no he said they paid it straight to his AT&T account...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] MedicStuder:
Yes

No they applied it to my T-Mobile account rather then sending the MasterCard.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] elosogrande7076:
Ya, I was kind of surprised he did it but was thankful. Not sure if he does it for everyone or just the fact that I was in their the night before and came back with various questions and he wanted to make sure I signed up since I was on the fence
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Limeybastard:
I'd rather have the fees back in my account from where they came from originally.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] rans0m00:
So just a follow up to mine. Just got a confirmation email saying they recieved my etf submission and it can take up to 8 weeks from here. Still untrackable on the website.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mitsueks:
I just submitted mine today too... $1210 for 4 of my 5 lines.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] pdotc:
made the switch

And im happy "Pharell voice" for where i go in NYC speeds are the same if not better.

I bought 2 iPhone 3gs on craigslist for $60 and used those as my trade in phones kept my att note 3 and S4.

Got a email today from ATT saying come back LMAO just send me my ETF bill please lol:D:D:D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Pico:
same here, I wonder how long before we can track it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bobbyhawaii:
Hey everyone just a quick question, I just upgraded two lines from a four line family plan. I got two note 3 and today is the 16th day and I'm pass the return period for these two phone. I'm thinking of taking advantage of this T-mobile plan. Would there be any problems of getting them to pay my ETF? Can I only port two out of the four lines on the account? It would be a sweet deal because I got both note's for $150 and was able to get them unlocked. You guys think there's going to be any problems, hidden fees?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Limeybastard:
2 calendar cycles says t mobile AFAIK.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] rans0m00:
Another follow up. As of today I can track my refund. It says it's being reviewed.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Deathbyillusion:
You can do the the plan where you put only so much down sometimes 0 down and then they add a little bit each month to your T-Mobile bill.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] rans0m00:
Text today saying they received my submission and its being reviewed.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Limeybastard:
Good luck, sorry for sounding skeptical, I am what I am. Remember I will be in the same boat soon myself as I utilized their ETF "deal". I have a feeling they will not pay what they promised.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] rans0m00:
Yep I am just posting as I things change for other people to follow. Doesn't seem to be much said about how long it takes for X to happen so I am.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Limeybastard:
Like yourself I will keep this thread alive once I receive bill and get it paid for. We shall see....

Now don't get me wrong, I will pay att if t mobile takes they're royal time no problem. However, if they mess me up I'm outta here. Testing moment lies ahead.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] atman8r:
Switched from crappy sprint service 2 weeks ago, loving tmobile. Wayyyy better than sprints service here In Tallahassee. And saving 30 a month with no contract! I have a note 3 and a nexus 5 that I switch between, both can use tmos lte. So I'm happy. About to submit my etf bill tomorrow! Made the switch and I'm NOT going back!!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] HipKat:
I left Sprint a year ago after 16 yrs as a customer JUST for those reasons. In Peoria, the "Largest wireless carrier in America" is the ONLY Carrier that doesn't offer 4G/LTE and my 3G speeds were ridiculous. Less than 25k d/l.

I'm heading to the T-Mobile store Tuesday to see how reception , etc is around here and if it's good, I;m SO doing this.

US Cellular is cool, but it'll be nice to be back on XDA, since there are no USCC devices supported here
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Limeybastard:
Seems my paranoid conscience was correct. Seems like by trading in three dumb phones I will only be getting back a set amount of my ETF from T Mobile and not my true amount on my final bill - Sad . Looks like I will be swallowing a lot of the $999 final bill for my previous three lines from ATT.

It clearly says the following:

The amount paid will not be more than the ETF amount the customers’ previous carriers charge for the type of device traded-in
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] rans0m00:
So the wording isn't so clear to me. Are you saying they are not giving you the standard 250 per line etf money? The device trade in was extra from my understanding.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Limeybastard:
I do not think anyone including myself has received the Mastercard from T Mobile to verify. All I know is that they changed their verbiage on the FAQ. Also, the flyer I received from the store when I made the switch did not mention anything about ETF value being dependent on if the trade in is a dumb phone or a smart phone and more importantly the store rep made no mention of it either when I asked fully about the conditions to fulfill this request. There is also a good thread on slickdeals about this, which has a few others concerned.

http://slickdeals.net/f/6579830-t-m...tomers-early-termination-fees-in-2014?page=99

copied and pasted ..

The original FAQ said this on January 9th, 2014:

Customers from the three largest national wireless carriers (i.e., AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint) can trade-in their working phones and tablets at any participating T-Mobile location, switch their numbers over and receive a credit, based on the value of their device, which can be used towards a new device purchase. The maximum trade-in value for devices is $300 per line. When a customer gets their final bill from their previous carrier stating their ETF amounts and sends it to T-Mobile, they receive a prepaid MasterCard card equal to their ETF, with up to $350 per line, within 8 weeks. The maximum payout per line would be up to $650.

Then on January 17 or 18th, 2014 it changed to:

Customers currently under contract with another carrier are eligible for up to $650 per line (up to 5 lines). It’s two simple steps.

When porting their number they can trade-in their working phones and tablets at any participating T-Mobile location and receive a credit up to $300 per device, which can be applied towards a new device purchase.

Then, when they get their final bill listing their ETF amounts, they simply send it to T-Mobile or submit it online at switch2tmobile.com, and within 8 weeks they receive a prepaid MasterCard covering their ETF amount up to $350 per line. The amount paid will not be more than the ETF amount the customers’ previous carriers charge for the type of device traded-in.

Not trying to be negative but if all they give me is ETF value for dumb phones then the switch would have cost me an estimated $800 inc taxes for my three lines out of pocket.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] rjohnstone:
They're giving you the prorated ETF amount based on the device you traded in, not necessarily what is on your final bill.

The store rep was pretty clear about this when I switched.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Limeybastard:
Example, my ETF excluding taxes on my final ATT bill are $275 , $275 and $295. Are you saying like what I am thinking is that they will pay max amount of $150 for each? Since T Mobile decided to change their verbiage and mix up the ETF value with phone trade in at or the 20th Jan 2014?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] asianflavor:
The ETF amount that T-Mo covers is what is on your final bill. I actually just got denied on my third line since I sent in my entire bill and their cutoff was 10 pages. My third line is on the 12th page. So I redid my PDF from VZW to show my ported number and their ETF. Called T-Mo about this after I sent my PDF again. The CSR told me that I will hear about the third line today or tomorrow. The phone trade-in has nothing to do with ETF amount since that is a totally different charge. They took the phone trade-in and gave you credit on your bill. I used most of my credit to get the SIM cards and some accessories for the phones that I bought. Everyone needs to stop being paranoid until you get approval or not. I got denied due to me not reading the fine print correctly. But I'm not freaking out about it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Limeybastard:
This.

The amount paid will not be more than the ETF amount the customers’ previous carriers charge for the type of device traded-in
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] asianflavor:
My third line had a old Razor flip phone on it. The ETF on it was for $320. T-Mo, if approved, will cover that. It has nothing to do with the phone. T-Mo is covering the ETF on the final bill up to $350. I should be hearing something by tomorrow from T-Mo since they are actually reviewing my account now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Keradon:
Kinda noticed no one's answered this question yet. You're in luck! I hail from Moraine, work in Downtown Dayton, and have recently made the switch.

Coverage has been excellent downtown. I can also report excellent coverage in Downtown Dayton (5/3rd building), near the Dayton Mall, south of there as well close by Dorothy Lane Market, as well as the Greene. My wife reports that coverage is not so hot in the Medway region to the north-east, between Dayton and Springfield. Not suprising as that is basically rural farmland.... thankfully my in-laws have wi-fi!

Hope that answers your question, bkeaver! :)

Related to rest of thread's content:

I'm not that concerned about the possibly changed ETF rules for my case, as it was $150. I'll likely be out $50. But whatever...

Short synopsis of my switching from a couple weeks ago:

We went into store to switch from Sprint (Dayton Mall, in case anyone was curious). Traded in an LG Rumor Reflex and a Samsung Reclaim. I got $10 for the Reclaim for...some odd reason. Considering that her Rumor was mint and my Reclaim had seen more falls than a stuntman (and was equally as battered) I found it very odd.

Very painless process and my wife was impressed with the service reps' speed, respectability, and ability to tolerate my Samsung-fanboy tendencies.

In case you can't tell, I'm the one that got the Note 3. (And would later charge for an open box Gear from Best Buy, much to her annoyance.)

She, however, was hoping for a basic phone that had a keyboard, as she was certain she was not going to use that much data. So that reduced her choices to one...the T-Mobile My Touch Q, much to her annoyance.

Then she discovered the Pandora App. And has been delightedly streaming Moody Blues and other music ever since.

She's currently on the 2.5 GB plan.... and she doesn't want to change for another month.

We also learned of a discount with T-mobile that we can nab if we get AAA. ...considering how Sprint discontinued Roadside rescue a long while back, we consider that ironic icing on a delicious cake.

Hi guys,

I'd like to ask you for a help - I have now installed MIUI 4.1.3 (JB 4.2 based from http://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/4-1-3.23236/, everything seems to work fine so far, the only problem I got is when I connect HOX with PC with USB cable - I choose "USB Mass storage" option when it pops up on phone, but nothing else happens. I can't see HOX sdcard folder in explorer. I use latest HTC drivers so no idea what it could be. Thx a lot.

I'm assuming that the kernel does not support UMS. I'm not using the rom so i can't say for sure. But that's my first thought !

open the universal and rotate the screen 90 degrees you will see a small phillips head screw. get a jewellers screwdriver and gently tighten this back up.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gramenz:
I am running the stock Samsung 4.3 rom on my Verizon Galaxy S3.* I use Floating Notifications to manage my app notifications.*As Android 4.3 now incorporates the Android Listener Service to handle notifications, I am able to dismiss notifications from my notification bar by dismissing the Floating Notification for the corresponding app.* I have tried multiple SMS apps including stock, and this feature works fine.* However, when I clear the Floating Notification for GoSMS, the message icon on the status bar blinks (where as the rest would go away) and stays in the notification drop down, making me pull down the notification bar and manually swipe it away.* I can also use the Floating Notification to open up*the message within GoSMS, and it still shows I have a new*message (and the LED blinks) until I go in and manually dismiss from notification drop down.* Is this a GoSMS issue?

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
It might be. I haven't used GoSMS in about a year but is there a notification setting that may be overriding Floating Notification? Which other sms apps have you tried because if those all work perfectly fine then I'd have to put the blame on GoSMS barring an overriding setting. I'm using Floating Notifications and it works great for just about every app I've used it with however I've only been using stock sms on JB TW and AOSP JB/KitKat.

Mind if I ask why are you trying to unlocked you bootloader and soff or your already soff?
[HTC Droid DNA] GrzlyAdms:
Ok, I'll try to help best I can. Hopefully one of the more experienced folks can chime in too as they'll probably be way more helpful. I've got a couple guesses, but need to know a bit more. Please know that I'm only providing my best guesses as I haven't run into this problem.

What firmware version were you on when you tried rumrunner? It sounds like you already had an unlocked bootloader and s-off... through moonshine. Did you end up with a locked bootloader? If so, how? You mentioned that you went back to sense 5. What method? Did you ruu back to a stock rom or just flash one of the Custom/stock ROMs.

Here is one possible option. I would suggest reading through the thread thoroughly before diving in...

- Go back to 100% stock with locked bootloader and s-on: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2293919

Then make sure you've taken any OTA updated to get to 3.06.605.4 and you should be able to use rumrunner.
[HTC Droid DNA] thayl0:
The reason the thing is failing is because he already has a unlocked bootloader with soff. I don't know why he is trying to unlock something that is already unlocked. All he needs to do is download something like superuser or flash a custom rom with root built into it.
[HTC Droid DNA] GrzlyAdms:
10-4. That's kinda what I thought too, but figured I'd try to confirm by asking a few questions. I have seen a few people get stuck with s-off but a locked bootloader if they goof up the process trying to go back to 100% stock. Thought I'd ask the questions just in case this is what he did.
[HTC Droid DNA] p1droidx:
Ok, I would like to keep the Stock Android, but would like to have root access.

I an unsure how to gain root access with out turning S-ON.

I could follow that and turn S-ON again,

But if you have another method of gaining ROOT with out flashing a custom ROM,

I would be grateful for your assistance.

Sorry for any confusion on that,

I spent 10hrs trying to figure this out yesterday,

it was necessary to put down and look at another day.
[HTC Droid DNA] p1droidx:
I have tried downloading superuser and supersu from the play store, neither give me access to root

However I have looked on your forums since you suggested simply flashing another rom already with root access - Thanks for that btw

this post shows the full version, but has odex and deodex, well deodex is pulled, may i ask what the difference is?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2560010

I will flash the odex one now and see what happens, thanks again I needed a fresh look at this I guess.
[HTC Droid DNA] TheRealDeadApe:
You must already have a superuser app to install one from the play store. Flash a superuser zip from recovery. That will put both the app and the required binaries in place.
[HTC Droid DNA] deathrow1992:
Yo this is a random question if I go back to stock 2.06 soff and rooted will rumrunner update me or what?
[HTC Droid DNA] p1droidx:
Uh ok, let me look for this, maybe you already have a link, if not, I will try and find it, and if I find it I will post it here.

From what I have learned so far, running rumrunner when you are already S-OFF will net you a FAILED message. if your DNA is already S-OFF then feel free to flash whatever ROM you want.. well sorta, make sure it's for the DNA, and flash at your own risk.

I took the OTA after achieving S-OFF with moonshine and it removed my root access... now I am in this boat where I want to regain root.
[HTC Droid DNA] p1droidx:
I have finally finished downloading the zip from: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2560010

But I have no idea how to flash it, step by step instructions would be helpful since this is my first flash and I have yet to figure it out. I have tried fastboot flash zip but that didn't work, and I am unfamilar with this....

The FAQ here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2188944

is of no help unfortunately....

I found some Instructions that tell you to boot into recovery, but when I try to boot into recovery all I get is a RED ! and Triangle above a screen. like something went wrong :/

Start by downloading ROM and the patch and copy the file to the SD card’s root in your device.

Reboot your phone into recovery mode. For this, power off your device and restart it keeping the volume down key pressed. Your phone will be booted into bootloader fastboot mode.

In the Recovery mode, use the ‘Power ’key to select and to navigate use the ‘Volume’ keys.

Use ‘backup and restore’ option to create a backup.

Now perform three steps in a row: first wipe data//factory reset, then wipe cache and lastly wipe dalvik cache accessing the advanced menu.

Now install zip from your sdcard, then select ROMs zip file you copied to your phone and choose zip.

Redo it for Patch file once you are done with ROM installation.

At the end, reboot your phone.

Lovely I didn't have a recovery installed, using the tools: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2219175

I installed the TWRP 2.5.0.0 recovery,

THEN I was able to enter recovery and flash the ROM.

WOW what a experience, this has been.
[HTC Droid DNA] inspired designs 33:
well glad you got it sorted out.... it can be quite a lot to take in if you have never done anything like that before. but once you have done it a few times it is much easier to do and remember especially if you run into problems.

Sorry I was kind messed up last night today is my bday. :) what I meant to ask is can I receive the ota update if I go back to stock soff rooted 2.06 and if not what do I have to do to get it

if you want the 3.06.605.4 update (aka 4.2.2) and you are already s-off - and want STOCK no root: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2570548

if you want root to go with that: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2560010

if you are stock 2.06 you can take the OTA even if you are s-off, but if you have root, you will loose root taking the ota.

So will the second link you have me work even if I'm on a 2.06 custom Rom? Thanks for the help by the way
[HTC Droid DNA] p1droidx:
if you want to revert to stock, since i didn't flash the second till i flashed the first, i would suggest that you do that, if you want to go with another custom rom, follow it's instructions, if it asks for a specific starting point, aka stock 4.2.2 then flash the first one then flash the custom one.
