[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bond32:
If one were to open a new account not add a line and get the note 2 from best buy, but then cancel the account and paying the etf, is it just the $350 etf or do they charge the phone cost too?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] KnightCrusader:
No, BB doesn't have a secondary ETF... they one of the few large authorized retailer that doesn't, and the reason I went with them over anywhere else.

I thought about doing this myself, but you also have to take into account the time your phone has service that you'll get a bill... but this is definitely cheaper than paying full price if you willing to deal with the hassle.

In fact, now that I think about it, my phone is in my dad's name so I guess I could always open an account and then cancel it, and pay the ETF. That is $450 + fees + tax instead of $700 + tax. Might be worth a $200 savings to deal with it...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bongbillawong:
Is best buy price match good for 30 days or 60?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dakota0206:
It is 30 days. Unless you are a silver card member, then it is 60 days.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bond32:
My thoughts exactly. Friend of mine is looking to get one. Heck I thought about doing this then reselling it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrlaigle:
You would use your daughters upgrade to upgrade your 3rd "dummy"] line. The then reactivate dummy phone and activate new phone on your line. Done easy
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tkryan:
I was told price match will be ending march 3rd
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] hawkerpilot05:
I just went to my local Best Buy and told them the same thing about Sams club and showed them the picture from the 1st post and they matched it. It brought the phone from the Amazon Wireless price of $189.99 i paid last week to the $98.88. Then with the gift card applied from previous purchase it was $48.88. Thank you very much for posting this.:thumbup:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nrfitchett4:
Except then you are paying 10 bucks a month plus taxes and fees for a dummy line. Kids can survive on 2gb of data. Maybe they'll offer a double data promotion with the s4...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bond32:
This. When you open another line it actually works out to be almost $17 extra with taxes and fees.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] susp3nd:
I can confirm. I showed the picture and they were willing to do it.

Hope this helps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] chrisjz:
Yeah I got $50 back from best buy. Only for my silver one. The sams club rep wouldn't tell the best buy lady if the white one was on sale so she wouldn't give me money for the wife's phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gnex0422:
Anyone know if verizon is still calling the note 2 an "iconic" device?....just curious.

Sent from my Beast SCH-I605
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dewgong:
So apparently none of the 6 Sam's Clubs near me carry Verizon phones. When I tried to go into Best Buy and ask for price match they wanted proof and I couldn't proof it. They wouldn't take the Dell site either. Should I just plain order from Dell's site?

Edit: Just read the Dell instant savings agreement and it turns out I can't transfer the line to another line within the same account. I guess I'm screwed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gatorbri:
My local Best Buy wouldn't do it either since the local Sam's Clubs don't sell Verizon. Anybody know if there are any other upcoming deals on the Note 2? I really want one and am trying to decide whether to pony up more money or just keep waiting until there is finally a deal that I can actually use to get it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrlaigle:
Didn't he say he already has 3 lines... His. Daughters. And a dummy line... If son then this is it costing extra.. I'm not telling him to add a line. Just use the new he already had
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] donelam304:
No. I had 3 lines that were unlimited data and 1 that was on the 2gig data. I ended up just using my daughters upgrade to get one and transfered to my line. I kept the unlimited data on mine and shewent to a 2gig data line. The other ways that some had talked about they would not do. Like getting a basic phone without data and doing an upgrade on it. Like someone said on another topic. They fired someone for doing that. He worked at a verizon store.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] viper31573:
Bought mine yesterday. Wasnt letting that price go by.

sent from viper's note 2 using tapatalk
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gatorbri:
Does anybody know of any other places that currently have the Note 2 on sale for a similar price? Or does anybody happen to know of any upcoming sales in the next week or two that will be available for a Verizon version of the Note 2?

I'm dying to get my hands on one, but the local BB wouldn't price match given the local Sam's Clubs don't sell Verizon around here.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] 102mm:
Dell.com (the computer site) has the note II for $149 upgrade/add $129 new coustomer with a $50 dell rebate card.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jargavet:
staples was doing 149.99.

with the s4 coming do you think well see any drops?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bond32:
Hardly to say in my opinion. The note 2 is in a class seperate to the s4, like Verizon and others justifying the 299.00 subsidized price.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bundee1:
I exchanged my s3 for a note 2 at Best Buy on Sat and paid the extra $50. I went in today and politely explained that I wanted the price match and I didnt want to repurchase it to get it. They said ok. I showed them thr Amazon page on my phone and I got a 100 back. Big ups to everyone for the heads up. I really needed that cash.

I'm attempting to compile AOKP and I keep getting this error

Checking build tools versions...
build/core/base_rules.mk:171: *** hardware/ti/omap4xxx/domx/domx: MODULE.TARGET.SHARED_LIBRARIES.libdomx already defined by device/amazon/otter-common/domx/domx. Stop.

Side note when compiling from "lunch" I cannot get "aokp_otter2-userdebug" to work. Only when I use "full_otter2-userdebug"

Does it make a difference?

This is only the second time I have attempted a build. First one being CM10.1 after following Hashcodes guide in the CM10.1 thread.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] obsolete1:
okay solved both of those problems only to run into some more.

Problem 1:

Not being able to compile aokp_otter2-debug

Fix:

Added

PRODUCT_MAKEFILES := $(LOCAL_DIR)/aokp.mk

to the AndroidProducts.mk file

Problem 2:

Checking build tools versions...
build/core/base_rules.mk:171: *** hardware/ti/omap4xxx/domx/domx:
MODULE.TARGET.SHARED_LIBRARIES.libdomx already defined by device/amazon/otter-common/domx/domx. Stop.

Fix:

Changed /hardware/ti/omap4xxx/domx Android.mk to

ifeq ($(TI_CUSTOM_DOMX_PATH),)
include $(all-subdir-makefiles)
endif

now onto the new errors...but at least it started compiling :D
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] obsolete1:
Okay on to the next error while compiling...

Export includes file: frameworks/native/opengl/libs/Android.mk -- out/target/product/otter2/obj/SHARED_LIBRARIES/libGLESv2_intermediates/export_includes

It stops right there

I think I know where this originates but I don't know where to look to fix it

external/wpa_supplicant_8/wpa_supplicant/Android.mk

and i have looked over it the best that I could and compared it to the same file in CM10.1 and everything looks the same. But I can't seem to find an error...ohh well still looking

Status of KF2 devs as of now....

Hashcode - Working on all 3 devices, very knowledgeable and experienced. Will most likely help on IRC if on, but hard to find an usually busy doing the work for all us happy consumers :)

Powerpoint45 - Usually busy, not often around to talk, but will post in the forums now and then and sometimes in IRC. He knows a bit about building ROMs, and probably would be of help to you, unfortunately, I'd say he's harder to contact than Hashcode.

FMKilo - IS NOT A DEV. That's what he says. He knows a bit around scripting and such, but like me, his kindle knowledge is mostly common sense and paying attention. Granted, he's usually on IRC, probably the easiest to get in contact with, and if you're not being super dumb, always willing to help. Even though he's not REALLY a dev, he could answer most questions that seem complex to most people, but are really simple things he already knows about.

idontwanttobeanoob - Don't know much about him really, but he's the only one besides PPT (powerpoint45) to start making a ROM, until you. You two might be able to help each other, and for anyone else reading this, feel free to help him with MIUI or possibly learn together.

ANNNNNNNNNND,

that's it.

If you're a dev, feel free to rage at me, but you've been much to quiet and I think I comb these boards well enough. So, you're not being ignored, but there just aren't many around this community yet. I think we should encourage more people getting their own things working and sharing with the rest though. Maybe some new people can learn a bit more and become known devs. Plus in this small community it'd be easier to get known for releasing a cool ROM (bonus points for naming it MooRom)
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] obsolete1:
I'm not worried about being ignored...this is helping me through the process. I can see what I had to do/redo in case of system failure (unlikely but still I can read back). I just need to see if I can do this, its just something I've wanted to do and finally just dove in. Like I said the first time I attempted a build was just last week...and it was pretty much cut and paste code. So I tried something a little harder it may or may not pan out in the end. But thanks for posting on here letting me know that someone else is reading this other than me :good:

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jacobgong:
It really isn't necessary to have a full theme support in these AOSP/AOKP/CM ROMs because most of the skins made for them suck major ass anyway.

All you need is one single option that will change the holo blue color across the system into another color. This includes all the status icons, the separator line as well as the dark background tint.

but instead, we have these skins that change some of these colors but not others, or they also apply a stupid tint to icons and stuff. So necessary!

See the attached image? That is ALL I need, I just opened it in Photoshop and adjusted its HUE. But instead, there are all these custom options to change the color of this, change the color of that... You can't just change the color of one element and not the others because then they won't match!

hi

I have flashed the official GB 2.3.4 and it's not operating normally. I am facing these issues:

-games are laggy for example I can't play temple run 2 and some games freezes for about ten seconds.

-apps are closing. Suddenly when I open an application (even a system app like dialer) the app closes and the home screen appears without the (force close message).

please help me it's driving me crazy I went back to GB from JB to get rid of these issues.

Thanks Man, it looks really nice. Gonna test tomorrow ... ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] TheF3nix:
Rom is working good. Everything work fine. ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] TSOGLANI:
Sounds cool ..tommorow i also start testing and come back for review..thanx for your hard work :good:

EDIT: ONE WEEK WITH JELLY CREAM ROM- Review 17-24/2

This Rom is a nice surpise...it is clean and fast and have some unique features like boost myXperia which needs further development and choosing between lockscreens.

I tested with Suave V6 and the Rom and Kernel made a nice match and if configured properly it will give you very nice battery life.

A good start when installing the rom is to choose for home anything but the recomended one (GX launcher)...I prefered the latest JB home which it has a good support thread to play with it plus a very pretty mod which works perfect.

After installing first time the Rom is amazingly fast and if you behave yourselves with apps you will me more than ok but do not start *****ing when lags appears its not the rom its ICS. Also never managed to get Link2SD to work in this rom.

If you encounter problem with Walkman app (like i did) do not start flashing and reflashing (like i did)...It will not work...

Best thing to do take semcmusic.apk from smartXperia rom and you use it and you ll be up and running.

Also small apps not working properly you can find a fix in NEO themes and apps section ;)

At last the /system folder has things that you can change and gain space and even delete some after install.

When on Suave Kernel CWM does not change with the one provided by rom (that is not bad just informing) so maybe deleting from there some files gain you even more space.I managed to free up 25mb more..

Ofcourse the Xloud bug is here also like everywhere :p

Generally a nice rom to play with, you will not be disappointed.

Very good battery life,friendly at tweaks and mods if set up nice and i suggest it if someone want to test it.

Nice work and support also of gagan.u20 !!!
