That's what I'm actually doing. I had the discussion about my trade in with my rep.. In addition to the reduced price, I'm getting at least $84 for my att gs4 active. Plus a port credit of $150 [emoji12]
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Adaken13:
Why would you get 84 $ shouldn't it be 100$
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] phibo:
I had a chat with a Verizon rep. he said there's no more $100 trade in.

Anybody know if there are any repercussions if I were to open a new line, get the phone for 149, cancel the phone and pay ETF(350)?..essentially paying 500+tax for the phone. Will I still be able to keep the phone?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Adaken13:
Kris yes I believe you can do that I had the same thoughts. Just make sure you get unlock code before etf. Or see their conditions of doing so. But you have to pay activation fee and probably need to have longer than one billing cycle.

I bought a Note 4 about a week ago on the Edge program...I finally gave up my unlimited plan only because I am sick of paying full retail for a phone or buying a used phone. I wanted a new phone so I sucked it up and got the 10gb More Everything for only $3 more than what I was paying for unlimited (before the Edge payment).....I just called VZN and after dealing with the RUDEST rep I have ever dealt with I was able to get a supervisor on the phone who was nice enough to walk me through my options with this discount. When all is said & done if I take my phone to a VZN store and have them adjust my plan from Edge to a 2 year contract & I pay the $149 out of pocket my bill would only be $4 less than what it is now...and after 2 years it would actually cost me MORE to take this discount. This is because I have the 10gb more everything plan which gives a $25 line discount...when you go on contract you lose that discount because you are subsidizing the phone. If I went with a smaller More Everything plan then it might be worth it to change but the 10gb is a nice sweet spot for me since I usually use less than 10gb and have only gone over a couple of times even when I had unlimited. So for ME staying on Edge is cheaper in the long run....your mileage may vary
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] nh97103:
I got the Note 4 today! $149!

Guys, just a heads up: Do not let third party Verizon stores feed you this line about how "that deal only applies to people who start a new line, not to upgrades in general." It's NOT true. A guy at the store absolutely tried to scam me, and I BUSTED him by showing him that even when the Verizon site knew I was upgrading, the price was still $149.

Moments before I got up to walk out the store, he "found" the rebate. His stupid coworker's smile when the guy 'helping' me asked if he knew about the rebate confirmed my suspicions that they were trying to scam me out of $150.

In short, ask about the $150 rebate at all Verizon stores right now. The deal DOES apply there, too.

Those lying beepers tainted my buying experience, but they could never taint the Note 4. It's leaps and bounds better than the Note 2!

Happy holidays/Merry Christmas!

A large portion of their income is comission. If he got you to pay $300, he would have got twice the commision. If you had walked out that door, he would have got nothing.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] nh97103:
That's what I figured; the scumbag. It really turned me off to that store. I think I'll buy my next phone online in two years.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] ACiDxCHRiST:
I work with a guy that took a job working for AT&T when the economy got bad and he lost his good job. He talks about all the things he dealt with while working there and one of the common things that the other people would do is upsell people crap that they don't need and conveniently forget that there are lower priced alternatives.

For example, he talked about the insurance. You should know that there are multiple levels of insurance that cover different things and vary in price. Well he said that a lot of his coworkers would only tell/sell people the highest priced one regardless of the fact that the person may not need or want that.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] shart290:

Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Best Buy Price match Amazon for $50 after gift card, 2 yr contract, Sprint, Verizon

Amazing deal. Just picked up two Note 4's on Sprint for free after 2 year contract renewal.

Went to best buy and pricematched Amazon [amazon.com] who has the Note 4 in white and charcoal on Sprint and Verizon for $149.99. Until 1/3/14, Best Buy is offering a $100 gift card [bestbuy.com] for a 2 yr agreement on Sprint, Verizon, and AT&T. At the beginning of the year, I had also registered my phone numbers with Best Buy for a $50 gift card if I bought a phone from them. They allowed me to immediately use my gift cards towards the price of the phone, which became free, just had to pay tax. Since you can no longer sign up for the $50 gift card promotion, at least you can get the phone for $50 with 2 yr contract.

$149.99 after Amazon [amazon.com]price match at Best Buy

-$100 Best Buy Gift Card [bestbuy.com] YMMV

Total

$49.99 + tax
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Rolfsted:
I'm waiting people start returning their note 4s so I can get one refurbished. I'm not losing my unlimited so I have to buy it outright. $700 is pretty steep. If root never comes to the 4 I may keep my 2 for quite awhile.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] patt2k:
What unlock code? Its unlocked out od the box.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] nh97103:
If you're talking about getting a pre-owned phone from Verizon, don't do it. I made the horrible mistake of getting a pre-owned Droid 2 Global as my first smartphone because it was a little cheaper. I went through five of them just to get one that worked decently okay because FIVE of them had major problems. The screen freaked out, speakers didn't work, one wouldn't boot up, etc. I finally settled on one with a messed up screen because I was afraid of getting one worse if I exchanged it again.

I believe Verizon gets broken phones back, turns them on, and says, "This one works! Put it up as pre-owned for a little cheaper." I realize that sounds a bit like a joke, but it's absolutely not. It's the only explanation for me getting five messed up phones in a row.

Save yourself the major headache and don't do it. Of course, if you're talking about something else, good plan. :)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] gregb7677:
That particular phone was a piece of crap. I worked in Call center for awhile and I can still remember getting many calls of people having issues with that one.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] lynseyw:
I called Verizon to see if I could get refunded for the price drop since I just bought/upgraded on Monday. They said I would have to return it, pay the restocking fee and then get a new phone. I called several times and got the same answer. I finally went to the Verizon store. They just credited me $150 no questions asked. Got to keep my same phone and no restocking fee!!! Whoooo hooo!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] nh97103:
It really was. It kind of ruined Motorola for me. (But I know they've since gotten better.)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] tw1n5nak35:
This doesn't apply to me, because I have to wait till next year to get the upgrade discount. But I would mos def take advantage of the price drop, even if root isn't available. If root never comes to note 4, then you have a fantastic backup phone in the juggernaut 3, rooted with custom recovery and a ton of roms available. I say go for it guys, I wish I was able to get my note 3 last year for $150, instead of $330 :D
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] bigtimejdub:
Could the price redux be related to the release of the Note Edge?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] tw1n5nak35:
It could be, cause up to now it's not released yet for verizon. The verizon website only still says, "next big thing is coming soon". But this might be a little to early for the price drop. The note 4 only came out in september a few months ago. I do feel a disturbance in the force. :D
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] bigtimejdub:
Gotta wonder if the sales on the Note 4 have slowed since the Note Edge is sitting in all of the Best Buy stores. I've considered going from s4 to Note 4 but I'll wait for the edge if going Note.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] winlinmac001:
Lost? It costs Samsung "only" $320 dollars to assemble one Note 4 in a factory in China, Korea, or Vietnam :cowboy:
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] wsoldier:
I had to try 2 different reps. to get my price adjustment. The first one said she couldn't do it, and the 2nd one asked "who told you you could get a price adjustment?" I said a friend that works at Verizon and because it's common practice. After a few minutes, she told me I was eligible for a price adjustment if I purchased the phone within 14 days, which I had. Annoying that I ran into resistance, but I was able to get it.

Keep trying.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] vincey2kr1:
Best buy price matched Verizons $149.99 price then gave me a $150 gift card that I used towards the phone because I ported my number over from Sprint ( yes Verizon will credit my bill as well thirty days) so I walked out with a free note 4 and another $100 gift card promotion they had for Samsung that I used towards s view and glass zagg. Pretty happy walking away with a phone they paid me to sign up with.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] SCDroid:
That might be true with vzw resellers but not at corporate stores. An upgrade or new line retires quota. Doesn't matter if it's a basic phone or a $300 Note 4 they get paid the same. That's why I always suggest going to corporate stores. They also get paid on customer service so you're more likely to have a better experience but ymmv with that obviously.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] drburke:
Heads up, they're no longer honoring this promotion anymore, business or consumer account. I got into an argument with my corporate store but they had no explanation. I'm calling customer service to see why they took back a promotion that was supposed to last until the 15th.

EDIT: Called customer support, they told me it ended last night (12/25) and it was no longer redeemable as of today (12/26).
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] roy5000x2:
Yup, deal no longer stands. Rather annoying since I wanted to decide if I was going to take the deal after the holidays, but looks like my search for a new smartphone continues on since they so unceremoniously yanked it.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] purduephotog:
HELP!

1st gen Nexus 7. Came home today and found it in the google 4 color boot loop swishing the balls around and around. I don't remember rebooting it or installing any updates, so I just let it run.

20 minutes later- still there.

I powered it off, press the down+power, get to the restore- only to get 'system command not recognized' (unfortunately I didn't write it down, but it showed a flat android with a red ! over the open chest).

Kids started screaming about some trauma... came back... tablet was black. Tried rebooting- nogo. Tried powering up/down- nogo. Hold power for 2 minutes, all buttons, no buttons, down, up, etc- nothing.

Plugged it into the PC- get a 'APX mode', but still no screen and no power charging logo.

I've had the damn thing for not even 3 weeks. Can't even tell you what the last update was but it wasn't lollipop as I hadn't seen that yet when my nexus 4 got updated 2 weeks ago.

No, I didn't do wheelie or any backups because I hadn't made any changes to the system. I've got nothing.

32gb model. Don't know what else I can get off of this brick.

Yes, I've read all the threads I can find on APX mode- installed android toolkit, tried to find the dropbox files to get the windows restore- nogo.

I'll take any suggestions or ideas. And no, I really wasn't f-ing around with it either- it's for the 6 year old kid who needs work on sight words and math... I don't need to be running crazy stuff on it... (Feel free to move to appropriate forum as I only saw Nexus 7 2013)

Kind of neat, but I tried an experiment today. With my Gear S totally disconnected I streamed Milk music over data at my gym. I was impressed with the reception, better than my Note 4 and iPhone 6+. The battery died FAST, I went from 100% to zero in about 2 hours. It was great and I'm impressed with the functionality, I didn't have to worry about my phone in the gym or damaging it.
[Samsung Gear S] jrtireman:
That's pretty cool. I wish there was something we could do to improve battery drain when used as standalone. Maybe they will come out with an os update to help with that. Can't hurt to hope.
[Samsung Gear S] gsxr150:
2 hours of streaming music on a tiny little 300ma battery is not good enough?
[Samsung Gear S] jrtireman:
What I meant was, that in standalone mode it does drain battery quite a bit faster than when linked to your phone by Bluetooth only. True that for such a small battery it does really good but I believe it could do a little better with some software tweaks. I keep mine linked to my Note 4 by Bluetooth and at the end of the day I usually around 65-70% left. I'm not sure it would last all day in standalone mood. I think standby needs to conserve a little more juice. All and all I'm very happy with mine. Haven't taken it off since I got it,and I got mine the weekend it hit stores.
[Samsung Gear S] spinedoc:
I forgot to mention I was also streaming to Bluetooth headphones. So streaming music over 3g, a fairly weak 3g signal at that (gym is in a big metal hangar) and streaming that over to Bluetooth headphones. I was pretty impressed to have gotten those 2 hours. It was also nice to not have to worry about dropping my phone in the gym.
