I have a guy that wants to trade me for my oneplus 2. I have googled until I'm blue in the face. He swears there's no HK or C after the model number. He also says it has google play. He bought it used. I have found a ton of contradictory information online. What is the real story with this phone? He also said it is not a dual sim phone.

As soon as he said it isn't dual sim it is fake. I have the N9200, the phone is made for China, HK and 1 other country. The HK firmware has Google Play, the other firmwares don't. If it wasn't fake he wouldn't think about doing that trade...
I sent him a text a little bit ago. He said he's never looked for sure on the dual sim. What other things lead to it being a fake. Can you post a screenshot of your settings and stuff please?

Hello,
I am from Istanbul, Turkey. As you know, Samsung released its Exynos version Note 3 in Turkish market. Note 3 with Exynos Octa processor costs approx. $1000 here in Turkey. That's why, I want to place an order from a friend who is currently in New York.
He said the cheapest Note 3 with Snapdragon processor costs $725 in AT&T Manhattan store. But the guys in that store said to him that the phone cannot be used in Turkey. And they said that he can only buy the "working versions" of Note 3 from Best Buy, Amazon or eBay.
I just want to know that, if he buys that N9005 (Snap.800) model for me, am I going to be able to use that phone in Turkey with XDA's unlock tools? I really need your help because I just have 3 days left to decide and place the order.
Many thanks..
Alper
I was told by an att rep when I bought mine that att will sim unlock any of their phones. Given it is paid for/not stolen/etc. I would call att customer service and get some solid answers

Besides "Sim Lock", I heard there is also something called "Regional Lock". Are these two different things or not? Thank you for your reply.
any other idea or suggestion?

Different:
"Samsung introduced a new regional lock on Galaxy Note 3 units shipped in Europe and the Americas, mandating users activate it with a SIM in the region it is sold in before it can be used anywhere else."
Hi Folks,
I have a feeling I have been done over
I bought what I thought was a HTC One 802w DUAL sim phone on Aliexpress... I received the phone today and to my surprise it looks like a "normal" single HTC One, which I certainly wouldn't have needed to go to China for. I could buy one locally.
I say "looks like" rather than "is", because I have a growing feeling that the phone is actually a fake / clone. As far as I know there isn't / wasn't a single sim varient ever released in China - can someone please confirm this? It's got Chinese bloatware on the phone so it's for the Chinese market...
Also I just came across a webpage that I can't post the link to because I don't have 10 posts yet... If you Google "htc one china single sim card" and click on the first link (ksrplayer.com)
It looks VERY similar, in fact it looks IDENTICAL to what I received.
Thanks,
Mike
Looking on the back of the phone it shows it as an "801n / PN07100" - was this version ever relased in China?
As far I can see it wasn't. Apart from being I got delivered the wrong phone, I want to establish if I've been sent a fake / clone... I still think I have.
Thanks
is not a fake, is only single sim 3g version, maybe you can put some pictures
Hello,
I need some advice. I want to buy second hand HTC One M7 but the guy who sales the phone doesn't have any documents, box or something like that. I've check the phone, it's not blacklisted and I'm sure it is not stolen. The phone looks brand new, and the guy told me that is bought from Austria, so I suppose it's for european market. But I've noticed few strange things. The phone has 16gb internal memory, and the software says it's 801e. Also there are few standard applications missing, but there is Weibo?!? Isn't Weibo chinese social network? What the heck Weibo is doing on the phone for european market?
So now I suppose that the phone is for Asia (China) market, and maybe is bought on aliexpress.com like refurbished phone. The price that the guy want for the phone is 294 US$. All thing looks to me as fraud.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance
The -e Version seems to have no LTE. I would check The RAM and The buildnumber in settings

You are right. 801e has no LTE . I find this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2223236 and check it. Thanks. So 801e is definitely not for european market but for Asia.
Does anyone know which bands the international version of this phone supports?
Thanks!

Nobody knows, waiting on the same thing, right now some stores in china are selling a "international version" of the phone but is the same phone just with CM12.1 and only have the LTE bands supported in china, not the ones we use in USA, so unless they release a US specific version LTE will not work on the US.
I tired to contact ZUK sales to confirm the bands, but no reply from them.
zuk.hk only shows chinese bands, but I can't believe they would release a phone to international markets without proper bands. That would be like shooting their own legs.
The chinese version would work for me though, only "semi-needed" band would be 4G band 20 (800MHz), which is quite new in Finland and used mainly outside bigger cities. Price of Z1 though is a killer, even though it is not as high spec'd as OnePlus Two, it is still an upgrade for OPO with cheaper price tag...
The only spec that the OnePlus 2 has higher than the Z1 is the CPU, but I prefer a SD 801 way more than a SD810 and his heating problems

What I've heard is that SD810 doesn't heat so much with the OnePlus 2, but maybe that's because it's underclocked (or that's what I've heard).
Other than that, they are quite similar. OnePlus 2 has 1GB more ram in the 64GB version though, but who needs 4gigs in a phone, really.... =)
But for me, ZUK Z1 seems like a good choice with bigger battery, USB-C 3.0 and cyanogen os out of the box. If I would buy these phones now, it would be (in euros):
OnePlus 2: ~425eur (incl. shipment) ~476USD
ZUK Z1: ~293eur (incl. shipment) ~328USD
hmm, not a hard choice
These are the bands:
TDD-LTE （bands: 38 39 40 41）
FDD-LTE (bands: 1 3 7)
TD- SCDMA (bands: 34 39)
WCDMA (850 900 1900 2100 MHz)
CDMA2000 (800MHz)
GSN/EDGE(850 900 1800 1900 MHz)
CDMA (800MHz)
There are quite a few reviews out now from people in the states. I saw one from zdnet this morning. And another from android headlines. It looks like they tried testing the device on T-Mobile and att and lte was not supported. From what I gather they got early release test devices that were in fact the international variant. So it looks like no lte for the states which is a major deal breaker. Otherwise this would have been the perfect phone for me.

My only hope is that they are testing the Chinese version with the International software..
There is no point in selling the international version to the US if it misses lte bands altogether..
I also hope that the new Zuk coming in January with the new Snapdragon will support all bands...
Is it me or all these international /Chinese brands always build the almost perfect phone? They get so close and mess up on the important stuff...

I was thinking the same thing. However I don't think missing the mark is just limited to the Chinese for example. The blu xl that just got released would have been absolutely perfect had it not been for it being 6 inches and bigger than the nexus 6! It is everything the new moto x pure is plus a finger print sensor for 349 US. Why in the hell they would stick with the sweet spot that everyone else is going with between 5.2 and 5.7 inches in beyond me. But yes lots of companies so close to the perfect phone this year. I can live without NFC even though I would really like to use Android pay. But no lte in the US is an absolute deal breaker.

Agreed.
Another example of a smaller brand getting almost everything right with the blu xl.
Blu has tons of phones and for their international debut they bring out this size "monster"..

Most likely they did test Chinese version with CM12.1 installed (not Cyanogen OS). There's bunch of sellers on Aliexpress that provide this phone with CM12.1 or similar ROM inside and Google Play also.
Still no confirmed information from Lenovo, ZUK or whatever, which brands are included in the "international" model. I agree that Chinese bands are a huge showstopper for US, but mainly OK for EU. Some bands missing, but nothing huge.

hello there an android code for the gsm bands lte, thank you
I would have chosen Amazon but If you look at reviews for alot of the shipped op3/3t phones from Amazon which state them as a a3000 which is supposed to be the only one to get LTE in the U.S especially on T-Mobile . Seems that every single reviews seller on Amazon and even some saying they're getting the wrong models right from One plus website the major down side to this is the LTE bands for U.S Carriers .
And I'm seeing this alot on Amazon with international modeled devices like s7 g930f
Or s6 models and op3 them 3 particularly. Seems like the only device that has straight get what you ordered reviews as far as what model and LTE support is the Nexus 6p.
My question is anyone ordered the op3 and got the exact Model they expected and needed for T-Mobile and ATT LTE bands. And what source was it orders through.
If you choose U.S Store on theyre site I'm assuming that's the protocol to ensure you'll get the U.S variant .
I'm expecting mine in 4 days from One plus.

Well, having talked to a OnePlus person online, they say they are only partnered with Amazon India. So never buy OnePlus 3 or 3T on amazon. Buy it only on the OnePlus website. You could also try geekbuying. But, OnePlus has vowed to ship same day so you will get your phone faster than before.
I ordered mine from one plus website got it in about 3-4 days.
Yeah i went straight to the source. No problems

First of all, you can't really go by reviews (to give you a accurate ratio of correct models received versus incorrect), since folks are much more likely take to the internet when something has gone wrong, and they want to vent. It's not as common that folks will make a review just to say "they sent me the right thing" or "everything was fine"; unless the service was really outstanding; or they really like the product, etc. Although I will agree, the number of reviews citing the wrong model was sent is probably too high to be comfortable with.
Secondly, if the product is either sold direct by Amazon, or "fulfilled by Amazon" and they send you the wrong model, they owe you an exchange or refund, at no cost to you. That includes return shipping, since it was their fault. If the product doesn't match the description, it's on them. That is a good thing to remember for any Amazon purchase. Now, if you buy from a third party ("other seller") on Amazon, and it's not "fulfilled by Amazon" either, then the return policy may vary. It's these sellers you have to be careful with (when shopping on Amazon). And you should always check the return policies are in your favor when buying something as expensive as a smartphone.
Lastly, I agree that what you did (and others suggested) is best. Just buy direct from OnePlus. The prices on Amazon aren't much better, maybe $5-10 cheaper after you take shipping into account, if that (OnePlus will ship for free). So it's worth it, to just get it direct from OnePlus.
i oredered straight from one plus site and it arrived in 2 days, no problems at all
