[Touch Pro, Fuze General] sepffuzzball:
So, I went to one of my local Best Buys in excitement, as the online locater showed the Sprint HTC Touch Pro in stock.

I got there, and of course the lady tech person said that she was not allowed to sell the phone until tomorrow. I asked if she could see her manager and get an exception, as I plan on driving to Orlando, FL tomorrow for a 2-month long business trip, and that I wanted to buy it from my local Best Buy.

I planned on buying it outright, as I'm not quite to my 1-year point on my HTC (Sprint) Mogul, but I've been watching the Raphael since I first heard about it back in March.

However, I went in expecting a $569 MSRP on the phone. They instead tried to sell it to me at the 'Regular' price of $749.99.

Am I being delusional thinking that Best Buy should be selling it outright at MSRP? Do I maybe have the wrong MSRP in my head?

I mean, $200 over MSRP for a cell phone doesn't quite make sense to me, seeing as the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price is still giving Best Buy a decent profit.

For anyone that wants the information, here's what Best Buy printed out for me:

Regular Price: $749.99

Upgrades - Individual and Family Plans (includes Sprint Rebate)

1 Year Agreement: $459.99

2 Year Agreement: $299.99

2 Year New Plan & Additional Lines

Family Plan Lines 2-5: $299.99

Rate Plan Below $59.99: $299.99

Rate Plan Above $59.99: $279.99
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] ScottC:
They were screwing with you. I picked up 2 today for $299 - 20% Rewardzone smartphone discount. The unconnected price sounds about right as the BestBuy price on the Touch Pro seems rather low (Sprint want $249 after a $100 MIR for the Diamond).

In the end, after selling my 2 moguls, I'll have upgraded for less than $150 to 2 Touch Pros. I'm pretty happy right now.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Baffles:
They weren't screwing with him, that is what they charge if you don't sign a new contract. Sign a new 2 year and you'll have no problem getting it for 299.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] slyng1:
Where did you get 2 for $299? I didn't think the phone was available yet...
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] slyng1:
Interesting "Currency" Play

How about this.... and disclaimer, I've never dealt with this website and have no idea how good/bad they are, however they are selling on ebay, so in order to continue to do biz on ebay you generally have to have good feedback. Anyway, here's the deal: http://www.cellengros.com/product_info.php?cPath=3&products_id=1263

$799 CAD (Canadian dollars), which at today's exchange rate of $0.78 per $1 Canadian) is about $625 US Dollars. (plus shipping). That compares very favorably with current prices on Ebay and the $750 US you quoted from Best Buy.

Has anyone ever dealt with these guys before? (or I could wait a week and get the Sprint/AT&T version, but the number pad on the ATT version kind of annoys me and i'm pretty sure that's the route i will have to go (wife on ATT)...)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] baboola:
assuming price with new contract is 300 - 20% = $240

how did you get each TP for $150? that's one heck of a deal!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Kraize:
Uh do the math? lol :rolleyes:

$240 x 2 = $480 = Price of 2 TP's

$115 x 2 = $330 = Price of him selling 2 Moguls?

So $480-$330 = $150? Btw. I think he meant both for $150.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] B18DelSolT:
i called my local bb, they said that they dont sell the phone outright. was gonna buy it and return it when it came out for sprint on next sunday lol... guess that got shut down
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] baboola:
ok that makes sense...i thought he meant the price he actually paid for the phones, not after subtracting the amount he got for selling Mogul :p
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] BBM-Lee:
Best Buy does allow you to buy the phones outright, perhaps he thought you were a reseller, or had a wait list of people wanting the phone
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] NexVision:
Picked mine up at BB yesterday $238.00 after tax.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] ScottC:
I meant that they were screwing with him by claiming they could not sell it yet.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] godfa7h3r:
I don't know where some of you are located but my Best Buy sells phones outright. I can also confirm that the Touch Pro can be purchased for $299 (New customer or upgrade price) plus 20% if you are a Rewards Zone member with no mail in rebates. More info can be found from the link below. It runs through November 1st.

https://myrewardzone.bestbuy.com/
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Kraize:
Pictures of the phone anyone?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] zexion:
I got mine for 239.99. ($256.79 after taxes).

I'm still going to try and send the $100 mail in rebate because I have one that doesnt specify the phone had to be bought from a sprint store or sprint.com... nothing to lose sending that in.

And yeah signed a 2 year agreement.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] NexVision:
Here's a copy of my receipt..
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] zexion:
Weird that they charged me an extra $16.... only thing i can think of is that they applied the 20% before all the instant savings to you, and they gave it to me AFTER the instant savings... retail was ~$750 like the OP said.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] nanoware:
I only qualify for the$75 via sprint store. So i would have to pay $750. NO way in hell im paying that much. Ill wait till next Sunday to get it cheaper via sprint store.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] moguluser08:
yeah i picked up a touch pro from bestbuy for 240.00 also using the extra 20 percent off card for smartphones a great steal and selling my mogul for 150 made out of pocket cost 90.00
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] lbhocky19:
it will not cost you 750 if your elligible for the one year upgrade i think its more like 4 or 450 just call the store and ask but there are 3 prices. 2 yr upgrade, 1 yr, and no upgrade
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] P0ll0L0c0:
I called a local Best Buy not long ago, hoping to use the 20% off of the $300 2 year activation price. But I was told that it would not work in conjunction with the activation discount. IE - I could get 20% off of 750, or the phone for $300.

I printed out the receipt listed above, and plan to talk to them anyway after work. However, is there anything else I can reference to get the 20% discount applied to the $300 new activation cost? I hate arguing over prices.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Kraize:
Go to the rewardzone website and print out what it says about the 20% off. I'm pretty sure it said off activation. Not retail pricing.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] lbhocky19:
yeah just show it to them if its from reward zone. over the phone they give you the basics its rare you get two discounts but yeah reward zone stuff overrides in the system you should be fine
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] P0ll0L0c0:
Thanks guys! I was able to get it for $257. Which is awesome - there was one left, already reserved when I left the store.

I didn't even need to use the receipt shown above, a manager was called over and I got the discount immediately.

I'm still playing with my new toy - but I have to admit I was a little surprised to see only 203 megs of RAM, with about 130 available to the user. I was expecting a little more. I'll search the forum, but I wonder if other Sprint users are seeing the same?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] lbhocky19:
i think thats about right for the att one as well they kept alot for the processor itself or something

but roms can free it up i believe
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Kraize:
Mhm. But sorry for you Sprint TP users buddy. :( No rom upgrading unless it's a rom w/o radio. Even then, it's risky, because these roms are based on GSM roms.

I have a LG G6 and a Pixel2XL laying around. I also have a T-mobile unlimited data sim. It only seems to work with a tablet. When I put it in the phone it says I've used up the hotspot data. Is there a way to make the sim think the phone is just a tablet?

My bluetooth is losing connection with speaker, headset etc.

It doesn't matter how far my phone and speaker it's still losing connection.

I found some threads on reddit but couldn't find anything to fix.

Is there anyone here know about that issue and the fix ?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Yunks505:
I've got an SM-g960u with snapdragon 845. Its an "unlocked Verizon phone". Won't work well with my straight talk (no MMS, and always roaming). I've been told to flash the original unlocked firmware(CSC is XAA). I've tried many times on multiple computers and data cords, Odin says can't communicate with serial com port or something. I have Samsung drivers. Do I need to have my bootloader unlocked? I've tried and there's no OEM unlock option in developer settings. I've tried all the tutorials online, and read that the snapdragon 845 won't allow you to unlock the bootloader, its impossible. Is that true? Does that mean I could never use a custom ROM? And i heard Odin fails because my computer has a solid state drive? Any other reason why I would be roaming and no mms? S10s don't have this issue, should I just get an s10?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexman1a:
I've recently bought and read the book of Jason Tyler: Xda developer's hacker's toolkit, and I like it very much; it is very well written and contains very clear explanations.

I can say it is the best book about android architecture and toolkits.

It help me very much and it is book for entry level in android's world.

I have to say that I really expected to find some information about frp, but not a single word about this.

I've also searched information about frp reset here, on this marvelous forum, but I didn't find it.

I need to know if it is any exploit or procedure to find where is located frp zone and how can be initialized/reset it without enable adb or usb debugging for Samsung phones.

Thank you

Hi All.

Has anyone using the Samsung Internet Browser managed to set the url Browser to be at the bottom of the page on their Fold³ ?

I'm also looking to move the Samsung Internet Browser menu tabs that show after the url bar to the bottom if it's possible.

I've seen the guide saying on the Samsung Internet Browser go into Settings, Layout and Menu and the option to move the url to the bottom is there. This is missing on my version.

https://www.androidcentral.com/how-m...ternet-browser

My Samsung Internet Browser is version 16.0.6.23

I've also checked out the Samsung Internet Browser Beta and it's not there either.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] AMoosa:
You need to use Samsung internet Beta which you can find on the Play Store
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] BandOfBrothers1:
It appears the browser url will only show at the bottom on the outer screen and not the inner screen on the Fold ³

There are a variety of different apps that all have their own style. I suggest that you peruse this forum, http://www.modaco.com, and also the XDA wiki for the Kaiser/tilt. there are MANY great programs to be found. Just install the .cab files or install them through activesync.

My personal favorites are (in no particular order):

Opera Browser 9.5 Beta

Skyfire Browser

Google Maps

PocketCAS (computer algebra system that can solve non-numeric equations)

SmartGear(multi-emulator software, have to pay for it but it's the smallest and fastest and stablest of all I've tried.)

HTC Home (comes standard with HTC ROMS and the new AT&T 6.1 ROM)

Total Commander (file browser that can edit system files)

Advanced Config (allows you to tweak many different settings in the Kaiser)

S2U2 (locking program that emulates the iphone locker)

iContact (great contact list you can scroll with your finger.)

There is also a cab to install of Paul's Picks and Tweaks which is a really good way to get some good tweaks right off the bat.

I used to have the classic Mobile Network standby battery drain issue, until I flashed CalyxOS.

I left my phone with 100% battery before I went to bed last night and woke up this morning 8 hours later with no drain of any kind at all.

Might be an option for anyone else with the same issue.
[Google Pixel 6] mojorisin7178:
Interesting. So that confirms it's a software issue and not hardware. Which is a relief. It means Google can fix it via OTA update. Hopefully enough people reported it that Google took notice. i am on chat with google now and they want me to factory reset. I was hoping to avoid that
