LOL these posts are starting to get annoying! Ok don't shoot me here! haha but seriously people we all have options. Option one pre-order, sit at home and have your device delivered. No need to go to the store. Option two get your butts up, go to the store on the release day, hope they have them and get it. PERIOD! What's the whole big fuss about? I mean you can't wait couple of days to get your device? I'm probably one of the most impatient person when it comes to these things and I can honestly say I'm not that pressed about it. I knew it would ship the 10th when I ordered it and I still ordered it. No one lied and I had a choice!

Ok that's it. LOL. All that said I would be very happy if I did receive it by the 10th haha.

No kidding! Stop already lol... Big Red says the 10th and that's the only fact out there at the moment.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] oneandroidnut:
it will technically be in stores wednesday but they cant sell til thursday! :P
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] f-castrillo:
Well, my order somehow got cancelled without my knowledge a week after I preordered. I found this out last week, and called CS yesterday to verify it and have them try to figure out why it happened (no reason indicated in their system, so I'm thinking the guy who initiated my preorder messed it up somehow). So I have no preorder to cancel lol.

I will buy from whoever sells it first, whether it be Best Buy, or a VZW corporate store. They are next door to each other, so it makes little difference to me
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] TabGuy:
I work for a retailer. If we promise an exact ship date we would never, ever ship early. If we did there's a strong chance that the credit card charges would fail. People are counting on Verizon shipping, and charging their credit card, on October 10th. Not a day sooner. Doing it sooner would be breaking a promise and not a good business tactic.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] chino0131:
Learned my lesson about being patient after pre ordering my last two phones...the last being the Note 2. After all the fuss and waiting I got mine the day I was told I would. It was worth the wait, but the last week was the worst.

A buddy of mine canceled his pre order of the Note2 two days early and tried to go pick one up in store... only to find out every store in my area (VZW, Best Buy, etc) had already sold out of the limited amount of devices they received in store for the initial release. Needless to say, he wished he had waited for his preordered device.

If you cancel your pre order I'd recommend doing what the iphone boys do....be camped out side the stores before they open. My understanding is preorder doesnt guarantee youll get the device early. It just guarantees you'll get a device on the release date since theres no guarantee stores will have adequate stock.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] phocus:
I actually expected my card to be charged immediately when I pre-ordered. I was very surprised when it did not, and I called the store back to make sure nothing was wrong.

I did see reports of people getting tracking numbers, and some shipping from Memphis.

If so , I will have mine the next day :)

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chico1st:
Hi there I am a newb to ROMs and I have what I think is an easy question.

My girlfriend has a Nexus S which has gotten incredibly slow lately.

There dont seem to be extra apps running on the phone (i tried uninstalling almost all of the apps) so I assume I need to try a different rom/kernel (everything is stock of whatever was pushed to her phone).

I dont think she would care about extra features but would just want it reliable.

I really dont know what to install. If it should be some paired down rom/kernel, A new one, or older one.

I imagine a newer kernel (i think they have trim??) and paired down would be better.

Although using and old build for reliability/speed would be completely acceptable too.

Are there any recommendations? I am pretty lost.

Thank you so much!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] continuum51:
Using Slim atm

Pretty smooth if you don't enable google now.

However the 512mb ram is really killing the phone, takes ages to load apps let alone multitask

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chico1st:
ok so the different roms/kernels have a pretty big effect then I take it.

Its my gf's phone so i cant go about trying tonnes of different setups. She wants it to just change and then be fine to use for a few years.

Greenify looks interesting.

do the themes affect speed/ram usage?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Setting.Out:
Themes/theming can affect speed/ram.. If you want a rom to stand the test of time; MDO, Rasbeanjelly, Hellybean, Slimbean (4.1.2).. If you upgrade past this, the 4.2.2's are laggy and ram hungry.. 4.2.2's are also not as stable. Jellyshot and Rasbeanjelly are the most stable/ram friendly 4.2's... Use stable/or stock kernels and don't overclock!!! Once you set up the phone, it's a phone, all the "settings" don't make the phone any more or less a phone...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Naddict:
Sorry folks, recommendation for best rom threads get closed, why? because history shows that almost all of them become arguments over what rom is "better" and essentially, that is something that can only be determined by individual users.

[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] darkjed:
Hi All

I have a problem, and don't really know that to do. I have a Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4g, rooted, running the latest nightly and modem. Recently I went on vacation to Europe and while there used local sim cards from t-mobile Eu. At first nothing worked, Then I read some forums and from there learned of the *#*#4636#*#* code. Used the Select Radio Band option and switched to the Euro band selection. All was well Europe SIM cards worked Data, voice everything.

I get back to Canada, and I figure I need to switch back to the USA band. So I do. but still no service, no voice or data. I can get roaming. but that's not really an option. I see the network operators Bell and Rogers, but no Wind or Mobilicity(who use the 1700 band). I'm on wind. So to me it looks like the 1700 mhz band is turned off on my phone.

So far I have tried...

Used the *#*#4636#*#* multiple times switching bands...

Tried using the settings menu to select wcdma preferred or global

Re-flashing the modem

Flashing to the newest nightly

Tried a verified good SIM card

Nothing works....

I'm thinking I may have to go back to the stock t mobile software and try to turn on the radio there...

So does anyone have an idea what could be missing? Or how to specifically turn on the 1700 mhz band? The select radio band pop up only has two options Euro band and USA band.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] darkjed:
Okay!

So I think I'm back up and running, all AWS networks in Canada show up. Haven't tried data or voice, but I'll be doing that on the way home from work...I'll post after if things still don't work...

So these are the steps I took....

1. Using CWM I did a full back up to an SD card.

2. Then using CWM I flashed the stock JB firmware from here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=41209211&postcount=1

3. In the Dialer app. I dialed *#197328640# navigated through the gsm,lte,wcdma options and set the band selection to automatic.

4. Tested phone on stock to see if it picks up the networks...and it did!

5. Using CWM restored my original cyanogenmod install with all settings and software.

6. Tested network connectivity again, and the networks now show up.

On the way home I'll do some tests with data and voice.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] darkjed:
Looks like everything works! woot!
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Nardholio:
It looks like there's a bug in the band selection code. It should be offering you the AWS frequencies, as well an an automatic everything choice.

I'll look into a fix for apexqtmo. In addition, I will nuke the CDMA options, they're not needed and probably causing other problems.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] randpost:
I have 2 lines that I put the $0 Down Note 3's on. Both lines have JUMP!

From my understanding after speaking to a rep is; I will have paid the following up until my 6 month upgrade date.

JUMP: $60.00

6 Month EIP: $177.00

Initial tax: $58.76

Total spent at time of 6 month upgrade: $295.76

For me, I don't count the $60.00 spent on JUMP! I only count a small amount since I would spend $8.00 dollars a month on the insurance anyway. So $2.00 a month for JUMP! Brings my total to $247.76

Also, if you want to go with the Nexus 5 straight from Google or any non financed phone in 6 months, you don't have to upgrade, you can just turn your phone in which will eliminate future EIP payments.

$766.00 - 247.76 = $518.24 remaining balance. At 6 months I might be able to get that much selling the Note 3 on the open market depending on the Android market.

To me it's a no brainer going with the Note 3 at 0 down as it leaves me with decent options at 6 months. I'll probably be bored with the N3 at about that time if not a little earlier.

Did anyone else go for or reject the $0 down Note 3 with JUMP? And why?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] HughesNet:
No you're reasoning is pretty good. Little to no benefit in paying full and selling yourself unless you want to upgrade earlier then 6 months.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mtpktz:
Also remember that the tax is not included in EIP and although you're paying the tax, it's not part of the balance on the phone. Technically, the balance that will be wiped with JUMP is $531 ($708-$177).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Kawaisa:
Decided not to go with JUMP because I wouldn't pay for insurance anyways.

After CA tax, 6 months of jump would cost me $300.

Given that I can get the phone from Negri for $650~

I can sell the phone after a whole year for $350~
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] HughesNet:
Certainly but don't forget eBay and PayPal fees.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Kawaisa:
Just sold my note 2 for $410 on ebay and my Note 1 for something similar to that, Even after fees, you're on top.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] HughesNet:
I don't doubt it. Just for me not by enough to bother. Then again I upgrade more often then 6 months so I sell myself every time as well. If I lasted the 6 months though I would just hand it in personally and I take the $0 down so I have the choice
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] systoxity:
same conclusion here.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] CodyOdi:
I ended up doing JUMP as well. I get insurance on my phone plus I can get a new phone every 6 months. I'll most likely get a new phone every year but it's still nice to know that I'm not locked into one phone for 2 years like I have been in the past. I know a lot of review sites hate JUMP, but they all seem to leave out that it also include insurance for your phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] SGBE:
I ended up going with Jump as well since it seems my cost analyst shows the 6 month mark being the most advantageous time to move on or stick it out until 11-13 months.

Prepaid is the $30/month plan with full cost out of pocket up front.

$0 down - Plan A is the standard $50 plan with 2.5G data + Jump. No taxes included.

$0 down - Plan B is the same plan WITHOUT the Jump. No taxes included.

Market value is the expected private party sale price over time and is based on historical S3, S4, and Note 2 data.

The TMO payoff is just that as time goes on.

You mileage may vary...

Scott-
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] PolishDude:
If you upgrade your phone every 6 months, jump works but if you plan on holding it a year, I don't think its a good deal, at the 12 month mark you will pay $474 for the Note 3 yet turn it in for free and who knows if T-Mobile will have these zero down deals in 12 months or even in 6 months because if they get rid of the zero down deals it completely kills the deal!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] hdad2:
^^perhaps, but if you would even consider paying for insurance without jump, then what is the extra $2/month really costing you? I'll gladly pay $24/year on the chance that I might want to trade my phone in at any point after 6 months.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mailboy1412:
Can you explain more about this JUMP 6months trade in thingy? Is there any catches?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] tdoughone:
Only catch is your phone has to be in decent condition without water damage I think.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] thinkjoey:
I put 180 down

I did not qualify for 0 down because I have had no phone credit history (used metro pcs for the better part of my cell phone life)

Even though I have killer credit, but oh well. Jump is worth it if you want insurance. Verizon makes you pay for insurance on top of their jump like program.

I am not interested in buying a 700 dollar phone and not putting some sort of insurance on it. I have known too many people that have made that mistake. Surely it is a scam if you never use it, but phones drop and you gotta insure that

I plan on upgrading after a year to the note 4 or whatever seems good at the time. I am not willing to jump after 6 months.

---------- Post added at 03:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:04 PM ----------

This is correct. If it does have damage then you have to put an extra 60 or so towards the new phone to fix the old one
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] randpost:
Agreed. Jump is easy to decide if you get insurance anyway.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] shook187:
Getting jump on a popular phone like the Note 3 is a sucker's move for the simple fact you can sell it outright and probably get more than what the balance remaining would be.

Jump for my situation worked out better because I ended up getting the LG G2 with no money down and who knows what that'll be worth after six month so I like the option to be able to trade it in and have that balance wiped out.

But if I had the Note 3, I would pass on jump
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] hdad2:
I agree with the resale value argument. So it still comes down to the insurance for me. A $700 galaxy note should hold its value, but it's also expensive enough that I feel it must be insured. And that makes jump a no-brainer. Without insurance, I'd want a super tough, nuclear blast type case for it and this phone is big enough.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] tony yayo:
Think you can get $530 for it used? after 6 months? Cash? Cause thats what tmobile will give you? With no deposit anyway. No deposit makes Jump very worthwhile to me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] DataHawg:
I went with jump and zero down. The rep told me you can't use the installment plan without Jump.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] PolishDude:
i dont think that is correct, if you put zero down that is the installment plan isnt it?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] DataHawg:
Yeah. I had never read that anywhere and I wanted Jump anyway so I didn't question it. If you got zero down and monthly payments without it then he was wrong.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] lowandbehold:
That's probably true, but many people who buy used phones are now making sure the phone wasn't purchased on EIP. It is a big scam going on right now. If you sell your phone then don't pay your bill, the phone gets blacklisted. I personally would never buy a phone from someone and hope that they continue to pay their bill.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] people211:
I decided to buy the phone after considering doing the payment plan. I didn't want a $100+ cell phone bill. So I just bought it and got the insurance. If I like something better next month, I can get that and still get most of my money back on eBay
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] majordallas:
I didn't qualify for 0 down, so I just used my S4 on a trade in which paid off half the Note 3 right there and got Jump. I had the $11.99 insurance plan before, but switching to Jump gave the same insurance but lowered the price by $2, every month. So, I went in, paid taxes, upgraded my phone, and lowered my monthly bill; overall, not a bad deal...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] DataHawg:
Good points. Even if you checked with Tmobile, a used phone may not show up as not being paid off for at least a month when the next payment is due. I guess it would be wise to demand a receipt proving the phone is paid off. No receipt, no deal
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Ms. K:
Jump and Ensquared

HI,

I'm going to add my phone to ensquared for that insurance also. So if I get an problem because of knox. I can use ensquared. Then work with Tmobile when I'm ready to jump.

What do you guys think?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] misterzeno:
Or just meet for the sale in a T mobile store.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] DataHawg:
True. That's the best way but it isn't always possible. I've heard reports though that people did meet at the store and Tmobile said all was good. A month later they get the phone shut off. A receipt from tmobile saying the phone is paid off is the best option even if you meet at the store
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ROADKING17:
But what if the receipt shows it is paid off then they report it lost or stolen through insurance claim. Then what happens to the phone. Personally I would never buy a phone from someone
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Griggs2121:
$0 down?

How are you guys getting $0 down for the Note 3? For me it shows $199 down and $21 installments per month
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] str8killinya:
I think it's over now

Jedi Elite Powered T-Mobile Note 3
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] krelvinaz:
Yep. But you will start seeing discounts in a few weeks as we get closer to Xmas.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Griggs2121:
What are you installment payments for $0 down? I'm assuming you'll still be paying the $704 list price for the the N3. So for example, $200 down + $21x24 = $704. So do you get $0 down + $29.33x24 = $704?

I'm sort of wondering what the benefit will be to waiting for black friday etc. I don't mind paying more up front and having a lower monthly payment.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Kawaisa:
that's pretty much it

it was a good deal for people who like to upgrade at 6+/- months or so, therefore not paying $200 upfront makes sense. If you're paying it off then it's just a matter to lower monthly payments.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Griggs2121:
Ok, thank you.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] vtwin-racing:
I noticed JUMP is on my 1st bill and just read my contract and this is what it states..

Property Insurance: You are not required to purchase property insurance protecting against the loss or theft of the items purchased under

this contract as a condition to receiving credit. If you decide to purchase property insurance, you may obtain the insurance from anyone you

want. If you get the property insurance from or through us, you will pay $4.79 for the initial term of 1 month, and the same amount for each 1

month thereafter. Except where prohibited by law, we or our affiliate may receive a financial benefit by way of a rebate, commission, or

otherwise, if you purchase property insurance offered or arranged through us.

So i will be removing Jump and shouldn't be any issues doing that.. Not 1 mention of Jump in the contract or requirement of it..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] cadiken:
Yeah but with jump you can change phones after six months and up to twice a year. The reason you don't need insurance is because it is included with jump which makes jump $10 a month. To me, totally worth it!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] vtwin-racing:
Yes i understand, was stating what contract says vs what the rep was telling DataHawg that JUMP was required..

For me no reason for JUMP, for others that's up to them. Options are always good used or not..
