After many problems with my services with Verizon, they sent me an iPhone 4 to test as a replacement and honestly I fell in love with it. Fortunetly its giving me the opportunity to sell my iPod touch to have money for insurance bills...I really hope In December to be back on the droid community, hopefully Just wanted to give a thanks to everyone (who originally showed me the ways of the search bar) and a serious thanks to all the devs. You guys kept this phone alive. Sometimes looking back at the thunderbolt and charge, they look like ghosttowns in the threads, but not our threads. Sadly too ICS is just around the corner, but thankfully Justin's rom gave me a little taste at what to fully expect come December. Without any of you guys, I wouldn't have learned all I have. Again serious thanks to everyone on this forum...you guys are great. Peace....

Well I was having extremely slow data speeds, literally 50 kB/s down was my average and I placed about 5 remedy tickets (sorta like them sending an email to an engineer to look at the cell site and look for problems) and eventually they replaced the inc2 3 times and they were convicted it was my device, so I told them they were full of shxt and they refunded me for month of Internet (saved me 30 bucks) and eventually this woman told me they were tired of me calling do they were gunna send me an alternative replacement, my choices were a droid charge or lg stratosphere and I said well I might as well try the 4G on the charge and ten minutes later she comes back and says they're out of those too, so she offered me the iPhone 4 or a droid x2. I took the iPhone since its a completely different hardware and software to try out, and for fxcks sake my Internet speeds didn't change, and I currently pull .3 Mb/s on a decent day, so. I called back and was like look, clearly it isn't the device, they went ahead and reset my line which took 20 minutes an finally someone told me I'm in such a populated area and there's only 1 tower that covers such an extreme area that I'll never had decent speeds
I'm jumping to the S5 or HTC One 2, considering Samsung and T-Mobile phones are always running a deal, If I were to jump on release day, I'd pay a down payment. Anyone who has previously jumped to a high end phone can tell me what they paid for the down payment? Or what kind of price to expect on the S5 with jump? Or, is it best to wait till they have a special price on the S5? Like, the note 3 was offered at no DP around December and November.

So all you two had to do was pay taxes, and that's it? Was there a reason you two had no down, or is no down standard for a jump user?

I believe that is based on credit worthiness, unless you have not been with T-Mobile for a certain amount of time. I got my S4 in August and they told me it would be $150 down, unless I have held an account with T-Mobile for some amount of time (A year? I forget), in which case it would be $0 down.
I just Jumped to my N3 a few weeks ago and it was $0 down...which makes little sense, but, whatever.
I have great (not perfect, but up there) credit...and I've got the feeling that their bar isn't terribly high.
Then again, depending on the associate you deal with you never know how things will go down. My sister just told me how her last bill was for over $1000 because after Jumping the associate didn't credit back the original EIP balance on top of charging the entirety of her new phone balance directly to her account. I suggested going to the police as that seems like some intentionally shady business.
On the other hand my last 2 bills have not included an EIP payment at all and my device is showing $0 balance and I'm wondering if the associate perhaps screwed up completely and did the opposite of what happened to my sister. (The transaction took almost 3 hours somehow...I'm not sure he was entirely literate, even though he was a really nice guy).
I'm sure people with so-so credit walk in with no previous T-Mobile account and walk out with a $0 down N3 all the time...give it a shot. Hell, try different stores and see what you come up with.
It is 100% based on your credit. They take your Social and run it and depending on how good your credit is means if you have to put anything down or not.
Yeah it depends on your credit. I have **** credit. There was a 0 down for good credit, 200 down for ok credit, and then there was me.... 360 down. You would think they would give me a break since I've been with them for 3 years and have paid off 3 phones early.

They will only run it when you open your account unless you request it to be run again.
For JUMP to be efficient you need to upgrade on the 0 down deals if your credit allows. I think 0 down is a staple now so when the GS5 comes I'd expect it to be 0 down as well

Yeah I hear ya for sure..... I rooted my stepsons S4 today and I was like "so this is a nifty little toy" lol! For me it's just the screen and S-pen..... I never put it away and don't want to live without it. The Note series has me really spoiled. The 5 has some cool stuff going on but the note 4 is gonna be rediculous I'm sure and have the same + features. If you do jump to the S5 please let us know your impressions and likes/dislikes.
Yea, I already know what to expect. A mediocre phone with nifty features that mainly serve as bragging tools lol. But agreed, the Note 4 is mind boggling. I'm sure we're all expecting huge things. Since the note series is the only series that actually had huge changes every year, unlike galaxy and iPhones

If you root you might be screwed with the introduction of Knox 2.0. You might not want to make the jump till it cleared by a dev clearing Knox.

Ugh I hate jump, it's a gimmick really. You have to give tmobile your damn near paid off phone for a new phone just to do the same thing over and over again. I understand this sounds good to some people but if you ask me it's never really your phone even though your making all these steep payments monthly. I don't think I'll be able to sell my note 3 for a long time, it's the best phone I've ever used since 2009 and I gave the g1 a try (never cared for cell phones til than). But even if I did sell it.. I know I could get back more cash from a 3rd party than I could from t mobile.

For those of us grandfathered into the old JUMP it's an awesome deal. Here's how:
My wife has an HTC One. 0 down. $25 per month. After the 6 months she had paid $150 on it. The EIP when we traded it in was 430 IIRC. She jumped to a Note for $50 (tax). T-MOBILE paid off the rest of the old phone. The HTC One in perfect condition isn't going for anywhere near the 430 she owed on it.
The key is that if you pay 0 down AND don't paid a dime more then your payments you will make out in the end. ONLY if your on the old JUMP plan, the new one is a little rougher.

Not quite, every phone is bound to have a root eventually. We have an unlocked bootloader, so it would be much easier. T-Mobile doesn't care about Knox, that's a Samsung thing. And If Knox 1 hasn't been able to be reset yet, i doubt version 2 will be exploited.

I have the new jump plan, I just switched to tmobile around December. I had at&t before, so regardless, i'm use to paying $200 for a new phone. And considering how many people have got their note 3 with 0 down, I might have a chance at getting the S5 0 down. If not, paying around $150 for a new phone isn't at all bad when it retails for $700

TWEAKED 2.0 ELEMENT V3.0 NOTE 3
I already have a Note 3 but would love to try a Gear VR. Finally found an okay price for a Note 4 on craigslist today and was excited to give it a go. I'm on tmobile but my verizon Note 3 functions just fine so I thought I'd "upgrade."
So far ... I kind of hate it.
The fact that this phone can't be rooted (because of Verizon?) wouldn't be quite so depressing if it weren't for the hideous pastel colors staring me in the face every time I pull down the tool bar or open a menu ... Yes I've installed a custom launcher but it doesn't change the 80's era color scheme ... This is 2015. I can't choose the background color on my own damn phone? Really?
I had my Note 3 setup the way I wanted it to look with a rom that gave me a lot of options, and going from having control over aesthetics to having basically no control over them is a shock. Like moving from a house you own and can paint any color you want to an awful pastel apartment that you can't paint because the landlord won't let you.
The lockscreen. I liked the option on my Note 3 to pick the effect when unlocking my phone. The rippling water effect was my favorite. Now I have ... no such option? The choice to change it seems to be grayed out?
The heat. Running low graphic Cardboard apps and the back of this phone seems to be getting awfully warm awfully fast. Haven't tried anything really intensive yet but I'm already worried about heat.
Speed. Not notably faster (no pun intended) than my customized Note 3. Apps that were slow on the 3 ... are still slow on this phone. Menus seem to open at about the same speed or possibly even slower.
Pixel density. I thought having a higher resolution screen would mean less visible picture structure ... Not really seeing it. I can look at my two phones side by side and unless I zoom in, there is not that much visible difference in image quality, except ...
The one good thing:
The camera. Took a couple of photos and am really impressed by the amount of detail that shows up. Definitely a big leap over the camera in my Note 3 ...
But ... I'm thinking maybe I should sell this to someone else on craigslist and go back to my Note 3.
Anyone else have a similar reaction? Am I missing something here?
Honestly only you can answer that question. In regards to root, only DE have it as far as I know for any carrier. If you HAVE to have root, then it might have been a mistake.

Actually the Note 4 on Sprint and T-Mobile are both rootable. Verizon and AT&T are the a**holes here. Actually @Haints you just made the same mistake most other people did. You didn't do the research before you spent your money. Because I've been practically living in this forum for 4 years I've seen the day when Verizon would lock a phone down to where nobody would be able to root it coming. I bought a Note 4 Developer Edition.
What a terrible corporate policy. WHY do they do that? Well, I've learned my lesson. I will never buy a Verizon phone again. ( Scratch that. Sounds like you never really "own" a Verizon phone to begin with, since they lock it down to keep the OS the way they want it. I will never ... rent a Verizon phone again?)
I did figure out how to change the lock option, and I do like the phone, apart from the choices I'm locked out of ... but having freely owned a phone before, I can't forget what that feels like. So f*ck Verizon.
And yes, Stuey, I did err by not doing my research here. The Verizon Note popped up on craigslist at a good price and I jumped at it. My mistake.
Thanks to you both for responding!

You're not the only one. It's heartbreaking to see this happen to so many people. The Verizon Note 4 forums are depressing. Pretty much all of us plan to leave Verizon someday. The only reason I'm still with them is T-Mo and Sprint suck so bad around here. I'm just hoping for them to improve some.
The reason they do it is because locking them makes them more secure. All of the big corporate and government accounts like them that way. Hackers are becoming more of a problem. Verizon makes a lot of extra money because they are more secure than the others. We'll probably all lose our rootable phones soon.

I've already given up.
I've been stuck with the Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 4 ever since it launched last year...I bought it right as it came out, expecting that it would get root at some point like previous phones.
Every single day I've visited these forums, patiently waiting for a permanent root. I have so much pent-up frustration over waiting that I recently splurged on a 128 GB Frost Huawei Nexus 6P and permanently canceled my Verizon contract. I gave up.
I've been a loyal Verizon customer since 2007 with previous phones rooted and I just couldn't stand it anymore. I'm sick of being treated like a child not being able to do what I want with a phone that I purchased with MY money.
I hope they realize that they're going to be losing loyal customers like me at a rapid pace over digging their heels on this ridiculous policy.
I preordered the retail version at upgrade price ($300) and sold it a month later for $590 after giving up on waiting for root. Then paid an extra $110 for the developer edition. So I paid for a developer edition for $410 instead of $700. I wish I thought about this once I got the phone to sell it for more but overall I still came out on top. The DE Note 4 is the best phone out right now on Verizon. Nothing compares, yet. And I still have unlimited data but I hear they are changing the price to $50 a month for people who are grandfathered in D:

Unfortunately, VZW doesn't care. People who root their devices make up a small percentage of their customers. VZW is more concerned about promoting safety and security.
I was an iPhone user up to the release of iPhone 6. Decided to get Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (verizon) because of easy access to change battery. (As each new iPhone model made seems to make it more difficult.) I've had the Note for over a year. I keep telling myself that I'll get used to it. I haven't yet. I hate it! I fight with it every time I want to do a simple task. On top of how confusing it is to use compared to iPhone. Battery drains fast. Screen turns on randomly. And now any app I try to install from google play AND amazon app, it just hangs saying, "installing.........."-google play. And "install pending........"-amazon. It's been like that for 48 hours now. WTH? I have 10 gigs free'd up. I restarted app, restarted phone tried searching Forums. YES, I hate this phone. And if Samsung drops support on this phone, I'm going to drop my support for Samsung products.
Yeah you screwed up just like the rest of us. I came from ATT, who are assholes by the way, and am pretty much gonna dump Verizon when my contract is up. I will buy my own phones from now on, no more carrier branded, locked out , **** phones like this one. The Note 4, when locked down, is actually a turd. its slow, it crashes and pretty much just all around sucks. Root would make this a great phone, but there will never be root until long after this phone is ancient and useless.
They say Android 6 will fix the issues that Android 5 caused. The Note 4 with Android 4.4 ran good. The latest word is Android 6 will come in February.

In lieu of this HORROR to my beloved Note 7, to which i have enjoyed a replacement since around 9/12 with not a single blip nor issue... I do NOT want to send back this device, but under the current circumstances and warnings by the CDSC, we have no choice. So Samsung, you want to keep me from going off to Schmapple or HTC, Motorola, Sony.. Here is what you do...
You inform the carriers to give us replacement devices, lets say the S7E or what have you. Then, Upon release of a Fixed, New, and Tested NOTE 8.. You have the carriers bypass all the bullcrap they are going to feed us about upgrading, and let any known and proven Note 7 UPGRADE TO IT FOR FREE.
That is customer service, and showing how to take care of the Loyal Samsung consumer. Most of us here do not want to leave your brand, and still put faith in the company, even in the hardest times with the Note 7. Its a fantastic device, best phone i have ever seen or had IMO hands down. I personally used a Note 3 for 4 YEARS, bypassing the 4 and 5, to wait on this device. Im not giving up so easily, but in all good faith your in severe crisis mode now. Treat the consumer right. You can't live without us, and some of us have chosen to stand by your product.

I agree this is their best course of action. I've been an LG owner for 4 phones in a row (Spectrum, G2, G3, and V10) and decided to try the Note 7 because the V20 was taking too long to release. Now I really like the Note 7 and don't want to return it. I'm actually going to hang on to it as long as possible because I want more news and information as to what is going to happen. There isn't anything out that even comes close to being able to replace the Note 7. I use the S-Pen constantly and it's the reason I wanted to try a Note 7 to begin with. I never use my finger on this phone and I love always having a fingerprint free screen.
Samsung needs to make this right though if they want to salvage some of what they've lost because of it.
I hope they do something like that. I would be shocked if it actually happened. I have owned many Samsung phones. Fascinate, Droid Charge, Galaxy Nexus, Galaxy S3, Note 2, Note 3, Note 4, Note 5 and the Note 7.
I am pretty much done. I preordered a Pixel XL from Google. I will probably pick up a Moto G4 for the month and keep it as a spare.

They lost like...$17 Billion yesterday. It's just getting started. I'm not expecting much, they're a huge diversified company that doesn't even try that hard to maintain phones from a year ago. This was a brilliant phone (I thought) but I doubt I'll buy another Samsung after this nightmare. I'd love to think they'd make some dramatic turn toward the customer and become reborn as a something better, like an Android version of what Apple has going, but no one seems to know how to do that in the Android space.
Your dreaming. Verizon would not honor the $25 promised gift. I love the replacement note 7 and I'm keeping it.

Well, I guess i'm one of the only people who owns two of the original Note 7's . I have had no issues with my phone except for the darn warning that pop's up when i charge it. My reason for still having these two devices in my possession is that Verizon never got around to sending replacements to their retailers and wouldn't except all returns to the corporate store. So here we sit with original Note 7 devices.
I have owned every note except for the original one which was only offered by ATT, not i'm being offered a galaxy S-7, hell the S series is which i ended with a note, can't handle it, i need the pen, i need the functionality, i need the freedom which is why i came on to see if i can find a root for my device. If i find a root and get rid of the recall message i will not be trading in my phone, if the message appears I might consider it, but i still i won't especially since my only choice if i want to trade in my phone is a 32 GB note 5, hell i traded in 64 GB to get this device.
What's a Note user to do until the next release. ........
Here's my theory. I had the original, had no issues. Exchanged it. I've taken this thing in the sauna at the y 3 times and it still hasn't done anything. Hell, I charged it on the arm of the couch last night and monitored the temp just to see, and it actually cooked down from 91 to 77. What exactly is causing the issues to begin with is my question?
Well they lost me. I have been an iPhone user since the iPhone 4 and recently just got the Note 7 because I am sick of Apple too, but got my new Note 7 about a week ago and here I am sending it back. I enjoyed my Note 7 over the iPhone but after this cluster f*** I am going to the iPhone 7. I am so disappointed in this whole thing though. I had a VR headset coming and everything.
I loved my 2 Note 7s and never had any issues with either of them. I'm back on my note 4 for now. I'm contacting my carrier to see if they'll waive the year's wait for the Jump program so I can get another Note when it launches. I believe it'll be up to the carrier, not Samsung.
RIP Note 7.

Cool story bro
I have an original note 7 and yeah that notice that pops up when you charge your phone is annoying but I'm not giving this phone up. I've even dropped it once when it was out of its case and the screen cracked a bit. Came from a note 4 and this is hands down the best and most comfortable smart phone out right now, or it was at least. Nothing else out there really peaks my interest too much.

Verizon didn't want to do my exchange because the line that I had with the N7 is no longer active
My replacement came in sooner than expected.. I placed my order 2 days ago and my iPhone 7 plus just arrived Matte black 256 GB
I've never been so distraught over a material thing than this note 7 but it has to be done.. my friend from verizon said that those people persistent on keeping will not get any updates and apps will not update on the note 7 .. expect this in the next month.. those saying samsung/carriers cannot send OTA updates to brick your phone is FALSE.. they can do whatever the hell they want .. they need to get rid of the phone from your hands so they will do whatever it takes . bricking your phone and making it useless is a big way of accomplishing that goal.
Reason i got an iPhone 7 plus is because people will always want an iphone its much easier to resell.. therefore when the note 8 or whatever the next name they put out I'm hoping to get some percentage off . Im hoping samsung rewards us note 7 buyers for putting up with this BS.. time and money is valuable to us customers they should know that unless they really do not care.. those switching to an s7 s7edge why ? That's a big downgrade when they s8 is months away from release.. they got you suckered
totally agree with you, no point in keeping a discontinued phone that firms are dropping support for at a massive rate, I'm stuck with an old Galaxy S3 for a week, but with the position the note is in it may as well be the S3 as it will have as much support the difference being I can probably get more custom software for the S3. just need to wait for my Pixel XL coming, the iPhones have got a lot better, but I just can't get on with iOS.
Coming from using an android for the past 6 years this new apple iOS is something to get use to.. I don't remember it being this difficult when I had the first couple iPhones
screw Samsung and their products, but damn man, 6 years of Android and your moving on to iphoos?
Apart from overall ease of use and belonging to the cool bananas group... what else is the iPhone better at compared to Android? or do you just use your phone to make calls and lease out music?
maybe I can sway you back to the dark side

Oh this iPhone sucks plain and simple but with what's out on the market its the best.. plus the resale value is magnificent...
I also have a masterplan il be posting about
haha fair enough
Really missing my note 7 .. it sucks I still have it and can't use it regularly but just a tablet...
Can they just take thing away and start the healing process
Why can't you use it normally?
Ane by the way, you yourself can make the cut.
