Got my Nexus 6P yesterday in the UK. It's great!
I'm curious about the 'CE' text printed on the bottom panel on the back of it, a lot of the photos I've seen make it look like other devices don't have it which looks a lot cleaner, I don't think it's just the lighting/angle.
Is it true some do and others don't have it? If so any reason why?
Here's a picture (not mine) of the printed text I mean.

Think it depends on the country regulations, the units that ship to my country(India) have them as well.
Yea I think it's based on each country. I know the phones in US had to have that info printed too until last few years when FCC made that info not required no longer. I know my Nexus 4 and 5 both had it printed.
i'm more concerned about that ugly-ass barcode on the back.
Barcode is obviously just a sticker..
But yeah I guessed it'd be regional. Thing is I'm sure iPhone etc doesn't have those in the UK anymore so I'm not sure why these do. Not a huge deal as I'll be putting a skin on it anyway.

Dumb question but what is the sticker for? I wondered about removing mine earlier because as you say, it's ugly.

No idea, just stick it somewhere on the box. No need for it to be on the phone.

That'll be your IMEI number you've just posted to the world. I'd remove the pic asap, phone cloners can use it ...

It's not my photo, was from someone who posted it on Google+. Spose I should edit my post at least for his benefit. Blurred it out.

In the US, the FCC has allowed that info to be placed in a software location rather than on the phone itself. Probably just different in your country.

It actually is not an IMEI number. I removed my sticker yesterday. It just is the phone model number and some other info. Nothing related to MEID or IMEI.
I don't have the CE marking on my phone in the US.

Just looked at my sticker, I'm in England and it does include the IMEI number.
Does anyone know if the same printed information is there on all international versions of the phone? There seems to be two SKUs, the US version and an internation version. I'm guessing it might be printed on all the international ones but I was kind of hoping there was some region where it wasn't printed that I could import it from if I decide to buy it.

HI guys, I just received my S3 today, in fact I collected it from the depot because they failed to deliver it yesterday.
The box was sealed and with the security sticker. When I opened it, I saw fingerprints on the front screen protective sticker, and the protective sticker at the back looked like it was removed and reapplied.
I ignored this, but then on closer inspection inside, I saw one of the screws looked like it's broken.
Then the charger that came with it was battered like it was tossed and rolled around a roughflooring.
Good thing though is that the chip is "0xf7" which is considered safe from SDS.
I also just noticed it was "Made in India" the previous ones I had were "made in Korea by Samsung"
Here are pics: (uploading)
broken screw, click image for a large size:

I bought this from amazon UK market place, seller's name is "Trendsetter Company Limited" A.K.A. "Buy-it-right" - buyers be ware!!!
Luckily, this sale was "dispatched" by Amazon, so amazon will deal with it.
I have re-ordered a new one, which is now sold by Amazon themselves.... only reason I bought from 3rd party seller is that Amazon ran out of stock and it's showing availability within 2-4 weeks on their website, but now it is available.
If this new phone still has the 0xf1 chip, this is it, I had enough.. I will buy another brand of phone.

Odp: S3 something fishy ... please LOOK
0xf7 may be affected as all previous chips as long as it has april's firmware on board. And most of the chips has this fv.

That's what I was thinking, this is a refurb, but it was properly boxed and sealed though with stickers.
100% refurbished, all phones from manufacturer are packed with latex gloves, so there no place for fingerprints.
My phone, when i received it, was opened, because the seller has checked it before sending and it's ok, it was completely new.
Check its not a fake. I saw on YouTube that fake ones have different positions for front facing cameras and sensors. Check it against an official one. Was glad to find my one was official...
Hi guys,
As you may know, there are two concepts related to the "country":
1- What country the Note 3 has been made for. This info is related to CSC (region), and can be obtained by using some app, e.g my app Phone INFO...
2- In what country the Note 3 was made. This info is related to the Samsung's factory location. I see some pictures of Note 3 that has a label "Made by Samsung" or more detailed likes "Made in COUNTRY by Samsung" (picture attached below). So interesting if we can know in which country our Note 3 was actually made.
Any clues? May be we can get this information from IMEI range, S/N range? Thanks for any suggestion.

US model made in China here, battery also assembled in China from Samsung parts, but where are you going with this? The parts are made all over the world, the final assembly is mostly done by robots.
Look here:

Select SAMSUNG, then put your S/N

Can you put your S/N into the website http://sndeep.info/en and see if it show "made in china"?
Just to make sure if this site show the correct info.
Thank you.
Any idea?

It shows Tianjin, China , Nov 2013, clean, I bought it around BF, seems just about right.
Is that site in Russia? It only shows 2 language options: Russian and English.

Thank you. And it also shows "Made in china" in the back of the phone, right?
You can also use my app Phone INFO (link given above) to check for the manufacturing date and compare.

So last week i bought a galaxy s5 on criagslist for a good price but i think i got scammed. The phone is having quite a bit of network problems and wifi. The model number on the phone says its a SM-G900(_). there is no letter at the end of it. also i factory reset the phone and the rom has AnTuTu Benchmark installed so that tells me it is not the stock rom. it looks like i might have bought an overpriced paper weight. i would like to find the original rom for this model and install it. i put up 2 links of images that could help. i usually never post anything because i always find what i'm looking for by searching but i cannot find an answer to this.

Do an imei check and download CPU z and check the chip set. It should say either snapdragon 801 or exynos
From the screenshot you posted, I think you have a g900s, which is apparently the Korean version.
I suggest you take it back to the guy if you are not satisfied.
Qualcomm snapdragon

It's weird all over it. Seems like it's a fake model.
The included Antutu is a giveaway, it's tricked. Try some other benchmark.
Also download phone INFO from the play store. It should be more accurate.

An easy way to check if your device is a knock-off is to check if the finger print sensor works!
Knock-offs don't have it!
it's fake.
your phone's cpu is mt6582.
samsung doesn't use mediatek processor.
Grrrrr well at least I know where to track down the guy that sold it to me. He's in trouble

I am going to buy nexus 6p on friday :laugh: . My previous phone was Lg g4 which died after 7 months of use because of a loose connector in the motherboard. Basically it was a defective unit. My phone serial number was S/N: 505 which was the earlier produced unit. [505= 2015 May, 506=2015 June, 506=2015 July.... & so on} So this time i wants to buy a later produced 6p. But how do i know the build date without opening the box?
I am posting a sample picture of the 6p retail box [collected]:

Is it yours or an auction? Looks like real s7edge but software info and model number would confirm that.

is an auction .
It's hard to say without actually having the device in front of me. But the serial number should confirm.
Ask him about software info, model number photos and I can't see anything on the back of the phone

All you can do is buy it and see for yourself. Pay with Paypal and return it if it's fake
ok, i will ask him.
Why would you even think that it's fake? The price is low?

And how's going? Did he answer yet?

The phone in the picture and the accessories also the box seems to be 99.9% genuinely. Nevertheless you can check the imei to see what comes out. Anyway the price for the condition shown in the pictures and not to say that a wireless charger is included is to good to be true so be very very carefully. If you can, check the ratings of the seller.
