Hi everyone, I have been stung now three times buying S-Pens, they all seem to be fake. From Hyper Direct Ltd online to twenty_four_seven_shop on eBay.
Ebay one was awful, button didn't work, tips not removable, while the Hyper Direct one was very convincing - only realised when there was no pressure sensitivity.
Amazon too seems full of fakes and Samsung itself don't carry them anymore. So can anyone recommend a reputable shop that doesn't sell fakes, or fakes that are pressure sensitive!!!
Thanks
John
The NotePro Spen is identical to the one in the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition, so you can also look for that one.
(The Note 3 pens are shorter and will get stuck in the Spen slot. But they do work.)
An option is to simply walk into a Samsung Service Center and ask the staff. They can usually dig up an old Note 10.1 2014(!) pen somewhere, as those were far more popular.
Alternatively, if you don't mind keeping it separate, you can also buy the Wacom Bamboo Feel For Galaxy Note.

Thanks for that,
Didn't know service centres were open to the public like that. Ill try and find one here in Belfast.
The bamboo feel is also very hard to find here in the UK and at least £30 not including postage from US. So I can't really justify that price.
Thanks

Should be listed here: http://www.samsung.com/uk/support/support-centres/#nearestStore
Sometimes they're inside provider shops, but they're independent stores.
Ah, yes, the Bamboo it is quite expensive. I paid 30 euro's for it two years ago at Staples, and that was just the basic, not the Carbon. They're made by Wacom, so it's not really surprising.
I don't think they make the Bamboo Feel anymore, the new one is the Bamboo Smart For Samsung Galaxy Note. Still bloody pricey, though.

The smart is not certified for the note pro I'm afraid.

Anything that works on a Note 3 works on a NotePro. They're identical (in terms of specs).
Did not know that - that might make it easier.
Samsung centre quoted me at least £30 for a replacement stylus, and interestingly, about £30 for an original 30 pin cable for an old 10.1 2012 note I have!!
Not the greatest advert for Samsung ever!

Hey guys
Anybody spotted a " STYLUS " for T-mobile Touch Pro 2 ???
On eBay? Any website? I'm in Australia.
I would be nice to have an extra one.
Cheers
Are you talking about T-Mo USA version? Or is there a TMo Aussie vesion?
On the T-Mobile USA TP2 forum a guy posted that he ordered the OEM stylii (a 3-pack) from HTC:
http://forums.t-mobile.com/tmbl/board/message?board.id=Touch_pro2&message.id=2240#M2240
He re-posted after he received them and said that they're "an exact match" -- they are OEM.
Expensive, though...but this was a month ago, so maybe they've made it (or knock-offs) to ebay.
Thanks

Ordering Stylus from HTC
I called the HTC number from the post on T-mobile forums
HTC Customer Care
1-888-716-3594
M-F, 8am – 8pm EST
and was told "we have no t-mobile compatible stylus" at all.
Which of course was a surprise.
They told me to contact daydeal.com who would "definately" had them for the T-mobile.
I went to the daydeal website and there was NO t-mobile stylus for the tp2.
I called up daydeal.com and they confirmed that they do NOT have any.
So I called HTC back - luckily got a different rep who happily took my order for a 3-pack and it will be shipped out tomorrow.
Just a note of caution before they send you on a wild goose chase.

I'm still waiting for the stylus with a pen attached haha.

here it is.....http://www.daydeal.com/product.php?productid=14592&cat=4471
Yeah, man but I need the original one incase the one the came with the phone is missing.
: )
Any definitive answers to what stylus will work (not should, but will!), ie, fit perfectly also preferably matching the mocha color...??? There's too many posts saying xyz should fit, and most of the people who ordered have styli that don't fit right!
i cant believe people still use their styluses...umm, styli...the only time i use mine is to reset my device...
Found replacement styli for tmobile version at boxwave:
http://www.boxwave.com/accessories/t-mobile-touch-pro2-stylus_3668.htm
Got a screen protector at the same time, also very nice. easy to install.
does it fit exactly like stock?

bump - anyone know if the 3rd party styii actually fit like stock?
I Just Ordered 3 For $20 Off Boxwave They Are Stock Stylii. Cant WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just to let y'all know - this stylus fits for sure, no maybes or shoulds, it fits! The color is pretty good too - it might be a slight smidge off, but it's very close anyways.
Go to My T-Mobile. Shop>Accessories>Extras
HTC Touch Pro 2 Stylus - 3 for $9.99.
Nice - they must have just added that recently. Hopefully they'll have some more goodies soon.. like cases and screen protectors..
I bought two of the Boxwave Stylii with built in pens for the TMOUS TP2, and they fit the phone perfectly.
You guys think this will work for the TMO version?
http://cgi.ebay.com/FOR-HTC-TOUCH-P...wItemQQptZPDA_Accessories?hash=item5638d211d7
I might just take the plunge, although it's very specific in the description that it's for CDMA models and Fortress.
Uhh... maybe or maybe not - but why bother for $6 more and for 3 stylus you can get the OEM from tmo... there's lots of threads about stylii *almost* fitting - not good enough for me.
The one I posted comes with a pen on the other tip.
So, I was looking for cases, etc, and went to walmart online site and did a search for Samsung Galaxy Note 3 cases and found a bunch of stuff. yes, their tag ging sucks and I got a bunch of results that included S3 and iphone (??).
However, amongst all the irrelevant results there were a lot of cases and charging cables (does anyone know of anywhere to get some of those proprietary cables cheap, by the way?) on the walmart site. Almost all of them have free shipping.
Oh, and they're by some no name brand, "Insten".
Are these any good accessories and has anyone bought them?
Just any advice would be most appreciated.
I would like to know this as well..one seen the off brand online products for the note 3 but Walmart stores refuses to acknowledge the note 3 existence in its stores ..no accessories what so ever ..at least not where I've checked ..I might take a gamble on a few charging cables though

To be fair I can understand why Walmart acts like the Note 3 doesn't exist. It's because their customers aren't the type that would buy such an device like this. I mean watch their TV ads. Their typical advertised smart phone is low to mid end ones. So why bother trying to carry accessories for a product that their typical customers have no interest in.

Yeah on Walmart.com they are. But from the customers I see in their stores not to mention a few reactions I've gotten when using my Note 3 while at Walmart let's just say that the Note 3 might be a bit too much for them.
Heck just glance at People Of Walmart sometime. You really want those people carrying around our beloved Note 3? Be honest now.

I understand what you're saying but they carry other high end smartphone accessories for phones such the 5s...The moto. X..LG g2..The htc one ..and when the note 2 was still dominant I got plenty of cases from the store itself ...it's really not a clear reason why they don't support the note 3 in stores

Yeah but the difference is that Walmart carries the iCrap 5S in store. I've never seen the Note 3 itself at my local Walmart stores let alone the Note 2 for that matter.
Yea I've never seen the note 3 in there but I've definitely seen the note 2 for sale in store and other high end devices and accessories for them ...weird .I guess it depends on the location

The iPhone for good, bad, or otherwise, is where it is because of marketing. The device isn't any better, it's actually, in a lot of ways worse, but how many people who can't even turn on their computers buy it? They do because they don't want to know what is happening under the hood. Yes, the device and all accessories are more expensive, but 99.9% of the people buying it are clueless.
There are no walmarts in NYC, so I wasn't sure if they carried any N3 or accessories for it. Now, you guys have answered my question, thanks.
I just picked up a Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 10.1" screen.
My fave screen protector company does not make one for this tablet. but they do make one for the Samsung Note Tab 10.1" 2014 version.
They appear to be the exact same. Anyone have any advise before I dump $20 on it?

I'm sure that theres one for 2 dollars or less in ebay... i bought one from ebay to my phone and was 18 dollars cheaper than normal store
I know this is a bit late and you might have bought it already but my initial thought is that it is compatible since the button is in the same location. The only thing I would say might be a deal breaker is the note 10.1 has the extra sensor next to the camera unlike the Tab 4 only has the camera so that might be the deciding factor if it will interfere or not.
Hello my fellow Aussies,
This thread is an open discussion from the day you've ordered your Note 7!
Feel free to share ideas like roms, tips, accessories, past & current experiences etc.
Having created a thread like this for my Galaxy S6 it was a great place for information, ecspecially for software/carrier updates.
I'll start off by saying that I'm very excited to owning my first Galaxy Note. Reason for changing to the Note is the awesome design, bigger screen & battery life, which was terrible on the S6. I've pre-ordered it in black, because once you go black your gonna need a wheel chair (White Chick's movie joke) ??
And also ordered the Spigen neo hybrid crystal clear case.
Hi, great idea!
All threads i read are US based....mainly.
I have ordered my Black note 7 direct through Samsung online, so at the moment due to arrive 19th. I wish it would ship early....but highly doubt it.
I have also ordered genuine Samsung screen protector and a clear case. Not sure if i will like the case, had one on my Note 5, and didn't like the feel in hand.
Has anyone seen an OUTRIGHT pre-order deal that has the gear fit 2?

No. Only deals I've seen available to AUS have the 256GB Micro SD card. I was personally hoping for a Gear VR deal
Anyone going to get the Dubai dual sim model?

I was in two minds about colour. My Note 5 I got in Silver, for something diffferent. I like i, but i dont like how prominest marks are, i have a clear film cover on the back and any scratches/marks show up a lot. This time i have opted for the Black on the Note 7
just pre-ordered mine from Telstra with the SD card, I decided to get the black one. It is a thing of beauty.
Sadly still need to wait 9 more days
Fingers are crossed for early shipping!!
I eagerly awaiting June 19th.
I pre-ordered a black one on Sunday and they that I would get a case and screen protector besides 256GB SD-Card.
I also got a SGP Neo Hybrid Gunmetal case 5 days ago.

Sweet thanks man ?
I initially ordered one from buymobile then read some reviews on them and went into panic mode and cancelled the order. It was $200 cheaper than Samsung and Hardley Normal but no MicroSD deal so I cancelled it pretty much straight away. I want warranty with this phone and I think with the outright buy price it's worth having warranty although I never needed it with my international Note 4 I got through yatango. Never needed it on any handsets, touch wood.
I then went to the Samsung site and black onyx was sold out so I ordered one from Harvey Norman. 8 or 9 days left but not counting. Much. lol
Have ordered a UAG cover in black for the 7. I've had them on my last two Samsungs and they are brilliant cases, a little bulky but saved me a few times with a few drops, pretty good asset if you ask me.''Really interested in what model of handset we will get, starting to think it's the end of ROMs for me but you never know and that's why I'm still here.
I have to admit that I was extremely disappointed that Samsung Australia opted not to bring the Coral Blue color and for me this was a deal breaker, after waiting so long to replace my Note Edge and eagerly reading every single leak from eveleaks and onleaks and looking at the beautiful blue color that was rendered by eveleaks and was voted as the most popular color in a poll that was done by Ausdroid and they decide not to bring it....for once you could choose a different color than the usual boring silver/black/atrocious gold and they opted not to bring it grrrrrr!!!! damn you Samsung Australia!!!! I was ready to forgive for not having 6gb of RAM and 4000mAh battery as was leaked heavily months before the launch but not to bring the blue color was the deal breaker, you've stuffed it up S.A!!!
4000 megahertz battery huh? That's a pretty high frequency.

Wow, Black sold out on the AUS Samsung site? Glad i got in early there.
Same as you, on my internations Note 5 that i got online, they did have a warranty, but never had to use it. I looked at buying the note 7 from the same international supplier, but it was only $200 cheaper and i though to myself if anything does go wrong, i can go straight back to Samsung without any huge issues.
Do we know if the 930G is the Australian specific model?
Went to pre-order on the Samsung website and it's only showing the 128GB version available. Spoken to Samsung on Live Chat and apparently it's the only version available in the UK?!
Probably not sure when it will be available here in Australia but I am really excited if I end up picking this up I may start work on getting a device tree and twrp built and work on developing custom roms.
i preordered the plus version yesterday in germany with 256 gb but wifi only. will i see if i can support some custom roms for it i think good base is what jesec was doing for s20

I talked with samsung and the biggest e-commerce in norway. I was told that for some countries it takes some time before the 256gb model is available. According to Komplett.no it should be available here in norway soon for preorder
I pre-order yesterday the S7+ 128GB Wifi Black by the Samsung site in the Netherlands.
I was looking forward to ordering the S7+ with 4G/5G with 8GB and 256GB storage but guess what? It's not available in the UK only the 6GB 128GB model which is inferior to my Tab S6 so I'm going to pass on this model which is a shame. What is wrong with Samsung UK?!!!
Same here - I won't be buying one in the UK until Samsung release the 8GB RAM version. I imagine that may never happen, though, as they never released the higher spec Tab S4 in the UK either.
This will bring me back to sammy after Huawei screwed its US based customers on the M5 series. My prior device was the Note Pro, and i loved it, but no new support and ROMs were iffy.
I've been holding on to my Pro 12.2 for years now and just sold it on Ebay. I'll use the proceeds to order my S7+ once it is available in the US. I wonder if Samsung will give a trade in allowance for the S4, which is a great tablet.
Pre ordered the s7+ 8gb 256 gb with the keyboard cover for just 1034 euro. The original book cover comes free with this tab as a promtion in the Netherlands.
It is available now in the US to be reserved on samsung.com, looks like the only incentive is a $35 instant credit for accessories. I definitely want it but want to see if anyone else has better offers
Just put in my pre-order for the wifi 128 gb Plus in grey. They also offered a $300 Trade in for my Sprint S4 and a small military discount which will go toward taxes.
Since it's just a sign up for a pre-order, there's no downside to ordering and then not completing the order if you find a better deal elsewhere.
I'm trading in my tab s6 and getting 450 for it, I only spent 500 when I bought it so i'm happy. Reserved tab s7+ 256 mystic silver for 408$. Tbh I'm still a little worried about the size. 10.5 inches was already BIG though I did get used to it. Hope I get used to the s7+ as well.
I'm sure we will get a pre order bonus, I just wish it was coming out sooner. Sucks we have to wait so much longer than in the US.
Just saw on Samsung's website, least from the US side $300 credit on a Trade in for the S4...
Truly hoping I can get the 256GB model here before the end of the month at Best Buy (release supposedly Friday). Get 10% off the device then can just sell the S4 out right.
pre order the bronze s7+ tab in Singapore. only delivering from 7th September. black one started delivering
I have ordered the S7+ in bronze. Due for delivery today ?
Really looking forward to it. Hope the increase in size isn't overbearing but it's smaller (just) than my surface pro so it should be ok.

Isn't it a free book cover? ie not the keyboard cover?
I'm also getting mine tomorrow (Monday) and I also made the mistake of thinking the pre-order gift was the Keyboard Cover as well but nope it's just the Book Cover so I'll probably end up going for the Game Pack as the pre-order gift and then maybe buy the Urban Armor Gear Metropolis Protective Case for the S7+ instead. There really aren't that many decent cases out for the S7+ yet, I'm seeing plenty for the S7 but not many for the S7+ so the Urban Armor Gear case is the most decent one I've seen so far. £70 though which is about the same price as the Book Cover would be.
