[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] snappjay:
Yeah, I just called 611 AND my local stores and I got a ton of different policies...

-611 says: You can order (not preorder) the phone TOMORROW (6/23) and they will honor the 30 day early upgrade and have it shipped out.

-Corporate AT&T store 1 says: No early upgrades at all. Ever.

-Corporate AT&T store 2 says: Early upgrades are fine as long as it's within the same month of your upgrade, so May 1st would be the earliest I could pick it up. Oh, and he gave me the line "It's not like this is an iPhone, it's just an Android." :(

So what the hell? Why are there three different policies when it comes to early upgrades?? I would expect it to be different between corporate vs resellers, but they should all keep to the same policy.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] mattdm:
Ha! Classic.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] MoReNitO303:
Wow! I guess your best bet is to call 611 tomorrow and order the phone. See when is the expected ship date, and please keep us posted!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] radeon962:
Generally they will do an upgrade during the month that your upgrade is available. Best bet is to stop at an AT&T store but don't expect them to price match a lower price if they give you an early, early upgrade.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] animeware:
I got an early upgrade my self I wasn't post to upgraded until November 2013 I went int too the ATT Store they added additional year on my contract I was able to get pre order of the Samsung Galaxy S4 the rep was really nice to me in store.

I end up paying $450 Samsung Galaxy S4 1 year contract which was fine for me I was cool with it I only had my Samsung Galaxy Note 1 for only 1 year.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] snappjay:
So I just tried calling 611 since the phone is officially released and I see it on the att website to order and they said that the early upgrade doesn't cover GS4 and that I was told incorrect information...

At this point, I'm throwing my arms in the air and saying "screw it". Why even have an "early upgrade" policy if it's inconsistent?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] soraxd:
guys, I'm not due for an upgrade till Nov 2013, i called in and spoke very nicely to a lady at ATT, and she said she could give me the upgrade for 200$ as an early upgrade. the only thing is they can't send out s4's yet, as they're currently online or retail only, so i can call back on launch day and shell send out one, i note has been made to my account.

BUT!! I'm greedy, so i still went to an att store and asked if i can do the same thing, and the guy said they don't have the ability, i said the rep on the phone said i could, he checked my account notes, and said 'oh OK then', so i was able to get him to write down on the back of his business card that i can do an early upgrade in store on release day.

just sharing what i did to get Mine, if you guys wanna do it too
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] snappjay:
Did you go to an AT&T corp store? I called every corp store within 2 hour drive time and they all say "within the same month" or "not at all". I even had a 611 lady call the corp stores to tell them about the 30 day upgrade policy and tbe corp stores said that they wouldn't honor it.. even coming from 611. :eek:

Like I said, it would be nice, but I'll just wait until next Wednesday. The last 611 gentlemen KNEW that I was going to ask about the S4 and told me, as soon as I asked about the early upgrade policy that it doesn't count toward the S4. So it looks like they are adding "notes" to my account every time I call.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Nickel Dime Bay:
My upgrade is in July, wonder if i should get the upgrade or just wait for the Note 3 hmmm.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] boshy7:
My upgrade wasn't due till July 3rd, I phoned 611 and spoke to the rep, who not only gave me my unlock for my S3, may reason for calling, I asked about an early upgrade, and she ok'd it, had to check with a supervisor I think as she put me on hold. Pre-ordered S4 $199 +tax, usual 2 year contract extension.

Been a customer since 06, and have never asked for early upgrade, bill extension, never paid bill late.

/shrug, be polite ask nicely and you maybe rewarded.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] RockRatt:
I have used an early upgrade in the past using 611. The "ONLY" thing though was that "I HAD TO PURCHASE" it from ATT over the phone while I was on the line with them. They WOULD NOT let me use the Line Upgrade from any other business so the price through them was $50 more than from Walmart in store.

So I have two lines available for upgrade as of May 2nd and May 5th. So this time I will wait for those dates to pass this time. Specially since I have seen other businesses off it for a cheaper rate again that ATTs price. Walmart has always been good for me on a few occasions during upgrading, and another time was Radio Shack had the lowest price. Either of those two above I did NOT have to re-do anything with my data plan (Grandfathered Unlimited Data plan) as they called ATT while I was in store anyways. I also have another line due for upgrade in the middle of July, so it will probably be saved for the Note 3.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jtseals:
its in stock online and not in preorder status anymore
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] lunercrab:
I tried to order over the phone...they said I can't til April 30th...store says I can do early upgrade on may 1st since it'll be the same month...man att has gotten strict lately...between July 2012 and march 2013 I upgraded my one line like 4 times without issue and always got subsidized pricing...

Anyone already has this phone? Can custom ROM and rooting methods for Zopo zp980 be used for this phone?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] svenvv:
I've ordered one, but It will be shipped on the 2nd of may. As far as I've read the zp980 rom is fully compatible with the C2. This will most probaly mean that any custom rom for the 980 will work on the C2.

The rooting method is the same for all the MTK quadcore phones out there (hence a few exeptions), so that won't be a problem.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] kalunlee:
I bought one in Hk thru Taobao.com and I flashed it to Android 4.2.1 and is pre rooted.

Very fast and smooth after changed to Android 4.2.1. Ali OS is very laggy and slow.

The screen is fantastic, the color and viewing angle are actually better than my LG optimus G pro.

Too bad the phone doesnt support 4g and battery only 2000mah. The phone feels quite plastic too.

Overall the phone is quite decent as long as u install Android on it.

I would like to share with you a root tool that worked with me for ZOPO ZP980/ C2/ZP810 MTK6589 and should work on most similar devices too.

Just today I received my C2. Compared to my old Motorola Defy, the phone is really huge. :)

It came with Android 4.2 preinstalled, I just had to root it. But there is one thing that's bothering me. Since the ROM is apparently for Zopo ZP980, it report incorrectly the size of internal storage. Furthermore I would like to disable it at all as user accessible memory and use all 4GB for apps.

You tried c3 Rom already? Then my guess is it's a driver issue.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Pola0520:
Yes I tried it and it works! Thank you very much for your help!

Going very much for your phone, there are only 1-2 there is a problem. The camera shows the picture vice versa (upside down) what can be the cause of this? On the other hand, lack of Google Play. How can I make up for this? Otherwise, first turn it on and start something like it calibrated would actually know what I'm going for aztse recovery mode...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jg77:
Great. Now you have a working phone again you can flash stock zp980/c2 Rom from zopomobileshop. Then the picture in the camera will good again, also gapps and playstore will be in there.

Now every problem is solved ... :)

In summary, if someone like him than I megszívná :

Need to add the 4.2 or even the latest version of Flash Tools (note that the newer the better! )

Lekell spend the ruins C3 , for me it revived the phone, it works on the phone itself but it is not good because there are no services on google and not the camera 100 . But from then on , however, it will be flashable on the phone.

My advice to all the ruins Tolson down the phone because my phone was in principle the normal version of the B even have it good ...

If you do not want to go to the installation ctrl + alt + t combination to push or to leave the programól back then.

And in case you installed the rom is not good then back on Thurs and then try to ruin the other.

It took me three whole time I was with your forum , I found out about the things you lie down, close my eyes I see the Flash tools- t ... :) :)

So good luck , I hope you could help others too! ;)

I am not sure if understand all correctly from here:

http://forum.zopomobileshop.com/thread-777-1-3.html

This is a nice feature.

But what happens if I remove the physical SD card?

And what if no physical SD card is installed when flashing?

And in this thread

http://forum.zopomobileshop.com/thread-1412-1-1.html

There are much more possibilities than just 2.49GB.

Do they also merge both sd-cards into one?

And have you ever read about

meteos-mtk6589-rom-edit ?

This app also gives more possibilities.

http://forum.zopomobileshop.com/forum.php?mod=forumdisplay&fid=37&filter=typeid&typeid=15

I've just 2 complaints to the phone for just ~US$250:

1) The vibrator is very weak so even though you can't hear / feel the vibration in a meeting...

2) The 1GB RAM is very insufficient. However, using startup manager to avoid the start of unused programs, that's far better now.

Good points:

1) That's thin!

2) The display is bright and sharp!

3) The battery is better than what I think, maybe I'm using JuicyDefender Plus. At least better than iPhone5.

4) Camera is good, but actually it's not concluded until I managed to take some landscape shots.

Very high cost/performance phone!

re: Super C2

I'm here in China and trying to decide on whether the "super C2" is worth it (it seems to be for sale by Taobao sellers for 2000 RMB). More concerned about the RAM than the ROM (b/c of the sdcard, but that 32GB is nice too -- as "may" be the higher clocked CPU) -- is 1GB good enough on these phones or is the extra $80 a no-brainer?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] svenvv:
1GB of ram will certainly be enough. More ram only helps with multitasking. Furthermore, I've heard that there are quite a few compatibility problems with the MTK combined with 2GB ram.

Those 2gb will really prove their value by the time android 5.0 comes out, but I doubt the C2 (or 980 for that sake) will ever get 5.0

SD card kept removed "itself". There are repeated SD card unexpectedly removed error message. To the point that I can't use the card at all. Now I am running the phone without SD card. Will try another card tonight to verify if my SD card is the culprit. Any C2 owner has similar issue?

SD Card problem - resolved

Ok, phone is perfectly fine. I swapped out the problematic 32GB Sandisk MicroSD with a 16GB one... now it is working fine.. keeping my finger crossed.;)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] javlada:
The GPS on my phone works perfectly, the best I've ever seen on a cellphone. It catches very quickly even if don't have data enabled (no A-GPS).

The RAM could be bigger. There is only about 200 MB RAM free left on my phone and it very often even shuts down launcher if I use some demanding programs (browser with a lot of tabs, some games etc.) But you can live with that, the basic operation is very smooth and quick.

Sorry I don't have any pictures, I don't use my phone as a camera. But I'm sure you can find plenty of pictures on the web if you searched for them.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Argykaras:
So why so many complaints that GPS not working?did you do something in order to work?

and those phones with A-GPS are better?and more fast in finding position?

What about the speaker?is it good enough?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] javlada:
I just downloaded the data for MTK GPS sesnsors to speed up GPS fix. You can find it under GPS settings on the phone. Thats all I did. I have no idea why so many people complain about GPS, it works perfectly for me.

This phone has A-GPS too. But to use it (on any phone) you need to have data activated. In Europe it is a problem if you travel to another country, because using data becomes very expensive then.

Regarding the speaker, I have no complains about it, certainly not worse then my old Motorola Defy. But I'm not demanding.
