The sprint gs3 will cost 49.99 with new contract or upgrade at RadioShack on black friday.

Sent from my SPH-L710
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Hordee:
Sprint is supposedly offering the s3 in their corporate stores for 49$ as well.

I went to Sam's club to inquire and the "rep" There said that it was only at&t that was offering the 96¢ s3.. I know the reps are often ignorant and misguided, but I thought I would share.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] playya:
Guys as long as you are signing up for a new 2 year deal you will get the phone at the advertised price. That is also considering you are do an upgrade. I have purchased phones from Sams Club as well as a few other places outside of Sprint. They basically want you to resign a 2 year to lock it in at those prices.

Out of Contract = .96

New Contract = .96

In Contract = Full Retail Price

has anyone on sero tried to update at sams club before? i'm wanting to pick up a couple of these on renewal but not sure if they can process the renewals for sero there. hopefully if they can't i can call in to sprint and work it out.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] coreyzw:
Just as a heads up. Sam's club is having a "private" sales event this sunday (the 18th) from 8pm -10pm with this sale. It is all carriers for new contracts. I plan on swapping from Sprint to Tmo since I dont get service at my house and ill be using this deal. Got fed up with sprint and their airrave issues and they refuse to let me out of my contract without an ETF on both lines, so selling my used phones on CL and going with Tmo.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dubs.law:
What's that part about "online Nov. 21st"? Is this offer going to be available online?

Also, when you buy in store at Sams do you have to activate the phone at the store? Reason I ask is because I have an upgrade on my account, but want use the upgrade to gift my nephew for Xmas. I know at the stores they make you activate the phone on the spot and I don't wanna go through the pain of having the new s3 activated on the upgrade line for 24 hours before I can deactivate it and box it back up and give as a (used) gift...

It is my understanding that Sunday's VIP Private sale is only for plus members and with invitation only. Members can bring one guest. Great opportunity to jump on the great deal and not have to deal with the long lines of Black Friday.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jworkcoo:
Its store specific....It depends on what carriers your local Sam's Club carry. For instance, the closest one to me didn't carry Sprint so I called the one that did and they said that they will have them available.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] n2mschf:
So I'm happy that my Sam's Club is not that bright. Just picked up 3 new SGSIII's for under a buck each and did not have a so called invite. Just read the post about the sale today, called them up and she said they were going fast. Luckily I live 2 minutes away so ran down there and snagged them up. Sprint, AT&T & TMO services also the Sprint Note II for $148.00 with 2 year...liked it but it wasn't under a dollar! So...so long epic 4g hello new forum! I'll sure miss my Og SGI, hopefully this phone is as awesome as that phone is. Now to find an awesome ROM to go with it!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ffranco85:
I swung by Sam's about 5 pm and a line was already formed. I went inside to ask the sales person on the SG3 availability for Sprint. For whatever reason it was the carrier with least phones available. Long story short, I didn't like my odds so I called Best Buy for a price match. I had my new SG3 prior to the Sam's event starting and didn't have to wait in line. :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] clshores:
Does anyone think that Amazonwireless.com will match this offer?

That trumps me!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] xTmDarren:
most were probably there for the Vizio 60" wifi TV for $689.. Which also most Sam's were only allowed to sell 10. oh and I got one :)

Also I don't understand why so many Sam's Club had such few phones for different carriers.. They all had the options to order more before this event.. I know the one I work for had at least 15 of each color for each carrier.

[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] getdowner:
Firstly, I'm sorry if there's been any topic with the same problem.

So I'm using a Kindle Fire HD 7', rooted, google play store and external market links open just fine. But that's half a month ago, since the new firmware update (for which I had to re-root and reinstall google play) it seems that Amazon took extra caution to external market links since I can't go through the "External market links disabled ..." notification thingies now. Google store works fine, however. Thus, I'm wondering if anyone could help me with this, or confirm that is impossible (for now)? Peace out. :good:

[Motorola Droid Bionic] suresho:
Using the Droid XT875. I live in canada and was using the GB leak for the past 3 months.

recently updated to the .246 and having to issues to say the least.

I tried to convert to ICS and follow the instructions on this site and downloaded the correct files. The flash has failed on my phone using RSD Litev 5.7 . I get a failed flashing process at stage 1/22. This is where is stops.

I have read on this forum in multiple places that this can damage the phone. I have a HTC Desire im using but my question is simple. Given all the smart people on this forum am i screwed? :mad: My phone wont turn on and sometimes it will boot in fastboot when plug in. So i can work with the phone connected but im thinking its done and really not going to be fixed. lol.

Thanks.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Horror Business:
Isn't RSD Lite a Motorola tool? I don't think that would work with an HTC phone...
[Motorola Droid Bionic] suresho:
Sorry i might have worded that poorly. All the RSD lite and flashing tools were used on the motorola bionic device. The HTC is a seperate phone i have had for a while and currently used (its stock and worked fine). So if the motorola is F**ked then im ok with it. I just was curious if i can fixed the Motorola given it wont even turn on anymore :(. Or should just give up.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Horror Business:
If you can't get it to turn on at all, you're probably F'd. I've had that happen one time before, and using the actual wall changer to charge it got me back to the point that I could boot it and use RSD lite. I've never had the problem with it not getting past the first step, unless I wasn't following the instructions properly.

For Motorolas, you have to add MotoHotPlug and/or HotPlug governors, which seem to be similar to Interactive, albeit even more aggressive rampup of speed.

For grins, I'll run 3D mark / ice storm (regular) with the various Governors. Here's the results thus far:

CM10.1.2

Hotplug: 1926

Interactive: 1721

OnDemand: 1711

When I have time I'll run it in Icarus / stock and see if it makes a difference.

Two and a half years ago I got my Sony Xperia X10 unlocked in two hours by https://www.mobileincanada.com. Back then I had a coupon and it was $5.

Now I have no coupon and the cost is $20 (+HST), which is still the lowest price I can find. I'm going there again. The speed of unlocking is (understandably) dependent on the brand, apparently HTC, LG and Motorola provide phones in seconds, Samsung is reported to take between 8 and 24 minutes.

I'll report back if/when I get my code.

Well it took them two hours, but they supplied a code. To enable it you have to insert a SIM card from some carrier other than the one you're locked to, and then type in the code.

And then I saw this:

That post contains a method to access an internal system menu, and to use the menu to sim-unlock the phone. The command to get the menu does work on my Rogers GN2, and I followed the steps, but I don't have access to another carrier's micro-sim so I'm not yet able to test it.

It'll be a neat trick if it turns out to work, and it means that anyone's GN2 can be unlocked for free without needing mobileincanada.com (or anyone else). And if anyone knows where I might find documentation for the rest of that system menu, that would be appreciated.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dstech:
This method is confirmed to work on AT&T's GN2! Worked for me! Just follow the steps exactly and make sure you have a SIM card from another carrier to test when you reboot.

I got the Oleophobic after a lot of reading of reviews, and am very happy with it. I like to have a protector that I don't know is there, because the screen is so beautiful. I didn't think the anti-fingerprint thing was important, but it sure is nice. The S pen works fine and I don't have to worry about whether or not, over time, it will mark the glass. I thought it was kind of expensive, but I'm glad I got it, and the price is for 2.

No one tried the Ultra Fine?!?! Anyways I'll report my comment once reception.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mastergrim8:
From reading through multiple threads and forums (aside from XDA)

My understanding is this:

Ultra Crysal: Thicker (better against scratches), more fingerprints.

Ultra Oleophobic: Thinner (not as good against scratches), easier to remove fingerprints

I ordered the crystal with my Amazon Prime and I should get it when my phone comes in from my pre-order (weather permitting).
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] DanKicker:
I heard many people using ebay or amazon buying Spigen covers. Once uppon reception, they were fake.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] superchi:
I've bought three Spigen covers three different times from Amazon and received a legitimate product each time. SGP sells their products directly through Amazon.

I actually just received my Ultra Crystal covers today for my Note 2. It is very, very clear like the Ultra Nano I had for my GS3, but it is a little bit thicker. It does show a lot of fingerprints but I've conceded that this is just to be expected with these types of screen protectors. The S Pen works without any issues as well.

A quick google and I found there is compatible issue w/ s-pen so I ordered crystal instead via amazon. Got it last night and another confirmation that the crystal work ok with the note2 and s-pen.

The protector is slightly smaller than the glass but larger than the screen. the screen no longer get finger printed easily but your finger won't glide as smooth as non-protected screen and so is the s-pen. This may matter if you do art work on the GN2, so that goes a fair warning.

Ultra Crystal Rocks

No reason to take a photo of the Ultra Crystal. It probably wouldn't show up with out special lenses on an expensive camera. it's more or less invisible to the naked eye and run of the mill camera. Just look at your phone now. That's what it will look like after you put it on (assuming you do it correctly). If you want to see it after application, just to verify it hasn't fallen off without you noticing, you can look real closely and see its border at the outside edge of the top and bottom bezels and around the home button. In practice you will forget all about it and for all practical purposes it is invisible. You may feel a tiny bit more drag with the S-pen when you first put it on or after cleaning with alcohol but once you get a little finger oil on it it's just like glass. Trust me, applied correctly you won't know it's there until it performs its primary purpose and takes the damage that would have scratched your screen. A second screen is included in the package for that inevitable eventuality.

Till the time I had 2.3.6 (Gingerbread) everything worked perfectly. When I updated to 4.0.3, it had shown this problem. Some apps like Easy Battery Saver also stopped working. I did a CWM reset, it worked ok fut in no time it was back to the incorrect number of SMS Problem. I flashed using Odin to the official 2.3.6 firmware and did over the air upgrade again, but still it is reporting the same problem. I found various threads, where there are also other people who have reported such errors. I do not know what to do. Any suggestions.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShimaMiku:
Hello!

I recently order my Note II from Expansys and the first thing I noticed when I was taking everything out of the box and putting the batter in the phone is the water indicator sticker. I don't know if they change styles, but I am used to plain white stickers, and if moisture gets in the phone it either turns to red or red Xs. Immediately I noticed that this sticker has blue Xs in it, and I don't know if that is the style now that changes to red when it gets wet, or if it has already indicated wetness.

I called them immediately and the guy put me on hold to go check the other phones they have around and said they are all like that. Of course I'm not satisfied with that answer and am coming to you guys. Also, the box showed no signs of tampering that anyone else had been in the box.

Thanks!
