So last Friday i went to my local att store with the full intention of getting the Note but naturally i wanted to try having some fun with the reps. I told them i was wanting a new phone and then asked them what is the best phone. Turns out the iphone 4s is the best. When i asked why i was told it has siri and a retina display. (no one there could tell me why the retina display was so amazing) At that point i decided not to attempt to troll them as it would have been pointless. Fast forward and im at the checkout buying the Note. While checking out the rep tells me how the phone has a 1080p screen. At this point i couldn't help myself i asked if it was better than the iphones retina..short anwser no it is not. Anyways im now a proud owner of the only 1080p galaxy note. lol

ATT employees get a bigger commission on iphones if im not mistaken...idrones
the resolution is not 1080p its 1280x800
its a little better then 720p but still better then the iphone
Love how store employees have no idea. Once asked what processor a phone had to be told a good one. When I asked what they meant I was told the processor was 'at least a few megabytes' lol. Talk about knowing your stuff!

Haha I love messing with the reps there never gets old. I was there last week and the sales rep trying to sell me the phone was unaware of the different processor the ATt has over the international model to comidate LTE. I could write a book from going in there and talking to them. My gf always tells me to take it easy before we head in lol.
Best part was when i was walking out someone was complaining to the rep about being throttled. I noticed he had the infuse and after the rep told him they couldn't do anything about it i made it a point to tell him how to fix it. Once again the rep told the man what i was saying wouldnt work and against the tos. Needless to say he is no longer throttled lol.

I was at a corporate one. I don't mean to sound like an ass i just think its funny. To be honest if i worked there i would recommend iphones and act ignorant of cell phone tech. The vast majority of people would just get confused otherwise. When people get confused they feel dumb and when they feel dumb they get offended and end up leaving and making their purchase elsewhere.

Not true at all. The money made is from selling data plans and accessories. Doesn't matter what phone they sell. Actually iPhones cost AT&T more money.

AT&T corporate store employees make more on iPhones, indirect agents (authorized retailers) make nothing on iPhone sales.. not even the data plans. So it really depends what type of store you're in. Personally I enjoy when someone knows the tech they're talking about. Although it is quite funny watching people try to convince me the iPhone is better than everything else.

You have some more research to do. The skyrocket & note are unique in this way.
Just remember that for most people that work at those places they could give a **** about most everything there, they are just trying to do their job. Those stores have high turnaround in alot of cases and employees aren't required to know everything about devices.
And technically going by ppi the 4S is better. He couldn't tell you why though. And i would rather have the Notes screen that the tiny iPhone any day.

Hello,
I'm very new to XDA-Dev and flashing custom ROMs on Android. I apologize if I'm breaking the rules by posting here and about this model... Doing some searching around these forums I saw that most of the discussion on this Korean model of the i717 was occurring here, and also that nobody is going to pay attention to this model until a "bounty" is offered.
I ended up getting this phone as a gift on a trip to Seoul. Unfortunately I've found that 3G is not working on this model as SKT has apparently locked it to push 4G in South Korea, despite the fact that the hardware is there for 3G. This does indeed appear to be the case as I'm only getting a "G" symbol and the speeds are indicative of GPRS.
I could just buy an American model of the phone, but from what I can see there are many people in the community who want to see the same things I do, so instead of spending money on an American model for myself I want to offer a bounty to any devs to benefit the whole community of foreign SHV-E160S owners.
So here is my "bounty" for anyone willing to help me Americanize this phone:
For US$500: A custom rom of clean ICS i717 to get rid of stock korean apps and the 80 char limit on sms messages. Right now I've seen some people get some success but then the korean buttons dont work (as American model has slightly different front-facing buttons I suppose).... Hopefully if you can get this to work it will be possible to get other custom ROMs for i717 to work.
For US$800: Remove 3G Limitation from SHV-E160S so I get 3G/HSPA. This phone has the same pentaband hardware for 3G as the i717, it is just carrier locked.
For US$2000: Not even sure if this is possible amongst xda-dev community yet, but theoretically it should be possible to "flash" the LTE radio/modem to use a different band. QCOM produces the same chip for both countries as far as I know... the radios are just configured by firmware to specific bands.
This is money I am willing to pay out of my own pocket. If any other owners of SHV-E160 would like contribute to this bounty (and are serious) to attract more attention from devs, post here and I will edit the thread to include your contribution here.
I can provide whatever you need from the phone and test on it given you point me to directions on how to extract whatever that may be and what to test, any equipment I may need to buy etc..
at those prices why not just buy a new phone?

I'm mainly doing this for the community of SHV-E160 owners for one thing, and then coming up with a method to flash the LTE radio to use a different band is something that is good for the entire community of LTE phone owners, hence the large bounty I'm offering... So I'm not sure why you guys are against me offering money to figure stuff out that benefits more than me...

Well not sure if you're rich or whatnot but to offer that much is just not a wise financial move when you can get another note without the problems you are having.
Also not much E160 people are here.
You best bet is to get another note and save that money or donate it to charity.

Well no developer would do such a transaction without a trusted agreement. It would be far easier to collect payment than tracking down 50 five dollar bounty donations.

Its possible to change i think but it's illegal so you won't find any help here. Best thing todo is go through ebay and get a refund / chargeback credit card and goto the police. Had this happen to me and the police charged the guy - thats why i only buy directly when it comes to phones.

Sorry to hear you got scammed. Without it necessarily being a stolen phone, it seems that a popular thing is for someone to get the handset as an upgrade, then sell it and a while later declare it lost... Phone gets blocked, insurance gives them a new one and buyer is stuffed.
Hope you can get your money back. Go through Ebay.

no, actually this is the most common scam....people sell their phone and report it stolen not realising it'll be blocked. Your seller most likely didn't sell a stolen phone which could be a protracted case, but most likely sold their own......open and shut fraud case.
The block will definitely not be lifted....it is now just an expensive door stop....you need to pursue an ebay complaint...they will involve the police

sorry to hear what happened. I havnt experienced it myself but Im sure your mad and upset.
I think it might be a good idea to name the seller so we can stay clear away from them, not particularly for me but for others on here.
As for what you can do, I would take the advice from the others here and persue further via Ebay.
All the best buddy
Definitely go through ebay and get a refund, there is no way to unblock it. if you did it would be illegal.
Yeah this is an all too common scan more so on that horrible Gumtree website but it does happen on eBay as well, basically if you paid via PayPal you will get refunded but it'll most likely be a long drawn out process, i rarely use eBay and PayPal anymore their fees are outrageous and if anything happens to go wrong you'll be sending endless emails,etc,etc and you'll be lucky to get a resolution yet they are quick enough to debit any fees that you may owe them cun*s the lot of them.
Hope you get sorted anyway, avoid all these websites like the plague and only buy from reputable websites.
Thank you all
well i hope the police will get him

FALSE ! Will be blocked in the whole Europe ! Also it's illegal ! Would you like somebody steal your phone and get out of the country ? Saying this things on forum makes you an accomplice to a robbery.
Request a refund via Ebay and still tell the police. You can also ask your provider if they have any information about your phone and how was blocked. Good luck !
if you paid via PayPal, open a dispute through there rather than ebay itself.

This is all besides the point, but this feature was promised to us so we should get what was promised and as far as i know misguiding people or misleading them to believe something is for sure just to make a sale is against the law, anyways that is what happened to me. Hopefully they are forced into this.
In the first place the international device was updated with the enact same thing (Jellybean 4.1.2 Update) only they did in fact receive multiwindow on their device. What is the problem? why is this such a complicated thing for them to do? if they did it for one device they should be able to do it with our American Version device. I think they get Customers hopes up, show them how the multitasking/multiwindow would perform on their device, and most importantly what exactly is multitasking and the benefit of the feature. Then you have numerous customers that are very interested and eager on having this feature, but personally i think they do it on purpose so they can force customers to buy a more expensive device that is mufti-window compatible. Just to get them into another phone that's more expensive and to get as much money out of them as quickly as they can, that's how i see it, why else would they have such a big issue putting it on our device? i'm sure it's not nearly as impossible as they are making it seem.

Show me where on Samsung's website, their official press release of the update or the product page that says we were to get multi-window.
Just because sites reported it but were wrong does not make it a promise from Samsung. SamMobile is not Samsing and doesn't report on their behalf.
So no false advertising is present. Samsung did not mis-represent nothing. It was 3rd party websites that made the error. So the claim against them would be thrown out on that alone.

Like a phone life-time counter or something?

I don't think that there is a way to find that out. You just have to risk it or to leaf it.

As a matter of fact i did find a way.
There is this website called "sndeep.info" that you can put any phone's IMEI code or use the phone serial number and it will give you the information about it in case it's an original phone.
If you get a different model or wrong info then that phone is not original and it's using a fake IMEI code.
I can confirm the site working for Iphones, samsung, HTC and LG. But it does support more brands too.
Just thought you guys will find it useful ^^
