If you go to any T-Mobile store and just tell them that RadioShack is offering the G2 as an UPGRADE for $150 with _instant_rebate, they will price match. They can verify it online, if they argue, ask for the manager. You're better off buying it from the T-Mobile store as it offers you the greatest flexibility in many respects (14 day return policy/phone swap/etc.)
[G2 and Desire Z General] kgold708:
I got mine for $130, no contract or upgrade. Through Asurion claim on a broken G1, did it twice in fact.
[G2 and Desire Z General] davebu:
got mine for $300 no contract
[G2 and Desire Z General] scrizz:
i returned mine
[G2 and Desire Z General] 3xploited:
I got it for $400 bucks too from craigs....sealed box....and was able to get the data plan for $20/month through customer loyalty rep ;)
[G2 and Desire Z General] meltedmoops999:
It was around $295 with tax and all that junk. Mail in rebate will take $50 off. You gotta do what you gotta do! $50 dollars is worth it.
[G2 and Desire Z General] dancingwombat:
I called to "find out how number porting works" today. I've been with TMo for 5+ years, and am currently out of contract.

Got the phone for $149 + tax and ship, no upgrade fee. 2-year renewal, kept my old G1 plan rates.
[G2 and Desire Z General] creepinm3:
I payed $259.99 no taxes or fees (said I would cancel) but the phone is worth $600 with no contract I asked the rep before buying..
[G2 and Desire Z General] phragg:
Traded my Vibrant for it :hellyaw:
[G2 and Desire Z General] Krisrk:
$ 747.00

Reason... I returned two defective G2s. First the screen flickered, the second the charging port failed. I am now on my third G2 and T-Mobile has still not credited my account. I've called dozens of times, and spent 40 minutes on one of those phone calls. They have both returned but are claiming 30 - 60 days could pass before I get a credit. Which on the first has already passed, and they still want me to pay next months bill which is part of the $747.00 which will be my total cost until T-Mobile quits dragging me along for the ride.

Paid $380 for mine off of Craigslist. Then sold my Nexus One for $350.
[G2 and Desire Z General] senone:
they did that to me as well, I called got the run around for days, I paid 280 for the phone, 160 and 4 payments of 40, i returned the fone 3 days later via ups no credit till yesteday, and I paid cash in the store 280. - 50 rebate, - 28 for shipping and activation in the store. so I come out ahead like 202 for the fone not bad.

Sorry but i kept calling and stayed on the phone till i got someone smart. JD powers ranks thier customer service number one my eye

199 with a 2 year contract
[G2 and Desire Z General] akirium:
$199 upgrade. I'm still within my 14 day period so I'm going to go back to the store I purchased and try to get a return or a $150 credit since it's $49.99 on Amazon Wireless. I'll just threaten to cancel or something since my service is up in less than a month if I were to return the phone.
[G2 and Desire Z General] chaose:
got mine for $450 contract free at a tmobile store.

also got an unlimited data plan for $10 a month.

I was considering getitng it from newegg for $179 and a 2 year contract with $30 data plan, but buying the phone off contract with the $10 data plan was cheaper.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Okawa:
After every thing was all said and done... I paid only 25 dollars for mine ^_^
[G2 and Desire Z General] djsinco:
I made $54 on the G2...

I got mine at Costco last month when they offered it at $149.99 (upgrade) with $50 mail in rebate. I was in the same store yesterday and the price was at $129.99 - asked membership if they would price match, and the looked up my receipt in the system and handed me a 20 dollar bill. I think the 129 price is not eligible for the rebate, but I don't tell them how to run their business. So, after rebate comes back next month, including sales tax, I will have about $112 invested in my G2. I also sold my 2-year old N85 on eBay for $166 as soon as I bought the G2, so my cost is a profit of $54 - beat that!
[G2 and Desire Z General] dadewy:
Yeah Costco is great. Got in on their $49 G2 deal a couple weeks ago. $49 for the phone, free (cheesy, admittedly) case and an OK BT earset. Add the salestax on all of the free stuff (they have to charge it) and out-the-door was like $70.

I'd sell my old phone and make a tidy profit too, if it wasn't soaked in hydraulic fluid :rolleyes: and doing a great impression of a lava-lamp.
[G2 and Desire Z General] instigator008:
Same here...bnib!
[G2 and Desire Z General] nonexiztense:
$00.00 for me. I called them when my mt3g broke and *****ed for like an hour and got 2 supervisors before they said they would send me the G2 to test it out and see if I like it. No contract renewal FTW... lol
[G2 and Desire Z General] jaZzyjeff818:
For those of you with the $20 unlimited data plan, what kind of text messaging plan do you have (if any)? I pay $34.99 for unlimited text and web and wanted to see if I can get in on that $20 web plan as some of you got through customer loyalty, but I still want unlimited text. I've been with T-Mobile for 5 years and used to have the Sidekick unlimited plan for $20 and I've read that some people get grandfathered plans transfered over. Is there anything like a $25 or $30 unlimited text/web pan for Android? I mean thinking about it I guess its like I basically have unlimited web for $20 and unlimited text for $14.99, bringing it to $34.99, but anything cheaper would be better...
[G2 and Desire Z General] djsinco:
I have unlimited web and 400 texts for 24.99, and unlimited calling for 49.99. It is the "Unlimited Loyalty Plan," not to be confused with the Customer Loyalty Dept. I think you can get on a Loyalty plan if you are with TMo for a certain number of months with no late payment. I am grandfathered in on the web and text, and I doubt you will be offered a similar deal, much less a better one. If you beat my deal, please let me know!
[G2 and Desire Z General] dancingwombat:
I had the $25 G1-specific plan that gave unlimited web and 400 text messages. When I renewed my contract and got my G2, they kept the rate but the plan changed a little - I have a $20 unlimited data service, and a separate $5 400-sms plan.
[G2 and Desire Z General] witeboy07:
Had a rooted hd2 with froyo 2.2 which I traded for a vibrant which I rooted and sold for $300,which is what my brand new g2 costed.ya
[G2 and Desire Z General] shortlived:
I payed full price of about 500 with no contracts however i got a g2 and a g1 with unlimited everything on both for about 140 a month. The plan is actually cheaper with no contract...go figure.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Sv3nt3k:
Same as the above poster. I just went ahead and fully purchased the phone for full price, no contract. It was much cheaper to do it that way than to extend my contract and pay for the phone at a discounted price. Even the manager at the store suggested that to me, haha.
[G2 and Desire Z General] migueltherocker:
$200 on craigslist, picking it tomorrow ;)

[Droid Incredible General] kjeksomanen:
I'm having the same issue. Information about the network I can't connect to is found below:

SSID: eduroam

Security Mechanism: WPA2/AES-CCMP, WPA2/enterprise, WPA/TKIP or WPA-enterprise

Authentication: PEAP (Protected EAP, EAP-PEAP)

Authenticationprotocol: MS-CHAP-v2

Normally when I connect to the same network with my laptop, I need to put in a username and a password, but I'm not able to put in any username on the phone.

Do you need any apps to solve this problem?

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Div033:
Ever since I got my droid incredible I've been rather disappointed with the screen. I'd say its the best device on Verizon aside from the poor battery life (fixed by slipping in a 1500mah battery) and the pentile matrix AMOLED screen. I love the vibrant colors it produces, but I'm a web junkie on my phone. This means that 90% of the time I'm looking at a pure white screen thus contributing to more battery drain and blurry text all thanks to the AMOLED screen.

So when I heard that they would start replacing AMOLED with SLCD, I got a little happy. Not too happy, because I'm stuck with an AMOLED version. I'm almost two months into my dinc ownership and would like then next 16-22 months to be a little more readable.

I got to thinking, I could sell this and buy a new one, yada yada, but what about doing a screen replacement myself? I've seen it done on youtube and it doesn't look terribly hard. But I have a few reservations:

1. Would my current hardware (version 02) accept a SLCD screen? I noticed that the new hardware version with the SLCD is 03, so I don't know if there's a firmware issue here.

2. Can you even buy SLCD replacements yet? I've looked around a bit and many stores offer "LCD Replacements". I don't understand what is meant by that since AMOLED screens are that I've known of to be available to incredibles. Are they cheap unofficial TFT panels? I'm after the juicy IPS panel SLCD, I'd rather keep my AMOLED than a cheap LCD. My concern is that they won't ever become available.

3. Performing such in depth hardware surgery will surely void my warranty and put me at risk to ruin my phone. This is a given though.

If anyone has any info regarding those above points then please share your knowledge. Thanks for reading and hopefully others have thought about this as well :)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ogkhaze:
SLCD is junk, it isn't a good thing that they're replacing the screens, they're doing it because Samsung is using all their smiled and super amoled screens on their own devices, thus being back ordered for everybody else. There's a reason HTC used the smiled first, if the SLCD was any better they would have used it.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smellyfungus:
I completely disagree w/ ogkhaze I actually never considered the incredible until it got the slcd. Amoled sucks imo. I hate the over saturated colors and the pentile's pixel layout. The slcd has better color accuracy and text is nice and clear.

Dunno how the fact that amoled was used first makes it any better.

Anyways you can try getting your phone replaced I.e. with your warranty but make sure you request one with an slcd. Dunno if that will work though
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Div033:
Getting a replacement seems like a decent way to go about it, but I'd need a legitimate reason (I'd think) and I don't have the first idea how to con that :)

Obviously there are varying opinions on the screen types... SLCD is better for my uses, but AMOLED has its merits as well.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kungfuturkey:
Well if you're trying to get a replacement you can always go the insurance route and hope you get SLCD or you can say that you're phones speaker is blown they aren't going to check it and call you out or anything.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 11RJB:
Verizon replaced my phone when I told them that my phone was rebooting all the time, at complete random, and without any rhyme or reason. Granted, it actually WAS having problems, but if you warranty the thing and they find no issues, what will they do, ask for the replacement back? I doubt it.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeymop:
Say the AMOLED burned in in the corner, where it says AM/PM. People had woahs like that with the N1 and the notification bar. Demand you get an SLCD replacement so it doesn't happen again. If it works for you I'll try the same, I want an SLCD so I can use a white notification bar and not worry about suffering the N1's fate

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] shuntje:
For the battery try this little trick it always works for me. Charge your phone in windows mobile to 100%. Boot to android and let it discharge recharge and it wil reach 100% including the green led.

The trick is getting your bat up to 100% when booting android. For the compass its working 100% in nand (claimed and proven on youtube) but not yet on SD it appears that there are some residual threads or something farking up the compass seeing it works fully on nand but not on SD.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] shaiq123:
Compass is working perfectly fine with the new New Kernels. Look under the development section for the same.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] m4rk46:
I try this trick but my battery in windows display 100%, after boot Andorid display 99%.:confused:
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] shuntje:
Try and make sure that you use the only charge option in windows mobile or use active sync while booting at 100%. (if you use it as storage device you cant boot wile connected) or hook it up to the charger and then boot it while connected.

[Epic 4G General] Xerloq:
Wondering if anyone else has had issues with the touchscreen sensitivity. Occasionally my screen freaks out: swype grabs all the wrong letters, drawing a jagged line instead of a smooth one; the unlock screen refuses to recognize my presses, or jumps all over the place. Other times it just won't respond. I've already started an exchange process, but I'm curious if anyone else is having this issue.

Oh, it happens whether rooted or not, custom rom or not. Right now I'm 100% stock for the exchange.

Also, my search of the forum found nothing.

Thanks.
[Epic 4G General] Xerloq:
I tested with the multi touch visualization tool, and sure enough, the screen registers touches that aren't there, and the test jumps all over the screen regardless vb off how still I hold.
[Epic 4G General] APOLAUF:
The only thing that I could think of is that at some moment, your CPU is becoming very busy and not registering inputs correctly. However, I haven't noticed the symptoms you are describing. Sounds like the digitizer is not working properly.
[Epic 4G General] Xerloq:
I thought that might be the case. On your post, I restarted my phone when the symptoms started. No dice.

I called Sprint, and have a replacement on the way.
[Epic 4G General] APOLAUF:
Good deal, hope your new one responds normally. :)
[Epic 4G General] DiNoise:
my touch recognition was going crazy when I plugged my phone to charge thru some cheap usb charger from ebay, it has the same specs (5v 1a) as my HTC charger which worked fine on Epic. So that was weird.
[Epic 4G General] Xerloq:
I isolated the behavior while the phone is charging. It's really bad on the cheap charger, but still happens on the Samsung stock charger - with both phones.

I'm at a loss now. I can't use my phone while it's plugged in.
[Epic 4G General] narn17:
Yes, I have the same problem and it only happens when i have it charging. It becomes useless because it completely ignores all touches.
[Epic 4G General] Mutiny32:
I also deduced my touchscreen issues to it solely happening when the phone is plugged in. It seems to be some sort of grounding issue; having two different grounds when the phone is plugged in. This is a big no-no.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lkakarotto:
Hey,

I've been looking everywhere and I can't seem to find someone as unlucky as me... lol!

Thing is that the 3 button combo has never worked for me, but clockworkmod USED to.

After I flashed to Cog 2.2, it is giving me this error:

-- Install from package...

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

Verifying update package...

E:failed to verify whole file signature

E:signature verification failed

-- Applying Multi-CSC...

Installing Multi-CSC

Installation aborted.

Now, I have read that some people have flashed with Odin to JF6, then reflashed to JI6 to end with Cog 2.2 and the clockworkmod works for them... BUT, since I can't do the god damned 3 button combo, that's not an option for me.

Any ideas? I'd like to go back to 2.1, I don't know why but Cog 2.2 is painfully slow on my captivate, even with the OneClick Lagfix... clockworkmod was my only option and now I found that it stopped working for no specific reason.

Now, I understand that the recovery moves into clockworkmod when you choose "resinstall packages"... and I was thinking that, maybe if someone shares the update.zip that clockwork creates, one that WORKS, maybe I can try that and see?

This became frustrating after almost 2 hours reading and googling everything I could think of :(

Thanks in advance to anyone that can help.
