Does T-Mobile sell the vibrant or the galaxy s

Helping a friend out and I need to know he has a T-Mobile Samsung or a vibrant. They both have the same model number but before I upgrade his phone I don't want to brick it any help would be appreciated

What does it say when it boots up? Did you try looking on T Mobile's website before starting a thread? Are you sure they have the same model number?

They sold it to him as a galaxy s but everything I read is that they are basically the same phone just different regions. Honestly just was curious if someone knew the quick answer being it was bought from a T-Mobile store. Did a search but nothing came up definate. From what I read it should be a vibrant
Sorry guess it could have went into the stupid thread

The model numbers aren't the same. Search the model number of the phone and I bet you get your answer.

Ok vibrant 3g model # SGH-T959
Samsung Galaxy S 4g model #SGH-T959V
Both are TMobile phones
I could go on and on about the differences but ill leave that for you to spec out

Tmobile sells the vibrant.
At&t sells the captivate.

[Q] Hex/IMEI problem. Can't find it!

I've checked the help section and came up with nothing (although that sounds odd because there is tons of problems with this on this tab). But anyway I'm trying to register my Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 and can't find these numbers anywhere. Of course it doesn't have a keypad like a phone to type in a code to get it, so I'm stuck. There is nothing on the box, nothing on the back of the product, and nothing in the Settings>About Phone menu. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

If it's not the 3g version I don't think it would have an imei

Okay, that makes sense. I don't know why I didn't think of that. But what do I use to register the product? It asks for it, but obviously mine doesn't have one.

Where are you trying to register it?

I believe all you need is the serial number.....which tab do you have?? I just registered my gf gt-p3113 wifi only tab last nite and all i needed was the serial number. Make sure you pick the right model and select wifi only model instead of a carrier model

What model is this Samsung phone?

Hi!
Anyone has a clue what model is this Samsung phone? Or is it a replica?
See atachment below.
Thanks in advance!

Would be better to pop back cover pull battery and look to see what is on the sticker and Google the model number listed...

Looks like the samsung note but that one says samsung on the top and not in the bottom

I can't! It's not my phone. Someone is selling it but didn't say what model it is.

Yeah, and the Galay Note has three buttons at the bottom, not four like this one

This is probably a Galaxy S2 variant

Although there are plenty of knockoffs out there, the closest is the MediaTek MT6589. They haven't released it yet and keep saying they will. Who knows whether it will come to fruition! The closest knockoff out there is the Star 7180, but it certainly doesn't have the specs of the Note 2. Hope that helps a bit!

Look at the back under the battery and see what it says, or usually the back cover will indicate the carrier.
And no, not all Samsung phones are Verizon phones.

Will read SCH-I535 for a Verizon phone.
