Just wondering is there are any Aussie users of the G Pro 2?
Obviously its not available here, and the grey imports only work on the Optus network
They are so cheap at the moment - wondering if I should just get it
It's a great phone, I brought mine off becextech. I've got my 32gb black model running pretty well on Telstra. The problem is if you wanna do customisation (you will want to with this phone) you can't due to all its restrictions. I think you should do a little more searching around because it's not perfect.
Thabks for the heads up.. Do you regret getting it?

Yeah sorta, the 3G/hspa bands that Telstra uses in rural areas arent supported on the G Pro 2, or at least my D838 model.

Thanks
Good to know - Im still unsure , as I would only ever use it on Optus , which works perfect
Maybe try sell yours on gumtree and go for the G3?

I might just steer clear of phones with stupidly secure bootloaders because I can't stand not being able to flash a file through TWRP
Does anyone know if the LTE version of the frame is any different from the GSM version(s) available on ebay? I need to buy a replacement frame/digitizer, but I'm afraid the frame might be ever so slightly different.
The screens on ebay are all XT1032-XT1036; the LTE model is XT1045.
THANK YOU!

There is no reason for it to be different, this ain't Nokia that implements different IC digitizer controllers.The chance for it to work is 99,99% imo.
Anyway, why don't you consult the seller?

I've contacted a few sellers.
The results have been...diverse? I've gotten "yes" and "no" from them...
My advice would be to buy one and give it a try. These are not that expensive anymore and if it doesn't work for some freaky reason, you can always resell it as new.
Did you find one? if so where?
Hello,
I've been looking for a new 4G Smartphone, something like a Xiaomi, Meizu or a Huawei.
I think I've settled on the Mate 7 as I like the look of the fingerprint sensor and the style.
However, will it work in the UK? I get that it's mixed regarding the USA, but any chance of it working over here?

Thanks for your reply.
I'm not on EE. I'm on Three, which has band 3 and 20.
According to the spec of this phone 3 is covered, but 20 isn't.
Will I be okay then?

Yes, Three uses B3/20. FDD B3 is designed for outdoor coverage and B20 is a PLUS/BONUS for indoor (e.g., in a shop mart; similar as TDD B40/41 for underground coverage) coverage. You can check with THREE for the best answer.

There are a few English sellers who are selling them for about £530, for the 32GB model. Is this too much? Is this about right? Is it worth it?
Gahh, I can't decide between the 2GB and 3GB model. I tend to keep my phones for a long time (still running a Nexus 4).

We recommend 3 GB RAM model if you are to keep the phone a a long time (e.g., >2 years).
With respect to the price, we have mentioned in your other thread and many of our posts. Trust us or your own judgement.

Is it worth it? All depends on your needs, no one answers that but yourself.
Best of luck.

I just got delivery of my GOLD Ascend mate 7 and guys, i am LOVING it. the fact that i can put my work SIM and my personal SIM in it is just brilliant. I am on EE as well. i do not have 4g as i believe its just a reap off by the networks, HSPA+ works well on both. It does come up with 4g when i turn on the phone for the first few seconds but i always just turn it off anyways. The finger print scanner is pure AMAZEBALLS.
Call quality is also very good. I noticed that when i had my Samsung Galaxy note 3, it would drop reception signal once or twice a day in the house, at times, it would loose signal altogether. This hasn't dropped a single signal bar at all. i tried to run down the battery all day yesterday but i gave up in the end. it only had like 45% battery when i took it out of the box. i did not charge it at all.
Also, i got like 7 OTA updates while i was playing with it. Mine is from China so it came with a load of Chinese bloat-ware. i was able to uninstall most of it though. installing Google play was a breeze just by searching for it from the APP centre on the phone. the only problem i had was syncing my contacts, as soon as i got the right googlesynscontact apk, all was good. i am still exploring the phone. it is SLIM for the size it is. i paid £530 for mine. this amount includes the shipping cost as well.
oh, i can change either SIM 1 or SIM 2 to 4g, 3g or 2g.. it all depends on the one i wish to use for data purpose. When you are using 2 SIMs at once, you cant use a Memory card as well. But if you are just using a Micro SIM only, then you can use the other nano slot with a memory card. Mine came unlocked so i did not feel the need to root it . if you guys in UK have any questions, please feel free to get in touch.
Has anyone purchased the 3G Classic Edition? I'm thinking of selling my existing Classic and purchasing the 3G as I miss the speaker function. I didn't even know there was a 3G version coming out in the Classic model?

It seems they do exist but have only been released to the South Korean market. Not sure what that might mean for compatibility with sims from other regions around the world though...

G D it!!! Why?!?!?!?
Anyone have any idea why they did this? Fer gawds sake, I bought a 3G, because that functionality was important. I would have definitely paid MORE to get a classic 3G version.
WTF is wrong with the marketing people in these companies? Don't they want to make money? Since they're already making it, it's not like the cost to sell it here too is prohibitive.

Samsung did this for the same reason companies do anything: profit. My guess is they figured they wouldn't sell enough in other markets to make enough money. They maybe wanted to focus marketing efforts rather than flood the market with devices like they have done before. Who knows exactly. What I do know is that Samsung would have released this to a wider market if they thought it would increase their net revenue.

Could you share picture or do a video ? to see the size of the watch ?
can you show us the speaker on the side ? ^^ you confirm it have built in speaker ? ^^
Thanks ^^
yes it has speaker and a lot more menus, a little thicker than the standard s2 classic, look on ebay for pics, go onto the sk Samsung web site for specs, bargain for an extra £40 ish pound from the uk non 3g one. felt robbed not having speaker etc!
my wife had got me the non 3g for Christmas from currys, straight back for a refund....

Sorry but i failed to find REAL picture and REAL size of this model, i think real size is 44x47x13,4 but i can't know if it is true, and about the weight ??? some say 67g and other 55 ect, if somebody could shows us picture of the SM R735S versus S2 classic, it could be very usefull,
on ebay some spec say the SM R735 have the same size of the S2 classic !!!! lol if it is true i take it now ^^
i hope somebody will post picture ... Thanks.
I'm currently in South Korea and I think I've seen enough to answer the why question. New tech is really popular here even among older people; they probably sell more smart watches here than in the US so the cost of offering more models in that market just isn't appealing.
here, hope this helps, the manual for my 3g classic, as I said, I had the non 3g and now has the 3g, not much difference in size or anything. http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rc...itiHwZXx6jlRi6CdVAd7QA&bvm=bv.111396085,d.ZWU

yes it is a 3G model, or anyway what it is, i don't have the same S2 classic than this guys ... there is some difference (dead zone and strap insertion is different) so if he don't have a 3G classic it means there is another model ? lol

I wonder how different/same the "guts" are from the 3G swatchlikeversion? Is it possible (please!) they are the same, and could just be swapped into a classic 3G case, simply having to hook up the digitizer and bezel (and probably display too)?
This could be a way to get a completely "compliant", functioning, US carrier 3G classic. Likely expensive, but hell, I've wasted so much on smartwatches already that dropping another US$100-150 to make this damn thing the way I want it is thinkable.
EDIT: Check out this this picture:
It certainly looks entirely possible the design may accomodate swapping parts. Heck, it may take nothing more than swapping the logic board between the two watches.
Then, the regular 3G version becomes a Korean unit; sell it on ebay.
Tempted to order one just to try this out here in the US, and if it doesn't work, and the 3G classic can't get on to Verizon (I would think it could, technically, but will Verizon allow it?), then I can just resell it on ebay and eat some loss.
This is probably net-net the most economical approach, rather than trying to but replacement parts.

Ask me anything you like, it's the dual sim international version (MHA-L29)
I just go the phone too. just wondering if you have gotten the "massive" update that was meant to solve some of the tiny camera and notification quirks everyone has been concerned about.
Congrats! What color did you guys get? Pics? I've seen all the review samples and review sites, but would love to see people's own pictures of their phones and how they've got their phone's setup - ie: cases, screen protectors, home launchers, etc. Thanks .
Where'd you get it?

4G/3G?
Hi, am thinking of investing in the Mate 9 dual sim, but need a 4G/3G dual sim compatible phone, as the 2G networks here in Australia have been turned off. Can you advise if the second sim is 3G capable? Other than that, I assume it does most other smartphone stuff nicely?
Hello happy user's of Mate 9.

I want to know this phone will work with Indian network.
2. I want to import unlocked international variant from usa Amazon seller. Cost near about 587 usd.
3. What about SOT and software user experienced.
4. Do i really buy this phone without warranty cause the seller will not cover it outside of Us.
Thanks in advanced

2. Ok.
3. I get 1h per 10%, your mileage might vary. Coming from iOS I'm quite at home with EMUI 5.
4. If you want warranty you'll need to buy whatever version they officially sell/support in your country.
