Where can i buy in-ear earphone for the Note? the one received with the Note got damaged (by me). can not find a similar piece with volume and media (audio) controls. Please guide if these can be bought from some store in Mumbai.
Have you asked in mobile stores or looked on the web?

Yes... I looked up several online Indian sites and equired at leading retail stores. Surprisingly even the most basic accessory with call management system is not available for such an expensive and good phone
Have you spoke to Samsung?

Yes... They too have the answer as 'no'. Very very surprising as the phone is doing quite well in India. Ppl will require genuine accessories
Thats not good.
Have you looked on E Bay?

I visited ebay.in and found few sellers with the required earphone. But the prices varied a lot and honestly some friends have had issues with products purchased using that site. Though the seller refunds/replaces the product, it is very time consuming process and constant follow up is required. How do these guys have it with them when even samsung retail stores do not, is the question. Anyways thanks for the suggestion.
Because they buy them as Samsung does not seem to be interested.

hmmmm. thanks guess this will be the only way.
So I've been looking for the Samsung Fast QI Charger and it seems Samsung is either sold out or haven't released it yet. I did find it on sale here but haven't actually ordered it yet. Not sure of the site and wanted to just share. It's actually on sale as well and they claim it's in stock....

I can vouch for the site. It's part of mobile nations which also hosts android central.

I bought one from Samsung's website about 2 weeks ago. The white one was still on backorder but i wanted black anyway. Also had my gf pick one up in Korea for me before that cuz the price is a lot lower over there.
I'm looking for a replacement battery for a Note 2 in the UK, and wanted to buy an Anker but they don't seem to be available anywhere. There are lots of "genuine" Samsung batteries on eBay, and this one on Amazon which has very few reviews:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Original-Galaxy-Note-GT-N7100-EB595675LU/dp/B014WD73QY
Can anyone recommend a good one that is actually available in the UK??
Hello and thank you for posting in the Q&A section,
the battery you linked is a good one. I am not using it, but it is okay.
Kind regards

I just bought this thing off Ebay and didn't do my homework because some people have bought other wireless chargers that were cheap like this one. I'm going to go to Best Buy and will pick up the original one to compare to the one that is coming. The one off ebay is $39.99 while the one's on BB is $69.99. Sounds too good to be true. I already contacted the seller and told them that I WILL KNOW if it's fake. I'll post my findings here so no one gets screwed like probably I did. I'm going to return it (almost certain).
Sounds too good to be true, so.....
Keep us posted.

That's what the concensus is currently for these things.

I saw a video on YouTube where someone waswas explaining tdifferences between a fake wireless charger and an original wireless charger. There were somesome subtle differences and you could only tell by having the original and fake one side by side. I think that someone mentioned that the fake one would only do a "wireless charging", while the original one would say "fast charging", when you would put the phone (S7 edge) on the charger. Also there are power bricks that are fake too. Honestly, I would only buy these charges from BB and maybe B&H. Not even AMZN, because there have been fake ones in there too. I'll pick up the original one probablyprobably today from BB. The one from Ebay is coming tomorrow, but I'm not holding my breath.
OK, so I just picked up the original wireless charger pad for $75 at the local BB. Now I have to wait for the one coming from eBay. I also bought a car charger that is supposed to be from Samsung too, but BB doesn't carry that one. I'm also weary about the car charger. It sucks to have to deal with this, but it is what it is.
Update: just tested the car charger bought from Ebay (hopefully original Samsung charger). My phone does say "fast charging", so I'm thinking that is a good sign.
I've just recently taken delivery of four of these (black) sold and shipped by Amazon.com LLC for $36.34 a piece.
They are quite genuine. Not sure why anyone would want to risk eBay when those are available.

Some of the stuff I buy from eBay ends up coming from Amazon. But anyways, after carefully looking at the one that came from BB and the one that came from Ebay, the Ebay one seems original, but it almost looks used (the BB one looks more glossy, if that makes sense). Also the chargers look slightly different. The Ebay one has a V in the back, while the BB one has a VI. Also, the packaging is different too, so I'll probably be returning both and buying one from AMZN like it was mentioned above. Even at AMZN you have to be careful because some sellers do slip fake chargers in there too. So bottom line, don't get this from Ebay.

Precisely why I referenced Amazon.com LLC as the seller. Maybe others have had an experience dissimilar to mine, but I've never received a fake product from them - and even if it were to happen, has anyone ever had them deny a legitimate return?
With Red Weasel Sales (TM) you take your chances. Maybe you'll win, maybe you'll get burned.
If you find out it's real, and there's more, please post up links. Nobody wants to pay full price lol.
I'm looking to buy a Wireless Charger for the first time as i find myself ordering new cables more often than i would like.
(unfortunately im in the UK so i got the DEX with my Note8)
I don't really wanna fork out the full Samsung Price but at the same time i do not want my house burning down because of a cheap rip off
What are you guys using / have used and what would you recommend?
i use the samsung one for this year, and i truly recommend it for his quality/speed and premium feel. or you could save some money and get last year's version instead.

My experience is to buy whichever wireless charger you decide on from an actual store like Best Buy or even directly from Samsung. I've purchased "real" fast wireless chargers from eBay and Amazon and had to go through the hassle of getting my money back because they turned out fake.

If you don't mind one that stands up, rather than laying flat, I can thoroughly recommend the Choetech desktop charger - it fast charges no problem.

This is what i was afraid of, pretty much every single one on eBay looked fake to me and the product description was suspect. you really can not trust eBay with anything these days.

decided a stand up one would be nice to take advantage of the always on display. Also the misses has my old S7Edge so we will both be using it

I purchased 2 of these directly from Samsung after getting burned a few times with fakes. I used my 30% off any accessory coupon for registering my Note8 and got it for less than $30 (it would seem the price has went up since then) and it works with my Otterbox Defender case. https://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/m...s-charging-pad-black-sapphire-ep-pn920tbegus/

Glad you got rid of the fakes... There an accident waiting to happen.

For future reference, the link I supplied is the genuine link from Choetech themselves (it's the link I used to get the review model they provided for me).

Oh cool you managed to get a free one? I applied too but didn't hear anything looks like ill be doing a paid review for this one.. haha
And yeah I can see it's official I just meant it discouraged me seeing other fakes around of the same product
(There are replica's around that instead of being branded "CHOETECH" are branded "Fast Charge")

How was it? charge fast as original?
I just got the shipping notice that my free Samsung wireless charger was delivered today. Cannot wait to try it out as I have seen a ton of good stuff written about it. Will let you all know what I think.
Got my Samsung Wireless charger set up yesterday and it works amazing. I love being able to switch from a flat to a cradle setup and have not had a single issue with the charger finding the phone, even with the Spiegen Neo Hybrid case (which I love btw) on the phone. This is my first foray into wireless charging and I am already wondering why I waited so long.

Have you guys noticed wireless charging gets your phone hotter than cable charging?

It will do. As your using an induction coil to charge.

I got one for free but it doesn't work with an OtterBox Defender charger so I literally never used it.
