Hello...it's been a long drawn out drama...long story short as can be...I purchased from eBay an unlocked, non-branded GT-P1000 tablet. Shipper said she was from London. Phone came from Slovenia. The phone had apps like the free movie downloads, free ebooks, free music, whsmith ebook reader, etc. But, it also had unreadable unusable Korean apps...so I tried Odin and messed up my tablet. I ordered another one..GT-P1000 from Simply Electronics, as they are listed as being in the U.K. Phone shipped from Hong Kong and was in Original Chinese language. It did have English option...but also had Korean apps. So, I sent both back to the official Samsung Repair Centre...after many, many calls($150.00 for one call) emails, bad customer service...I got them back. I told them I just wanted them to be flashed to the original U.K. English version with the official Samsung apps. Now, the tablets(I bought them there because I wanted to be able to data/phone on one device. The version they flashed them to are even different than what was on them to begin with. And, the firmwares listed are not found on any sites. I now have both flashed to Overcome...but would love to have my original apps that came with the free $200.00 offer that they offered for the movies, music, games, ebooks. Thank you so much....I have a rooted EVO and gTablet and since I just got my tablets back, haven't had a chance to try out too much and now I see that AT&T and T-Mobile are blocking data/phone usage at the same time. Also, when connected to KIES, I can't remember which, but one listed the firmware and it said it was up to date, the other listed the firmware and said that it this version is not updatable. Weird.
My firmware listed from the eBay U.K. version is: P1000XXJMF
My firmware listed from the Simply Electronics version is: P1000ZHKC1
Many thanks in advance for your help and advice...have a great day!
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
I am in the UK and am considering getting a dual sim (the L29 variant) of the Huawei P20 Pro.
Do you know of any store that sells the dual sim version (sim-free, unlocked), and that would ship to the UK? A reputable foreign store that would ship to the UK would be OK, too (but if from outside the EU, I must make sure that VAT and custom duties don't end up costing too much).
The only UK online store I have found is www.clove.co.uk , which is out of stock at the moment.
I understand Three UK sells the dual sim, but the Three signal is too unreliable where I live.
EE, Vodafone and Carphone Warehouse don’t sell the dual sim (I asked their chat tech support).
I have found some supposedly UK-based vendors in the UK, that sell at £690 vs Clove’s £790. It seems like a good price, but maybe too good to be true? I’d think a reputable store would give me more peace of mind.
Amazon UK lists two external vendors which sell at the same price as clove, but some user reviews mention the box was opened and the phone covered in fingerprints (used phone? Customs inspection? A return?).
Thanks!
I bought mine from Amazon France. Got fed up of looking for it in the UK
Wondamobile. Com
Thank you, guys.
@qwerty1q, have you tried wondamobile? Does the price really include VAT and custom fees, as they say? You don't think buying from a UK store like clove is worth the extra £100 or so?
@dreamWille, do you remember if you bought it directly from Amazon France or from a third-party vendor listed there? Searching Amazon France now, I get a vendor that has an address listed in Spain.
Thank you, guys.

Bought my Mate 8 from them 2-3 years ago, no problems.

I always buy directly from Amazon because of warranty purposes.
Check all the Amazon sites (Germany, Spain's, France etc)
One of them should have it in stock
Currently have a note 8 duos, have someone willing to trade for a p20 pro single sim. Worth the trade? Honest opinions?
Model CLT-L04, what is the difference in models?

Don't hijack other people's discussions. Asking a question by opening a separate thread would be better. Also bear in mind you're more likely to hear pro-Huawei opinions on Huawei forums, and pro-Samsung opinion on Samsung forums, because, clearly, each forum will be more populated by people who have chosen that brand

Common sense, as well as explicit rules in most forums, suggest it is frowned upon to hijack discussions and bring them off topic. If this is not true of XDA, I apologise because I didn't know. I still dare question, however, what the benefit is of reading a discussion about where to buy an item to then find messages about how that item compares with another one.
Think you'd be lucky from a contract perspective.
SIM free maybe.
Try uSwitch they've got some nuts deals.
Or just buy my Oneplus 5 off me
Coming from OnePlus, where simlocks aren't really a thing (i think? At least not in Germany?) I am now thinking about getting an used oppo find x3 pro. Are there simlocked versions that I should be aware of when browsing listings?
You should ask the seller where he's got his phone from. If the phone is from Telekom or Vodefone (O2 aka Telefonica I don't know), you can assume that the phone has SIM lock! Ask the seller or vendor before buying.
Hello everyone,
I was considering to buy the Axon M because I like foldable phones (the samsung fold is way too expensive so I chose this one) and I'd like to have one for watching Youtube, browsing the internet and some gaming. I have found sites offering this phone for 300€ (I'm not sure if that's a good deal, but I can't find it for a cheaper price) saying it's from Europe. The problem is: I've heard there has never been an european version.
Does anyone know if it works in Europe even if it might be from somewhere else? And where is the Android 8 update? I know it exists but no site has talked about it.
