[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrimSin:
My Geek Squad Protection plan hit the jackpot. I received a junk-out for my Galaxy S III (if you've had multiple issues with a replacement, they sometimes just end the plan and give you store credit for the value) Combined with a price match to the retail price from the sprint store, my Note 4 was 20 bucks off contract ;)

I traded in my Samsung moment. it was in pristine condition I kind of hated to get rid of it as it was my first Samsung phone :(
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uapyro:
I had the same luck, but with a Note 2. They gave me $700+ for the phone, then there was the $200 instant rebate. But since I had to trade a phone in, I found an HTC Hero on Amazon prime for $29, so I got $700+$200-$29-$50 (deposit)+$50(for signing up saying I'd buy a phone this year). I still kept the HTC Evo3D I had to use for a week after they cashed my Note 2 in since I'm still fond of the gimmicky 3D screen/camera.

I could have gone no contract if I wanted, but I figured I might as well since it didn't make a price difference to me. Instead that got me 2 Note 4s, 3 cases, belt clip, a digital camera, and a few other things instead. And i still have one line that has an upgrade available. And if I want out I can just go out into the country where my parents live and roam while poolside and let Sprint cancel me.

You guys are getting me excited!!! How exactly do I do the Best Buy trade in? do I have to go to a store or can I just do it online?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ssamboy:
Should I trade in a Galaxy Nexus in perfect condition for $11 with $189 from Samsung or an HTC EVO 4G LTE in fair condition for $19 with $181 coming from Samsung? My kids will get the one that I keep as a toy. Kids are 1, 3, and 5. I already traded in their Nexus S for my first trade in, and this trade in is for my moms account. Cant decide, but i need to get it done. Thanks

Went into BB to get the 200. deal, I was planning to get a $19. smartphone prepay to trade in and they told me I could not, it had to be a phone from a carrier for trade. Anyone else encounter this?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danielddube:
Do they accept phones with cracks on screen but work fine. I have a s3 that i was hoping to trade in before the deadline...
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nazman23:
No cracked screens it's in the small print "Devices with cracked screens are not considered working devices for purposes of this offer" also "Not all products are eligible for trade-in. Not available in all locations and some stores may have additional limitations. Trade-in value may vary. Condition, documentation and accessories may affect value."
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uapyro:
Best Buy does not, but I've seen posts elsewhere with some carriers that offered more than $10 for a phone with a cracked screen.

I was told this by my store, by 3 different people. Since I was good friends with one of them, I figured what they were saying was true. I went and got an HTC Hero from Amazon for $29 (with free 2 day prime shipping).

From what I saw online, if you try to get the phone before Nov 1 (today), and they don't have it, the deal would still apply. So if you can find a Best Buy that doesn't have the phone you want in stock, tell them you want it, make sure the $200 deal would work preferably in writing, and then go to Amazon and find a phone that is branded for your provider.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nazman23:
I was told by BB manager "no rain checks" says so in the ad too. They are out of stock online and in store. They said they may extend the offer but won't know till Sunday.

[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chad.wray:
HI

I was hoping to use the tablet Z2 as an "ac" wifi usb modem for my computer.

Does anyone know how to add the option for "mobile network sharing" under the "settings", "more" button?

Specifically the "usb network setting"

I am guessing, as this is a wifi only unit, Sony didn't bother to add it.

Can I/someone get the settings from the 3g model img?

I am not sure how, I have rooted and flashed roms, but not much else.

I do have titanium backup if some can make a back of that setting/system file.

Any help / advice would be appreciated.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fimbulvetr_nears:
Hi all,

So I recently acquired a Japanese Android tablet for free from a friend, called the Smile Semi. I can't post a link but if you search for "Justsystems Smile Semi" an english article will be near the top. It's designed for elementary school students, so it comes with a heavily rewritten version of Android made my JustSystems. It does have some basic menus that are stock Android, but it's not entirely clear how to access the recovery partition and bootloader. I'm sorry I can't provide more information, I can't really find any comprehensive info in English, If anyone has experience with this device I'd appreciate some advice, and if not, any advice on how I should proceed to tinker with it myself would be very appreciated. Thanks!

I have a Samsung galaxy S5 my carrier is net10 but the model # is g900t. I rooted my phone it worked fine, i messed it up when i flashed a different firmware and bootloader, the finger print scanner didn't work. so I flashed a stock firmware for g900t thinking that it would work but that just made my phone change carrier to t-mobile. Now i have t-mobile stuff on my phone that came stock when i unrooted. my phone still works and and all but is there perhaps a way to get my original firmware and modem back? Could i back up a rom of an exact identical phone non-root and flash it into my phone that way too? Is there an firmware for unbranded my phone? please any help would be greatly appreciated.

[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Johnny Wong:
If you are purchasing straight from Verizon then it is most likely going to be a 2014 model with the latest software. In my case, I purchased from Best Buy online to keep my unlimited data and it came with 4.2.2 with a build date from October 2013 if I remember correctly.

Hmm. Hadn't thought of that, which is funny since every corner store in Canada seems to retail phones now... I'm actually sending someone to do this for me while they're across the border and it has to be easy, because they don't know anything about phones. :fingers-crossed:

I haven't decided whether to pick up another Mini as a parts donor, or go with a Maxx and give in to "biggerness". I believe the former is still identical, but didn't the Maxx get a refresh that changed the case/trim and the flash size?

Trying to set custom boot and shutdown animation but it seems I've only got 32Mb left on the system partition. How can I overcome this problem?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Henri Blanche:
I hate to be obvious; but clearly you need to find out which apps have consumed your storage space. Some likely suspects include Kindle, Audible and Zedge. And then you need to do some serious file backup and/or deletion.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] constantG:
I'm fairly positive that apps that I've downloaded and installed reside on the internal sdcard but the system partition is separate to it. I beleive this to be true because although I have only got 32MB space on the system partition, I can still install a game like Super Stickman Golf 2 without any problems. I do not have an external sdcard installed on my device.

If the above is correct, I still need this question answered, thanks for your input though. :)

I just ordered a Moto X Developer Edition, and I am wondering how hard it is to root it? I am a newbie when it comes to Android. I have looked over the sticky threads concerning the root process, and I just want to make sure that I can do it easily without bricking my phone.

Thanks for any advice!

[Moto X Q&A] fivehead1:
Thank you very much!
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
For ALL Developer Editions Moto X, and some carrier editions (Like T-Mobile, Sprint, Rogers and others), Motorola freely gives away the BootLoader Unlock codes when requested On Motorola's Web SIte. In the case of the Non-Developer Editions, it voids their warranty to request the code. However, for some carriers (like ATT, Verizon and republic Wireless in the USA) motorola does not give out the unlock code.

So when you get your X, try to get the unlock code from Moto's web site. Then....

If you can get the code, and unlock the bootloader, you can root and disable write protection no matter what ROM is on your phone.

After have an UNLocked boot loader, you may root by following -> http://xdaforums.com/moto-x/moto-x-qa/instructions-unlocking-rooting-dev-ed-t2649738 Please be sure to use the latest TWRP fastboot IMG file and Installable ZIP of SuperSU
