With registered galaxy note 2 owners can take advantage of 50% off...

The catch is it has to be below $50 in order to get 50% coupon added.
Any items from oem Samsung would be nice purchase? I'm looking at those docks. Or spen with eraser. Anyone want to Chrime in?

Why it has to be under $50? I bought the All Share Hub, $99 down to $49 with coupon
I notice that the coupon doesnt work with flip cover 4 pack bundle though, I guess maybe because it's already discounted.

Do you guys mind explaining...I'm a little lost here

I'm just assuming the OP was talking about the 50% discount code that we can use to buy Samsung accessories at Samsung store.
The code was given when they have promo for GS3 and Note2 owner after we registered our phones.

Didnt got one (canada) maybe only works in US

agreed. I'm in Canada as well and didn't receive any such promo code

Samsung recently changed the deal to 50% off accessories under $50. They were probably selling too many of the HDMI docks. :silly:

Did not really matter because 50% off "Out of Stock - Backordered" is still $0.00.

I saw the OP and registered my Note II on the Samsung website. I got the coupon code seconds later, via emai. I just used it to purchase the Allshare Cast Hub for $49.99 (originally priced at $99).

I used my coupon for the slate grey flip cover and 2 packs of tectiles. Otherwise I would have gone with cheaper accessories.

You realize that universal health care sucks right? The wait times for some diagnostic scans take 3, 6, or even 9 months.

I think you can use it multiple times. You can use it 10 items or until the expiration date. I was hoping to get one or two of the OEM chargers because they are longer than most and charge fast.

Itskins Problem

Any body have a problem ordering from Itskins? I ask because I ordered their GLA.Z Tempered Glass Screen Protector. I ordered it on 1/26/2013, right before their national holiday.
They do not respond to my E-Mails. I've left messages on their "Offline" support, which never seems to be online.
I am now getting very annoyed. My order has been labeled "IN PREPARATION" for over a month!
:crying:

So . . . no problems?. It's just me?
O.K., what were your turn around times? Was it months, weeks, days or what?

i posted in the itskins thread regarding this. they don't respond to anything. i sent emails and offline messages inquiring about their Lava case for the note 2. i ended up ordering it despite it being out of stock. it took about 4-5 days but it came. i think you just got unlucky with your order. the case i got isn't that great. I'd go with a different company. casemate at least has amazing customer service.

opasha - Well the %@!$&*^%!*@$ have my money already. I'll either give up (NOT) or keep contacting them via their allowed methods.
I really liked the look of their SP. Full screen, even around the speaker and the home button.
While I wait impatiently, I'll have to find an as good replacement.

I ordered on 1-15. After 2 months I just requested a refund through email. They never responded but I did get a refund. Also seems that their screen protectors are just now ready to ship out this week.
Also when I ordered I got a discount. The refund me the normal price. Got an extra 10 dollars back

I wish they would have told me that it would be in stock soon.
Where did you find that information?

Itskins gave me a reply, which is all I wanted. (besides my SP) Communication is so important.
Dear Lord Sekhmet,
We have been working on Note 2 Gla.z since last 3 month we have notice some imperfection about the product. Because we dont want to hold you money I would rather refound your payement and let you know when product will be effective so you can decide to place a new order Please let me know your thoughts.
Best Regards
Shirley

While I Wait...

....for my H/K m8 to arrive via mail I found this 64 gb class 10 micro sd card on Ebay with free shipping if anyone is interested. It is from a reputable memory maker and seller has 100% positive feedback rating (over 4000 reviews). Pretty good price with free shipping. Here is the link if anyone is interested:
This is the link. Not sure how long this price will last! ($24.99)
PS. I don't have a performance review because I just ordered mine on 5/12/14. I will update thread with performance review once I receive it.
Sharing is caring!
*Update: Card never shipped and I am awaiting refund.
*Update: Received refund, lesson learned. Thank you @aer0zer0, @MindfulSheep and @redpoint73 for the scolding and valuable info.

It's fake, I bought the same one. Got my money back though.

Download SD insight, it will only write about 7.5gb then trash everything else

Or download h2testw for the pc and check it first

Here are results from that card, I bought from the exact same seller 3 weeks ago

I thanked for refund

Your pictures do not show manufacturer or anything that says your test is on the same card. I will let you know if it's fake when I get mine. Seller does not have 1 bad review related to this card. You just posted three times in a row with no proof of this card being fake lIke you claim.

Rule of thumb: If it sounds too good to be true, and Ebay is involved, it's not legitimate.

eBay just has too many counterfeits. The eller does have a really good rating. But its still not worth it to me, when I can buy from a reputable seller (NewEgg, Amazon) for around $10 more, and be positive its legit and a vendor with a highly reliable return policy.

So, i work at a company where i have to work with alot of conformity marks. We got dinged a couple years ago for having a CE logo that wasnt to dimensions (they are REALLY tough on this). If you look at the package on the back where the conformity logos are, the CE logo is all messed up. STRIKE1
I put the SD card in my laptop before it even went into my phone, it registers 62.8GB free EXFAT...... Thats definitely not right for a 64GB, should be around 59 and change formatted properly...STRIKE2
Then i ran H2testW on the card, and you can see the results from the pictures i posted STRIKE3.
Its pretty impressive for a knockoff, the screen printing is nice, packaged well etc... but it is what it is

Yeah, I've seen far to many reports like this on XDA. Its unfortunate that so many knockoffs have polluted eBay, as I'm sure there are plenty of legit sellers. But for things like SD (easy to counterfeit and make it look like a much more expensive version), I only buy direct from a reputable vendor (Amazon, NewEgg, etc.).

I know it sounds to good to be true but memory is fairly cheap right now. I will take my chances if it does not test good I will file a claim and hope to get my money back.

He refunded me via PayPal once I called him on it

FYI you should never buy Kingston. They're re-branded "A-Grade" SD cards (They have slightly more defective sectors/Not the best of the batch), and you never know what the factory making them is. (Most of the time they're Toshiba or Sandisk) Stick with Sandisk/Samsung/etc

Op is going to get a fake card. This has been going on for years now, I can't believe people still fall for it.

What does "working perfectly" mean? Did you test it for speed and capacity?
Speed class might be hard to tell the difference without testing apps depending on what you are saving to the SD.
Capacity on the fakes will falsely report to the phone (so it will show up as full capacity) until you hit the actual capacity (i.e. an actual 8GB card faked to look like a 64GB), then it won't be able to right any more filees.

It wasn't a "scolding" from me. Just passing on what I've seen many others report on XDA for your information; along with my own personal opinion on where I buy SD memory from.

AT&T devices are Shipping!

hey everyone, it looks like AT&T is shipping the galaxy s6 4 days ahead of their official shipping date. I got mine shipped today and estimated delivery is on Tuesday! Hopefully most other AT&T devices shipped today as well. Also, this is my first Samsung phone since the galaxy s2. I want to know somethings I need to look out for in this new phone, regarding software, the locked boot loader on AT&T models etc.
Thanks,

When did you pre-order? I had to redo my order on 4/1 because there was an issue with my original order made on the 27th.

Yeah, me too! Scheduled to arrive on Tuesday.

Same..got the notification of shipment. Can't wait

Because we monitor progress on the device in hopes that a means of rooting will be found. That way we know what is going on in the community and are aware of existing issues so we can hit the ground running rather than posting a million noob questions (thus minimizing the number of 'google that, noob' posts clogging well developed threads).

Case in box

Ive seen a lot of unboxing videos and most were international models that all came with a case, so I just want to know if the USA model will come with a case included?

From what I've heard just international has case included ,

Can someone confirm that the international/Europe s10 will have a case in the box. Have seen it as well in some unboxing vids. But have not found any confirmation on the retail box shipping since yesterday.
Will get mine hopefully next week. Eager to know if i have to spend more time searching for a case like crazy to have my investment safe at least in the beginning.
Haven't dropped a phone in a long time but I know I will first day with a new phone especially without a case.

I did not get a case with mine. You should check the retailers page about what is included in the box. At least here in Finland they specify what is included in the box and a case is not on the list.

Thx for the info. I ordered from Amazon in germany, living in austria. Haven't seen any info of a case on the product website. At least I will not have to wait that long to see.
But as I don't see any info of any case in the box in Europe I guess it's not included.

I ordered on the German Samsung website, so their own online shop. The order in the online shop says it's in preparation but I already received the phone on 6th of March, so before the launch. The buds are mentioned on the order but no info about status.

I've got my phone within a contract with Vodafone Germany.
The ear buds need to be ordered in the Samsung Members app, there you have to register your device including a scan / copy of the invoice.
In my box there wasn't a case and I really don't know why manufacturers are packing different boxes for each country. It's not Samsung only, Huawei does the same and it's kinda annoying that they do this.
I'm often on international English speaking tech sites where they post stuff like "there's a case in the box" or "the S10 will have the SD855" and when it comes to the release here in Germany all hopes and expectations are getting blown away.
I'm glad that Samsung put a screen protector on the phone even for Germany.

Sadly almost none of the good cases sold on Amazon will ship to Austria.
