Hot Dog....finally got my Note II. I've been waiting for Sprint to get a Note variant since they orginal Note first launched in Europe.
Came close to switching carriers a few times becuase Sprint never seemed to want to catch-up.
I'm glad I waited though.
The Note II is awesome.
:victory:
Congrats and welcome ! I'm hoping we have a very active community. Fingers are crossed!
got mine too ..... the sprint store only had 4 :victory:
Yes yes I have very high hopes for this community. This is the only phone I have bought on launch day along with all of the anxiety and anticipation to go along with it.

Just got mine also! Oh man is this thing awesome. I've waited for something like this and had an Epic 4g slider the whole time.
I've been a bad boy, I know I shouldn't but the temptation is killing me. My Evo LTE will get push to the kid (hope I don't regret the switch). Now on to root and all.
I got one too.

Well, how's the difference? LOL....I too have the Epic 4g and have to wait until tomorrow to go to the Sprint store.
I am REALLY getting tired of the daily lockups/reboots.
Picked up mine a couple of hours ago. Loving it so far!
Everyone I work with is getting a kick out of it every time I get a call! "Look, Ricks talking to his laptop again."

This is my first full touch screen so it's really different as I could text without looking before. All I need is a hotspot workaround and this phone will be awesome! It makes the epic feel like an old Palm.
I have to wait until 12/1 for mine :crying:

Yea me too but they just opened this forum. Ive been lurking in the international one. So maybe this will pick up. Plus from what I can tell, the launch seemed very limited. Anyway, I have never seen a nicer phone outta the box. Put root on this sucker and ill be a happy camper!

Wife and I got the only 2 white ones the store had... felt stupid being the only 2 there at 8 but it paid off when the next guy to come said they only would have 4 phones, 2 white and 2 gray. 4 people walked in and got sent away to look at other stores.
yeah all the stores i called said people bought them out when they opened the doors..then the store that had on left said that people were buying 3 and 4 of them at a time...didnt think this phone would be that popular..ive had the og evo, galaxy , galaxy s2 and about 4 or 5 other android devices as ive bounced around from carrier to carrier, and NEVER had a problem finding a store that had the phone i wanted until today.
First store I went to their lock broke on the cabinet holding the phones. They couldn't get into it to sell them. Drove another 10 minutes and got a grey one at another sprint store. Really liking it so far

You have to make sure that after you Odin you factory reset. It also resets the status from modified to normal.

It releases on 1st of May for T-Mobile. Some carriers are doing a pre-order special where if you pre-order you get it on 24th of April, but T-Mobile isn't one of the carriers I don't think.

Lets hope that we can take other carriers versions and flash them to T-Mobile since they're all the same... Why? Because I'm not paying 640 bucks for a phone. Sprint phones almost always end up on eBay much cheaper than retail.
If you have a GS3 there isn't really much of a point of upgrading to the GS4... I'd wait for the 3Q and 4Q devices to drop. This beast still has plenty of oomph in it...

Why? (asking legitimate question)
I thought the S3 and Nexus 4 were pretty much the same spec wise?
I had an LG phone before and had a terrible experience... And LG doesn't give a crap about customers with problems. In fact they (lg) went out of the way to erase Facebook complaints comments, etc... I seriously doubt I'd buy another LG device.

I'll be waiting to see what the Motorola X and what nexus devices launch. Also rumor or the Sony xperia line coming to Tmobile so I'm gonna check that out as well. No point in upgrading from s3 to s4.
I've seen the s4 in person since I work in a store and the Samsung rep brought it to us and it is a beautiful phone. The screen on it rivals that of my 42" Samsung TV as far as quality of picture. For anyone not already on an s3, it is a wonderful upgrade but I Dont see the point in going from s3 to s4 especially with s3 rooted on 4.2.2
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 2
I, too, have heard rumors about the Xperia line coming to T-Mobile and I am quite interested.
As for the Nexus 4, don't do it... The build quality is terrible... Just go play with one at a store... And as was said, LG makes terrible devices. The G2x was the biggest fail of a device I've seen in a long time - which really sucked given its potential. A lot of people really hate the Nexus 4. If you DO get one, make sure you get a super case for it.
I had an LG Optimus 3D. Suffered from Ghost calls and Ghost text. People would call, the line would ring on their side but the phone wouldn't make a peep. Same for text, they would send, but they would never get delivered to the phone. LG swept it under the rug. Erased the Facebook comments complaints. And to my knowledge never acknowledged the flaw or offered a solution. It's well documented in the lg forums right here on XDA.
After that I said I wouldn't buy another LG if I could avoid it. (never say Never... LOL)

Did you use triangle away to set your flash counter back to zero also check your device status so it says normal too, Not sure if you did all this just a heads up. By old phone you mean a different device besides your sg3
Then yes you can use a old phone

You'll have to go back to a normal sim and then back to micro with the new phone if I'm right.. Maybe there's an adapter?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
not sure how that is going to work since you just got the S3. i know they are doing new pricing plans, but i just got my daughter the iphone5 but since i was not up for a full upgrade i paid $200 down, but only pay $12 a month for it instead of $99 and $20 like advertised. you may have to lay out a lot of money to get the S4 now. it shows $149 down and $20 a month, but that is usually for new customers or those of us who have a full upgrade available
i could be wrong though
I dont see a point in upgrading from s3 to s4. but from s3 to note 3 that should be worth it. Well who knows the wife just got the new HT C ONE and its a good phone in my opinion but I had bad experience with the Amaze before. I think that if you are interested in roms Samsung is the way to go with. with its unlock bootloader out of the box and easy to dev with. When HTC you have to wait for S-OFF etc
Release for online just got pushed back to April 29th.
Smh!
Might as well wait till May 1st and get it at a store instead of dealing with shipping.

Hi guys, after having a faulty Note 3 for about a month I have requested a new phone from Tmobile.
They have promised me a "Like New" device, not refurbished.
But I do not really trust them, I have a feeling like even my phone is not new.
I know that there must be a way to check if my phone is new or refurbished. I have 4.3 android installed.
All the standard codes do not work ... ##786# etc .... can anyone help? Maybe point me to some app?
P.S.
Nova launcher did not help either.
Thank you.
after a month, yes you're getting a refurbished device. new exchange is 14 days or less, everyone knows that. stop worrying if its refurbished, if it works better than your last one then all is fine... just focus on testing the replacement and make sure that it works for you. if it works fine then move on. its a refurbished replacement. its replacing your damaged device.
it'll be fine

My whole question is how to test the new device ....
Just regular check ... ? Or maybe there is some kind of an app.
And I do not think its fair that I should get a refurbished device if I received a bad one since day one.
No app can test a phone like fully. It is under warranty. Plus you won't have it long enough. Just enjoy it

Bastards sent me a refurb phone, basically i lost 400 bucks in value for nothing.
Also it has a minor scratch on the screen and the S-Pen doesnt get out without a fight. I have requested another one.
NEVER WILL I BUY PHONES ONLINE.
any phone you get from tmobile from exchangers are going to be refurbs. I got one but I'm not complaining. This refurb is better than my new one. No more Unstable wifi. And it can handle being uv so much better
Also all the S pens are hard to get out. It will get easier over time.
As for the scratch call and *****. They will replace it

I wonder if I got a refurb when I bought my note from mobile. I had an issue with the phone not wanting to boot after pulling the battery and replacing. I didn't notice this until months after. I recently left tmobile for straight talk so I couldn't take it back to them. So I decided to send into Samsung even though I tripped Knox. They fixed it (according to the service website) and its on its way back. I'll test out out to make sure, then sell it.

G3 runs out of the box as well as any phone out there including those running custom roms.... LG has done a bang up job on it. One reason that devs are lagging I suspect.... Good luck to you...
Sent from my LG-D851 using Tapatalk
Dont really think this post was needed but hey, its here...
The G3 has its drawbacks as any phone does honestly, a locked bootloader is just that. Either wait it out, dont buy it or move along. All this was known prior to buying the phone so its your call, not like its a surprise. The T-Mobile version, being unlocked doesnt have enough base support for Devs to be overly interested in it and will be slow going. Hopefully once a fully working AOSP build is available things, at least for the T-Mobile version should pick up some. If you want an out the box supported phone do research prior to buying it, Nexus, One Plus One, HTC, Motorola etc. Companies that either give you the tolls to unlock, or model lines that are unlocked across all carriers are the way to go now a days...shouldnt be surprising.

So now your wanting the Nexus 6? You said the Note 4 would blow the G3 away so I thought you were set on it. I had Galaxy phones and the Note 2 but got tired of the same design. I'm thinking on trying the Note 4 but still happy with my G3. Also thinking on the Z3 just because it's something different. Last 3 phones were LG G2, Flex and G3. Also thought about iPhone 6 but that probably won't happen.

i thought about the M8 but i couldnt get over two simple things that bugged me, first i didnt feel the screen size was sufficient because of the htc logo on the bottom took too much space and second was the camera, i have a toddler and i need to film everything.... maybe that rumored htc m8-eye..... or nexus x if its not 5.9' size.
so much to love about the G3 as well, if business picks up here in the following month i wont feel the pressure to jump one more time.
love the feel, the size of the screen is perfect, and the bezels alone just make this easily the best looking phone of the year.
Ok guys, so far there have been some ROM improvements but no real aosp roms for our variant. I knew I should have went gsm instead. So I'm going to drop by tmobile tomorrow and see what they can do about putting me into a LG G4. I wish Bliss would release something for our variant.
I tried the g4 and traded it in after 7 days. It was not the same caliber phone as the s6. The one i had was plagued with the unresponsive touch screen. There is a topic about it here on xda among the g4 catagories. Just a warning or heads up from my experience. Good luck.
