[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derberts:
Hello all,

I had a nexus 5 before this phone and found google very easy to deal with when I needed to RMA. Has anyone RMAed their Z3C yet? Or a Z2 or Z1? Is Sony fairly easy to deal with?

Also, I bought the phone from Clove UK so does that change anything? Thanks.

i have to rma my z3 for the third time now since oct 2014

all 3 faults was because water under the lens

it lasts about 2 weeks till i get a new one from vodafone germany.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anastasios912:
I know this is an old topic but I wanted to give my 2 cents anyway (I see you're from the UK, so two pence :) )

I've had to RMA my device 3 times as well...Sony is not nearly as easy to deal with as Google. Google would just send me a refurb device without question, often a new one. Sony on the other hand takes at least 2 weeks for the turnaround time to repair and is terrible communicating the status to you. This wouldn't be such a big deal if it was one time, but the second time they sent my phone back they had fixed my microsd flap but did nothing about the battery.

After a lot of arguing on the phone trying to explain that it was their fault they made me send it back again. Then, after I received it my camera stopped working in a few days...so here I am haha. Waiting on my 3rd and hopefully final RMA. Sony makes really great phones for the money but man oh man their customer service is the WORST. Complete broken record syndrome with any of the reps I've talked to.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] YELLOWSTLMACH:
So cliffnotes are I was on Cleanrom previously and went to the newer version. I realized I didn't first get the 4.4.3 firmware so I ran the RUU to get 4.4.3.

Once that booted up I still have Super SU but it says there are no binaries. Some apps are saying I'm rooted but Root Checker says i'm not.

I tried to get into recovery to re install Clean Rom but only get a phone with a red triangle and exclamation point. (My device is already S-Off/Unlocked.

How can I install TWRP recovery and get back to Cleanr Rom?

Thanks.:good:

My guess is that you didn't run the ruu twice. Run it again and pay close attention to whether it asks to flush and reflash.

What's the name of the zip you flashed?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] YELLOWSTLMACH:
Yeah, Only ran it once but it never stopped to ask for either. (I did see in the instructions to watch for those.)

I'll run it again and see if that works. Thanks.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
What is the name of the zip you used?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] YELLOWSTLMACH:
I used 0P6BIMG.zip (Sorry had to wait 5 minutes between posts since I haven't been on in awhile.)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
What was the name of it before you renamed?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] YELLOWSTLMACH:
That's the name as it was downloaded.

Here's the thread I got it from. (Very first RUU link.)

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
Right.... So that's not even my latest ruu. I suspect you simply need to need to start at this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2873144

That's the 4.4.3 ruu which already had su installed. Pay close attention to the outputs during flashing to see if you do in fact need to flash twice.

SO I canceled my Verizon pre order to do it through best buy (felt more reliable with $200 gift card, not waiting for a mail in rebate which never comes), and they dont seem to be available. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/promo/samsung-galaxy-note-4-128435

I was in store on Saturday to pre order, and they just said it wasnt available. The Samsung "Experience Coordinator" (or whatever it is), had no explanation, was really pissed off, and just offered to text me when they become available to preorder. Anyone know whats going on?

Wow, I was able to pre-order mine for Verizon on Thursday, this past week.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] husker97:
I've been waiting for them to open the pre orders on their website because I don't live near a bb but I would be willing to drive to pick it up to save $200. If I can't order it through bb I'm gonna be pissed. I really don't want to deal with uploading the receipts and all that crap for the other promo. If I have to I will, but I would much rather deal with bb. I am pre ordering by the end of the week no matter what weither it's from bb or verizon.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
When I preordered the Sprint one there was issues with their site and store connections. I had to go back 2 days later to put it in. At that time there was a message flashing across the screen that the Verizon preorders could not be taken yet. Just keep calling until they are up, you have until the 16th to preorder.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markanthonyjohn:
I was in there Saturday also and was told all they had left to pre-order was white. When I got home and looked online even white was gone. Bummer because the employee told me that the tradein program was very lax and that they would accept pretty much any phone as long as it turned on and didn't have water damage/major cracks.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oneandroidnut:
i went in to a bb to check out the note 4 as well. Phone is sick! but i asked the same about pricing and ordering and they didnt have a clue on both! I was like really!??
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MGK645:
Wife and I went to 3 Best Buy's yesterday to preorder for Verizon, 1st said only White was available, so I hesitated due to wanting black, so we drove to the next BB where they said preorders at their store sold out on Saturday, drove to the next BB and was told ALL BB Verizon preorders were shutdown Friday night due to being oversold. Was told this by both BB employees and Samsung Mobile employees at all 3 stores. Was really pissed because the preorder hasnt even began on BB website for Verizon - has always said Coming Soon.

Ended up preodering at Costco - 1 black and 1 white.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alhadee12:
I know the phone is much higher through best than what saw at Verizon. The AT&T version is $825 and the Verizon version is $699.99.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oneandroidnut:
if you look at bestbuys website now off contract is $692 actually cheaper then verizon now. this is odd
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alhadee12:
Can you forward that link. Mine just showed $749.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MGK645:

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtrandrix:
I had the same experience... not able to Pre-Order online so I went into my local store. They said pre-orders were sold out as well. I called the Best Buy Mobile store and was surprised to hear him say they could pre-order black or white still. Ran up.. pre-ordered the phone!
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rushless:
Apparently BB allocations for the N4 are tapped out. Verizon obviously got the lion share of allocations.

Anybody thinking they will get the offer for full price sales are dreaming even more now.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tu3218:
Are you talking about the $200 off deal for full retain purchase of the note 4?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buhohitr:
The $200 deal is from Samsung so that stills good, just that Bestbuy is sold out with their limits so you can't pre order from them any more, but you could get N4 from Amazon or Verizon.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MGK645:
You're saying that you were able to pre-order at a Best Buy Mobile kiosk?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtrandrix:
Well in our mall Best Buy Mobile is like a very small mini store. Also have been reading reports that this promotion will jot work unless you do 2 yr contract or edge plan... However I clearly asked and made sure that I could purchase the Note 4 at full retail and receive the $200 trade in value on my Motorola Droid X.

Employee said that it says clearly when activation 2 year contracts when they do promotions like this but this promotion had none of that wording. Simply towards any "purchase". Got it all in writing and had them sign it so I would have a "leg to stand on" if for some reason that went against what they were telling me.

BTW they said they had several in both black and white they could still pre order and their store hadn't reached they're limit
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MGK645:
Good to know - thanks! We preordered at costco but would rather take part in the BB promo, will have to stop at the mobile kiosk at the mall tomorrow and check.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeremycase00:
Can anyone confirm that the $200 Best Buy gift card promo is on any working smart phone. I already have a preorder and was gonna trade in a Droid Maxx but if its any smart phone I have an old Droid X2 that still works I can trade instead.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MGK645:
Was told that it has to have a minimum value of $10 per BB Trade In website.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thegipper:
There is no mention of any minimum value of the smart phone you are trading in, just that it turns on, no cracks/water damage and has a working charging port for the BB $200 trade in promotion, the Samsung promotion does have that $10 language. I specifically asked this when I pre ordered my note 4. The only thing that they said was it may be difficult for them to accept a trade in that they can't find in their system. I brought an old HTC touch pro 2 and a US cellular motorola electrify. He couldn't find the HTC Touch pro 2 but found the Motorola. When I went home I went on BB website and was able to find the HTC touch pro 2 in their trade in program. My guess is the dopey kid couldn't spell it correctly as I had to tell him electrify is not spelt, electfy....

Hope this helps
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steve0617:
There is a VERY long thread going on at Android Central about this exact thing: http://goo.gl/x0OFC7

Consensus seems to be, if possible, match the Samsung terms when it comes to your trade in value (BB's system values it at least $10) in order to avoid any hassles.

But if the trade is less than $10, expect some headaches.

There have been many reports posted of local stores saying preorders are 'sold out' but then others have posted success in the last few days of in store preordering. The VZW BB website preorders have never been opened up so how they could be sold out is unknown.

No matter what, it's a total cluster right now. Be sure to familiarize yourself with Samsung's Terms and Conditions of their rebate so you don't accidentally mess something up, even if you intend to use the BB offer: https://samsunggalaxypromotions.com/note4/en-us/Rules

FAQ

FAQ

There is an FAQ now linked at the bottom of the Promotion website page (cant post a link). It is two pages long and does clarify some of the rules, but not all. It does tell you what a 'Participating Retailer" is. Basically any physical or online retailer taking Pre-orders.

It also goes into more details on the Best Buy rules.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] J3ff:
FAQ - https://samsunggalaxypromotions.com/note4/Content/Faq.pdf

"1. Do you have a list of participating stores?

Any store, online or physical retail location, offering pre-orders is considered a

participating retailer."

So in this case. Amazon is accepting pre-orders.

Verizon will give me 9 dollars for my Nexus 7 on sprint

Amazon will give me 30.

I am buying off of verizonwireless.com

According to their FAQ I should be all set... no?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steve0617:
Trade at VZW, then no, your rebate will be rejected. Trade at Amazon? You're fine.

Maybe order and trade at Amazon? Would save sales tax, yes? Granted, you'll probably wait a few extra days to get the phone.

EDIT: Note that Amazon requires chargers to be included in the trade in order to get the value they quote.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rushless:
Few things:

Best Buy allocations are both regionally and store based (hence why some have them and some do not).

The carriers get more allocations than Best Buy- for more than obvious reasons.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirtdigginjoe:
As a BestBuy employee, I pre-ordered mine yesterday while working. You can only pre-order in store. You put $50 deposit, which you get right back on a gift card. If you trade in any WORKING smartphone towards the Note 4 (any carrier), you receive $200 trade-in value. I have the receipts to confirm the pre-order.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thegipper:
I was assured by a store manager and several staff members in the phone department that any working smartphone, with no screencracks/water damage and a working charging port will be accepted, regardless of trade in value.

I think people are confusing the samsung promotion and Best buys promotion. For The samsung promotion, the phone you trade in to a retailer must be valued at $10 or greater.

There is no mention of value in any of the details of the best buy promotion, just the details I listed above. I have also wrote down the names of the best buy employee's that told me the value of the phone is irrelevant, so long as the other criteria is met.

My wife also preordered a Note 4 yesterday at our local best buy and it went through fine. I've been reading reports that they are out or are no longer taking preorders, that was not the case at the menomonee falls location in Wisconsin (as of yesterday)

I called them again and spoke to someone in customer service and they said to bring the charger for the phone also. This is the first time anyone said that it was needed. Either way I'll bring the old chargers too just in case. NO VALUE is needed on the trade in, he confirmed it again...

I hope this helps the confusion.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tu3218:
What about this deal with buying the phone at full retain? Best buy told me it had to be with an upgrade but I've confirmed with 3 Samsung employees via online chat that it DOES work with buying the phone at full retail and it works at Best Buy. Not sure if I should preorder or not. Samsung saying one thing, best buy saying another.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thegipper:
Not sure about that or not. I would print out the chat conversation with Samsung and bring it in to your local BB and see what they say then. Best buy probably has the final say on their own promotion though. As far as the samsung promotion, if samsung is saying that you can use their promotion when preordering the note 4 at full retail than samsung should honor it.

Good luck
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _ranch:
The trade-in app Best Buy uses will check for the preorder based on the phone number. As long as the phone is activated through BEAST under the phone number the pre-order was done with, the trade-in app should apply the promo. If buying at retail, the phone would have to be activated for this to work.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tu3218:
Sorry, I'm confused with what you're saying. I should have no issues preordering it. Do I tell them whether I'll be upgrading or buying full retail when I go in there? In my case full retail. I don't want to sign anything with Best Buy, cause knowing them, they'll screw up my unlimited data. I just wanted to preorder the phone, than walk in there on release day and buy phone for $700 - $200 for the old phone I'm trading in(not my current G3), so $500 and walk away not having signed anything(with regards to my verizon account). I shouldn't have to if I'm just buying full retail.

Not sure what you meant by activated through BEAST? And what do you mean if buying retail, phone would have to be activated for this work. What phone?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _ranch:
Sorry for being cryptic. Let me clarify a bit more.

BEAST is the system that BestBuy uses for activations with all the carriers (since the cover so many). In that system, your preorder is done. In your case, you did a "hardware only" preorder which means your account isn't being looked at. When you go to pickup your phone, the the preorder needs to be processed through BEAST which will do a hardware swap with your existing phone. That hardware swap is also the "activation" which is simply Verizon registering a new ICCID/IMEI. After that happens in BEAST, they will move to the trade-in app. During that trade-in app process, there will be an option for them to select for this particular promotion. That option in the trade-in app will go back and validation an activation was done to validate it meets the promotion criteria (I.E. working smartphone for trade-in and Note 4 was preordered). At no point will this affect your unlimited data. The only thing you'll sign is the return policy., so make sure to pay attention on the sign pad as to what you are signing. The trade-in app will issue a BestBuy gift card with $200 (unless your trade is worth more) that can be used when the phone is checked out at the POS.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MGK645:
Went to a local BB Mobile store at a mall, was able to pre-order a black and white Vzw Note 4 off contract. Manager said they will be taking ANY working smartphone for trade in.

I have to agree, this preorder/promotion is a complete cluster ****, as the BB store across the road from the mall was sold out and said trade ins must be valued at $10...
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tu3218:
Thanks for the information. Very informative. Will they try to issue me a new sim card? I guess when you say activation and Verizon registering a new IMEI, it gets me thinking. I believe what you're saying but it's the only thing really holding me back from doing this. I've heard horror stories about people thinking one thing was happen, than next they know they lost their unlimited data. I think also the problem at my best buy, they tried to tell me it required an upgrade to my verizon plan. But you're saying that's false, which also exactly what Samsung said. Sorry for making this a big deal. Just don't wanna lose that unlimited data lol And some of those best buy employees, they have no idea what they're talking about.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _ranch:
Buying a phone at retail does NOT affect unlimited data. What they are doing is a hardware only preorder. When going through things, make sure you read the sign pad. If you sign more than one time, something went wrong. Yes, you will be getting a new SIM but that has no bearing on unlimited data either.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tu3218:
Well I tried to preorder but best buy was done with verizon preorders. Unfortunately.

I Pre ordered mine today at the store. Only problem is that it was white only! I wanted CB! But he said to come in and they'll just change the color then! He said they should have enough allocated on Launch!
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Geronimo.USMC:
I was able to preorder last week at BB, & for the heck of it, I was able to order another at a different BB today. Both black, & both in NJ.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _ranch:
Best Buy's preorders are based on location, so not all stores might be sold out. I just did a preorder yesterday and both black and white were available. Make sure you check all Best Buy and Best Buy Mobile stores to see if they have any. You could have to look into a store farther away than what you would normally use.

---------- Post added at 06:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:45 AM ----------

They cannot promise they will be able to do that, but generally speaking this is accurate. Stores typically get in their preorders plus some units for non preorders. As long as you get to the store before they run out of non preordered units, you'll be fine. If you are worried about it, I would suggest going to the store even before they notify you of the preorder unit being available.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lazer9:
Well more deception and confusion given to me by yet another Best Buy - Mobile store I reached a bit further out to today to see if they would still do the pre-order along with accepting my Droid X as a trade in.

First off, surprisingly, the rep confirmed to me as of yesterday that they were locked out of pre-orders but he went back in his computer and checked and said they are opened back up to accept the pre-order as of today currently.

But here's the catch. When I referred to their trade-in offer being advertised on there website along with all the chatter on here ( I even directed him to view the discussions here on this site indicating folks promised for example, specifically their Droid X would be honored for acceptable trade in through Best Buy's program), he looked up that phone in there system and it holds a $0 value and told me it has to be a minimum of $10 to qualify and directed me straight to Samsung's promotional site for their trade in. I argued a bit with him noting that from everything both advertised by Best Buy and being discussed on the Interweb, that Best Buy's offer was accepting ANY working smart phone as long as the screen wasn't cracked nor water damaged and had nothing to do with Samsung's offer other than a person obviously couldn't also try to go to Samsung and get the credit through their advertisement after doing so with Best Buy.

So bottom line today's experience, Best Buy - Mobile in Boardman, OH is exclusively going with Samsung's wording and description on what is an allowable trade or not and is in no way adhering to not only what their website has been advertising but in difference to what people on here have reported.

All I can say is good luck to those committed to Best Buy's pre-order and trade in offer and when the time comes to submit your trade, I hope it's valued of at least $10.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtrandrix:
Although the outcomes...($200 trade in values) are the same and Best Buy may in fact be reimbursed to some extent from Samsung it's clear in the fine print that these promotions are somewhat different.

Yes this tread has made me second guess everything but at the end of the day no matter the promotion the Manager at each store is the final word. I had the manager put in writing that my Droid X model would be valid for trade in promotion and that it did not require a 2 year activation.

No clue who's right here. My local store...your local store... Best of luck to you all [emoji16]
