I recently saw a good deal on the NS locally and snapped one up as soon as I could, my understanding it that i was lucky to get an AMOLED version, and I'm really happy with it, i have been trying to identify my model and i cant seem to find out for sure.
According to the wiki all european models are "GT-I9023" but it also states that these models all have S-LCD displays, which cant be right?
Here is a link to what I have read: -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Samsung_Google_Nexus_S
It would make sense for my model to be the I9020T but my phone was purchased sim free and therefore has nothing to do with T-mobile.
Thanks guys!

If you look under your battery, the information you require will be there in black & white UK AMOLED version is GT-I9020/GSM (I9020T!)
Says its a I9020, must mean its a I9020T right?
I had to use a magnifying glass to read it :S

It also tells you in the little safety booklet supplied. I bought one last week

Why is there no Silver/Blue aluminium builds on the internet?
I can only seem to find the ceramic black MAO one. I dont want to get that version as i have seen various chipping issues surfacing on the internet.
Also does HTC replace the phone if it does chip? and is this with the standard warranty statement included or do i need the actual receipt ?
Edit: Im in the UK if that helps
read through the thread on 'micro oxidation' when it comes to chipping. Long story short, HTC admits this is a cosmetic problem and will not officially replace the phone under warranty, at least not anymore.
So my suggestion is if you want to risk it, buy it from a respectable retailer (ie: myphone,amazon,expansys etc) that have a specific policy when it comes to returns that if in 30 days you get a defect, you can return it.
i returned 3 phones and got refunded in the end from amazon(brilliant service) but i wont be buying htc anymore.

Thats why i want a silver one but cannot seem to find any on the internet. Any reason as to why this is ? (im in the uk)
Any of the U.S. T-mobile models will be Blue/Silver. People are listing them as "Black", but there are no Black U.S. One S's yet.

amazon has it for 480GBP sim free.
search for htc one s grey
interestingly enough the black now costs 370!!! instead of 415 that it was initially
I think HTC doenst have a exact colorname for the Grey/Blue one. In germany the shops call it metallic gray/grey. Price about 444€.

Official name is "gradient metal"
So why are there no 'gradient metal' versions on ebay ? I can only find out of uk sales for that version
i wouldnt buy a phone off ebay. no guarentees. Besides it may be that everyone is after a grey one since the black one is crap

They are available from the carriers.
I wanted to buy a carrier-free one and couldn't find one (although this was in the first week of release) hence purchasing from 3UK - I'm surprised they are still not available.
Handtec site says due in soon and taking preorders; exspansys the same. I'm guessing all the independant retailers decided the black would be more popular and are now left holding lots of black stock whilst the carriers went for both.
I have to say the 3UK bloatware isn't as bad as I expected and I'm glad I bought the phone despite really wanting it "vanilla"; there is no external branding. If you really do want the grey version then I'd suggest it's worth considering buying from the high street.
us customs
does any one have any idea for if ordering the phone from the UK(clove) to the US will charge me to pay duties(customes fee) when the device get to the US?
or does it get straight to the address?
Thanks

Hi guys, my question is simple. I am about to buy a Samsung Galaxy Nexus and I live in Pakistan. Over here, selling counterfeit stuff is what people over here just love to do. I don't wanna get ripped off and end up buying a fake Nexus the guy claims is real. So how would I check if the Nexus is genuine?
If you can see pixels on the screen, its most likely fake.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
The nexus has a capacitive screen.
See the touchscreen and check if its
resistive screen is made of plastic ( you can press the screen and it "dents" in or you can use your nail to operate the screen )
or its
capacitive screen is made of glass ( can sense multiple touches and does not "dent" in and the screen will only respond if you use your fingers and not a your nail or stylus)
Warranty. Fakers don't have it. And if the deal is too good, it's fake. Also, buy from somewhere like a mall or supermarket, where chances are lower its fake.
Sent from my U8150 using XDA
Fake always has sensitive screen and mostly slow but always loud speaker.
Anything that makes you doubt the quality in the slightest. Like they have said, screen quality, speaker quality...
Check the software information, kernel version, model number, basebamd version, build number, etc against known base roms that should be running on that model.
Chinese stuff very confusing.

Thanks for ur replies guys, I will check all of the things everyone has said. After a lot of Googling, I think I have found a fool proof check to see if its real. Please correct me if im wrong. The Samsung website registers your phones. If I try to register the Nexus with its imei number, If it registers, it is real, and if it doesn't then its fake. Correct?

Hi all,
I am looking to find out what the difference is between the EU and UK version of the note, with there being no stock of the grey note in the UK what effect would buying the EU version off Expansys. Are the difference noticeable, and is it likely that apps that are meant for the UK will not work? BBC I player, sky go(if its ever released) etc.
I have read that you can change the CSC to make it think it is a UK version, how easy is this to do nd does it void the warrenty having to flash a new rom onto it to change the CSC?
I have been putting off buying g the note to try get the grey one but starting to worry if its not released soon something new will be released and I'll just want to wait to get that so I'm now considering getting the white one. Not that I need to hear the pros and cons f white over grey, I've read the other posts
So buy EU version, by white UK version or continue waiting?
Thanks,
Steven

Can't help with changing it but I got fed up and bought the white, glad I did as it's my first tablet and cleaning the screen has become a OCD experiencet for me! Thankfully finger marks don't show up as easily on the white bezel. A nice cheap case but great quality (Poetic from Amazon £7.95) has made it a real joy to use.
If it helps, although I have a UK Note 10.1, earlier thus year I bought the EU note 5.3 from expansys. There is no difference in functionality of the device in the UK. Able to access all apps as usual from the market. With regard to updates, you get them when they are being rolled out in the country of the device's origin...that is unless you change the csc. On device set up, you may find initially that setup instructions are in the language of the device's country of origin. When phone is setup though, language automatically changes to English. I would expect no difference with an EU Note 10.1.

hi guys ok am not very clear with issue and i need clarification. Will an original screen+digitizer from the international version work on my at&t version? It is known that there is a difference of a few mm in terms of lenghth between the two models yet some people claimed that their replacements worked despite capacitive backlights not lighting up evenly........also does it matter whether to use either a replacement with green flex cable or yellow flex cable?
It is quite hard to find at&t OEM lcd but with the international there seems to a few genuine ones out there.
I really clarification on this

You will find the att LCD and digitizer here. International does not fit

Nexus 4 is more expensive than one s.
The S3 (c2) isnt THAT bad. Its nothing wrong with it performance-wise.
But the custom rom scene is terrible for it, and its **** compared to the One S S4.
Try to get a hold of an S4 device, its so much better than S3. But if theres no way for you to get an S4, the S3 is still a good device if you can live without a bunch of custom roms etc.

Check out HTC's website for pictures, and make sure the phone you buy looks just like the pictures. I am not sure what color you would get, but the design of the device should be the same. If you can remove the back and access the battery, than its a knock-off.

I know all of the review for htc one s..and pictures with him. I want to know something else...i don`t know how to check the imei and all of this stuff.
The IMEI can be checked from system settings<about phone<status. If you are trying to determine is this phone has been reported stolen or something like that, you would probably have to contact the carrier and give them the IMEI number and ask them if the phone is been reported stolen. Of course I don't know if this is even possible with a Romania carrier, thats something you would have to call them about.

Yeah, Nexus 4 price in Romania (in retail stores) is around 500+ euros, but still I've got my One S (Ville, S4) with ~400$, you can get S4 in Romania, you just have to search a bit. There are new ones (online stores) ~500$ and SH ones around 350-400$ with s4 processor. Just keep looking, you'll find a bunch of them

There will be quite a difference when playing games, multitasking etc.
like usaff22 said, there's quite a difference when using CPU intensive apps, IMHO S4 is the fastest processor available when comparing core to core performance and keeping in mind that ville and ville c2 have the same price, i would say: keep looking. But if you're not that mad about processor power, s3 will do just fine.

You probably wont notice much of a big difference, unless you got both an S3 and S4 in hand - then the differences become clear, and it is a rather big difference.
So, as long as you stay away from S4 the S3 will seem very fast, but once you compare it to an S4, the S3 will seem extremely slow and you will curse yourself for not getting an S4
