[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] CLShortFuse:
My GF's friend got a Tilt for $150 with no rebates and she's on the media max 200 plan. She says her brother's best friend is an AT&T Authorized Retailer or whatever. I'm pissed. I tried to find out if she was saying after rebates or whatever. No, she gave him $150 in cash and got a Tilt with her MediaMax 200. No rebates, nothing. I'm very upset. It would be harder to believe if she wasn't holding one in her hand.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] SteinyD:
To add to my comments above, my contract was not extended either through the premiere account. I confirmed this with a customer service rep.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ziddey:
And just to confirm, you're already in contract? If so, how much longer do you have? Also, you entered in your phone number and account number and chose upgrade device instead of new, right?

Thanks!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] SteinyD:
My contract had just lapsed, allowing me to take advantage of a phone upgrade. I went through the 'upgrade' process on their website. It is not a new line.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ziddey:
Wow that's exactly the same situation as me. My contract just expired in Sept. Time to give att a call and see what I can do
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] SteinyD:
Again, this was through a premiere associated account. This is not a general 'cingular.com' offering. I also assume that each premiere account is handled a bit differenlty and I trust you won't be using any names when you contact them! :-)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] rsolomon:
Yeah, this seems to be the case - some Premier accounts are more Premier than others, and this upgrade pricing w/ or w/o contract appears to be one of the key differences. Those of us with 2nd-class Premier accounts have to re-up for 2yrs :( or pay the full price :( :( :(

hey, just got one for 275, plus tax, no commitment and no contract.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] rsolomon:
Premier or non? Corporate store or agent? Data plan or not? Enquiring minds want to know...and duplicate your success! :D

TIA,

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] dan5.5:
Corparate store, no data plan, premier.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] randomtask16:
I tried at corporate store, the guy told me ok, but it would start new 2yrs by upgrading even without being up for it yet. BUT they were out of stock.

Went back once it was in stock and another guy that was there told me I absolutely can't do it at all because I'm not due for upgrade till next year, he said theres no way to do it other than ordering via premier...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] rsolomon:
My corporate store would happily match Premier pricing (and 2yr commit) with a printout showing the Premier cart ready for checkout. In your shoes I'd either just order online or go back w/printout and ask for 1st guy you talked to. (You should almost always go back to your sales person anyway....)

Richard
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] rsolomon:
Agent store slightly cheaper

I broke down and did the no-contract price at a local agent store for $529.99 (vs the $549.99 Corporate store price) - so you can save a *few* dollars that way. For some odd reasons of experimentation I had a prepaid GoPhone kicking around and the agent store happily put the Tilt on that number without hassle.

Richard
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] JBaxendale:
Any insight?

I got an 8525 this past June (for free from Premier). Now, when I go into Premier site, and after entering my phone number and ATT account number and after checking my account it says I can upgrade device alone or upgrade device and service plan. If I choose phone only the price is $399. If I click for phone service (450 plan for $40) and a $40 plus data plan, the price is $299.

Now, here is the question; wouldn't they simply add two years to my current plan expiration date? Of would they say, now you have two phone lines at $40 each -- which I don't want.

Currently I use mediamax at $20. When I got the 8525 (for free with Premier) they also required signing up for a $40 data plan. I did and later that same month changed it online to $20 media max plan. No problems in four months. I can even use phone as a modem very effectively -- and its about 750 mps to 1.2 gps.

The wait is finally over!

Verizon users of the Samsung Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge devices can use this link to get the stock Samsung Internet app that Verizon seems to cold heartedly keep out, out-of-the-box.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sec.android.app.sbrowser

Let me know how it works for you and don't forget to like!

Cheers!

Removed link to backed up application due to it now being available in Play Store.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and M] Crsdr37:
Playstore says device is not compatible.....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and M] retsen:
Same here
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and M] Mon205:
Have you downloaded and installed the OTA that was available about a week ago?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and M] _Dennis_:
Not compatible and I took the update last week.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and M] TJCacher:
I have (I started a thread about the OTA here when I first got the update, in fact), and the Play Store link definitely says incompatible. Believe me, I've tried it multiple times since it was updated to the version 4 browser.

I know the Play Store description says S7 and S7 Edge models are supported, but it is not open for downloading on at least the Verizon branded units (or not for some of us, at least).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and M] Mon205:
What I did was had someone with a Verizon S6 device, share me the link from their Play Store to the Samsung Internet app via text message. Then I went to the Messages app and opened the link where a unique window popped up and took me to the Play Store where the Install button was enabled for me to get the app.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and M] retsen:
Same here, took the update, still a no go in the play store. I did install that apk that was posted and it worked just fine...then got eskeered that it had some back door to china and deleted it :eek:.

Funny thing is when I installed the apk, then went to the play store it still showed as incompatible but installed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and M] jmm22:
Worked for me. Been using it for 4 or 5 days now
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and M] xocomaox:
I need this apk.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and M] Mon205:
I provided a link to the apk up top in the OP. Maybe it'll work for those that weren't able to install the browser from the link to the Play Store.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and M] xmind2006:
Searched in the play store and found and installed the browser without issue. BTW, there is also an ad block plug in for this browser.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and M] silverflame112:
I also had no problems finding it on the Play store. Installed with no problems. I wasn't able to install it last week as it gave me an incompatible device error but it works now!

Btw, I'm still on the stock version. Haven't taken any of the updates.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and M] Crsdr37:
Yup working for me now to really really weird
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and M] TheAugust:
Now that Chrome has been updated with patch notes listing speed improvements, I find Chrome to be as smooth as Samsung's browser, but with a better interface, search, faster scrolling, and the benefits of access to years worth of saved passwords and shared history. As far as I can tell, the only thing Internet has over Chrome is the adblock compatibility.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and M] TJCacher:
I agree you've summarized some significant advantages that Chrome offers.

But in addition to the adblock feature, here are a few things that are better with Samsung's app IMO:

- Secret Mode can persist an entirely separate password/fingerprint gated internet browsing experience, including history, website passwords, bookmarks, and locally saved web content - much more robust functionality than Chrome's completely temporal incognito mode.

- Use of fingerprint input can be optionally required on a site by site basis before the browser retrieves your saved password for a website.

- While Chrome can be configured to offer up a reader mode for article-formatted web pages, it is not on by default, and Google has slowly reduced its availability and functionality over time. Additionally, even when configured, its ability to correctly detect content that could benefit from reader mode is poor, meaning you can't easily use it even when it would be useful.

The Samsung Browser's reader mode is on by default, and while detection is not perfect, I've found the reader icon is made available for significantly more content than Chrome's.

Also, Chrome's reader mode announces its availability by placing an obnoxious pop up banner at the bottom of eligible web pages, whereas the Samsung Browser's reader icon appears as a small non-intrusive reading icon at the left of the URL in the address bar, where God intended it to be.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and M] jskup:
I've been using NoChromo as an answer to the Chrome with AdBlock concern. This may work for others as well. I couldn't give up the link sharing of Chrome across my multiple desktops.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and M] zachchen1996:
While chrome's overall smoothness has improved in recent versions, it still lags quite a bit when pinching to zoom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and M] Mon205:
I use Samsung Internet over Chrome mainly because of the Reader functionality it has. It helps with reading articles withing having to deal with unnecessary info on the original web pages. Also, the new functionalities Samsung included are pretty useful, such as the fingerprint log-in and just a better overall UI. Simple and to the point.

Has anyone tried this custom ROM install for Marshmallow on Z3v?

http://techvdroid.blogspot.com/2015/11/working-tutorial-how-to-updateupgrade_333.html

I have seen it on a couple of different websites, one which included facebook commenting that had a dozen comments stating it was working 100%. I was curious if anyone else has seen or tried this. I am thinking about sticking it on mine and seeing how it goes. Would be nice to be part of the 4%!

Thoughts?
[Xperia Z3v General] Tigerhoods:
dude don't waste your time no its not real that's a scam and this question has been asked and answered in another thread already.
[Xperia Z3v General] poolchamp:
Thanks for the quick response. I thought it was too good to be true. I searched on here for it but couldn't turn anything up, so I figured I'd ask. Just curious, a scam for what? What does it try to accomplish?

[Xperia Z3v General] acthujavert:
Only 3 comments on this site and all of comments are said that rom is 100% working :D.

But i think that's a fake ROM, because this site was posted on saturday, november 14, 2015. And at this moment, i've try to looking for many information about this ROM on another site, but nothing else.

I've try to download 3 part of this rom but i can't. If i have this rom, i'll test on my device and let you know :laugh:

Well the phone works ok to be honest but although seems an H815 of week 0505, LG Phone info shows it as LG H810 and the provider ATT...

I've searched all over the internet and I've never seen such a variant...

What is wrong? Is it damaged ?

You should probably ask your friend to return it if possible. Two reasons:

- You bought a H815 but got a H810?

- 505 is known to bootloop.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] dragas89:
I used to be a rom/kernel flasher daily starting all the way back to Nexus One and Nexus S phones, but eventually jumped ship to the iPhone 5s after the absolute **** audio and build quality of the Galaxy Nexus and the Nexus 4 (which I still have factory plastic on).

Since then I have sold and bought the iPhone yearly using Swappa, and now that I am up to the iPhone 6s Plus, I am getting really bored of IOS again. I plan on still keeping my iPhone 6s Plus, but want a second phone to use intermittently when I sell it in July.

I tried windows phone for a day, and said nope, this blows. So my choice is between Nexus 6p and S7 Edge. While the edge hardware looks amazing, I always appreciated the direct from Google updates and the unlocked boot loaders of the Nexus. So here are my questions:

How is the build quality of 6p vs S7 Edge

Is the audio qulality of either phoneup to par with iPhone 6s Plus

Camera Quality Decent?

Are the Screen poorly calibrated still, and are there kernels for that currently

How usefull are the fingerprint readers on Android now?

Can you reccomend cloud apps for this phone to sync with my ipad pro?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] markwebb:
I have had all three (now currently with N6P, so here goes point by point):

-Build quality is excellent both on Edge and 6SPlus: equal. Very good on 6P but there are the reports of bending which I have not had an issue with. While premium, the other 2 phones feel a bit more elegant but that isn't a negative.

-Audio quality is very good on 6P (front facing stereo speakers); good on Edge and good on Apple (they both lack stereo speakers. It just sounds better to me on 6P though some say speakers are not as loud).

-Best camera is now Edge; very good to excellent cams on both 6P (major upgrade from prior Nexus devices) and Apple.

-Poor calibrated screen on 6P (I went through 5 of them but a custome kernel fixed that!), gorgeous screen on Edge; Apple is good but lags.

-Fingerprint scanner is excellent on 6P and is much faster than Edge (which is still good!) and Apple (which is also still good!).

-I use Google Drive, Amazon Drive, Dropbox and Box.

I sent the Edge back because of the price (I buy outright) and I am now missing it's 2 greatest features: camera and display. With that, the 6P is also very good and it is serving my purpose, especially since it is 40%+ less in price than Edge and Apple.

Apple was boring to me. I just couldn't take it any longer and that damn home button controls everything. I had it jailbroken which made it better, but I prefer the speed and multitasking capabilities of Android any day (not starting flame wars -- I gave Apple my best shot for 5 months and kept an open mind). :)
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Perry2547:
I've only had the Z5 for 24 hours.

I've had several other Android phone though. So I've got some experience in rooting and installing customer roms.

I just kind of want to get a big picture of what to expect with this phone.

i think i understand but would someone confirm or deny:

The bootloader can be unlocked, but to actually root the phone, a customer kernel has to be installed?
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zippy01:
At this time yes.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bplogan:
Need to unlock the bootloader to do anything to this phone, either root and/or rom it. The unlocked bootloader results in some lost functionality which is restorable via DRM restore, a zip you can flash with custom recovery.

I did this last week and haven't regretted it, the romaur and aur kernel have significantly improved my battery life, and seem to be mostly bugfree.

The process is more complicated than doing the same on Samsung phone.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oneironautics:
Actually, same member that created the DRM spoof, tobias.waldvogel, has released a script that allows you to modify your stock kernel to be able to make modifications to the system by bypassing dm-verity and sony ric. So, as I've come to understand it you can use that method and retain stock kernel, albeit there are some exciting development on the kernel side :)
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bplogan:
Yep custom aur kernel is an improvement over stock
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dave G:
bit of emergency help please! Phone completely vanilla as it came out of the box two years ago., has all the latest updates applied. Last week as I'd run of App space I allowed the SD to become internal storage option but nothing else strange. Today I was having problems connecting to my Sat Nav so I restarted the phone, 10 minutes later I noticed it was stock on the HTC screen so I Volume Up + Power button restarted and now I'm stuck in this screen, nothing I do can get me to boot - any ideas please?

I've tried the factory reset option under HBOOT but it just returns me here
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dave G:
Ignore the below, just unplugged it and restarted it and its locked again!

after 20 attempts I plugged it into PC and its booted, totally wiped clean but it appears to be working. Got an S7 Edge arriving next week so I thinks its just the M8 getting jealous.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ViaJCE:
As the title states, I recently woke up to find my phone in the fast boot menu.

I have no idea what's going on or why it's in this state, as I've done nothing to it.

No root. No custom recovery. Nothing.

I simply put it down before I went to bed and that was all.

I've tried going into the 'hboot' option and selecting Fastboot, recovery, and even Factory Reset as a final option. All that happens whenever I've selected any option is that the phone reloads back into fastboot. The splash screen before hand is of 3 android mascots on skateboards.

I've seen some other threads here with similar issues, yet none like mine.

They've all seemed to be rooted phones, with or without custom recoveries on them.

I've no idea what's going on with the phone and would really appreciate any help or advice.

What is your OS number on the bootloader screen?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ViaJCE:
The OS Number is 4.20.531.5
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
So if its never been modded, the bootloader screen should also say LOCKED near the top and SOFTWARE OFFICIAL (or something like that). Can you confirm those?

If so, you can try to run the RUU and see if that helps the issue. Just download the RUU to a Windows PC (Win7 and USB 2.0 for best results), connect the phone to the PC in bootloader-fastboot mode, and double-lock the RUU executable to run it. You'll also need to have HTC Sync installed on the PC.

Find the 4.20.531.5 RUU here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2714456
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ViaJCE:
Yeah, as you said, it says

*** Software status: Official ***

*** LOCKED *** (highlighted in purple) on top in the menu.

I have actually tried using the RUU software before. The times that I've tried using it, it attempts to reboot the phone back into the fastboot menu, which turns it off. The phone never turns back on in time, for as soon as it does, the software says it's unable to do it.

Though I haven't tried that double-lock method you mentioned. And I do have the HTC Sync software installed as well.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
It should say "double click" (to run the RUU program). Not sure if there was some runaway spellcheck going on there, when I posted. But its not any different from what you've tried.

Another method you can try, is to download the RUU zip from Post #4 of the same thread: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=51836733&postcount=4

Rename to 0P6BIMG.zip, copy to SD card, insert card into phone, and reboot into bootloader, and it should automatically install it.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ViaJCE:
Thanks for the replies and the help so far. I clicked on the link with the 4.20.531.4 ROM, yet it no longer seems to be there.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Search to see if it was posted elsewhere (4.20.530.4 RUU in zip format). Otherwise, another option is to run the RUU.exe on your PC, then look in your Windows temp folder for a ROM.zip, which is the same thing (zip format RUU).
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ViaJCE:
Alright, so I've gotten the rom.zip from the ruu.exe.

I've renamed it as you said to, moved it to an SD card, and popped that SD card into the M8.

I turned on the M8 and it went into the fastboot menu as expected. I then selected the hboot option.

It then started to read the zip and flash it, then asking if I want to start the update.

After selecting yes, the bootloader started updating, but the partition update failed.

it read,
