[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] latindor17:
I am with Sprint under my dads account. It is a family plan with my sister, my dad and I. Heres my question, I just want to know if I can order safely from Wirefly without any fuse, in other words, they will send me my phone without attempting to change our plan, rise our bill or anything like that. I just want to upgrade my phone to the Galaxy Nexus with the same plan intact, nothing change. The reason I am asking this is because I once tried to order a phone from Amazon (at the same price of a normal upgrade), and they wanted me to get a brand new number and plan.

Thanks for your help.

P.S. I cant believe they are selling this phone for 50 bucks. I am awed ._.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] latindor17:
Anyone?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
it is only that price with a contract. they will make you sign up for 2yr sprint contract before selling you the phone.

yup confirmed

$49.99

with a new Sprint account

look right under the price tag in small writing
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] latindor17:
Wow, I dont know how I missed that. lol

Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] obsanity:
DO NOT buy from wirefly. There are too many problems with that company to list them all here.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Wirefly_Kim:
Hello latindor17: Wirefly can certainly upgrade your phone without changing your plan or the amount you pay every month (provided you’re not on an old grandfathered rate plan the carrier no longer offers, in which case you may be asked to choose a current rate plan – but if that were the case, Wirefly would always contact you for approval before proceeding with your order). Darunion is correct that you will need you renew your contract for 2 years in order to be eligible for the price on the website, but you do not need to get a new number, you may keep your existing number without a problem. There are no other hidden fees or charges, as long as you maintain your account in good standing (and don’t downgrade your plan) within 6 months of your activation date. For more information on this, please see http://www.wirefly.com/about/low-phone-prices/?referringdomain=wirefly&oflag=specialoffer.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sn0warmy:
What? I used Wirefly to get a Galaxy SIII as an upgrade on my T-Mobile account with absolutely no issues. They simply checked to see if I was eligible for an upgrade and once they verified that I was I purchased a Galaxy SIII as an upgrade for $200. They did not screw with my plan at all.

It was much cheaper than going through T-Mobile directly ($379 for the phone at the time) and they shipped the phone extremely fast. I'd use them again in a heartbeat.

** I should mention that I have since sold the Galaxy SIII and reverted back to the GNex because it just wasn't the same. But that's neither here nor there. :highfive:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Morphling27:
What Ms. Kim said here is exactly why you SHOULDN'T go with wirefly or any other similar service. They make you sign an additional contract, apparently in this case for 6 months, that has NOTHING to do with Sprint. Well, technically it does since it stipulates you must stay with Sprint for 6 months, but this contract isn't with Sprint.

So, if you move, find a better deal, find a reason to terminate without an ETF, etc., you're still on the hook with this company for 6 months. If you like buying through a 3rd party, I think Best Buy and Radioshak both still don't require this anti-consumer tactic.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sn0warmy:
Wow. I didn't realize that when I did it. Luckily if you plan on sticking with your current contract for more than 6 months this won't effect you (like most people). But it would be quite annoying if you did need to switch carriers quicker than expected.

Good to know.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jdiddy_ub:
what reason could you find to terminate without an ETF though? as far as i know death is the only exception..and sometimes that doesnt even work

the stipulation (as i understand it) is that you just have to hold your end of the bargain for 6 months (something you already agreed to with your carrier by signing a 2 year anyway)...the reason for the 6 months is because thats the contract they have with the carriers..they recruit or keep customers for carriers and pass on the commission to us (which is why they can sell the phones cheaper)

its not like they are going to kill you if you break the wirefly contract..you just end up paying retail for the phone...as long as you are certain about the phone and plan that you are purchasing i dont see a problem...if you have buyers remorse or you don't do your homework and want to cut the cord..then yeah...you're gonna pay for it..thats kinda what happens when you break any contract (cell phone or otherwise)

i have been researching this company as well...reading customer comments and their fine print..im thinking about upgrading to the Note 2 through them...$300 as opposed to $420 with tmobile ($370 AFTER mail in rebate)

if kim from wirefly is still reading this...the phone is listed as $300 (for upgrades)...do you know what the end cost is gonna be? is it $300? or is there gonna be upgrade fees and tax and my first born?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sn0warmy:
I'm pretty sure no additional tax is charged on top of the listed price. I think T-Mobile charged me an upgrade fee but instantly credited it back to me on my next bill.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Wirefly_Kim:
Hello Morphling,

Our 181 day rule is based on a contractual agreement that we have with the carriers. We don't get compensated for a sale from the carrier until after this time frame has been met. All 3rd party dealers have a stipulation period that customers must abide by even though the terms and conditions can vary from company to company, this is an industry standard. Let me know if I can answer any questions for you.

---------- Post added at 02:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:16 AM ----------

Hello jdiddy_ub,

The carrier will charge you an upgrade fee but this is only paid once on the first billing cycle following the upgrade. The taxes for the service is assessed by the carrier and varies depending on where you live. If you are keeping the same rate plan then your taxes should not be any different then what you are currently paying now. Let me know if I can answer any further questions.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jdiddy_ub:
I'm not asking about the tax for service.. i am asking about tax from the cost of the phone

[General Questions and Answers] BBEG:
Hey all.

Are batteries in Android phones generally interchangeable? Specifically those phones without user replaceable batteries? I know many (most?) are only covered by a sort of "screen" and are mounted in a wired plug, so they must be replaceable, just not easily so. The goal is to replace a smaller capacity battery with a larger capacity one; it would be pretty damn cool to get a huge Razr Maxx battery into a phone with half the capacity, you know?
[General Questions and Answers] post-mortem:
If it physically fits, and has the same pinouts, you're good to go. You need to find out the specs of replacement batteries. Compare the replacement part for your phone with that of a different one. If the specs don't match, it won't work.
[General Questions and Answers] BBEG:
Hm, it looks like the size varies quite a bit with batteries. Is physical size directly related to capacity? That may put a damper on my plan...
[General Questions and Answers] post-mortem:
Usually, but not always. It depends on how it's built, what technology is used, and how many internal cells there are.
[General Questions and Answers] BBEG:
So, little update, now with the MX in hand. The battery is 71mm long by 35mm wide by some unknown, presumably standard depth. Does anybody know how to search for batteries by dimensions or is that pretty well unheard of?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunbuster363:
My friend got this SGA with 2.3 version. He said the phone have too little memory.

I can't think of anyway to help him excepting flashing a better rom for him.

Given that rooting/flash a new rom is risky, although I would be cautious to do it, I can't guarantee safety of his phone.

Maybe I should let him stuck with his phone?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Galaxy_Rohit:

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MeltingSnowman:
Before I installed on my Ace my first custom rom (cyanogenmod 7) I googled a lot to be prepared if something went wrong. Fortunately everything goes well and after a few months I reflashed a stock rom. So the point is to be preapered to everything when you do this things and be sure of what are you flashing is designed for Ace because if is not you will brick your phone. The solution for low internal is Root + app2sd + sd ext partition. On google there are a lots of guides that helps you to do this. So...good luck :)

Thanks for taking the time. I've been working at fixing this for hours now, and to no avail. I was following the instructions found here (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1808332&highlight=reboot) ...but the short of it was I was upgrading my Hboot so that I could flash a JB ROM. Here's where the problem is, I have no recovery. When I try to access my 4EXT from fastboot, it shows a picture of a phone lying down with the app update symbol (an arrow pointing down with two or three, cant remember right now, around it) over it. Then after a short while it is replaced by a picture of a phone with an exclamation in a triangle. When I try to load a new recovery with SDK it says FAILED (remote: not allowed). I also tried loading back to Hboot 1.50, still nothing. If it matters, my phone came with 1.50.

I greatly appreciate any advice. Here's my current setup.

CDMA Evo 3d

Hboot 1.58 locked S-OFF

Radio 1.09.00.0706

Software 2.89.651.2 710RD
[HTC EVO 3D] coal686:
I would download the zip from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1889438

Then lock the bootloader in fastboot using fastboot oem lock. Run the ruu.exe to put your phone at stock (you'll still be s-off). Hopefully phone will boot.

You would then flash whichever hboot and recovery you want and flash a ROM.
[HTC EVO 3D] mnomaanw:
No worries, all the stock hboots (if not unlocked using htcdev) won't allow you to use fast boot to flash recovery/boot partition even though you are s-off.

You can use a custom hboot like revolutionary / juopunutbears / eng hboot to use those commands. To flash another hboot, and just download the respective PG86IMG.zip and put it on the root of sdcard.

OR

If you current ROM is rooted, go to 4ext.net and download the free version and use it to install 4ext recovery on your phone or use flash image gui by joeykrim to flash recovery.

Those two apps will work on any hboot but your ROM should be rooted.

Hope this helps...
[HTC EVO 3D] sic_inside:
How did I know Coal would come to my rescue. Well after more work, and your great advice, I got it working again. The trick was I needed a JBear Hboot zip. Thanks again Coal, you are a legend.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Strapt:
has anyone here figured out how to draw on saved pictures in the gallery? Every time I do it flips the picture around and greys it out.

I havent been able to find a way to draw on the actual picture itself. I swear I saw something on the original note that let you do that .. but it had a lot of editing options .. not sure if the Note II has that or not.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] mastajest:
Two ways:

1. Cut the picture from the screen by pressing the pen button and lassoing the image. Then you can insert it from the clipboard on a note.

2. Press the pen button, tap and hold on the screen to take a screenshot

If you go to s note and select idea sketch then the plus sign top right and select idea note...then top rightish of that there is a button that looks like a picture which is an insert menu...you can select images then gallery...and pick the picture you want to draw on.

At the end you have to save it as a jpg file.

I figured it out some way with this method and managed to draw on a pic of one of my cats and put it on Facebook but it seems like there should be something easier.

I don't understand the flip over/grey out thing it does if you do it through gallery either. I guess i need to do some reading somewhere to learn how to use this thing!

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Venekor:
They say the screen is 4.7 but also advertise on screen buttons and for some reason the screen just looks smaller than 4.7 inch. The buttons always seem to be there, it's my understand that on screen buttons means that when they aren't needed that they go and that part of the screen that was dedicated to those buttons returns to normal function. I've seen no proof of this however and was wondering if they're just dedicated buttons and it's being called on screen so they can make the screen larger in the spec sheets? Or if the screen is 4.7inch and those buttons are nothing to do with the visible screen size?

Thanx.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacklebott:
The buttons go away during full screen videos, and other apps that use full screen mode (like many games). The screen itself is not smaller than advertised, you're just getting a slightly lower resolution than advertised, when not in full screen mode
[Nexus 4 General] SNNTEC:
Days after google announced its 4, 7, and 10 nexus devices, i've been doing some thinking about it. And decided to express my thoughts on the matter, being on a CDMA carrier, this binds me in a snatch or pass situation. Hoping to hear from those in my similar situation, and all those who are on GSM carriers, will you pick up the Nexus 4 even if you just recently upgraded or activated a new phone?. Can this purchase be justified if you own an up to date phone such as Galaxy note 2, Galaxy S3, or maybe iphone 5 perhaps. Looking forward to hearing your feedback!

Hi guys,

I've read a lot about the HOX but most of the information here is from the At&t version. I have the Rogers one, so I know I can unlock the bootloader no problem. Although coming from firmware 1.94 do I need to do the steps where you flash the boot.img into fastboot before flashing the .zip from recovery. This has kept me going for a while, so now I'm asking :)

While I'm at it, about flashing radio…does the performance of one radio vs another has anything to do with the carrier you're with. This is a confusing part for me.

Alright thanks!!

hboot 1.11
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Deleted member 3452239:
I have no idea if 1.11 applied write protection. Radio doesn't matter on your carrier

Try to flash a ROM through recovery. If you boot loop you will need to flash the boot.IMG in fastboot as well

No need for extra flashing on Rogers 1.11.
