I know that some banks and sharp hospital gets high discounts. I used one of sharp. I believe the highest you can go now is 18% I think. They may have dropped the discount a little. I have a cousin who works at sprint and thats what he told me. I could be wrong and hope you get the highest discount possible.

Nope the credit union is only 10% now and they are verifying everything. I had to send in a copy of my employee badge to get my discount.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nfixit:
Thanks for your reply, what did you do for your sharp discount? or do you actully work there?

Thanks,
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Lancerz:
I was getting 25% with the credit union until I upgraded to the S3 lol. I was actually a member though, then they changed it to the employees get 25% and members get 10% so I just went with my job to get my discount now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] epic4GEE:
I think I have 20% still, but sprint tried to bump it down to 18% when I got my s3, they were trying to be sly and I called them on it. Still have my 20% discount as a state employee.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] DirtyShroomz:
There is no human that applies those discounts any longer. Its all systematic and must be verified online. Credit union, AAA and AOL are the most common ones.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] MCL1981:
I never got any notices, they just turned off my discount. I had to call them to find out why. They didn't have verification of my employer so I had to do their verification process. Fortunately, they have my employers email domain on their list so I only needed to enter my work email and it was approved immediately.

The csr told me they recently did an audit of all their discounts. Anyone who hadn't verified in the last 22 months, or had no verification at all, was supposed to be notified and the discount was removed if you didn't fix it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gronimo21:
do you work for citibank

never mind saw the reply
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] daniel4653:
Thanks for the info. On my families plan we need to verify our discount. My dad no longer works at the same company so I'll use my .edu email to get a discount. I thought student discount was only like 10% ?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Team DevDigitel:
Discounts range from 10-28 % for a consumers account

The.discount system now automatically removes discounts

After 24 months or upgrade whatever is first. Easy verify program

Just go in to a store and ask for the form and some help filling out.

Discounts only apply to plans over 39.99 and only discount

A.plans base price (family plan $149.99 gets a discount off

Line 1 (110$) or individual plans 69.99.. Insurance and data

Fees don't get discounted and taxes don't get discounts.

Need a photo I'd from employer or a pay stub

Must be account holder that's getting discount

Credit union me members get 10% and waived activation

And upgrade fees..and promotional they currently get 100$

To port in a number..

People who have biz accounts get their employees 10% it higher

Sprint reps get around 50% but loose the ability to upgrade

While on this employee plan type..

Hope this helps..pm me and I can get you a link for paperwork

And.or find you your personal discount code.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] BigMosley:
Did having to verify employment every 24 months or upgrade occur recently? I have been getting 20% discount for 5+ years because my wife works at Walmart and have never been asked to reverify. ??
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] MCL1981:
Yes, this is new. The old system was like you said... it never went away. You could get fired, and there was no verification of continued eligibility. You could also enroll with little to no verification at the stores. Apparently they realized how much money they were losing on ineligible discounts and did an overhaul. They overhauled and automated the discount program. So now it requires you to verify every 2 years or when you upgrade. Anyone who was not previously verified in the last 2 years or since upgrade was given notice (or were supposed to be given notice) to verify. Those who didn't verify, or didn't get notice, had their discounts turned off. You can turn it right back on by verifying at http://www.sprint.com/verify
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Team DevDigitel:
This is a new policy change.. A lot of old referral discounts out

There sprint wants to eliminate I'll assuming to save money..

They notify by text.. Email... Or letter about verification...

Pretty much consumer employee and any other discount holder

Must systematically verify on a time frame to avoid a person

Not eligible to retain a discount over 2 years

I'm just saying

Thanks for all the help guys, i upgraded (the first upgrade i used in like 5 years) my second line and thats what triggered these reverifyng text off been getting this discount for years now.

Just FYI, I have Farmer's Insurance credit union, and I get 18% through them. I had 23 through my old job, but quit there a year ago. We upgraded this year, and I lost my discount for a couple of months and just this week got it back through my CU. I was hoping it would be the 23% again, but 18 isn't bad.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Changbang:
Hi, i'm really new here, but here is my issue:

So I love my Galaxy Note II. It's fantastic. The only issue is now.. i can't use it.

My phone model is sch-i605 (verizon)

The Story: (in as much detail as i can remember)

1. Ran out of internal Memory

2. Bought a 64 GB sandisk Microsd.

3. Found out i had to root my phone in order to switch the internal & external sd's. O.K.

4. Rooted via Odin3 v1.85 (old i know) but O.K.

5. Messed around a little with Titanium Backup (which i didnt know how to work) as well as a File Manager (which i also didnt know how to work)

6. Downloaded triangle away

7. Dragged and dropped all of the files in "Phone" from my pc into the microsd.

8. tried to boot from microsd using app2sd, didnt work. tried multiple times. No go.

9. decided it would be better to factory restore it all, even if it meant losing data. So that i could do this like the vids. (i didnt really care so long as i get my 64 gb of memory)

10. Do a little reading, and then decide to use triangle away to get rid of any tick marks...

11. Right after pressing the "OK" to reset the ticks, My phone locks me out saying: "System software not authorized by Verizon Wireless has been found on your phone"

12. Tried to find the right "stock" file to try to flash via odin to totally restore my phone (doesnt matter if it gets rid of the triangle tick or not, i just wanna be able to use my phone)

13. Been at this all day and it's not only annoying but beginning to freak me out.

14. Can anyone help me?

15. My worries: I cannot get it back to working order & I was hoping to be able to restore it to Warranty covering condition, guess not?

I have tried A LOT of different things, but this is just insane and really wants me to die.

HEEEEELLLPP
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] hexdrus:
Take out your sd card and put the phone into download mode (volume down + home + power) I assume you already did this.

Download the stock Rom and Odin (I use 3.07). Stick the Rom in the pda area and flash. This should take about 10 minutes.

If you have already done this make sure that the stock Rom file is good (there were a couple of bad ones that didn't flash to stock). Otherwise there may be something up with u r internal memory.

If you have twrp already you can load any custom rom onto your external sdcard and install from your external card.

Hope that helps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Changbang:
Well, i've done all of this, but i think i've yet to find a proper stock rom for my phone. I've used samsung-updates.com but that one didnt work at all. If this is the case, i was wondering if someone can point me to a proper stock rom for my phone. (Verizon Galazy Note II)

Also, i do not have twrp.

*Update*

So i tried another Rom this morning. It didnt work. But now my phone is beginning to say that

"Firm upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies and try again."

Doing some research on that now. But idk... if i get a fix i'll let you know.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Changbang:
Also i realized i didnt unlock the bootloader... so that might've been my issue?

Hrmm, sorry but i've already tried all the mirrors of the stock rom that 'imnuts' kindly put out. i'll give it another shot with Odin v3.07.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jcollier:
That is definitely your issue. You have to unlock to flash a custom recovery and then to flash custom roms.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Wyvern49:
The main thing Samsung needs to do is drastically improve their build quality. The cheap plastic is just ridiculous on a high-end phone. I have had the volume button fall out 3 times so far. The last time it got lost and I found out the Samsung warranty doesn't cover things like that. I guess they know their phone is going to fall apart and don't want to deal with it. The cost to "repair" the phone to put in a new button is roughly $100 and if you send it to Samsung they say it will take two weeks. I bought a new button on eBay for $3 (plus $6 shipping from Hong Kong), got it in under a week and stuck it in the phone in less than 5 seconds.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] podspi:
I really really like AMOLED displays, so no complaints there.

I really would have preferred to lose the physical home button though. Sadly that is a Galaxy design trademark now. It'll probably be there forever...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] savagebunny:
This really. I'm pretty content with my phone and I like the AMOLED screen.

And the other complaint as many others is the Plastic. Even if they could of used a better *plastic*. With more firm feel and textile look and feel also. Or they could of gone hella swag and used 7075-T6

But then again, If they go with that, It must be much thinner than the current plastic model, added weight and people will be pissed
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Androideka5:
I'd say hands down build quality. My battery cover is loose in the corner and my power button is incredibly loose. I'm scared it's just gonna fall out during a soft brick and I won't be able to flash a back up lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] asymptoticFault:
I was disappointed as well when I saw the US version wasn't getting the quad core exynos because I was hoping to get one in my next phone. However, after reviewing the benchmarks comparing the exynos and the snapdragon it shipped with I was less disappointed. The snapdragon was really only bested by the exynos in the GPU department but matched it well for CPU, plus the US variant shipped with twice the RAM which is really nice. I don't really use my phone for gaming so I was able to accept a lesser GPU.

I had concerns about the AMOLED screen and burn in and am bummed that blue ages the fastest and uses the most power because it is my favorite color and love using it for themes. However, I switched to a red theme and am really liking it and have been very pleased with the display.

I agree that the plastic construction does make it feel a little cheap and flimsy and the phone is so thin it felt like it would just snap in half. I got an otterbox case for it which put me much more at ease with handing it and carrying it around everyday and I have to say the added thickness from the case actually makes the phone easier to handle in my opinion.

I would also agree that I would prefer a capacitive home button to the physical one it has. It might just be my phone but pressing the home button has always felt a little sticky or rough. It's hard to explain but it's just never felt very fluid.

looking at S4 videos, the only thing i really see as a big improvement is the quad core 1.9ghz processor.. I bet it games a little better.. other then that, 1080p vs 720p doesn't bother me much, 720 still looks great.

Strangely, I don't think/feel the plastic is "cheap" at all. Whether it's plastic, metal, or something else, it's going to get covered with a case anyways (for many people).

Better radio. No problems with build quality at all...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Surge1223:
Better range in the radio so I don't fall to 3g in my room, when I get 4g just 7 stairs up in the living room. I also wish the aux/headphone sound quality was better. The camera lens being prone to smudges because the lens is extended a smidgen further than the battery case is annoying too. But by far the most annoying thing is the placement of the power key and volume buttons. I wish they were reversed, or atleast the power key was up top so then the flip case and camera controls would be useful.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mikeew83:
Better rolling out of updates granted i know much of it is carrier dependent but being a so called flagship device it's a bit lame that were so far behind
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xHoLyx:
Oh, you should've seen dinc2 :)

Imo, Samsung is doing a much better job with the updates compared to HTC.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] david_hume:
We're not that far behind. We're still more up to date than T-Mobile and AT&T, both of which are still stuck at Android 4.1.1.

Only on kernel source. That phone was such a pain in the ass on that. That and 3G speeds. But pretty much, everything else with the Inc2 still worked really well. The Inc2 actually has better radio quality than what the GS3 has right now.

I'm sure we have a couple of former DInc2 users here that can attest to that.

Qi wireless charging. At least you can add this functionality but it would be better built in.

The plastic feels so cheap compared to the much more solid HTC phones (whether that relates at all to actual build quality and reliability is debatable).

I HATE the center home button. It's the chief thing that keeps me from the Galaxy S line. The AMOLED screen is also fairy disappointing compared to the latest LCDs.

The camera should be flush with the back or even slightly recessed, not protruding outward. HTC got the memo, Samsung needs to follow suit.

The location of the power / volume buttons is terrible.

The radios aren't the best either, but it's not too bad.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TheDiabolicaL1:
Better speakers/front-side-bottom-etc facing/stereo/louder

Better radios. 3g drop stings when you pay this much for a phone and Sammy/vzw tells you to **** yourself

Ditch the plastic.

Of course, the likely hood of me buying another Samsung is extremely low anyways if the Motorola rumours are true.

A better radio chipset. Reception is weaker than other devices I have used and the 3G is a terrible battery sucking mess with low signal. 4g though with good signal works great.

Kind of polar opposite to the Razr, since that has great 3g but awful battery sucking 4g.
