Anyone else get an email saying order was delayed and given a $50 credit for future purchases? Wtf? USA....mystic black...AT&T
would help if you list your model and variant and what country.
I know off topic, but I will never buy an AT&T version of any phone again. They remove crap. On my sisters Note 20 Ultra, they removed the option to sync up with her new Tab S7.
I got an email saying it would be delayed for more than 30 days yet it shipped the same day

Ok...I know that they are going to be announcing the note 10.1 inch in about less than a week...but my question is, lets say they announce it next week , so when will it be available for preorder or at least in stores? I just want to make sure I'm not waiting in vain because I really want to get a tablet this month if possible...any advice ...I don't know how samsung does it..does it announce and within 2 weeks have it or do they announce and then months later we can get it???
Really Never Know For sure
The usual time frame is 2 to 4 months, if lucky. If Note 10.1 is to also be a phone, don't expect this unit to be released in America by Verizon, ATT, etc, won't approve a tablet/phone. I would also buy, but would go the way of how I bought my Note and Tab 7.7, buy the international version, costs more, but fully functional, and available several months or more before America, at least that is how this has worked in the past.
I hope I am wrong.
how do u find the international version? and why do they always get it first??!!
Numerous Reasons
Ask Samsung........seriously, depending upon product, the U.S. is usually late in getting. the Tab 7 Plus U.S. was first, but the Tab 7.7, and Note, I got international version months before available in the states, I got my Note on 10/29, just now available at ATT last Sunday, 2/19. The Tab 7.7 I got Jan. 5 of this year, still not available in the States, but Verizon is to have when it is, but no phone capabilities. It will have 4G LTE though. If and when Note 10.1 is available, unless the major U.S. telecom's change their policy, (they won't), the Note 10.1, if it has phone capabilities, phone won't be available in the U.S., so another reason to get an international version.
I have found the best vendor to be able to supply and in the U.S. is Negri Electronics. I have found this company to be trustworthy, very reliable, and ships when they say they will. I am guessing, only a guess, that if and when a Note 10.1 is available, we can get thru Negri as fast, or faster than most any other source. Yes, it may be in a foreign language, but that takes 30 seconds to remedy in settings. The Note was in German, and the Tab 7.7 was in Chinese. Once you change language in settings, then all is as expected. I can't say enough good things about Negri Electronics.
Long time lurker here.
I've been trying desperately to find the international version of the Note 5 (N920i) for a few weeks now. I was about ready to buy one on eBay but hesitated until I knew it was compatible with AT&T, then it seems that all the listings for the 64gb version of the phone disappeared.
I've looked on Amazon and Newegg for options, but no sellers are offering the 64gb variant of the phone (preferably black). There is one listing on Amazon, but it will be a cold day in hell before I drop $1,200 on a device that I will probably upgrade in ~18 months. Some website called World Wide Voltage offers one, but there are too many complaints about them taking orders for items that have no stock.
Does anyone here know of any reputable importers/resellers that I could go through?
Hi,
you can use only reliable online shops that may be (Telco).Many Australians have taken to purchasing handsets outright from online vendors sourcing stock from overseas.A parallel importer often means you you can choose phones which may not be available locally, at all or until later in the year.
I got mine from www.t-dimension.com. Bought from them twice, got my phone within 3 days from HK to Australia.
Hey, I want to buy 64gb version, but I dont find any on Ebay.. just the 9208 ... Only carriers version are available? I'm from ARgentina, but I have a friend in USA that will send it to me so...
Hello,
Just wondering if anyone know if any UK providers (o2 ideally as that's who I have my OP3 with) will be stocking the OP5 from launch on contract? Not due for an upgrade but would happily cover the £300 left on my device plan to pick up the OP5.
o2 won't confirm anything but hoping there could be an inside-man (or woman) with some knowledge.
Thanks
No doubt o2 will stock it again since no one else has picked up the 3T

I work for O2 as one of their instore technicians also have a Oneplus3, got it via oneplus.net before o2 announced the partnership and there is no news yet about anything related to Oneplus 5 probably due to the phone not being announced yet. Remember companies sign non disclosure agreements so it isn't exactly encouraged to talk about things not even announced to exist yet.
Cheers for the replies.
I spoke to LiveChat again today just to ask a question regarding pre-ordering the device once its announced (So I pay off the device plan and get the new OP5) and the reply I was given basically said when the device is announced on the site there will be instructions on how existing customers can pre-book the upcoming device.
From that it sounds like O2 are taking on the OP5 from launch!
Did any of you guys get your bundle gift yet? its been a month since i paid and i've gotten no updates from them
Got the bundle come with the phone. Poor you then.
I ordered directly from samsung.com
I ordered online from metropcs. And I'm still Waiting. Sounds like I won't get it till like middle of July
Got mine too.
I received mine a week and a half after I submitted mine. I was surprised it arrived that quick as I have had to wait for months, in the past when getting Samsung's gifts

can you share the info privately to unlock the t-mobile phone.
As per title, where is the new Note 8 Unlocked UK update? I'm still on August security patch when UK carrier specific networks started to get December update on the 10th December. It's now the end of 17th December... Have we been forgotten about do you think? lol... My S8+ was great running Oreo Beta 2 so this Note 8 seems a bit backward...
Reason I ask is because I am hoping this update fixes an issue I am having with notifications not coming through most of the time, I've checked and altered any battery optimisation and special access optimizations for certain apps but still no success so hoping the update triggers something to get this working like it should.
I have an unlocked still on august patch as well, my other one I got through Vodafone Ireland already got November patch and updates, wonder if they are leaving us waiting for Oreo on the international unlocked versions

But: you can flash "manually" with Odin:

This Is most definitely the case
This is annoying me big time, pretty piss poor by Samsung
I was just seeing if it was me that hadn't got the update. I'm still on August.
Meanwhile, the Note 5 is getting the December update...
Don't blame Samsung for that, but the UK operators -> THEY have to approve the FW first before it's rolling out to the devices!
The december update is available but still "on hold" for UK-devices (BTU & XEU)
BTU/XEU : 1AQI1 (August)
O2U : 1AQK9 (November)
EVR : 1AQK9 (November)
VOD : 1AQK9 (November)
H3G : 1AQK9 (November)
But: instead of complaining here, why not flash the latest FW yourself (2BQKG) with Odin?
BTU/XEU are the codes for the direct from Samsung models. They are operator free. So there is no approval from the operators needed. I personally think someone at Samsung just forgets to hit a publish button as they don't get an approval they don't need.
By any standard August is the only BTU available, and that's poor for a flagship with a company that promised monthly security updates.
Yeah still no update on the 23rd DEC, I did see EE UK only just got it on the 19th and that probably makes up the last in the UK to get it now... Flashing via Odin means fresh install dosnt it? I guess even if an OTA update dosnt resolve my notification issues, a fresh install probably would be the best bet anyway.
Wouldn't flashing my non-carrier device with a carrier specific 2BQKG firmware potentially riddle my device with carrier bloat? Better off waiting if thats the case! Anything new in 2BQKG over 1AQK9?
Just updated to 2BQKG via Odin without losing anything, wish I did this sooner!
I'm in UK on ee and the update came out today ota 46.87mb
Hi
I ve bought a Note 8 device unlocked as the seller said and when i got home i noticed that is blocked. When i check what provider is on i found BTU. So if can someone please help me what network provider i should contact?
Thanks a lot for your help and support
BTU is a generic code so it's not carrier assigned.
You need to contact the seller and get your money back as it will be impossible to find out why it was blocked in the first place.
P.S. If you're ever buying a second hand phone ask the seller for the IMEI before you part with any cash and check it online to see if it's blocked first. If the seller won't give you the IMEI then just walk away.
BTU
Hi
The seller blocked me and can t get in touch with him snymore. I think he has an insurance and report his phone lost. How can i find out which provider is on?

Or better still write down the IMEI number put your sim card in the phone and call your provider to have the device added to your account .
How many providers does your region have? Call all of them.

I called them up and none told me that they blocked the device. They said only the owner can unblock the phone. But as i said he blocked me on phone, whats app and Facebook. Is there any chance to find out who is the provider blocked the phone?
Thanks a lot for your help and support.

However the chances are you are using an unlocked UK/Ireland model which may have been bought from a retailer or Samsung direct and then insured via a third party insurer. The third party insurer would then request an IMEI block if the device was reported lost or stolen.
Sadly there is very little you can do as the device will likely be blocked from all networks in your country of residence, however there is a chance it could work outside of your country as other countries / carriers will have not blocked the IMEI.
Meaning you may be able to sell it on with the proviso / understanding the device is blocked in the UK or whatever country your currently residing.
How did you buy the device ? If you paid via PayPal or with a CC - you may be able to get a chargeback with your CC company if you report it as a fraudulent transaction (sold a dud device).

I bought it on Shpock from a private seller. Now i found that the T mobile blocked the IMEI because it was a illegally purchase and the seller knew it this. I paid by cash unfortunately. The device was blocked by t mobile since December 2017. And i bought it few days ago.
you obviously bought a stolen phone, lesson learnt for you, buy cheap... buy twice....HA... HAAA..
that said, you could probably recover a few quid from selling it on a Russian buy/sell website

So it was UK purchased. Looks like the networks share IMEI information. just sell it to the USA or mainland Europe, noting it's black listed in the UK. You should he able to get at least 60% of your money back. That is if it's really black listed and nothing else wrong with it .
