For you guys who got bill credit for accessories purchased through a 3rd party: How exactly? Did you call, chat, contact T-Force, exc? What did you say?

I tried contacting T-Force and they said to contact the manufacturer.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] CB620:
Phone call
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] bigmase23:
Just to piggy back this question.. what if your exchanging your note, not returning? Will they still credit your account for accessories? Also, what if these accessories were purchased from Amazon, Best Buy, etc? Still get a credit?
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] mike28:
I wish I could play with a note 5 until the replacement units are shipped but they only mentioned the s7 and s7 edge which I don't want to go back to I rather keep my current note 7
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] Cyberguycpt:
I called Customer service and asked about it. My primary question was would I lose a Jump because I did Jump on Demand before I noticed they said you could return in store even if you ordered online. Then I asked about the accessories, I let them know I bought it online at Amazon and spent roughly $40 bucks. She asked someone else and came back and said they would give me a credit if $40. Funny thing is when I check my account it says my balance is -39.99. Lol. Wonder what happened to my penny. Lol.

---------- Post added at 04:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:30 PM ----------

Shouldn't be a problem I exchanged my Note and bought my accessories from Amazon and got a credit. Now if you are exchanging a day one Note with a New one when they come out, I don't know about that.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] bigmase23:
CB,

What was your process? Fill out form for exchange, tmo emailed you, and when and what did you do to get the shipping label? Thanks!

---------- Post added at 11:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:33 AM ----------

I bought 4 cases, a fast charger stand, grand total around $90ish, I just tell them? No proof needed? Is there a limit?
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] CB620:
Called yesterday, got the return shipping label emailed to me; sent me link for replacement-filled out; spoke about accessories purchased through Amazon got credited $25 on next bill.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] bigmase23:
So by calling it sped up the process? I filled out the form and got an email stating they would let me know when they are available
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] Cyberguycpt:
First question is did you already exchange and get another model?

Second mine was $40 which I don't believe is out of the realm possibility that you would spend that amount on accessories for a new phone. Now $90 might be a little bit more questionable. So if I was you I would make sure my phone is exchanged so they see that you have a different model and have no use for those accessories and then call them up as soon as possible. I'm sure none of us XDA members would pull a scam and try and get more than what we paid. LOL but I'm quite sure some probably will and they will start requiring more proof of purchase
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] mike28:
They gave you the credit for the accessories even though you still getting a replacement note 7?
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] chispas109:
I am now debating if i should get the replacement or just return for a refund and skip the note 7 and wait for the note 8

Main reason is the screen. Even though it looks nice, i am not a big fan of curved screen. One thing i was hoping was for a 6 inch screen and not the same 5.7

What do you guys think? Am i crazy or not? Please comment.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] bigmase23:
I have not exchanged, I am only exchanging for a new batch, are they only giving credit if you get a different phone, s7, for example?
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] chispas109:
[MENTION=1468652]charlieb620[/MENTION] excellent work in keeping this thread updated. Hat off my head.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] bigmase23:
Note 8 will more than likely have a curved edge. Rumor has it the iphone 8 will have one and another phone is already hinting at one, sorry can think out which one right now. It's the "new" thing that I don't think is going away anytime soon..
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] LuigiBull23:
Simple answer: Yes, you're crazy lol.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] Cyberguycpt:
Well someone said they got lucky and they gave them a refund for the accessories even though they're keeping the same phone. But I think that might be a little bit more of a hit-and-miss. I would try if I were you just to see what happens.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] CB620:
I MAY be exchanging or returning for a full refund. Still up in the air for me. I'm just holding on to the label. I am not having issues with my phone. I've used wireless charging since I got it. Right now I am still looking at other devices. The rep I spoke to gave me the credit even after I said I may keep it.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] Root-Maniac:
Im honestly not worried about it.

Just pulled my phone off the charger and it is not hot at all.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] chispas109:
Well ok i can live with the egde screen but i really wanted a 6 inch screen. You know you agree. Dont deny it.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] CB620:
Of the people I know that called they already have a return shipping label. It does not speed up the process of getting a new Note 7 because they haven't even been shipped to T-Mobile. Overseas are getting their replacements first.

T-Mobile is honoring everything till the first week of Oct.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] bigmase23:

My phone has been perfect. I bought mine online and called them today for a refund. They sent to a tmobile store so I could return it there and not deal with the shipping process.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] Cyberguycpt:
So far I returned my phone. Not sure if I'll be back once the dust settles but im leaning more to not. If your on Jump on Demand and you have a few more Jumps just waiting it out may not be so bad. But yesterday when I turned in my phone I noticed the phone already had a trade in value of $670 and it's not even a month old. I can only imagine it going much lower much faster. And I believe when you are on different jumps you are able to use the trade in value to jump to a new phone, I can only imagine where it will be in 6 months to a year when most people upgrade. I mean it's already not an iPhone so the return on investment won't be anywhere near what you paid already then with the recall and two flagship coming out back to back. But at the end of the day the Note 7 is a really good phone. If you plan on keeping it for years I think y'all be happy.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] XxKINGxX2580:
On a side note, I like how this thread changes to what is currently up with the note 7.

[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] dems86:
Went ahead an called in, talked to a wonderful lady who applied for me a $25 bill credit, and since I just want to replace it for another Note7 was told she would have me notified (I am guessing by text or email) when replacements are available and I can head in to a local store and swap it out. This works out fine for me because there are two corporate stores that I pass between home and office, making it really convenient to exchange it out.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] RaymondPJR:
Crazy! If they ever get a clue and go to a six inch screen, expect it to be curved like Beyonce's or J-Lo's hips!

---------- Post added at 09:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:05 PM ----------

A curved screen on an iPhone is useless unless they are getting rid of those chunky bezels? That would be interesting! Then again, most say the curved screen on this phone is useless, lol!

So, I just got off the phone with tmo. Not only are they refunding me for the cost of the deductible on my Wife's phone, they guaranteed that even if the phone is damaged it is still covered under the recall and it will be replaced regardless if device damage.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] aznmode:
I guess I need to call again. Rep said exchange is done at the store and they can't do it over the phone. Also no reimbursement unless you return the phone and has to be done at the store. I don't care for the reimbursement but I just don't wanna wait in line with everyone else at the store to get a replacement. That can take forever.

The point is dude I had a simple thought that people waiting it out may want to consider this isnt indefinite. In that I noted that ATT in fact stated an end date as a comparison.

COMPARISON, somehow that triggered your inner mental midget and you had to get negative with it.

You made yourself look foolish. Im just trying to add to the discussion.

Because "T-MOBILE IS NOT AT&T" repeated in all your posts are super helpful Officer Dewy.

You're one of the reasons XDA gets a bad name.

I can not imagine them making everyone go to a store to do this exchange.

First off some people live miles and miles away from a nearest store, and secondly half the time the workers at the store will mess everything up.

However, it does say on their website MUST EXCHANGE IN STORE ONLY
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] chispas109:
Are you sure you want to do that man. Iphone is just a lot of icons on homescreen. No fun there. Not to mention about their locked ecosystem. No sd card expansion. So complicated to put music there or even pictures. You cannot save all types of files there. Really think it through before you do it.

[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] Cyberguycpt:
I'm torn between the iPhone and Lg V20 currently I jumped to the v10 to see if I like it and if the V20 might be an option. The iPhone is on my list but it would need a quad HD screen, a nice touch would be for it to have the magnetic strip technology to use with Apple pay like Samsung Pay has. Yeah I know I'm dreaming. But Apple pay has the most cards available to use and Samsung Pay has the most places to use it. Don't know whats more valuable. Lol. Damn man why did Samsung do thus to us. I was content with the Note 7 and waiting for the next edge plus.

---------- Post added at 11:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:28 PM ----------

On another note today I went to the T-Mobile store just to verify that my jumps on demand jumps were still available for use. I had called customer service before going and they said that I was on numbers zero and still have 3 left supposedly since the Note 7 was recalled my Jump counter was started over againg. When I got to the store the customer service team member told me they couldn't do anything with jump on demand and actually showed me an email that said they cannot process any jump on demand orders until further notice. Which makes me think are they trying to get rid of jump on demand. Because if returning your previous phone for a full refund you have to be able to jump to something. Buy them not allowing you to jump on demand you might lose it.

With T-Mobile allowing up to September 30th for returns, kinda sucks that the Pixel (Nexus) line will be unveiled shortly after.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] Cyberguycpt:
iPhones are OK. Software and use of software is many instances is better. For instance, with Facebook when you upload to Facebook it's near HD quality but with Android it's very grainy and ugly. What's the point of the 4k camera if the main place we share videos is crap. Now I get that they don't want all these 4k videos bogging down Facebook but there should be away to cap the resolution. Just saying.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] ns_vu:
I like Android because multitasking, customization, and overall productivity for my uses is better. iOS is more reliable and straight forward, albeit more closed off. Plus iMessage allows friends and family to see what my camera can actually do since nobody I know really uses any other messaging app.

Honestly, I am happy with the Note but this whole ordeal is annoying. I've had no issues with my device yet there is no reason to risk it when replacements are being issued. Now I have to go a physical store and I absolutely loathe dealing with reps.

[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] kiddo94:
This email really confuses me because when I went to T-Mobile store on Friday to exchange a new phone other than Note7, the rep told me I cannot do that in-store because I have had my device for more than 14 days. They said there was a glitch in the system with people who pre-ordered Note7 on the phone(?!), so I had to do the exchange on phone. Doing the exchange on phone not only made me wait for the new different device to ship but also I have to pay for the shipping fee. I honestly do not like T-Mobile reps at all because they always sound so f....ing rule and dont give a sh.t about their customers.

Since now T-Mobile says we have to do the exchange in store, I wonder if I can go the store tomorrow, cancel the on-the-phone exchange I made on Friday and get a different device in-store.

That's where my dilemma comes in....

I feel like anything else is a step back. I know some or even a lot of people will disagree. The new nexus doesn't amaze me, the v20 looks good but it's just something about it that I can't pinpoint right now that makes me not want it, the iPhone 7 Plus will give me best of both worlds as far as 2 top phones.

That's why I'm just exchanging for a new one because I don't see anything better than the Note 7 right now. I did that with the Note 5.. as far as getting rid of it to try something better but always ended up coming back for the s pen and other features. Lack of root doesn't bother me.. I'm starting to learn how to live without it even though having it would be a plus.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] XxKINGxX2580:
I never go to T-Mobile stores immediately after an announcement like this. Always wait at least a couple of days. A lot of the employees don't know and are clueless as to what to do. I'll let the dust settle and probably go on iPhone 7 release.

[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] Cyberguycpt:
Why does it matter if they were using the cord that came with the phone or not? Regardless stuff like this should not be happening. It kills me when people make excuses for these billion dollar companies. It happens on both sides of the aisle. I remember when I had the iPhone 6 Plus and the phones were bending and people were saying well it's their fault because they put it in their back pocket. And I do agree a I would never put my phone in my back pocket but phones were bending even when people weren't putting them in the back. We keep saying they need to use the OEM charger only, but you know when you buy a phone at Bestbuy, T-Mobile etc. they rarely have other Samsung OEM chargers and usually the employees will tell you to buy a certain brand that they recommend to use as a second charger. When I bought the edge Plus and wanted to have fast charging in my car I went to Bestbuy and they recommend I get the Platinum fast charging car adaptor. So it's not a stretch that that same adapter should work with my Note 7. So if you are only supposed to use a Samsung branded charger this information should be known by anyone that sells electronics so they can instruct buyers accordingly. Otherwise it's on Samsung.
