Hello all, I hope this is the right place for me to ask this question.
So I am looking for a Z3 from Ebay and I notice that most of the sellers are from China or Hongkong. The ones in the US are mostly Chinese as well. They sell either New or New other phones. Some, for example, this guy, states that the phone is brand new in box, but then have latest OS version updated. Sounds a little bit suspicios, I thought the phone was shipped with Android 4, how can they update OS version without open the box?
Anyway, I'm just afraid that I might get a fake one. Anyone here has experience with those Z3 on Ebay? Should I buy? Can you give me some advice? Thanks
I bought a Z3 on eBay basically brand new only taken out of the box to look at and it was updated nothing to be suspicious about hope this helps,I'm in the uk btw

Hey guys, finnaly i decided to buy the new s2 skyrocket insted of the galaxy nexus phone.
I understand its alredy much more stronger and with the ics update its gonna rock.[am i wrong untill now?]
Im also gonna move from the US soon so i need an unlocked version, i have found only this one due to the fact AT&T/Verison and all thos dont sell the phone without a contract, so i found this one :
https://negrielectronics.com/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-skyrocket-i727-white-unlocked.html
Is this site reliable? is it new from the manufactore or pre-used? should i trust them? its only says unlocked but does that means sim-free?
Thx guys!
Best thing to do is see if you can get to a Walmart and try to find someone who will sell you a phone without a contract this has worked for several people I know

What do you mean "someone" ? just ask people around or is it on sale there?
I bought my Skyrocket from them because I couldn't find anywhere else that sold the white SR unlocked. It was actually cheaper for me to get the SR from them compared to getting the original S2 outright in Sydney, Australia.
The phone is new but they need to open the box to unlock the phone. The plastic film (which says don't text and drive or something like that) is still on the phone when you get it.
I read a couple of reviews about the site online and they seem reliable.
Hello.
I have question if someone have experience with any chinese smartphones or tablets (from pandawill website for example), because they have pretty parameters with good price and i found some people like it.
What about xda users, have you any experience with it?
I've had a tablet from ainol and the specs were great. They beat the Nexus 7 (2012) out of the water.
But once I got the tablet the screen wasn't as clear and the build quality was terrible. The tablet was way slow so I returned it.
I'd say if you do want to try one find a USA seller on ebay or somewhere that accepts returns.
Chinese smartphones have great specs and overall good build quality. Any problem i saw from a chinese smartphone i saw it from a brand name smartphone so nothing is perfect. U could be lucky to find a very good one but also have bad luck to find a defective one . Luck is also a big factorvin the experience.

Hi. This is my 1st thread here at XDA, please excuse my ignorance.
Nokia Lumia 520 running stock Vodafone ROM Windows 8.0
I foolishly bought a replacement digitizer from an eBay seller (I should have bought from a genuine Nokia spare parts distributor).
I installed the screen and it works fine until one tries to make a call, and then it goes crazy, lots of ghost input.
I have since read that the after sales screens do not work with the new firmware.
I have read a little about flashing ROMs with Nokia Care Suite. I can only find Windows 8.0 ROMs for this phone.
Does anyone know of a viable ROM that would not include the code that conflicts with the knock-off digitizer screen?
Any advice would be great. Thanks in advance.
Hi,
Just last week replaced the digitizer of my friends 521 (same phone as yours buy T-Mobile branded) I got it from eBay for 20$ and it works great for me so it could just be you got a bad product and should return to seller.
But if you are looking for custom ROMs than u would suggest looking in the windows phone 8 section found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/windows-phone-8
And if none that suit your needs is found ask in the q&a section if anyone knows how to fix your issue with software/firmware
Best of luck!
Hello everyone,
I'm a Xperia Z2 owner but as I'm starting to get into developing I'm looking to get a Nexus 5. I'm from the Netherlands and if I'd like to hear from others that got theirs here as well. Where did you get it, for how much, any bad experiences with it so far?
On another note, Android L might be coming out soon so I'd really like to be one of the 'first' to try it out via a Nexus device.
Well that's my short story. Hope to see you all around in these forums!

I have it for 3 months and love it, the Z2 has a better CPU and more ram but the N5 doesn't need that to be the best. I got mine from coolblue but there are stores where you can get it for cheaper
Well I've found one on Belsimpel for 327 so yeah. I don't mind the spec bump down. I'm looking for the 16gb version since I don't plan to fill it with much as everything I need is on a cloud-based service.
I have a Galaxy S5 and may be getting the 32GB version from Google Play for 399 euro`s. Or i wait a while longer and bit to get the Nexus 6 on release. Nexus devices are still the best imo but after a while i get boared and want to try another device
Ordered it from Belsimpel. Shipping was very fast. Ordered it from there because the other shops in Holland didn't have the black one in stock on that moment.

Got mine from belsimpel.nl as well, but nowadays it seems the device costs a lot more at their website. However, I really like the N5, but did have a problem with the camera. And when you want belsimpel to get it repared, count on a very long time untill you'll get your device back. Very bad service...
Hello friends, I am looking for guidance I was about to buy this model but the importers are out of stock, I have the doubt if they will not manufacture it or it is only momentary, help me in that doubt.
When I bought mine (gray 6/128) direct from OnePlus it was one of the last ones available and that was many months ago. Not sure they are still making them at all since the 7T and now the 8 is about to drop.

It's still listed on OnePlus USA website and ready to order. As you know, eventually, all the phones gets replaced with newer ones. So at this point, you have to assess your needs, price point. I recently received OnePlus 7 Pro although I had an option to order newer ones. This phone meets the needs for what I use the phone on a daily basis at a price that seems to me the best bang for my buck. Your mileage may vary.
