Realized I bought a fake galaxy s5 earlier today. I didn't know there were so good fakes out there now, I haven't kept up with cell phones since the HTC EVO 3D. I'm mad, I bought it for $325 . I am so ****ing pissed at myself for being so stupid. I should have come on here first and done some research but I was dying for a new phone since I have been on the Nokia Lumia 900 for the past year and its on its last legs, saw the 325 price tag on CL and jumped on it thinking I got a good deal. Never again will I let impulses get the best of me. This is more of a rant, but also here is this guys information in case any of you are in the Central Florida region (this is a copy and paste of a CL ad I just made warning other users on CL):
This mother****er sold me a fake Galaxy S5. His ads are the following links:
links are blocked because I have less than 10 posts
His phone number is: 7862021013
And he calls himself T. He is a tall black man that drives a sedan. He will ask you to meet him in front of Walmart on Turkey Lake Rd.
DO NOT BUY THE GALAXY S5 or any phones from him, no matter how low he is going. The S5 is 100% fake. Run CPU-ID app on phone and you will see that it does not have a Snapdragon process but an ARM Cortex old ass one. It also does not have 16gb memory but 1.7gb. Also if you look at the box you will notice that it says 3GB of RAM when the original Galaxy S5 really has 2GB. This man is a lie and a cheat. Do not get conned like I have. I gave him $325 and am stuck with a fake ass replica.
This is only fair warning to other CL users, I would hate to hear of others fall victim to this con.
**edit: Updated with pictures of the fake s5. I should have looked at the box itself more closely, right there it said 3GB RAM, Fell so stupid.

For $325 for an S5 you should expect it to be stolen, Broken, or bad IMEI. Or in this case fake. I NEVER use craglist anymore due to this happening to people with any & everything. I also Highly Recomend Swappa.com I see fakes sold ALL the time on Cragslist. I Usually send harassing texts about to them as well. lol.
But could you not tell it was fake? I know they have gotten better at making decent knock offs but usually at first glance of the front and or software / Screen I can tell easily.
That wretch, I feel for you! Just make sure when you get the S5 get the new one with more memory. Just chalk it up as a lesson learned, heck you have a little toy to play with now.

$325, really? Even if it were stolen / hot, he'd be selling it for more than that...
Did you contact the police?

I didn't look at it very closely, like I said I haven't really been in the market for phones for awhile. I didn't realize the fakes are so much better than it used to be. I also did 0 research before buying and the thought of a fake one didn't occur, stupid me. I also put up pictures just now to show you all what I got.

Ya. I don't know what happened today, normally I'm very skeptical, but the dire need for a new phone got the better of me and I really wanted the S5...thought i hit gold with this deal...I would rather have donated or gambled that money away then give it to that conning ****er on CL. I also put up pictures just now to show you all what I got.

Orlando Police are jokes. They don't do squat EVEN if you give them all the evidence they need. I only have his phone number, I don't have a pic of him or his car plate. I should have been more skeptical when I saw him take out a burner phone...so stupid. I also put up pictures just now to show you all what I got.
The first giveaway is that the earpiece should be black and not silver.
So sorry you got screwed over man.

You have a phone number and a CR add, they could easily find him.
Dude, be honest here, you were buying a new phone for $325 from a dude in a parking lot. You KNEW you were likely buying stolen property and didn't care. Your not calling the police has nothing to do with their competence .. or lack there of.

Doesn't hurt to call and talk to PD.
Are you sure ?
Hi, Sad to hear that... But you 100% sure that its fake ? did you factory reset it once before use ? coz everything else its pretty perfect did you check camera before buy like selected focus n hdr ??
That's a legit looking fake man. Few minor appearances should've given it away. Software was a dead giveaway that if was fake. Sorry you got scammed. It sucks there are some scum in this world

No man, I just thought I got a good deal lol. 325 is still a lot of money for a stolen/fake phone. I have gotten good deals like that in the past before, and have met ppl in a parking lot, so this wasn't very off to me. But I think I probably will call them tomorrow.

Ya, you can tell just from the CPU-ID pictures I have there, the processor isn't the real one and theres only 2GB of usable memory...100% fake. Also the outside cosmetics are off. I wish I had researched this before I bought it. Stupid me. And no I didn't check the camera, I was actually in a rush to leave cuz it was 96 degrees out here today and I was sweating balls lolz. Next time I'll meet people in a starbucks or something and take time to look over what I'm buying
For me the first thing that popped was the led flash. In every fake cell phone it has that look/texture whereas in original phones it has a totally different look. For the author of this thread, this is something to be learned. Even if the phone is sealed in a box, open it, check it, look carefully at the exterior and then look in the phone info. If the seller does not want you to open the box simply pass, there are enough phones out there.

I just took a look at the home button and it is black, from the outside it does look remarkably well done! But I would never buy on a parking lot, that is always fishy, no matter where you are from.

Well lesson learned. Be glad it's only for $325. Please call the police and see if they can do anything. Thanks BTW, I just downloaded CPU-Z, nice app, everyone should use it when buying any used phone.
Damn that sucks bad man. I never buy on craigslist, I only sell. I feel for you buddy. Lesson learned for all of us.

hi everyone
I need to have this phone desperately. They said it will be released on April 16. However, it still not available. If anybody knows where can I buy this phone online please post the websites. I want the global 64GB version EVA-L29
I ordered the Chinese version from aliexpress - could not find global version anywhere. Waiting for it to arrive.

Be careful when buying phones from China. Onnce I had purchased a lenovo phone from aliexpress and hate it. There was tons of bloatware, Chinese fonts all over, Google apps are missing and I couldn't update the phone. I ended it up selling it for much lower price. Lesson learned

I tried to research as much as possible and asked the seller many questions. I was assured that it would support Huawei updates and google services. I am aware there is some risk though - I just got too impatient [emoji2]

I would like to purchase the 64gb/4gb ram version as well. Does any of you know why isn't it available in Europe, precisely NL ?
I was looking at this seller as well. If you get the time post an update to let us know if you like the quality of it
My P9 from a shop on aliexpress just came yesterday... and oh yes, it is pretty awesome! Going to use it a couple days and plan on doing a extensive comparison review to my LG G5 in my series of review called "Some Guy's Review..." I did one comparing LG G5 to the S7 Edge and people seemed to appreciate it... I have no brand loyalty so it a pretty honest review IMO
I try to sum up the general user / pro-user experience... what most people run into and care about.... plus stuff I always look for that are my "musts" for things I do in my daily life...
Not getting deeply into it, here's a quick 12-hour impression:
1. Design - It's a pretty phone, I got mine in Gold because the 64GB / 4GB only comes in Gold in China (EVA-AL10 Version is Chinese Version of EVA-L29 International Dual SIM). Let's say a Sony Xperia Z5 and an Iphone had a wild sexual encounter.... the result is a Huawei P9 (Basically an all metal Z5)
2. Snappiness - This phone rocks... didn't slow down even during setup... have yet to notice it heat up either! Have to put it through my grueling non-scientific testing of playing Clash Royale... hahaha. Really though, I won't do a AnTuTu or anything like that because those tests are pretty much meaningless to real world experience usage. Hope to have more later
3. Camera - have yet to take a "real" picture with it... tried it out, seems to have a lot of custom settings and a really good "pro" mode. more to come
4. Battery - seems spot on to all recent Huawei Phones, big, long lasting (that's what she said.... )
5. EMUI - I am actually a fan of EMUI... especially with another launcher laid over (I use a HTC Sense Launcher Port). The amount of customization may annoy the regular user... but coming from having a Huawei Mate 8, I understand what you need to do to get everything working like you like. I will give more details later if it suffers from the "sleeping sickness" as I call it... this is where due to all the great battery customizations Huawei throws in, certain app notifications stop working after awhile because the app goes into hibernation and never comes out... time will only tell.
Look for a review probably Monday or Tuesday! I may even do a 3-way just for fun....!!! (3-way review... get your mind out of the gutter... hahaha)

Mind you its in the hard case that has little "beady" texture on the inside... here's 2 pics... it definitely looks high end and not cheap, feels substantial in hand and solidly built

Personally I wanted the darker gray version... and originally was going to get a P9 Plus... but when it was going to take about a 1/2 of month until it releases... I had them switch it to a regular P9.... of course, now I have to try to get a refund for the difference which they agreed to... but will be interesting to see if they give it.... :good:
Some phone sites had the white one to review... which is white ceramic and not metal... and many said that it "felt" cheap...
There is no way one could think this phone is cheap... like I said, it's like the design (rectangle) of a Z5, but thinner and made of metal..
Nice. I had the Z2 a few years back and like the 'slab' design and square feel.
Did you have to install google contact and calendar sync from the Huawei store or did all that stuff work out of the box?

they had it installed but call me crazy that I like to factory reset and put it on myself... especially a phone, from CHINA, that I may put my credit card and passwords into... just sayin'.. :laugh:
It's pretty easy... use HiAPP to search google... install store, then install everything else from the store... calendar sync worked immediately... had to install contact sync apk from apkmirror... then I installed the google dialer... its not all that difficult. I can confirm no NFC, at least not anywhere I have found it... doesn't really matter since Android Pay won't work anyway....

Posted my review here if interested
http://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/how-to/huawei-p9-vs-tmobile-lg-g5-vs-tmobile-t3365349
This Chinese version come with original ROM or Modified by vendor? Thanks.
Could You tell us that dual sim in this model is active or not? You can talk from sim1 and receive calls from sim2?
Hey guys, I saw on a YouTube unboxing that you get a 5€\$ promo code with the phone,so my question is, can we trade it? After I bought the phone, and I receive it, I will give you back mine. The reason that why is important to me, I have ~140000huf in my bank account, and the phone costs around 141000huf. So with that coupon, I can lower it to around 139500, So I can buy it, and I don't have to worry about getting the phone sold out, because the waiting time is already increased to 5 weeks. Thanks in advance, and I hope you can understand my poor English.
I would like to see that video. I've had 2 OPO an OP3 and now an OP3T (OP3 and OP3T were bought almost exactly at release) and I've never seen anything like that included in my stuff.

Thank you very much
Okay I haven't seen a thread for this yet I don't know anyone in person other than myself with this phone so can't just go ask a friend I'm sorry if there has been a thread for this already if so I searched and could not find it. So I bought my 3t it's been about a week and I'm really liking it. But I got a little curious about if the hardware is really what they claimed it to be in the 3t so I used cpu-z to check the hardware info. And it says I have the snapdragon 821 which is what's supposed to be in the 3t and I got the 128gb version which is also 3t exclusive and that is the correct storage that my phone says it has. Then I decided to check the battery tab to see if it's the 3400mah battery which to my disappointment it was not what was displayed. It says my battery is 3000mah which is what the original 3 has in it. Here are screenshots. If anyone else with a 3t could check this on their device and let me know it would be a great help. I've already contacted oneplus and started a dispute on this. I Googled the number cause I didn't know it off hand and I noticed it's an 858 are code which is San Diego county and also just a few minutes from where I live cause I live in the San Diego county so asked where the office is located and they said they can't tell me which is very shady in my opinion. Any insight and screenshots from others would be a great help. Only users with a 3t though please as this is hardware issue that relates to only the 3t sorry 3 users nothing against you. Sorry of there is already a thread for this if so please fell free to delete and if you don't mind pointing me in the right direction that would be appreciated. Thanks in advance everyone.
no mine is showing a 3400 mah battery
Says 3400 on mine too

But I got a little curious about if the hardware is really what they claimed it to be in the 3t so I used cpu-z to check the hardware info. And it says I have the snapdragon 821 which is what's supposed to be in the 3t and I got the 128gb version which is also 3t exclusive and that is the correct storage that my phone says it has. Then I decided to check the battery tab to see if it's the 3400mah battery which to my disappointment it was not what was displayed. It says my battery is 3000mah which is what the original 3 has in it. Here are screenshots. If anyone else with a 3t could check this on their device and let me know it would be a great help. I've already contacted oneplus and started a dispute on this. I Googled the number cause I didn't know it off hand and I noticed it's an 858 are code which is San Diego county and also just a few minutes from where I live cause I live in the San Diego county so asked where the office is located and they said they can't tell me which is very shady in my opinion. Any insight and screenshots from others would be a great help. Only users with a 3t though please as this is hardware issue that relates to only the 3t sorry 3 users nothing against you. Sorry of there is already a thread for this if so please fell free to delete and if you don't mind pointing me in the right direction that would be appreciated. Thanks in advance everyone.

Make sure that you are using the latest cpu-z version, they fixed the battery reading for the 3T. It could also be the rom that you are running, on RR it also shows 3400mah for me.
I got cpu-z straight from the play store so it's definitely that latest version. And I am using the RR rom and I'm still getting this 3000mah displayed. So it know sound like I've been scammed and did not get the device I paid for. I'm so pissed now.

Well I don't know if it changes anything but RR is a custom rom unified for 3 and 3t and cpu z can confuse because of software
First flash the stock rom and then install cpu z and then check
That's weird. Check this out
ive been looking around online and i already knew this information. the metal back of 3t the is supposed to be noticeably darker than the back of the original 3 and the color on the back of my "supposedly 3t" actually looks like the color of the 3. im starting to think i got scammed and am quickly losing trust in oneplus altogether.

These two devices do not share the same model number like is being claimed everywhere. I specifically asked one plus about this when I called them. They assured that they are separate model numbers for each device.

Try downloading the aida64 app, it has always shown 3400mah under the battery category for me no matter what rom I run.
Thread cleaned,
If you cant post your opinion in a respectful manner then dont post at all. Flaming and disrespectful comments will not be tolerated her on XDA. You've been warned.

o.o isnt the device just more impressive if it has really good battery life but a smaller battery? Thus worth more money? I mean look at the pixel phones >.>
or the M8 phone
or the m9...
or the samsung s series...
or the iphone...
i think the points been made. The smaller the battery the more expensive the phone >.> so we got a bargain if thats the case!
Please try another diagnostic apps first such as AIDA64 before you claimed that OnePlus has scammed you.

I got my 3T a few weeks ago. And I have changing ROMs since then.. I do remember somewhere in between I did notice my battery to show up as 3000 mah. However, at that point I was anyways planning on doing a clean flash of RR Rom. So I went ahead with that and then on checking CPU-Z my battery shows 3400 mah now.
I'm running stock oxygen os on OnePlus 3t 128gb having same issue. Snapdragon 821 with 3000mAh battery with CPU-Z
Are there any other ways to check your battery size?
Edit: Did some googling, tried different app, shows 3400mAh. Tried dialing *#808# and scrolled down to charger and got 3400mAh looks like it may be an issue with the way OnePlus chose it's model numbers. Model A3000 doesn't only correspond to the 3t series of phones.
Hello guys!
I hope everyone is going great here..
Ok, to the point, I'm looking to buy a 'new' phone and I was wondering if buying a Motorola Nexus 6 would be a good idea even after 3 years of its release.
Phone status: refurbished
Website: Aliexpress.com
Prince: ~$200 USD
Maybe anyone has bought one around this time and can guide me through this process, or if someone thinks I should look for another device please tell me.
Please have a great day, thanks guys!

I wonder if 'refurbished' means a new battery inside.
Probably not.
A good phone with a 3 year old battery.
For the price you mentioned, I would prefer a cheap phone with a new battery.

You should be able to find one alot cheaper then that on eBay or Amazon etc.
I find the Nexus 6 great for my use.
I generally have a bad feeling about refurbished items. I much prefer buying used things locally, directly from the previous owner.
And as mentioned, you'll have to replace the battery at some point. Mine is still reasonable, but 3 years are a lot for a battery.

I just upgraded from Hammerhead to Shamu a few months ago. I got a refurbished Nexus 6 on eBay for $200. The device I received was in great condition and I have had zero issues with it. The specs on the Nexus 6 are still good even with newer devices being released. The developer support for Shamu is still active and progressive. I would recommend this device to anyone who knows how to properly use a good phone.
Bought two N6 a year and three months ago, batteries are doing great. AMAZON prime.

It is still a great device. I have brought my N6 back from semi retirement and haven't skipped a beat. $200 is a decent price if the phone is in MINT condition and if it is 64GB. Check for screen burn. Also look at ebay. You might get a 64GB one for $165 or so. YMMV!
Its still very speedy and the display is very beautiful, doesn't feel like a 3 year old phone at all!

The only drawback I have seen is its only a 32bit phone. Watching a movie or youtube with speakers on each side is really good. I will definitely keep one as a spare.

I did it. Moved from a Nexus 4. I cant be more happier. Amazon refurb, looks like new to me, like one send back because "too big" or something
Hope you enjoy it! Still loving mine. Had it since first day. Only time I ever did that ?

The Nexus 6 is still very capable. I think it runs better than Nexus 5x

Bought ours off Amazon prime about a year and a half ago. They say because its so old...cannot sell as "new". Both had factory seals and had never been opened. Its been all good ever since. Its a tough little device.

Pros:
Great multimedia device
speakers
still quite speedy with the right ROM
rear camera does well in low light due to ois compared to cheaper phones
Cons:
Google's os updates are done
Developer interest is waning as everyone moves to 64bit architecture
Screen is not the best AMOLED but isn't bad either (whites are a problem)
the charging port destroys cables
Front camera is just plain horrendous (would matter if you are fan of selfish or whatever it's called )
The power button is wobbly on my refurbished unit
Rear camera has some serious noise issues
Found the dac incapable of handling my higher impedance sennheisers ( my 1+1 pumps out more volume)

The micro usb cables i've used with my nexus 6 start to loosen on the micro usb side i.e. The two pins that have spring action just get depressed and never return? I've used the same cable (identical both were part of the same package high quality steel braided yada yada yda) with my oneplus one and its still pristine. My friend with a nexus 6 also has this happening to his cables. Very minor problem charging and sync still fine. I just like to share even the little incoveniences. Probably not a very prevalent issue either.
Development of roms has definitely stalled these days thats a bigger problem.
