yes i get what you're saying. I can't do that on mine. I'm on old family value plan with 5 lines on mine. I'm fine with paying $81/month with my goverment discount.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ArborRes:
Took this deal today to try out a T-Mobile service and get my Note 3 right away- simply ran out of patience for AT&T. :P

The news of Chainfire rooting and TWRP recovery working was enough to sway me toward T-Mobile today.

$0 down, $29/mo+$10/mo Jump+$70 for unlimited everything.

Since I can cancel the plan at any time after 14 days and keep the device by paying off the remainder without paying any ETF, I figure I can try this out. Also, the Jump deal is a good protection for the first few months to protect the big investment, though I don't think it is a good deal if you don't upgrade the phone for more than 8 months or so.

I just love the flexibility of canceling the plan or the Jump protection deal at any time, unlike AT&T or Verizon where they lock you in for two years!

Heck, if this T-Mobile proves out to provide good coverage on a daily basis, I may just cancel the AT&T phone completely and transfer the number over for good. :)

BTW, this smartphone is just great! So far, so good!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mingkee:
The best part of it is you can request unlocked code for free once you paid in full.

The branding is pretty minimal and the Wi-Fi calling is what you need with T-Mobile service.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] abalosmusic:
Damn... y 4? So u trying to pay $120 extra a month for the instalments? Lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bobbyphoenix:
T-Mo gots their acts together! LOL I figured since the promotion is going on T-Mo is going to take a while to get through the orders, but either there aren't that many, or they really have a good system. I ordered yesterday, and chose regular ground UPS for $6, and received an email this morning that my ordered shipped, and should be here tomorrow. Great service T-Mo!

"Scheduled Delivery:

Friday, 10/04/2013, By End of Day"

That's awesome!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] tekkitan:
I got off my old expensive "unlimited" plan and got the 2.5gb data plan (same data amount I have now and saving me $30/month). Then I got the $0 down for $29.50/month so for the same amount I was paying, I get the same plan and a Note 3 :D

Can't wait till it shows up.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] hdad2:
So how does $0 down work with jump? I paid $0 for the phone, and in 6mo can upgrade. If I had paid $200 up front, I'd have paid roughly $320 after 6mo. But now will have only paid $180. Do I have to pay to turn it in at that time?

Not talking about paying for the next phone, but will we have to pay the difference of the up front cost of this one that we didn't pay?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] nba1341:
Yea im confused when you turn in your old phone they give you their price for your phone? Like $200? Or do they just forgive the rest of the amount you owe and you still have to make a down payment on a new device?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] lowandbehold:
The balance is waived. You get a new phone and pay however much that phone is per month.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Baratheonist:
with jump, you don't have to pay any balance due. That's why jump makes sense with this $0 down promo. Just turn the phone in for the new phone at 6 mos. up. You'll have to pay upfront cost for the new phone but if they're running another $0 down at such time for the phone you want, then it makes it even better. I'm willing to put my money on it that will happen again.

I'm guessing past 10 mos. jump isn't worth it at which point you can stop paying for that added feature.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] hdad2:
So this would mean that I paid $180 for my 6mo with the N3 and others (who miss this promo) will have paid almost twice that. And if I upgrade with another $0 down promo, then I can upgrade for no cost, just turn in the N3? That seems too good to be true. And as no one has ever actually upgraded using jump yet, we're sort of guessing unless there is documentation explaining this somewhere.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Baratheonist:
I believe that's exactly what it is. Too good BUT true. The hypothetical $0 promo 6 mos++ remains to be seen but the terms of contract for jump should not exclude that scenario.

I don't know how far back jump service was started , but if anyone was on it before, we should ask them if they were able to trade up their phones for the $0 promo now. If they did, then the same should work.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] hdad2:
I think Jump was only unveiled this summer. So maybe by year end people will be able to tell us. I want to believe it's true. But if it was, and they continue to run the $0 down promos as often as they have, every jump member will simply wait for one and upgrade to awesome new phones for nothing but their old one. This is essentially turning every phone sale into a lease with $0 down and $0 due at trade in. All for $30 a month which the other carriers bury into their plans ON TOP OF making you pay the $200??

I want to believe, I really do....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Double0EK:
The promotion is going on till Oct 14th 2013. F*ck it im getting 2!! One for me and one for the ol' lady.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Baratheonist:
Your're right, essentially the sale becomes a lease. That's why I say the zero down promo plus jump is a perfect marriage- up to a certain time (just like real life eh?) But even if the zero promo isn't available then, coughing up $199 wouldn't be a bad deal also.

So jump is very recent then? Must be a gamble Tmobile is willing to bet on. Whether jump turns out to be a good move or not, will help determine if more zero promos will be available to consumers regularly. Their aim is to get more subscribers and keep subscribers on their call and data service. The type of phone is just secondary. The pricing for their phones is the easiest to calculate and manipulate - if you know and have the numbers. There is much more to those phone prices than we know and see as consumers.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mingkee:
You never expect Note 3 has already sold out in some corp stores in just few hours.

It looks like a "killer success".
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Kawaisa:
For 6 months, you're paying $180 + tax on the original $700 + cost of jump each month
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] hdad2:
Yeah, which is a killer deal if I can do it again in 6 months without adding a dollar to my bill.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] SGBE:
Less than 26 hours from ordering online with TMO and the N3 is delivered -

Free overnight shipping from KY to CA as well!

Confirmed the Jump program covers the N3; even with us $0 out of pocket customers. :good::cool:

Beautiful device and blazing fast.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] polx:
cool
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] johnomaz:
I went in and got 0 down. Apparently my credit qualified me for their best optoins. I could have gotten 10 Note 3s on 10 lines for zero down. My wife tried to get zero down when she got her S4 and didn't qualify. Made me smile :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] cbucz24:
Mine is the same way. But my wife already has a tmo plan. Now I gotta either get my own or justify paying the down payment :thumbdown:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Mr Ian B:
Took advantage of the offer today and traded my S4 for the Note 3. Got $360 for S4 and had them apply it to price of phone. Will pay phone balance in a couple of months, close the account and go back to my $30 prepaid plan.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] fenrirx4:
got mine yesterday and loving it over the GSII i had. couldnt pass up a deal this good!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jpmorais:
i got mine for 0 down :) today!!!! i guess the promotion its already going on
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] clninja:
Jump sounds good and all. Paying only 180 after 6 months.. But do you really think that 6 months from now you can't sell your $700 phone on craigslist yourself for the same $520? Would be easy....even at $550

Just saying... Jump is only for people who Dont want to take the time to sell it themselves
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bryanthomas007:
I picked up my Note 3 Wednesday for 0 down. Great deal.

sent from my Note 3
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] XxLostSoulxX:
Exactly I just sold my Note 2 for 250$ and that was a generous of me. As tmobile would only give 152 for trade in.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] polx:
i didnt kno u could trade in ur old phone for cash at tmo.. i wonder how much i could get for my S3.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Mr Ian B:
Go here and look at top right button.

Ian B
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Baratheonist:
Yes and no.

Yes because I don't like the hassle. The slight loss is an acceptable trade-off.

No because it's more than an upgrade service. Jump includes the $8 premium insurance. If you're someone who likes to purchase insurance, then it's well worth it.

152? Your's must have been in bad shape as mine was valued at $275 on Oct.3.

To be clear, it is credit to your bill or phone purchase. Go to tmobile website or any tmobile store and have it assessed.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] XxLostSoulxX:
Nope we had 3 Note 2s. And all valued at 152$.

One had a crack and other two were in perfect shape. So I sold mine for 250$ on craigslist.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] hdad2:
I look at it the other way. I wouldn't pay $520 for a 6 month old Note 3 from craigslist. So I wouldn't expect other people to. Maybe I'm just cheap. But when it comes to used electronics, I'm usually willing to pay more for new and a warranty. Now, $400 for a 6 month old Note 3, maybe.

Now, I've read more on T-mo website about jump.

From the site:

The upgrade process:

The JUMP! upgrade process is simple:

1. Trade-in your current, working, EIP-financed phone.

2. Get your EIP balance paid off.

3. Make a down payment on whatever new device you want.

Notice the 2nd step... I think this is saying that T-mo will have a price that they are willing to give you for your phone, and if there is a difference between that and what you owe, pay up sucker. So the question is what are they willing to pay for a phone? If it is roughly what the new cost is less a typical down payment and the total of monthly payments, then I think those that took advantage of $0 down will owe. But that is me speculating because I'm a skeptic.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] polx:
thanks man
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Baratheonist:
Just curious, were your phones T mobile branded? or did you have some other carrier brand or international unbranded phone? That might explain the difference as the former can still be reused for whatever purpose as is. (Think re- furbished etc. )

In either case the $152 was a very lousy quote.

---------- Post added at 03:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:22 PM ----------

I clearly understand it as: the EIP balance as being paid off completely by the trade-up. You will owe nothing on the old phone. Despite your skepticism, T mobile will not lose money in the end with this set up as long as they have and keep you on their service plans. Also the $708 full price is an MSRP by Samsung to its retailers. Whatever the wholesale price is from Samsung is anybody's guess but I won't be surprised if it is much much less than what we think it is.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] hdad2:
I really hope you are right...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Baratheonist:
^^I'm with you on this.

The branch manager and sales rep confirmed this with me and their statements match the website description. 6 months down we'll be talking about it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] tony yayo:
I hope this isn't true. I'm trying to hold out til the 20th so I can migrate for $50 instead of $100. Im totally into trading ij at 6 months so the smaller the deposit the better for me. Might be worth the extra 50 to migrate now as opposed to a $200 down payment!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] DaMyth:
That's a surprise... I sold my Tmobile Note II Sim Unlocked for $410 two days prior the Note 3 was available for preorder, and mine was in pristine condition, owned it since the day it came out... I feel real good about that, now I only have to pay roughly $345 w/tax to upgrade my phone
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mazdamiata210:
I had a white note 1 and after some time you could see the blue from my jeans pockets turning the back blue.

Do you think with this new "leather" finish it will change colors?

I'm still undecided which color to get.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] H0rn:
I was wondering this before I bought it, although I decided to go through with the white one, i've had real leather on the back of a phone before and it turned kinda yellow from my hands being dirty etc..

Hopefully samsung thought of this before they made the fake leather touch and it will somehow prevent it.

Don't let it deter you from getting the color you want mate.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mazdamiata210:
I know I can always call Samsung and have another back sent to me if it happens but that's a headache. I don't think it would really be noticeable if it did happen because it's really just plastic, not actually leather. I think black looks more professional but the white phone stands out.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] H0rn:
I had the black note 2 but the carbon look on the white Note 3 got my mind set instantly haha.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mazdamiata210:
It is a nice look. I loved the way the black s4 looked, but the white one stand out more from the usual black phones.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] staryoshi:
The back of the phone is entirely plastic. No leather or leather-like material to be found. It just has a unique texture and faux-stitching etched onto it.

Mine will be protected by a Spigen Bounce case, so I do not expect it to wear. Also, I love the feel of the back. Go feel one up at the store.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agbbah:
I have the white note 3 and i can confirm it is hard plastic .. only has the texture of leather.. so it will not change color or get dirty like leather or fake leather ..

i think some us remember the back of the white blackberry bold white where it looked bad.. but this is not the case with the note 3
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mazdamiata210:
The reason I said this was because I had a white note 1 and it changed colors where my fingers were constantly on it from holding it in a usable position.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apprentice:
Absolutely YES

I saw the white one in the Samsung Store in London, it had obviously been handled a lot and the back was covered in black and grey scuffs. It looked really bad. Even if you don't get colour staining from your clothing, you will certainly see grime.

I had a white S-View case for my Galaxy S4 and the blue dye from my jeans stained the case and nothing would restore it.

You can of course always change the cover for a totally different colour, I went for black for all round aesthetics and convenience.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sukiaki96:
It's always safe to assume that anything you buy that is white will most likely turn yellow over time unless properly protected.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlueChris:
I wonder .. and maybe a poll will resolver this... how many people have there phones without a case.

I have the white N3 and i will use a case and a screen protector as i do in all my phones but ... IF i didnt had and in 1 year goes completely blue-red-green or whatever i will grab a new backplate.

Its a expensive device and needs prety good care..
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fredprime:
hi everybody,

i bought a samsung galaxy s4 mini

and i later realized it was a grade one replica

i want to put a custom os (cm mod) on it

the problem is i cannot enter into download mode

can anyone help?

i will be gratefull
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mar10o:
If it's replica, it's not Samsung. It has different hardware configuration, so you can't use S4 mini software.

You have to search under real device name.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fredprime:
Pease i am new; how do i search under device name
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s0ftcorn:
Go to Settings-->About Phone

There should be your current model number, but i doubt that there are any root guides for it. Of course you could be lucky and just have an older device. Besides i think its possible to fake the model number. Where do you got the replica?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fredprime:
this is all the information about my phone in the images.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s0ftcorn:
Hm, these look okay (although the kernel build date looks a bit weird but i cant compare it since im on CM).

What you can try is to dial *#1234# and post a screenshot of it, if thats not possible just look out for values like 9190 or 9192 or 9195. If *#1234# does not work you are on somekind of non-samsung software.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Whosat:
His model says GT-I9190. The kernel looks suspicious though but as he mentioned it was a grade one replica so the maker could've just used a custom model number.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fredprime:
yeah i got it with the *#1234#

droid pro not booting

hi

my pro was working fine on cm ( 2.3.7) but without the play store

so i tried unrooting with the z4root app

after it was done, i restarted the phone and it stucks at the motorola logo

please can any one help?

i booted into recovery and wiped cache but no change

i factory reset also in the recovery mode but still it still stucks.

please can anyone help
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Whosat:
I am assuming you are still referring to your grade one replica of the S4 Mini here, upon which you successfully rooted and install CyanogenMod?

You have to flash CM again and this time also flash the appropriate GApps.

If you are using CM10.2 then get 20130813. CM10.1 then get 20130812

i cant hurt to give it a try. you can also do it online (moto product support). if its going to cost you... they will let you know how much. just be honest with them if you get on the phone. their customer service reps are about as nice as nice can be. i think they are in india... but i got a return call from a dallas number. i get the feeling the call is routed through dallas. but i could be wrong.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] polarbearmc:
Anyone else been having this like... CONSTANTLY lately?

I'm pretty sure it refers to Facebook Messenger (it's messenger not messaging, which is how Facebook's Messenger app is spelled). I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app. I contacted support. I cleared data/cache. I cleared the whole systems cache in recovery. Nothing helps. This thing "stops responding" like 10 times a day. It's unbearable.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
Uninstall it?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] polarbearmc:
yea like i said i tried uninstalling it but it's not like i'm gonna keep it uninstalled haha. It's Facebook. It's one of the main reasons I even have a smartphone.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DJ_SpaRky:
I think he was being rhetorical and saying to stop using it.

I'm going to say Uninstall it, reboot, then reboot into Recovery and wipe dalivk/cache and Fix Perms, then reboot System, let the phone boot completely (10mins+), then reinstall said app from Play Store. This is what I had to do with G+ to get it working again.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] polarbearmc:
yea i figured as much. haha.

by the way i'm not rooted... so not sure, can i do fix permissions? i know there's the wipe cache when i reboot to recovery, but not sure about permissions...

thanks for the response.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DJ_SpaRky:
Fix Perms would be on a custom Recovery, such as TWRP or CWM. If you aren't running one of those (or another custom Recovery), then ignore that part or install one (this is XDA after all).
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] polarbearmc:
haha yea i don't root anymore since getting a phone that's actually powerful enough on its own to run the software that comes with it. but xda is still my forum of choice just because it's xda.

well thanks for the advice though, i'll try doing things in the order you mentioned anyway and see if that helps. unless i succumb to buying a note 3 tomorrow haha.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bag-o-droid:
Any luck? I rooted my S2, did a GS2ROMWIPE and installed [WizzedKAT Rom][V2.9 Final !!]. I then restored my backed-up apps using Super Backup.

I had to uninstall and reinstall Facebook as it kept crashing. I decided to also install FB Messenger. At regular intervals now even just when driving and using Google Maps navigation, I get the error "unfortunately, messenger has stopped" and I must click "OK". (screenshot attached).

I've uninstalled Messenger and am yet to receive another error, but I would like to install it again if there is a solution to this error.

EDIT: I followed the steps :

I got to wiping the Dalvik Cache but in Philz Kernel there is no Fix Pemissions. I left that out and rebooted. Then I started getting new errors that "Unfortunately, contacts has stopped". Have since rebooted and Contacts is working again. Will now try reinstalling FB messenger
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Fix permissions is starting to be left out of recoveries because it very rarely does anything anyone needs. As for your app im not sure. Its possible the dev needs to update it for use on kk. If you do a clean flash, and only install that app, does it still behave the same? If so its probably a compatibility issue.
