[Q] Xperia Play Screen Protectors (Canadian)

Does this come with a screen protectors in canada or do i need to get one?

The only screen protector that I've seen is the one that comes applied for shipping protection, nothing that should actually be used after receiving your phone.

seems like there is one on. i dont want to put 2 on...

haha i looked there but there doesnt seem to be a definite answer and no info about the canadian one.

It looks like I have one fitted from out of the box (Danish - bought on cdon.com). Just odd that they put a spare one in the box if the one that's on is not even to remove?
Regards Dousan...

in case there isint one on, does anyone have suggestions to which i should buy?

[Q] Note 3 Clone?

Hi, I just bought a Note 3 off eBay, it was listed as the AT&T variant of the Note 3. I received the phone earlier today and the 1st thing I did was went straight to the settings to see if everything was up to par.
In settings under about device it says its running 4.4 and the model number is SM-N9006. I did a quick Google search and came up with mixed results, some said it was the Chinese version of the Note 3 and some said it was a Note 3 clone.
I did a benchmark test and it doesnt look like the hardware is what its suppose to be, it actually listed it in the rankings as below the S3.
Any feedback would be great, I do have a 14 day return on this. Thanks a lot everyone.

hover the pen over the screen and press the spen button
and should work when pulled out

When I pull the pen out a lil menu on the bottom right pops up but when I wave it in front if the screen nothing happens.
Here's a screen shot of the air gesture menu, see it says "ware" instead of "wave"? Lol

Ware not wave
Don't worry about spelling mistakes there are a few through the menus. Has anyone ever noticed the equalizer spelt equaliser in the music menu? There are a few you just have to look. But if your getting antutu scores on par or lower than an S3 then you have the mediate mtk processor and it is a fake for sure.

Just download Samsung info from Play store and see results without wasting time.

probably something like this : http://www.fastcardtech.com/HDC-Galaxy-Note-3-N9006.html

I already contacted the seller and he's issuing a refund. I figure I might as well get the AT&T version I wanted since they are both about the same price. I'm gonna check out Swappa and try and get my phone from there. Thanks to everyone who replied and helped! ::victory:

It's fake.
The Air Gesture menu is full. It's NEVER all white.
"Ware your hand"? China being morons again and not knowing how to utilized the worlds most used language....

Equaliser is correct. Same as defence, centre, colour etc. just depends where you come from.
Ware however is wrong.

32gb I337 to Black Edition S4 (Screen / front frame compatability)

Hi I'm currently trying to rebuild and bring back to life an I337 that's in perfect working condition "except for screen and digitizer". Before anyone asks I did test it with another screen and all is fine and perfect. My question is can a Black Edition S4 (i9505) replacement screen and housing work or be compatible with the I337? I've heard mixed and unconfirmed answers that go from "the frame is different, to the pins being different". I've looked at and compared pics from both the backs of the i337 and i9505 and both appear identical and compatible with each other, also the slots for the components look very identical. I really hope the pin connectors are the same cause if so all I would need if the housing is the only thing different would be a i337 front housing and my heat gun to stick the screen to it. All feedback is welcomed and I hope I can get this up and running real soon so I can post pics on here of the project. On a side note I got the i337 32gb for a whopping expensive $100 and if all works out the total investment would be less then $360 for a 32gb Black Edition i337.

Is the 9505 screen replacement cheaper? Why not get one that says i337? I'm looking at replacing the lcd/digitizer on my wife's phone. Was just curious. In my thinking there probably isn't any difference in the part. I'm not 100% though.

Yes! Of course it's cheaper but the point to this, is to make my phone look different and unique (more premium!). I don't mind paying an extra $40 for that, plus I never liked the sapphire look. It's not really much of a difference in pricing.

I believe it was established somewhere that a replacement I9505 screen works fine on I337. I don't see why it wouldn't, I doubt they'd take that much time to vary hardware by each model.

Thanks for that concrete and informative answer. I ordered the part yesterday with my fingers crossed and I've also compared front and back picks of both i337 and i9505 motherboards, and after close inspection I could not see any differences in how the circuits looked meaning that it should work. Of course I know they are different inside but outside they look exactly the same so I'm no longer worried about it not working. All that's left is the rebuild and probably posting pics and even a YouTube link if the site let's me. Thanks and hope to post that soon.

Update: Rebuild Complete
Hi to the people interested in this post, I'm just checking back to update everyone that the I337 Black Edition project has been completed and a 100% successful (except for a very small hurdle with the front frame). Now I only have a few questions. 1) How would I go about posting a tread with the images I took of the work? 2) How do I go about enabling AWS for my tmobile service and even installing a tmobile rom with wifi calling in the safest or easiest way possible (if possible) 3) As of this date is this phone still hard to work on "installing CWM, TWMP, etc) 4th) is there any free or easy way to Sim unlock the device? All feedback is greatly appreciated.

1) Start a thread in the general section and it has options to add pictures.
2) You can't do it if you have 4.4. Otherwise, look for the aws thread in the general section. I can't link it from mobile.
3) Still no custom recovery but Safestrap.
4) The "Possible sim unlock for MK2" thread is the only option for unlock, it involves using Safestrap to flash and old modem and either using an app or using service codes.

Proper Steps to get phone ready to return

What would be the basic proper steps to prepare me to return this to Sprint?
I am just unhappy with the no Wifi Calling and trouble viewing this screen outside. AMOLED screens are too much better (Galaxy s5 is way better IMO)

easiest way is to flash RUU...http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-htc-10/development/ruu-sprint-htc-10-1-24-651-3-t3379257
bootloader will still be unlocked, if u want to lock, from fast boot use this cmd:
fastboot oem lock
it still wont show "locked" instead "relocked"...I recently returned a 10 to sprint, I dont recall if I locked or not (I think I did), but they dont check

I don't think the bootloader is unlocked it looks like someone rooted the phone and turn it into T-Mobile and they just mailed you. You can try to download the new firmware and flashing it and doing a reset factory to see if it will fix it.

Generally that means you can do as you please such as root and fladhing

I figured T-Mobile did say "if you claim your phone as damaged you'll get a "like new" so I was aware I was getting a refurbished phone for $170

Well we can't really assume that the bootloader came unlocked unless we have something to detail the current condition of the bootloader. Right?
