Hello,
I've bought my Galaxy S22 Ultra in the UAE in February, and I don't know how today my screen cracked.
Phone never felt, with protective case, was in my pocket. Anyway i'm not here for that.
I left the UAE last april, and now live if France.
UAE and Europe doesn't have the same model (S908E vs S908B)
My local store told me that he can't change my screen because pieces for the two models are differents.
Do you know if the screen really has differents references for each models? or if he totally bul**** me.
Anyway I'm stucked cause I can't apply for smart-repair-service from samsung french website, telling me that my product is not a valid model.
thanks for any lead you can provide
Ship it back in UAE and fix it there if Samsung.fr can't
Was your local store an actual Samsung store? If not, I recommend taking it to someone else, because the guy you talked to is full of s**t. I think he is just going by the model number of the phone and not the part number of the display.
Otherwise, you may need to send it directly to Samsung for repair.

I ordered my z5 from a seller at Hong Kong, but end up getting a z5 dual e6683.
I don't really mind getting dual version. However, I really want to know if it supports LTE cat6.
According to the white paper, it only supports cat4.
However, according to the spec page it seems to support cat6.
Does anyone have any idea?
Thanks.
I think going with the whitepaper is more accurate.
I'm thinking of picking up a dual as well... Which reseller from hk did you pick it up from?

I get it from NGP STORE USA on Amazon, but be aware they actually send from Hk instead of US as they quote.
hey all,
Headsup, I would not trust that retailer (ngp) again!
I EXPLICITLY ordered the z5 6653, it should have been mailed from the USA to arrive in 48hrs...
I got the z5 6683 (serious) with no USA USB adapter (minor) & came from Hong Kong with crazy extra fees,
Then they ripped me off on shipping fees (return & resending), took forever to get (+6 weeks) & sent me a device that superficially appears to be the z5 but there's lots of red flags...
The USA adapter is damaged, setup in Spanish with weird pre-installed apps, the clear plastic new device screen protector is blank instead of an image of the home screen & most important, I can find zero way to confirm that the device has cat 6 lte.
If anyone has ideas how to confirm that this device I was sent actually has cat 6 lte &/or counterfeit status, I would really appreciate it...
Even if this thing is the real deal & has cat 6, I would strongly, very strongly recommend that absolutely no one trust this company or purchase anything from them!

Hi,
I want to buy my mother a new phone for her birthday, and have decided on an S7 because (a) I'll probably never have to buy her another phone again and (b) she'll be able to stay on the Sammy-train, where she's very firmly set *sigh*
However, I don't want to buy from a local store because the prices, (it's like the S8 line doesn't exist) and I'd also prefer an unlocked model in case she switches carriers. I've been looking at amazon.de, and their prices are more reasonable. But I have my doubts, mainly about if the phone I buy will turn out to be fully genuine (and brand-new), or will turn out to be somehow SIM-locked or have the wrong firmware like in this thread. [EDIT]Also, what about warranties & repair and stuff like that?[/EDIT] I'm aware that it will be region-locked to the EU, which every seller says it should be (and it better be the right region, too). I've come here with this query as it's likely to be the most knowledgable environment for S7 stuff. So, yeah, if there are horror stories out there, I'd love to hear them.
Finally, yes, I have searched, but all the relevant threads I found were about amazon in the US/Canada/RSA. I'm in the EU, and need more info on buying Samsung phones here, as I haven't done so for four years now. TIA for answers
Hi.
I have bought Samsung galaxy note 20 ultra N986U1 model from USA to India. Right now I'm in india and my mobile display blacked out suddenly. When I reached out to service centre they said warranty is not valid for internation device and I agreed to pay the cost for th display. But now after waiting for almost a month they are informing part is not available or they could not procure it from U.S . When I asked replacement they said that is not possible for international device.
They asked another 2 days time to check further action with thier higher authorities.
Have anybody came across such situation? Even if it is International device it ie samsung liable to repair it has I have valid invoice. Will they refund me money or what will be further action I should do. Please advise
I think they don't need to import display as it should be same for all models.
No due to processor different when they fix e indian variant display the front camera was not working.

Samsung warranty is only honored by the country of the device that it was intended to be sold in. It's always been like this as far as I remember, it shouldn't be and I feel your frustrations and pain. Perhaps find a contact in the USA if you have a U model and have them submit it in for warranty repair evaluation.

You can try Aliexpress by using vpn, they had some slight defective panel of Note 10 not sure about Note 20 but you can search. It was around 10k-20k.
Reset the phone in Indian display then check camera.
Just want share. Black screen of death occurred to my imported hk variant n20u yesterday when I woke up. The phone is still working and still responding to touch input. It is working fine on Dex. It's just the display that went out.
Basically I tried forced reboot, clear cache, reflashed the full firmware and rebooted several times all using adb but screen is still totally black even on recovery and download mode. I lost hope and was convinced that it's my screen is broke.
However, I was surprised when the screen suddenly revives itself after leaving it for a day. I don't know why.
Not sure if this is the right place to post or not but I just bought what was supposed to be a "new" LG V50 (V450VM) Verizon model on Ebay When I received it it was in a V50 Box with "KT" (Not Verizon), with a generic serial number/IMEI/UPC label on it. It said made in Korea but no manufacture date. The box was not sealed, but the V50 had a screen protector on it that looked untouched. The accessories are complete although the headphone box had obviously been open before.
I have turned it on and it acts like a V50. The V50 FW that came preloaded was 20d, which dates from July 2020, which is likely well after the phone was actually built. So that makes me suspicious it's been cross flashed or refurbished in some way and sold as new. I'm not in a hurry to put my Verizon SIM in it in case of issues. I am also concerned it will not eventually take the Android 11 update if I decide to try to upgrade, although that will depend when and if KDZs become available for that. (as I know some unscrupulous sellers cross flash models that then basically get orphaned)
Swappa's IMEI checker shows it as a V450VM correctly, IMEI.Guru's site says model unknown.
I'm mostly concerned that it's not a real V50 and will not last like a real V50 or perform like one. Are there any obvious red flags here? Other things to check? or is this likely just some 'new' but repackaged surplus V450VM? (It was a seller in the US, not one of the Chinese sellers who I purposely avoided hoping to not have a situation like this) I have not yet contacted the seller to ask what's happening in case I'm just being too suspicious/picky.
Thanks!
Replying to myself to add that I discovered the 5G logo/light on the back of the phone matches the photos online of the *Sprint* model (5 slightly above G) and not the Verizon model (with the 5G and a checkmark). So this has been crossflashed at some point in its life and is definitely not a true V450VM.
Requested a return from the seller, hopefully this will not become a mess. I wish I would have caught this issue faster.

It seems a lot of these exist out there... a lot of V50 "open box" or "new sealed in box" on ebay... problem is... doesn't matter if it's a US Seller, many of these Chinese sellers seem to set up shop in the US or have a partner who buys them in bulk and sells them.
I'm questioning whether I should get one or not..... as long as it's rootable to put a custom ROM, the cameras work like OEM hardware, and the DAC is legit.... I think I'm ok with it... But only someone with experience could probably chime in.
Is it worth while getting one of these "grey" market V50's from China?
I cracked the screen of my S22 Ultra (S908U1) in Toronto. I took my device to the service center here and they totally refused to operate on the device since the Canadian version is different (S908U). They told me that the components are different for both models, hence they cannot replace the screen on a US model. I thought the difference in variants is limited to carriers and network but the hardware (at least the screen and digitizer) would remain the same. Am I wrong? It's proving to be impossible to get the screen for a US model fixed in Canada.
Any feedback guys?
Given that you live in Canada is there a reason for not buying a Canadian model?.
My primary reason for buying a native device is to avoid situations like the one you are in.

I'm pretty sure that the components and the position inside the phone are the same. You could have a look at some disassembly videos, but I see no reason why they don't want to repair the screen. Try with another service centre maybe
Both the U and U1 models are the North American versions. The only difference is the U1 is unlocked. Hardware-wise, they are the same.
