HI
Waited over 3 weeks from upgrade request for phone from O2 UK due to bad weather. When phone arrived it had wrong data cable in box (yes box was sealed as new). Has this happened to any one else??..

Is it a European power cable? I bought my HD7 from the UK but I live in the Netherlands, so it's useless for me. I got a UK charger that I would like to exchange.
Was Data Cable that was wrong size (mini usb not micro).
Got it sorted O2 sent replacement data cable, was just wondering igf this has happened to anyone else.
Hello everyone. that might be stupid question, but i want to make right decision.
I was looking for similar threat but couldn't find. I would like to buy I9000. And the price is nearly same in UK and Germany, bit more cheaper in UK. Would be there any difference between them, except UK and EU charger? And if there is any difference, what country phone to choose? And if there is not, than I just take one of them. I will be waiting for your answers. Thank you all.

I don't know of any difference between the UK and German SGSs (I believe they are both the i9000 International model) except for software (different CSC, likely different modem...both easily changed). Most SGSs come with a USB cable that plugs into a charger, so that is easily replaced as well, or may even come with multiple plugs. I assume the phone will be bought unlocked, so you can put your own SIM card in?
All else being equal, buy the cheapest one.
Oh, OK then. If that is so easy +1 for such a quick respond. I am in Germany at the moment so I'm thinking to buy in here,even if it is a little bit more expensive. But will not have to wait so long for delivery, and the charger will be corect from start thank you again.
Hello everybody, I've had my T879 Note since December and now my charging port is broken. Word of advice dont let you kids play with your phone while its on the charger.
I found the replacement part, but was wondering if I could use one lets say from the i717 or from similer models. Pictures of the part looks the same for all the devices just that they are branded different. Would it matter?

So I ended up buying a new charging port from etradesupply, was shipped from china to my house in about 3days. Cost $10 another $14 for standard shipping. Very easy to install about 5-10mins.
Thks for follow up. Good to know

This is good to know. My wife's GNote just broke and stumble upon your question here while browsing for unrelated subject. I will definitely check out your research.
Hi Everyone,
I am from the USA and bought a S3 Mini 6 months ago on Amazon since I needed an unlocked phone for traveling abroad. The phone was working fine but now just will not turn on or charge. There it wasn't dropped or exposed to water. Amazon won't let me return it since it's been over 3 months, the seller also won't let me return it, and Samsung USA is saying they cannot help because it is an international phone and inside the battery case it says it was made in Vietnam. I called Samsung in Vietnam and they said I have to contact Samsung USA.
Does anyone have suggestions on what I should do? I tried contacting Samsung on Twitter and they haven't responded.
Your help is much appreciated!

I can't help you with the warranty, but if you can find another battery you may want to test using that first.
If the battery really really flat, you can try connecting the phone to charger for half a day. Happened to mine once, it did not even display charging.

Thanks for the advice. I tried getting a new battery and charging it without the battery for day. Unfortunately, still nothing.
I have a vendor ROM on my Mi Mix: MIUI Global 8.0.7.0.0 (MAHCNDI)
Has anyone else found this ROM on their phone?
It came with gapps installs and has been completely fine so far.

Here's a good question - how do you tell if there's any dodgy spyware or whatever installed on a vendor rom?

I got mine from HK as well. Same ROM.
I just assumed it was the normal ROM that these phones came with..

Same for me. My concern is that I think there should be an update. That is not the latest software revision...

From what I've read vendor roms have 5 digits, stock roms have 4 digit version numbers.
I too, have this ROM. I've had this phone for 3 years and love the design. Just last week, the screen started separating from the frame on the right side of the phone. The flash doesn't work anymore and it has a small chip on the right top corner of the glass. I don't know how this happened because I take superlative care of my devices. Anyway, I tried to find another new one from a seller and I DID find one on DH Gate that was selling them brand new for $192. At first I thought it was a hoax, but I bought it and it was delivered on Thursday. Monday-Thursday from China to Texas. I always choose expedited shipping. DHL usually delivers in 2 days from China to Texas.
That being said, the new one had some strange developer ROM on it and I did root it, but was having issues with the original ROM, so I reverted back to an older version that could be rooted. I bought my original Mi Mix from a seller on E-bay named manysellok. I ordered about 10 phones from that seller, so I like to go with sellers that I have a good experience with. I just wrote the seller tonight on 6-7-2020 and told them about my situation. The new ROM had the Mi store and the THEMES app are both in Chinese. No matter what I do, I cannot make them display English.

Would you consider to sell your old MI MIX?

I'm not sure if I want to sell it or not. The display on the old one is much brighter than the new one.
This was the most expensive phone that I ever bought. I paid like $725 for it. It's still very usable, just that flash issue and the screen separating on the right side. Honestly, I don't notice it unless I view it from the right side. Using the phone normally I don't even notice it. Other than those 3 issues, the phone is pristine. I never hold it to my ear, I always talk with bluetooth. And I have been a germaphobe for about 35 years now, way before the corona virus came out. When I buy a used phone, usually on E-bay, I'll wipe it down about 3 times with Clorox bleach foamer. Then use Clorox wipes, then finally with alcohol. I don't allow germs on my phones. I wasn't really thinking about selling it, but if you really needed one, I can point you to the seller that I bought my new one from. He's in China. Choose expedited shipping and he'll ship it Fed-Ex. I got mine 2 days after he shipped it and I live in Texas.

Im using my Mix since 01.2017, no any separation anywhere no flash issue, yours might be reacting to bleach/alcohol. But I guess there's a special glue for it. I'd say go for it.
Sent from my Xiaomi Mi Mix using XDA Labs
I didn't use all of the chemicals on this one because I bought it brand new.
I only do that with USED phones that I buy.
Check out the link I sent. He's a good seller and you'll get the new one fast with Fed-Ex.
