[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demize!:
OK I appreciate that. Looks like Ill have to give them a call for the 50 odd bucks as its been a long while and no credit. At least they would have sent the unit back if it did'nt qualify I assume. Though it met all their specs. Im thinking the moisture detector might have been the reason. It had indicated even though it was never immersed or wet at all, but the phone worked fine.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SMARTPHONEPC:
Nexus 6 supposedly has similar-comparable specs to Note4 (even expected to have a 5.9" QHD screen on same size handset & its Android L should be noticeably snappier), the Note4s I tried at BestBuy were not flawelessly snappy but were only in demo modes. I expect we'll learn more about the Nexus6 by 10/15.

The last time I considered a Nexus was back when Samsung made the Nexus S & I used it right next to the EVO 4G in the other hand which I chose instead in part due to its better speaker & larger screen which could be the reverse this year if the Nexus 6 indeed has a 5.9 screen & dual front facing speakers (I'd still have the Note2 for stylus purposes though I can't deny I always prefer removable batteries, expandable storage & Note4s enhanced multitasking stylus functionality).

I do think the Nexus6 could be more secure without the removable battery-storage as much as I like those features & out of the box Android L (that I'm frankly not sure I visually love except for its snappiness) so maybe I'll get both. As far a security, I only have face unlock & backup PIN but never set up the Note2s encryption for concerns it would slow me down & be less convenient when I want to pop out the external SD card for my pc but the idea that if my handset is lost-stolen & sdcard data is unencrypted bothers me so I'm more interested in security now if anyone cares to comment on their approach. I heard that Android L's default encryption is based on Samsung's Knox

While I never leave phones stock I usually just immediately change launchers, my current Note2 is rooted but have not played around with different ROMs as once I saw all the customizeability-gestures-transition effects of GO Launcher I was satisfied but when I tried GO Launcher quickly on the Note4 I didn't like it as much though didn't have the time to set it up like I have it on my Note2 so not sure yet what I'd stick with there. When I was at BestBuy other Note2 owners there were surprised when they saw how different mine looked even if the Note4's TW bothered me less yet I'm sure I'll customize it heavily which is another reason I find Android so superior to Apple that seems primarily interested in their brand look & trapping users in their less open ecosystem-business model.

Anyone successfully use or how do they plan to use this promo for a T-Mobile Note4 & would anyone consider an AT&T Note4 for the BestBuy promo that they plan to use on T-mobile?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iunlock:
ATT? No. I wouldn't as you will not be able to use one of the T-Mobile frequencies. It wouldn't be worth it unless you are 99% (always) in an area that has strong LTE. Even then...I wouldn't bother with an ATT phone.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SMARTPHONEPC:
T-Mobile it is even if handset is more expensive it seems

OK Thanks, AT&T in my particular neighborhood is not great, T-Mobile is far better but worried about if I move. Is it true the T-mobile Note4 would work well on AT&T's network (although I'll likely be here for another 2 years I'd like to understand my options), I heard sometimes T-Mobile handsets with same frequencies supported still may not have solid reception (due to lack of software optimization) on AT&T?

BTW, I edited my last post a bit to elaborate why I like Go Launcher with its all its customizeability-gestures-transition effects but I also use & like the Google Now Launcher on my Note2, I just haven't set it up as extensively yet as Go Launcher & will also try that the next time I check out the Note4 at BestBuy likely this weekend.

While I heard the Nexus 6 is about the same size as Note4 this article suggests it may be closer to the largest Samsung Mega which by the way I also liked in my hand but the specs there are obviously no match for the Note line unlike as expected in the Nexus 6:cool:

I also still haven't heard a good reason why T-Mobile doesn't partner up with BestBuy while all their competition does.. Hopefully people will post their successful experiences soon with this promo utilizing T-Mobile's model..:highfive:
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iunlock:
Yes indeed. I hope for the best for everyone as well with the promo.

As for T-Mobile and Best Buy, it must be some kind of an agreement issue or something along those lines. Who knows...

The difference between a TM phone and an ATT phone is bands 1700MHz and 1900MHz. While all the other can work, these two that differ will bring you the limitations.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dn3g3l:
are you sure about this? there is already a shipping label once you submit the trade in online.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iunlock:
Correction: You're right. This you can use as well for the trade in receipt.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gotojanoo:
here is my puzzle lol. Ordered on the phone as well as trade in.

I can see my order in my account on t-mobile.com but there is no way to print actual receipt for preorder and tradein. I called tmo for receipts. ANd they emailed me order status . (So fcking frustrating). Then I chated online for receipt. Rep gave me a trade in tracking number as well as shipping label. Yes from that tracking I was able to printout that shipping label and all trade in info. I hope that samsung will count that as a receipt.other wise I don't see really positive. Can't believe that they can't price us a real receipt.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hcyplr29:
Someone was asking earlier about the cheapest phone to trade in. I just got a quote for this (my first android by the way)

Motorola MB860 Atrix 4G - AT&T

trade-in value

$11.00

Was keeping it for sentimental value but for $200, I can let it go.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SMARTPHONEPC:
Great luck there my EVO 4G is only worth $6 & I'd not trade in my perfectly configured rooted Note2:).. also interested in the least expensive (or most economical) eligible phone that can still be currently purchased for this $10 minimum value trade in..

Articles are suggesting preorders could be arriving to some tomorrow or Tuesday & likely be in T-Mobile stores as well but will feel more confident once the Nexus 6/X is announced ~10/15.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iunlock:
Was that quote for your Atrix in store? Try calling....often times they quote you more....that phone should be more than $11.

The Promo at BestBuy excludes Tmo version if anyone was interested in that. I think best way to take advantage of it that way is to get the AT&T version and SIM unlock it to Tmo. Then of course you would not have working Wifi Calling (correct me if I'm wrong). Sad we won't get instant $200.

When/How do I get the trade-in receipt?

This morning I ordered (by phone) the Charcoal Black N4. When I questioned having to pay for shipping, and reminded her that we've been with T-Mobile for 13 years, she offered free next-day delivery.

She also confirmed the T-Mobile website's $10 valuation of the Kyocera Event (Black) C5133, which I bought Sunday for $19.98 plus tax. (This is the on-line price. The physical Walmart where I bought it listed it at $29.98. The sales clerk need a manager's permission to "match" their own website. If you try this and have difficulty, note that Walmart's "site to store" delivery option enables you to order on line at the website price for in-store pickup.)

But neither the emails I've received from T-Mobile nor the Order Status page at My Account says anything about the trade-in. (I do have a text message from the sales rep saying merely "Device Trade In Completed.") According to the sales rep, when the N4 ships I should receive an email that will contain the trade-in information. Can any one verify this?

BTW, I tried to avoid this by ordering from a store. First, I discovered that most T-Mobile stores in the Greater Boston area only do deferred, not instant, trade-ins. Second, the one marginally convenient store told me that instant trade-ins are available only for new customers, not for those, like me, upgrading from an existing phone.

The stores only take your trade in if they have the phone you wanted in stock. They lied about for new customers as well, all the stores in my local brooklyn ny area never gave me that bs.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bitbang3r:
If T-Mo, AT&T, Sprint, and Verizon are all offering trade-in prices that are below $10, but uSell is offering $13.44, is there any way to qualify for Samsung's $200 deal? Can independent T-mo stores be induced to offer that last extra dollar to bring it up to $10 (say, paying the salesperson $50 to eat the $1 loss on the trade), and would Samsung accept it if they did?

It's kind of symbolic for me. I hated my Sprint Photon 4G more than any phone I've ever owned in my life, and being able to trade it in would let me finally get a sense of healing closure that Motorola never allowed me to have. I really DON'T want to trade in my old S3, because it's probably the most meaningfully hackable phone I've ever owned & I'd rather keep it around as my backup phone so I won't be phone-less when reflashing.

Lol. Trusty old atrix. I was repurposing it as a dashcam which has come in handy several times. I ordered a 2nd gen moto g to replace my atrix for dashcam. Samsung better come through with this promo or I'll be pissed.

---------- Post added at 12:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:45 PM ----------

Go online and do trade in. I believe there is an option for T-Mobile to price match trade ins. Or perhaps call it in. I am quite sure you can find the right rep to bump up your trade in to a minimum $10. T-Mobile probably doesn't care about the promotion but they do want your business. Telling them $10 or else should probably work.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RebDovid:
T-Mobile will price-match, but not in a way that helps. I have a Samsung Vibrant for which T-Mobile will give only $7.00 while Best-Buy, IIRC, will give just over $20. The T-Mobile rep with whom I spoke said T-Mobile will price match and give me an additional $50. But, he said, they only can do it by way of a credit against my bill, without giving me anything I can use as a receipt for Samsung. In other words, as I understand it, I'd get something showing $7.00 for the Vibrant and the balance in unattributed credits.

Not wanting to trade-in my SIII, I bought a Kyocera Event C5133 at Walmart for $19.98 plus tax, for which T-Mobile will give me $10.00. Although the Kyocera is not in stock on-line, the website showed me local stores at which I could buy it. There, the posted price was $29.98. A store manager agreed to sell it to me for the website price. I don't understand why it had to go to a manager: one of the on-line options is "site to store" delivery at the website price.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] @rbiter:
My bad. Glad you clarified it. Seems best option is buying an el cheapo phone then. Still can come out way ahead.

I ordered online and guess I'll just have to print The order status page and hope that I'll get the rebate. It doesn't even say preorder but it does Show a backorder date of 9/29 and hope they'll be smart enough to know that l couldn't have purchased the phone on that date.

Still not sure about this thread's deal. I called a couple T-Mobile stores today & both received the T-Mobile demos in Black & White, one had them out already but both won't sell it until Friday. Since I have a prepaid $30 unlimited data & text & 100 min voice plan ( 100 minutes talk | Unlimited text | First 5 GB at up to 4G speeds ), I was informed that the prepaid full price was $769 vs &749 (+ applicable sales tax).

Check that you have entered each digit of the IMEI or HEX MEID correctly. Please note,

you may also need to remove the ‘0x’ from the “HEX MEID” at the beginning of the

number before entering. If you continue to receive an invalid IMEI/HEX MEID message

and believe you have a valid offer claim, you can mail in you offer claim with the Official

As of right now, due to the uncertainty of what is valid and what is not, I'd just send them everything you can showing proof of your pre-order and trade-in. Those can all be obtain via myTmobile. It's all there.

I spoke with customer service this morning and they have been informed by Samsung that the information found in myTmobile showing this information is eligible. That is from the horses mouth. Just to make sure, I will be calling back and recording the call myself to have additional proof of this claim.

What a backward ass way to do things. Rather than fix the problem I have to jump through more hoops. I'm sending one in next day USPS to them lets see what they have to say then and also included a screenshot of my phone with the imei and wifi mac address so they can't talk nonsense.
