long story short, on the way home in KL i bought a samsung s8 " for a good price" , tested , it worked, used it, phoned with it, all cool.
get home and my ozzie sim doesn't work, so i take it to samsung store just 5 minutes away and ask the guy to check the settings to which he replies " i'd love to..........if it WAS a samsung !!! " LOL i've been had, i suspected as much and purchased knowing i was taking a risk, so RIGHT THEN, the screen starts shaking, and it start duplicating screens and crap as if it KNOWS i am in australia now.
and now the screen has gone haywire again.
i'd love to be someone that goes back and forth to KL so i could go back and make the guy eat the phone LOL but ohh well
caveat emptor, ohh well, other then the over pricing because of my skin colour it was the only thing i truly got ripped of on so i didn't do to bad, just $100, i just had a go at resetting it and it succeeded..........but into russian LOL
