Hi, I recently bought an Omnia 2 since i was told by the seller, that I can put a sim card in it, though after receiving it, it was the Omnia i920 which was CDMA and did not have any sim slot. I can exchange it with the LG VS750, or perhaps return it. I am not too sure, since it has a lower camera and a smaller screen. Please let me know if you guys think I should do this exchange and if it would work with the fido network or if I should return it ($120) and buy a different phone in that price range.
Also was wondering if I can get custom themes, or android (or win 7) on the LG VS750 since there's alot of roms for the omnia 2. If anyone has these phones, please let me know. Thanks.
Ya I know, my price range is kind of low, but that's all I have to spend on a phone need the rest for uni books .
please let me know what you guys think of each phone or if you have another smartphone option in my price range ($120 or so). My last phone was a nokia 5200, so any smart phone is an upgrade .

I would like to says thanks to clubtech for link to purchase unbranded 3G tab 7.0 plus. Also thanks to xda for our own section here.
Just got my tracking number, I super excited, but I know to be cautious with AT&T data. Has anyone tried popping their AT&T SIM into one of these. I currently have grandfathered unlimited smartphone ( not iphone ) data. Currently I have a Dell Streak 7 4G, and I havent gotten any notices/ had any problems. So Im -hoping- I can just pop in my AT&T SIM with voice and smartphone unlimited and I'll be good to go as this model Im expecting is unlocked. I would be uber stoked!
Anyone have any suggestions to be stealthy and avoid getting bagged?
anyone tried a similar setup in USA with this device?
.... just want to be "safe" as possible. Thank You guys, Im sure I wil be very active in the forums when my device gets running.

Would you mind sharing this link or post a reply to my post about it ?

sure, here: http://www.ipmart.com/main/product/Samsung,P6200,Galaxy,Tab,7,0,Plus,333168.php?prod=333168
enjoy.
Im hoping I'll go undetected by AT&T as there are still some 1st gen gtab users with voice and unlimited smartphone data , correct??
Thanks, coincidentally it's the same company I had found a couple of days ago. I even contacted them ( and they promptly replied to my questions ) asking a couple of questions.
Did u receive your tab yet ? What shipping method did U use ? Did you have any problem with custom , clearing it ? Did you have to pay any custom duty ? This was my bigger concern since the item is coming from Malaysia. In the past I've bought several things from China, Hong Kong and never had a custom problem. But never bought anything from Malaysia. This is copy of their correspondence :

As for AT&T, I do not live in the USA but I am there often. And I've always used a GoPhone SIM card. I even use it in the old Galaxy Tab 7 , that I bought from AT&T and promptly flashed with an European Rom, and unlocked , so I could use it as a phone. I buy Pay as you go data packages.

edit : I noticed that you just got your tracking number, so I guess you have not received the tab yet.
When u get it, could u pls test if it will work on tmobile? The frequencys listed on the ipmart site doesn't seem like it supports there frequency =\ thx.

got mine.. used FedEx and it was here in 3 days.. No customs issues at all.
It will not work now t-mobile because the frequencies are not compatible. I am using mine on at&t and it works well as my area has 1900mhz coverage.
Fyi they are shipping the white model, not the black model as shown not their website.

3 days.. you lucky son of a gun.. j/k . I was thinking they might ship white, oh well I got a black carbon fiber skin that should take of that , so voice and data are working good on AT&T. I neeeeed this thing, groove ip and sipdroid on my dell streak 7 are flaky. what kind of download speeds you got clubtech? Im in hartford CT and in good areas, im getting 7-nearly 8 mpbs down on dell streak 7, normally around 4 or so.
mine just completed through customs whew had me nervous for a while.. im using DHL.
Hmmm, I'd love to get a white model. Thanks for the feedback, I'll order mine shortly. As you can see from the Ip mart reply they claim that they do not have the white model ........... I guess the guy answering the messages does not really know :

They are probably not aware of the color as it is being sent from a 3rd party. I definitely got the white version.. I wanted the black one but the white one will do as well.

Took a chance and placed my order. I hope mine gets here with no problems.
So I just switched from Sprint to T-Mobile and am very happy. I like the fact that I have a sim card and can switch it from hone to phone. I have the Samsung Exhibit II 4G and like the phone. My question is there any "rugged" phones out there that would work for T-Mobile? I also am interested in a "Rugged" flip phone that will do Phone/SMS so that if I am going to some place that might be real hard on a phone, I can put my sim in it and sill have phone and texting. I know Sanyo makes a nice small flip phone that is rugged, but I don't think it uses a sim card.
So what "Specs" am I looking for when seeing if the phone will work on T-Mobile?

I'd recommend the Motorola defy. I had one when I was with T-Mobile. I planned on going back to tmo and getting one for the same reason you want to. Overall its a great little phone.

I have just bought my LG G Pro 2 off eBay for £320 from a UK stocked supply so hopefully will be getting it tomorrow. I am on the Three network so 4G should work fine, although the 800 band 4G won't be supported when they roll it out in the rural areas, but I don't mind that. I currently have an iPhone 5S and iPad, and having previously had all android devices I have just never been able to get into the Apple products, I think they are way over rated, so the iPhone and iPad I have are going on eBay next week, and this LG G Pro 2 will be a compromise over having 2 different devices ). I have read so many positive things about the G Pro 2 and they aren't loaded with stupid technology you don't need, and they are cheaper than Samsung phones. I was looking at the Sony Z Ultra as they are selling them for £250 on Expansys, but I felt it was too big, and many reviewers said the screen wasn't bright enough and the battery isn't removable. So what are your opinions for those of you who already have this phone?

Congratulations on your purchase. You're going to love this phone. The screen might be on the bigger side but I find it perfect for reading on the go and playing games. The minimal bezels and the amazing battery life are such a treat to have. and it has a much slimmer profile than I had expected. All the best for using the phone. Do feel free to reach out to the community if you have any queries or issues :good:

Hi there everyone the phone arrived today, am very impressed, I think the screen is better than my iPhone 5s which is going on eBay next week lol. It blows my iPad air out of the water too, I have always been disappointed with the display on the iPad air. It reminds me of a TN panel on a budget laptop.
I can see this LG G Pro 2 serving me well, its easy to use and I love the UI, which am surprised about as I normally like vanilla stock android. It just seems to work. I can't believe LG hasn't released this phone in the UK. I think it would do very well as far as phablets go. I'll update more as the day goes on.
I haven't seen any FM radio by the way. If you have unlimited data plan just stream it on one of the many radio streaming sites.

After edit my build.prop swipe is working fine with the LG G3 keyboard. Also G2tweakbox xposed addon works really well on our D838.

Hello all
Does any of you know about the availability of the D837 version in Europe (particularly UK) all I can see on eBay is the D838. My concern is that the D838 only supports 1800 / 2600 on 4G. I am with "Three Mobile" which as I understand mainly uses 800. I can see that the D837 has better frequency support on 2G and 4G which is more useful to me as Three user and also because I travel quite often.
I don't have much information about the F350 model but I can see on eBay being sold from Korea or China (I rather buy from a UK seller), does any one know which frequencies this version supports.
And the last question to the OP (or anyone in a similar situation). I can see that you have bought the D837 and using Three mobile, have you had any issues so far, how does the 4G performs?
Your help would be much appreciated.
LTE bands
I have the F350s, and in the hidden service menu you can choose other LTE bands, and other GSM frequency's then what is listed in the phone spec. For example I'm in the the US on AT&T and LTE band 17 is a option and works great.
this phone is a hidden gem....
I've had my LG G Pro 2 32GB for a couple of months now, it's the best phone I've had since my Sony Xperia Z Ultra 16GB. But now it's time to move on to another device so put it up for sale. It's a shame LG messed up the D83810F update, looking forward to G Pro 3 if LG bother with it.

D837 is rare. i wanted to buy one in HK (the seller advertised it) but it was just a sales tactic to get people in the door. most phones from here will be the F350 or D838.
i use GiffGaff in the UK which is on the O2 network so i'll be on 3G when I come over later this month.
While 3 does use some 800MHz, the official line from them is your device needs to support 1800MHz.

You cannot use it on Verizon. Verizon is a CDMA carrier. The only way it will work on Verizon would be data / LTE only. No calls/sms. In the USA that phone will only work on AT&T/T-Mobile or any other GSM carrier.

That sucks :/. If your willing to sign a 2 year contract BestBuy has most of the new samsungs for $1 Also if your willing to add a line and keep it for at least 3 months you get $300 off if you trade in a phone. I recently got two G4s by adding lines ending up making $100 lol.
I love the G4. I cannot say about the V10. I don't like the upper screen personally I don't think it's useful. But the v10 is a great phone though.

Hey guys and gals, not really new here just don't post very much, but I've gotten myself in a predicament. I recently bought a SM-G930T off of Craigslist but it is already factory unlocked so I could use it on Metro PCS. The thing about it is it is a 64GB phone which I know wasn't released in the United States yet. So I called Metro PCS to get the phone activated and the phone has a contract under it so I cannot use it. Does anyone know where my phone is from? It has the Snapdragon 820 CPU according to CPU-Z. Just trying to figure out what I can do with this thing instead of using it as a Galaxy S7 Touch
Thanks in advance,

Was probably stolen bro
Few things you can do: check the IMEI at Swappa's ESN check: see if the phone is A) not a fake B) not stolen/blacklisted.
If the phone isn't stolen/blacklisted, you could try to get a sim card and put it in.
How is there a contract on an unreleased phone?
You sure this phone is an international 64GB version of our phone in the US? not sure even China or the other places have our processor and 64GB of ram

I think he has an international version (most likely) or a clone. I sold my htc 10 to some dude and the reason he bought my phone was because he said it's really slow and imei changed. So at a glance, the phone was identical to my S7. The biggest difference was obviously the display and it's brightness, also it's somewhat more laggy than the s7 already is. And lastly the fingerprint didn't work AND didn't even see it on the settings. I can see how an average dude can get tricked but even I couldn't believe my eyes, I switch phones about 6-7 times a year and this is by far the best clone I've seen.
Why don't you try using a tmobile sim card? Isn't metro cdma under tmobile's network? just try to convince them and threaten to leave then lol
