International usage - Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion

Hey guys
So I read around a bit before deciding to pick this thing up. I live in Denmark, and was due to this a bit curious if the device would work with my network or not. All the bands were as they should be for use in Europe, only thing that scared me was reading about one guy from India who had trouble (think it was in one of the Reddit AMAs).
However, I just got it today and it works perfectly here. I'm on 3's network. In case anyone else were wondering the same as me. It's the unlocked version picked up from bestbuy.
So for the sake of other potentially interested international users, maybe the ones of us who got one could share their experience, since it seems it can go both ways?

I use it on O2 network in germany, no probnlem.

I just used it in the Netherlands on T-Mobile and in France on Orange I believe last week on vacation and worked great.
Now using on T-Mobile in the US.

I've had mine for 6 or 7 weeks and love it. Just the right size in the hand, great battery and yes the camera is not one one of the best on the market, but isn't as poor as some are saying..
I'm getting very decent quality photos/videos. The latest updates have made a real difference for the better.

Thanks, I'll PM you when I can purchase it

Worked in Denmark and in Norway. Working in the US on T-Mo. Will try in Ireland next week but I can't see why it would not work.

I am planing on buying it within a week or two (I live in Norway). How do you do it with the charger brick? Just use an adapter, or?

Maybe, but the Samsung screen is gorgeous and that's coming from an iPhone 4 user. I know the sensation has a qhd screen, but the super amoled plus is impressive.
I just want to get my hands on a sensation. Am soooo impatient!
I thought the release date was the 18th.
Have just spoken to them on the phone and Vodafone aren't getting them until the 18th and may not dispatch until 19th was the message I just got????
Yes, the UK Vodafone website says:
Pre-order yours today and we will aim to deliver your order by the 19th May

Ahh fcuk it !!!!!
Thought we would get some action today.
Was under assumption that u could walk into VF store amd just buy it today
Another week of waiting.
This and the thought of a nexus 3 at xmas
My head really hurts.....
Think I'll just buy a Nexus 3 (providing it's good) at Christmas. I mean, we know the software will be good...but the hardware is a different matter altogether (especially if it's by LG )
Can't wait until we get some real good user reviews of the Sensation
The VF UK website always said "Expect to receive your device around 19th May"
Pre-ordered mine, so hoping to get one soon! Should get an email day of dispatch.

That's what I am hoping too. Also I believe that if anything goes wrong with the handset you can just take it back to the store rather than sending it back?

Really? Normally you get it early if you get it shipped to your home. Stores are generally prohibited from giving you the phone before the release.
EDIT:Yeah, store pickup is the 6th.

Plus if the GS3 has everything you have ever wanted and somehow will hit att in 2 weeks.. you could cancel the preorder
Just got done placing the order in store (white model). I was worried they wouldn't honor the free upgrade fee that I usually get from the website (they did honor it). I did however find out that my $15 (200MB) data plan was no longer available and I would have to go up to the $20 (300MB) plan. Even then they were pressuring me hard to go with the bigger data plan. Told the guy to look at my current usage on the account...which was 20MB so far. Didn't seem to matter to him. Told me he uses 200MB before making it to work in the morning. This is why I like doing everything online. Still, $212 after tax and everything feels about right for this phone. Used it for the first time in the store and loved it!
The manager told me that as soon as the phone arrives at the store he will give me a call and I can get it that day which should be Friday the 4th at the very latest, but expects it much earlier than that.

I got black. While the white looks sexy (my friend has the international version), I prefer the black.
I was debating whether to wait t see what sammy has to offer on the third, however:
1) my HTC Aria is really starting to show its age
2) while the phone may be announced on the third, they may not even mention when it will be coming to the US; and I'm not about to wait around for six months unsure if it will even come to AT&T.
3) there is no guarantee that the SIII will be available at the steal of a price that the One X will is
4) If by chance that all of these factors fall in favor of the SIII, one can always return the One X, fight the re-stocking fee and pick up the SIII
P.S. I just ordered these two items from Amazon. This phone needs to be protected incredibly well because when I ride my motorcycle, the phone goes in the jacket pocket with all of my other belongings...
Case
Screen Protector
Did anyone order a case and/or a screen protector in advance? I'd like to know what the options are! I personally am a favor of TPU. Keeps the bulk down, yet does the job.

Tried to place an order on the AT&T website twice in the past hour, but when I click to upgrade phone, the website has an error and can't process the request. It was working fine this morning (didn't have time to pre-order, just looked at it)
Im not much in to preordering but I plan on getting this phone, I went to my local store a couple hours ago and they dont have any on display, hell they barely even knew what I was talking about lol which is weird since they did announce it being preordered.

I just noticed this line in my upgrade pre-order confirmation:
You have chosen to upgrade your device with no-commit pricing. Please note, SIM cards are not included with no-commitment orders. If you need a new SIM card, please place your order at a store near you, or by phone at 1-888-333-6651.

So I guess no micro-SIM in the box for me... Hopefully the store can take care of that for me... Does anyone know how funny they would be "upgrading" my plan from my 4gb tether data plan to the LTE 5 GB tether plan? It won't let me do it online...

Buying T-Mobile S4 instead of AT&T?

hi guys,
so i am in the market for a new phone and decided to sticking with Samsung and going to an S4. the problem is that with all the bs about the locked bootloader, i do not feel confident about buying the AT&T model and to be honest, i also don't feel like giving AT&T any of my money. so that leaves me with 2 options: go with the GE which is a lot more expensive and also only comes in white or just buy a T-Mobile model and get it unlocked so i can use it on AT&T. so my question is if anybody here did that and just bought a T-Mobile model and runs it on AT&T?
any other advice?
I bought the t-mobile s4. I run it on AT&T and have had no real problems. The one thing that I have noticed, running a few custom roms, is that LTE drops in and out.
I've also noticed some weird behavior regarding talk and data. If I take a phone call, data ceases to work for a few seconds. I'm pretty sure this is an apn setting or a rom issue. Nothing to do with the network I'm running on or anything like that.

That or just run a AT&T Rom. I am under the impression they are the same device, once you confirm that I would recommend just running an AT&T rom to avoid issues. If I am wrong please someone let me know. It would have to be the non Loki version.
Their may be some international roms you can flash as well
Please double check this information before flashing, even though they seem to have almost everything in common they may differ in minor ways (radios and so on) I do not have a S4 to test and have not read around.

time to do some more reading but i am pretty sure that i will go for the t-mobile one (can you tell that i really really don't want to give AT&T any money?).
edit: looks like you are right and most roms will work on the t-mobile device, you just need the correct kernel.

trust me, if it was up to me, i would have kicked AT&T a LONG time ago since i really do hate this company and how they treat their customers. however, since i don't actually pay the bill (my company pays for my phone and it is their account), i don't have any other option.

Honestly I do not mind AT&T at this point. Yes, locking down phones and cheating people out of money bugs the crap out of me... but they have been really good to me.
In the last couple of months they have:
1. Let me upgrade to the HTC One for $200 without charging one of my upgrade and waived the activation fee
2. Gave me the option of canceling all my lines early or take credits for my trouble
3. Gave me about $300+ in credits
4. Told me that I can upgrade early on my line that isn't available for an upgrade until May of 2014 (just as long as it is not an iPhone)... I'm going to save it for the next big thing.
How can I complain?

Yeah I got really lucky. Talked to all the right people and they were great. I find that you have to push a little and they will help, don't accept the first thing you hear. Everyone at AT&T will give you a different answer so it can be hard. I also noticed that a lot of them have different policies and things they can do. They have no idea what the other call centers are saying.

I have run AT&T as well as T-Mobile ROMs. I believe you need to (I have been doing so, after getting a black screen) run a T-mobile kernel though. None of the custom roms I have flashed have radios or modems in them. Generally, custom roms don't include them, because well terrible if you flash the wrong thing.

Touchscreen issues with last update?

Hey guys,
I'm currently running CM12 nightly and the touchscreen issues are killing me. Has anybody tried both CM12 and the latest CM11S update? Is the touchscreen any better there? I just don't want to downgrade for nothing.
Thanks

Great! Do you know the Manufacture date?
I started the RMA process last Tuesday. By Wednesday the RMA was initiated, and on Friday TNT (their carrier) called me to schedule a pickup. Since they were using UPS, I opted for a drop off.
Printed all the required documents to export the phone back to Hong Kong, and then I dropped the package with UPS on Saturday morning.
I currently see an order under my OnePlus account, so I guess they'll send me a brand new unit. We'll see!

I started the RMA process last Tuesday. By Wednesday the RMA was initiated, and on Friday TNT (their carrier) called me to schedule a pickup. Since they were using UPS, I opted for a drop off.
Printed all the required documents to export the phone back to Hong Kong, and then I dropped the package with UPS on Saturday morning.
I currently see an order under my OnePlus account, so I guess they'll send me a brand new unit. We'll see!

No where can I find it? Ill post it here when I do.
Also some more updates, the touch is still a bit finicky and its still not as responsive as my nexus 7 or moto G but it is definitely a GREAT improvement over my old phone. Typing works almost flawlessly although at times it lags a bit. I also noticed the Cyanogenmod logo on the back cover is gone

It's on the box, apparently.

So still not perfect? I'm disappointed already. Was it a brand new unit?

Build date from settings is Jan 28 2015. And yes it is a brand new unit. If it gets worse I might attempt the hardware fix my self: https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/...-hint-it-was-never-a-software-problem.186235/

The build date from the settings is the software build date not hardware.
Check the box itself there should be a manufacturing date on it.

I know you're busy, so no rush. But just real quick: Does it lag / not 100% responsive? If you confirm this I'm selling the phone.
Thanks!

I don't want to influence your opinion so don't take me that seriously. Check with yours when you get it. Mine has trouble recognizing all 10fingers. It works fine with 5 though. I'll post videos later. But you should wait until you see the videos.
Edit: at this point typing does not seen to be an issue...

New OPO (Excuse the framerate drop): http://youtu.be/OKwIXUx2NS0
You can probably the touchscreen is fine on the new one. I figured the "lag" I am noticing is due to software issues such as when unlocking the phone. The hardware is much much better than it was before. These issues will probably get fixed in CM12.

360 Camera On Sale $19!

It just went on sale for only $19!
https://shop.essential.com/products/360-camera-sa
P.S. I just edited this post to show you Essential it's me that sent you the email, still asking if I can get the deal I just missed...
Thanks a ton! Got the 5$ case for it aswell.

With the phone sale, and now camera sale, I hope this doesn't mean the end of Essential...
Hmm

That's my thought exactly!
Looks like they're trying to get rid of the remaining stock.
Probably means nothing but my hope is that they are going to release new products. I don't see why they would enroll into the Android P beta program just to drop the phone a few months later.
If you want to release a home device you need a customer base as big as you can get. This is one way to increase the numbers.
bought one...can't wait to use it

I was thinking this too, make a big sale wave in the phone market, grab attention, and build up more users...
I wonder how long it will take to ship? Hoping to get mine by the end of next week for a trip. Looking forward to playing around with it
@antmunny & @rambleon84, let us know when you get it, how you like it.
@DoR3M3: Thanks for posting that deal! I can't wait to see how well it works with Android P. They may well be clearing the shelves for new and improved items!
Anyone having problem logging in to Facebook Live from the cam app? Keeps giving me a harsh key not found error.

This is specifically about the 360 cam FB live function. But okay. Was just checking maybe someone else that got it from this deal has the same problem, or not.

Now $49.

Well it's to help you too, people are only going to check this out for the deal, so it's better for you to make a new post.

My $19 cam doesn't work because I have a dbrand skin. The cam arrived pretty quick. Took 3 days, but I don't wanna ruin my skin.

To Skin or Unskin, that is the question? LOL
I managed to snag one of these literally minutes before the sale ended. Bought it, went back to the page 30 minutes later and it was back up to $49. Can't wait to get it, may need to get a different case though.
