I bought a new unit at the mines, normal phone store. Any problem with it???

XXJM1 supposed to be US region firmware, so the shop already flash it to your phone, maybe they did it so that the phone could function better, less lag or so, but it does kinda show that the phone already been taking out of the box and been played with

Hi,

I go to Account in phone settings and disable the sync, and when my friend use Whatsup and send me sms,
i still can received the sms (incoming SMS). So what is the different to disable and enale the sync?

Cheers,

Danny

Yes it is opened unit, I requested for demo and he shown me this unit, after tried then I said I wanna buy, he gave me this unit. I asked if this is a new unit, he said yes. Since it does not have any problem, then I also did not bother much. Should ask for a new sealed unit >.<

u shud request for a new unit...

Kinda regret already, but already passed, so just deal with it

If you click on the sync entry, it says sync the contact on WhatsApp. If you notice, in your phone's contact display option, there's a new entry for WhatsApp, which will automatically linked to your current address book's entries on related people.

I guess if you don't sync them, if any of the new users, which happen to belong in your address book, won't shows up in your WhatsApp. Hence you can't start a conversation with them.

This is just my guess, but you can try it out and let me know. At least this program's contact detecting works much better than Tango's.

Did you get it off Samsung outlets or just any phone stalls?

I think you should return it and ask for a replacement as obviously the seller is selling you a open box demo unit and worse he flash a new rom on it
As a guide such sets you should not pay more than RM1.6k for it as consider used set. A brand new sealed AP set goes for about RM2.0 to 2.1k max

Thanks for the advice, I should go back and ask them then. So you confirm that he flashed to a US region firmware? I need some evidence to prove that he flashed it

but its too late to request for a new unit...

Actually PDA gadgets brought these in as AP unit. We cannot know if it actually came from US and has got JM1 by default. Don't be too sure that someone has flashed the firmware yet.

I'm sorry to say, having an opened box for AP set is very normal.

Thanks, my guess is the same. I disable the sync and go to Whatsapp --> Contact --> click on Refresh, it will auto enable back the sync.

By any chance you know if we did not send/received any sms, Whatsapp still using any data (it's running though)?

Cheers,

Danny

Only 1 solution, keep checking your WhatsApp Network Usage info, after you disable the sync.

Sorry if this doesn't really work out. My data utilisation is still way below, despite just 500mb package. So I don't really bother if it use or not (at least for this month).

what is the firmware used on the original set sold by authorized distributors?
So PDA gadgets is not an authorized distributor?

How much you bought it? Did you know your set is AP or Malaysia Orignal? What is the size you get?

how to identify if it is AP or Original? What size are you referring to? Internal is 8GB

Only SME (Samsung Malaysia Electronics) is the official distro. Any other, it is AP.

8GB = confirmed AP.

My bet is, there is nothing hanky panky about your unit. It isn't messed up, it isn't demo unit. They did use it to show to customers because these phones are what they have. Every AP phone end up the same fate like yours. They sell you your phone, they take another phone and put it for next customer's demo.

Original means phones from Official distributor in Malaysia.

Ap means phone from other country.

8GB, Malaysia don't sell 8GB so for sure your phone is AP set.

What's the price you got it for?
