Bought phone - Mate 8 General

Hi I am in USA and am deaf. I bought Huawei Mate 8 64GB (NXT-AL10) from gizok. While I wait for the phone to be delivered.
I read that AL10 has nofication issues but NXT-L29 doesnt have issues.
Being deaf, I need to have nofication on all the times.
Did I regret bought this phone???
Thanks!

Apparently all model got this issue. There is a workaround where you diable doze function

It's available very easily now, I got one for my sister in Pakistan and I have to admit the Coral Blue looks fantastic.
It was the FD variant, for USD 620 here.
I bought it on ebay from the seller tobydeals. Fast delivery and I was surprised about the good customer service. I couldn't find the invoice and dropped than an email. After 24h I received an answer with a link to my invoice. And the phone is amazing. I've never were so satisfied with a phone
I bought the spigen ultra hybrid case. Very thin, good protection, the phone is now less slippery anymore and the best thing is I'm not touching the edges by accident.

I want to purchase a phone from UAE(dubai) for use in India.Will it work in India?

The model number shown on the webpage of the retailer is SM-G935FTKDXSG. Will this phone work in India with respect to making calls and also LTE bands for 4G? How do I find out if its unlocked or not? Will VoLTE, Samsung pay work in India? Also, for warranty, is there some way to get Indian warranty?

This phone will work in India with respect to making calls and LTE connection. But VoLTE will not work. Not sure about Samsung Pay because I don't use it.
Also, nothing can be done about the warranty.
BTW I use an S7 edge bought from Dubai in India

Thanks for the reply! Where did you get the phone from, and for what price? Where would you recommend I but it from? Also, are you aware of any other features being different between this phone from dubai and the one in India? Have you faced any problems with the phone till now? And, does the phone have warranty inside UAE or not?
Thanks for the help!

I got the phone from the website souq.com for a pretty low price compared to the market price. Most shops in Dubai usually just increase the price for no reason.
My phone also came with one year warranty (Only in UAE).
My phone is almost 6 months old and I've had no problems at all with the phone. Really happy with it.
Yes you can use it with voLTE and SPay. Just flash Indian firmware on the firmware and you're good to go.

No, there is not a difference. I think it's around 1800 there and for that money it's so value for money. Nothing gets better than this phone at that price. Myself using a UAE phone. Get this model 935FD dual sim version.
And, don't get from souq. Not heard good opinion about them from people who live there.

I'm not in the UAE myself, so will have to ask someone to get it for me. Could you please tell me where to buy it from? souq.com shows price as 1900 AED for 128gb version. Where do I ask my friend to buy it from? And model number is 935FD or SM-G935FTKDXSG? Thanks man!

It comes with a one year official Samsung gulf warranty.
When I got my phone 6 months ago I paid 2000dhs. And I've had no problems at all with my device.

I bought my Nexus 5 from there and used it for 4 years without any issues. Then I bought my S7 edge from there 6 months ago and it has no issues.
My brother bought his LG G3 from there and used it for 4 years without any issues. He bought his LG G5 recently (around the same time I got my S7 edge) and he has no issues with his device whatsoever.
All these devices from souq.com
The site is good as long as you buy from a good dealer. Since anyone can setup a shop on the site, there might be some people trying to sell bad stuff. Just buy from the trusted dealers and you'll be fine.
I don't think Samsung issues international warranty. My home appliances are Samsung branded which doesn't have and one more using the firmware of UAE Volte will definitely not work unless you flash indian package on your mobile that's why I said no.

Hey are you 100% sure that we can flash Indian firmware on a Dubai model using ODIN?
I am on some custom ROM on my dubai phone but I really want to shift to the latest OREO INS Stock via ODIN. So that I have everything working smoothly including jio VOLTE. Please let me know if you have tried and tested this as I don't want to brick my phone
Also do I have to tick anything special on ODIN? I've been reading about people saying to tick re partition if coming from Dubai model?

Just make sure you buy the international variant applicable to any model of Samsung. Experience wise I usually buy my phone from Sohar, Oman and use it in Manila and didn't encounter any issues whatsoever.

Buying Axon 7 from Alibaba. VoLte support?

Hi, I'm planning to buy Axon 7 from Alibaba. I live in India. Can anyone confirm is the phone supporting Volte out of the box?

don't take this as an educated response, but I've seen many people complaining that VoLTE doesn't work on some custom ROMs. That'd mean that it does work on stock. No idea about India though, but if it works on other countries, why not?
You'd be better off waiting for someone that tried though

Stuck on B11 - Which Nougat to manually install (A2017G, assume Hong Kong region)

Hi All,
I just got an A2017G from an online retailer based out of China (I am in Canada). The phone is on an old firmware version A2017Gv1.0.0B11. I cannot see any OTA updates but I know that Nougat has been released for this phone. I can see that there are no updates on the ZTE site for the Hong Kong region and it's stock version is B11 so I assume this is from Hong Kong, but I really have no idea on how to check.
I would like to know if I can tell which region this phone is from and which version of Nougat I should be able to download and flash from B11.
I can see a list of them (for example b04 for Australia, B06 for Turkey, B08 for Germany) here

Does it matter which one I choose?

I think the difference is mainly in things like the Wifi frequency, but I could be wrong. I never found a good clarification of this topic either...
B11 is a pretty new MM ROM and also I think a rollback ROM to regress from Nougat. Mine came with older than B10, I flashed B10 MM then B04 N
German B08 is newer and maybe supports VoLTE if that's of use with your carrier.
Pretty sure the main thing is the ROM was for the same model phone. Don't use an A2017U or A2017 ROM on an A2017G. When it's started first time (or reset) you choose language so as long as locale is correct it should work but it needs to have correct telephony bands to access local celular networks. With location set it should run on the correct wifi channels.
B06 did the trick. Just used sd card update method.

Are you sure it is an A2017G? What does it say etched on the back? Do you have signal after updating?
Just some questions worth doing
A2017g etched on back. B11 version said "a2017g" in the full text. I am sure it is the g version.
I have LTE, 3g and Wi-Fi working post update to nougat b06.

Yeah, the point is that Aliexpress vendors buy A2017's, install A2017G software on them with a special process, and add a paper on the box saying that you won't get OTA's and it's actually not a G, but it seems to be in Chinese.
If that was the case, the software would have said A2017G but the phone, A2017. Just wanted to make sure

Yeah I understand. The phone was from Gearbest. I wouldn't get LTE if it were the A2017 so I would have known right away. Not that I trust Gearbest more than Aliexpress (I haven't ever had a problem with either with about 4 or 5 purchases on both), but this one seems legit.

Great to hear that, I'm waiting for mine (gray one) to arrive from gearbest! You probably would get LTE in A2017 , where do you live ? But if G is etched then you can be happy, and me too. Could please tell me if they included case and tempered glass in the box ? Headphones ? Thanks
Case yes, headphones yes, glass no.
Only band 4 towers around me.

actually I think only A2017's come with it, and i think the Aliexpress sellers put it there.
Nothing pre applied. I've double checked the box and no screen protector. I think the gearbest site says it comes with one so just be aware it doesn't. I have never used a screen protector on my phones and have never had an issue. Also mine came with Euro plug by ZTE with a cheap adapter in the mail bag, so another confirmation it is the a2017g. It was a good deal for $300CAD. I am really happy with the phone.
I am waiting to receive one from GearBest. I think it will not come with Portuguese language. Could you please confirm if Portuguese language is supported on the original ROM, or on the B06 upgrade?
Thanks,
Luis

Can you tell us the exact model? Like feg. SM-M307F/DS, SM-M307F or SM-M307FN?
So people that did not buy the phone yet can get the one with nfc! :good:

SM-M307FN has NFC - not surprisingly N stands for NFC.
For shure models sold by Amazon in Europe have NFC ( M30S in Europe is sold by Amazon exclusively - not directly by Samsung - as for today )
From this link https://samfrew.com/model/SM-M307FN/ you can easily understand which countries have NFC enabled M30s
