Please correct me if I am wrong. I read that Verizon 4G phones come unlocked and that I can use a Verizon LG G2 on another carrier. So can I buy this phone from Verizon (for free) and then just pay the ETF and go use it on TMobile?

Please advise me on such a strategy. Thanks.
[Verizon LG G2] MicroMod777:
Code don't work for free. Got it for $49
[Verizon LG G2] asianflavor:
I did the VZWDEAL and got the phone for free. DL also posted the SLICK50 will get the phone for free also.
[Verizon LG G2] Rodeojones:
Another Verizon tip. If you're upgrading from a previously unlimited data line to 2GB of data, ask about Verizon Max (might be spelled Maxx). You get 6GB of data for the 2GB price. Got it for both mine and my wife's phone (that's 6GB per phone, not shared between the two of us). I had to call the customer support line as the store guys didn't know about it (3rd party vendor), and you'll need to go through a verification process that takes a couple days. But once done you'll have 6GB of data for $30 per month.
[Verizon LG G2] MicroMod777:
Tried both codes on my second like and no discount. Odd. $49 is still a sweet deal.

Good news: My G2 that I ordered from Amazon shows shipped for the low price of $225 with next day shipping!!!

Bad news: A lot of people seem to think Amazon will recall the shipped orders. :(
[Verizon LG G2] ars0n:
They will price match. I called verizon to get a refund. Just bought the phone on monday..

If they try to give you ****, you have 14 days to return the phone.

Return your phone. Then say, you know what, Id like to get that phone again.. =D bam..

but seriously, they should be able to knock it down or give you credit.
[Verizon LG G2] Steamer86:
Verizon guarantees price match within 14 days of activating. I paid 200, got the 50$ off last week, just missed the other 100$ and 50 with code. So, I paid 150.
[Verizon LG G2] djarmin76:
I paid 100 for the phone before getting the price adjustment. I would have paid 150 for this phone without hesitation.
[Verizon LG G2] EniGmA1987:
They cant, by law Amazon must honor the price advertised. If you were already charged and it shipped then there is nothing Amazon can do about it except fire the person who put the price in wrong.
[Verizon LG G2] 93fuelslut:
How long is shipping from vzw
[Verizon LG G2] shook187:
What law is this? Amazon could do as they please.
[Verizon LG G2] djarmin76:
I was given 2-3 days but i chose the in store pickup option
[Verizon LG G2] EniGmA1987:
Maybe where you live. Many places have laws about advertising or showing one price and then not honoring that price.
[Verizon LG G2] shook187:
If you read it currently, it clearly states they're not allowed to "CHARGE" you more than the advertised price.

Well in this case they just won't "CHARGE" more then the advertised price, they'll issue a refund and cancel your order.
[Verizon LG G2] asianflavor:
Sorry that you didn't get the coupon deal. $49 is still a great deal. That what peak my interest on this phone.
[Verizon LG G2] marleyinoc:
I paid nearly full price on this phone and then broke it. Paid deductible and thankfully got new replacement.

Worth every penny.

Did the $199 off contact make me twinge? Yes. Was I glad to see it was a mistake? Sure, but by then I'd already thought about it and was fine with my decision. Do I want you guys to get the deal if you purchased? Yes. Do I think Amazon has to fulfill your order? No. Why? Because there are tons of TOS that you sign when creating an account (if you created an account which I'm not sure to do otherwise is even an option anymore).

Of course they're going to protect themselves from electronic and user error. You have to understand that.

That said, fulfilling these orders is an awesome way to keep people tuned in and ready to buy. Honoring the sales would probably be cheap marketing.
[Verizon LG G2] jadams161:
I just upgraded a family share line, (moms) and got the G2 for FREE after using code slick50. Not bad. Still had to pay the dam $30 "upgrade" fee, but either way I am happy. Now I can activate it on my line and stop using my GS3 with a cracked screen.
[Verizon LG G2] sdsubball23:
Does anyone know of any way to get it at the $49 price or $0 with code without having to pay a California sales tax on the unsubsidized cost of the phone?
[Verizon LG G2] hkpatel08:
Verizon refunded the money since I was within the 14 day period. Returned my note 3 the week before. The G2 is a great phone for $49.
[Verizon LG G2] MicroMod777:
Ship to a state that has no sales tax.
[Verizon LG G2] djarmin76:
Has anyone been to a Verizon store and seen this offer? Is it an online only deal? I went to the store I initially picked up my phone at to see the phone was still going for $149
[Verizon LG G2] 93fuelslut:
I got stuck with the 30$ upgrade fee. So 30$ out of pocket

sent from your moms phone
[Verizon LG G2] crashN2u:
There is fine print protecting companies, especially online, from pricing errors. They have the right to cancel the order, which is why it was odd that Verizon let all those upgrades go through a while back.
[Verizon LG G2] jkloeker:
Delivered today!!!
[Verizon LG G2] blocatan:
I can confirm mine is on its way and my friend at work got his Note 3 and S4 today. One hell of a deal.

[Verizon LG G2] tacosrdelicioso:
Hey guys. So. I am on a vz gnex right now with unlimited data. I want to do this upgrade. Maybe I can upgrade a different line then swap it to my line after a bit? So I can keep my unlimited?

Just by simply swapping the sims?

Hi all. Just got this phone yesterday at Best Buy, priced match the $50 from Verizon. I come from the note 2 (loved it) and now this is my first LG phone. And so far so good. Really digging how snappy this is!

So I'm looking into rooting this phone. Is there any guide or video any of you recommend? Appreciate any info.

Looking forward to see what this phone can do!
[Verizon LG G2] _DiGiTaL_:
I got my LG G2 on the 5th of this month after ordering the upgrade 1st. On vzw.com it said $149.99 + $30 upgrade fee. So today I find out about this deal and I call Verizon I talk to a really good customer service rep. He credits me $100 so that is awesome! I think anyone who ordered the phone recently should call them and get their credit! :D
[Verizon LG G2] Rodeojones:
How much data do you usually use each month? I ask because I, too, am a former Verizon GNex user and I was very apprehensive about losing unlimited data. I was afraid that without serious data monitoring I'd blow through my 2GB (4-5GB was not unusual for me). I did it anyway since I needed a new phone desperately. Got it two weeks ago. Then the other day I read about a 6GB promo Verizon was offering to former unlimited customers who recently upgraded. I called customer service and asked about it. After a couple minutes of verifying that my and my wife's lines were eligible we now have 6GB of data per line for the 2GB price of $30 per month. And this is a lifetime deal. It won't expire when we renew again in two years. The deal is called Verizon Max if you're interested in calling them about it.
[Verizon LG G2] kurtpete:
Just a quick note to anyone calling in and requesting a $100 credit...

I ordered my phone on 11/3 ($149 - $50 coupon) and received it on 11/6. Upon receiving it, I saw the price was now $49 and called in requesting a $100 credit. I was told I received the credit. Got my bill today, and there was only a $49.99 credit applied.

After several chats with reps today, I now have the full $100 credit. Part of the issue seems to stem from the fact that the phone is actually $99 in their system (with a $50 instant rebate). They kept telling me I needed to submit a rebate for the additional $50. My persistence paid off, though... ;)

Hopefully, this doesn't happen with everyone, and I was an isolated case. Anyway, just make sure and check your bill when you get it.
[Verizon LG G2] tacosrdelicioso:
Lol...I use lots. Sometimes over 20... I've been in the forties. I just upgraded another line and I'll device swap when it arrives. I need my data
[Verizon LG G2] Rodeojones:
Wow. And Verizon said I'm a heavy user when I called about the deal. I wonder what they'd call you.
[Verizon LG G2] garywojdan81:

It goes off sale today so print out the price. I read it will go back on later this week when the white version is released.
[Verizon LG G2] djarmin76:
Do you have a link to the article about the sale going back on when the white version is released? I tried to get my roommate to get this deal, and he procrastinated too much and now the vzw website is showing the LG G2 temporarily out of stock.

[Verizon LG G2] ktsung:
Verizon failed to honor VZWDEAL promotion

I ordered an LG G2 through vzw.com on November 11. The price on that day was $99.99, with a $99.99 discount from the VZWDEAL code. So I was only supposed to pay a $30 upgrade fee plus taxes.

I selected in-store pickup, and I got an email from Verizon confirming the price, and instructing me to pick up the phone any time in the next 4 days.

I went to the store the next day, and they were unable to fulfill my order. There was a problem with their computer system, which was caused by the fact that the promotion had expired the day before.

I spoke at length with the store manager, Verizon customer service, and the Verizon Internet sales department. Basically, they all told me that the offer has expired, and I now have to pay the current price ($99) for the phone.

Does this seem fair to anyone? I think this is very poor customer service, to say the least!
[Verizon LG G2] marleyinoc:
Yes it's unfair. Don't ask us, call them and get it fixed.

There is new deal now where folks can buy at $49.99 again as I understand it.

Hey guys,

does anyone of you know a note app with auto-convert function? With the s note I have to switch all the time between text and formula (e.g. in mathematics and physics while writting down some equations) - or is the function hidden somewhere in the app? xD

Thank you ;)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] courtn00b:
This is the main reason I returned my Note2014. The older S Note app was far superior for Math/ Physics input (which I am studying). I returned it and got a Note 8 instead. Keeping an eye out for if they port the old S Note app or if Samsung releases update before I buy again :(

The only way I know for the new versions is to 'lasso' / use selection tool then convert. Way too many steps to input a lot of equations.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] C2Q:
Chrome is good because it lets me sync all my desktop history/bookmarks/tabs onto it. But it lacks in speed/features compared to other browsers.

I'm using Next browser right now and it's blazing fast compared to chrome. It also has flash capability. But it lacks the ability to sync all my desktop chrome history etc. Also it doesn't block ads with AdBlock plus as well as Chrome does. Looking for a browser that has all of these if possible.

dolphin browser seems to fit the bill for me :) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.mgeek.TunnyBrowser
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] RTbar:
dolphin syncs bookmarks and history from both firefox and desktop chrome simultaneously, and it supports flash. i think Boat browser and UC Browser HD have some type of bookmark sync as well with flash. I personally use Dolphin as my daily driver, and UC Browser because it has an inverted text nightmode plus a cool fullscreen widget

BTW Next browser DOES sync with chrome, at least bookmarks
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] guthrien:
My 2 favorites are the AOSP Browser with built in chromesync (search the store for the installer), and Browser NBPro for it's blazing speed and understated features.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] KobrakaiMM:
Next Browser

My favorite browser is the Next Browser. It runs fast and stable for me. Also has some extensions and works with a Chrome extension called "Next Sync Plus". My browser of choice even though I tried almost all of them. I say, stick with it.

To clarify a bit more, you need the Chrome extension to sync.

"With Next Browser Sync Plus, you can sync bookmarks directly to your mobile devices in Next Browser."
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] C2Q:
I'm aware that next browser syncs with chrome. I want something that can also sync my chrome history because I use that more on chrome than my actual bookmarks :)

Anyway tried out dolphin and its good, but it's basically the same thing as next browser.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] RTbar:
it also does sync your open tabs which i dont think Next does
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] KobrakaiMM:
As far as I know only Chrome syncs everything. Don't think there's an Api for things like the open tabs. Like I said, I used almost all the browsers and Next seems to be the best one. The browser with the best compatability is Chrome. Those are both options you're not looking for, but I personally can't find the perfect browser. So I guess I can't be of any help.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] MW5050:
For all in one purposes I use the torch browser since it functions as a chromium based browser, but has a bunch of preset extensions for site unblocking and downloading videos and other content.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] lecorbusier:
Is there a browser with an internal flash player, as Adobe's gets less and less useable w/o updates?

Apart from the flash issue, im happy with Dolphin. But on the Note lots of Dolphin's plugins disappear from within the app, once their launcher icons get deleted. They will also not show in the drawer, but are still installed.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] DeBoX:
Any other browsers (besides Boat) with floating capability? ie. for multiwindow browsing.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] vincey2kr1:
Do you use cache to sd setting on boat browser?.l don't see a difference.

Any way to import bookmarks from chrome to boat browser ?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] TEK112:
My vote is chrome or chrome beta. The seemless integration is key for me. I know what windows I have up on all devices running chrome and can with one click get access to the same content. Plus, I don't have to mess with bookmarks as one change on any device changes them all.

The only downfall is flash, for that I use the built in browser. As each day goes by it becomes less of an issue. Mainly download sites are affected.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] Android.Ninja:
+1 on Boat Browser. It is extremely quick and insanely responsive.

Solution to bookmark import from chrome to boat

Had a chat with the lads behind the boat browser and well, got some good and some bad news. The good ist that there is a way to "sync" the two, the bad is that it's not that easy or direct.

They are working on an more stable solution, but for now

Chrome doesn't open the related API on mobile,

Now,here is a solution:

1. sync bookmarks between chrome PC version and mobile version

2. export bookmarks as HTML file via Chrome PC version

3. copy the html file to your mobile

4. launch Boat, press star icon to enter bookmark page

5.press sync icon (near the trash icon, with two reversed arrow) , then select Restore tab to restore the html file to boat browser.

Hopes this helps :)

what browsers have ad-blocking capabilities with add-ons like Firefox or is it only Firefox?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] C2Q:
For now it seems my solution is to use multiple browsers depending on what I want to do.

Kinda annoying but it's the best solution at the moment for me. For flash video streaming I use Firefox mainly because of the adblock add on, removes a ton of the plastered ads on streaming sides.

Chrome/Dolphin for general browsing, but looking for a faster option for general browsing because Chrome is stupidly slow compared to Dolphin, but for some reason Adblock doesn't work on Dolphin after their update about a month ago, but works on Chrome. So weird. If Dolphin/Boat or whatever other browser managed to get Adblock working it would be my choice for all in one.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] leonbarroso:
FIREFOX

fullscreen

adblock and other extensions

reader mode

very fast on newer devices like this one
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] :
I anyone ask me. I'll say Uc is the best
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] calebcabob:
Agreed! I was waiting for someone to mention it. I'm really liking the tablet HD version. I've probably tried them all and Boat is fast, smart and definitely lighter on memory than Chrome, Firefox, Dolphin, and Next.

Honorable mention: Maxthon! :) ...Also great.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] shoon85:
Try Lastpass bookmarket with any other browser

Lastpass is awesome, but i don't like dolphin. So, I use bookmarklet for using LastPass. If you added this bookmarket as a gesture or a tool button, you can use LastPass auto-completion or auto-login by only one click or gesture. I think this method is not good as Dolphin addon, but this method is almost perfect and free!

BEST BROWSER FOR ANDROID: Habit Browser! Configure EVERYTHING like you want. Period. Done. That's it. Finish. The one.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] clouds5:
I agree completely. But the performance went down a little with 4.4 and flash no longer works. It does that thing that a lot of browsers do, it somehow can't hold the whole page in ram. At least that is what it looks like to me. When you scroll down a page quickly everything is gets blurry and it takes a second to render stuff. Then when you scroll up again the top is blurry. And that whole rendering process makes stuff kinda laggy and glitchy. This only started with 4.4 with habit browser. So I guess they need to update something.

Btw: worst at this is Firefox. Go to a big Webpage and scroll down fast. It can take up to 10s just to render that page after scrolling...

So I switched to UC browser until habit gets updated :)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] dougiefresh181:
im really in love with uc browser hd. it seems to be the only version that supports desktop mode though, so i cant really use it on my phone. i find myself using that quite often. i tried firefox and it was meh. i never really cared for dolphin, it never really seemed finished to me and was slow. opera works pretty well but doesnt have desktop mode. i dont like how maxthon or boat look
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] wingdo:
I am really starting to like FlashFox. It seems to have the least issues of all the browsers in desktop mode. It is a RAM hog, but we have plenty of memory on these beasts.

For a few items I still use Dolphin.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] clouds5:
I like everything about fire/flashfox. But they are by far the slowest browsers in the market. If you scroll fast on a big page it takes up to 10s till the new part of the screen is fully loaded/rendered. Scrolling is kinda laggy too...

I really don't understand how a lot of browsers are still kinda jerky and laggy on such a high end device. UC browser has lots of animations and gestures (even flash support for 4.4) and is 100% smooth (iPad smooth). While other more basic browsers lag like hell. It's just weird.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] wingdo:
Yeah, I agree it's the slowest I use. That said, there are some websites only it and Chrome render correctly, and I don't use Chrome on Android since there is no flash support.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] clouds5:
I know that's why I have it installed on my tablet as well :) but I finally want to choose my browser because of the interface and extra features but there are a lot of very interesting browsers with ingenious ideas that are just unusable because they just aren't smooth.
