[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] alexv59:
Hi. So was this on an upgrade or a new line or new customer? If an upgraded did BB give you any hassle? I'm getting mine on Saturday but was thinking that BB would just say that no price match since one is ATT and one is Sprint. I guess the same could be said about the "port your number" price. I can handle confused sales people as long as I have a "logical" argument as to why the price match so applies. :)

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Bizack:
It was a new line, new number, no number port for sprint. Just went in told them I want to price match from the sprint site where it is 250. Done deal no mishmash...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] alexv59:
Thanks. I figured asking for 249 would be pushing it :) I think I'll just ask them to price match ATT then see what I can get for my Note 2 for trade in. Also, the one up looks attractive but I would hate giving up my grandfathered unlimited data family plan.

Sent from the Awesome Lone Star State where the law abiding carry guns and the criminals think twice.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] tt281gt:
Push it to the limit! I too got it for $249.99, if not possible then settle for $299.99 and if both are no dice go to a different Best Buy and be friendly to the person helping you!!

A little bit of conversation, smile, and charisma go a long way [I was trying to flirt with her -- she was good looking LOL].

Would have been super nice if I also got the$50 gift card, but I didn't :silly:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] topekomsi:
I got my sprint note 3, added a line, no number port. The guy who sold me the phone found it for $249 on wirefly and price matched. I liked to have died, thanks bestbuy.

On side note, no one up program @ bestbuy. Only sprint stores or sprint.com.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] romeobob2:
Price match worked for me

Thanks to all who posted about asking BB to price match. I went to a Best Buy Mobile store and asked about price matching to the wirefly.com price and was told "No." Then went to a larger Best Buy store and asked about price matching and was told "No problem." Got the phone for $299 upgrade price.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] aquaholik:
It sucks that they charged you tax of $56 which means charging tax on prediscount price.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Bizack:
It is Nevada, all of the web sites did that as well...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] tt281gt:
Best Buys price match policy on their website clearly states they do NOT price match online retailers. With that being said, yes some do get lucky. What I did was look up other brick and mortar retailers to see what they showed as the "advertised price". Fry's has it for $249.99, so does Sam's Club, heck, even sprint has it "advertised" for $249.99, it's not until you look at the "fine print" that it shows $100 discount is for clients bringing their number from another carrier.

So if you want you can save another $50, use that towards a screen protector / case :silly:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] giannim24:
I guess the Note 3 is not eligible for the promotion. I went to a Best Buy Mobile kiosk in the mall and they told me it was but when I went to the purchase the phone they told me it wasn't part of it and refused to honor the promotion.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] darkleafar:
Did anybody try to price match after already have bought the phone?

Upon finding this thread, I immediately headed to best buy with proof of Sprint.com prices and such, and was denied by the manager on the grounds that they only price match if you do it on the day of the purchase. That the 15 day price match guarantee only applies to their own prices, and even then, mobile contract phones do not apply.

Thoughts?

Edit: I bought the phone on october 4th as an eligible upgrade. I actually got two, one for my wife and for me. We had two eligible upgrades.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] tt281gt:
If you want the discounts try another person / manager in the store. If not then try another store. If all fails you can go the route of returning them within 14 days or threatening to unless they match the price.

Good luck.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] aCeMaN2001x:
Hate bestbuy lol

I just went to bestbuy spoke to a manager and everything, Amazon has the gn3 on contract for 250 even for existing customers, they wont price match it, he even showed me in their price match guide where it says "no price match for on contract phones"... Then he says well how about a case (got one) how about a screen protector (got one), I said how about a gift card? Nope! lol... oh well I may take it back, and get it off amazon, its just lame how they say "beat any price" and then there is a bunch of fine print!

Yall that got them to price match, Thats freaking great!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] tt281gt:
They're reading it wrong.

It says the following:

"The Guarantee is limited to one price match per identical item, per guest and does not apply to: Contract mobile phones sold by any online retailer, the online prices of retailers not listed, the online prices of third party vendors (Marketplace vendors) on designated major online retailers websites"

So in other words, they will NOT price match ONLINE RETAILERS for CONTRACT PHONES. You are asking them to price match Sam's Club or Fry's Electronics, which are NOT just "online offers".

Talk to another manager / store, call them first and verify before you drive, just like a lot of Sprint reps are ignorant to their policies and services a lot of Best Buy reps are also ignorant.

;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] aCeMaN2001x:
Thanks Man!

Good to know! I will definitely try! plus I need to look at sams and frys ect, and if they (bestbuy) still want to be lame about it, I'll just buy it on amazon!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] rougeangel:
Hell I just got my note 3 from sprint today and the rep gave me the 100$ port credit even tho it was over yesterday, and I traded in a phone and got $135 credit for that, my note 3 only cost me $121 after it was said and done! Epic win!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] darkleafar:
I tried price matching a local store already at Best Buy. The problem is that they changed their policy back in March to where they no longer do retroactive price matches unless it is for prices within their own store. If it is a different store, the price match must be done at the time of purchase.Their policy states "We will match prices between our stores and BestBuy.com®. We will also match prices post purchase if we lower our price within 15 days of your purchase" But they made it clear that no longer applies to stores other than Best Buy.

So, there you have it, I tried and fail. However if anyone succeeds at price matching POST purchase please let me know, I would love to know how you did it and a copy of the receipt!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] SantinoInc:
Read my other Thread here in the General Section. Target will price match Amazon's $250 price even if the phone isn't in stock. I returned my phone to Best Buy hoping that they would honor a price match but the manager was a real JackOff. I went through with the return and went to Target where they priced matched Amazon for $250.

Be aware that Sprint will not automatically get rid of your activation fee if you returned the phone after 3 days. You will have to put up a bit of a fight to get it removed but it can be removed.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] darkleafar:
Yeah but, isnt there also a restocking fee? I also heard you "can't revert your upgrade" and I also bought TWO phones. Also, I traded in my old Evo in and got 105 credit for it. Plus I had a 50 dollar gift card that I used during the purchase. And I spent 25 dollars pre screen protector already, which are already on. Not entirely sure that, in my case, the return would be worth it.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Grinabl:
So today i decided to update my phone's nAa kernel to the latest version because i wanted to flash another custom rom(latest cyanogen mini),I downloaded the version for my phone(xperia x10 mini) and i put it in my flashtool's firmwares folder,then i opened up flashtool and selected the flash device option-flashmode then powered of the device and then i pressed the back button while entering the usb into the phone.Now problem is that i chose not the x10 mini kernel but a a kernel that was meant to be flashed later to my other phone(xperia neo).Now my phone is powered off,is not responding to the power nor any other button on the phone and i can no longer access the flash mode to flash the right one.What could i possibly do to get onto flash mode?Is it "bricked"?

Got my kindle back

Just want to vouch for this procedure. I followed it and got my Kindle back to its stock settings. It is 8.4.8. I was able to root it, but when I tried installing the bootloader, I must have done something wrong (wrong version maybe?). It hung on a reboot and just sat there with the orange Kindle Fire logo. Volume buttons did nothing. I was able to get it to go into fastboot, so I figured it wasn't a total loss. After trying about everything else, including using KFFirstAide just by itself, this procedure finally did the trick. I unrooted it now, and I don't think I'll make a second attempt.

I killed my KFHD8.9 by some naughty fastboot command.. Had twrp and some older CM rom but everything was buggy so I was trying to update when I did something I shouldn't have apparently (I think the last command was a fastboot command before everything died). The kindle won't boot up, no screen, nothing. It just heats up if you connect it to charge is all I can tell.

I downloaded everything per instructions in this thread but after the first fastboot command nothing happens it just stays at "< Waiting for device >". Also, 'adb devices' doesn't report anything connected. All my other devices connect fine. I have also pressed the power button for 30s to make sure the kindle is off prior to connecting for fastboot command...

Can this be fixed? Thanks!

Not sure what Kindle you have since you did not say.

The HD Kindles as far as I know will not boot into fastboot using commands so, your is normal.

Regards

---------- Post added at 07:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:26 AM ----------

I am pretty sure your tablet is not recoverable depending on what fastboot commands you were trying when it stopped booting.

Do you remember what you were attempting to do?

If an incorrect non-signed partition was flashed to the tablet (e.g., from some other Kindle model), the tablet will be bricked.

If the wrong image was flashed to the bootloader partition, you are also bricked since the bootloader is key to turning on the tablet.

If your tablet is warm when plugged in, it means it charges at least.

Since the tablet will not turn on, or get into fastboot using the command line on your PC, there is nothing else to do.

The 8.9 tablet does not support the use of a fastboot cable.

What is w8? M8 I haven't a clue what you mean, the Amazon jem (fired 8.9) is a very very old device with low memory, the guys here done a great job managing to get it updated to 7.1 nougat ( I think was the last build)

Most of the os and software you mention is built for devices a lot newer and the old boy jem just simply wouldn't cope with it.

That being said though if you trawl back through the old posts, you will find relevant releases and methods that will make the jem a much more better experience than it was with fireos:good:

There is bin4rys method which is the most common for root access on this device, once you have root you can push, a freedom-boot image of your choice 8.4.3 or 8.4.6 which will let you install and then.update TWRP.

Once TWRP recovery has been installed you will be able to flash custom roms such as resurrection remix, crdroid, lineage viper and so on and so forth. These have been based on newer versions of Android to give the look and feel of a more modern device

As I said [MENTION=1422912]ille[/MENTION]onid the xda search bar is a brilliant tool, if you can't find it on here or Android filehost then it's not really worth bothering about really. Put a bit of work in and you'll get result bud :D
