Tab S3 needs servicing - Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Questions & Answers

Hi!
I had my tab S3 checked for battery drain (https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s3/help/battery-drain-deep-sleep-t3766070) and the technician advised for a complete re-image of my tablet. But since i'm from Canada, and I bought my tablet from the US (thru Ebay), it can only be re-imaged from a US shop (with a special tool). Can anyone recommend me a Samsung servicing shop near New-York/ New-Jersey with good reputation/service so I can send my tablet?
Thanks a lot.

[Q] Galaxy s2 on vodafone india

Hey mates,
I've been a loyal nokia user since the last few years, things are about to change tomorrow as im buying my first android phone, the galaxy s2!
Vodafone india is exclusively going to sell the phone from tomorrow. They're also offering 1gb per month data usage on 3g for the first 6 months.
Im curious to know if the phone will come with vodafone badge/logo, etc. Im also assuming that the phone will be locked? If i do unlock it through some 3rd party app, will it create trouble, end my free 3g usage? Or should i wait till the 9th and buy a factory unlocked phone(i hope they're gonna sell factory unlocked units in india)?
Any help would be much appreciated. Cheers!
No, it is exactly same as the retail version(Unlocked) . Indiaplaza offers the phone for 29.9k . I hope the price is going to be come down below 30k in retails stores in a week or two .
Thanks - Anish
Hey i was unable to locate any vodafone store around Delhi, India which had information regarding SGS2 from which part are you?

Best place to buy Galaxy S3 in China

Hello everybody, my father is going on a flight to China and it's a great opprotunity to finally buy the Galaxy S3.
In my country, the price is about 730$ and I'm guessing that it is much cheaper in China.
However, we all know that the potential to get a fake Galaxy S3 in China is VERY HIGH!
So I'm asking you what are the best shops in China to get the Galaxy S3?? shops where it is 100% genuine and also good price
For example in USA you got "best buy" and stuff like that, so what are the popular shops in China where it's recommended to purchase the Galaxy S3 and how can he avoid getting a fake one??
--- I need the GT i9300 unlocked version ---
Thanks in advance!!
.........?
please don't bump the thread more than once every 24 hours. it's against the rules.
You can go to any major electronics store, I presume
When I was in China, I found a lot of places with S3. Most of the places I went to sold it for around 3800 yuan... I think. Then I went to a legit Samsung store and they sold it for 5000 yuan. I bought mines in Hong Kong for 6000 hk? I don't remember the price. But I think GuangZhou has it too. If you find a place where they ask for money first so they can order it, it's most likely fake. And remember. No refunds.

[Q] Hardware question, are the screens different products for USA/International tabs?

My Galaxy 10.1 tab has suffered from the 'newton ring' screen defect for a while now (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1130230 if you don't have long memories) but it wasn't too bad so I never got around to getting it fixed. Anyway, I had to take my phone into a Samsung service centre recently so I thought I'd get the tab done at the same time.
It's still within 2 years from purchase, but was bought in the USA so I was kinda expecting the warranty question to get raised. Nope, they took it fine, HOWEVER they now say that they can't repair it at all as they can't get the appropriate parts because the USA and UK models have different screens and they can't put a UK part into a US model. After a bit of further questioning they also said "and the software is different too", which is quite true but completely irrelevant to a pure hardware defect (and a known one at that).
Before I go and pick it up, could one of the experts here tell me if the physical screen and/or digitiser are any different between the original USA Galaxy TAB 10.1 (Wi-Fi only) and the original UK variant? I thought they were all made with the same generic parts in the same factories? Any part numbers or reference sources would be very helpful too. Thanks!

I have a UK tablet and i've never heard about different components lol.. I don't think there's a difference between the tabs, it's not that we have a different ROM that we also have different components, i came from android 2.3 UK and running cm10.1 now with a US bootloader on a UK device, problems, samsung?
Anyway,, i never suffered from those newton rings, i remember the link you posted, but i will not laugh too loud my tab is 1 year and 1 month old now
Thanks, that's very much my opinion too from everything I've ever read about this defect, the screen and digitiser are common components between the US and UK models.
If anyone can give me any more info or hard facts (e.g. do Samsung USA and Samsung UK have a spare parts website where I can compare part numbers?) that would help before I go back into the service centre around noon today. Thanks!
