Sorry if this is redundant to Black Friday post but I thought it was worthy of attention.

If you have purchase an AT&T tilt within the last 30 days, the original purchase point will credit you back 50% of purchase price today through Sunday only! (Fri.23, Sat.24, Sun.25))

I just got them to credit back $150 to my account! I thought that the credit was post rebate, which would have made the credit $100, but I got the full $299 price reduced by half! :D SCORE!

Everyone that can should take advantage of this rare gift from AT&T.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] brianlb:
i believe it's only certain states that get the 50% off.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Exousia:
Yeah, its all west coast states. Sucks because I bought mine within 30 days but I live in VA (east coast)! Bah... AT&T strikes again!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] lungothrin:
do we have to call them or go to the store, or they just credit the money back?!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] brianlb:
same here I'm in Missouri and I bought mine on the 13th this month, so maybe they'll drop the prices here in a week or so.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] lungothrin:
I called an ATT store and they said there's no credit back or any discount on a purchased tilt!!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] tiptoekirk:
what if you ordered the tilt from the premier site?? Does this count for a 50% refund?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] stozmon:
30 day price matching

I had to physically go into the store but others were able to call in.

Don't let them bull**** you and tell you otherwise, everyone is eligible, the caviat being it had to purchased from AT&T direct.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] anonova:
Do you live on the west or east coast? I'm on the east and went to the AT&T Tilt page on their site. If I put in my zip code, it's still $300. If I put in a zip code from the west coast (I tried San Francisco, California), it's $150.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jhego:
Called ATT just right now and they credited my account 150$. It took me 45 min and asking for the supervisor to get to it. Now im just waiting for the 100$ rebate to sweeten the deal.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] JohnnyGTO:
I was only able to get $100.00 but I ordered it back in mid Oct. so I missed the 30 days by 5 days! But then I'm not going to sneeze at $100.00!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] sundoulos:
I just (2 hours ago) bought a tilt from ATT website for 399 w/ 100 rebate. R u telling me I can get another 150 back? I dont care if it took two hours - I would love to get my phone for 150. What is the offer info?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ZzFDKzZ:
Damn I order it back when it first came out.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Penske MB:
just add an additional line for $149 after $100 rebate
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] sundoulos:
Can someone give me the info on the deal? I can find the 50% off select phones, but I cannot find any HTC, much less Tilt incl in the offer. I would like to get 150 back - who wouldn't? - and if I have the info I will, but what am I going to say, "People on the forum are getting it - why can't I?"? I am not too confident with that approach. If you got the deal there had to be an offer - so where can I see the offer besides word of mouth?

Please. ;)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Kadin:
I just went in and purchased the Tilt and got the 50% offer. Now as mentioned it's in 'select' states but I think a simple call to a local office should suffice. I will say that when I went in, it was marked at that price too. It's basically $249.99 with a 2yr Contract (new or eligible upgrade) less the $100 mail-in rebate... here in Sacramento, CA... so net price of $149.99 after rebates + tax.

As to the refund... well I'd think you'd only be eligible to get that as if you were going to return it and re-buy it. Under that criteria, if you can do that, then you should be entitled to the refund. If it was purchased online, etc., not too sure what the specifics would be...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] sundoulos:
Thanks! I will check it out tomorrow. For sure.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Kadin:
Good luck! If you're within 30 days, there should be ZERO reason for them to give you any problem - provided it was from an AT&T Corp store. I'd position it as 'Well I can just return it and then re-buy it.' Maybe choose better wording but you get my point... :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] <insertwittyusernamehere>:
the torrent of swears that i have to unleash because i bought my phone 2 days too early would without a doubt get me banned from this forum.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] volcomnator999:
hmm..i vvas gonna ask this today but too busy vvorking at the mall...ill ask tomorrovv
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] catracho_1:
50$ =)

no one believes me..... i walked into the store (sf, california ) willing to drop 300.00 and i come out only paying 50.00 :eek: :eek: after the 100.00 mail-in-rebate.. i just got mine today. i need help moding i dont no where 2 start. :D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] JohnnyGTO:
Call 611 and sweet talk the support person. I bought mine 5 days early and got they to take $100.00 off my next bill!

With AT&T since 1997 and this is why!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] lokmeup:
Nope, no go.. I had my phone for 2 days longer than 30 days... and they said NO.... WTF?! I am really disappointed in AT&T.

Ron
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Kadin:
Well that sucks... but I'm not surprised. They have the 30-day rule and they have to cut it at that point otherwise where do they draw the line? Unfortunately it's just like things we all buy that go on sale later... lame but the nature of the beast.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] the_passenger:
I paid $399 thru premier and just got $150 credit back. thanks.

hey Ron if you bought it from ATT website, try to call back today, their system is really jammed now, they probably can't check that you bought the phone 2 days longer than 30days policy. Just tell them you bought the phone a few weeks back. good luck.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] <insertwittyusernamehere>:
Turns out i bought mine 1 day early after checking the receipt. So i went down to the store in person ready to put up a fight, but found the manager to be extremely helpful. I got a refund of $140.

@They have the 30-day rule and they have to cut it at that point otherwise where do they draw the line?

Based on the fact that I got 140 and Johnny got 100 i think they will allow the refund after 30 days but dock you off $10 for each day after. Imagine a poor soul coming in after 45 days (You actually owe us $150)

You should be able to get something if you find the right person that's willing to help you.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Kadin:
Well I agree they should help you out but I'm not sure where they '$10 for each day after' came from. That's definitely not the standard and like you said, if you approach it in a good way and be civil, just hope you get someone that's cool and might not be a prob...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] anonova:
I'm finding it difficult to get someone to price match. I went to the physical store, and the person there said that since it's not a local promotion, I can't receive the price match. I had the printouts to Amazon and the Newegg offers, but the person said they only take price matches from other local stores like Wal-Mart and Circuit City.

I called AT&T themselves and got a customer support specialist. She said that she couldn't do it, and I had to go to the store and ask them if they would accept it.

Am I out of luck? I live in the southeast. (People who are sharing success stories are not telling their location. I'm not sure if they live in the areas where AT&T is giving the promotion.)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] joegie:
pretty sure it's only in the specified states, to anyone who wants to try to call customer service they will refund it to you, but since I bought 3 phones they could only credit me $250, so it looks like i have to go to the store tomorrow :cool:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] anonova:
Are you saying it's in the specified states, but if not, call customer service and they'll refund? Because I did try that, and customer service said it was dependant on the local store because I bought it from the store.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] GKMan:
I got Mine purchsed on 10/05

the rep initially gave me an issue about the 30 days but I told him I swapped it out on halloween at the store because of bad bluetooth and he said that started the 30 days all over again. $150 in 5 mins not bad I think that is $9000.00 and hour. Wish I could do this full time LOL
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] joegie:
i think its only offered in those states, im in CA so it applies to me, the rep said he could only refund me $250 to the account, so I have to head to the store tomorrow to swap out my parents phone and get the money back :D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] smittyofdhs:
I just got mine. They giy was totally clueless about what' was going on but I stayed persistent and told him that I show get a re fund because I bought the device within 30 days and now they put the phone on sale. Finally after I thought the call was pointless nad ready to hang up he tells me he can give me a 1-time $150 credit on my account for being good customer, whatever I'll take it. I didn't want to pay 299 now that I've seen for as low as $99 out on the web...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] stozmon:
Its great to hear all of the success stories!

A few more facts I've been able to gather:

The sale is only for AT&T's "Great Western Region" but price matching works for internet pricing as well so all of that local talk is crap!

Many people, including 2 of my friends, have gotten the discount while being over 30 days!

In store managers have the authorization to issue an override credit while AT&T phone Sales/CS cannot so shmoozing your local manager is worthwile.

By visiting different stores, being pleasant/creative and trying different managers, success becomes more likely; persistance pays off!

The credit for a Tilt shoulb be $150 so don't settle for less.

The largest credit adjustment possible is $250 (in the case of multiple phones like myself), otherwise you must return and repurchase the merchandise.

Go out there and get your money, you've got it coming to you! Remember you've got all day tomorrow as well (Sun. 25th)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] MrTrunks:
You have to sign up for the PDA connect plan correct? I was denied the refund because I don't have the needed data plan :(
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] roverman:
The website says new activation required. But it sounds like you guys who got the $150 are long term cingular subscribers. Is this correct? I guess I might as well give it a shot...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jerich007:
anyone know what the cutoff is? 30 days from thursday? or friday? i bought mine on 10/21.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] poisonz:
I think you and me are out of luck. I got mine on 10/21, but I had to exchange the phone few days later because the phone I got was a used phone.

I think ATT CS is close on weekend. I dont know if this still works next monday, since its a week over 30days.

What I want to know is-

URGENT QUESTION!!!!!

I'm presently a current AT&T(Cingular) customer billed in Georgia, but staying in Alabama for the moment. I ripped the mini-usb charging port out of my 8125/Wizard *tonight*... Briefly breezing over AT&T's site this evening, I've decided I'd be game for a Kaiser-

QUESTION:

Would it be possible for me to acquire the Kaiser from AT&T (site? store?) before close on the 25th with this deep discount? Or would it be just as cheap to buy it from the AT&T (site or store) from here forward anytime?

Thanks for any help in advance- I've tried to catch up on the thread- just jumping ahead and asking for time's sake!

-Bertokamus-
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] joegie:
that is true, but the manager can always do a double credit, thats what he did when they charged me full price on the tilts instead of 2 year plan price.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] volcomnator999:
i got credited today....yay
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] sundoulos:
HTC/ATT Tilt for 119.99! Yeah!

Check this one out:

I just got a csr on 611 to credit my account $60 a month for 3 months paid in a lump sum credit to my account! And I live in the SouthEast. That was talking nice and sweet.

Thanks guys and gals for letting me know about the deal. 119.99 is about the sweetest deal I have ever got on a phone. Merry Christmas. ;)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] trivguy:
ATT rebate still alive

Monday PM (PST)

I spoke with a sales rep at a local att store after reading about the rebate on this thread Sunday night. Without providing details, I simply stated that I would like to take advantage of this rebate, and he completed it right there with me on the phone.

It might not be too late to score on this one...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Bertokamus:
Just FYI-

As an AT&T customer, NOT eligible for an upgrade, I walked into an AT&T store here in Alabama this afternoon and picked up a Tilt for $399, along with a $100 rebate I can mail in. I don't see myself doing this anytime soon, since I might be returning this bastard of HTC, but whatever.

Thought I'd weigh in conclusively!

-Bertokamus-
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Exousia:
I've called in twice now and talked to two different CSRs. All they do is tell me to go to the store where I bought the phones. They refuse to let me speak to a manager and insist that they are unable to do anything for me.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] redlinerocket:
No Love From AT&T

I called AT&T to ask about the discount. They had no idea what I was talking about. I also had them ask their tele-sales department and they did not know about it either.

I will stop by the store where I bought the phone and ask them but I am not holding my breath.

Perhaps if someone has a promotion code or some offer code to reference that would be helpful.

[Note 7 Questions & Answers] nomailx:
Hey guys, here's the deal.

Tomorrow Samsung will push the 60% Battery limit update in my country. But i read a few threads in the Forums and used an App called "Package Disable Pro" and disabled any process related to Updates.

So the question is...

How do you know the Package Disabler worked?

After the Update, does the Battery icon stick at 60% ?

or does the icon show 100% while the Battery is in fact at 60% only?

thanks.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] tossero:
After the update you are no longer able to charge it to 100% , it stops at 60% and it displays 60% .
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] sakohunter:
These were the only 2 things i disabled with package disabler pro on my phone.

Which was enough to block the automatic update from Samsung yet my google play store is still able to update my installed apps and I am still able to manually update apps from galaxy app store.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] SptMogul:
how is the package disabler work? is it gonna run in the background 24/7?
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] nomailx:
Usually Disablers just "Disable" a software for good and just once. Like removing their registry entry or something like this. Dunno how Android works though. But I don't think that the disabler has to work permanently in the background...
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] equlizer:
I still can charge mine to 100% but every time i plug in the charge cable it reminds me to phone the 1800 number and swap my phone. That is the only difference.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] pilzj:
After the Update cant you also not charge more when the phone is off?
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] nomailx:
Let me get this clear. You are not able to charge your phone when it is off after the update?
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] pilzj:
Sorry, I ment not more than 60%

Edit: Answered it my self. You get the options in the settingsmenu to charge up to 80%. However that only works when the phone is turned on. If the phone is turned off while charging it will only charge up to 60%.

And I loved the battery life of that thing soooooo much, best device for me since non-removable batteries.

Font changed back to factory after unexpected system change

I found that an app had cause to be enabled "high contrast text." Settings -> Advanced Settings -> Accessibility -> System: "High contrast text" Switched off and voilà changed font back to factory.

This font change suddenly occurred while I was experimenting with on-screen navbar type apps which require Accessibility Services.

Posting for posterity for others searching, this sudden font change had also happened on my stock Axon 7.

I am currently running the OS below.

My knox is not tripped and the only apps I really use ROOT for is.

Titanium Backup Pro

Busy Box

Lucky Patcher (to remove annoying ads)

Is it possible to update this to a newer OS and still have ROOT without tripping KNOX?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] rlichtefeld:
No, all the ways of rooting beyond KitKit will cause Knox to trip on a Samsung phone.

The easiest way to update and acquire root, would be to flash a new version, that is already rooted. There are several in the Android Development subforum here. GP2 is the most recent for this phone.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] audit13:
Flashing TWRP for the d2att to a d2tmo would not cause the brick. Cross-flashing TWRP among similar devices will allow flashing a custom ROM to a phone without changing the updater script. For example, flashing TWRP for the international s4 (gt-i9505) to a Canadian/Mexican s4 (sgh-i337m) allows a ROM designed for the gt-i9505 to be flashed to the sgh-i337m.

If the phone is booting, it is soft-bricked. Do you have USB jig? Power off the phone, let it charge, and flash a stock ROM from sammobile.com.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] htc_desire_luke:
i dont have a jig.
