Wow that's what I'm talking about. Hmmm I may have go get it this weekend

I love the 90s. Good times.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] daniel4653:
Okay thanks for the info. I never knew how their trade in program worked since I had never used it before.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] parmend:
There early upgrade program sucks !!! Rip off !!!! I've heard a few people avoid having to sell there phone to sprint and just paying the upgrade fee. But they went through customer service .
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] daniel4653:
Glad I am waiting until my actual upgrade.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Sephirothvfc:
If you would have checked Thursday 4/25/13 best buy was giving $350 for the phone as trade in value. I had buy back on my phone which guarantees me $280 right now. But because the trade in value was higher than buy back, I would have received $376.50 if I traded my phone in. I was stupid not to do it. I still get $280 but that's almost $100 difference lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mlin:
Best buy offered me $330 in person
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] E The Magnificent:
I know where I'm going after work

I love the 90s. Good times.

Re:

If you want to do the early upgrade what you need to do is find an old phone from

Sprint with a clean esn and trade it in. Then you can pay the early upgrade fee and get phone with subsidize price. Then sell the phone that your S3 on ebay or craiglist foe 300+ and that way you'll save some money. For the early upgrade fee they just need a phone to be trade in but it doesn't has to be your current phone it just need be a clean esn phone. You trade in like an old blackberry or the first Evo or it could even be feature phone like Moto Rzor but with clean esn.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] GiantJay:
Yes this is what I was going to do but it's not worth it to buy the early upgrade. I'm just going to buy the phone off contract.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JoeFCaputo113:
All together how much would doing the early upgrade cost? Cause buying off contract is like $750+, obviously if it's cheaper than that, then doing the early upgrade would be wroth it!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Jfree3000:
From browsing the HTC One forum you can ask bestbuy to price match the retail price for the carrier. Some say it worked, others said it didn't. Can't hurt to try.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] GiantJay:
I already asked they said they price match everything but phones. I'm just selling mine and buying new off amazon, they have the same prices as Sprint.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] LexLuger82:
How much is early upgrade?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] GiantJay:
It depends on where you are in your contract. They told me $100 for two months early. An early upgrade is a rip off in my book. Might as well buy the phone outright off contract and save the upgrade for a later time.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mlin:
Yeah, I was surprised. When I went to look at the HTC one they offered me $330 and said they would price match. That's as good as getting it with a new contact.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] GiantJay:
I would have jumped on that too. Maybe I will go to the Samsung kiosk and see if they will do anything for me, otherwise amazon is fine free two day shipping. I am a Best Buy Silver member so maybe that will sway them a little.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] digit12345:
i have recently tried upgrading early recently after talking to 7 different people and they refused to allow me to upgrade early saying even after asking if i could pay a fee to upgrade early they told me there was nothing they could do.... (my upgrade date was September 1st) btw i was in a corporate store calling from there phone line to try and get a hold of some one who would work with me.i ended up cancleing my line and opening a new one... my 4th e4gt died and they wanted to ship (Because the stores supposedly dont carry them any more) me a refurb but i couldnt wait for a phone in the mail as i use it for work and didnt have a spare sitting around as i had just given one to a friend who broke theirs and sold my other spare e4gt on ebay. so beware the customer service can suck so much ass at times ... i hear good things occasionally but still watch out.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] GiantJay:
I went to best buy today and spoke with the Samsung rep and they will price match Amazon for $599. So by the end of next week I will have the S4.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JoeFCaputo113:
Wait... what the hell... Best Buy or Samsung is giving you $599?!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] GiantJay:
Best Buy, they have a Samsung kiosk in the stores now like Apple but everything is still through best buy. They price match Amazon who has it for $599.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JoeFCaputo113:
So what exactly did you do? You just told them Amazon has a brand new S4 selling for $599 and they said ok lol? If so, I'll be getting one ina few weeks...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] GiantJay:
Yep. They price match Amazon for anything, I do it all the time. They verify the price usually by just looking at my phone and I show it to them. Sometimes they just go to the website and look on their computer or tablet or phone in the store. But ya I get killer prices on things all the time.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] LexLuger82:
You paying 600 for a s4 ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] GiantJay:
Yes. That is the price that you can order it from Sprint and Amazon for to.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] w8setter:
I've also never had an issue with best buy price matching....In fact when I upgraded to the S3 I payed $150 and the next week I seen it at Radio Shack for $100 and they matched it and gave me $50 back....Im just stuck between which phone to get the S4 or the one....?......
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] GiantJay:
I know I'm still deciding but pretty much committed to the S4.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
I'd say s4. The One is having LTE issues again like the EvoLTE did, no sdcard slot, no removable battery, 4.7" screen, HTCs sh*t support and lack of kernel source releases, 4mp camera sensor while it takes good pics if viewed on the phone they look "off" on large screens. The only thing it really has going for it is the front facing speakers and OK build quality. I say OK because I'm pretty sure the aluminum unibody is why it has connectivity issues. The screen is just OK, imo, it looks washed out compared to the amoleds and it looks worse in direct sunlight. The biggest turn off for me tho is it's HTC and they're not the most dev friendly of companies just like LG and Motorola. I despise locked bootloaders, I mean what's the point? They don't do anything but annoy the sh*t out of devs and hobbiests and cause a bunch of bricks while being cracked.

I like to break stuff! :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] GiantJay:
Ya there is probably no way I will get the One. I swear it seems like HTC payed some of these tech sites to pump up the phone. Either that or these sites really hate plastic. When I start the job as a radio technician I will have to have a second phone on a GSM carrier so maybe then I will get the One?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mlin:
Have you looked at Sprint's website recently? The HTC One is receiving very high marks with a considerable number of reviews and I don't think all the reviews are from people on HTC's payroll. In addition, under the S4 reviews there are several complaints about reception.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] GiantJay:
Ya I don't take that stuff too seriously. Have you ever been on the Sprint forums? Most people barely know how to use their phones on there. My brother has had the S4 since last Friday so I've played with it. I will be at his house for his graduation party later today to. I can always take whichever phone back if I hate after a week or two. :thumbup:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
If I was on GSM I'd go for a nexus 4, idk I used to like HTC til they started being less friendly to the development community. That just kind of turned me off after I'd put up with the issues my Evo4G had and that piece of sh*t known as the Evo3D.

Reception issues are subjective. But when you have 2 LTE device's side by side and 1 gets full bars on LTE and the other won't even attempt to connect I'd say theres a real flaw in the design.

☆SoA: Son's of Android™☆

I like to break stuff! :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mlin:
Kind of interesting that there are many complaints about reception, which has been an issue that plagued Samsung phones for years. It is subjective, obviously no one is out there measuring actual signal strength but when you have several people saying the same thing I'm inclined to think there may be a real issue. It doesn't matter to me which phone you buy, I'm just saying I don't think its all puppy dogs and roses with the S4.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
More than likely it's not the phone but the network in their area. I live in a pretty good signal area and on 3g the 2 are comparable but it's LTE where the One fails. The s4 will have full bars on LTE and the One won't connect no matter what, and it's not the individual phone cuz my dad's had it replaced 4 times since he bought it a week ago. I've never had to replace any phone for signal issues until the aluminum unibody's became the new "in" thing. And for comparison I can damage the signal on my note 2 to the same point buy putting an all aluminum case on it, which is pretty good evidence that the aluminum construction is the cause of the signal degradation. Not to mention aluminum gets damaged really easily it scratches and dents and dings with very careful normal use. Put it in your pocket with keys and it comes out looking like it went thru a war zone from the marring on the case.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] GiantJay:
Well my phone auction ended and it only sold for $275. So I'm just trading it in at Best Buy today for $250 when they open and buying the S4 today too. Then I will individually sell all the accessories I have or give some stuff to my friend who has a S3. Not too bad when I think of it. I bought my S3 in November for $360 and will sell it today for $250.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] LexLuger82:
How much is your difference?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JoeFCaputo113:
He's buying the S4 for $599 (with tax it will be aprox $650)... so 650-250= 400. Yay I can do simple math!

EDIT: Also [MENTION=4717493]GiantJay[/MENTION] are you getting the S4 TODAY?!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] GiantJay:
Very good Joey! Lol. Plus what I recoup from accessories. Hopefully $50. I guarantee if I ask for $50 from my friend he will give me it at least for all my batteries and cases. Best Buy doesn't open till 11 am, argh. :cool:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] GiantJay:
I forgot Best Buy has to ship away the phone before I get trade in for it. So hopefully Tuesday or Wednesday I can get the S4. Until then back to the S2.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] GiantJay:
Scratch that they give you a gift card on the spot.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Johnnysauur:
Radioshack's only giving around 200 for the galaxy s3 xD. They just got the s4 in for sprint and att :p.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] LexLuger82:
Yep
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jazz995756:
So you took it to the store and they gave you a best buy gift card? That's awesome
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Don_dada:
For the people doing Best the Buy trade-in/buy back, did you originally purchase your device from Best Buy??
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JoeFCaputo113:
No. It doesn't matter where you purchased your device.

Hey. I have a Samsung galaxy tab 10.1 running aokp on 4.12 and when I go to download an app or game onto my tablet, it states that the storage is full and I need to clear some memory, however when looking into the storage information, my videos, photos, games, and apps only equals up to like 5GB out of a built in 16GB.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arashtarafar:
Hi, my friend!

I think that your partitions are messed up, because the picture shows that only 123MB is left on your sdcard. restocking using Odin will help, if you don't mind losing your data, of course. you can backup your data before restocking, though...

some same case has happened to me: I was running stock ICS, then flashed Ubuntu touch, and that repartiitoned my tab, I then flashed paranoid CM 10.1 ROM and now I have to erase data that won't be shown from my device using ADB...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] H. Ess:
I'm slightly noobish in such and was wondering if you had suggestions to a thread or steps on indicating how to keep my information while fixing the problem
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DefQoN_BE:
1. pull all your critical data off of /data/media as best you can (you can do this in CWM using 'adb pull data/media/' or boot in to android and use MTP, or backup your apps with titanium backup and no data will be lost. (STORE ALL YOUR BACKUPS ON YOUR PC OR YOU'LL ALSO WIPE YOUR BACKUPS & DATA)

2. wipe all your /data in CWM or Stock Recovery

3. check if your partitions are fixed now (most likely, you'll have ~13 Gb free memory)

4. move your backups and data back to your tablet and restore it

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ozo012:
Hey guys,

I picked up a LTE Micro SIM card for my Note 2 from my local Verizon store and was looking to activate it. I already own a HTC Rezound but that has the larger regular SIM in it. Is it as simple as activating the new SIM using the directions outlined below? And then popping it in.

http://m-support.verizonwireless.com/information/4gsim.html

Just want to make sure I keep my unlimited.

Thanks,

Chris
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] TheodorK11:
Yes just remove your battery from your Rezound and pop the SIM you got into you Note and Whala!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ozo012:
Awesome thanks! I didn't trust the verizon store to not try to switch me on to one of the share your wallet plans so I made them give me a Micro sim and then promptly left.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] joshw0000:
You could have also bought a sim card cutter off eBay. But now that you have a smaller sim, pick up an adapter in case you want to use the Rezound again (can't image why). I'm using a nano sim in my Note in an adapter so I can confirm that any sim can be adapted any way.

Is this possible to do? Its just a personal preference but it annoys me to be there all the time.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] Lookatthemonkeys:
I searched for this too. Using Titanium Backup you can "Freeze" the app labeled "Power" under Backup/Restore. This will get rid of the notification button, but will also remove the "Battery" list in your android settings. I just downloaded a different battery app or widget to replace it.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] grinchyboy:
Or you can hold it then press app info then force stop

Most of you fail to remember. This was a standard feature on most mobile phones in the 90's also, most high end NOKIA's have an IR Blaster on them. Well, noit sure about currently, but this is NOT a new feature. Just new to you. I too am guilty of doing the same when I first got mine in the teens. Talk about mayhem , wow.

---------- Post added at 02:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:14 AM ----------
