"Marketplace" mods please move this. Thanks.
Or delete the thread. I believe the OP has already opened a new thread in the marketplace. Btw, I'm happy to see that you sold your Focus, Charlie

Thank u. Im apart of the sensation and vibrant crowd now
Hi everyone, this is my first time posting a new thread. Sorry if it doesn't go here or it's a repeat.
Tomorrow, I'm going to buy a new Galaxy Nexus off someone I just met. I am allowed to check the phone before I finish the deal. The question is, is there anything in particular I need to check before I make the deal? I'm with Rogers in Canada so I expect it to work with this service provider.
Make sure that it isn't a fake. Saw a video of a pretty convincing imposter recently. Check the water mark tags for water damage too.

Make a test call. Test gps and wifi if possible.
And yes ^^^^ watch out for fakes, some guy got screwed a week or so ago off a deal on Craigs list.

Hello all!
It'd be nice to get some guidance on my upgrade (Yes, i know some just think.. "aww ****, to hell with all these ppls upgrade posts" so if that person is you, don't bother givin me **** for moving on. everyone does. thanks.)
First of all,
It sucks balls to leave this awesome community.
I've learned a sh*t-ton about my Epic and many other things from some very respected people, who all friggen rock. lol.
Soo, onto my topic & small dilemma.
The upgrade date is Dec. 1st, 2012. Although, I love the style & feel of my Epic, I may be heading towards something a bit different. I have gone down to the Sprint store and checked out some really cool devices but I'm kind of sitting here scratching my head because I'm very picky, luckily though, I was (offf coursee) drawn to the Galaxy S III.
Given its lightening fast 1.5GHz dual-core processors,2100 mAh Lithium Ion battery (9hrs talk time), beautiful (yet kinda big) display (4.8" to be exact), the JB OS, 16/32GB memory, 2GB RAM and other things here and there. Now, the Note II, damn dude, talk about a big display. That one takes the cake. Idk if I could really be happy/satisfied with such a monster display ... 5.5" ?? & I know thats not THAT much bigger than the S III but in hand you'll see the difference.
On the other hand, theS Pen™, 3100 mAh Lithium Ion battery (15hrs talk time), 1.6 GHz Samsung Exynos Quad-core processors alone sounds damn good to me. The only thing that bothers me (obviously) is the bigger display.. So I'm considering other devices because these 2 devices give me a headache sometimes lol.
Anyway, my options & opinions are open for anything.. I'm not tooo picky and my mind is NOT set on just those 2 phones.. I was just throwing them out there because I like 'em both. 
One thing..
Don't even think about mentioning the iPhone's,  that is one phone I'd just piss on nd save the p.o.s as a weapon against the zombies, then let those retards have at it (hopefully piss on it too.)
So, apart from that, I'd like to hear some input from you guys n gals.
&maybe even whoever has upgraded from the Epic and is happy with their pick.. Your wisdom, knowledge & opinions are appreciated! either way its all good so let me know!  Thank you in advance.

Why not still stick with keyboards? America variants of S3 ALL SUCKS to me. Now on market you can have LG Mach, Moto Photon Q and (later) Verizon Stratosphere 2... And if I were you I would definitely first consider a Nexus 4 (all powerful and better than S3, though have to wait for a bit)

Trust me bro my eyes have been open for some decent devices with physical keyboards that have at least like dual processors, so far I haven't seen much.
Prolly because I have Sprint nd Sprint doesn't have the biggest selection of pretty good phones (like the Nexus). I wish. I don't see many disadvantages with getting the SGSIII, imo. But everybody feels different.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
Your best bet is still the 2 threads in General that I recommended to you. But the S3 is awesome but you will miss the keyboard for a few months. Samsung seems to have listened and fixed everything we complained about of both Epics S and S2.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
Yes I've been reading through those threads the last couple days or so. Its hard to say, because if Id like to keep the physical keyboard then, to my knowledge, I have one choice: Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE. Unless I were to go with the S III. Are you happy with the S III?

I am very happy with the S3. It is light years ahead of the Epic. I will not lie and say I don't miss my keyboard but the voice to text is really very good and getting used to the on screen keyboard in landscape.

Yeah, exactly, on one side of the coin it's new improved technologies and all. Then on the other, there's no keyboard but I figure i'll get used to that.
Kenny, I believe your just the man for guidance here lol. You have great knowledge on this and you switched from the Epic to the SIII. Like I said in my op, I'm looking for input from someone who has done that.
So I suppose i'm asking you if you think the SIII might be the one for me.. ?
Since your happy with the switch and you've been a big help from the start with me.
Thank you.

No. They can't give you that price without an eligible upgrade line. You will get used to the keyboard or lack there of. The phone is truly amazing with 4 times the RAM and 16 times the phone storage plus an available sd card slot. When I got it all I did was root and run stock for a month because if was so damn fast and smooth. You won't be disappointed. Call Sprint to see if you can move your upgrade up a week.

I called and got it figured out. I think tmrw my upgrade will be eligible if I pay the $50. If I send my Epic to them, they said I'll get $28 for it and the $50 will be billed to my sprint account next pay. So, basically, if I go for it, I'll be paying $72 for the early upgrade and a new SIII not bad eh? It sounds like a deal. I can't imagine 4x the RAM lol that is a huge improvement, not to mention the other awesome specs and features that come with it.
It very well may be the SGSIII for me... Hey and if it is maybe Ill be bugging you even more for help
Im sure I'll decide to root it and flash a nice stock rom.

Outstanding! I knew you'd figure it out, your the mastermind of operations! haha
I LUCKILY received my SIII today, at first they told me they were sold out and I got there an hour after they opened! No one had even gone there and gotten one yet... AND THEY WERE SOLD OUT?! wtf?..
So, since they love me oh so dearly there, they had a couple stashed away and grabbed one for me. Like I said, luckily. lol
I had a question though, maybe you have the answer lol, do you know if the SIII is root-able withoutt Odin via starting the Odin flash counter ? Or should I not worry about it and just buy a usb jig when the time comes?
Thanks Kenny

Hockey puck, paper weight, an extremely small tablet, backup camera, VOIP phone on WiFi only, etc etc. I think you may can sell it internationally, may even be able to sell it domestically; just make sure you say it's got a bad esn either way.

Sell it, try selling on eBay or even Craiglist, and make sure you inform next buyer on current ESN capabilities.

because its always encouraged to walk on your two feet. and not to mention hundreds of threads are closed everyday because they ask the same thing. people who are spoonfed tend to make the most mistakes, then come crying and blaming the people for their lack of research/reading. and i know this isnt one of those types of threads where something can brick, but its always good to end bad habits early
and if im not mistaken, isnt it one of XDAs suggestions/rules to search before you post? the search bar is there for a reason
as for the OP, its always suggested when buying phones off craigslist, that you meet up with the seller in the store and check the phones status before payment. Or just use ebay so that you have ebays buyer protection for situations like this. Or use swappa, havent used it myself but ive heard good things Either resell it, donate it to a dev, or use it as a paperweight.
but of course, this was all said in another thread.....

A QA Thread is used to answer questions that have not been asked and also hold threads that have already been answered. What's the point of asking something if it's already been answered more than once?
That's like going to a Meeting, someone asks a question and has it answered so everyone can hear. Then you follow up next and ask the exact same question.
Here you go, searched the forums, first 3 results:

agreed, and on page 3 of this same forum was the answer.
So, how's the selling going
Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk 4
Tmobile Galaxy S4's don't have "bad esns" because they don't even use ESNs. That's for cdma phones. Tmobile uses IMEIs. That's for GSM.
Anyway, good luck selling it, I would value that for about 300 tops if in New condition, if noticeable use, 200. But don't you dare go lower. Lol. If you're trying to sell for more than 300, you are only contributing to the rip off you were wronged on. Most people who know what a bad imei is wouldn't be dumb enough to buy it, so you'd be ripping off an unknowledgeable innocent guy.
