Three PAYG UK - Razer Phone Questions & Answers

Has anyone actually managed to order the phone from Three for pay as you go? I've tried over 20 times but it just fails at the payment screen used my partner's card too and the same thing happens.

Why would you do that when you can buy direct from razor? Though admittedly right now all you can do is sign up for a notification email.

I successfully pay for the pre-order of the phone in 3‘s website, so I think there is no problem with the website. Maybe you should use another devices to finish the payment.

Tried that still won't go through

I had exactly the same problem as you, tried around 30 times with different cards, addresses, people.
Eventually got a buddy to try for me with all his details and it went through fine. Pain in the ass, three don't let you pay that much over the phone too so no point in you trying to contact their customer services.
In store they are only taking pre-orders for people doing contracts so a waste of time there too.
Get someone else to try.

Is the phone on display yet on Three to view? also will there be roms on this device? as really thinking of selling the op5 to buy this.

My local store didn't have it on display but when asked they had one behind the counter and I had a go on that for around 15 mins. I personally love it.

I have just spoken to the customer service and they said that the reason for not going through is that anything pay as you go has to be under £100. Sounds ridiculous to be honest.

Which you can't pre-order instore :/
after all this crap I will never ever have a Three sim card the CS is the biggest load of balls

its on display at the three store in enfield town. its very cold to touch and quote boxy/clunky with big bezels, think of a sony xperia in cold metal rather than glass. ordinarily i would move on but for some reason I LOVE THIS ALOMST RETRO DESIGN. i must say the display isnt as bright as the s8 or my OP5 on the demo unit...

when i restarted the phone at three it displayed the three symbol on boot-up, looks like the firmware on the device is three specific. this could make it like Samsung where stock firmware won't allow for volte and wifi calling etc. if it does have operator firmware on it via three, i hope it gets updated as quickly as stock firmware ...
lets see when released ...

Gotcha. They say it is unlocked. The splash screen will unfortunately there, however, the bootloader will be unlockable so I don't see why we won't be able to flash the stock fw on it.

M8 Dual Sim - any differences

Hi,
well, its getting towards the the (semi) retirement of my (the one and only) HD2.
5 years was a pretty good investment and it still all works great.
but...
I am thinking that the M8 is really the only contender with the possibilities (wishful thinking) of multi boot and maybe even including windows phone 8.
the ideal phone will be the dual sim version for me but i can see all the good stuff going on for the M8 but will everything apply if i get the dual sim version?
what i mean is, are they exactly the same apart from the extra sim?
i dont want to get the dual sim then find out that i cannot take advantage of any of the development going on for the M8.
thanks.

hmm, ok, thanks for the heads up JellyTooth. that seemed to be the impressions i was getting from the posts here.
thats a shame that it is different as it really seems to be the ideal phone.
i suppose i could always just buy it anyway and then use it standard without rooting, flashing, customizing, and, and, and...
naw, forget that.
i am still undecided and less than 4 weeks to go before my birthday...

I bought it in Saudi one month ago, it works excellent. If you don't mind too much for the dev then get it. With root you can customize it with Xsense,Sense 6 and so on. Finally I find a dual sim phone for my needs.
Hi bro, I just have a question if you dont mind, can I root the dual sim M8 without loosing OTA official update, just rooting no recover no missing up the device
Well lets see here , regular sim doesnt get updates regularly like normal m8 ( from several sources including htc themselves ) , and no rom devolpment as the second post said
other than that the device is excelent and the best i've ever seen in handling 2 sims and the difference in the price isnt hight

yes, thats a good point. have you rooted yours?
ok, it looks like there is a twrp for M8 dual sim which means it can be rooted and i think that will be enough to keep me happy for now at least.
also i assume it is on the list of phones to get htc official android L so now i am talking myself back into this...
another question, can you disable either sim when its not required without taking it out?
Yes you can disable one sim from the setting without phisically removing it…

UPDATE: I decided to get the m8 dual sim today
I know if I bought the single sim version I will regret it later.
as all have said before, its sweeeet
fyi, I bought it in Carrefour in Abu Dhabi. they had a discount today as this weekend is Eid Al Adha holiday.
cost was 2249AED (about 610USD, 380GBP) and included a matching grey dot view case and 2 htc branded screen protectors (actually cost a bit less as i got points on the store card and air miles)
its the 16GB version but as i have a 64GB card to add in thats more than enough (for now...)
which i thought was a pretty good deal
(i know its only the first day but already i am missing root for titanium backup )

Finally Got the Phone

Took the plunge. Seems enough people care about the phone it will get some love. I have the Chinese model, and am so glad I waited. They just started releasing all black models instead of the nasty gold/black (if you liked that combo good on you, but I could not stand it and was going to get a white one). Here are some pics of mine. Now, 14 day wait to unlock (yay?). Wife had some good logic behind that, it is in case people return the device. Most online sellers here will only take a return within 7 days, you could do a lot to and with the phone in that time.

Hi there I have had my phone for 12 days (11 yesterday) and was able to get a unlock code instantly from the Chinese Huawei website: http://zh.ui.vmall.com/emotiondownload.php?mod=unlock&action=apply and by following the guide from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p9lite/how-to/guide-unlock-bootloader-twrp-root-t3405701. The website does loop back to the login page a few times but I just kept repeating till I managed to get to the application page for the unlock code. After filling in the form the code itself was presented onscreen as soon as I clicked apply so good luck!
Thanks for the reply. That site is just a mirror of the English one posted before. It still just kicks back a "you need 14 days..." Wondering though, did you set up the huawei account and such on your device?

Yes I did but when I tried to enter it on the website it said it was linked with another website so I created a new account from my backup email directly on the website itself. I had more luck on the Chinese site than the English one as that would not even show some options for me.

Yeah, being in China I tried the English site first then the Chinese, haha, seriously I did. Might call them and ask, they might just phone jump to the engineering area where someone will do it and give it to me. Or I suppose I could go to one of hundreds of shops that will do it. Lets see if Huawei can be good to me.

I remember being able to get a phone unlocked for next to nothing then the more the fancier phones came out the more shops charged a LOT to unlock. Good luck with contacting Huawei themselves and here's hoping they will be kind. I dunno how I managed to get a unlock code really quick as I nearly gave up then tried the Chinese site which as soon as I entered the details presented my code instantly on screen. Are you planning on Installing the Nougat beta once you have unlocked your device?

Shops here in China are really cheap still, finding one that knows what they are doing is another thing. Nope, will stick with MM until official release. I am more interested in testing, hopefully some kernels and roms will pop up soon. I am an N5 user and still will rely on that device, this is a hopeful crossover device. Been drinking whiskey tonight, sorry if I am incomprehensible.

It gets the job done paying to unlock when they know what they are doing its just the price can be a tad high. Yeah Some kernels and roms should show up soon now the source has been provided by Huawei. Haha no worries I see your enjoying yourself and your new phone lol.

The all black model is really sick! I bought the white one, so I understand your pov about the gold (nowaday I consider titanium grey being a good choice too).
You do have to set up a huawei account in the device. However, for some weird reason, I had to wait for more than 14 days and couldn't get the code to unlock it. So I bought credits in dc-unlocker tool and could get the code with this unofficial method.

Titanium Grey is the model I chose. I did not know they did a all all black and from just reading up it is only available in China as Obsidian Black.

I would of gone for Obsidian Black as well if the option had been there, the options I did have were Titanium Grey and Prestige Gold.
It only came out here about a week or two ago, the all black model. The model for the Chinese market is better, but I don;t know if it would support LTE in most places.
Well, this sucks. Got impatient and tried to use the DC unlocker method, but no way to pay them. Every method is rejected, probably because I am in China. Trying to buy some bitcoins now, will see how it goes
Darn, I am already thoroughly annoyed at this phone. Just had to jump through a million hoops, only to be waiting on a bitcoin transaction. Hopefully, once I finally get the bootloader unlocked I will feel better, but right now I am

Questions about the Uk Variant.

Ok i'm planning on getting a uk p2 with 3 and i need a few questions answered.
I would ask 3 support but you need to get a phone with them before you can ask for help.
1. Does it have warranty?
2.how long is the SoT?
3.does it come with a screen protector?
4.does it have earphones and if yes are they the rounded ones or the ergonomicish ones that samsung does
5.does it have nougat yet
6.Is it unlocked to all carriers
7.If yes can i use this sim:https://www.uswitch.com/mobiles/sim_only_deal/2d21367826963ec7f658f28505a6bf6e243c9616?comparison=c3Q9c3RhbmRhcmQmcz1tb250aGx5LWNvc3QmcD0vbW9iaWxlcy9jb21wYXJlL3NpbV9vbmx5X2RlYWxzLyZwbz0z
8.what would you say are better value the note 4 or p2, I found them for the same price £200 not sure which one to get.
Thank you very much for help it's very appreciated
Of course it has warranty. I believe 1 year.
SOT varies. There is another thread with everyone's SOT.
No screen protector.
No earphones.
No official OTA for nougat but you can install the official Lenovo one.
Yes it's completely unlocked to all carriers.
I almost went for a Note 4 (had a Note 3) but the much bigger battery and better fingerprint scanner tipped the balance for me.

Yes this really has me annoyed as the note 4 has s-pen, q-hd,and more features but the p2 has newer Soc, more battery, nougat,more fluid performance.
Hmmm... I'll have to go with the p2 as the only con of it is the average camera
Don't forget the P2 also has 4GB ram Vs 3GB in the Note 3/4.
The camera actually with normal day to use is pretty good. Was at a garden party yesterday and managed to get some really nice pictures. It's no worse than my Note 3 but no better.
If I want really high quality pictures I take my DSLR out with me!
On three website it says headphones included. But you Guys are saying it doesn't.
Also my dad has a three phone how do I get the phone without top up just show that I have a three phone. Thanx for help guys
Mine definitely didn't have any headphones.
I also have a SIM only plan with three and didn't have to buy a topup. Just provided my details and ID and they discounted it off.

[Q] Samsung Upgrade Program UK for S9/S9+

Hello,
I am part of the Samsung Upgrade Program as of last year when I purchased the Galaxy S8/S8+ through it. However, those devices launched in April last year, and the S9/S9+ are now launching in essentially March. Does this mean we have to wait the additional month to be able to upgrade or will we be able to upgrade early so we will be able to get the device on the launch day of March 9th?
Thanks for your help,
Raheem
Good Morning,
I had the the S7 Edge +, and upgraded it too last year to the S8+, I received an email with a link to go to to process the upgrade.
I've just spoken to the Samsung, on the phone, and they say the emails should be coming out soon.
Fingers Crossed

Thanks kjtaylor13, I was going to phone Samsung today as I was worried that I had missed the communication regarding the upgrade program.
Hi All,
I'm not the most patient of people when it comes to wanting new toys. So after my call to Samsung this morning I have:
1- Tweeted them asking how to upgrade
2- FB Messengered them, the same
3- Online Chat
Results So Far:
1-No Reply
2-No Reply
3-Call Sales team.
I would like a definitive answer as to when / how we can upgrade.
If I get anything I will of course post it here.
Cheers
Kevin
Me too I have been looking and can't find anything. Hope it's soon. Its my first time doing it do we have to send the chargers, headphones and those adapters back too?

I keep all the bits ready to send back in the original box. And try and keep my phone in tip top condition. But I think all they ask is that the phone is in good working condition, with minimal wear.
Had no problem with sending back my S7+

I had actually messaged via Facebook last night before I saw this thread, the response I got was that they have changes to the eligibility period for the upgrade program and the only way to find out when you can upgrade is by calling the sales team. Calling centre is a horrible experience, it's just the same repeated message, 'it will take more than 5 minutes to answer your call'... yes I know I've been waiting for over 15 mins...
I have spoken with Samsung and the financial company about the upgrade programme as like you say the S8 was released less than a year ago. Samsung didn't seem to know how the upgrade programme worked and asked me to contact the financial company who stated that we could only upgrade after 12 months of starting the agreement with them, which for me was April 17 even though I got my S8 from pre order last year??
I still haven't heard anything through their facebook messenger and I did contact them last night
FYI guys you can check if your elligable here: https://shop.samsung.com/uk/multistore/ukupgradechannel/ukupgradelounge/registration, gutted as I'm not due till the beginning of April!
Thank you so much! S9 Plus ordered

I preordered my s8+ however there was a mess up and I didn't get it until about 2 weeks after lainch, perhaps that's why I've been pushed back.

Where did you find your agreement number? It says 7 digits but mine show as 9xxxxx-001 or ref P4L-xxxxxxx (which doesn't work without the P4L either)

It was on an email I received from Close Brothers, 1XXXXXX-001 and just ignore the last 3 digits and dash.

Hi,
Mine was XXXXXXX-001 so I removed the -001 and was able to use that.
Cheers

For those who has ordered have you been able to track order on Samsung site? When I try to log in following link to track order it tells me my email is wrong

reputable sim unlock site

I currently have boost mobile and I'm wanting to switch carriers but boost is refusing to unlock my sim card. They say I don't meet the requirements yet I bought this phone from them and have had service on it for well over a year. Their excuse is that since I changed my phone number, it hasn't been a year. I saw a few websites offering to unlock it but I need to know a reputable one. Android sim unlock dot com has one of the lowest prices. Any input would be great. TIA.
this reply will likely get deleted, but www.idoneapps.com is 100% legit. ive unlocked 4 phones thru them. NoDial is the mod over there and he is as legit as they come. They also have a smaller forum over there too and are quite helpful

you bet bruh!
i just went to their forum and it looks like it just stops at the S8+ which is odd.

Hi Youdoofus,
Yes, we're still around, but we still haven't beaten the new Sprint unlock method, that's why our site hasn't been updated with the latest models yet

no idea man. motos always have been a headache for me. best thing to do is find a paid unlock site and pay for it with a CC so you can dispute the charge if they stiff ya. sim unlocks are rarely free and its usually when an employee goes rogue just before they quit/get fired LOL im betting that these unlocks are done by employees with a side hustle
