[Moto X General] Cozume:
Ok I did the math for California:

If you live in California you get taxed on the full retail value of the phone when you use an upgrade. I am using an 8% sales tax but I think in California the sales tax varies by county and even by city.

So 8% sales tax on the 16GB iPhone 5s full retail value of $650 + $30 upgrade fee = $55. Thus, total cost for the iPhone 5s is $195 on sale after $50 gc applied. Here is the math:

iPhone 5s at Best Buy using reserve gift card, factoring in upgrade fee, current sale price and 8% sales tax on the full retail value and upgrade fee = $195

Moto X Dev Ed including 8% sales tax at current sale price = $410

Net from Sale of iPhone 5s assuming sale price of $525 after you pay swappa fee/paypal fees/shipping = $475

$475 - $195 - $410 = -$130

So you would end up with a Moto X Dev Ed for $130. However, if you score yourself a Motorola Admiral off of ebay for about $25 and do the tradeup program for the $100 gift card you net $75 on that. Then $75 - $130 = -$55 so if you are willing to do the TradeUP program, too, you end up getting a Verizon Moto X Dev Ed for $55.

Remember the Motorola TradeUp program requires that the Motorola Admiral have a clean ESN, work and not have a cracked screen.

Caveat - if you use the Motorola Tradeup program you have to select Moto X all other carriers, not Moto X verizon if you want a $100 VISA prepaid card. I did this with a Verizon Dev Ed purchased from Motorola directly and got the confirmation that I am getting the $100 VISA prepaid card.

The current price for a 32GB Moto Maker Moto X using your upgrade is $50 + $30 upgrade fee = $80 + an 8% sales tax of $33 on the full retail value of the phone and the upgrade fee = $113.

$113 - $55 = $58 so you would save $58 AND get an 32GB Moto X Dev Ed with unlockable bootloader if you use my method instead of using your upgrade to buy a 32GB Moto Maker Moto X having a locked bootloader that can't be unlocked. But of course you can't customize the Dev Eds.

Cool story.

sent from my sm-9005.
[Moto X General] DogzOfWar:
You just blew my mind. I bought my Moto X in December because I couldn't wait to get a new phone, even though my contract is up in April 2014. I might have to do this routine in April. (Although my original thinking was that I would "bank" my upgraded phone so that I could upgrade again in Dec 2014, when the Moto X2 - Exxxtreme X is released :) )
[Moto X General] Mike7143:
I just did something like this not too long ago. Was on a Verizon Galaxy Nexus with unlimited data, on a family plan, and a family member was due for upgrade and already had a 2GB plan. Upgraded her phone to Moto X at Best Buy for $1, then swapped her phones, purchased Moto X Developer Edition at full price ($449 then), then sold the $1 Moto X. Total cost was a little less than $110 to upgrade to a Dev Moto X, keep unlimited, family member got an upgrade w/ accessories (Droid X to Gnex), and all were happy!
[Moto X General] Cozume:
I did the same thing you did, thinking I would "bank" my upgrade for the X2! But now that I have a Dev Ed and see how easy it is to root, I don't want the locked bootloader version so I will use my upgrade to get an iPhone to sell.

I am definitely waiting for the Moto X2 Dev Ed, though. Also, you can expect the sale price you would get for an iPhone 5s in April to be less than what you can get for it today since we will be getting closer to the September release of the iPhone 6.

Also, Best Buy runs deals on the iPhones on black friday and they kept those deals on even through the next week this year. This year it was $125, then if you figure in the $50 reserve gc, it is $75. My mom had an upgrade available and she was happy with her iPhone 5 and the iPhone 5s wasn't that much of an improvement so I used her upgrade to get a $75 iPhone 5s to sell. Once I deducted the cost of the phone including sales tax and upgrade fee and deducted the swappa/paypal/shipping, I was able to net $450 on it since I sold it for $615! I probably could have gotten a bit more, like $625, but I was so busy during the holidays that I waited 3 weeks after I got it to list it and by then the prices had dropped since I couldn't get it shipped to arrive by Christmas.

The other thing about the Verizon iPhones, since they are GSM SIM unlocked out of the box, international buyers want them. I won't ship to an international address, but some of them use US based reshippers, which I will ship to even though they are not paypal confirmed addresses. The paypal fees are higher because they pay from international pay pal accounts, so I have them paypal me the additional fees to cover that, which I think is fair. Anyhow if you make it clear in your listing that the device is GSM SIM unlocked, that helps if you want to attract those buyers. I always mention the issue with frequency bands especially data and that they need to check their carrier's bands and compare it to the published info on the Verizon iPhone bands. I tell them that is their responsibility, not mine.

So my plan is to buy the Moto X2 Dev Ed outright and use my upgrade on an iPhone 6 to sell. I will buy the Moto X2 Dev Ed first and then wait to "reimburse" myself until I can find an iPhone 6 on sale, which usually is not before black friday.
[Moto X General] Cozume:
You can transfer your unlimited data plan line's upgrade to her 2GB line and use it to upgrade on her line, activate the new phone on her line, and then switch the new phone to your line without losing your unlimited data. But of course you can't get a Dev Ed with an upgrade. But you could get an iPhone to sell that way so that your UDP line's upgrade is not wasted.

I asked for a verizon forum to be created on XDA so I can post this method and there is another best buy online method to use your UDP line's upgrade without losing your UDP that I could post.

I will do it in the Moto X general forum until then but it really would be better if they could create a verizon forum for us to talk about phone deals and wireless plans. Other carriers, too, but I am not leaving Verizon as long as I have an UDP.

How to Get a Subsidized Phone on Verizon and Not Lose Unlimited Data
[Moto X General] Cozume:
Bumping this since the Moto X and Best Buy sales end tomorrow!!!!!
[Moto X General] sumonmolla:
i think it will be running until moto alive... thanks moto
[Moto X General] caseyatbt:
I am on day 17. I got the iPhone from Best Buy. I didn't activate it, but I activated a brand new Moto X DE. My account still shows Unlimited Data and I never had a notification about activating a new phone. I think I am ready to sell the iPhone.
[Moto X General] lucky13:
Another tip, I was suffering from the dreaded foam over the front facing camera. After speaking with Motorola support, they agreed to RMA my device. I ordered a DE, and they will credit me when they get my defective device. So, for the additional cost of a DE, I got to RMA my other device (just a standard Verizon motomaker edition) and slip into a DE. boom.

So I am not sure where to post this, but this is my question. So I have an AT&T Galaxy Note II, SGH-I317, I have recently Network unlocked it so I can use it with T-Mobile. So my question is, should I use the thread for the AT&T Note II or the T-mobile Note II. Thanks for the help.

Hi

Sorry if this has been asked before. Searched for it but didn't find it...

I would like to manage my PHOTO Contacts from the PC (much in the same manner I manage normal Contacts with Outlook. Is there any software for this?

I thank you in advance.

Thanks

Not that Im aware of but how about remote controlling ? Something like Pocket Controller will allow you to use your PC keyboard / mouse and have your phones display on-screen.

Just a thought

Yes, that's as far as I got trying to solve the problem, too. I was hoping there was a way around it. Maybe importing the phone contacts database or something....
[General Questions and Answers] lakimens:
My phone model is LDK N9389(Probably haven't heard of it).

It has:

MT6589 Chip

CPU:Quad-Core ARM Cortex A7 1.21Ghz.

GPU:PowerVR SGX 544MP

Screen Res:480x854(240DPI) 5,3"

13MP Back Camera(with flash), 5MP Front(Not good quality)

Battery 3000

Android 4.2.1.

When I lower the exposure/contrast/brightness the shutter delay is 0, but when it's normal it's lagging also flash isn't in sync with the actual taking of the picture.Even if the flash is on the pictures are like half-flashed(it's like the flash is not using all it's power cus that's just 1 moment when it's full power and then it goes down in about 0.5 seconds).

I think with that hardware I should be able to do better than that.

My friends with 1Ghz CPU are doing better when it comes to shutter delay.

Help please!

Fixed this by installing the camera that is on the Google Play Edition Phones.

I had been searching and googling spending all night awake but couldnt find a "modest" way to restore the deleted files from internal memory of my ZL. I found threads asking the same thing and this one http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1994705 but its for galaxy phones, despite being for other phone I guess that process could work but its pretty difficult to me to understand all.

Is there a easiest way?

I had tried hexamob recovery, DiskDigger and others apps but it was a failure. I need to recover photo files, .txs, specific .xmls, ect. I need to recover smsbackup&restore files and notes files from colornote dating from 2011 :(

Its 2014 and cant believe yet there is no easy way :( (those software like android file recovery, android data recovery, etc etc are useless since they cant detect phone´s internal memory.)

flash clockwork recovery , if you dont knows how to flash cwm recovery, rply me your cell information, but if you knows how to flash clockwork recovery then, then in clockwork recovery, mount your internal storage to the pc, mounting will create your internal storage drive in pc not a syncronous device, then use data recovery softwares, download from here http://kickass.to/power-data-recovery-v4-6-0-crack-rezman1984-7z-t2155009.html , then install data recovery software and install the crack, then open recovery softare, then choose your internal storage drive, choose deep scan process, it will deeply scan your internal storage, and try to recover all the files from the day of manufacture, hope you will get your data back ! rply me if you dont knows how to flash clockwork data recovery i will guide you, and rply yours cell os's information also, hit thanks button if i had helped you, i am new in xda developers and want to become senior member !

using my above method, you can recover your media files and i guess .xmls also,but no sms and no contact !
[Sony Xperia ZL] Enomine:
I could recover some of the files that I wanted thanks to a very old backup I found in my pc. It wasnt all the updated info I wanted but at least I recovered something. So I get what I got and already give up with that xP. Its a shame about the pictures because those are pics of a Filippa Giordano concert xP. My problem right know its I dont have time because Im taking school tests :/ but the info you gave me sounds good, in theory it may work. I know how to flash clockmood recovery in HTC but I guess is pretty much similar the process with Xperia, If I got time I´ll give it a try, thanks for this info and I hope ppl who are in the same problem could read this and give it a try.

If it has the same part code then they are transferable the difference between the WiFi and 3G models are some of the components on the motherboard they both use the same LCD

Edit: I just realised the part codes are different I've had a look and I can't see any difference between them I think you should be fine after all the LCD units are identical

Hi

Did install CM11 on my e975 the other day. But I do experience some issues with the 4g signal.

Often after booting I can't get any service, and the phone indicates a signal at several thousands of dBm.

Switch to gsm and then back to LTE again fixes the problem, but why does it behave like this? Is it a known issue?

[LG Optimus G (International)] Bertilson:
Checked it today and there is no problem with APN. And even if it would have been that should only affect the data service. I my case the phone does not register to the network at all.

But since I had some similar issues with the stock ROM it might be related to an hardware issue.

I will try to restore it to stock so I can send it for repair.

If I'm not mistaken it's not LG that replied to your comment but some random dude. So it doesn't mean anything. But on the other hand even LG had lied about updates in the past.

[LG Optimus G (International)] Vuja1:
if it's true what he said he didn't mentioned our model, and i don't believe in that story until i see update on my e975 for 4.4 ;)
[LG Optimus G (International)] nchc:
In consideration of all the other kitkat update claims, its either a very ballsy, stupid or genius first XDA post...time will tell.
[LG Optimus G (International)] akahroba:
as he says we're working I don't think that he's a random guy. and you know, LG admins don not have the right to announce anything until they arre told to do. So they act more conservative. look at the screenshot attached. Some information are company confidential. But the employees are more free to do it. I mean even if he's not true about next month he must be true about the coming of the update.

Well, Optimus g is optimus g. my model is e975 too. and this one must be the first to get it. becaause AT&T models should be customized and also requested by AT&T... International ones are the ones supported directly by LG.

I hope it won't be the first one ;)

[LG Optimus G (International)] artssa:

[LG Optimus G (International)] akahroba:
Let's study the situation a bit deeper.

reasons we get the update:

1. if we consider the 18 months period of recieving updates, we still have 4 months left. G was released in October, 2012

2. I think except for the initial batch, most of the devices had Jelly bean 4.1.2 while being sold and they still have the same version. So there should be at least an update to a higher version.

3. Physically the device has all the potentials to be upgraded to kitkat and as a previous flagship deserves to get it.

4. the leaked news says that they were testing kitkat on both g pro and g. Now that they are releasing the update for g pro by the end of Q2. There should be an update for g as well since we know that the device doesn't lack anything to run kitkat smoothly.

resons no to get it

1. Why should a company care for a phone from 2012 while there are so many other new phones 2013 onward?

Well I think we have more reasons to get it than not to get it.

to get or not to get. this is the question :p
[LG Optimus G (International)] akahroba:
and look

Samsung officially announced the models which will get kitkat. Among them you can see Note 2 which was released in September, 2012 and Galaxy S3 which was released in July, 2012!!

So let's keep our fingers crossed :angel:

I didn't forget anything. I have written the question everywhere and I've got the same response as the one you attached. I myself attached one last page.

They are not allowed to announce anything. Actually they don't know anything. They are simply page admins. Whenever they say something it's not true or exact. No one knows exactly when everything will be ready but I believe it will be ready one day not so far from today.

A French provider and LG (not just LG Estonia) both have confirmed the update. So it seems more ligit than before. I perfectly understand your suspicion.
