Pretty sure I'm reading it correctly.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] Geekser:
You may be correct after all - I didn't see that - hmmmm
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] Geekser:
I went to best buy online and chatted with their reps - I was correct. YOu will get the deduction taken off your phone when you take your phone into Best Buy and trade it in on a new phone. Has to be done in store. But I beleive you can buy online and then trade in when you get to the store.

Here is an excerpt from our chat -

I don't know what that other option is - but I feel comfortable that we will get the trade in value off the price of the new phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] Ace42:
When I traded my N8 at BB for a S10+ its trade in value was divided (promo + base credit). Due to this tax is recalculated based on the new price, rather than base. When I asked about returning mine they offered to refund my card and provide a BB GC.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] smooth703:
Seems like best buy is the way to go
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] tlbland0426:
So if you get the Unlocked model they give you gift cards. I didn't look at that since I was focused on getting a Verizon model. With the Verizon Note 10+ they are taking the $600 off the price of the phone with my trade-in so it shows that it drops my monthly payment down to $18 a month instead of $43.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] KidJoe:
Sorry, a little late here and trying to catch up....

You got the Verizon Note 10+ at BB, and they too $600 off for trade-in? Is that correct? Is that for activating on existing line, or new line?

So If I buy a 256gig VZW Note 10+ , and trade in my Note 9, it would be $1049.99 less $600 for trade = $449.99 + taxes if I did lump payment rather than monthly?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] tlbland0426:
I had an upgrade available on one of my lines (I had paid off my S10+). So I preordered through Best Buy (Verizon Note 10+, 256 GB, Aura Glow), filled out the trade-in portion (S10+) and you can see from the screenshot that they took the $600 off the price of the Note 10+.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] KidJoe:
Perfect. Thanks!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] Corruption Inc:
Glad to see it is indeed money off the phone rather than gift cards at BB. I grabbed a Note 10+ from Samsung, as I had a note 8 and Samsung is giving me 350. BB would only give me 300.

Question. How are you guys getting $200 in accessories? I only got 150 in credit. I bought the charging kit... Wireless charging stand, power bank, 45w charger.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] zedwards:
From Samsung USA I only got 150 at the time of purchase
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] mzsquared:
Check your confirmation of pre-order/reservation email - the $50 is there so it's $200 altogether. $50 will be redeemable after 2 weeks, when the phone passes "the point of no return" for the 'no question asked' refund.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] MrAwesome75:
How did you get $600? I went on the website the night of the announcement and it always only offered me $300 for my Note 9. So I didn't go through with the process. I can get $300 from anywhere or sell it for close to $600 or so...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] skriefal:
There's nothing like that in my 'Order Receipt' email. There is a mention of 1000 Samsung Rewards points - but that's about $5.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] skriefal:
To get the $600 you need to purchase the unlocked Note 10. With the carrier-locked Note 10s you'll get only $300.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] MrAwesome75:
Haha, I figured that out right before I checked back in here. I just ordered and got the $600. Thanks for the reply.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] mzsquared:
Well, I have it. If I remember right, I made that reservation on the first night after that "unveiling" ceremony, I did the non-commitment reservation on their web page and was told to wait for an email from them. That email(partial copy below) offered the bonuses.

It looks like the $50 is for the reservation.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] skriefal:
Thanks. I waited until the pre-orders were available rather than putting my name on a reservation list. Guess I lost out on a $50 accessories credit. Oh well!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] Corruption Inc:
I did reserve and I still didn't get the $200, just $150. So I complained to Samsung via chat and they gave me a $50 coupon. Too bad all the good cases don't ship till some time in September.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] rabaker07:
I am starting to believe that this was the best tablet of its size and relative price range ever made. Is there a better tablet out there? It looks like the most recent Microsoft Surface, Google Slate, and some iPads (never!) have it beat but they also cost over $1k.

Can you recommend a tablet that is comparable or better that is easier to customize? (root, unlock, and flash with ROMs/community to support it)?

Seems like this is the tablet to have but it's so darn finicky and the USB port is prone to failure (PC won't recognize/interface) rendering even ADB methods unavailable.

Any thoughts? I sold my Nexus 7 in a weak moment and I'm kicking myself.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] DB126:
Onn 8" from Walmart. Make no mistake it is no HDX but makes up for deficits with a clean Android 9.x build that's highly usable right out of the box; no root needed. Far superior to Amazon's current offerings with possible exception to HD 8 and 10, both of which are harder to customize vs HDX and have limited custom ROM support. $64 US.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] LunarisDream:
I really do feel this way ever since picking up my 8.9 4 years ago. I use it almost exclusively for reading ebooks and manga and the screen continues to impress, sporting incredibly high DPI while being comfortable to hold, and excellent battery life even today, taking me through several days' worth of reading at 4 hours a day without issue. Even the 2019 iPad Air is only 265ppi (gsmarena) while the HDX 8.9 is standing at 339ppi. For text, there's no difference, but for manga, the greater capacity for detail is very welcome. The wide bezels on the HDX, and the lighter weight, as well as the 16:10 screen ratio all put the HDX far ahead of competition for reading, which is what Amazon wanted people to do with the Kindle line anyways.

Been looking for an upgrade, also primarily for reading, but pretty much everything on the market right now have worse screens (to be honest, it's hard to beat 2560x1600 resolution on a tablet and I'm convinced the HDX 8.9 was far ahead of its time), or are geared towards other multimedia like videos and mobile gaming, which I have no use for. Anyone feel like they're stuck in the same boat? I would love to hear your thoughts and recommendations.

Thanks OP for making this thread. I totally agree with you here.

Seems that the Onn 8" has a 1280x800 resolution screen. After being spoiled by the 8.9's gorgeous screen, it would be too much of a downgrade. I want to find a tablet for reading for my lil sis as she's starting middle school soon, and it's a real dilemma right now. Been eyeing this one dude's ebay listing for a 32GB 8.9" for $82 that already has all the legwork done with LineageOS installed, but I have concerns about buying such an old tablet, although I'm still using mine daily without issue.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] kinupsi:
dont buy it, much 2 expensive... i even got 2 hdx7 ers and got an issue with usb connectivity ...i ve 2 switch recovery mode 2 transfer files by usb
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] DB126:
This is not a generic device defect. I have owned close to a dozen gen 3 HDX examples over the past 7 years (given away most to family/friends). I have yet to experience s hardware issue that wasn't related to mishandling or simply age. Almost all usb connectivity issues are relates to host drivers, sketchy usb ports or crappy cables.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] Yousucks2:
Huawei Mediapad 7.0 T2 Lite its the only decent alternative with the same screen size

Saddly ,(at least for me) its too expensive (150 dollars on Aliexpress+30 dollars shipping)

I tried to switch to a Ipad Mini 4 ,isnt the same, i cant handle ipad with one hand like the kindle, and some apps isnt ported to the screen ratio.

Probably next year the 7" phones will be the standart size, and we can get decent specs .
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] rabaker07:

i never said its an generic problem on that device.

and i believe u, but i tried that hdx7 on other computers and cables: everytime i ve 2 switch in recovery mode 2 transfer files, so the problem is not the host, like i said ( i am not a person whos says something without trying EVERY option...)

dont misunderstood: i luv my 3 hdx (16gb, 32gb, 64gb) but they r not perfect BUT 82£ is ridiculously expensive! should nt be more than 50 Euro/ 45£ (come on, they r now at least 6 years old)

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] DB126:
The USB connectivity issues you experienced do not mirror the positive experience of many others who acquired the proper drivers and followed suggested trouble shooting procedures. That along with the "don't buy it" sentiment, instance that you have tried "EVERY" conceivable option and surprising response to a nearly 2 year old post scored the eye role.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] kinupsi:

(cant read a apologize from u, maybe u dont realize, that eyerolling is childish and impolite..if u got some mental disorder like asperger and dont know how "normal" people talk ...sry...and i mean it (nor sarcasm here))....anyway, if not, then its time 2 learn manners:

1. thx, but no thx because u might think of yourself as the "i know it all, so i troll" cause u put "every" in quotation marks, like we r going 2 be literally and not objectively, like smart a**es do. as we know everyone,... 2. who do u think u r, that u may talk 4 everybody? When i say i got the told issue, than it is so, and yes i tried !EVERY! possible step even more than u would imagine and instead to get along with my facts u prefer to exacerbate the issue and suggest i lie, or i didnt troubleshoot enough...wow... 3. u even put words in my mouth i never told, like that every device got that problem (until now, i dont understand, why u did that, but maybe my prolouge was right here) 4. u did not help at all, i think imho that u need that: just blabla without sense and need... just because u think of yourself as important as u think of yourself...poor boy, if i am right... times will be better, even 4 u, dear.. (yes, this was a bit sarcasm) 5. u know what? i often read in boards the words "use the search function" and blabla...so i suddenly stumbled in this post and wrote helpfully stats ..maybe 4 someone else as the topic creator...and even if the post is 10 years old, there is no need 2 be rude, my "i know it all"

instead of "explaining" your eyerolling and taking it literally, i wanted an "apologize your unnecessary and offensive behaviour" but even this u couldnt "read between" the lines... maybe again my prologue is right, than everything is alright, poor boy and else: learn manners before u talk 2 adults, kid... i am 2 old 4 this ****

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] locolyric:
the only tablet that come to my mind is ,

xiaomi pad 4.

8 inch 1920x 1200 resolution

stereo speaker.

4gb ram with 32gb rom plus sd card expansion,

custom rom up to android 10 now.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] madmaxmedia:
In 2021 the 8.9 HDX is still my favorite form factor for the reasons you mention- easy to hold with one hand due to thicker bezel, light weight, and the grippy coating on the back. I also mainly use for reading and watching video, the hi-res 8.9 display is great for that.

These are much cheaper today on EBay, etc. and they run reasonably well with custom ROM. I only wish it had 3GB RAM for smoother performance with GApps, but this is a 2013 tablet. I think the biggest detriment now is that they all have old batteries with varying degrees of degradation.

If you don't care about holding one-handed, the 2021 HD 10 is only somewhat more when they are on sale and I think the most practical choice. The 3GB RAM really helps it run smoothly with Google Play and the Amazon stuff all running side-by-side.

Using LG V50 Korean KT version in UK (LM-V500N)

Hi All,

I have the LG V50 Korean KT version LM-V500N and have been using it in the UK on the Vodafone Network. Unfortunately it doesn't appear to connect to the 5G service.

Does anyone know if there is a limitation or incompatibility on this version as the reason it doesn't work with 5G?

My SIM is and 5G coverage is ok as I have also used a Samsung 5G and it works with my SIM.

I haven't yet tried an EE 5G SIM to see if it works on that network.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

EE doesnt work also.How is the korean version ?I am thinking to buy one from wonda.
[LG V50 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] ssd_ssd:
Thanks for confirming EE 5G doesn't also work. I went to an EE shop and asked them to check if my V50 would work by inserting a 5G SIM but they refused. Most unhelpful staff.

I really like the V50, upgraded from V30 which I also really liked. Only problem is some KT specific menu are still Korean language.

There is one menu called GIGA 5G when enabling asks for KT SIM to be inserted.

Once it is possible to crossflash with open Europe firmware might fix this I hope. Also maybe 5G in Europe?

Thanks

- able to put in Download Mode

- connected to LG up, acknowledged and when adding the European ROM (V500EM10q_00_OPEN_EEA_OP_1018.kdz), added to queue to flash with no error alert

- able to select "Refurbish", "Upgrade"

- did not go through in pressing Flash as didn't want to brick the device.
