bricked P6800: available for spare parts - Galaxy Tab 7.7 General

My P6800 (3G, 16GB) is Superbricked or has a dead battery. I fear the former (ran Austrian ICS, did wipe, the symptoms seem to match). If anyone wants it for spare parts, pm me an offer.
Bought from Negri Electronics in November 2012. Samsung USA wants nothing to do with the 7.7, Negri stated they sourced this 7.7 from Hong Kong, so Samsung HK should honor the warranty. But, after phone calls to HK and shipping out to confirmed address, it came back declined.
P6800 is still the best mid-sized tablet on the market, except for service when living outside the purchase country.

Is it branded in any way? I have a Verizon one and I'd like to swap parts for the back so it doesn't say Verizon. Must have the IR blaster port on the side though.

Yhere was aomeone who posted here that had a jtag box and fixed our tabs

He said P6800, so probably unbranded and no IR port.

I wasn't aware of them. May be worth a try. If they can fix the P6800 for $50 + shipping, that's cheaper than buying the new Tab 3 8.0 as replacement. Thanks!
If that doesn't work, I'll repost my P6800 here. BTW, it indeed has no IR blaster.

I beleave it is Connexion2005 that does it.

You should get note 8. I upgraded from 7.7. You will be happy with it

USA vs EU

Will there be major differences between the American and European versions? I'm in two minds asking my girlfriend to pick it up from the states or wait till its released here.
Will it need different ROMs, or will they be the same?
Sent from Samsung Galaxy S II
I don’t see the WiFi versions being different. The I/O Limited Edition supports most languages.
Wifi model will probably be the same, you should get her to get 2 one for you then i buy one haha
Another issue I have is warranty as it will not be covered in the UK
How about power spec and connector? Related to the charger ...

Weigh up the risks. It’s probably worth waiting just a little longer. The choice is yours.

The power spec is the same. But the adapter plug is not for the UK so you will have to buy a Samsung travel adapter which are readily available or use the adapter from the Galaxy Tab if you have one.

I think this is a big issue. There's already reports of touch screen glass coming away from the body for the IO version. If you're an early adopter then you have to accept that you are likely to find flaws/issues that were missed by Samsung's QA team. To take that risk without being covered with warranty is a pretty big gamble.
I'm also from UK and would love to get this device but I'm using the later release in UK as a good opportunity to monitor reports of issues with the device coming from early adopters of regions where it is released early.
looks like 3G might be different

Got mine from Ebay Ecell £380, they got it to me with-in 2 days even though they say 6-10 days.
I think it is the HK version, However it started up in english and I have no trouble on the Android market etc.
This is a very good Tab.

I don't believe it's going to available in the UK soon so why not saving a lot of money and order it in Hongkong at panamoz.com? They're very reliable. Got mine there, paid by Paypal and then I got tracking information soon. Ordered it on 06/01 and it was in London 11/01. They pay all duty and import taxes for you.

panamoz.com defenitely very good service. Ordered mine on 18/01 got here (Dublin, Ireland) 1 hour ago (20/01).
Payed through paypal. They also have both wifi only and 3g versions available.
i ordered mine from Ebay Ecell.
been 4 days now
waiting for them to ship it!
they say they wait for money to clear on their bank account, but i suspect they are just getting it somewhere else in the world and shipping them

Hey guys - United States person looking to import here - the English that is on it, is it UK version or NA version (or is selectable between both?)
It might be a stupid question but I'd love to import it instead of waiting for Verizon to get it in a years time...
Hi - Do you still have he SGT 7.7 for sale?
If so is it the 3G version? How much is it and where are you based.

Anyone knows whats the difference in hk and europe version ? Really want to buy this tablet but not sure if it the same as euro... Would I be able to flash europe roms? Thanks in advance

Panamoz
I bought a 16gb 3G version from Panamoz. I ordered it 17th Jan (evening time) and it arrived on 20th Jan (morning). I selected English UK language during start up and rooted it straight away using the guide for 'root.zip' found in xda forums. It's already done an OTA update (I thought rooting would stop this!). It's working great. I highly recommend Panamoz AND The 7.7 Tab!
I've been using it with a UK T-Mobile sim with no issues, also various WiFi hotspots all appear to work OK.
I don't know of any difference between EU and HK versions, other than language options - but I may be wrong!

Does the Panamoz version comes with the IR port?
Negri Electronics has the 3g version but not the wifi only. My guess is that pretty much all that are out there are HK stock which means no IR.

Are there more versions than the wifi and wifi+3g then?
I really had no idea about that...
Almost a deal breaker for me, I was hoping to use the 7.7 as a remote as well :-(

I don't think so no but don't quote me on this. Depends on whether you're buying it directly from sammy or not. Or if all else fails ask sammy themselves

Likewise OZ warranty not valid in EU/UK.

[Q] Need to buy a SM9005 from Amazon, importing to India

Hi there guys,
Hope you all are having a good day.
So the thing is that I decided on getting myself a Note 3 (the international version). I sought the add out on Amazon and will be purchasing it soon.
Could someone who has an idea about the import tell me as to how much will the final price be that I have to pay after the custom clearance? I really need to know this before buying it. The on-shelf price of the Note 3 on the website is $705 and the seller is 'mygsmstore'.
It would be a great help. I can't ask questions on the website as I haven't yet bought anything from amazon.
Hi there,
I am also trying for the same. if you refer to my question here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=47783662, I am trying to get this from Expansys.
Let me know if you are interested and/or want to pursue this!
Thanks,
Ckhurana
Even I was thinking of the same, however there are quite a few problems.
1. How good is the retailer. As we will lose all warranty since its a USA product. So we need to be pretty sure of genuineness of the product.
2. Customs is quite tricky. I have searched and could barely find a convincing answer about the customs aspect on importing the phone
3. Region Locking- Samsung region locks the device. i.e. if we get it from USA, how will we get a US sim to unlock it.
Would be glad if some community member can help us.

is that so well as i recall it i could see a number of sellers who directly import unused and unopened Note 3 from the US, only extra cost which the customer may need to pay is OCTROI if applicable.

Hi,
I see that you have ordered note3 N9005, even I am planning to buy one from US. But there are two main concerns, first, is this a genuine Samsung phone? Second, about region lock policy of Samsung.
So, please let me know did you face any region lock problem and how is your phone working so far (could you check your phone with android app which verify the originality of Samsung phone). If your phone is good, I can order from the same seller.
