Im wanting to get my hands on a HTC tytn 2/kaiser. Does anyone know of a store chain in the UK that will allow me to have a play?
Ive seen various conflicting reports on the GPS chip too. Is it sirf3, or at least does it do a good as job as?
If anyone knows of any cheaper than £400 odd in the UK I would be greatful, although Im not going to buy one unless I get to try it first.
For those that have them and been using for a while, is there any issues I should know about? Ive read the petition about drivers for video etc, and thats not very encouraging.
Thanks in advance.
Ok,
So i just upgraded my phone from a Galaxy S5 to a Nexus 6p. With the GS5 i had a Samsung Gear S. Unfortunately, i couldn't get that watch to work with my new 6P, so i went and got the LG Urbane, used, for a pretty descent price. So far, the only thing i can't get to work is the built in "Find My Phone". When i tap on it, it just says "Couldn't ring your phone. To find your device, visit android.com/devicemanager. Unfortunately, i used this feature quite a bit on my GS5 / GearS combo (the built in version on the GearS). I've tried searching the forums, as well as google, but for the most part all i can seem to find when i search for "find my phone" seems to point to people having issues "pairing" the devices together. Has anyone come across this before?
Couple more quick questions (hopefully not breaking any rules)
1 - Looking to get a screen protector for the LG Urbane (i scratched up my Gear S pretty good and would like to keep this one in better shape). Any suggestions on a good one?
2- Replacement bands. I have the Stainless model of the watch and i'm wondering what it would look like with a metal link, gunmetal color band on it. Has any one seen one? Have a link?
3- Charging stand. I'd like to get (or make) a stand for the watch to sit on while it charges. I came across one (booq...maybe) but can't seem to find it now. Anyone know what i'm talking about? Links to others that are known to be a good product?
Thanks for your time!
I have the Urbane 2nd edition and the antenna is built into the top of the watch bands and you cant replace the band from what im hearing. second here is a few stands on ebay but amazon has it to. Oh and all these stands you have to use your own charger.

I have recently purchased a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 off of Swappa, but when I received it, it had the damned ddi: mmc read error problem that I have read up on and found is a hardware issue. My question is if anyone know a place to buy this phone that is new or at least refurbished by Samsung. Preferably the T-Mobile Carrier version because I want to keep an unlocked bootloader. Especially looking for people who ran into the same issue and were able to find a seller with a phone that didn't have aforementioned problems. I am just really unsure about places as I really want to have the Note 4, best Samsung device IMO, and hoping someone can help.
If Gazelle sells them, I would trust them. I'm just about to send my Note 4 back to tmobile for trade in. Not sure exactly what happens to those phones. My 4 is on excellent condition so they shouldn't have to do too much.. excepting I of course tripped Knox. Not sure what they do about that.

I know for a fact that tmobile sells refurbished note 4's for 400 bones
Should be a ton of them out there somewhere, along with spare parts, considering n5 was never released in Europe.

Hi I purchased last week from swappa. So far no problems and it includes a 30 day money back guarantee... Check out the seller MyteCell LLC. If they have any problem they will let you know. Response is very quick. Hope this helps

eBay? Many trusted sellers do that. Somewhere around 300 quite a few where there, Brand New.

There are at least two T-Mobile stores in the Atlanta area selling what they say are NEW Note 4s, one had them on display, the other said they had them in the back, but they weren't on display. Call a few in your area and ask.
I would only by one recertification with a warranty!

I just bought a T-Mobile version (they're Unlocked) with 32GB Internal Storage for about $300 Refurbed and it arrived like brand new. I got it on Amazon. I can provide you with a link if you'd like.

If you don't mind sending me a link, I'd like to check that out. By the way, was it packaged in original box or aftermarket? If not, it doesn't bother me, just curious.

I said that I sent you a PM (Private Message) with it (the link).
They usually don't like links to things like that right in the forum, so I PM'ed it. Go take a look at it.

Oh, wait, my bad, different person. Okay, I'm PMing it now.
Sorry!
I'm buying a note 4 today and its for sprint but its unlocked. I'm on Tmobile .
When I root and ROM it does the ROM need to be sprint ROMs or can it be Tmobile ROMs ? Or can I flash any ROM since its unlocked?
its been a minute since i flashed phones, especially samsungs. i have two tmobile S10's and i need to make an exact copy of one S10 over to the other. i remember doing something like this with an LG phone i had back in the day and i'm sure its possible to do it with the samsungs probably using odin? anyone can point me or give me a quick refresher on how to do it? i searched the forums but couldn't find exactly what i was looking for (user error most likely, sorry). both phones are stock Tmobile they do have different basebands (probably update one or the other should fix that). other than that they have the same software installed.
as a side question, would making a mirror image of one phone onto another save all the settings and everything? i'm pretty sure it would, but just in case. thanks!
Howdy, folks.
I've been an HTC owner for many years (Tilt, HD2, Inspire, M8 now a 10), but my HTC10 is showing it's age and they don't have much to offer me right now. So I'm thinking of a Samsung, One+ or Huawei phone. Your insight on a couple things would help.
How important is it to buy an unlocked phone? I've been an AT&T customer for over a decade and really don't have a reason to switch. However, I may have occasion to travel overseas in the near future - likely the EU somewhere.
Which rooting method is recommended, and what side effects does it have? I'm a noob to Samsung, though I've unlocked and rooted every HTC phone I've owned, and every time it's affected speaker volume and possibly other optimizations.
Is it better to get an International version or should I stick with a US version? I'm out of contract with AT&T for a long time, so I don't necessarily need to buy from them, I can source from any seller.
Can you recommend a good reseller? I'm looking for a first quality phone with warranty. But like everyone else, I'd like to find a deal. I'm a member at Costco, but should I be looking elsewhere, say to Amazon or others?
Thanks in advance for your help!
