Did u take a print out of amazon or did they checked for themselves?

They'll look it up themselves
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] PoppaGrizzly:
I purchased mine for $300. Asked the Best Buy rep at the time if they price matched Amazon and I was informed they didn't. Did some research and made a couple phone calls to other stores. A month later I walked in to the same store and calmly explained the situation to customer service and quickly got $150.00 cash back. Didn't even have to ask to speak to management or raise a ruckus. +1 to Best Buy customer service.

I bought my GN2 a couple weeks ago for 249. Saw that it went down to 199 for upgrade and went it to BB to get money back. When the rep checked, she ok'd the price match. When I looked at the receipt, she matched the 99 price for a new account vs the upgrade. I told her I had an upgrade and I didn't want to be dishonest. She said, "It's ok... Thanks for supporting us regardless. Have a good evening."

I love Best Buy.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] yankees45us:
That's exactly what happened to me. They gave me the new price for my renewal.

I think I'm just gonna add a line and get one from amazon for $169 then cancel one of my other lines Feb 1 when the contract expires
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] flexxoo:
I got the price match today they return me 400 because i bought 2 phones and at the end they cost 99.99 each!!!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] coolwater22:
didnt work for me :(

so today i went into two best buys. i brought a print out from amazon where it stated 99.99 for a new line. im due for an upgrade and was hoping to get that price but to no avail. they looked up in their comps, and said " we can price match you for the 199.99 price they currently have," but i passed on it. how did you guys get the new line activation price for upgrade..do you guys think that if i call sprint that they can give me the price of 99.99?? i reeeaaally want this phone....

btw im on sprint if that helps..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] shook187:
Uh no!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] coolwater22:
even ifi have been a customer for about 12 years....im still gonna try. doesnt hurt to try :P. ill post back my results after i call tommorow.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Marv916:
I think you gonna have to buy the phone at the 199 price and then hopefully get lucky when ya go in and ask for another price match. That is what I did but I paid 249 for mine and was only expecting 50 back since it says 199. I just got lucky along with a few others here.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] yankees45us:
Sprint will never price match unless the representative is desperate. The best they can do is give you a $100 credit. If your to get them to price match that will be first time I have ever seen that on my 10+ years of having sprint.

Sent from my Amazing Galaxy Note 2!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] coolwater22:
$50 credit to my account :)

like you guys said, they werent able to price match me even after i told them i had problems with the lack of service in my area and drop calls. They did however credit me $50 to my account for my troubles and are gonna waive the activation fee when i upgrade the phone later today. fifty is better then nothing. im gonna try and see if i can get free accessories at best buy :P..hopefully i dont sound to greedy :P..

thanks for the thread guys
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] krazie1:
So amazon has the note 2 for $99 right now and their in stock but best buy said that price was too low and they can't do that price because its like their losing money. But the guy was able to do $150 for the note 2 on new account for my brother in law. Really hoped the guy did the $99 but my in law was happy with the price.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] coolwater22:
thats bs. they can price match it. the guy just didnt want to. they have a policy where if you find a lower price within 30 days they will match it. i would try again and show him the policy. are you adding a line or did he get his own account?

btw if i find a price today thats is lower then theres and they match and then i come back around 20 days later showing a lower price will they match it again or are they only able to match it once?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] krazie1:
Yeah he talked to his manager to clear it but the manager told him to not to price match it cause its too low supposedly. Yeah he got a new account.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] flexxoo:
Thats bull**** they did it for me and they return me 400 back!!!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] coolwater22:
it was for sprint right, same color?? if it was then I would go back and tell them(nicely) to price match it because its their policy. If they dont, then I would go to a different best buy and asked to price match it. and if none of them do then just threaten to return it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] shibby80:
I got mine today for $169 they didnt even check had no problem matching the price
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] coolwater22:
im jealous. i found another price for 189.99. im gonna go tommorow and credit me the 10 dollars.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] 00mred00:
Yrmv...the mobile policy is different than the overall store...and it is the mobile manager's discretion on price matching.

Been there, done it, was told no ...talked to store gm, called corp and they could not override mobile dept, was sent gift card.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] yankees45us:
I would just tell them I want to return it. Most of the time they will just price match to keep you as a customer. If they still don't then return it if it's not too much of a hassle for you. Then see if buying it from the best buy rewards department will price match. They have a phone customer department that handles mobile sales. Good luck.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] coolwater22:
thats the same thing i told the other member XD..i found a lower price. im gonna go back tommorow and have them price match that
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] coolwater22:
btw i was wondering if best buy would price match for at&t or other companies if i was with sprint?? as i found a cheaper price for at&t.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] coolwater22:
$150 for note 2

https://ebay.bbymsolutions.com/deta...-ii-4g-mobile-phone-marble-white-sprint-/2519

i found this online today for those of you that still havent got the note 2 or thinking of getting it. if you still within 30 days of your purchase go back and see if you can get them to price match this. After all it is from their website..

:)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] yankees45us:
They will only match other retailers for the same service. They will not match the att price for the sprint price. I've heard some have just to be nice but most won't and I wouldn't expect them to either.

Most stores will honor this policy. I went back 2 times since price kept going down. Got back money in cash both times not to mention the initial purchase was a price match.

My local BB would not price match this so ordered it off bbmsolutions. Funny thing is it will be sent to the store that would not price match and they will be doing the activation. Strange how they do things.

Follow up: Posted on BB facebook page how this was odd, they pointed me to the a page that specifically says they do not price match bbsolutions. Doesn't make the situation any less strange. Brick and mortar store loses sale and makes it a bigger hassle for customer
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] DimeDrl:
Just bought my Note II last week at Best Buy and they pric matched me for the Amazon price from a week prior. Got my phone for $99.99, which was lower than Amazon's current price of $139.99 at the time. I didn't even have to bring in the amazon price. The person at the store pulled it up for me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] midmofan:
That $99 price was for a brand new sprint customer, not for upgrades or adding new phone to a line. But if the BB person was just checking the Amazon page it was the first price to come up whenever I looked so would be easy for them to misread it. Good job getting that price. BB folks actually have broad discretion in price matching so its usually what they WILL do not what they CAN do.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] yankees45us:
What I would do is make them do the sale. Come back for a price matching within first 15 days, if they don't match it then say you want to return it. Most times they'll either price match on the spot or get a manager to override it. They don't want to lose a sale and they don't want the hassle of a return.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] coolwater22:
its funny cause i told the manager on duty the same exact thing. i told him how is it possible that you guys price match other stores but not BB mobile solutions and he told me that its not owned by BB, but on the website it clearly says "owned by BB." then i called BB customer service and they told me that the only way they can price match was if there was a "physical store" not a website that actually has the phone in stock in their store,same color, and same company then they can price match.

its odd because a week earlier i went to the same BB and i brought a amazon wireless paper saying it was 199.99 and they priced match that but now they cant do it?? wtf is that lol but o well.

before i purchased my phone,two weeks ago, i got credit towards account for being a "long time loyal member" and also for bad data and dropped calls..i guess i cant complain :)..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] DimeDrl:
Actually, Amazon was offering that rice for new and upgrade customers. Only reason i didn't get it at the $99 price on amazon was because my bank put a hold on the deposit of my last paycheck. It delayed my purchase until the amazon price spiked to $139.99.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] NiTsEm:
Best price for Note 2 is 32,000
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] crzycrkr:
Just read today that best buy is permanently changing their policy to always match online prices
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] yankees45us:
That's great news. My local best buy has been matching online retailers since last year and even said that if best buy didn't continue price matching online retailers they would continue doing it.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] RayTrue04:
I've been following the Note 2 on Amazon since I got mine and it has never been 99 for upgraded customers. Just new customers. Trust me I'm trying to get another one at that price. The lowest upgrade pricing has been 199.99 while the lowest for new family line is 169.99. People have been getting lucky and getting upgrades for the new line price since some best buy employees aren't too smart.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] yankees45us:
Very true. It has only gone down to $99 for new lines. Luckily my local bb price matched that price for me for my renewal.

Well now if I am not the happy camper! Purchased my new titanium grey note 2 from BB mobile solutions for $140 after the BB brick and mortar stores would not price match that amount.

Picked it up at a BB mobile store and when they activated it, low and behold, their computer spit out a $50 gift card! Although I had signed up for the gift card promotion, I had been told it would not work with a purchase from the ebay/bbmobilesolutions web store. Nice surprise!

Best Buy Priced Match

As long as you have your receipt and can tell them who has it cheaper they will also look it up for you, verify it and give you the difference
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] midmofan:
Its important to note the distinction between what a BB store manager might do for you and what the official policy is.

The official matching policy that starts tomorrow says BB does NOT match prices on on contract phones.

Now historically BB managers have had broad discretion on matching in their store, but I know there where week long meetings this week in our area where one of the topics was to have all stores behave the same since it has been causing a lot of customer dissatisfaction when store #1 does not match, but store #2 -10 minutes away - does match.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] coolwater22:
not necissarly. i bought my phone and 3 weeks later i took in my receipt saying that i saw a cheaper price online(bbmobile) and if they could price match it. The manager on duty looked it up and saw the price. then he spoke to his boss and told me that he couldnt price match it for 149.99. i told them that they had priced matched the same website before but to now avail. i guess it depends on the manager on duty......o well

I got my titanium note 2 at best buy for 69.00 bucks. Thats a great deal. My wife also got one to for 69.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] 00mred00:
as of 3.2 best buy no longer price matches contract phones...confirmed at least by 3 local stores in my area.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] crzycrkr:
Have them call on that. As stated a few pages ago, Best Buy has changed their policy to price match all online prices. There were no exceptions
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] midmofan:
Unforunatly, there are exceptions including on-contract cell phones which are NOT matched and only the online sites set out in the policy are matched, not "all" online prices.

Here is the actual policy from BB's site:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] HTCRyan:
Exactly right. I was able to get the$199 Amazon price matched, but not without a fight. l called in the A.M. and was told yes, got there in the pm and was told no. Got manager involved and was able to get match but was told Best Buy does not match mobile devices... Complete B.S.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Gr8gorilla:
Me and my wife were able to get Best Buy to price match Amazon during the 69.99 Galaxy Note 2 promotion. The funny thing about it is through a a major screw up on Sprint's part, we ended up getting Sprint to match that price themselves. The story is too long but a summary is that I ordered the phones through Sprint and tried to cancel them and instead the Rep completed the order. Because of the automated process the order couldn't be cancelled. I emailed every Sprint exec. whose number I could find and the next day got a call back from a Sprint Executive offering to give me the two phones for $69.99 each.

Am I the only one who thinks the flash is to overpowering when taking pictures ?

Almost all pictures I take with flash come out with the flash killing the picture.

When I take a picture with the SGSIII from the same distance with flash on they come out fine.

* If there is a way to tune the flash down a bit that would be awesome.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Solutions Etcetera:
Yes the flash is seriously munged. It does not behave anything like a flash should as it still uses very low shutter speeds. Just more poorly implemented camera software that will hopefully be addressed. In the meantime, Camera FV-5 does a much better job with flash exposure.

Hi,

after rooting my HOX (let it unrooted roundabout 6 months) the touchscreen makes me mad sometimes. Sometimes when I want to slide a side down, it zooms, sometimes I'm unable to tip on a Button -it takes the one above or thereunder, it doesn't recognice to slide, long-tip is a short-tip and links will be followed or opened instead of the context-menue. Sometime nothing happens (including the 3 buttons on the bottom of the screen). Mostly it ends if I lock the phone (with the Hardware-button upper right -On/off) und unlock it, slide the ring to unlock it comletely, and the it works fine. Sometims also the keyboard have some unfunny effects -cant reach the upper umlauts, other letters will be recognized then the touched.

I've tried to calibrate the touchscreen several times, set default, recalibrate, .... doesn't work.

Did anyone have a idea what to do?

EDIT: Thread can be deleted/Closed as this system is not existing anymore -I've updated und unrooted it, and the touchscree-promlem is also gone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] linkinyeah:
I am not rooted and I have a Galaxy Note 2 from ATT model I317. I was able to pair my Vizio tv remote to my phone using bluetooth, it is a VUR10. It works great for a while, but if I am not constantly using it the phone seems to forget that it is there or only part of the buttons work. I thought that I read in some other forums that the Galaxy products do have a bad habit of loosing the bluetooth connection with some devices. Is there a better way to utilize this remote as a keyboard without being rooted? Any apps that would help make it more functional or fix the bluetooth problem. I really want to use this remote while I have my phone hooked up through the smart dock. At this point I don't have a usb powered hub to hook up to the smart dock to use a wireless keyboard/mouse combo.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Bracewar:
Just updated to jelly bean.

I have over 1100 pictures and videos in my SD card's DCIM folder. When I go to my gallery, there are two 'Camera' folders, one that pertains to my internal memory and has all pictures I took after the update and the other is my SD slots pictures.

The gallery only shows a max of 600 photos for my SD pictures and I cannot find a way to see any photos taken after my 600th photo was taken. This wasn't an issue before the update. They changed the gallery format (I'm assuming to AOSP) so I tried to download Gallery ICS which also didn't work. I downloaded QuickPic which works well, but I'd like to stick to stock.

any ideas?

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dasddh:
Hello all,

I'd like to know if the multitouch issue I'm hitting is more likely to be a hardware or software issue.

Singletouch working normally and accurate.

Multitouch recognises fingers approx 1cm over actual position.

Trying to describe...

if I'm only using 1 finger its ok and the pointer is where my finger is but if I'm adding a second finger the pointer moves ~1cm up.

So both fingers are way below the position the streak thinks they are.

Using DSC v2.2 and dont hit this issue on a 2nd streak.

Tried to use the touchscreen calibration but didnt change anything.

Is it possible that this issue is related to the hardware?

Thanks,
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryan.nguyen:
You can test with "multitouch tester" from playstore
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dasddh:
Ok, way easier to visualise...

Seems like I've a moveable dead zone within my streak.

To explain see attached pic.

If finger one is where it is located on the pic and finger 2 is either above green line 1 or below green line 2 everything seems to work ok.

But if the finger 2 is set between both green lines both circles are set completely to the mid.

Also depending on the position of finger 1 the deadzone/green lines move.

Can this be somewhere within android and is somehow repairable or more likely hardware?

I dont hit that on a 2nd streak with dsc2.2 (so both on dsc 2.2)

Hi.

I really like this tablet nd the keyboard. but it's very annoying when I want to accent over the letter and put it before the letters.

For example: Econ´omico.

I'm Portuguese.

How can I fix it?
[Asus Transformer TF700] MartyHulskemper:
I don't know for sure about the Portuguese language, but on the German system language setting (and reportedly the Dutch, too), the tablet seems to process accented letters correctly. I've been pretty much exclusively using English, but somebody in here will chime in that's been on some other language mainly, and help you out more definitively.

LEA, where are you when we need you? ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] acme99:
Yes, I have the exact same problem, but in french. It does that only in some applications, not all. Chrome and the default browser are affected. This is annoying as hell, and I can't find a fix. I had this problem with the stock ROM, and with CROMI 3.1.0. I'm happy to see that I'm not the only one!

Anyone got a clue on how to fix this?
