Specs are at bottom.. please?
in the end of the link, remove the space between HTM and the Dot --> .

Link is off.
Can you please describe the phone's model so we can help you?
Tks!

Link
The link is fine copy it and remove the space between . and htm in the end

Be careful, chinese phones are crap !
I've bought one few months ago and there was a lot of problem with it :
- touchscreen malfunction / bad quality
- battery lifetime very short (about a half day... that's why 2 batteries are given with the phone)
- sector adapter exploded on first use
Good luck !

You do realize that this is not a real Galaxy S2, right?
I wouldn't buy this fone if I were you. It's not gonna cut it!
Quality will probably be very low.
Buy the real deal, or a simpler model if can't afford it.
Just my 2 cents.

Got confused
So this isn't a GT-i9100(or galaxy s2)right?

hey being an xperia p user i can really vouch that it is way bettter than samsung galaxy s advance ! firstly i would like to put it that samsung has a very poor update policy in india whereas sony xperia p is getting updated to ics 4.0.4 within a week or two ! then again s advance doesnt have nfc and just a 5 mp mediocre cam !! i compared the photos of my phone with my friends s advance on my computer and sonys camera had a stunning pics ! even the super amoled display doesnt compare to my sxp white magic display ! and it has lesser ram available dan sxp ! only thing is that amsung has a gr8 service support in india !!! hope u find my reply useful
Where i live the difference of price is big,s advance is much more cheap, the battery of this phone is very good and the P one said to don't last to much.I really like S Advance!

in india the Maximum Retail Price of S advance is rs. 26999 whereas that of sony xperia P is rs.25799 !! well the pricing strategy of samsung atleast in india is always really bad ! they try to keep a whole lot of margin for the distributors,retailers !! however the best buy price of the s advance in the market is rs.22000 whereas i got my xperia p for rs.23200 that is just 5% more than s advance !! so i guess price isnt a big discrimator in our country regarding both the phones ! well i personally prefer the p but well den again like u mentioned ur phone had a better battery 200 mah more dan my phone and a expansion slot ! bdw my battery lasts me around a day on average use of somewhere about 1 and half hour of gaming and somewhere 2 hours of music and approx 1 hour of other apps !! i would like to know about s advances battery life caus my firend owning the same claimed his battery too lasted just a day !!
Basically my usage is about 2 hours of music,2 hours gamming and something close to 2 hours of internet navigation with wifi and a half hour with 3g.I only turn on data when i need,the same for wifi and gps.I never let it run totally out of baterry but i can say its lasts about 1 and a half day surely. But like you said the price is not soo different in your country,and i really like the P,so in that case i would buy a Xperia instead a SGSA.

help!!!

Please shelp me identify this tablets. Mine is the one above and shows GT-N8000 but it has no stylus. i flashed with GT-N8000 firmware now it wont boot up. please help moi identify
You got ripped off... If it has no pen its the samsung galaxy tab 2 10.1... No note 10.1 was sold without the s-pen - it's the major selling point of the note 10.1...
If you flashed the note firmware on the gtab 2 then you will end up with a brick and may require the pit file to fix. If that doesn't work then its back to samsung....
Here's a link to a picture of the back and front of a galaxy tab2 10.1 - http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_tab_2_10_1_p5100-pictures-4567.php
And here's a link to the Note 10.1 - http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_note_10_1_n8000-pictures-4573.php
You said it had gt-n8000 on the tablet. If this was in settings then it was because someone played around with the build.prop file which means they sold it under false pretenses.
If it said it on the outside then I believe its a chinese fake.... and heaven knows what firmware you would need to fix... You have a lovely paperweight though....
The back of your tab isn't from the Note 10.1, Across the top you should have a silver piece that goes across the top, and the camera aperture is supposed to be a square , not rounded....
Under the writing at the bottom - CE0168 there is a heap more writing, 3g, wifi and internal storage size.
The only other thing I can think of is you got a developement version of the GT-N8000, it came with 1 gb of ram and a dual core processor. There is no firmware available for this as it was only a prototype and didn't go to manufacture... Not even Samsung will fix this....
i agree with you bro, but there is a little difference with galaxy tab 10.1 p5100 and mine. mine has flash light behind and the speaker at the front aint joined to the calibrator. could you tell me the model number number of the one above .thanks bro. one luv
As I said, it's possibly the prototype made by Samsung in which case it is the N8000 BUT there is no official firmware as it was never officially released. That's if it is an original Samsung Product and not a knockoff....
I can't tell you what you have as I don't really know.... Sorry....
I finally flashed it with a P7501 file Tmobile file android 3.2. It started flashed until it got half way and it went off till naw it wont come up no sign of charging or anything. Wot do u think is wrong hard bricked or coma bricked
If there is no sign of life its hard bricked.... Coma bricked will at least get you to bootloader....
thanks for replying bro. i have a feeling there was no charge in it. because when i put it download mode after a mins or 2 it off itself. buh do u think flashing it could hard brick it.for now on getting home have plugged it to charge lemme see if sometime could happen. which social ntwrk are u on lets chat more better. thanks bro
Battery dying mid flash will cause a brick. One of the first rules of flashing is to ensure you have power!
If you cant get into download you have a paperweight....
Is there jtag for the note tab yet?

HDC Galaxy Note 3 N9006 - Replica Galaxy Note 3

This phone caught my eye when this YouTuber, Mayiandjay, posted a review about the phone.
THE SPECS:
1GB RAM
16GB Internal Storage
PowerVR SGX544MP4 GPU
MT6589 Quad-Core processor
1280x720 resolution
USB 3.0 Cable and USB slot
So specs quite impressive...
The YouTuber bought it from a seller called ibaby888 at dhgate.com I'm quite surprised the phone cost $220 with working stylus and touch controls and what not. It even has the AR Remote Sensor built-in !!!
so i just wanna know, has anyone bought this phone?

I've just dhgate had good and bad. Got 2 tablets from there one worked the other didn't. Had to pay to send it back
That and the note 3 N9002 looks good from fastcardtech. Problem being heard loads of stories that they breakdown after a couple of months.
Might be worth the risk. I'd like to know if it's worth getting coz I would be intrested in them
Plus does Anyone know where the best place to buy the Goophone i5s and the Goopad mini
I am a noob and have always questioned devices from retailers like dhgate. Would a phone like this be able to be activated on the ting network or one similar? Do they have any kind of development community like the Samsung Note 3 would have?
Hi guy I have buy the goophone i5S at $165 I think so but the phone is abit not so smooth but is good I love it and I see it on mayiandjay, I buy it from ming that mayiandjay have say free shipping

They are very popular. It's just a big risk. On paper they sound excellent.
I do want the Note 3 N9002 version from HDC it's only going to cost £130 with shipping. It's hard to tell the difference plus for what it is, I think it's worth it but you pay peanuts and get monkeys.
Anyone know where I can find more info on here. Done a search and it brings up a few but not user reviews and where the best and safest place to buy them from.
Dhgate is fine depending on the seller. They no longer use paypal so I wouldn't like to use it without that protection. It's not Dhgate they hold the payment till you confirm you have them and happy

I'm not sure though, why not just buy the Note 3 N9006 from HDC too? ROM looks abit more faster, air control stylus thingy works too from what i see from the video. Also, if there are any breakdowns of the CLONE note 3, just simply buy the parts from the official Samsung Note 3 to the CLONE ones...

I got mine from ibaby888, shipped to Singapore within a week. I choose to shipped by DHL, pay $10 more. Everything is good except the GPS does not really work. It is able to detect satellite but unable to have lock. Also I'm unable to get apps install in microSD. Using AppMgr III or AppMonster Pro, the move storage selection are "move to phone" or "move to internal storage". Unfortunately in this phone internal storage and phone storage are the same. ES File Explorer detect phone storage as SDCARD0 and microSD as SDCARD1. I have not find the way to install app to SDCARD1 yet.

is there any way to change rom in these phones ?

Do somebody has a hdc note 3 for parts with working lcd and digitizer? I would buy it if somebody has. Or if somebody knows where to buy those than please conact me. I was trying to find somethink on my own but unsuccessfully. If somebody can help, i would appreciate. Contact me here or by e-mail: [email protected]
Thanks to everybody in advance.
I have a problem
I bought a GT- N9002 Note3 in Aliexpress this is the link to the description :
*
*
Since I bought him never kayaked the GPS , I followed all the tutorials that exist for MTK GPS equipment but there was no case.
*
Wandering through some forums and the tired horse , I found that someone said that if you added a command line to build.prop file solved the problem. To my surprise, after doing cell did not start over . The phone freeze during startup logo in S ***** G. What if you could do was go to Stock Recovery of Factory Mode Android and that 's all in Chinese and apparently useless. From Stock Recovery I tried to do the wipes , but nothing happened , because the problem was not corrupt user data but in the operating system .
*
Apparently the only solution was Reflash the Rom . I followed the tutorials to the letter as I pose the forums. Tirelessly searched for a rom that matches the specs of my phone but never found :
*
N9002 = MTK6589T 1.5Ghz - 2GB RAM - 16GB ROM - IPS Screen 1080P 5.7 "
*
If agreed the processor and ram , did not match the internal memory or the screen resolution , and so on.
*
The SP Flash Tool Tools threw me the following error ERROR " S_FT_ENABLE_DRAM_FAIL ( 4032 ) " . . . In some forums they said it was because it was the wrong Rom . After downloading like 20 different there was one that began to flash, but the phone did not turn on anymore, I still recognized when I plug the drivers to load another ROM . I tried to contact the seller to see if Aliexpress can guide me as to flash the rom , but 10 days ago I do not answer .
*
At the end of sale aliexpress link I left , says the phone was manufactured by " No.1" although the theory says that HDC and NO.1 are different teams. I tried to flash the rom with the official team NO.1 I found on the page but not needrom flashes . Load scatter file on sp flash tool , button "download" , plug in the computer without the battery and pressed the vol + button. Load the red bar up to 100% and then get the error 4032 . Leave a screenshot for better understanding . As recommended forums also tried from the Firmware > Update button and here was a problem . Only a rom managed to make the process to the end, that is:
*
Legend HDC S4 s6 custom I8900.AP121.02.09.AB V04.0 -1130 - SM- N9002 v3
*
In theory, it was support for multiple computers clones of HDC . . S6 - S4 and N9002 . The surprise is that when finished the process and made the green circle but the phone did not turn on , or the recovery mode or the factory. If I put the battery and the charger plug in , turn on and the screen goes gray with a horizontal lines that move. If I unplug it dies again. When I plug the PC recognizes the drivers preloaders smoothly, so I conclude that it can continue flashing with other rom that will go .
*
The funny thing is that all roms come down from needrom claiming to be for MTK6589T processors come with the scatter file whose name MT6589_Android_scatter_emmc . . . and scatter that came with the only rom that could be had as flash MT6589T_Android_scatter_emmc name . No if you have something to do , I say from my ignorance.
*
You won me tired and not do more , I wrote a mail commenting on the situation English people of No.1 but I still did not respond .
*
IF ANYONE CAN GIVE ME A HAND AND HAVE SOME EXPERIENCE WITH FLASHING PHONES SP CHINESE FLASH TOOL. . . I WILL BE VERY THANKFUL !

Nice ^ And the remote feature does not work for me, everything else is perfect i think, just the remote control
Edit, After watching your test instead of Mayiandjays you tought me how to use the remote, thank you
I guess this is the Note 3 clone post (only one!?!) so I'll ask my questions here! My phone is similar, but I think we'll all have a hard time finding "real" specs as you will soon see...
Have any of the rest of you tried any benchmarking/info apps to find out your real CPU/GPU/RAM specs yet?
My phone came with a (locked) version of Antutu that I think was hacked to show better scores and info. I rooted the phone (with Framaroot) and deleted the old version, installed a new version from the Play Store, and installed CPU Identifier. Antutu still miss-read the specs, but CPU Identifier gave a more realistic picture. (but not perfect)
The original Device Info screen: imgur.com/Js8e4FI or see "deviceinfo.png" below
Antutu's (still incorrect) device info screen: imgur.com/0OMilGl or see "antutu.png" below
CPU Identifier gave me a more realistic view of the processor, but still incorrectly shows 3GB of RAM: imgur.com/caapx2o or see "cpu identifier.png" below
Do any of you know an app that can show how much RAM this device actually has?
The processor seems to have confused Antutu and CPU Identifier as well since Antutu thinks its a quad-core Snapdragon, and CPU Identifier thinks its a dual-core MediaTek processor but says that the GPU is incorrect for the model it thinks it is.
I guess it will be a while before we know if any custom rom will work on these phones, but it would be nice to be able to use Xposed. I'm a little worried about trying it, but I'll probably get impatient soon and try it. It would be nice to at least know what rom is actually on it, as I think that info has been faked as well. I've tried to see if I can get any better info from the factory mode menu, (power + vol. down while booting), but it's all in Chinese: imgur.com/ivDFE4s or see "screencrap.png" below. Does anyone know what it says or how to change it to English?
---------------------------------
Okay, now the good news:
-It's actually a good phone for the price! I payed the equivalent of around $110 for it last weekend.
-The screen is bright and responsive, similar to the videos in this thread.
-The back of the case is branded like Mayiandjay's.
-The S pen is similar to the other pens. It looks almost exactly like the Samsung, with a fake button on it. The S pen menu only appears when you take the pen out, and I don't think the menu can be moved around the screen.
-It had the same desktop layout as the videos, but I think I lost some of that (and apps?!?) when I did a factory reset from the settings menu. I lost the Samsung boot up screen, (now it's an Android ani), and I don't seem to have the remote control app.
-The air gesture worked well (a bit better than s7yler's), and smart screen paused movies when I looked away.
-Multi window didn't work, but there is an app dock tab on the left side of the screen.
-It seems to get good signal and 3g, but I don't know about 4g. (we don't have that here)
-It is USB 2 with the fake USB 3 ports like the others.
-The Play Store is in the Galaxy Plus Icon/menu
-The resolution isn't what Antutu reports (1080x1920!) but I think CPU Identfier's 540x960 is correct, or it might be a bit better.
-The camera is only 8 megapixels, but that's okay, I don't take many pictures.
-While I don't think the phone has 3GB of RAM, the closest I've found to what might be more accurate is through using Usemon. While monitoring the RAM, it seemed to show about 1.5GB, but that might have been faked too.
All in all, it seems to be a good phone. I think s7yler's and Mayiandjay/Christopher.J.M's are better if they are actually quad-core, but until I can find an app I can trust or until I can change the rom, I don't think any of us can say what the specs are with confidence. This phone seems better than the other clones I tried out, so I'm happy with it.
U only have a dualcore phone friend

Can one of you guys who got the device tell me if you have to pay extra taxes when it reaches the customs? Also how is the smoothness of the ROM and hows the battery life?

Paying tax/custom control all depends on how luckly you are! With some of my orders, DHL delivered without any extra, while with others DHL contacted me and wanted bank or paypal proof of the value. There is no bullet proof rule that you can use. It is random if they stop your package when it comes from China.
The ROM is smooth, and the battery life is really good! seems to be near real 3200mAh.

For instances im thinking about buying mayiandjay's version and paying for dhl shipping with the original box, since my countries tax is 23% over the original value does that mean if the customs catch it i will pay a quarter more? or do i just need to send them the payment proof?

Hi I'm not sure about this page , but I just want to let my problem to everyone who will be able to see and please share your idea if you know .
My hand set is samsung galaxy note 3 made in Vietnam and not able to root it shows UDC START when I run uden after that can't do any thing.
Which means can't run uden and no root.
There are a lot of choices:
iPhone 6, Sony Z3,Z3 compact, LG G3, Galaxy S5, Oppo flagship and so on.
2013 flagships dont dissapoint aswell, if you want some of your money back.
