Maybe problem is in phone or hardware. My phone's vibration don't work, and i have tried diffrent roms.

I don't think the problem is with the phone. The batteries are just crap. I work at a service center and by far the best-selling batteries are Samsung ones. Lots of people coming in with bad batteries on Samsung phones.
We have noticed a trend, i can confirm this with my own devices and also confirmed with friends that own Samsung phones - batteries that say "Cell made in Japan" or "Cell made in Vietnam" hold up good, while those that say "Cell made in China" bloat quickly and die.

Try to buy from a different store and of course, avoid "Made in China" ones ! I don't think it's the phone..

sharing: freaky blast from the past

wayyy back in 1999 i had a nokia 8850 mobile phone. in 2001, while living in hong kong i sold it as the screen was dead. now, fast forward to 2011. around 4 weeks ago my former mba classmate (in hong kong) sent me an email. she was shopping around the side streets of hk (kowloon, tsim tsa tsui) for a cheap and simple mobile phone for her 11 year old son. she stumbled on this nokia 8850 so she asked the vendor for it. she opened the back to check that all's well. upon removing the battery, she noticed a name that's been scribbled on the chrome surface. lo and behold, it was my name. i know, freaky. and i kid you not. anyway, she remembers me as we were study partners. so she sent me an email asking if i wanted to get the phone. of course i said yes! i offered to pay but she said the phone was too cheap so she shipped it right away. last friday (the 30th of sept), the parcel arrived. i put in a sim card and it works! very interesting...and freaky...that something from my past made its way back to me. just thought i'd share it. oh, and check out my signature. second to the bottom is that same nokia 8850 in the pic.

Must be the best vacation company for charging devices. Wont need a wallet outlet for months!!! Well, if the capacity is really that much and quality.
I don't even know what I'd use that for. The phone has a 2550 mah battery. You could fully recharge it around 115 times with the 300,000.
let us know if it really is that much, for that small of a size, i don't believe it a bit. my old anker is 10000 mah and about that size
i don't believe it has 200000mah.
But amazon has some nice products. I had it,I was using this external battery for charging my iPhone 5s , Samsung galaxy tab 3, Samsung s4 during my 24 hour flight. Charged iPhone 2 times, s4 once and sgt3 3 times. it has many 5 star reviews: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00RJQB4IU/

Everything except the screens showing it running. That is how you are really going to know. Buy instead from a known source and you don't have to worry.
Looks legit...
Corners scratched BTW I looked at the same one on eBay

just never buy a phone without running CPU-Z on it first.
When I have sold phones I've uploaded a photo of the phone showing the CPU-Z screen CPU info so people know it's legit.
There's way too many fakes out there these days.
Not only that, but I hear stories of people buying phones second hand and then a week or later they become black listed.
Some people sell their phones then claim they got it stolen or lost and claim on insurance for a new one, the insurance company then blacklists the old EMEI number.
Long story short, I would never buy a second hand phone.
If it's Ebay you have 14 days iron clad money back clause. When you get it, check it, if it's fake, send it back but make sure you start your refund process direct with ebay, not by dialog with the seller.
If you can a screen of it in Recovery then you'll know it's real. If it comes up in Chinese then it'a a fake

t-mobile Note 5: different revision?

I received a "t-mobile replacement" for my "insurance refurbished Note 5" . Look at the differences. The one on the right is either an old hardware revision or a bad refurbished.

The CPO (certified preowned) I bought is the newer style with FCC stuff on the bottom back.

i see a Note 5 that had the back glass replaced. The picture of the lense - idk what I'm looking at. Be specific when you post stuff like this. It looks dirty either inside or outside but idk what is going on.
Why did you use your insurance?
Tmobile is good at many things; refurbishment isn't one of them. They send I my self and a friend of mine have both received refurbished devices that should not have been able to pass quality control with even a cursory inspection.
Samsung did make a change on the S-Pen piece that was getting broken when you inserted it in backwards.

They didn't have my previous phone so they sent the N5 instead. Yeah, the lense is dirty inside. T-mobile replaced it with no question asked.

S10e display manufacturing error?

Hi guys
I am really having some trouble loving my S10e. The phone would be great - if it wasn't for the screen. The glass is simply glued on the front and thus sticks out by 0.75mm. The corners are not rounded but quite sharp. When I put the phone to my ear, the sharp end scratches my ear and it feels uncomfortable. On top of that, with the glass being exposed like that, it obviously lead to it cracking within the first 3 weeks (see

).
Is this the same for all S10e? I have searched the Internet for any reviews or complaints mentioning this issue, to no avail. I simply can't believe that this is normal (I have never seen a phone with the glass glued on like that).
Cheers,
Will
This sounds like a faulty handset to me. You'll need to see if you can get it replaced under warranty.
Unfortunately as with all Android phones, this will mean sending your current handset off somewhere and waiting up to 2 weeks to have it inspected, repaired or replaced. You'll need to make sure you have a spare handset lying around. This is one of the things I hate about Androids compared to iPhones. Maybe try putting on a case to see if it helps?
If you had an iPhone, you'll have been able to book an appointment and have your iPhone replaced the same day.
Hey Wutang, thanks a lot for your reply! And all along I thought the glass being glued on like that was (a little silly but) normal for the S10e. I have contacted Samsung again, so I guess we will see.
