Question about International model used in USA - Note 7 Questions & Answers

I'm getting an international model N7, I'm assuming it wont come with a US spec wall charger. Will I be able to use a standard charger I have? I have a couple extra QC 2.0 chargers laying around.

They do sell adapters that allows use of the charger that comes with the phone.
Some sellers of International Phones even include the adapter.
Which N7 did you order? For which carrier?

Its going to be used on T-Mobile

Should work fine on T mo.
If it doesn't come with an adapter you could find at any hardware store.
Not too hard to find and not expensive.
Enjoy.

Awesome. Thank you

Any charger should work if you don't get the right one. Otherwise as stated above just get an adapter if you really want to use the OEM charger, but I personally would just use the adapters you already have.

True, but you can only buy it from Play if you are from the US, so just wanted to post it for people elsewhere (like me)
And the play store is way cheaper then that is $100 shipped play store is $65 but I know what you mean for others in far away places.

Verizon Compatibility
Is there a way to make my Verizon Wireless Galaxy Nexus work with any of these docks? The versions on Play are claimed to be compatible with GSM/HSPA+ only. However, the $90 version on samsung.com says its compatible with Verizon and Sprint models. should just be a software lock, right? Can this be hacked to work on my Verizon phone? Also, that car dock is really slick but I cant find it on samsung.com. Is the ebay version Verizon compatible?

Extended Battery and Media Dock
Is the fix this simple for the desktop dock as well? And do either of these have issues if you have the extended battery pack?
Thanks again guys,

Thanks for this OP. The Play store is a real hard-ass for some reason... I don't see any reason why they can't ship to Canada (they block the page entirely)

[Q] SM-P601 (3G+Wifi) model availability.

I choose the 3g model because LTE network is not available in my country and I don't have wifi at work. but i don't seem to find it anywhere except for this site: which is in uk
Any idea when this model will be available worldwide and the best way to buy it in UAE.

Sorry man, no idea. But do you have an android phone? If so, root that sucker and use wireless tether as a hot spot for your tablet. That's what I do, seeing as if I ever leave the house my phone is guaranteed to be with me. I personally, for my life, don't see the need for a 3G or LTE version.
Unfortunately my phone is galaxy nexus which already has a crappy battery, using it as a WiFi hot spot would drain the battery even faster. one of the reasons I'm buying a tablet is to save my phone's battery while in work. I'm willing to pay extra $50 for unlocked 3G version.

I live in Mumbai, India and I got one at a local store here. Also, as far as I'm concerned, they haven't locked any carriers on it so I may be able to use networks in other countries.

what are you asking you start off saying you know you can use then ask can you use it. Its a Gear s2 of course you can use it with your android phone since thats what its made for (to be used via bluetooth). A deal can be found via a search on the web. T-Mobile or Verizon version only means you can get a number with your watch?
Not really sure what the question is but.....
I begin to start to understand OP.
As Verizon and T-Mobile seem to need need a specific version of a phone, OP seems to think that a Verizon connected watch need a Verizon phone to work.

ok hear me out for a second. the gear 2 is controlled via bluetooth to your phone. The only difference with the Verizon or Tmobile variant is they are on their networks. If you are using the phone to make phone calls then you would need to pay for service on their networks if not it will be used a bluetooth device.
That's it .. There is a wifi version and carrier version and carrier version simply allows you to have a separate number if you want
if u are not on either of those carriers, then u can use via Bluetooth still, u just cannot use away from your phone or activate on other carriers to use as its own number or sync ur number to the device, u don't even have to activate the device, i may just buy a tmo version for now and just use through bluetooth since I am rarely without my phone.

AT&T motherboard swap to T-Mobile

Good Day!
I got my SM-910A and the network status stays only on emergency calls, bought it in for repairs and found out it that the motherboards needs to go changed. So I was looking on online to buy a new motherboard and the att one is expensive, which is a price for a used one about $99+. So I looked at the tmobile and its less expensive.
So can anyone advice that buying a tmobile board, is wise to put in a at&t device?

I believe so far its not possible
I have at&t s4 and i am looking forward to replace it with diffrent model motherboard but many technician says not possible cuz rest of the hardware is also at&t based and will not match the the motherboard
seems like at least one person did it

Interesting find, I read through the thread and it works good, expect the he gets a notification saying he doesn't the proper sim.
I live outside the US, live in the Caribbean Saint Lucia, the bands won't make much scene for me but my carriers are also gsm running on 4G. I try it myself in two weeks or three.

both phones are basically the same
just that one has an unlocked bootloader, while one is completely dead in development
you won't be able to use all the bands on the phone, but besides that
you are getting more than what you paid for
It will work I've done it before

Yes it would work just fine
It will. Using an AT&T Note 4 here, with SK Telecom (Exynos variant) motherboard. No locked bootloader included.
Had issues with camera though, but I guess I'll eventually figure that out. Shouldn't be a problem to you though, since you are going to use motherboard from the T-Mobile ones anyway.

What version S4 to get (Carrier, Unlocked US, Korean)?

So I have the S3 and talked the other half into why I need to upgrade!
I'm on AT&T and am using a US Cell S3 w VzW Oreo so am not afraid of porting and making it work.
I do want AT&T NumberSync though, which is why I'm leaning towards getting it direct. But, I've seen a few forums mention getting the Korean version for the 6GB of RAM.
I'm looking to be educated, so please let me know your thoughts. I need it to be cell.
Sent from my SM-T827V using Tapatalk
IMO go with Korean. Unless you don't care about paying for additional tablet line and rooting.
I'm able to use my existing voice sim in the tablet and it has a phone app and messaging like a regular phone.
Originally I bought the Verizon version - no oem unlock, requires tablet sim and only 4gb ram
Basically only downside I can see to ordering Korean one through eBay is the time you have to wait for it to get here. Not that bad but not the instant gratification we all want! I never knew about ordering foreign tablets, was always scared off by lack of warranty. But due to how carriers restrict US tablets, I will be buying from Korea every time in the future.

Because the international version lacks a warranty, at least for USA consumers, I purchased a Squareteade warranty.
Being in HK, I'm not sure if a warranty might apply to you or not, or if there is another similar 3rd party warranty available.

so if i don purchase an extra warranty i can get it replaced only if it's damaged or not working properly?
also, does the extra warranty cover all imperfect problems observed including but not limited to those i mentioned above?
and how about rooted device? covered or not? for example, rooted but green lines found later?

Yes. I'm on TMobile can use play store, Samsung dialer as if it were a phone, texting everything. Works great no issues.
TMobile sees it as an unknown phone I notice no throttling whatsoever besides the same video throttling that applies to all phones. (A VPN handles that anways. )

Thanks. I'm on AT&T so it will definitely work.
I've tried finding a definitive answer but I couldn't find it. I've watched numerous videos that showed the phone icon but nothing showing it being used. Thanks again. This will definitely be my next phone.
