Just a precaution

Just giving some of my fellow xda'-ers (lol) notice that Best Buy has been notified by samsung to start pulling the note 4 pre-orders. I have called several store statewide ( Michigan and Ohio) only to have the same information repeated. Some stores are carrier specific and may *slightly* have some left. So if your thinking about doing the trade in via bestbuy to get the instant savings, you may want to do it soon, as in Yesterday lol. Also, we aware that bestbuy will argue about price matching sprint and amazon for the 299 price of the sprint note 3. I have argued with 10 managers and even had corporate step in and honor the information given on bestbuy.com : It even says on that bestbuy home page, "We won't be beat on price.

Best Buy matches the price of all local retail competitors and major online retailers, including Amazon."

Essentially I ended up winning my argument and was awarded the price match. BANG!!!!!

Here's more FAQ.

https://samsunggalaxypromotions.com/note4/Content/Faq.pdf

So any store, online or retail that you can pre-order the note 4 is considered a participating store. That includes amazon as you can pre-order from them. It still does not state that you have to trade in at the same location or store (just like the email I got from them), so I will probably be doing a trade in at amazon.com which I can get more that $10 (currently only $8 at tmobile) for my phone. But my pre-order was done at t-mobile.com.

Wish they would give a straighter answer than "recommend"

I wanna use it with Jump which means I would have to submit it to Amazon instead of T-Mobile

THANK YOU SIR, 8 bucks lol im on my way to BB right now! oh fyi, BB will also say that they dont price match on carrier subsidized phones, each store has a policy set by corporate and inhouse policy! BE AWARE! lol
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aznmode:
Funny that's what I want to trade in too. It needs to be $10 or more though. Let me know if BB gives you more than $8. If it's in great condition, you can get $22 at Amazon.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borijess:
I preordered my phone but did not take trade in when preordered. They said they will do it when I pick up phone. Is this true fOr everyone going to best buy?

That's what the lady told me. She said to bring it when I pick up the Note 4.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spinedoc:
Yeah as far as I know that's accurate.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] About20ninj45:
Just came back

BB rep said no minimum trade in vale needed as long as the phone worked and had no damage. I pre ordered and I turn in the evo for the credit when the phone arrives :)
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JimSmith94:
I did the same thing with an online order with T-Mobile. At the time, a store employee told me to bring in my trade in when I received the new phone. Today they said I should have given my trade in info at the time of order. Now their 800 number is hosed and not accepting calls.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aznmode:
That's awesome. Too bad Tmobile is not part of the best buy rebate deal so I'm SOL as far as bestbuy goes.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flyinace2:
So has there been a final verdict on whether we can qualify for the $200 BestBuy promotion without signing a new contract? I'm determined to keep my Verizon unlimited data plan...
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aznmode:
So just to be on the safe side since I pre-ordered at Tmobile, I decided to go through tmobile for my trade in as well rather than amazon. Since I only had an evo 3d and didn't have a better qualified phone to trade in, I decided to find a phone on ebay that qualified for the minimum $10 requirement. At the same time, a phone that other carrier offered a better $ trade in than tmobile so I can take advantage of their best trade in program where they will beat the trade in value quote from another carrier and on top they give me $50 (fine print says it will be a form of credit to my account but it will take 6-8 weeks).

The phone I found that verizon offered more for was the Verizon droid razr M. Tmobile's trade in value is $13 vs Verizon's $15. Found one on ebay for $61 and bought it. Made sure it didn't have a cracked screen, no water damage, and it turns on. These are 3 requirements for tmobile trade in. Including the IMEI.

After purchase, since the seller posted the IMEI number, I did the trade in online. At the end, it gave me a receipt for the trade in and a shipping label. I guess I could've waited to do a trade in at the store but I didn't want to risk the the trade in value of the phone to go up for Tmobile or go down at Verizon by the time I get the note 4 next week. And also since I pre-ordered online.

To take advantage of the best trade in program, you also need to fill out another online form.

The razr M was $61 on ebay. Trade in value is at $13, and later the difference of $2 to match verizons offer plus the $50 credit. $187 check from Samsung. So in the end, my total saving is $191. Not too bad in my book!

Trade in link below. Make sure you also fill out the note 4 order # and phone number on the bottom of the page after getting your trade in price quote.

Best trade in value. Link can be found on the page above as well.

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JimSmith94:
Good for you! Wish I had seen this before I bought an LG F6 to trade in. TMO will pay $32 but that's about twice what the other carriers will pay. I can't do the trade in until I get the phone and port my number from Sprint, as both transactions require a TMO account and phone number.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Techweed:
I went to the promo site to see if it opened up for submission of info but it still looks the same. Not that any of us would be able to submit anything anyway since we don't have the phone yet but I was curious as to how the layout would look. Weird because they said it starts 10/10.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] About20ninj45:
Your right

It also states that the promotion ends 10/16, the day before the phones are supposed to arrive. I mentioned this to the BB sales rep because they didnt take my trade in right away. They assured me that if they messed up and i didnt receive the 200 credit that they would honor it anyway. My concern was them not taking my phone right away, they said they would do itat the time of purchase. Its almost misleading lol
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SiNJiN76:
Because the phone needs to have been pre-ordered. Can't pre-order a phone after 10/16 (unless on Verizon) because the phone is released by then. The promotion is for pre-orders. ;)

But the $50 dollar best buy gift card doesn't even guarantee you a pre order for a note 3
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schlepprock:
I went to Best Buy this morning and pre - ordered the Note4 with Sprint. White for my wife and black for myself. The $200.00 trade in deal is still going now though the rep did say the end is nearing. We're trading in our HTC Evo 4Gs , they're not getting my Wickedly rooted S3.. Yay us!

Has anyone who submitted all pertinent information for the $200 trade in deal on the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 received a confirmation e-mail? I submitted everything on Friday 10/10/14, and have still received nothing by e-mail at the end of the day 10/14/14. Any info.? Thanks!

What information is required to submit to bestbuy for the 200 trade in? I thought all you had to do was pre order, is there something im missing?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aznmode:
Pre-order from them at the store and trade in any working phone. That's it.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] About20ninj45:

The post right above mine confused me, lol, also, I just received an email from BB http://www.bestbuy.com/site/null/null/pcmcat344200050007.c?id=pcmcat344200050007&ref=67&loc=730b&CampaignID=633887&SubscriberID=121646068&eut=2541258996

Does anyone else know about this?

Can I get this along with the 200 gift card as well?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borijess:
I believe so. I registered my number about a year ago. Whenever you upgrade with best buy they will give you 50 gift card on any upgrade. Which you can apply to phone.

Hey cephraim,

So you are saying that you had it in the send it by mail choice and tried submitting the docs online at the same time? If you aren't getting the email then most likely it just registered you as sending it in by mail.

I received the email and sent the email and receipts through certified USPS mail.

Was the rebate only available for people that pre-ordered?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bjhatch:


Here's my story. I preordered the Verizon note 4 at bestbuy as a hardware purchase on 9/21. I went in today. They rang up the phone at 749. I showed them the price st verizon.com...they drop their price to 699 to price match. I had a crappy trade in...they couldn't get the 200 to apply. Said for hardware purchases it wouldn't apply. Had something to do with they way the kid preordered my phone. A manager came over...knocked 200 off the purchase price and they handed me back my junk phone. So total was 499...plus 33 bucks in tax minus my 50 gc...488 out the door. Beautiful looking phone at a good price. After I sell the rooted n2...I'll be in for 300 on a new phone
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SiNJiN76:
Yes
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karipay:
It's a bummer for me. I went to check the mail status and found a status of " Delivery status not updated".

It should have been delivered 2 days ago.

I'll probably try submitting it online.

For those who mailed their receipts, did you guys get an email confirmation?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cephraim:
Where do you check that status?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karipay:
I was taking about the USPS certified mail I sent via USPS.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Techweed:
Anyone heard from Samsung about their rebate status? I'm wondering how long it will take them to grant you the rebate. I know it will take several weeks to receive it, I just want to know if all the paperwork qualified.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karipay:
For those who's certified mail not showing delivered in USPS tracking site. I just talked to the post office supervisor and she said that they have tons of certified mails waiting for a signature before they can release the mails. This is the reason why they're not showing delivered in the status. They need someone from prizelogic to sign and get the mails before they can mark it as delivered.

Considering a lot of people opted to mail in their reciepts, someone from prizelogic should get those mails out of their po box.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gnash.s:
Hello All,

I had to submit my request through the mail, as their shi**y online website would not let me submit it saying Invalid IMEI.

Did anyone get any response from Prizelogic morons after submitting your claim? I got en email saying my request was rejected without giving me any reason - "Unfortunately your request for a rebate has been rejected due to the content of your receipt or failure to comply with the Terms and Conditions."

Did any of you get an approved message? If you did, can you please share what all receipts you submitted? Please help!

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cfclay:
I bought my nexus 7 on 12/31/2012 for work and have very few hours on it. I've gone to the dark side and started enjoying ios more (sorry xda) and pretty much kept the new toy in a drawer in my desk.

I was using it one day this month to Skype and was really thinking this was a cool and I was trying to screen capture and basically forgot how. I was holding down the power and volume down button and then it went off....never to come on again.

Sent it to Asus and they said it needs motherboard. The motherboards on eBay seem like a great fix. I've seen the ifixit pictures and actually took it apart during my diagnosing before sending to Asus.. So I fell comfortable in replacing motherboard.

My question is that I occasionally I see a cracked 2nd generation screen unit for cheap on Craigslist.

Can the screen of the gen 1 be put on the Gen 2?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnwayne007:
They Dont use the same screen. You would have to buy a screen on ebay FOR the Gen 2 and replace it with that.

Hello,

I'm living in europe and bought xt925 on ebay. It came from singapour. From very beggining I had a problem with its loudness. It was very quiet on speaker. I'm talking about both music and ringtone. When I set loudness on half I cannot hear almost anything from speaker. When I set it on the maximum it is as loud as my friend's samsung at 1/4.

I cannot send it back to seller because I need it for work. I heard about Engineer Mode where I can change any setting but unfortunately it doesnt work. It popsup with message "Cannot find EngineerMode app". I though it is because it's not rooted.

Downloaded several root tools but none worked. Surprisingly this phone was already unlocked.

Please tell me is it broken or what? What can I do with it? It is so quiet that I cannot hear it when someone is calling in another room.

Taking a stock OTA update will always fail if the system has been modified (rooted, stock apps removed, etc). If you didn't restore it to a factory image with RSD Lite after getting it, the previous owner probably did something that is causing the update to fail.
