gold or silver note 5 - Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

does anyone know or even think the U.S market will get the gold or silver note 5 any time soon?I really want a silver one.I don't understand why they would show all those colors at there press release but not make them available.It is kind of upsetting and makes me wonder what is wrong with samsung marketing people.I wonder how many more sales they could of had at the release with those colors.

Yeah I feel you. In my country only the Black and Gold are available and I really wanted either the White or Silver, because these 2 colors don't show fingerprints a lot. The Black and Gold are constantly dirty. I wipe mine down at least twice a day and it's still constantly disgusting.
To answer your question, no I don't think colors will be available everywhere. They are market dependent. Maybe down the road they will arrive but by that time it'll be too late to own a Note5 anyways

I was in the same boat. I'm on AT&T and didn't like the black (blue?) option or the white one.
I really liked silver and loved the gold.
I ended up buying the N920i international model and am currently using it on AT&T flawlessly.
No complaints whatsoever.

I am on verizon so i don't think a international model would work or i would order it right now.Any one know if there is a international model that works on verizon in gold or silver?

No there isn't, I checked and nothing works on Verizon except for Sprint and Verizon phones.
The one I have is not compatible either. Sorry.

[TPU Case] Are these fake?

So i bought a m*****y case for about $12 in my country (ph) and i wasn't aware of counterfeits.
But then, i encountered these:

https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.158250030919750.38542.140699362674817&type=3
So now i'm doubting. The material is of high quality Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) case. So i really don't know.
1. The box does not have hologram sticker
2. The box's design is 100% different from the one advertised by the korean company
See for yourself (actual pictures, taken from nexus s):

Doubt it. I don't believe they faked the Nexus S ones.

Looks like the real thing. From the placement of the logos and the packaging looks very legit. I'm from PH also. Where did you get it? Online or local sellers? Wish seeing one in white for my nexus s.

local seller only has yellow and red, so i bought yellow. i ordered white via ebay. will arrive within a month.
Man, I could rock on with the red one for now, til the white one comes along. Could you please indulge me with the location where you got it from, if you wouldn't mind? =)

I'll pm you with the seller's shop name, location, and contact number. But there's a small chance the red one's still there.
I was planning to get the black one 3 days prior to purchase date but when i went there it's gone.
Looks pretty real to me
the price is normale and the quality in photo is good... why someone would need now to fake a cover of the nexus s?
Nope it's a real product I have once red for my nexus s i9023 and it's fantastic

? Possible White Nexus 4 @ Carphone Warehouse? UK

I went into my local CPW yesterday to ask about the availability of the N4 this week, the girl I spoke to looked it up (big screen flashing up warning NOT to give customers any info and to keep stock in the back etc)
I asked if she could look up the price for SIM fee and she tried another approach, searching on the system for lg nexus 4, a simple screen popped up with the price for 2 nexus 4's.... now, unless my eyes deceived me, I saw one for "nexus 4" and one for "nexus 4 White" (both said £389.99 or similar)
Obviously as I wasn't looking for that info it didn't really sink in until a moment or two later so by that time the screen had been closed etc.... just wondering if anyone had seen anything similar? I don't want to cause any undue excitement, pant wetting etc but surely it's not beyond the realms of possibility? I had a quick search but couldn't see any mention of it...
Anybody? Maybe the o2 exclusivity thing has the white one as part of it?
I hate white phones so not interested, but one of you lot might be into it!
We will find out tomorrow I suppose, but you heard it here first eh!
(....probably been old news for a while or complete rubbish so slinks off to cry....)

Yeah there was a picture on Twitter a while back showing a CPW display that had both black and white options on it.

Ah, it's right enough then... I thought for a second I'd imagined it. I read that article too, must have been before the update with the white option.
Sorry for the pointless post then!

Strange we haven't heard anything official from either Google or LG about it... Wonder how it looks, as my Gnex is the white version.
Please continue discussion here

Are all GG made in Korea?

Hi
It's a curious question. I'm seeing some online sellers in my country selling GG with different boxes (larger) than the one my GG came in. My box was smaller and also i'm seeing a different lettering of the inside of that watch vs mine.
Have a look at this link: http://articulo.mercadolibre.com.ve/MLV-415953986-nuevo-reloj-samsung-galaxy-gear-_JM
My GG on the inside back has a BC symbol and 6 lines of lettering and also reads made in Korea. I understand this is the usual right? Bit confused with that vendor images.
Not sure where these ones were made but China usually takes over production after awhile. At least from what I have seen from older samsung products. However the gear is relatively new so I doubt anyone else besides samsung (Korea) is making them right now. Packaging may vary.

Mine just says 'Made by Samsung'. No country of origin mentioned at all? I don't have a BC symbol either? I do have in large print ce0168
This what mine reads:

Vietnam as well
Looks like Korea pawned off the manufacturing to Vietnam instead of China this time. Mine says Korea but I got mine the first week it came out.

Bought in Laos.
I bought in UK
Wow they all look much different. Please upload more pics! for the curiosity.
Mine says "Made in Korea by Samsung" both on the watch and the box. FYI the box mines came in is a more of a cube not a rectangular like the one post on that website.

If anyone saw my thread about the group buy so I hope one day we will be able to do it for many products such as this one ..
Till then I've bought it from Amazon like the rest of us
I must say I was skeptical but no doubt , the Montar by WinnerGear is really the best !!

Looks good! What temperature does it get where you live? I get nervous about leaving stuff like this in my car in the summer cause it's 120F here in the summer and gets a lot hotter in a black car in a parking lot lol. I've had all kinds of plastics melt(ID covers, plastic cards etc..). I'd be worried that the plastic that attaches to the window would warp in the summer heat here..
Very nice car mount. I'm picking up my edge today and I might be purchasing this soon! Now... is that a Silver edge..? I'm kinda disappointed that it isn't being offered in the US

That'd a gold edge. The lighting is causing the color to look different.

Ahh, I see it now. I just picked up a gold one yesterday and wow is it GORGEOUS
What's wrong with buying just a Samsung car holder?
I have it since the Galaxy Note and is stable and working as intended.

Safest place to buy a Nexus 6 .. !?

Guys i already own a Nexus 6 but i am sad about a 'defected screen issue' black bar appears on the screen on darkish grey backgrounds , i really love this phone alot and im thinking of ordering another one to get rid of this screen issue..
so i want to know what is the best place to buy it ? i order them online cause we dont have Nexus phones where i live (middle east).
i had mine (32gig edition) purchased off amazon for 349, 400$ in total with shipping.
here is the picture of the actual problem, would you guys suggest me to keep it ..? but its difficult for me to deal with , to be limited to white and pitch black themes only really kills it for me :/ (cause on white and pitch black, i dont notice the bar at all)
here is the picture

( To all those that use the CM/Layer theme engines , could you please try using a grey theme and closely focus your eyes on the screen and look if you can see some darkish gradient patches?! ) Appreciated. going abit too much OCD on this problem of mine, sorry for the hassle guys !
overall i would love to keep this Beast "wouldnt want to sell and put 100$ on top just to be able to order it again, thats too much of a hassle"
I've never priced it but do you have phone repair shops there? probably cheaper than a replacement phone. If not Amazon is fine just make sure it's from a reputable seller with good feedback.

well we do have phone repair shops here, but i dont know if they would be able to fix it, i am afraid they would completely destroy the screen xD but i dunno, i will ask around i guess.. we do have some pros. but im not sure if they can fix this kind of issue.
