They should put numbers on your plate stickers like they do here so that if someone steals it then it won't match the plate numbers when the police pull them over.. It's an arrestable offense here to have a sticker on your plate that don't match your plate number.

My sticker numbers aren't the same as my plates numbers but if a cop was to run the numbers from my sticker it would come back with my plate numbers in the computer.. I'm not sure why they use different numbers for the stickers and plates.. It seems like it would be easier to tell if it's on the right car if they both matched but since they don't match here that just equals more work because now the cop actually has to look in the computer to see if it's on the right car or not.

sprint unlocks the device once ure easy pay is up on it and u have fulfilled any monetary contracts
through a proscess called uicc unlock they do it for free
if u do not meet there requirements then u have to pay a outside service to do it
my T-mobile note5 has the device unlock app built in as bloatware. if your phone is paid off just open the built in app and it will unlock your phone.

it doesnt have 3g...there is a touch screen problem and battery is bad
Uhm, it's the UK version, why would he expect 3g unless he's on T-Mobile? Why doesn't he try a hard reset, if that doesn't work reflash to original ROM. I always buy two batteries when I get a new phone... Never know when I might need one.

Sorry.
Just as the title says, PLEASE HELP I ONLY HAVE 2 HOURS
My assumptions :
- Is the welcome screen can only show once you got it & we cannot see it again?
- When we open the case, it will leave traces ?
What do you know? How can I know that the Nexus 7 I want to buy is real? ( I want to buy it from another person, he said that he buy it from Lazada & want to sell it because he thought that it was 3g )
1 Thing to do is to check under settings, About and check all the software.
Chances are if its a fake device, it won't have standard software installed.
Check VERY Carefully, as fake software often mimicks the naming etc, but is slightly different.
Also, check all the outer body etc, to see if you can see any different things from what your used it, such as no logo etc?
Pop the back off like you said, check the internals to see if they match the Nexus 7 original.
Popping the back is fairly easy, and if done properly you wont be able to tell its been done.

Seems to be a real one. By judging the kernel version, date and the FCC things. Also you can try to unlock its bootloader.

Why would that have anything to do with not having a serial number? It comes on a tag on the device. If it is removed I would be suspicious that it is stolen.
That little sticker that's in the bottom? That was the first thing I took off when I opened it. I mean why would you put a SN on a sticker? That's no indicator if it were stolen.
Edit: I stick edit to the box, but yeah. If anyone else is like me and does not like superfluous stuck things in their devices, and they would have removed it too.

Second hand for a device like this is kinda shady to begin with. It being bogus is a risk you take regardless of anything considering its been used. serial numbers can be faked, especially stickers which can be taken off one and placed onto another. I left my sticker on just because....eventually it peeled off on its own so that shoots that idea down. You can very easily package a loaf of bread into a nexus box and until ya open it youll never know. best bet would be to make sure whatever service your using has an airtight return & buyer protection policy.
Honestly I don't think there are a lot of faked N7's(if any).It's not like you would buy beats headphones (cause there's a sh*t load of faked beats headphones).Faking tablets and phones is much "harder" and you would definitely figure out quickly if its faked or not mostly because they run outdated software.
Sorry for my bad english

Someone gets it. Yes, my sticker is still on my N7, primarily because there's no real reason to remove it and because it is in a case where the sticker is protected and not visible. I save the boxes that any of my gadgets come in until they are no longer under warranty. Sometimes even longer as resale is better on a device that is in the factory container. For a device this new I would be very wary of buying one used that the owner had disposed of the box and serial number sticker without much thought. At the least, it shows carelessness, at the worst, they could be trying to hide something.
OP seems suspicious to me.
cant quite tack it down, but something seems odd...
Google Gravity
A real N7 will bounce if you toss it on the ground real hard. Newer N7's have Google Gravity installed. Basically it has internal gyros and sensors that detect motion and reverse gravity in the event of a fall to prevent damage.
hahaha, I liked the last response better.
Ok so in the past I've always gotten refurb's and was instructed to just send the phone back. Well as we all know the Note 3 comes with a few accessories that are not required to be sent back "battery, backdoor, stylus".. Well I have had one replacement already and it was a refurb that came in the white box and I sent my old one back while retaining my old hardware, no biggie.. Well this time around they sent me a brand new phone (i called and *****ed about 4.4.2 and it's issues) but I'm kind of at a stalemate with the return process.. Do I keep the new battery, backdoor, charger, usb cable, and stylus and just send my old phone by itself back..? That is what the instructions say to do but that would leave me with 2 of everything, and I don't want to get billed for keeping that stuff, but I'd also like to have a backup of everything lol.. I think the instructions think I was sent a refurb but I'm just inquiring to see what others have done in this situation.. Thanks..!!

I used to have a conscience about this kinda stuff but I learned as I got older they have millions of the accessories and would just send you one for the heck of it, if you called and asked nicely. True story... I have done this a lot.

its a new security system for the nexus.. even if you wipe the phone 10x and then flash the factory image, it will still ask for the previous owners security, unless he removed it. if it is removed, then it would be fine. and if he didnt, and you got the phone, he can reset his password, but it will take 3 days before it becomes affected. this is for people that steal devices, to keep you safe.

Yeah I'll ask. But is there a setting on the phone that says removed or not? Just a way to verify other than him just telling me its removed?

You should meet up at the carrier store you're trying to activate it at and have someone at the store make sure everything is ok and it activates. Also if you buy things from Craiglist a lot, you should have a receipt book and have the seller sign it and take a picture of the license plate or write it down so you can file a police report if things go sideways.

doesnt matter though, branded or not, they are exactly the same phone. but verizon employees dont seem to think so, they think it differs(but doesnt). many will even say that you cant use the unbranded one on verizon, but you can

That's not how craigslist scammers screw you. They usually have it insured and once they sell it they report it lost or stolen and you lose your money.
