[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Gwanatu:
So on the Note 2 there was a nice macro mode that let you get super close to objects and gave you the full detail. While the Note 3 appears to have an auto macro mode, it doesn't let you get as close to subjects as the Note 2 did. I held them both together and tried to focus at the same spot, the Note 2 did it the first time whereas the Note 3 took 3 different times to finally focus in, and that was only because I pulled the phone back about half an inch. While it's not entirely a deal breaker, there's got to be a way to force this thing to shoot closer. Any ideas or suggestions?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] aooga:

I haven't found any settings that let you do this. For now, I'm just using a custom camera app.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Gwanatu:
Does macro mode work better on that? If so what's the app?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] aooga:
I'm using Zoom Camera (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ar.com.moula.zoomcamera)

but there a a bunch of others in the play store. Just try them and see which one works best for you.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] congusto:
Snap Camera HDR also does the trick.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] circuit.007:
So I just checked my account and found out I am signed up for jump protection. When I bought my note 3 she asked me if I wanted to sign up and I specifically said no. I bought my phone outright full price. If I hadn't checked today I would have been paying for it. I'm going to call the store later today or tomorrow. What should I say and demand
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] johnomaz:
It could have been a mistake. Its probably a check box when you sign up. IMO, tell them to take it off and ensure you aren't charged for it on your bill. If you have payed for it at any point, get a credit. These are high school grads here usually with their first job that has actual responsibility. I don't keep my expectations too high.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kuroy301:
My salesperson explain to me that for the protection of the phone and peace of mind. Insurance to be exact...but he also told me that you can cancel it anytime online...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] circuit.007:
Yes I can cancel it online but why was it on there. She repeatedly tried to tell me to get it and I said no. So I don't know if it was a mistake or if it was on purpose. Should I demand anything or just get it off and not make big deal.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] @rbiter:
Just get it off. If you're really that butt hurt complain to the manager. The manager might be shady and tell their employees to do it.

Sent from my SM900T.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] djtheraven:
They did the same to me. .. Just got the text that I had it and I told them no. ...I put half down and over the next 4 months I'll pay it off. ..I mean this is the best phone and the note 4 won't be out for a year from now so I don't need the jump either. ..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] DandroidT:
My sale man said that the system automatically add Jump to new phone purchase and the first month is free, if I don't want it then I can cancel anytime within 30 days.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jhobert:
It happens to me too. I just asked the sales rep what does the jump thing means and what does it do, alas! Already added on my account, but when I went back to the store to replace the phone I told them about the jump added on my account and I do t want it they took it off my account right away no questions asked. Jump is not mandatory ots just added benefits if there is to those people whose buying their phone on monthly basis payment. Hope this helps.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] appan:
Its no Mistake, T-mobile reps get Commission pay for signing people up for Jump, I went through this same, I specifically told the Girl, i DO NOT want the Jump, then she made a comment " well its required with the note 3 when buying " so i told, thats BS (in a funny manner ) and told, i know how this works, i worked for a phone company then she laughed. If the rep get u signed up for Jump its an additional bonus they recives when they get the commission check. So if you do not want the Jump, REFUSE it, they even demand it, its required for Note 3. dont fall for that BS.

hope this helps :cool:

FYI, i did signed up for the Jump after 10 days, because i later found out that, note 3 have lot of faulty issues, including freezes, crashes and touch issues, since spending $700 bucks and being a phone fanatic who changes phone every 3 month, this move seems like a good idea,
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] decalex:
PSA and Fyi, if you have insurance on the device without jump, it's $11.99/mo

If you have jump, which includes insurance, it's $10/mo

I almost never opt for insurance on anything, but I think it's usually a good deal (temporarily, at least) to have it on a $700 phone.

The reps make very little on jump incentives. It's more about quotas and there's ridiculous pressure to be above 80ish percent (e.g. they can be written up for having a low %)

That's not our problem though. However, I'd recommend getting it, and cancel if you don't want it a asap. Keep in mind, phone payments don't start for 2 months.

Either way, the main acct holder will always receive a text if it's added, so keep an eye on that if a rep is shady.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] IRIE4IPIER:
What are you gonna demand? It was a mistake, and if it wasn't, worse things happen in the world. Absolutely hated customers like you when I worked in this field long ago.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kabuk1:
This. Jump is a great deal IMO, insurance for $1.99 LESS per month even if you don't want to use the upgrade option.

Either way OP, if you don't want it just call and have them take it off or go online & remove it yourself. Don't "demand" anything, you're not suffering any ill effects because you accidentally got signed up for Jump. Don't be that guy who storms into the store demanding recompense for a simple mistake.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] EasyE75:
Oh yeah those reps will rip you off. Ever since they did that to me, I do all my changes online and print them just in case.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Prod1702:
These kind of comments should be kept to your self. Most of the people that work for T-Mobile are not just high school grads. I have a 4 year college degree in Law Enforcement and am unable to find a job right now. I also work as a T-Mo RSA in a Corp store. Yes it is a check box and also you have to get 90% of all customer you help to get jump or you get fired after 3 months. So keep your crap ass comments to your self. No one wants to hear it here.

Yup the I work in a T-Mo Corp Store as a RSA. Because of how much my manger is pushed to get jump on accounts. We have to get 90% of all the customers that buy phones to get jump or we lose our jobs after 3 months if we are under 90%. Some mangers will tell reps to put it on for a month and the manger will credit it after month is over. The system still sees it has a add and the rep is safe. This is how bad T-Mobile is now when it comes to stuff.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] SeenNotScene:
I also work for T-Mo and he's right, our goal is 90% of any phones sold, but only for customers doing an EIP (payment plan). JUMP is $10/month and along with insurance bundled in (lost, stolen, physical, liquid damage) it also allows you to trade in the phone after six months, wiping away anything you still own on it, and making a new down payment on a different phone. You can do that twice per year after the first six months. If you plan on keeping your phone and paying it off, standard insurance without the JUMP will cost you $8/month. Just FYI :D Shady sales people are in many industries, so please don't assume every cell phone sales person is out to get you. If you leave the store not understanding everything you have signed, you don't have anyone to blame but yourself. At my store you have to sign a form that says you are enrolling in JUMP, not sure if every store has those though. That being said I do highly recommend insurance for this $800 phone. If something happens to it, $175 deductible is way better/cheaper than repairing costs or re-buying the device.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] grenademasta:
You should go to the store and complain to the manager. When I bought my Samsung Galaxy S4 phone at full price, I specifically told the sales rep "I don't want insurance". The next day I get a text saying that my contract changes have been made. When I checked my account, it showed insurance. This pissed me off that they try to slip in insurance or other option just to get commission out of you. Next time before I leave the store, I will have them write out with a pen on the receipt "no insurance or other paid options or changes to the contract" and then have them sign their name and date it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] arctic84:
Could someone tell me where it would state "Jump" on the bill? I've been looking my bill over and I can't seem to find my insurance coverage or jump.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] XxLostSoulxX:
Dude its 8$ for premium which covers everything pretty much jump adds 2$. We're you getting 12$ from.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] aooga:
Thats what I dont understand. Does the 6 months start from that time, or the time I got my phone?

---------- Post added at 09:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:57 AM ----------

Log into my Tmobile online, then click on plans. You should see this.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] zachary.hilliker:
The 6 months starts from when you add jump. After that 6 months you can do it twice a year with no wait beyond that initial 6 months as long as you don't remove jump
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] aooga:
Thanks, thats cool then. I would only be paying the payments starting from DEC., so I really would only be paying ~$160 for this phone, until I upgrade to a new one in April.

EDIT: I dont know what happened to the "Thanks" button so I cant give you one :confused:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] zachary.hilliker:
Exactly, For someone who tends to want a new phone all the time it's a no brainer. Basically leasing a phone for the cost of the down payment and 4 monthly payments
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] wiimonkey9:
Same thing happened here, even though I specifically told them that I didn't want it. Unless you want insurance, Jump is a ripoff to consumers 99% of the time. It is better to simply sell your phone yourself on craigslist when you are done with it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] circuit.007:
To clarify things I bought my phone for full price. I paid $700 plus taxes for the phone. It's mine I own it and don't owe anything. So jump is useless to me. I can "jump" whenever I want since I don't owe anything.

Now the insurance part is debatable. It might be worth to some of you. But I didn't want it. Yes if it broke it is entirely my fault nobody to blame. But that's on me. I'm taking the risk.

When I went to check out she asked if I wanted jump and I said no. She then proceeded to tell me the benefits of the insurance that comes with it. I told her no I didn't want it. I'm taking the risk. She said r u sure and I said I don't want it. So when I found out it was on there yes I was mad or "but hurt". So that's why I said should I demand something. I wanted justice. Yes I can just cancel it and I wasn't charged yet. Not a big deal. First world problems bla bla whatever. I was mad.

Now it could of been a mistake or she could of been trying to get that extra commission. Or it could of been her shady manager. When knows .

I called and asked to speak with her but she was not working at that time. I would of just gone to store but it was not a store that was near me. So I told the other rep what happened. And said is that what you do force jump plans on people even when I specifically said no. She said no she didn't know what happened. Not to make big deal, I just said it must of been a mistake but could you mention to the manager this happened and be more careful on adding jump plans. Thats it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] arctic84:
So if i'm going to keep insurance changing to Jump is a better idea no? Also it's $2 cheaper a month..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] XxLostSoulxX:
Good god, every person think its less, it isnt. Jump is the most expensive regular premium insurance is only 8$ Jump is 10$.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] dwitherell:
To be fair, there is an $11.99 insurance that was there pre-Jump. They (whoever TMo goes through) raised the price for certain high end phones (read: most expensive) - sometime in March I think. The Note 2 fell into the new price category, and I imagine the same logic fits for the Note 3 to do the same.

To your point, my wife has a Samsung Blaze, and the offered premium insurance is indeed $8. It's just the Note series (and others perhaps) get charged a bit more.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] XxLostSoulxX:
no because i have the Note 3 and i only pay 8$ for insurance they changed the prices.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] dwitherell:
Well perhaps T-Mobile is not making it known that they have changed the structure of things again, leaving people that had the Note 2 and previously set up with the $11.99 plan alone to maybe incentivize those folks to move to the JUMP program...? For the sake of thoroughness this is what I was referring to regarding the insurance pricing, and while it may no longer be an option to select (why would you really, regardless of what side of the argument you fall on lol) it is still something that may exist grandfathered in on accounts. It seems the arguments here for pricing are now context-specific to the situations leading to the current device, and it's interesting that T-Mobile didn't make salient this change to what was admittedly a pretty recent change in its own right.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] XxLostSoulxX:
See the strange thing is though when I was given a quote last year before I decided to switch to T Mobile they said it was only going to cost $8 for insurance and that was last year. so I don't understand how you got suckered into paying $12 for insurance?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] dwitherell:
Last year it was $8 still for the Note2 (for the bit of last year that the Note2 was out anyway), it didn't go up to $11.99 until this March, and it only went up for those with a Note2. I didn't get anything official from T-Mobile detailing the change until early February I think. If you did nothing to change or remove the coverage the bill just got bumped up $4 in March.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] XxLostSoulxX:
ok i see, we changed to T-Mo after that shenanigans. the was the whole Insurance from every company raising prices Sprint did the exact same thing around that time if im not mistaken because we had been paying 5$ then it jumped to 8$.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] arctic84:
Ah.. yes my PHP dropped back to 8 when i picked up the note
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] thinkjoey:
jump comes with lockout which is really cool too
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] XxLostSoulxX:
I hate lookout mobile security. all it ever does is scan...scan...scan. if you know what you're doing and you're not downloading stupid crap off the internet you won't have a virus or malware or anything like that its pretty much common sense I don't need an application hogging up space and resources.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] thinkjoey:
it is the premium service that I like. The scanning is meh, but the flare/remotely wipe/take pics and send to your email/locate phone via GPS

those are the functions that I like.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] DKYang:
Had that happened to me before. Got on T-Mobile chat and told them to remove. The person I was talking can't read or something because I had to repeat it over and over again. This guy ended up reverting my account back to how it was in the beginning which was annoying since I had to re-add the unlimited data plan. Now I have no idea how my bill is going to be like and hoping it won't be ridiculous.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] zxybabydoll:
I had to add to this, I have Jump. Jump is $10, Which includes insurance and the early replacement for phones. They literally charge 12.99 for JUST the insurance plan for a phone that's paid for fully. Even if you don't want jump but want insurance, then the employee was Hooking you up! I know this because 2 weeks ago, my husband wanted to add Jump to his phone (A Note 2) like I have for my SGS4. TMO told us no because you have to be making monthly payments on your phone to qualify for Jump. And he paid cash up front for his Note 2. We now have Jump for both of us since we both got the AWESOME Note 3! I hope this helps someone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] dragonstalker:
I got the text today and immediately called them. Jump, after the 6 month initial wait, is just for the insurance. After the 6 months, you can trade in whatever you have for the newest thing out without paying the phone off which is part of your contract. Does not affect your data or service plan. It's just the insurance on the phone. SO for example in 6 months, if the galaxy note 4 comes out cause the galaxy note 3 has so many issues ( and we know sammy will release a new phone rather then fix the old one) you can take your phone to the store trade it in, and pay the deposit on the new one.

OR atleast this was how I understood the new insurance plan as it was explained to me. I have $20 unlimited data with an unlimited family everything plan. SO the extra 2 bucks (since i only keep phones a year at the most) is good for me
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] RiffyDivine:
It's 8 dollars for the drop my phone in the ****ty protection plan and at 10 it's jump plus that. All jump is so you can trade the phone in at 6 months if you are stupid. I find the idea behind it to be stupid but I guess a lot of kids will be all about trading in iphones when the find out it's junk after a few months.

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] CounselorMatt:
TWRP Recovery works well. The other day I noticed that on the list of backups I was missing my initial "clean sense rom w/ root" that I made the day I installed custom recovery. I had made 3 other backups and they had vanished. I figured they were accidently deleted. I backed up my device twice within two days. I went to manage my back ups and noticed that my two recent backups were missing and the 3 original backups were on the restore list. I also notice that my storage was low. I had 15 gigs used up. I don't have much media on my phone so I assume its the phantom backups. The TWRP file only has 3 backups on it. those 3 files do not add up to 15 gbs. I can only surmise that I have 6 or so back ups on my phone and only 3 are showing up.

My questions: (1) Does TWRP backup to another folder other than the TWRP file? 2) Can I delete all of them and start all over again?

Thank you for all of your help.

TWRP Not Recognizing Nandroid Backups

Sorry for my characterization of the problem. Essentially TWRP is not recognizing past Nandroid backups. These past nandroid backups are taking up needed space. I downloaded ROM Toolkit and found that I have 7 nandroid back ups, but the TWRP folder only shows 3. Where are these nandroids located on my device? How can I delete them?

I'm sorry to hijack your thread but I have the same dilemma. I made a new backup today and I can't find the files. I browse the phone using ES browser but nothing. I copied my original backups to my computer. In TWRP recovery, I see the two files that I created today. What is the actual process of restoring my phone without copying today backup. Please any suggestion will be gladly appreciated.

Thank you.

Nevermind, I found the solution. The problem is that the ES file explorer does not have root access to /data folder. I enable root access in ES file and there was the following folder: /data/media/twrp.
