Yeah I'm wrong you're right. Smh theres another person in here who just confirmed what I said. And if you don't believe me call the store yourself.

In the am I'll post a pic of the receipt I have from when I got my note 4 on the 17th. It says zero.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] thatotherguy..:
I paid nothing out the door?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] bajasur:
Question,

I still owe 80 on my note 3 and want to jump to new device.

Did anyone who went the Costco route turn in their old phone when doing this? Did you have to pay off your old device on top of sales tax?

Thanks
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] d12unk13astard:
Just pay the 80 off and keep the note 3, why turn it in when you can sell it for a 300-500$ start a new jump and port your old number to the n4.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] bajasur:
Sorry, I should have worded that better. I owe 80 to meet the 50% of the device so that I can Jump to next phone. Just did this with my wife yesterday in Tmo store, would be awesome to do at Costco instead
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] mad82109:
They do. You just call tmo to pay up to upgrade. Then it shows up in the system n we do the upgrade.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] bajasur:
Awesome thanks a bunch, wonder if this will be same for nexus 6.:D

Edit: just called and they said no, interesting.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] zenko84:
Are they still doing this? And is it only for the Note 4 or all T Mobile phones?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] mad82109:
All phones. They closed at 6. How did you call??
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] bajasur:
I am in California, called an hour ago and spoke to a guy in the phone department said they won't be carrying nexus 6 at Costco :(
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] mad82109:
Oh yeah. We won't be carrying it unfortunately. Did he confirm the true 0 down?!?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] d12unk13astard:
Here in California we pay sales tax.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] zenko84:
This is great I'm going to Costco from now on for my phone addiction lol I'm in Chicago so I know I will have to pay sales taxes
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] bajasur:
Yep its a go for the Note 4!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] mastergrillo:
Costco' s in las vegas area dont have tmobile :(
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] im1badazchick:
Thanks to you guys, i went to Costco earlier and picked up 2 note 4. Though I was prepared to, I didn't have to pay any taxes at all, I'm in Katy Texas. I did notice that deal is over on Nov.11th so hurry up and get them guys!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] mad82109:
Doesn't end on the 11th. That's just something we use to make people buy. Lol
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] im1badazchick:
Lol that's good to know! I'll send my friend to get her's, she's always behind lol
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] teamnoa:
Question for mad82109: I picked up a Black Note 4 from Costco the other day, was hoping to get a White Note 4.

Any idea when you guys may receive any stock on the white units? I've been calling and checking in every couple of days at multiple costco wireless kiosks.

Would love to grab a white one.

Kind Regards!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] mad82109:
I don't think were getting the white one. The note 3 we only had the black. I'll let you know if it ever pops up in the system.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] z3r0t0l0rEnCe:
Is this for only the note 4?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] mad82109:
No. It works for any phone. Any carrier at Costco, as long as you're financing it, its a true zero down.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] zenko84:
Thanks to the OP I got my note 4 today. Yay!!!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] vicvon:
Just a question on how jump works for a tmobile rep. I have a galaxy s5 for about 6 months. I would think I owe about 75% left on the phone. Does this mean if I jump today, I have to pay 25% of what I owe to get the new phone?

Thanks in advance for any help.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] zenko84:
U don't have to jump to get the 0% off because I still have my s5 as well just giving it to my Lil brother since he on my account as well. But it depends on which jump plan u on
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] DigitalChris602:
You're welcome!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] DigitalChris602:
You're welcome! :)
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] DigitalChris602:
My understanding that that the sales tax part depends on the state your in, as some states actually require that you collect sales tax at the time of sale, even if you dont make a first payment to leave the store with the item. So far, Texas seems to be a state that lets you out the door no tax, Cali, and AZ charge sales tax to get out the door.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] mad82109:
Yes. Unless you're on the old jump. That only requires you to have the phone 6 months before upgrading. Otherwise you need to pay at least 50% of the phone.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] vicvon:
Thanks for letting me know. I have the old jump plan. AWESOME.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] BzeBwoi:
What if I need t-mobile to pay my ETF to At&t? Can this be done at Cotsco?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] ummduh:
And some states, like CA, make you pay sales tax on the full price of the phone, regardless of how it's sold. In CA we pay sales tax on the full price even if it's a "free" phone via subsidy.

I don't believe "most" states are like this.

Anyways, thanks for the thread!! I had no idea. Wife and I just went and picked up a note 4 for each of us. Was about $150 in sales tax. The local tmo store wanted like $300 down..

As far as the jump, we have to mail the old phones back to tmobile on our own. We got shipping labels but have to get our own packaging.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] AB33:
Costco's in Texas had a deal where they gave out $125 in mail in rebates to upgrade to the Note 4. I wasn't going to JUMP to the N4 but that deal and no sales tax forced my hand. I was actually considering the Note Edge but that would have been $75 in taxes and $5 more per month.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] DigitalChris602:
The Note Edge is a neat looking phone, but dropping it and busting that edge seems pretty risky.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Circledog:
In Minnesota you pay sales tax on the full price of the phone, otherwise zero down, no activation fee and you send in for a $25 Costco gift card. Plus you get the bonus car charger and holder. It took me an hour because they had a new guy and their computer kept crashing and the kiosk manager made me activate it in the store and make a test call. Total pain in the ass, but a better deal than the T-Mobile store and no crappy $10 SIM kit required.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Fidelio_o:
Is this still going on? Can't find anything about it online.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] ummduh:
Regular Note 4 doesn't hold up very well either. First drop. The Edge is going to be a nightmare.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] DigitalChris602:
As far as I know it's not a special, it's just a benefit for Costco members. I've never seen it asvertised, it's just sort of an inside thing. Call your local Costco and ask for the cell phone kiosk.

Note 4 T-Mobile
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] DigitalChris602:
Aw damn! Are you going to fix or replace?

Note 4 T-Mobile
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Jstunna:
thanks for the info, one down the street from my house! :)
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Fidelio_o:
So if my device is paid off I am qualified for an upgrade I can just walk in the store and finance a brand new note 4? Having paid just taxes?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] ummduh:
Gunna have to do the insurance thing. $175 deductible sucks. Will probably wait till after Christmas. Phone still works fine, touch sensitivity seems to be a little more than usual but otherwise fine even over the cracks.

I've been trying to buy a case for it but nobody has any locally.. Found what I wanted on amazon but just haven't ordered it. That'll teach me to procrastinate.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] flamebeats:
I have note 4 for sale $400
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] nickster1:
How destroyed is it to sell at that price???
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] vigilg:
Didn't work for me

It didn't work for me. Costco in Palm Desert, CA still wanted $400 deposit on each phone. Same as T-mobile corporate store wanted.

I also tried with my wife and she had a $200 deposit at the T-mobile store and still they asked for $400 deposit at Costco.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] justibasa:
I just did this. Really liking this phone.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] mad82109:
The deposit is dependent on T-Mobile. The 0 down with no taxes every member gets that. For example Tmobile wanted 375 up front for the note 4. Costco asked for 0 down.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] vigilg:
I see, I was trying to start new service. I started new service already. With my own phones. T-Mobile wants $420 for the Note 4 up front. Now if I go to Costco I can get the phone with no money down? Gonna have to try that now that I have service with T-Mobile. I Just got it yesterday. Should I wait?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] justibasa:
I actually went to tmobile to get the nexus 6 and they wanted 420 down. Costco didn't have the n6. So I got the note 4 instead for 0 down. I will always go there over a tmobile store now. The Tmobile reps were a-holes to me.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] vigilg:
It works!!!!

Ok, Just got back from Costco and got the Note 4 and the S5 for T-Mobile. Both with $0 down. I just paid the taxes.

Just remember that, if you want to establish new service, do it at a T-Mobile store. For some reason Costco was asking for $400 to activate new service and T-Mobile store did not want anything down to activate new service.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] almahix:
Warning

DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM THIS THIEF. He takes the money but doesn't ship anything. He is a scammer. Ask him where my Nexus 6 is.:rolleyes:
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] neonsector:
not sure how that return will work since you only got 14 days from tmobile to return, unless costco overwrites the policy
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] dito33:
With Costco 30 days returns and 90 days exchange.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Idolhands86:
Need to flash to stock?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] mad82109:
^no. I work there and we just check the phone for cracks and water damage.

---------- Post added at 01:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:32 PM ----------

Costco will let you return it in 90 days. We override the policy. Kinda gotta raise hell tho.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Idolhands86:
FYI: Just did this in Portland, OR. No sales tax, out the door for free($31/m). They gave a return slip and shipping label; I have 14 days to send in my Note 3. Also, the guy has been there years and knows I root. He thought that I should flash back to stock b4 sending.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Fidelio_o:
Yeah, did this with my wife's phone and my note 4 walked out the door having paid just taxes. Definitely making Costco my preferred location for buying phones going forward.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] whymista:
What course of action would be best to get them to do let us return it after 14 days. My fiancee and I got new phones from costco three weeks ago. I have a note 4 and she has an Iphone 6. She is always having issues with the calls dropping and battery life. They said she could exchange it for an Iphone 6+ as they didn't have any iphone 6 in stock but not to the note 4 which seemed odd.

---------- Post added at 12:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:09 AM ----------

Also I can confirm that in Texas you pay $0 out the door as we don't pay taxes on the initial cost of the device. Just have to be sure your account isn't past due and you do not owe on any phones on the account. This was as of like 3 or 4 weeks ago.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] mad82109:
Just tell them the customer letter states you can return the device within 90 days if you're not satisfied. Which Costco are you going to? You shouldn't have any problems.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] whymista:
The one in Arlington. I'll have to go back then, we couldn't do it that day for hers anyway because we had left the accessories that came with it. I'll definitely be going there from now on for phones and its better than dealing with the usual t-mobile stores and the associates there.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] jhernandez9881:
Is Costco still doing the $0 down for tmobile phones regardless of credit?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] mmarcz:
Correct! It's a great deal.
[Verizon LG G2] RBarnett09:
My LG G2 (Verizon/VS980) was rooted on stock OS 24A. TWRP was installed as recovery.

This phone took a software update and now it's stuck in TWRP recovery. Help please.

Root no longer matters as long as I can get an OS back running on it.

Thank you.
[Verizon LG G2] abdel12345:
If you have twrp it'll be easy to get it back on. First if you made a twrp backup just restore it. If not then

Second of all do you have any Roms on your internal memory? If so just install one through twrp.

Third if u have none of those you can either side load a rom through twrp and flash it.

Or you can go back to stock using this thread which should work 100% but you'll lose any data you had on your phone including pictures and other media http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2448960

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Coronado is dead:

It's called Moto Display now, you can turn it off by going to the Moto app and hitting Display.

I got my one m8 from the rogers a month or two ago . now signal off the bat was weakish, between 1-3 bars of cell signal.

I have tried to change to at&t radio with minor success.

Now im positive this is not a signal issue but an m8 issue , as I live by a giant cell tower and haven't had such weak signal from a phone ever.

This is my only gripe about this phone . I'm pretty sure this is cause by the aluminum body.

How is your guys cell signal ?

I'm on Telus and my M8 is in par with my wifes Moto X signal strength. I'm quite pleased. We've had troubles with past devices out here in the boonies. ?

I felt this was more geared towards a discussion , I guess some discussion are initiated by a question. So maybe you are right
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
The number of signal bars means close to nothing. There is no standard to what these depict, and the manufacturer/carrier can make them mean whatever they want.

You need to go to Settings>About>Network, and look under Signal Strength in dBm for a real reading of what your signal strength is. Higher number is better. Since its a negative number, a lower absolute value is better.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] dhinged:
I was playing with the Droid Turbo at Verizon today, and was surprised to see lag using Chrome and other apps. It just doesn't run as snappy as the new Moto X. I then read an article that the Snapdragon 805 chip can handle Quad HD (2560x1440), but really only by itself and not well with other things going on in the background (like animating one thing on top of another).

http://appleinsider.com/articles/14...er-poor-graphics-performance-vs-iphone-6-plus

I realize this is a pro-Apple website, but I believe my eyes in the real world over a website, and the Droid Turbo lagged behind the Moto X 2014 and the HTC One M8. I would say it ran comparable to the LG G3, which I also noticed lagged more than the M8.

If it's true that these manufacturers are choosing a high resolution just because it's advertised without checking real-world performance, then it's a disappointment, because they could have gone with a lower resolution and gotten better performance, speed, and battery life (and it's not performing for 2 days in reviews as advertised), at a compromise of a hardly-noticeable change in pixel resolution. I couldn't even tell a pixel difference between the Droid MAXX (720), the Moto X 2014 (1080), and the Droid Turbo (1440) without getting close and squinting, and they're all 5" screens.

Can someone root their Droid Turbo and lower the resolution to 1080 to see if they get a better frame rate and battery life? I'm thinking of doing that but I'm not sure what I lose.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] geoff5093:
The LG G3 is the same QHD resolution but with the older 801. No lag for me there either. I think it's just you.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] dhinged:
I think I just notice it whereas you don't, lucky you. I've been doing this since 320x240, I can tell you when a game or TV show is running less than 60 frames per second (and when a game is 30fps as opposed to a TV show at 24fps, like Seinfeld), whereas I've noticed other people either don't notice or barely notice. If you're the type that doesn't notice, good for you, but the more apps you install and more things you do on the phone, the more it will be compromised with an underpowered chip.

I can tell by how quickly you responded you either didn't read the article or for long.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] dhinged:
If nobody else notices, great, back to my question: Will someone who roots the phone please leave a review of the phone at 1920x1080 as far as performance and battery life?

I know there are people on this forum who can tell the difference in frame rates, and lag will bother them. I'd love to know how you improved the phone (the Moto X 2014 still impressed me the most at the store, though I want more battery life).
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] mobilehavoc:
Just wait until Lollipop hits this phone. It is buttery smooth on Nexus 5 so can't wait for this phone to get. Also BTW I notice no lag either.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] disc.ordian:
I usually notice these things as well (I did with the g3, which is why I didn't get it), but with the store demo or the one in my hand, I see absolutely no lag so far.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] joshm.1219:
There's no way to root the phone
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] BAYOUREBEL:
No lag on my Droid Turbo

It seems really snappy and is way faster than my old G2 i had. I will never use another LG phone cause I went through 3 of the G2s. I too cant wait for Lollipop to come to the Turbo..
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] dhinged:
Well, not yet anyway.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Xelios029:
I dunno, my phone feels super smooth. Pretty much like playing a game at 60fps. Haven't noticed a bit of lag yet other than in the camera's viewfinder. I guess every model will differ a bit here and there though.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] dhinged:
Well, I guess I got the only three laggy Droid Turbos at Verizon, because they were consistent this way, and the other phones were consistent their way, and if I had to choose without knowing anything else about the phones but what I saw there, I would have chosen the Moto X 2014. I'm still just banging my head on the wall with the decision to use 2560x1440 on a 5" screen, when that's not even noticeable to me or most people without squinting up close, and the battery life (and apparent performance) loss that just goes with an increase in resolution. The more pixels, the more power.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] droidkevlar:
I own the G3 and the turbo. There is 0 lag on this thing. Compared to Tue G3, it runs laps around it. Everything is just faster and smoother
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Xelios029:
I didn't play with the display model, but maybe it's a demo mode thing? I know they have all that junk loaded onto it to showcase the device. Might be bogging down the system there.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] pjd2011:
As a huge supporter of this phone and someone who has been waiting a long time to have it in hand.... it has hiccuped on me a few times through transitions. ONLY minor hiccups, though. The CPU intensive things fly. Leaps and bounds better than any of my prior Android devices.

Overall it's performance has been way beyond that of my M7, G2, and Moto G of the past year. I'm going to play around with spare parts and what not. Maybe I can speed up animations even more.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] dhinged:
Thank you for the intelligent replies here; with all the trolling on Twitter and YouTube and terrible replies I get at lesser forums, these have been the most intelligent (and actually cogent) replies I've gotten to tech issues I've posted in a long while.

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] tomkins0752:
I also noticed the floor models lagging a little bit when I went to get my Turbo today.

After loading all my apps and disabling that garbage Verizon bloat, its smooth as can be.

I Edged up from my G3 and have zero regrets. :good:
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Not_A_Dev:
Undoubtedly, this device would probably perform in top-form if it were rooted, with an unlocked bootloader. Unfortunately, with the most recent discovery of the root exploit for some Sammy/Moto devices (towelroot) Qualcomm and Moto have made damn sure that from here on out, exploits like that won't happen again (or as easily). I figure with 3 Gigs of RAM, a quad-core CPU, and hopefully Lollipop down the line, we will have a beast of a device that will take us through 2 more years of minimized lag, before something better is invented.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] jamezr:

Did you read the article? It's completely backed up by technical specs and facts. Theyre not hating just to hate. The iphone 6+ has been regarded by many non baised review sites as the smoothest graphics of any phone.

Read the article, it has useful info. Theyre pushing display resolution ahead of chipset performance and its showing.
