Only way to buy "new" phone is from Samsung or major carrier stores, Tmobile, sprint, vz. Anywhere else probably not new.

I'm considering picking up this phone. I know it won't have LTE but that's not really an issue for me. Any thing else to worry about? Does Samsung honor the warranty on this device in the USA?
Thanks for any help.

You should always contact the seller for warranty claims, not Samsung directly. The seller has a legally binding obligation to you to fulfill warranty claims, not the manufacturer. (Manufacturers only have that obligation to their direct clients - the retail shops)
Ok well I'd be buying it second hand. Thanks for the information.
Second hand as in from CL? if you buy it from somewhere like Expansys, they will honor the warranty by sending it to Samsung UK for you.

You guys got it all wrong If you live in the USA go to Best Buy they sell international phones I got my GT-I9300 for 600$ bucks cause they will price match amazon or new-egg and the phone have a big A$$ Sticker that says UNLOCKED in Bold letters coming from a guy who had a i747 i love the i9300 as it has way more support yes i do miss LTE but the way i see it majority of the time I have WIFI where ever I go my SGH-1747 would get hot after gaming or intense use and wasnt as snappy/responsive as the international version but im on ATT and dont have any issues at all .:good:
Thanks for all the advice.

I asked bcoz what i have heard from people here that the local market shops are selling repacked Chinese refurbished phones not original Samsung refurbished in same packing like the new one and are claiming that the phone is the new Samsung i9100. So what can we call a device that is not refurbished by Samsung but by some other source and they may have installed cheap parts to make the device work again.

I have not bought it yet.The point to post this thread was to know that what should i look for before buying the phone to make sure that the device i am buying is not a refurbished one that was refurbished by some other source than Samsung.

I have also googled about it and found out a code that shows the recondition status ##786# .Is this code working with i9100 and will this code show yes if the phone was refurbished by some other source than Samsung. I would also like know is there any Samsung website that shows warranty status like apple in which serial number can be entered to check the status or any other websites like the one i use for apple devices in which if we enter iphone serial it shows the complete information of the device like when the device was manufactured etc.
Hum....you'll know by exploring the device.
Get it from a reliable store.
You are already thinking too much.

My guess is it's probably a lesson in false economy... Seriously though, no idea - no watermarks on mine - where did you buy it 'online'?

can you tell me if that firmware is the latest.. it says it is...
Does it connect to gear manager OK? And also try and connect it to kies to see if it connects. If it does then its legit if not then u prob have bought a fake one...
My gear s doesn't have a watermark on it either.

My software version ends in NJ7, and interestingly, my IMEI SV shows '02' whereas yours shows '01' - so no, I don't think you are running the latest software version if yours is a North American Gear S. If you can't prompt an update via Gear Manager, try connecting it via your computer to Samsung Kies.
For what it's worth, especially with the advent of blacklisting, I wouldn't buy any mobile product off Kijiji unless the seller could produce an original receipt and show his account was in good standing...all of which is more trouble than it's worth...

By the way, I haven't seen a white Gear S in stores yet - maybe yours is a demo? Let us know if you get it updated and working properly.

It occurs to me that if this Gear S did come from the States, it's more than likely carrier-locked (to a U.S. carrier) - unlike the Gear S which are being sold here, all of which are being sold unlocked.
not sure, but i doubt its from the us.. update went to the watch today. everything started to work. i called rogers for a sim. i'll let you guys know when it gets here.

i signed up for a 5$ a month data tier plan.. it assigns a number and the guy at rogers said it will get text.. but unsure if voice will work.
i'm under no contract so i have nothing to lose to try and all to gain.

When you say water marks on the face, you mean the numbers?
I suspect they're indicative of it being an engineering sample or some other sort of pre-production unit.
thats one of the international variants R750W, there are a few out there. so far as the watermarks, definitely looks like a demo build.

The Gear Ss being sold here in Canada (at least the one I got from Best Buy) are R750W. Only sold unlocked too, BTW, and currently on sale at best Buy for $350 CAD, or about $300 USD.

The person in post #101 of THAT thread. Yes BestBuy is selling the white one Exclusive to AT&T.
I want to buy one on ebay because i saw the price very considerable. However the thing is it said the phone is locked to 2 networks and one of them is O2. I would like to know if the phone can be unlocked or not because if i buy it and cant use with other networks sim then it will be a big problem for me. Thanks if you can help

I ordered it from ebay and might receive in on the 22nd or 23rd, and i am not a customer so i am looking for another place to have it unlocked. But since you said they can do it for a price as well, can i just go to any local O2 store and ask for it? That would be easier for me instead of doing it on my own.

Anyone know where the Galaxy s9+ SMG965 F/ds comes from? I bought it off eBay from a verified seller because they had a pretty good deal and everything on it seems to be functioning but there's no OEM unlock button at all and it just seems fake the charger that came with it was super bulky and had 3 prongs and the bottom one was plastic for some reason

Hmm
start with dialing *#1234#. this should tell you model and what CSC is on it
put the phone on download mode, it should tell you on that screen the model, I believe I heard that is difficult to fake that boot screen
Forgot to mention, connect the phone to to your pc through smart switch, If it is a fake it should pick it up
That adapter plug sounds like a European plug or maybe the Chinese plug. If you watch the YouTube video unboxing from Maxx Lee I bet it's the same one he has.

Just read on bay that the model does not support any cdma bands at all, Verizon sprint etc. also said it comes with an int charger but a usa adapter should have been included. stated it is factory unlocked.

International version only work on GSM . Sprint, Verizon are CDMA. If you want one that work on both, you need the U.S. unlocked version. SM-G965u1, snapdragon chip.

Yeah I'll try it, I just plugged it into my computer and it came up as a S9+ but when it got delivered to my house there was no shipping label or anything on it it was just a taped up box xD that's another reason why I thought it was sketchy but at any rate do you know if the 965F can be rooted? Ik it has to be an exynos but is there a setting I can check for that? I looked in about phone and didn't see it but I also checked for OEM unlock in the developer settings and it didn't exist so I might just be overlooking them lol

Easy to buy, samsung canada will of course not provide warranty coverage for non Canadian devices. I don't worry about it though, never gave a damn about warranty on any device ive ever had.

965F is exynos one.
You can check more details from phone info samsung android app too
Just an FYI, but the power adaptor is for British wall sockets.
To the uninitiated, it's bulky and over-engineered, but that's not the whole story!

so question, since it will not work on the sprint network and i bought it on ebay while they had that sale on it, what can i do with it? i called sprints customer service and they said to bring it into a store and theyll be able to just swap it out after they test it again and confirm it wont work but when i called a store at my local mall they told me sprint most likely wont swap it out because it has no use to them since its the international version and will not work on their network and if i brought it in theyd still charge me $30 for a new sim card to test it out, can you not just swap sim cards anymore? and the customer service person said they made a note on my account and the store representative told me that a corporate store (a real one) might be able to help me more but he doubts it, am i stuck with this useless phone? and if they do allow me to turn it in will the BL be locked on the new one? any and all advice is appreciated im really in a jam with this one lol
