Wondering if your "New" phone from eBay is really new?

Quote from IGGUS :
Recommend to all who receive this phone to download "phone by samsung [google.com]" by vndnguyen from the Play Store. Once installed go to the Personal tab, you may have to tap "Usage history" several times, and you'll then see Battery Discharge Cycles.

1 or 2 or 5 might be normal with a new phone, just like buying a new car doesn't mean the Odometer will read 0. But if you've got a discharge number much beyond that, you've got a Used phone that was misrepresented and sold as New.

Came across this app via Android Central forums. I'm in no way affiliated with AC, nor vndnguyen, so if you prefer you can install the Samsung Members app, but that only gives you a generic battery health, ie: "Good", and unfortunately Samsung removed access to Android's built in tool accessible via dialer, entering "*#*#4636#*#*".

How's the camera though!?

I use it as a companion to my DSLRs on weddings for photo and video and it's never disappointed, but I edit the RAW files to something more professional looking and don't really have an opinion on the straight out of camera JPEGs. They look good enough to me for my needs.

I wish I had never seen this thread/post as I've been on hold around Tmobile, Sprint and now Tmobile again for more than 80 minutes trying to unlock this cell after deciding to try and unlock it.

All foreign CS staff and twice they have said they can't hear me and hang up - easy excuse to get out of call. The communication skills are subpar. And now I'm on my fourth call and on hold again...

I hate giving up.
To get an "American" CS you've got to call early in the morning ..... the time difference means the foreign CS are sleeping when we get up.

Also: you're using your own T Mo or Sprint-legacy account to unlock your phones? Or you got Verizon?

And T Mo has a lock out period of months after first use before they'll unlock any phone.

You'll probably have to use an Unlock Service off Ebay.

And I found this on my News Feed this morning:

https://komonews.com/amp/news/nat...-next-year

You've got an expensive door stop. (And I'm a huge Note fanboy)

And don't feel bad: I spent HOURS on a deal to get 5 free Sprint Notes (I think 10) from Sprint, right before the T Mo take over, and THAT'S when I realized: T Mo is going to screw-over Sprint's network.

....... the sales rep let it slip: Yeah, we're told to blow these out the door.

🤔 what???

So I got 5 phones in the mail .... never opened them .... sent them all back and killed the Sprint account.

Good luck!

Seems like good deal to meSmilie

leiff. See if you can change this as active again?

I snagged one yesterday (thanks!) but just got a different color through the link another poster provided. The seller of your deal, purple, has been very responsive, and was quick to acknowledge my cancelation request.

This means if anyone is still interested in this color from this seller, even if it's not showing as available anymore, contact the seller! They may have good news for you Smilie

Phone keeps rebooting. Got a lemon. As long as I'm doing something on the screen, phone won't reboot. as soon as the screen times out the phone will reboot or stay off

Decided to buy certified note9 from Samsung. Website shows $400 but got a 5% off promo code from a bubble that poped up during my shopping at Samsung website so I got $20 off for $380 total. No purple unfortunately, Comes with 1 year warranty.

So after a bit of Googling about this note 9 problem phone turning off after screen timeout, I saw people saying to disable fingerprint scanner and sure enough I turned off my finger scanner and no reboots yet. I think it's worth saving almost $100 for me to keep this $304 eBay phone and just not use fingerprints scanner. With note 9 I think face ID in combination with Iris scanner works better than fingerprint scanner anyways. I think I'm going to call Samsung to cancel my $380 refurb. Plus I like purple better. Hopefully no more reboots

cancelled my note 9 $380 from samsung and am keeping this. Even though I had to remove my fingerprints from biometrics to stop reboots, I'm still able to use Samsung pay and Samsung pass with finger scanner to continue to able to use these apps also. I guess the one concern I have left is the battery on this seems to be draining rather quickly considering the battery in this note 9 is supposed to be a hefty improvement over my old note 8

Recommend to all who receive this phone to download "phone by samsung [google.com]" by vndnguyen from the Play Store. Once installed go to the Personal tab, you may have to tap "Usage history" several times, and you'll then see Battery Discharge Cycles.

1 or 2 or 5 might be normal with a new phone, just like buying a new car doesn't mean the Odometer will read 0. But if you've got a discharge number much beyond that, you've got a Used phone that was misrepresented and sold as New.

Came across this app via Android Central forums. I'm in no way affiliated with AC, nor vndnguyen, so if you prefer you can install the Samsung Members app, but that only gives you a generic battery health, ie: "Good", and unfortunately Samsung removed access to Android's built in tool accessible via dialer, entering "*#*#4636#*#*".

Thanks, at 607 battery discharge Cycles, safe mine is not new and I'm obliged to leave a negative review. Even though my phone was randomly rebooting the first day maybe a hundred times I guess that would have dragged that number up a hundred times more and more so if the previous owner had the same problem I guess
