didnt do any flashes
fake clones hasnt logos samsung on top..i have and the same shape from behind of the origianl..it came with sticker closed in box !! accessories..etc
actually the faked one I had seen before was also bought in Malaysia
I just read your post again and found that you bought it from Malaysia too
I am not sure whether it is fake or not
the one I had seen before also had Samsung logo on the top [but the logo is a little bit bigger and untidy]
the phone box is the same as real one
I dunno about the accessories inside
oops...
there is one thing I just remembered
there was a sim card tray to insert sim card
the original s3 doesn't have a sim card tray
do you have the human features [ smart stay, direct call, etc] in the settings
does the lockscreen has ripple effect
the faked one I had seen before doesn't have these features

Your phone has aosp rom and real sgs3 comes with touchwiz rom, so it's definitely fake.
How much did you pay for it?

Hi fellas,
I have recently bought a new HTC HD2 phone and it arrived a few days ago from Hong Kong.
Other than checking IMEI, is there any way to find out if the phone is a fake/replicate one from the phone appearance, etc.?
If I had known there are any fake HTC phones, I would have bough from more reputable retailers. I really didn't think the modern technology of HTC Hd2 can be faked...
Any idea would be appreciated.
If you can upload pictures that would be great. If its from Hong Kong and you bought it on eBay for a super low price its most likely fake. But you can tell if its real when while operating it the phone should feel like a badass piece of equipment. Or compare it to the people who show theirs on YouTube.

Look at the difference between Revisions of the two different parts of the box:
img17.imageshack.us/img17/287/img5655d.jpg ( REV B) look at the red arrow
img571.imageshack.us/img571/5381/img5656m.jpg (REV A ) look at the red arrow
Why they should differ in Revision? Is your phone boxing is the same?
--------------
And two pics from from the battery section.
img585.imageshack.us/i/img5658.jpg/
Is the IMEI stickers color inside of your phone is grayish? Or is it white? ( mine is grayish )
img38.imageshack.us/img38/4948/img5659n.jpg
Is the only word on your battery is "HTC"?
Thanks buddy
Our phone boxes are 500% different, when i get home i'll upload a picture of mine for you to see.
As for the phone itself i noticed a few differences b/w yours and mine, (NOTE) phones can get modified by the company and be released in a new batch to fix errors from first release.
But in the picture where the back of your phone was showing, at the bottom left theres a red dot.. On mine it's yellow, at the very top of that theres a white dot, mine is black. Small variations nothing too drastic, but as i said, when i get home (Currently in school) i will edit this post with pictures of mine.
The battery is the same

Thanks mate. But I would delete the last image because all your phone specifications are visible...
Other than the box, our phones are almost similar.
I just tried to upgrade my ROM and received this message: The serial number you’ve provided appears to be invalid. Please try again.
So I am still worried.
What's the worse that can happen?

If you meant your phone specifications in the images provided, I have heard they can clone your phone using your phone specifications. So I would delete it soon!
So what is your conclusion, real or fake?

So they have the same form factor, same processor, RAM, etc. And it's hard to spot a fake?

Sorry to bump, but compare the OS software. Can you do the same as another HD2?

I don't know the region, and apparently unlocked and no-branded
trust me, if it would be really a fake, the differences would be definitelly bigger.
just to say, mine looks exactly like urs. the battery not, but ur battery is just a newer version than mine my friends got the same...
oh and the box looks like mine too, but i dont know my revision
lets just say, if its a t8585 and runs as it should, and if u can flash custom roms, run android and so on, its real. and i really think its real
EDIT: fakes look like this: http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/06/keepin-it-real-fake-htc-hd-too/

New big move from Samsung ! After modifying the inside of the hardware with bumping the clock speed to 1.2Ghz, Samsung has now taken care of the outside :
A traditional Samsung logo on the front

Samsung has even updated all the photos of its microsite => Here and There
Well Nice photoshop indeed sammy eh
Personaly I still prefer the "old" one , its slick and minimalist design attracted me more. But hey, not that much of a modification btw the lack of this logo on the front was initially surprising.
I bet that this logo'ed version will be the retail version and that therefore it will be equiped with the final 1.2Ghz processor, that is pure logic from me I have no source
comments... go !
EDIT : LMFAO GSMArena just copied the title of my thread

Hmm, good point. That is definitely something to lookout for.

Looks much better without it, but now along with this logo, there will also be another one for the carrier right? Samsung should put their foot down like Apple and tell the carrier to keep their logo off the phone haha.
Bah... it looked sweeter without the logo, but at least I won't get, " Is that an Iphone?"

So you can advertise to everyone and yourself when you're showing off you're phone.
From a business standpoint, this was a smart move. When you have a product people obviously like, you want to put your name on it wherever possible so everytime you see or use it, you can connect it with that company.
Why you all not like it? it look too empty at the front without any logo...

U r right for showing it to others,but im not the classic serbian Iphone or nokia fan that the moment he/she sits somewhere in the club/bar/... puts his/her phone on table to show off.I like minimalistic sleek design so for that for me its better to have blank front like on prototypes(its better ot have x-files front than comercial logo banner front ).Even descret silver is ok,but totaly contrast drechy white is bad design imo.About connecting to company,i always know what im holding so that falls into water from my perspective,and if some1 need proof of company u always have samsung logo on the back so front logo is too much showing of
PS-also meny people in serbia Samsung name connects to home appliances more then with good mobile phones

try samsungdive.com n raise an FIR with police..
Had you set up the tracking with the Samsung app? or maybe with Avast! anitivirus?
If you've not set up any tracking I'm not sure what you can do :crying:
Always first thing.....
1.....alert provider
2......file a report with police
3.....if you haven't enabled tracker that about all you can do unfortunately.
If you had a stock Samsung ROM, you'd have Samsungdive. With that it is possible to locate your phone ANYWHERE in the world, and you could have found it by now.
However, some poop-heads find Samsung Dive and the Samsung Framework are unecessary and remove them from their custom ROMs.
Samsung Dive is one of the most valuable additions to the stock ROMs and one of the TOP 5 reasons I keep my phones with stock ROMs, although rooted.
Another choice is to use apps like "Where's my Droid" (US$ 5), and similar apps, and although they aren't as efficient as Samsung Dive, they can help you locate your phone.
You can try a remote install of plan b - be persistent, it sometimes takes many attempts to get it on your phone.

Samsung Dive is worthless, if someone wants to keep the phone. A 30 seconds Google search shows how to perform a factory reset that erases all SamsungDive configuration. A thief has just to press three keys when booting the phone. It works even when the phone is protected by PIN or something else.

Guys...almost a month has passed....I tried samsung dive but still no success....Although in my google account I see my stolen s3 is stil showing up as one of devices ...I filed fir a month ago...still no feedback by cops...feeling quite sad...
If your phone is using Google location services you can try logging into Google latitude from a pc/other device and looking at the location history.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Sorry but if your device has not surfaced within a month, it's very possible that it either does not work anymore (broken, lost and left in rain, ...) or that the thief/finder actually bothered to factory-reset the device (as someone else said... like 5 seconds of work)
As sorry as I am to say it, but I believe you can give up hoping to get it ever back.
This happened to me as well. Unfortunately I was never able to find the phone. Another thing that can be done is try to block IMEI number. However not all carriers want to do this as I lernt. I also send the email to Samsung and ask the if they could add the number to internetional black list but I am not sure they did it. Sorry about your loss. I know how it feels.
Guys just suggest me a new device.Sad as it feels I need u r opinions.
M not gonna buy s3 again bcoz I will feel the pain of losing it.
I am against htc bcoz of battery , lg is crappy and motorola/sony don't worked so far for me
before coming to love android with my gs3.
Though suggestions are welcome.
I like to do heavy usage,browsing,gaming ,developing etc on my android.

Okay so managed to hardbrick my phone (wrong pit file, yes my fault).
-The only option is sending it to Samsung for repair, but im a little worried with a download counter of 27! Would they be able to see the download count? (I dont think they will as the things totally gone, but I have no idea) I presumed that they use ODIN in the factory, so would pick up the count on that screen, but as the thing wont even go to that screen, will they see it?
TO MAKE CLEAR: I am not asking about how to fix it myself or anything like that. Couldnt find the info whilst searching: did have a look, nothing addressed download count like above.
Cheers.
No they will just replace board or nand chip so either way they will likely not be checking binary counter.
Bearer of bad news here......

Well if your upgrade preference is N4 or XZ.....go with the Xperia......the N4 has no memory card slot, and the battery isn't "pullable". Whereas Sony are one of the most open and cooperative organizations when it comes to working with the dev community = plenty of stable cusROMs for Sony phones.....

Well, sent it off, hoped for the best. Thought id let you know what happened:
-Got it back today, fully works, and the counters reset. Running the Nordic Jellybean with the new Siyah 6 beta 5.
Pro: my wallet is safe
Con: No new phone
Just need to make sure the DL counters now kept on zero, so excessive use of the jig and old bootloader to come!
Lol...just be careful when using a jig as I've heard (cmiiw) that they *can* "super brick" your phone.....
And BTW....congrats on avoiding a potentially nightmare inducing bill...

Okay so managed to hardbrick my phone (wrong pit file, yes my fault).
-The only option is sending it to Samsung for repair, but im a little worried with a download counter of 27! Would they be able to see the download count? (I dont think they will as the things totally gone, but I have no idea) I presumed that they use ODIN in the factory, so would pick up the count on that screen, but as the thing wont even go to that screen, will they see it?
TO MAKE CLEAR: I am not asking about how to fix it myself or anything like that. Couldnt find the info whilst searching: did have a look, nothing addressed download count like above.
Cheers.

Perfect example of people who shouldn't own Android or Smart Phones, stick with the little $50 flip phones with the buttons and try not to break it by dropping it on the street while a car runs over it.

-No no! I meant the phone didnt have a download count anymore - but then I realised this was to be expected:L. Sorry lads.
i just change my phone, made a bargain on a S2...
so my last phone(galaxy W) was runing the cyanogem mod 9
with i was happy with, but now on the s2 i am ok with the stock rom, but small things are missing...
lock button as shoter buton:
you can use the lock button to take pictures, what is very usefull when you need an elder( dont take badly folks) to take a picture of you. this on the camera app of cyanogen dosent looks like a great thing but you miss when you dont have...
Long press on volume change music:
this one i miss a lot, change music on lock mode not awake the device with a simple long press, bravissimo...
play music is not saving my plylists:
this is an issue more then a miss, every time i turn my phone off the playlists forget the music who is on the external card(in my case all musics)
there is a soft or hardproblem???
can i install those things with some kind of app, apk or zip file?
i am using stock 4.1.2 rooted and no CWM
thx
This topic reminds me that I really need to start travelling thru europe, I wanna come across all those cheap S2 wandering around over there....
Yes OP, that's what this post is about, nothing more.
Sent from the little guy
yes is cheap, about 150 you got an used one, no problem...
but is not about this the post, sorry if i am new here and you are important dev on this section, but my questions are there if cannot help plz dont start with trollalla...
can I install those things on a stock rom or only with cyanogen???
and about my problem with tha playmusic can anyone HELP???
150 huh? I could get one for that price in argentina, but I don't trust em.
BTW, re-read your OP, amaze yourself about what you're saying and what you're asking.
Repeat till you become aware of the awesome device you got in front of you.

Lol, but I believe he is asking for mods and he couldn't just word it right, like volume rocker mod, and for converting the lock button to camera photo shoot button, OP there are mods for volume rocker feature, for photo shoot I don't know but I suppose it's quite possible, you just need to search for mods suitable and made for your version of firmware.
Edit :Most mods are made for deodexed roms though.
Lock button = Power Button
And the Play list loss might be a bug, maybe even related to media scanner issue.

He misses the camera button from his galaxy w, are you kidding me?
Which one is the galaxy w anyway? Does it even have a camera?
And there's this thing called "
Timer", which was created to erradicate old people from the photo snap world.

Gastonw, buddy killing people by making them laugh is still a crime,
anyway this will answer your questions
http://m.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_w_i8150-4114.php
And I think he means that in his custom rom for that device there were mods like, volume rocker, power button as camera button.. Lolololololololol... He just worded it in a confusing way.
Edit :That eradicate old people comment is literally killing me.

first, i was not complaing about your beloved phone, dont take it personaly but if you think i ofend you , better search for a girlfriend or a doctor if you dont like girls, dude...
second, i was talking about MOD yes, sorry i didnt found the word, since english is not my mother language i found myself on the rigth to make this a honest mistake...
A mod that the lock button, when the camera app is open, becaume a shutter
and a mod where the volume buttons, when the phone locked, be a music back/foward...
is that possible on THE MAGNIFICIENT SII???
BTW: i dont worship phones or gods, i sayed in the first post why i changed.
That's the best come back you came up with?
You're like 15, aren't ya?
Anyway, we know what you meant.

Depends on what stock rom you use. In the app section you can fint some mods but are sistem locked (they are different for 4.0.4 , 4.1.2 and their builds lsd, lsn etc.). You need to do a search for your exact rom and version for mod. And try to go for odex because of the stock rom (any mods you install).
