Yep I've seen that on most policies

Is it normal for phone insurance not to cover you for the first 14 days of the policy?

Got cover my s10 with Blue insurance and only noticing this now.

Think I ll put it back in its box for 2 weeks ha ha

"This policy does not cover any claim made, or any event causing the need for a claim to be made, that occurs within the first 14 days of the start date of the policy or the first 14 days of any amendment to your policy where the electronic gadget has not been insured within 14 days of purchase. This also applies if you add loss cover after inception of the policy."

pulled the trigger on the 10e - €267 on an upgrade from 3 (2 year contract at €30 per month). Was already paying €25 per month sim free. (small business account - 8 users)

No brainer.

Lets see.

They're not dodgy. They're Pakistani guys from the phone shops in town advertising. They're on sale in the same shops for the same price

I got my last two phones from these type of guys and so did my brother and never had an issue with them.

I have come across several phones from those shops that are blacklisted. Your sim will work it doesnt mean theres no issue with them. They are mostly UK blacklisted phones sold here. They are known for that and avoiding tax etc. If they were actually legit ask them for a VAT receipt, you will never get one.

That's always the risk and you'll never know until you're stung, could even be a fake or anything.

Even on the small chance it's legitimate, I'd pay the bit extra to avoid adverts altogether.

What’s the craic with the phones that are on sale on adverts?

Are they risky? I mean if they are bought on contract originally and then someone stops paying their bill and get black listed.

Personally I never buy a phone from those shops bases in D1, all are known for selling UK blacklisted insurance claims, card scams, contract scam over here. I have come across several people with blacklisted phones from those shops. Most people never check as long as their sim works in them.

For private sellers, always go for those selling pre-pay one with Irish store receipts. Safest option especially if they have decent feedback. As they are all dual sim and factory unlocked you dont have to worry about bloatware, missing features, late updates etc

A friend of mine bought one before and a month or 2 later it was blacklisted. He managed to get it unblocked in one of them Chinese phone shops. They said people are always doing it, selling phones and then claiming them as stolen on insurance.

Yeah you have to kinda wonder how they can sell for a bit cheaper snd still make profit, wonder where they get them from....

Grey Market imports normally. Get blocked all the time when the original bill holder cancels or fails to pay.

Seen it with a few friends who got "great deals" on adverts. Can't be selling a phone for 800 euro that is 1020 new and only a week old without something dodgy happening.

Some will be bulk imports and are probably grand (though will have weird firmware versions), but it's too easy buy one that someone will get blacklisted within hours of you taking it home.

I noticed Google was constantly running in the background and generally using a lot of battery, so withdrew all permissions. It vastly improved battery life for my S10+

Very happy with this last 2 days of charge:

Poor battery on S10 plus and last years Huawei P20 Pro has a superior camera and battery.

Re: Youtube

Think it's only for current non-premium members, or those who haven't availed of a trial period before with the service or Google Music etc

Doesn't show for me anyway as i'm currently premium following a trial in the past.

Edit - found this

The Galaxy S10e, S10, and S10+ officially launched today after debuting at Samsung Unpacked 2019 last month. YouTube is offering four months of its ad-free Premium ($11.99/month) service to owners of those phones to promote YouTube Music against incumbent Spotify.

Beyond music streaming, this YouTube deal tries to differentiate itself with video content, highlighting the Galaxy S10’s HDR10+ certified Dynamic AMOLED screen. Other touted hardware features include background playback for video and offline download with Wi-Fi 6.

Google is also bringing this deal to other Samsung Galaxy devices. The Galaxy Fold and Galaxy Tab S5e will benefit from the same four-month trial, while Google is offering another limited deal to other Samsung devices until 2020.

And all other Samsung Galaxy device owners who activate a device between February 20, 2019 – February 29, 2020 will be able to try YouTube Premium for 2 months free*. Both 4- and 2-month offers are available globally where Samsung Galaxy devices and YouTube Premium are available**.

There is some fine print, notably it’s only available to new customers:

Standard eligibility applies: Offer only available to customers who are not current YouTube Premium, YouTube Music Premium or Google Play Music subscribers, have not been YouTube Premium, YouTube Music Premium, YouTube Red, or Google Play Music subscribers, nor participated in a YouTube Premium, YouTube Music Premium, Google Play Music, or YouTube Red trial before.

Anyone know how to stop the no signal notification? Signal in my wife's parent's house is patchy and everytime the signal drops I get a beep and a vibration to tell me the signal has dropped, very annoying.

Can you swipe left on the notification message itself for options? Then press the cog for additional options.

How are you finding the audio and battery life on the s10 compared to the HTC?

I haven't used it much, first impression is that the audio is as good or better, I was surprised to see that the battery was nearly gone the other day after a day of alot of talk time, maybe I am mistaken about it being fully charged but first impression is that the battery will take less use than the HTC which I never felt wasn't going to see the day out for me

I haven't copied and pasted links before so hopefully the above works.

Probably bad form to reply to my own post, but got confirmation email yesterday. Buds to be dispatched in next 30 days.
