Used Note 4 ???? - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Has anyone purchased on on line? I see many on ebay for less then 385.00.

Hi,
You shouldn't buy a used one. Most of times, it's counterfeit Note 4.

You can just return it or file a dispute with your bank if it is counterfeit.

Can I RMA my nexus i got from Craigslist

i need to get a replacement nexus because this one has crazy heat issues. I bought it used off craigslist. Can i get a replacement??

If you got the bill. Sure.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
No, warranty is non-transferable in normal circumstances. Call Google for clarification, though
It was purchased from a T-Mobile store if that matters

Why should it? If he owns the bill everything should be okay. Sold a phone once wich still was in warranty period. Just copied the Bill and everything was OK.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
Might work that way in the US, but in the UK a warranty isn't always transferable regardless of having the original POP because the device is technically 2nd hand and most warranties state it's for the original purchase only - definitely that way for the company I work for. If the original owner registered the unit for warranty then you're screwed. If not, you might be able to get away with it
I live in the us. Any way to check online?

Yes you can...I had a similar issue...bought off craigslist...screen had major flicker issues....if you get a hold of the person who sold you the phone and have them give you the receipt..then you can RMA it only through LG because its from t-mobile...mine was bought from google so google has the RMA processed.
Ya bought one from kijiji Toronto on wondering the same thingHe bought his from the play store...
Okay so let me update this so i can get a better answer. The phone i am needing a replacement on is a phone i got from craigslist. i don't have the receipt but the phone had never been turned on before i was the one to open the box. I don't have the receipt for the phone. So please someone who had been through this before can you give me some insight

If you did not purchase the device from Google Play you'll have to contact LG for warranty service. http://www.lg.com/us/support-mobile/lg-LGE960
If its from T-Mobile call customer care and get a warranty exchange if your phone line has the the device warranty.

Buying a nexus 4 off craigslist

Hello everyone.
I am about to get a nexus 4 off craigslist. What are some of the things I should look out for before I fork over my cash. Is there any issues I should be aware off? Thanks.

To be honest most of the issues people have aren't really common with nexus's? But make sure the common thing works. Like phone, camera data and etc. But make sure you ask for the order number and email he used to purchase it from google play to transfer warranty over.

Well may sure you can make calls and get data, no visible damages. Anything else you are covered by warranty. Yes the warranty is based on the phone (serial number), not based on who bought it.

No it isnt. Google Play requires the email and order number if you're transfering it over from someone else. Because for replacements they add a "bill on your account" because they send you over a new phone then after send you another back.

Can the t-mobile nexus 4 get blacklisted?

lol thinkin of stealing one?
anyways, real answer.... dont quote me on this because im not 100% sure, but i believe any device with an IMEI can be blacklisted and this goes across carriers. IE: get blacklisted on tmobile, itll be blacklisted on att also. someone correct me please if im wrong

I would guess technically they could block any IMEI number they wanted. Sort of like MAC filtering on a network.

Never stolen anything in my life. My friend wants to buy one from CL but is afraid the seller might report it lost later on and tmobile then blacklists the phone. However i read that this phone cannot be blacklisted since it comes unlocked...

Yes the phone can be blacklisted. Tmo and Att are suppose to have a database so phones , with Verizon and. Sprint joining the database later this year

How come your friend just doesn't get it from the play store? It's a lot safe.
Again what everybody else says, a buyer can report it stolen if they want to (or if the device was stolen and resold in the first place).

Definitely. Swappa and eBay are also good sources. Just make sure to use a bit of good logic and common sense and there shouldn't be a problem with either. Hell, I bought my mint N4 off swappa, got it in 2 days, and it was as mint as mint gets. Same goes for when i bought my galaxy nexus, except that was on ebay.
I could be wrong, but the only blacklisted phoned I've ever encountered, and this has only been recently I've started even seeing this, are phones that were bought on the subsidized plans and then the contract wasn't fulfilled.

any device that is registered on any network can be blocked/blacklisted by the account holder or if the EIP isn't paid off on a cancelled account. the IMEI is then unable to be used on any carrier within the US. You can still use the device in Canada or overseas with a local SIM card. the blacklisting is only here in the States.

Yeah I understand that but in my experience T-Mobile won't kill the IMEI on a stolen phone without a few things in check first...like a police report and stuff. I live in Philadelphia, you know what its like calling the cops and filing a police report for a stolen cell phone lol...

The seller sold me a working phone, few days later reported it stolen. So he profited off me and also got a new N4 for a small deductible.

Got scammed with a fake Galaxy Note 8.0 . Buyers beware...

So I tried to save some money by buying a Galaxy Note 8.0 online through Alibaba.com and boy did I screw myself. I should of just bought one here in USA or one from a reputable seller. They said it was original before I bought and of course I trusted them but WOW. It doesn't even have an S-Pen that's how fake this thing is.lol... So after messing with it and started downloading games it's not bad but with no S-Pen I think the Galaxy Tab would of been better geez...lol... What's make this even worse is that I did a factory reset and now my wifi ain't working. So now I'm screwed big time. I'm not much of a cell tech but I sure wish I could at least root it and have a different room so i can be at least a little happy with it. Can anyone help and send me a link where I can start. Any help would be much appreciated. Here's some pictures for those that have one so you can see the difference. You can't really tell but it's a knock off alright. Now I enclosed a picture of the build and it looks like it's rooted so if it is can I just load clockwork and install roms? Thanks again friends.

Why can't you return it? Or dispute the card charges with your bank?
Because the company in China guaranteed me it was Original Samsung and it wasn't. They said to return it for refund but what I'm going to pay to return from USA to China and to imagine that they keep it and not return my money. I'll just sell it local...

What you've described is fraud. You are not responsible for shipping charges when there has been material misrepresentation. I don't know what bank you use, but my bank would have those charges reversed in a heartbeat.

They burned me for 350 USD. I'm complaining and I won't stop even if nothing gets resolved. I told the seller I don't trust them for a refund after they lied about their "supposedly original" product. So they said they will refund me 200 and after I receive it, then to send it to them for a full refund but I'm trying to go for full refund if I can....

all the above phones are gonna be good, only one i wouldn't go with is the flex.
Can you really get an OPT and an S6 for the same price? In the Uk, an s6 is about £550, OPT is £300.
Do you have an invite for the OPT or can get one?
if not go with S6 or G4, both great specs just shame about the software.

Actually I live in KSA
Im going to buy OPT from a local online store which doesnt requires invite idk how..
The price of opt is 412 usd after a 200 sar voucher(KSA Currency)
And the s6 is is around 430 usd also after a voucher so is the g4
What i think is that opt will last longer as it has 4gb
But s6 has a better screen
And g4 has a very good camera and a better curved screen
So i wanna know which of the features of the above are more important?

only you can work that out, and that store will be selling the chinese version of the OPT, so might be worth checking out what bands your mobile provider uses, and what bands the phone has

Do u own op2?
Does 4gb really makes any difference or it is just a no. ??

I would surely go for OP2 any day....
Also, I strongly recommend you to buy OP2 only from official OnePlus Store. An open sale is scheduled this month so you can easily buy it this month... Don't go for 3rd party sellers.. You will have warranty issues and so. Also, they send Chinese Variant with OxygenOS flashed so you might not be able to use your carrier with it.

yes i own an OPT, and unless you buy from oneplus.net you are buying a second hand phone or a chinese version, fact.
the lag on the LG, maybe fix with custom roms, same deal with Samsung tbh.
yes the 810 does heat up, but i can deal with that, as i dont play games or watch videos for long times.
