It works!

After reading through this thread at 12:00pm eastern time (I'm in NYC) I decided to pull the trigger and give it a shot. I logged in online and put the order in with the VERIZON30 code. I entered my card number and it showed the total to be ~$260. I got the confirmation e-mail and went to the store where I was able to get the last black Note 3. The rep did the standard stuff with setting up the phone and checking out but he came across an error message. He asked his associate if he had ever seen anything like that before and the other guy shook his head. Unable to figure out what had happened he proceeded with the check out and I was able to pay for the phone for only ~$130 (couldn't convince him to waive the upgrade fee but I can't complain). I'm not sure how much longer it'll be before Verizon catches on but pull the trigger now if you're definitely sure about buying it!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Ningboren:
Same here, I only paid 128... when i pick up the phone at the store last night, they want me to sign the bill, it was only $128. I was like really. The employees there was confused too. But they didn't care.

。
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] ZuneNinja!:
Success! I just got mine for $128 also. I couldn't get them to waive the upgrade fee, but I'm going to try calling in and see if I can get the credit back to my account.

Thanks to all that posted about this. I wouldn't have been so quick to jump on this deal otherwise.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] FrostyOrDie:
Verizon would be the first in line to screw you over so go ahead and give it to them. Stick to your guns. They've been honoring all their other mistakes and glitches
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] ShadowBlazerSS:
Came on this morning to see if the note 3 had been rooted yet and read about this. Immediately ordered one online and picked up at store with VERIZON30 code. When it was time to pay only $128 and change. Verizon has made me a happy customer again!!!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] BootlegZani:
Dammit if I didn't have Unlimited Data I would be all over this.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] swan3609:
I was able to move my upgrade to a non unlimited line, use the upgrade there. Then switched the N3 back to my line just fine. I triple checked the guys tablet as I check out to make sure my line was untouched.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] tcp112275:
I got a $300 phone for $90!!!!

I ordered a new 32GB Galaxy Note 3 last night and used the VERIZON30 code. My total came out to $260 and some change with activation fee and taxes. I chose instore pick up. When I went today to pick it up I was only charged $89.00 for the phone with taxes and activation this came out to be roughly $129. I do not know if this was a glitch in their system or not. Please try this and share with everyone who can upgrade. WOW a $300 phone for $89. That made my day I hope it makes yours as well.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] BootlegZani:
Hmm smart. I might have to try this.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] slide83:
Got mine for ~130.00 too.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] FrostyOrDie:
After seeing this work in system, csr asked for code and did it himself.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Samzebian:
I'm happy I was able to get a few people knowing about this deal. This may be a glitch, not sure exactly what's going on, but I might just get another one for my dad! :laugh:
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] jsdecker10:
I've been in and out of the Verizon store here in town and I was gonna pull the trigger earlier in the evening, but I was just too crunched on time, so I'll more than likely try this out tomorrow. Does anyone here have any idea how long this Verizon30 code will be good? I would imagine it's just a "limited time" kinda thing, but I really have no idea. Does anyone here know FOR SURE? And I know this is used when ordering online and doing an in-store pickup, but how about just walking in the store, making the Note 3 purchase, and telling the CSR that you have a coupon-code at checkout? :confused:
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] BeansTown106:
this same thing happened to me with the htc one i ordered online with verizon30 coupon but with in store pickup and when i got to the store they only wanted 20$ for the phone!! unreal.. there system is bugged to **** first they let preorders keep unlimited now there lliterally handing phones out for nothing haha this happened to my buddy as well somehow they are tripling the coupon and giving you 90% off!

---------- Post added at 12:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:38 AM ----------

online with instore pickup is what worked for me and Op so thats what i would do. i just hope they dont catch on and then charge us all a bunch of extra $ lol
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] swan3609:
Oh **** ya. Beans got in on the deal. I really hope someone manages to get custom recovery so you can work your magic. I have been on your roms on the s3,note 2, s4 and hopefully this note 3.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Gvaz:
I got my note for $148

But that was from trading in my SGS3 to best buy for it (because best verizon would give me was like $80)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] dubge:
you know it is about time verizon got screwed on something on a large scale
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] jsdecker10:
I'm gonna go to Verizon today and use this code and I'm also thinking about taking my S3 down to best buy and getting a few things with the credit I'll get over what Verizon would give me! These trade-in values by Verizon are RIDICULOUS compared to Best Buy!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] alhadee12:
If you're going to go the gift card method Best Buy is the place to go. Verizon your just giving your device away. Selling it is always good, but time consuming.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] nila@ufl.edu:
Might be doing something wrong but I wasn't able to find an option to even ship to store or enter a coupon ordering online through the business account upgrade section. Their CS is only open M-F too so I'll have to check Monday. :crying: looks like a killer deal though.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] jsdecker10:
-Ok, so what's the exact process in order to get this kinda deal?

-I have an upgrade on our account that I'm wanting to use, but it's NOT on my own personal line. The upgrade is actually on a line that has an older flip-phone associated with it and I'm wanting to transfer the upgrade from that line to MY line that has a galaxy s3 associated with it. When I go to the Verizon Wireless website, what's the exact process I need to follow on the website?? I'm wanting to do this tonight and be able to pick it up in my local store tomorrow afternoon.

Thanks!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] New2thistec:
how do you get unlimited data?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] njfoses:
Verizon used to have unlimited data and people are grandfathered in. You have to buy devices at full price to keep your unlimited data. You can no longer get unlimited data unless you take over a line that already has it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Gvaz:
That's kind of bull****. I traded in my 32gb USCC SGS3 to best buy (I work there) and I only was able to get $168 tradein value.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] SirLance99:
NA
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] jsdecker10:
Well, when did u trade it in? Because those listed trade-in values have been steadily decreasing for the last several months since around the time the S4 came out. I remember right when the S4 came out, I was VERRRYYY close to trading in my Verizon S3 at Best Buy and getting the S4 with our upgrade that we've had on our account for what seems like FOREVER. Lol I just never did get the S4 because I had too much goin on in my life and getting a new phone was wayyyy down on my priority list.. but. , Best Buy WAS offering a trade-in value of $235 back in the spring time and it's been steadily decreasing every month or so since the S4 finally hit the shelves. I wish these different trade-in values didn't decrease with the market on these phones, cuz then I'd be makin a cool $235 on my S3.. =/ oh well, I'm glad I held out and waited for the Note 3, because it's no fun being "stuck" with a phone that you're really not totally satisfied with 2 years while waiting for that next upgrade...

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] mrmark75:
Crap I originally went to the Verizon store and tried to have them process my order with the verizon30 code but it did not work. It said the code was valid but would take no money off the price of the phone. So I said screw it I will do it from home. I tried for 2 hours to get the website to let me pick it up at the store but it kept failing at address validation. Was on the phone WITH CSR for over an hour and they could not figure it out. We tried like 5 different addresses and it kept failing. Finally got my order to go through but had to have it shipped to my house. Needless to say I paid $210 so I'm happy but sure would have been cool to get it cheaper.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Gvaz:
I bought it yesterday and traded in my SGS3 32gb then. I think the difference is that yours was Verizon and mine was uscellular, though the actual parts are 100% the same.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] nila@ufl.edu:
Anyone have any luck with the $90 purchase on a business account?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] muzhik:
It's almost like they're doing this on purpose to get new 2year contracts in place... LOL

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] dxjay:
so upon reading this thread after i paid 300$ for my note 3 i went opened another line and tried it with success!!! so i returned the first one i got took the 35$ charge and ended up winning back 200 $ :) thanks a bunch guys!

oh and just an update:

verizon has canceled the code so it no longer works
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] ripster:
The sales guy forgot to give me the paper receipt so I looked on My Verizon. I paid $89 for the phone. $30 to activate and $12.99 for screen protectors. Nice!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] dk0r:
This did not work for me. First I went to the stores main customer service and asked if the manager could price match the Note 3 with the receipts I printed off from this thread. Customer service told me that the store manager was willing to do it but it would have to be cleared through the mobile manager as they are a somehow a separate department. The mobile manager looked up this receipt in their database and did not know how such a good deal was obtained. Regardless, he would not give me the deal and said that a receipt from another Best Buy does not fall under Best Buy price match policy. However, he did leave me with the official duplicate of the receipt he printed off and so I am going to try and see if Staples, Walmart or Radioshack will price match this receipt.

Try yourself and see; maybe you'll get lucky.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Gvaz:
Uhh yes price match does as long as the other store shows up in our system with a lower price. I work at bestbuy. Read the policy it's public info at any bestbuy
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] andrewdoc21:
So in theory, I could just go in there with the invoice number posted earlier to Best Buy, and they would have to honor that price for me as well?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] RiotShooter:
Did not work for me. They wanted to see a flyer or ad with that price. :(
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Gvaz:
If you bought it at one best buy, and then noticed another best buy selling something for cheaper, bring in your reciepts and they can do an adjustment to it.

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Global/Low-Price-Guarantee/pcmcat290300050002.c?id=pcmcat290300050002

As long as it doesn't fall under those other things, you're good. If it doesn't and they refuse to honor you, then that manager doesn't know ****.

ways this wouldn't work:

-verizon30 code getting the phone for cheap wont work

-buying it off craigslist

-buying it off a third party on a major retailer's marketplace

-coupons to bring down the price, pricing errors, shelf displays of deleted items, mail in rebate reductions, etc
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] andrewdoc21:
my local BB did not give me the deal based solely on the receipt :(
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] BeansTown106:
how do u know they cancelled the code? im gonna go return my htc one and see if i can still use the code if not i will just buy it i guess for 300 :/ mehh
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] dxjay:
i tried it again for my gf to get one and no dice i called and everything and they didnt let me it was "cancelled or expired." my guess is they caught on

and also beans please dont leave galaxy note line i LOVED your rom on the note 2 only rom that had everything i was looking for :) cheers!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] BeansTown106:
no worries sitting on my retail helping beta some goodness for this note3 cross dem fingers lol!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] dxjay:
double crossing them lol! my body is ready for the jelly bean goodness!! lmao also id be more then honored to do any testing for you ^.^
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] jbxr1992:
i can't find the receipt that was posted earlier in the thread, did it get removed ?

Hi all,

Used to using my old Jornada and that had an easy way of finding current programs that where running and close one or all - the Wizzrds a pain for this as you have to go to the settings screen etc rather than the main menu..... any one got any suggestions of a good today plugin or other prog ?

Thanks in advance ( sorry I'm asking so many questions - hopfully I will be up to speed soon and help others out my self )

XBAR2!!

http://xetranet.free.fr/xbar2/?lang=eng&project=xBar 2&page=Download

Only 50 KB. It will not insinuate in the OS.

It is simple yet the depth of this soft is huge.

Task switcher, task killer, launcher you can manipulate it fully from Dpad thus it is well done for one handed operations. Just give it a try.

There is also GSP Pocket Magic

http://www.pocketpcfreeware.com/en/index.php?soft=1276

Both can work together very well as they do not try to interfere with the OS.

I don't use anymore pocket plus and wisbar advance. Too big, too complex (bugs), not fully compatible WM5/Wizard, too many slow downs.

Each time i have a problem I tend to think maybe it is because of wisbar or pocket plus.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] gazzrenn:

That software rocks. Bought it and installed it. Works a Treat!

There is a new version for Xbar:

Xbar3

http://xetranet.free.fr/xbar2/?lang=eng&project=xBar 2

Of course it is not free but it is very cheap and it has some good new features:

- it supports mapping shortcuts to any key of the Wizard and that makes a lot...

- you can launch macros that are now emulating screen clicks.

Like if like me you want to quickly access the quick call list you just make a macro like this:

\Windows\cprog.lnk

xmacro=X200,Y200,D,U,

then I associated to the green key.

Therefore when I press action I call Xbar and when I click green key it lauches the macro and i go directly to my quick call list.

2 clicks.

One hand.

Possibilities are endless.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] dfc-neo:
I got another idea.

I sync my XDA over Bluetooth. But if I don't switch BT off after synchronizing the battery empties too fast.

Maybe you could write a script that starts BT every hour or so, starts and connects ActiveSync, waits for the synchronisation and closes again. That would be really helpfull
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drroid:
Okay guys, I want to see if this is normal or its a product of my doing.

Basically when in recovery everything works fine but the weird thing is flashing/backup/wiping anything takes extremely long. Wiping dalvik/cache and data takes 10 minutes instead of where it used to be a few seconds. Flashing a rom takes over that 10 minutes...its just strange.

On every other phone TWRP has been a minimal amount of time to do anything. Just figured I'd ask to see if anyone has these issues as well.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omnia38:
Mines behaves the same way...I too wonder if it is normal,
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drroid:
I wonder if its just because its new an in upcoming versions maybe it will be updated. Last night I went from 35% batter to 20% and all I did was wipe the phone and flash one ROM.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fettfan:
I'm new to this so please speak slowly.

I rooted and installed CM10.1 on my son's Galaxy Tab 2 7". We were having an issue and I accidentally updated from 10.1 to a 10.2 nightly. After that I lost Google Play Store. I tried to re-flash the GAPPS (for 10.2) but I get the Failed to verify whole-file signature error.

After some online investigating (remember, I'm a noob, so there is a whole new vocabulary I'm trying to decipher) it sounds like I need to reinstall the kernel?!?!

1. Is this true?

2. Where do I find the kernel for a p3113 tab?

3. Do I flash through Odin or recovery?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fettfan:
Yes, you did help. I was able to get Rom Manager re-installed (don't even know how I lost that) and clockwork mod. Re-installed 10.1 and then I was able to boot to recovery and re-flash the GAPPS. Fantastic! Thanks a lot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Epsilon50:
Hey guys so i havent seen a updated 2013 hard brick solution. I hard bricked my phone trying to install the APOK rom, mistakenly i installed a international versoin on a sch-i535. No button combinations works, wont turn on, can boot to any mode. Only thing that shows life is a little sound when u plug it into the computer. Odin doesnt detecting. Anywho any options besides jtag
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Try this out and follow the instructions exactly as they are given. Quite a few have had success already with it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Epsilon50:
Thanks, i found this video before i posted in case it didnt work. Only a few more minutes left, hopefully it works
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Epsilon50:
mannn didnt work. wont even turn on..

On the bright side you have a new paper weight:good:.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
You did that via Linux right? And did you use a class 10 microsd card with the same GB size as your phone? It took some people multiple tries to get it to work. Maybe you can ask or pm nconfer13, Cnexus, or edfunkycold and see what they say.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Epsilon50:
nc did it with windows 8.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jmxc23:
It is meant to work on Linux which you can dual boot to your computer.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Epsilon50:
im not to fimiliar with linux :( is there a trusted site for me to get it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Epsilon50:
so do i just dual boot and write the disk image again? I wasnt able to find where he was talking about linux and how to use it. Can you direct me to the page number?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
According to [MENTION=4828465]Sandman-007[/MENTION] over in this thread, Ubuntu is popular. The link above is actually another thread where a user is in the same situation as you.

Edit: this is the Sprint GSIII thread that has additional information about this unbrick method. There's not a more clearly defined list of directions anywhere else.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jmxc23:
I will also add the link to Ubuntu OS and here it is: Ubuntu .
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Epsilon50:
So essentially the only difference is im using linux to write the debrick image to the sd card where as the other method was to use windows32 to write the image onto the sd?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
From what little I understand of it, the entire process needs to be done via Linux. I couldn't begin to explain why you need Linux since there's only the info from both threads to go on. However, following all steps through Linux works.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Epsilon50:
alright, well i got unbuntu to dual boot late last night. Ill try this method today and hopefully it all goes well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jmxc23:
Well Android is technically a mobile version of Linux and the process uses the terminal app built in all Linux OS which the terminal app for Android is emulating.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
I guess what looks weird to me is that it just looks like you're running ADB commands. It's all good that it works on Linux, its just that there's little documentation already so from outside looking in, I can't see what is Linux specific.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Epsilon50:
God damnn it just my luck. When ever i put my sd card into my adpater unbuntu goes into a black screen saying, could not write bytes: broken pipe. Checking battery state and i cant do anything. The sd card is completely nothing on it.

okay so i got over that by fixing the timing. Anywho in step one after doing the sudo thing i dont see my sd with a letter next to it. only numbers such as sdc1 and so on...

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] modoggs:
Hey so I used rumrunner and got all the goodies and installed the beanstalk CM based ROM which I'm loving so far. The problem is I wanted to flash a new splash screen so I connected the One to my PC and it won't recognize like it did on the stock ROM. I tried on my laptop as well with the same problem (phone will charge but no USB mass storage or ADB). I went into developer options and made sure that USB debugging was ticked with no avail. I also did the basic stuff like reboot my pc and used a different cable. ADB is definitely installed on my desktop because rumrunner worked with no problems so I'm not sure if it's this specific ROM or something that I need to work out in the settings or recovery (which I'm not very used to coming from the OG razr with an sd). I looked everywhere in the HTC forums and couldn't find a topic about this for the One. Also I tried to post this issue in the beanstalk ROM thread but it wouldn't let me post because I have too few total posts. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] bdelcamp:
That was actually my problem. UNchecked debugging and now it mounts perfect
