Well this is a bunch of b.s., they released the Note 4 but they expected me to continue paying the price of the Note 4 per week ($49) for the Note 3 instead of the it's new price $29 a week. I let them come and pick it up. I'll just go back and get the Note 4 in a couple days.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] macgyver40:
You would have to do a new contract at lower price. Thankful I get along great with the staff at the store I use.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] DorkyDev:
So do I that's why they let me slide for a week with no payment... But luckily I found a new job, a month and a half unemployed but now I'm back in the working force again, so I'm gunna go back in and get the Note 4 long enough to save up a couple paychecks and buy the Note Edge will be released and I can order it from somewhere...

I'm surprised this time the Note 4 (N910T) T-Mobile model has more LTE Bands than the AT&T (N910A) Variant, before the i317 and n900a (AT&T Note 3) had more bands than the T889 and n900t.

_

I just wish rac and aarons both would honor price drops and not force someone to continue paying top dollar for a outdated model, but then again of course they'd lose money. LoL
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] macgyver40:
I tweeted to RAC about it. Got 2 free phones out of moto so let's see what happens. If I have to stay at this price I will return my not so pristine note 3 and get the 4. Just need to figure out how to securely wipe everything. Factory reset isn't good enough to secure delete banking files.

Wait. .... people rent phones from rent a center 0_o now that's funny
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] macgyver40:
Some people can't afford the large payment to get one. You find it funny but if I break it it's replaced free. When the note 4 is release my past payments give me credit to upgrade which I can just walk in on payment day and swap phones. I also can pick what carrier I want that will work with the model they get.

I rented tablets from them and upgraded unto newer hardware about every 3 months.

Currently rent to own a S5 and Note 3 at a lower monthly cost then just my old Verizon bill not including the cost of the phones and no free replacement when one shattered. So this for some is a great way to get an unlocked high end phone. They even rented to me knowing I would root etc without issues. Warranty in full.

Not so funny.

My humor is my humor, you have yours. There was no need to quote me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Misterjunky:
re: rent-a-phone

Yes it is funny because you pay $29 bucks a week when you can buy a brand new

Note 4 or any other new phone including iPhone 6 for under $35 bucks a month

at tmobile online or at your local store.

If you like dropping your phone on your cement driveway or giving it a bath once

in a while you can simply shell out an additional $7-10 bucks a month which is still

way less than you are paying now no matter what kind of calculator you are using! LOL

I purchased my Note 4 outright, using my visa debt card but I could have just as

easily purchased it for 24 monthly payments of under $35 a month. (no interest)

What do you mean you cannot afford it? You really must be kidding!!! :p

It looks like you have no problem affording the $29 bucks a week payment.

$29 per week equals about $120 a month hmm let me get my calculator... LOL

That comes out to about $1560 a year just for the phone without a voice/data plan or contract.

You really must be very rich to be able to afford that.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] DorkyDev:
Why not, if you're not sure ya want a phone yet. Rent it for a month or few weeks, I knew I was going in temporarily with no intentions of paying what they wanted for it, nearly $1,200.00, but now I know I like the Note 3 and got a feel for it, so I'll just buy the AT&T Model off ebay for 250-to-280 in good condition.

OR If you/I made enough money, you could rent it, then knowingly that ya like it already order if from somewhere else for a lot cheaper and use the rac one till the new paid for one gets there to ya.

But like he said try getting a replacement with T-Mo, AT&T, Verizon or Sprint and them knowing or finding out it's rooted. Nope sorry. Now that's even more funny!!

Or wait better yet, try getting one with bad credit from one them, not gunna happen, as with rac, they don't care.

You/we all know it's the glorification of instant satisfaction regardless of the price.

But they do give ya the option to pay the actual $799/$899 retail price right off the bat within the first 90 days and if ya do it's yours no more rac contract or payments, unless ya wanted to keep the special rac membership package and coverage at $12 bucks a month, and then they'll continue to keep the phone under warranty.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] macgyver40:
Tmo doesn't work well at all where I live. AT&T won't do that plan for me. I had Verizon but was paying 250 for 2 phones of older lesser phones. Sprint is not a carrier that works well at all in my State. So to replace a busted phone and get me the note 3 at a lower monthly cost then Verizon RAC works best and replacement is really easy plus I get credit when I upgrade never heard of any carrier do that. Granted I will pay more in the long run but I couldn't afford full price for an S5 and GN3 on the same day which I got from RAC for 20 bucks first payment. Works out great for me on a retired fixed income. Plus I have a great phone.

note 3 4.4.2 stock rooted N900T
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] DorkyDev:
Yea I know what ya mean no argument here, I just don't see myself how it makes sense to me to pay full retail price for something a year old when one could hunt around on ebay and buy it right out for a 3rd of the price. I do it with all my phones, except for the Note 3, yea at&t is finicky for me too, one end of the house I get at&t coverage the other end I don't and it's barely getting 2 bars, I'm just going with the at&t Note 3 cause it has a wider range of LTE Bands than the T-Mo version, so that might mean better faster LTE coverage on MetroPCS/T-Mo.

But yea when I'm unemployed and can't find a job I'm on a fixed income too, so I know where you're coming from on the limited money thing.

Like I rebuttaled to the nay-sayers, at least with rac it doesn't mess up your credit even more and if you go with a no contract carrier you aren't nearly knickled and dimed to death as you are with at&t, sprint, t-mobile and verizon.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Misterjunky:
Nickeled and dimed to death? Where have you been for the last two years or so.

With Tmobile you can get a plan as low as $39.95 a month for unlimited everything

except high speed data.

You don't even need to buy a phone, you can use your own phone and there is no

contract, no credit checking and if you go over your alloted data the data simply

slows down until your next month of service.

You are never charged for additional data and you can change your monthly plan to a

higher amount of high speed data anytime you like.

It's defiantly not like the old days anymore and I am certain that other carriers besides

tmobile have similar no contract plans for similar prices.

Paying RAC $1560 a year or $30 a week is a lot more than someone with limited income

can afford especially since the weekly $30 does NOT include any talk/text/data plan at all.

Paying $1560 a year just for the phone and nothing else is actually crazy. LOL

For that much money you can purchase two brand new shiny note 4's!!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] DorkyDev:
Did ya not take heed to me previously stating I have bad credit? T-Mo is off limits to me unless it's prepaid...

Also fyi open your eyes!! AT&T to pay $105M over mobile ‘cramming,’ pledges to end practice of socking customers with hidden charges dated Oct 8th 2014, and that's just one out of four major carriers busted for it, a couple years ago T-Mobile was too, so where have you been to not see this and try to devoid the validity of what I stated? LoL! Or what macgyver40 stated about Verizon...

I'm actually on the side of being semi-against rac cause they overcharge ya like a mofo, unless ya pay off the retail price within 90 days. Again you did not see where I said I'd just assume use a rac temporarily for a month and get one off ebay in the meantime while using the rac version? LoL

The only good thing I can say about rac again is their warranty, no matter if it's rooted and their credit towards an upgrade. Other then that I don't see how it justifiably makes sense to pay twice the price for a phone except for the glorification of instant satisfaction regardless of the price.

All this reiterated to the deaf, dumb and blind. No offense but sorry, but if I got to repeat myself then by all means, obviously you suffer from selective reading and attention span(Again no offense so do I sometimes too)!!

Seriously all of this said in post #21
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] macgyver40:
Hmmm pay 500 for an S5 and what ever for a note 3 in a single day. Can't do it. I walked into RAC with store credit and 20 bucks and walk out with 2 phones. I can't see anyone doing that from any store online or off.

Also stop saying tmo. They suck here! Even in the local city which is small compared to most service still sucks. I live in the back country and no service here from any carrier. So getting into tmo sprint at or Verizon is useless and a waste of money. I pay for what I use nothing more. I also won't pay rac their full price.

Also. Last payment day. Talking with clerk I said wish I had money for a road trip. He typed away no clue on my part and my bill (more then the 2 phones) was 50 bucks less. He said you earned it. Thanks for your service to this country. Would TMO do that?

Holy crap, 29 dollars a WEEK!?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Misterjunky:
re: weekly $29 bucks

And the $29 bucks a week he pays does not even include any voice or data service. LOL

(I don't believe the guy at all and I think his posts are a bunch of baloney)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] DorkyDev:
Hey now if someone wants to pay extra for a phone and not have it interrupt with their credit score and get by a week or 2 sometimes for free, I say then so be it, let them do it.

It's not affecting you in anyway, shape or form... Now is it, really? He did say he's not going to pay the full rac price, so apparently sometime down the road he plans on doubling up on payments I take it to get by with that 90 day price agreement.

I'm actually foaming at the mouth at the new Asus PadFone X (PF500KL Model #) with the 10" docking bay tablet add-on. AND Suffering on a very Lagworthy HD2 again for the time being then my first full two week paycheck I'll get a new phablet maybe a Note 3 or 4 or this PadFone X (PF500KL version)... I had to get my/a HD2 back in my hands, just cause FFS it's the almighty HD2 that can run nearly anything and everything.

Remember what I said about instant satisfaction?

---------- Post added at 11:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:34 PM ----------

I'd honestly say (Sure go ahead laugh now it's QVC) this is a better deal than the rac Note 3 deal - Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Unlocked Phone ---- Easy Pay! 4 Installments of $187.49, plus Tax and S & H, now I'll openly and honestly say the only drawback for me on phones like this from QVC are usually International Non-LTE Variants and that's why I never suckered in and got one from them... But with them, it's just that they set a price, you get the device and pay it out --- RAC was constantly trying to switch payment formats on me just so they could knickle and dime me even more-so, very unpleased with the crew at my location, one time I paid the $49 a week payment (Before the Note 4 was sold there and price dropped) and paid in 3 20's and they decided to keep my change and made up some lame assed excuse as to why they kept it, fee's and sh!t or something another like that excuse.

I done the easy payment thing with qvc on my 55" Tv with PIP and Digital OTA Antenna, I was never constantly called up and harassed by phone calls about payments or slapped around with unknown extra charges and late fee's with them.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] DorkyDev:
Got my Note 3 AT&T model since it has more LTE Bands and saved having to give that money to rac in the long run, paid $270 for a mint condition cleam imei one, then 17 bucks to unlock it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] macgyver40:
People thought I was insane for using RAC to get a phone.

Well traded in the note 3 and got 2 S5s for the cost of one. 1 week later brought 2 defects back and guess what no stock. So the cool RAC management gave us 2 Note 4s at the S5 single phone contract price we already had. So I got 2 brand new note 4s for the total cost of $1,142.76. Thats less then the cost of 2 new Note 4s when released. Hmmm guess I got the last laugh.

Just wish i remembered this post before today.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ludeawakening:
Good God that's expensive as crap for two Note 4's Lol. My buddy just bought a mint white one a few days ago with all factory accessories still sealed for $335 on eBay. That particular seller has plenty of them and he's a really legit seller. I've purchased two phones from him.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] macgyver40:
Ok to clarify I am talking 2014 early 2015 prices. When they were still 700+ retail.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] macgyver40:
Oh I also stated when released. So
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ludeawakening:
Okay that price makes more sense now. Lol

But by simply reading your first post, it looks like you're saying you just very recently got two of them for $1,142.76.. You didn't say anything to indicate you were talking about when the Note 4 first released.

1 try with a SIM card from a different carrier

2 then with a sim card from the same carrier and local area

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] m0biusace:
Upgraded to 3.2AKU. Didnt like it, downgraded to 2.17. When I try to call people, or get called my phone/the other party recieves the call, and when I answer it the phone says CONNECTED, but I hear nothing over the earpiece, and no voice is transmitted (the other party said they couldnt hear a thing).

I tried a 2.5mm headset. Nothing recieved or transmitted voice wise.

Data over EDGE works 100%.

SMS works.

Then I tried a motorola HS815 bluetooth headset. IT WORKS. I can hear the other party, and they can hear me.

*

The earpiece speaker isnt busted, I can hear the beeps come out from it when you adjust the call volume (it comes from the earpiece, im sure, not from the speakers on the sides of the phone).

I tried 2.24

Tried a different varient of 2.17.

Tried to go back to 3.2

Nothing works. I'm downgrading back to 2.17, then to a 1.xx ROM to see if that works.

What the heck could be the problem? Could it really be hardware? I've never dropped it, and its never shown any problems in the three months i've had it. Could it be the 3.2rom that I installed, then downgraded back to 2.17?

As an avid computer, and 8125 user, this is really puzzling me Oo.

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

It doesn't charge downwards. It's simply because you are doing something so intensive that the power from USB outlets cannot cannot draw enough power and so it compensates by using battery power as well.

Computer USB only gives out about 0.5 -0.7A @ 5V which is not really enough to charge the phone while in use for anything.

However, USB charger gives 2A @ 5V which is enough to do some intensive things while not loosing charge.

Try using this app to find out what current you're getting from your charger. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2076078

Stock charger and cable with stock kernel should show 1200 mah with the screen on. If you aren't getting that, try different cables in case you have damaged your stock one. Beware though... I have found some cheap generic cables perform very very badly. You could have different results with a non Samsung charger, sometimes they will work in a similar way, sometimes the kernel detects it as a PC connection and limits the charging current. It depends on the internals of the charger and if there is any resistance across the data pins.
