Thought you were trolling me lol. Not all best buys do it, I tried with Hialeah, Florida and they told me no. Idk why the hell since I asked my manager and he said all best buys do it. It's like we aren't educated the same on our policies. I use price matching to get more sales since sometimes our customers are iffy.... lower price equals guaranteed sale :D

Too bad I don't make commission :(

How much did the total come to after taxes?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] maluminse:
Wow. Got r@&ed by Sprint store. $200 on contract renewal.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dito33:
Amazon will ship your phone for free and no tax depends on the state, in my case no tax. If no in a hurry since takes 2 days I think that's a better deal.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] iomega311:
I have upgraded twice threw Amazon. The last time I upgraded, I ordered my GS3 around 5PM on a Wednesday, had my phone at 6pm on Friday. Free shipping. Acivation was a breeze. And my GS3 was $139 as an upgrade. Best buy wanted $199! They wouldn't price match in Idaho where I am.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jstrayy:
Yea, just because my Bestbuy price matches doesn't mean all do. Apparently it is up to their discretion and we have no corporate policy on price matching Amazon. Sorry guys! So ymmv just call a couple different ones and see what they tell you.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] owlchemist:
I know my local best buy would not price match, but the one where my friends sister works was willing to. However, once I told them amazon had the evo lte for 49.99 they quickly told me no. Amazon is great unless you prefer b&m or have best buy gift cards.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jstrayy:
That's why you ask if they price match first. They tend to do that if the price offset is a lot. They can't say yes and then no or you can call the manager who most likely will give the okay.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mdabeezy:
I tried to get my local Best Buy to price match to no avail, so I just ordered it from amazon called them about overnight shipping and they cancelled the first order and made a second order with overnight shipping for free. Amazon wireless has top notch customer service I highly recommend them.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jstrayy:
Mobile solutions on eBay has it for $99 so it would be a definite price match now :D

anyone with a Sero-P plan have any success upgrading their phone at best buy? i heard that best buy can't access Sero-P accounts and a hassle getting upgrades done there.

i will probably just go to a corp store but i don't think they price match.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Speedin07si:
Corporate stores do not price match. And best buy doesn't deal with grandfather'd in accounts such as the sero plan and I recently learned they don't touch business accounts either ,cause it probably takes to many overrides to do.

I was in and out of best buy in 15 min. With my new gs3.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tft:
yeah, i didn't want to go thru the hassle with best buy and the possibility of them screwing up my plan.. i just got back upgrading through a corporate store. the sales rep couldn't do the phone upgrade using their computer so she had to call sprint directly because apparently they don't have access to sero accounts in a corp store. i ended up paying $199 but was in and out in less than 10 minutes.. think it was worth paying a little more with no hassle.

(btw, sprint has a new promo where you pay $199 for phone and get $100 back in a American express gift card, but it's only for new lines).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kraftyland:
Kicking myself in the but for not waiting a little longer.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] molitar:
It was $149 for upgrade renewal with Amazon or $99 for new account.. This was an upgrade and Best Buy matched it. not only that Best Buy had it in White :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] DroidModder:
I actually got price matched too...but thats cuz I work at Best Buy! ;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Sephirothvfc:
Btw we are starting to price match online retailers and whole sale stores which we didn't do before. But it also has to be in a reasonable price match. If phone is $149.99 everywhere but Amazon has for .01¢ then we won't do it. But we will do a $50 price match. At least this is what I was told by my manager. This will not be advertised but we can do it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Maddball:
I walked in bestbuy this past Sunday just cause I love the store. Saw a big crowd in the mobile dept and went to see why. They were selling the phone for $99. They gave me $80 for my Htc evo 3d. Deal of a lifetime. :)

Actually they told me that they are doing it just for the holidays. That was told by 3 diferrent store managers in 3 different cities. First two just didnt have them in stock. They told me as long as its from amazon and not a third party seller in behave of amazon.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] IgottaT/A:
Check out Letstalk.com, they had to gs3 for $49.99. Great deals on sprint phones there.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] speeddevil:
I got mine for $30 from Amazon also. I ordered at the end of November, and it was on back order, wasn't supposed to get here until mid January. I only ended up waiting about a week and got it. Best $30 I've ever spent.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Censura_Umbra:
Just so you all know. Best buy isn't supposed to price match mobile phones. So everyone that got thwart was lucky
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] SamsungGalaxyFan:
Got it for $29.99 from Amazon Wireless on black friday brand new! (with 2 year contract) :P they only had it for that price for a few hours.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kmx:
Well I feel I got the best deal out of anybody here.

The day after Christmas I got the Sprint Samsung galaxy 3 in blue for $0.01 plus around $57 in California taxes on the full retail price of the phone.

I got lucky because the first best buy I went to here in Los Angeles wouldn't price match. But the second one I went to price matched with no problem since I had the ad and Amazon showed it in stock.

It took about 4-5 employees because of the override and getting approval since they didn't want to get in trouble since the phone was basically free.

They were all pretty shocked that I was able to find this deal and get it price matched.

So I gave them $60 cash got my change and walked out the door with a big smile on my face holding my brand new samsung galaxy 3.

I can't post a picture of the receipt for proof if anybody wants to see it.

For everybody else trying to get a great deal like this just goto a few stores and kindly asked them if they price match amazon, then when it's time show them the print out of the ad and they will double check on their computer then the rest handles itself.

Like today amazon has the white version for $0.01 for new contracts so just check amazon on a regular basis.

Good luck everyone.

Thanks.

I am presently running stock rooted rom with Clockworkmod Recovery. The software version is 1.29.720.11. As the 2.xx.xxx.xx series is coming very soon I was wondering if I can get OTA update directly. I am aware that stock recovery is required but a noob and can't take the risk of bricking it. Can anyone link me with a proper post for the same? Or help me out with stock recovery for 1.29.720.11 and tell me how to flash it?
[HTC One X] BenPope:
It might be worth checking the Q&A section, there's about one post per day asking how to return to stock and half of those are so that an OTA can be received. Your problem is not unique.

You just have to grab the stock recovery, flash it (same as you did with cwm, just a different file), fastboot oem lock, apply update, job done.
[HTC One X] Dark_Avenger:
I don't think that relocking the bootloader is needed. All I'm doing is to flash the stock recovery that matches your ROM version. Relocking the bootloader is needed for RUU.
[HTC One X] EddyOS:
The 'stock' recovery isn't RUU-dependent - it's the same one in all RUUs
[HTC One X] kkrazzyyguy:
The main doubt arises here . I have the Stock recovery.img from 1.29.401.11 . Will it work with the Indian ROM 1.29.720.11?
[HTC One X] Warell:
You can get the stock recovery, version 1.29.707.11 from here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=27261622&postcount=1149
[HTC One X] trevagreene:
Why don't you just wait for a ROM to be based on the new update and use Clockworkmod to flash it ? You then wouldn't have to worry about re-unlocking, re-rooting etc.
[HTC One X] santoshrane:
Guess the new ROM is out on 18th August right?
[HTC One X] zerozoneice:
surprised people haven't started yet asking WHEN exactly on 18th....
[HTC One X] eteyen1:
WHEN exactly on the 18th?!! I wanna know, I wanna know! :cyclops:
[HTC One X] shadehh:
My grand grand dad used to work on the one x and he told me it will be released on the 18th of august, at 18 o'clock, 18th minute and 18th second.

It will be uploaded to 18 people only and the others will have to wait 18 years to recieve the next 18 OTA. GL
[HTC One X] zerozoneice:
since he USED to work i don't consider this a reliable source :)

he probably got fired for leaking the 18th in the first place :D
[HTC One X] Fightspit:
Or, it will be released at 10:08 ? ^^

Development slowed down since there are no updates from Sony.. I am the one who likes to work on Official ROMs as it lets u use your phone with full hardware features working with stability...

You saw how I changed an Official Sony Stock ICS ROM to a completly AOSP ROM ... let JB come in, maybe I do same with that too but only if sony releases it..

For time being I dont think there is any use working on JB ROMs as performance will be the same and the extra features are not mind blowing enough to satisfy me of working on it...

Hi Guys...

im struggling here and im not sure where to turn next

Im in the UK and on the "3" network I have had my one x for about a month, i came from a wildfire so i wanted it rooted straight away so i could use TB

i rooted using this web page

http://www.redmondpie.com/root-htc-...workmod-recovery-and-supersu-how-to-tutorial/

but now im getting notifications there is an update which im quite interested in (im having problems with losing storage space...im now down to 5gb and i only have 2 albums and 1 video on there) so i click to install the update, but it takes me to a black screen with the android on its back and exclamation mark .....

can anyone help please, i quite like the current rom at the min so i would like to keep it the same, unless someone can show me one better

i have tried searching, but im getting more and more confused, im not very jargon and tech minded and the wildfire seems to be a lot easier

thanks for looking and please don't hate me too much
[HTC One X] joewong1991:
That's a ota update wich may course problems I would suggest usin arhd Rom its a stock based Rom.

I'm using arhd 8.1.0 and my phone runing supper smith and fast now its a very good Rom
[HTC One X] BenPope:
I think you need to decide whether you want the current ROM (which one?), something better or the OTA. After all, you only have one phone.
[HTC One X] Dark_Avenger:
In order to apply OTA you need a corresponding stock recovery that matches your ROM version.
[HTC One X] Manc:
sorry, my current rom is the stock 1.28.401.9....
[HTC One X] Manc:
ok you lost me on stock recovery:confused:
[HTC One X] BenPope:
If you haven't flashed a new recovery, only rooted, then:

fastboot oem lock

And apply the OTAs, you'll have two, 1.29.401.7 and 1.29.401.11, the latter fixes the storage issues.

You can then unlock and root again.
[HTC One X] Manc:
right relocked my phone (when i press volume down and start my phone it says ***relocked*** at the top) downloaded the update via the software update checker clicked install...then it reboots and on the HTC welcome page there is some red text (but flashes off too quick before i can read it) and then takes me back to the same screen where it says relocked at the top, but this time it says underneath it ***Security Warning***

anyone shed any light?

ok so my rom/or phone keeps deleting my downloaded apps and my data/app folder everytime i flash an update.zip do i have to make sure permissions to the folder are correct if it mounts it or make sure it unmounts the folder? in the updater-script file
[HTC EVO 3D] coal686:
Not to state the obvious, but does the script have a line in it to erase data/apps? Someone recently asked why their phone rebooted after installing a script and it was because the script had a reboot line in it. That's why I ask.

[Asus Transformer TF700] superflysocal:
i just had an episode of an issue that worries me.

I had the tf700 docked and put to sleep by closing the keyboard/tablet. 8 hours later, I pressed the power button and nothing turned on. I thought somehow the battery completely drained, so I plugged in power adapter and still nothing. I tried holding down power and nothing.

Then I undocked, and plugged in ac adapter. After holding down power button for quite a few seconds, i get th screen to come on and the message to confirm tuning the unit off. Apparently the unit has been on but the screen off.

After I rebooted, I find the unit sluggish as if I/O issues again.

I am on firmware .26 US latest. It has been fine until now.

My biggest concern is that I remember a friend of mine describing this issue with his TF101, and said the only way to get it back on was by plugging in the power adapter.

Anyone else can shed some light on this?
[Asus Transformer TF700] MartyHulskemper:
I've had this on my SGS2 a few times, and on my previous phone (LG O2x as welll) -- in both cases it was related to issues with deep sleep (and on the SGS2 standard custom kernel undervolting), implying that changing kernels would cure this (or make it immensely worse, hahaha ;) ). Having said that, I do recommend following this issue closely, and if this happens again, I'd reflash .26 from a full wipe. If it then still does it, I would suspect some hardware issue.

Again, to at least provide you a bit of reassurance: I've never encountered the error on my SGS2 again after flashing a (very, very nice) kernel, and the O2x only does it very infrequently now (but has crappy kernel development, at least when I checked last, so I'm still not very satisfied. Might tryCM9 with it or something...).
[Asus Transformer TF700] xRevilatioNx:
Before doing any of that I would do a "cold boot." That can solve your problem in its entirety before having to use drastic measures.
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
happened to me too, I did a "cold boot" and it seems fine now.
[Asus Transformer TF700] superflysocal:
what is a cold boot?

it has only happened once, so its probably infrequent. However, I am more afraid of the inopportune times it cn happen. What if it happened when i am away from home with no ac adapter, like on a plane? I won't be able to boot then?
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
Here is how to "cold boot" (copy and paste from other thread), should resolved your issue.

1. Press and hold down “power button” until the system shuts down.

2. Remove the SD card from Eee Pad.

3. Press and hold down “Volume down” button first, and then press and hold down the “Power” button until the screen appears with 2 icons, one is a droid and one is wipe data and upper left corner should said cold boot linux.) now let go your fingers. Make sure do not press any buttons until the screen mentioned screen appears. If you don't see the 2 icons in the middle of the screen re start from step 1.

5. There’s a line “Press <Vol_Up> to execute, <Vol_Down> to cancel wiping data. Press Volume Up button to execute the “Wipe Data”.

6. After the “Wipe Data” process is done, it will reboot automatically. Then Eee Pad should be able to enter the system successfully.
[Asus Transformer TF700] superflysocal:
oh, so cold boot means wiping all apps? have to reinstall everything from scatch r use ttanium backup?
[Asus Transformer TF700] d.nexus:
Hi, just wanted to add, happened to me also on my tf700,... I tried factory reset, didn't help, then I tried buhohitr advise of doing a cold boot wipe and that seems to be good.... is only been one day since I tried it, But so far so good... and yes, a wipe does delete your apps if you do a proper wipe.

Thanks!
