[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gavinfabl:
If you are not in a rush, wait a month. Even in the UK the sim free prices are heavily inflated. In a month or two they will drop along with bug fixes.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phositadc:
How exactly does it work? Do you place the pre-order at the $749.99 price, and then when you go to pick it up, you bring a printout of the AT&T page showing the AT&T price, and they refund you the difference then?

Or is there some other process? I must admit I do appreciate the 30-day return policy and the no restocking fee of Best Buy versus 14 days + restocking fee at AT&T.

Edit: I just notice that pickup is not an option... shipping only, apparently.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crisisx1:
Do not do any buy back bs they will always low ball you... Just sell it on craigslist and make more money.

I was on best buy website and the price is ridiculous.

Bestbuy no longer price matches contract phones...FYI.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mang0:
My local Best Buys WILL price match contract phones at local store rates (not online), but they will not price match pre-orders. So you will have to pre-order and exchange your $50 cash for a gift card, and then bring the ad and have the store call the local store to verify the price/promotion once you pick up your phone.

But of course, some stores will do contract phones and some won't. Just depends on the store/sales rep/manager. Full-price unsubsidized phones should be no problem, though, once the phone is actually released.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c-low18:
I would double check that.... if your local store does that your EXTREMELY lucky...... policy changed around march 4th.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mang0:
I've heard other stores have as well. And I was just there for the One pre-order not too long ago. ;) I wouldn't be surprised if there was a policy change, as employees there don't seem to be well versed in much, but regardless of that my answer still stands.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c-low18:
You sir are lucky.... :). My customers would kill to be able to still price match contract devices..... ;). Either way I'm excited for this launch...
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KryptosXLayer2:
Ummmmmmmmm......

http://www.forbes.com/sites/abrambr...mart-but-very-late-salvo-against-showrooming/

Guys, they price match, that's for sure.... I asked when going in-store to pre-order - I'm not paying full price online and wait for shipping when I can pay $50 to reserve one and get it on launch day just like I did last year - they will now price match Amazon

I had to price match the SIII for $150 on launch last year with Target, since they weren't doing online price matching, but now they are, so just escalate it until you get it matched! I only paid $100 for my SIII on launch (see below)! Just go into the store and pay the $50 to reserve it, then deal with the price matching on launch day, it's all very simple and I've done this at least 4 times in the last 2 years with various Best Buy stores for the phone accounts I manage

I know I'm walking away with this S4 on launch day for $50 off from the Phone Freedom thing they did this year like last year, and hopefully another $50 more off from price matching!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pmacevad:
Back when the evo3d dropped with the phone buy back and a price match I pulled up on my phone in the store, I ended up walking out of the best buy in town with one for under 20 bucks out of pocket. Was only a year ago. Hope this isn't true about them no longer doing any price matching. I'll actually have to order one online from somewhere lol.

Sent from my ever-changing OG Evo...
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KryptosXLayer2:
I'm trying to follow this.... so a year ago, you went to a BBY and bought a year old phone for $20 after a buy back and a price match? Shouldn't they have given you money at that point???

I forgot to mention, if you are on this forum and using the buy back system, let me introduce you to Craigslist for quick cash or eBay for the best profits.... I sold an iPhone 4 on eBay that my cousin bought and used for a week before making the switch to Android, and pulled $625 from some schmuck in Bahrain who obviously had to have it, so if you walk into a BBY and let go of a current phone (read: NOT a now two year old Evo3D) and unload your phone for less than $200, most going for around a hundred bucks, let me know and I'll sell it for you for a 25% commission! haha
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c-low18:
O they still price match... Contract phones are the only exception now..... But if your best buy still does contract phones thats awesome!! Take advantage of it....I would!! Lol. On a side note I was glad they did phone freedom again..... It's an awesome deal. Fifty bones for free.....
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] optimummind:
I talked to Best Buy Mobile today in my area and they said that they only price-match phones with a contract but not off-contract phone prices. So I just bought the phone directly from Sprint. :) $150 cheaper than Best Buy.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j510:
Nice so on contract price match IS ok? Just making sure it wasn't a typo as I heard policy changed in march.

---------- Post added at 12:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:05 AM ----------

Make sure to price match then use the phone freedom in that order.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] optimummind:
Yes, that's what I've been told--price-matching only for contract phones. Last year, Best Buy price matched Amazon Wireless and I paid one penny for my Sprint S2. :D As did my wife and mom.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] L27:
I'm sorry if I've missed something here.. I've done a lot of searching around for an answer to this, and I was hoping someone on this lovely forum

could advise me so I can resolve my issue. I'll keep it breif to not waste much of your time.

I'm using the latest Paranoid Android grouper (April 13th), Tablet UI (mid), global colors have been changed.

I can't seem to figure out how to change the color of the notification bar. I found out and changed the app drawer colors which could only be done manually, is there another config that needs to be edited? If anyone can shed some light on this for me I would be greatful.

Thanks

I believe it is settings. There should be a global setting that should show otherwise asking in the Paranoidr Android forum or in Google+ communities is more likely to give you a more satisfactory answer.

You know the water sound you get when you push the turn off button. Well you can change that with any sound you want like thr mario dying sound.

Use root browser

Go into system

Find lock.ogg

Copy ur sound into the Ui and change the name into lock.ogg and overwrite it.

After reboot and your mario sound or watever you wanted your soubd to be should work.
