Planning want to buy a mobile device? Scare yourself be cheated? Here some step to show you as a guide. icon_rolleyes.gif

1. Make a call to a person to check whether the mobile device can to be speak clearly to the receiver & listen clearly from the receiver.

2. Take a charger to charge that mobile device to confirm it whether is work or not.

3. Take a handsfree to connect to mobile device to confirm it whether is work or not.

4. Take a look on the metal part of charging part & the battery part which on the mobile device see whether have some lichen / smear (KOTORAN) or not. (If got, it just means that mobile device is been drop into water before.)

5. On the camera from that mobile device & take a finger to press it on the camera lens there. (Must cover all the camera lens become darkness.) (If you found a small dot on that mobile device there, it just means that mobile device has the dead pixels.)

6. Press all the key on that mobile device to check whether all the key is function or not.

7. Test the speaker by loudly (MAX VOLUME) with the ringtone , mp3 , wave & etc to check whether is clear & loud or not.

8. Check the screw which have been pasted with the warranty sticker. (If spoil / void, it just means your warranty for that mobile device is gone)

9. Check whether that mobile device is contain with the SIRIM sticker & the distributor sticker or not. (It just for the warranty purpose) & make sure that the warranty card must be chop by their company stamp & provide the receipt.

10. Check the memory card also during the checking process before deal. [OPTIONAL]

11. Press *#92702689# to check the life timer, see whether is NEW / RECON set.

Addon:

check the manufactured date from the back of the phone.

a new set / ap set shouldn't be too far away. the further it is, the higher the chance it is a recond set, very old stock or problematic set that is not sold.

go into the phone deeply, go through each folders and files, search for any trace that indicate it has been used before, address book, call time, sms inbox outbox, pictures etc etc. some seller is careless enough to leave these traces when they sell a recond set.

last but not least, specifically for SE, key in the sequence as said by sasaug above. there is a test menu to test most of the hardware of the phone (mic, vibration, flash light, camera, keypad etc etc).

more to come.

Erm regarding the SIRIM sticker, don't put that much stock in it. I've seen this shop in LY before that have the stickers by the score and they were sticking it onto their fake batteries. So yeah. What you see is not necessarily what you get laugh.gif

Also try transferring data from the memory card to phone memory. Try to fill up the phone memory and copy back to the memory card. Phone's memory might be corrupted.

Also check the Original, AP Set & Water Set thread. A lot of informative stuff there smile.gif

Hey jtc, it would be great if you could compile everything into the first post. Makes reading easier smile.gif

P/S : I know is just similar like the Original, AP Set & Water Set thread. Please don't be mistaken about i want to spam at here. My thread is just show up the step for those buyer planning to purchase the mobile device as a guide on it. Moderators can be close it up if you want to do so.

Thanks for your comment! sonyclie77! notworthy.gif

Actually this guide can be place at Handphones and Related Accessories & Notebooks, PDAs & Cameras.

I hope you also can pinned in that particular forum too.

It is easier for our forumer to have a guide on it about all the mobile device not just only for the handphones. icon_rolleyes.gif

some additional info if you guys dont mind.

As for the warranty sticker, please take note if you are planning to buy new phone especially, there shouldn't be two different sticker on the same spot. if so, most likely it is refurbished and sell as new.

recon set is the hardest to find its flaw, because some of them are just in their best condition. But people tends to make mistakes, so check on the call registry, memory and settings. If the seller giving excuses, ask for another same set and compare. If not, try looking at the sides and gaps, if there is some dust there, possibility of recon set is high.

this is my experience during my job as phone seller in a retail shop. wink.gif

IMEI is like serial number for a phone.

it is usual that for most ap sets, imei on/in phone doesnt match the one on the box.

Then may I ask why its not the same? Box and phone didnt come from same factory or what? My guess is that the phone imported in bundled without box as AP and put into box which was from another different original box? Hmm, sounds so much similar with recon.

Normally AP phones come in bulk without accessories/box and apply for Approval Unit (AP) and must approved by sirim... And then they combine those AP phone back with local accessories that is why phone IMEI will be not same with box IMEI... That will be cheaper if they did that without need to buy whole box together (save cost)... That also depends which AP company, so far CSL provide AP IMEI same with box IMEI...

Yes it sound simliar RECON phones, so before u buy a new AP/Ori, pls refer post #14 by Seaedge... tongue.gif He have some tips for those who going to buy new phones... thumbup.gif thumbup.gif

Thats why you need to find the cheapest price to avoid you being cheated from the expensive price.

As huakenny said....

They doing this kind of method just want to avoid a lot of stock at their shop. icon_rolleyes.gif

i plan to buy an AP set at a shop, but the shop keeper said he didn't have the phone right now and willing to order for me. I was wondering, do i have to pay him a deposit for the phone? What if by the time the phone arrives, the phone is not in good condition (recon set, 3nd hand etc...)? And will i be able to get back my deposit $?

1. the box is already opened...means 'AVAXX Inspected' sticker already being cut...but i think they just wanna put avaxx sticker...but again...if avaxx inspected sticker already patched outside the box...of coz avaxx sticker already patched inside...rite?

2. the battery is already in the phone...is it normal?i watch on youtube the battery is separated...but i'm not sure about this...

hm..i fell like that hp u bought is not a new 1..

if he want to bring the hp to u (have to pick it up somewhere else n make u wait for an hour) ,the box must haven't be opened..why he open it if the box is new(not even in his stall n need to b pick at somewhere else, thats mean its a new set.shouldn't be opened).why he open it?

the sticker must be put b4 avaxx seal the box..it is not shop guy work to put the sticker..

all the sticker must be marked the same date u bought it..

go to the shop ask him bout this, told him lots of ur friend told u bout this..

avaxx n zitron hp must be separate in the box..if the battery oredi in the hp..they use it b4.

maybe the shp dont have the stock n get it from other friend shop..n friendshop give him this suspicious set.

this is just my opinion..can ask other forumer to confirm it.

u bought an original hp...u deserved to get the best 1.

Hi, wanna get suggestion. I'm looking for a phone with a great GPS navigation and good battery life as I'm going to travel in Europe. Any recommendation?

As an alternative, can I get a cheap phone while attaching it with BT GPS navigator?

Any other recommendations are greatly welcome!

Comsat ain't original. can be supplier warrantied or a.p. for original it will have a thorus, midlands or 3tribes sticker at the battery or inside the phone. still, stickers can be forged so always be careful. check overall performances of the phone, make sure ur satisfied wit speakers, handsfree, bla bla bla. check imei of box oso. *#06# make sure serial is same on box. check for scratches, check for unknown data like pictures taken.. if there is, it's not reconed or 2nd hand but it'za display unit. better go for phones that are sealed in box, never opened.

A small tips, if u guys are buying original set, don't bother going to small stalls or small shops. Go to the big ones. Or to the shop u know. Mostly the conman's are located within small shops and stalls. Thats because they don't keep the phone with them. They have it somewhere else. So the chances of they making it a recon and to give u is pretty high. They can take time about half or 1 hour to recon it and get it ready, and deliver to u or to the stall looking brand new thumbup.gif . U wouldn't know either if its recon cause it looks new with new casing and new housing with new box with everything complete. AP or New, just don't go to small stalls or small tiny shops. That doesn't mean that big shops are genuine sellers either.

Its in your eyes of what ure looking at and ur knowledge about handphones. Ask people, ask your friends. Do surveys. Dont just go to one shop, find it nice and cheap, straight buy. Dont do that. Go to few shops, do window shopping. Then compare all, see which looks better for u. Compare all the shop sets in various ways. Do all the tests. U have the rights to do so and the shop owner cant and shouldn't say a thing to u. Always check for IMEI and play around with the set for a while. Dont just turn it on, see all working and buy straight to regret later about its consequences. Be smart, be a good buyer, be a good and smart shopper smile.gif

Recently I received an email with information to check the origin of the phone base on serial number. I'm not sure whether is this true or not but no harm if I share here. If anyone know, please verify the source whether is true or not.


Press the following on your mobile *#06# and the-international mobile equipment identity number appears. Then check the 7th and 8th numbers:


IF the Seventh & Eighth digits are 02 or 20 this means your cell phone was assembled in China which is low quality

IF the Seventh & Eighth digits are 08 or 80 this means your cell phone was manufactured in Germany which is fair quality

IF the Seventh & Eighth digits are 01 or 10 this means your cell phone was manufactured in Finland which is very Good

IF the Seventh & Eighth digits are 00 this means your cell phone was manufactured in original factory which is the best Mobile Quality

IF the Seventh & Eighth digits are 13 this means your cell phone was assembled in Azerbaijan which is very Bad quality and also dangerous for your health

I'd like to share my experience here dealing with a fellow forumer.
I'm the buyer and he was selling a 'brand new' PDA supposedly won from lucky draw.
When i saw the box, it was a bit worn. But who cares bout the box anyway right.
Inside, everything looks brand new. The set, accessories, are all like just out from factory.
So i proceeded to check the set. The warranty seal from manufacturer is intact.
So the housing should be original & not changed.
But.. the date on the warranty stciker is 10/2008. It's now 09/2009.
So how can a brand new set be dated 10/2008 & it's a very popular PDA so i doubt there will be old stock.
Further check shows all the accessories were also dated 10/2008.
I got suspicious & checked the battery. The terminals on the battery shows that it has been used.
Like really used when 2 metal parts comes in contact. Unlike a brand new battery.
My common sense tells me something is just not right.
I did not purchase the set & i just want to tell this to you guys to beware.
Some forumers ARE selling USED sets as BRAND NEW !

I've experienced with fake iphone...Got it for a day but managed to realise the defect that I went back to the stall at some hp fair and give it back to them and ask them for refund...

I was told that it was a SG set and that they told me that they modified the software in it to make it easier for us to put in our songs etc...so it will be compatible with mp3 etc and that we don't have to use itune. Was also informed that we can download games or apps from itune..its exactly the same as what we get from maxis but the advantages from this was that it support java as well...i was a bit sceptical at 1st when i saw that the sim card can be easily inserted on top of the phone as the real one we need a needle kind of thing to poke in to open it but was informed by the sales person that they modified it for convenient sake

Then after a nite of trying it...i connect to the pc and realised that its only 3GB and not 32GB...without connecting to PC u would find that its 32GB but once connected its not...and furthermore it can't be sync with itune...

When I bring it to them, they still argue that its original from SG but when I asked them is it from Apple they didn't dare to admit it now...and when I ask them y its 3GB and not 32GB they give me the reason that this stock having problem and that they didn't upgrade the memory inside etc and i'll just need to bring it back to their office 2 weeks later and they will change another new one for me...I didn't buy that reason at all and demand them for refund...

Its hard to differentiate this from real iphone as it doesn't have stylus and that it can only be touch by fingers and not by nails which is exactly the same from the real iphone...the back cover also cannot be open...furthermore the accessories that they give is original...

One forumer marah me, said what's the different with ap set, same as original but warranty only mah...

I'll tell you what's different.

Say now the phone's authorized dealer in Malaysia is A. One day, phone manufacturer marah, terminates A's dealership, and appoints B as new authorized dealer.

If you have A phone under warranty, B is obliged to service your phone even though you buy from A.

That's why Nokia Service Center, although maybe operated by Zitron, will service Avaxx phones. Authorized dealer, see?

If you buy AP, the warranty company will sure not service you kaw kaw one. Why? You buy cheap, get cheap service la. Even worse, if company bankrap? Your friendly phone store closes (without telling you where to service)? Go to authorized dealer, they'll either service with a nice price tag, or refuse to service at all.

The reason for all these lawlessness (IP infringment, China imitation, underwater, AP, Return set) is because we don't regulate the market as much.

if buying new nokia, specifically 5800, what to look out for besides this thread, and the stickers in http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/495629?

Cant really test things cos the battery new.

Or should I borrow a currently used 5800 battery and test?

Hi, Can anyone advise me. Is there any shop that sell reasonable price mobile phone
in kl area? such as lowyat plaza, sg. wang plaza etc?

Im very worry i get cheated because some shop sell a used mobile phone as new mobile
phone. Im working in mobile phone shop before. So i know about this, The trade in
mobile phone from people that looks new and put inside the box.

I hope anyone can recommend place that sell reasonable price. So i dont have to
look around at many shops to check the price. I wanted to buy a new phone.

no need check,just see already can know weither it's original or not,

Hi, I got some problem here, i bought a Samsung SL i9003 from a forumer few days ago, i went home and put my Sim card in , the tragedy happened . It could not read the SIM card, i send it to Phone shop and they informed me i 'll wait to wait 2 weeks to get back the phone, i got no phone to use currently. What should I do? sit there and wait 2 weeks without phone and my Postpaid bill still going on? Or any suggestion? i'm confused and it's really tough without a cell phone.

Guys, the 1st post was in 2007 back when smartphones wasn't the norm.
Now that 99% of the phones are smart phones, what are the things to look out for in a used smartphone?
Smartphones are more fragile than the candybar phones aren't they?
What are the things that are most likely to be damaged after a drop?

I have a budget of RM500-800.
At first I was thinking of getting a Galaxy Y for RM500 but then I might as well top up RM200 to get a used top of the range Samsung, a Galaxy S.

But then after doing some thinking, I am quite worried that the phones might be spoiled on the inside where we can't see. Especially if the phone has been dropped before.

let's check it out:
02 or 20 : dari China = LOW QUALITY
08 or 80: dari Germany = FAIR QUALITY
01 or 10: dari Finland = VERY GOOD
00 or 03 or 04: dari kilang asal handphone = BEST MOBILE QUALITY
13 : dari azerbaijan =VERY BAD QUALITY & DANGEROUS FOR HEALTH

Why so many people don't keep receipt or register for warranty with Samsung Malaysia? Are these genuine phone or what? They have everything except proof of purchase...sigh

05/50 is from either Brazil, Finland or USA.
Considered good quality.

Only 00 is from original factory,
03 / 30
04 / 40 are manufactured in China , good quality but not as good as 00, 01,10 .

02/20 is from Emirates not from China, very BAD quality.

You could check it here https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do by inserting the serial number you found in your iPhone 3GS.

If the warranty was expired, then it indicates it's either a recond one or an old one.

If the serial number doesn't valid, it means it's a fake one.

Type
*#06# and you'll see the IMEI number.

Check the 7th and 8th number

If it's 00, then it is the best quality which is manufactured from the original factory (Samsung).

As for Apple, you could check it here https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do by typing in your serial number.

Planning want to buy a mobile device? Scare yourself be cheated? Here some step to show you as a guide.  icon_rolleyes.gif

1. Make a call to a person to check whether the mobile device can to be speak clearly to the receiver & listen clearly from the receiver.

2. Take a charger to charge that mobile device to confirm it whether is work or not.

3. Take a handsfree to connect to mobile device to confirm it whether is work or not.

4. Take a look on the metal part of charging part & the battery part which on the mobile device see whether have some lichen / smear (KOTORAN) or not. (If got, it just means that mobile device is been drop into water before.)

5. On the camera from that mobile device & take a finger to press it on the camera lens there. (Must cover all the camera lens become darkness.) (If you found a small dot on that mobile device there, it just means that mobile device has the dead pixels.)

6. Press all the key on that mobile device to check whether all the key is function or not.

7. Test the speaker by loudly (MAX VOLUME) with the ringtone , mp3 , wave & etc to check whether is clear & loud or not.

8. Check the screw which have been pasted with the warranty sticker. (If spoil / void, it just means your warranty for that mobile device is gone)

9. Check whether that mobile device is contain with the SIRIM sticker & the distributor sticker or not. (It just for the warranty purpose) & make sure that the warranty card must be chop by their company stamp & provide the receipt.

10. Check the memory card also during the checking process before deal. [OPTIONAL]

11. Press *#92702689# to check the life timer, see whether is NEW / RECON set.

P/S : I know is just similar like the Original, AP Set & Water Set thread. Please don't be mistaken about i want to spam at here. My thread is just show up the step for those buyer planning to purchase the mobile device as a guide on it. Moderators can be close it up if you want to do so.

if we buy from import from China for Huawei or Mi or whatever brand, there are certain models not launch yet in msia, if come to warranty, can we just send to msia huawei/Mi?

if i buy second hand phone with few months warranty left, if come to warranty, phone need to send back to seller or local huawei/Mi/samsung/lg/htc, etc... i got read some stated warranty is not transferable to 3rd party, means they will check with IC and name of receipt?

Guys, I have one question here.
See, my friend bought a secondhand iphone6 a year before. Now he wants to sell it to buy another iphone (iphone 8 if im not mistaken).
-
Long story short, upon COD my friend reset everything in the iphone. Then when the buyer wanted to use it the iphone requires apple ID of the original user.
-
Well ofcourse my friend couldn't remember anything, its been a year. Now the buyer cancelled the purchase and the phone is locked cant be used.

So what is the solution? Or maybe after this how to avoid such problem? Because Im planning on buying a secondhand unit of iphone as well.
