ive read on the best buy forums there have been mixed results on doing this in store with random tablets because they are not in the system. i have read that people who complain on the best buy forum, and with an admin/ cs rep responding, will get success because apparently the rep is contacting the store directly to have them push the trade in through.

i love my launch day moto xoom but love the nexus 9 a bit more .. ;)

I don't know about today but I was able to take advantage of the promotion yesterday afternoon. There were no issues. As soon as the BB employee starts the trade in process their screen pops up with the promotion (she showed me.) The steps are they asses the value of your trade in. Mine was $29, on the next screen is when the promotion happens.
[Nexus 9 General] badwiring:
It didn't go smoothly at Best Buy, but we worked through it. First the employee said that my tablet was an ineligible model. I knew it was eligible because I had checked on their site. Fortunately I had bought that tablet there two years ago so they had a record of it. (Oddly, they needed help finding out about the advertised deal on that one when I bought it.) Then he said it was eligible for a $43 trade-in. But eventually he got it sorted out. I don't think there were any bad intentions, just a lack of communication.
[Nexus 9 General] Louie998:
My experience has not gone smoothly either. They only had the black 32gb version in stock at my local best buy. I am currently looking for either of the 32gb versions. There are none available within 200 miles of me and the customer service rep I talked to in the store, and the manager, said I was SOL and there was nothing they could do about it.

Still looking intently for my Nexus 9, although I did do the trade in and I have the coupon and the gift card. Here's to hoping I can find one before the coupon expires on 12/6.
[Nexus 9 General] badwiring:
It calls to mind the often mistranslated saying, 'an exception strengthens the rule.' Declaring an exception (tablets not accepted) implies that there are no other exceptions. I'm only mentioning it because good examples of the principle don't come along often. (Although they did attach some fine print allowing for other exclusions.)

So far I'm very pleased with the tablet. I've mostly used 10 inch tablets. 8 is too small. This is perfect. $400 seems like too much but that's why I never pay full retail for anything.
[Nexus 9 General] aaronc_98:
Good Experience Today

I ended up trading in a Nex 7 for the deal, and walked out with a Nexus 9 for $329.99 + tax. They gave me the $100 (credit $50 discount and $50 gift card), they let me use the gift card towards the purchase, and I found Amazon selling the Nex 9 for $429, so they price matched it to get the starting price. So all in all, I think that it was a good deal for a $150 Discount.-- Happy...

I took advantage of this deal on Thursday night when they opened .

Went to sears bought the cheapest tablet they had $39.99

Then I proceeded to best buy to trade it in.

After waiting in line forever in the mobile section , they stated they had no idea about the promotion , once I showed them the link they proceeded to evaluate my brand new tablet for trade in (this was some off brand POS) once they realized that they couldn't find it they said that it wasn't eligible. Then I showed the the part where it says any tablet is eligible for this promotion as long as its not an E-reader .

At that point they could not locate the promotion in their system to process the trade it for the $100, they said it was only some locations .

The manager knocked $100 off the nexus 9 and told me to take my tablet with me .

I then returned the 39.99 tablet back at sears the next day

I did this exchange on Black Friday without issue. Traded in my 2012 Nexus 7 and got a 32gb black Nexus 9. I wanted a white 32gb but they were sold out. The associate told me I have a 30 day return/replacement policy. I love the Nexus 9, however I have the spongy back issue and some lightbleed at the top of the screen. Do you think it's safe to do the swamp now or should I wait another week or so hoping my local Best Buy gets new production models in with the solid back, better buttons, less lightbleed? Is there anyway to verify S/N or production date without opening the box?
[Nexus 9 General] USBhost:
My nexus 9 was built on the 10/17/2014

I got vary little light bleed

buttons are just fine

And a flexing back :: but do you know that that meens

I got more room for add ons hahahaha !!!! Lol

But any way to answer your question

Just to look at the seral, no need to open the box

Also look at this
[Nexus 9 General] mrshades812:
Well, you have until 1/15 to return any item purchased after 11/1. So we all have a little time to return our tablets if we got them from best buy.

How to install:download attachment.1) Download zip file (Samkeyboard.zip) from the link below.2) Using root explorer or same kind of tool, place these files and set the permissions -Only Deodexed. (Screenshots yet to come)Touchwiz.xml put in /system/etc/permissions and set permission to rw-r--r-- (I have attached a screenshot, see it if you dont understand the permission stuff)libdhwr.so put in /system/lib and set permission to rw-r--r--libXt9_core.so put in /system/lib and set permission to rw-r--r--T9db folder(with all files inside, copy this whole folder)*put in /system and set permission to rwxr-xr-xAxT9IME.apk put in /system /app and set permission to rw-r--r--

I've found (somewhere, I can't remember where) a zip file with all the files mentioned above. so I installed it on dirty unicorns, wipe cache, dalvik, fix permissions and it works! but it isn't the same keyboard of my old rom, it is samsungkeybord of ICS (quite old..). So I extracted NeatRom zip, but the files I need dont exist! (I extract it on windows and try to "search", so I'm pretty sure there is nothing). In preload/symlink/system/app the only apk that reminds to a keyboard is "SamsungIME.apk" but it refuses to install on KK and pushing it to system/app of the new rom seems to be useless.. Here the zip file and SamsungIME.apk, maybe can be useful.. Some advices? Thank you.

i cant post any link here as im a new user but you can go to youtube and search "Note Edge Flip Wallet Qi Wireless Charging (DIY)" to check it out

i cracked open the original samsung qi wireless back and attach the qi receiver to the flip wallet back, anyone is interested in more details please let me know
[Note Edge Accessories] Enigmatosis:
Guide?

I would love if you could go over the steps on how you integrated the receiver into the flip cover. In the video I see the flip wallet clock still works since it's tied to the magnet in the cover, not the back cover contacts (got creative with the Gear Circle to test this). Does NFC work correctly?
[Note Edge Accessories] kirkla79:
Also curious of NFC works.
[Note Edge Accessories] bignibb:
I have a wireless charging back for my note 3, can I use that?
[Note Edge Accessories] Rudolpht:
Very interested in this answer. Would be a good dolar savings to reuse the innards and would be a great combo with the leather case (like the video.).
[Note Edge Accessories] copysat:
Steps and pic if possible?
[Note Edge Accessories] ojcool:
sorry guys I've been busy past few days couldn't reply earlier. for your questions:

1. NFC works perfectly

2. Require the original note edge qi receiver (from the original case as there is no 3rd party qi receiver out there yet) as you can see below the qi receiver connectors need to match the phone's terminals (i.e. the L shaped below the sd card slot and the one above the battery
[Note Edge Accessories] ojcool:
and regarding steps, unfortunately i did not take video or pix while cracking open the original case and attaching to the flip wallet but i''ll try my best to explain here

1. this is how the original case looks like (pic1)

2. use a knife to start cracking the 4 corners then sides of the plastic piece in the middle which has the qi receiver attached underneath and this is how it looks after detaching it from the case (of course the qi receiver should be there too but mine is already glued to my flip wallet now) (pic2)

3. you should fine the qi receiver is glued to the plastic piece (the left one in pic2) but can be removed easily (with care also!) by hand

4. on the flip wallet you should see a chip attached to it (pic3) please make sure that is removed before attaching the qi receiver on it as one of the qi connectors is at the same spot so without removing the chip on the flip wallet you can't attach your phone properly to the wallet

5. after removing the chip, place the qi receiver on the flip wallet at the same positions as where the connectors should be touching the phone's terminals (pic4)

6. DONE!

NFC works, wireless charging works and edge panel responds to the flip wallet cover! do it at your own risk but it is pretty straight forward!

ENJOY!
[Note Edge Accessories] krazieboy:
Are you using the original qi back plate for the note 4?
[Note Edge Accessories] JoganJani:
No that is original Qi back for Edge. Note 4 terminals are in different place. You can get that from Korea. Or eBay for $37+$19 shipping.
[Note Edge Accessories] ojcool:
that is correct, note 4 has different terminals than note edge. and for your information, i have checked with 2 companies which manufactures 3rd party qi receivers for samsung phones both said they do not have plan yet on making one for edge (guess from profit perspective edge is a limited production phone) and that is why i went ahead to DIY one using the original note edge qi case
[Note Edge Accessories] krazieboy:
OOooooo I wasn't aware the edge had qi charging plate!. thanks!
[Note Edge Accessories] kirkla79:
Did you use any special glue to attach the qi receiver to the case?
[Note Edge Accessories] xile6:
From the pictures it looks like he used a type of frabic tape.

I'm sure he will chime in with that he did.

I thought about doing this from the start , I don't like the thickness of the charging backs. So I was going to rip the guts out and put in on the OEM back.

But that's alot of money just to rip it apart.

I had the thin small pad for my Note 3 and it only cost about $10. So I think I'll wait on the note edge buntil they get the thin pads aslo.
[Note Edge Accessories] kirkla79:
My qi case came in and I did the mod for the wallet case.

It works perfectly! Thanks OP!
[Note Edge Accessories] tospace2006:
Just to be clear this mod was done from an Edge Qi back cover to a waller case back cover. Im guessing to avoid the extra thickness added by the Qi backing.

Can this be done to the original backing that comes with the note edge so that I can have Qi with the simple backing and no extra thickness
[Note Edge Accessories] ojcool:
Yep that works, I have done that for one of my friends who complained the qi cover is too thick
[Note Edge Accessories] tospace2006:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WEuXId2WV9w

This could be a quick and easy way to do this whole mod but I think I want to keep the ability to use the usb port in case I need quickcharge or use the port for mass storage.

Also does anyone know what amperage the OEM case allow. Cause I saw that Samsung official Qi chargers are 2amp but most only deliver 1amp from what i know.
[Note Edge Accessories] pdandroid:
On bottom L sharp pins; pin of inside is + 5v and pin of out side is ground. you can mod samsung s5 wireless charger receiver to install. (pin of wireless charger receiver s5 is opposite compare to note edge). so i trip off plastic cover of receiver and pull up pcb sidedown to made compatible pins .

Cons: due to wireless receiver is 1.0 compatible=used ic bq5101xx = max 1000ma.

note edge can handle 1700 ma so receiver get hot;

Solutions: used usb charger under 1000ma or connect 2 wireless receiver in parallel way. (1 up and 1 down; coils are center and symmetric).
[Note Edge Accessories] tospace2006:
Maybe some pics? would be helpful
[Note Edge Accessories] churchpark:
MOD is great here!

I just installed my wireless receiver as instructed and it is up and running, however am I mistaken to here

that the usb port cannot be used or be used to charge direct with wall charger through that any longer?

I need to know for safe keeping.
[Note Edge Accessories] tospace2006:
You can still obviously use your usb charger to charge your phone. I wouldn't recommend doing it while it's wirelessly charging though
[Note Edge Accessories] navalynt:
After reading through this thread, and getting no responses on my thread about which covers will work OK with the OEM Qi charging door, I gave this a go to transplant the Qi charging pad into the original plastic battery door.

It looks a little awkward because you can see some raised spots where the original plastic battery door is being pushed up but, on a whole, once you put a case around the phone it looks nice and you can barely tell that the raised spots are still there. I figure if my Body Glove case will fit perfectly with this modification than any case should fit ok.
[Note Edge Accessories] tospace2006:
Does the phone not fit in the case without this mod?
[Note Edge Accessories] navalynt:
The phone fits in the case just fine without this mod. I'm just saying that with this mod it still fits in the case just fine. Using the Wireless Qi OEM battery door it would not fit in the case .
[Note Edge Accessories] tospace2006:
Mine is about to arrive soon. Can you show me some pics of what it looks like now and what did you use to attach it to the door.

Flip wallet qi wireless charging (diy)

Follow his directions. He is correct, it works perfectly. Go slow, easy but it all works out. This is an awesome phone but the flip case operating properly with Qi charging it is the best and so is he for doing this and teaching us!!!!!

Anyone has questions?

ave1@tiac.net
[Note Edge Accessories] Budge:
Now that there are third party Qi receivers available for the Note Edge, is there a certain type or Qi version that works best with this phone? I want to use one with the flip case as well, but I don't want to buy the OEM Qi case.

---------- Post added at 08:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:45 AM ----------

When you remove the chip from the OEM flip case to make room for the Qi receiver, do you lose any functionality with the case? What is that chip supposed to do? And is there any benefit to using the OEM Qi receiver vs an aftermarket from ebay?
[Note Edge Accessories] banstro:
How did u manage to place the qi receiver on the flip wallet at the same position where the connectors should be? Also where can I find that fabric tape to stick the receiver?

Looking to do this mod on the OEM cover instead of the flip wallet.
[Note Edge Accessories] drexd:
Yes, you place the Qi receiver over the same place. On the OEM wallet, you must pry out the small circuitboard that corresponds to the one on the Qi wireless coil on the OEM wallet case; the receiver's circuitboard will replace that connection.

You can use electrical tape, cloth tape, almost any tape (I wouldn't use scotch, masking, or duct tape) will work
[Note Edge Accessories] banstro:
Buy what about the OEM cover... not the flip wallet. How do I know where exactly the pins should be placed. There are no markers on the OEM cover.
[Note Edge Accessories] drexd:
yes there is a an area that corresponds to it.

you can also see where the circuitboards plug into the back of the edge and align it from there. if you are doing it now, its pretty self evident
[Note Edge Accessories] fergusstrachan:
Thanks OP for the thread.

I've just about finished doing the mod myself but wanted to add a few points:

- When removing the plastic covering the wireless charging parts, be very careful not to stick your screwdriver in and wiggle it around, or you might hit the coil and knacker it.

- The flip cover has annoying grooves on the back of it, plus a little bit of plastic. These get in the way and I can't close it properly. I hacked away at the plastic bits with a Stanley knife, but the grooves I'm not sure how to get rid of them.

- The phone no longer responds to opening and closing the lid.

So not altogether successful over here!

EDIT: The cover now works. The 2 contacts are for the charging, the 3 do some kind of magic stuff with the cover. I couldn't get these ones to connect properly (flush), but it's better now.

Dam you OP, you said it was easy! ;)
[Note Edge Accessories] luca73n:
thanks to your guide now i have wireless charging :D
[Note Edge Accessories] sinalco:
Should i take the original note edge qi receiver from the original case or should i buy a Qi Wireless Receiver-pad (3rd Party)?

Does it have any advantages choosing the original note edge qi receiver?

Does it support more functions?

What are the differences between theese options?

You're going to want to buy the OEM qi charging back so the pins line up with your battery
[Note Edge Accessories] bigdirtyjase:
Just picked up my OEM S Charger Kit (Wireless case and charger) and the OEM Flip case.

Followed all the instructions (good tip is that when you remove the three pin on the flip case, that area is your guide to place the wireless. All is working well
[Note Edge Accessories] Massam99:
Style clock

Thanks for this great tip, I'm really happy that this worked for me.

Nobody else seems to have mentioned this so maybe it's only me but, because the chip from the flip case has been removed, the option to change the "Style Clock" that appears when you close the case has disappeared.

After plenty of messing around I found a solution that seems to work every time. Go to the Edge screen options where you should see that the "Style clock for flip wallet" menu option is missing. Close the flip case so that the clock appears on the edge then tilt your phone to the side so that the clock rotates to compensate. Now open the flip case and you should see that the option has reappeared.

Maybe not everyone is having this issue but, if you are, hopefully you can replicate what I did to temporarily get the option back.

You must have had balls of steel to rip apart two expensive cases just to see if mashing them together into one awesome accessory works! Thanks to you, my Note Edge is even more Awesome than it was before.

I modded the old note 2 qi chargin pad to work with my edge. I needed some wiring and some skills. Works fine with original flip cover :D
[Note Edge Accessories] DudePharaoh:
ok.. i just pried the back plastic piece of the original samsung QI back part, to see the those connectors. BUT.. they are connected to the circuit board of the coil at the back side.

how can you disconnect those connectors from the main coil board?

and also.. am i gonna need the whole coil circuit board to be pried off too? or just the connectors that i need to be prying off?

thanks
[Note Edge Accessories] DudePharaoh:
never mind.. i figured it out.. i totally misunderstood the OP..
[Note Edge Accessories] Andrew0811:
first thanks for this mod.

So after looking s charger view cover i realized that it is also 6 pin, and the s charger cover is also 6 pin, so there is always a chance to get s charger view cover for the note edge without losing the menu.

I just think 2 pin on the back is for nfc, the other 2 pin is just identifier, and 2 pin for charger

just some question for people who did use this mod, will it get hotter because that is the reason samsung have thicker shell?

sorry for my bad english.
[Note Edge Accessories] ccisn:
The flip cover for the Edge has only 3 pins which must be removed. The Qi back has four 4 in this location. The Qi back also has the other connector which has 2 pins. Regardless the mod here is to add wireless charging to the flip cover. All functionality works. The flip cover adds some functionality, and all functionality remains after the mod is performed to add wireless charging to the Samsung Flip cover. In my previous post I was verifying that there is a quirk that Massam99 pointed out that only one setting does not work exactly as it did when using the un-modded flip cover. However there is a minor workaround to that quirk and it works every time.

My phone does not get any hotter during use and might get warm after a long charge, but temperature wise no change at all for me during regular use. For me the only thing that has changed, is that the mod added wireless charging to my flip case.
[Note Edge Accessories] Andrew0811:
thanks for the reply,

lets forget about the pins.

so it might get warm after long charge,

I am scared that it will affect battery life span, as I remember that battery don't like hot temperature.
[Note Edge Accessories] raynan:
Did this a while ago and it is working pretty well; the only issue I'm having is related to the range of the wireless charging. Maybe I'm just having trouble lining it up correctly, but I can't seem to get it charging consistently. Has anyone else had this issue?

Nonetheless, thanks OP! :good:
[Note Edge Accessories] Mike02z:
I did this mod so that the UAG case would fit. With the qi cover, it would not fit.

I first pry'd the plastic piece from the inside of the qi cover. It came off easily with a sharp blade. I then used the same sharp blade to remove the qi coil, board and connections from the plastic piece. I then lined it put and taped it to the inside of my stock cover using electrical tape. Unlike others, I can see 2 small bulges in the cover where the pins on the qi receiver meet the connections of the phone but the cover snaps back on easily and now the UAG cover fits.

Mine will get warm and every once and a while it will keep turning on the screen. It's like I have to place it exactly and when I do, it never wakes the phone. Easy mod. Took me about 30 minutes as you really need to cut carefully.
