Just recieved wrong Phones, no ET4G

On the phone with wirefly.com. Seems as though they've swapped shipping labels and sent me a two Nexus S's rather than my single ET4G. LoL, the saga continues. On the phone with them. Trying to figure out how I stick this to them. Hey Brian, how's my Galaxy S II? Kinda wishing you hadn't gone for the free Nexus S's for free with a 2 year agreement huh? What are these people thinking?

You gotta live under a rock to be on a hundred and thirty dollar a month family plan, sign up for 2 years and get not 1 but 2 free Nexus S's. If he is the one that ended up with my GSII hopefully that's his wake up call. I'm about to call him and tell him to tell wirefly to keep the nexus and send him GSII's lol. I got his number. I feel sorry for him.

I would hit them hard on shipping and on % taking off the price of my device. I would let them know how desperate I was for this phone and how upset the contents of this package made me. We'd be on the phone for about a hour talking that one out because now I have to wait for the device to be shipped again?
I would even slide in a BB complaint if they didn't feel like coming to an agreement with me. This is a pretty large mistake. One a company shouldn't make with a high end device during it's first week of demand.
Edit: I misunderstood. So they are having you take care of the problem? Is it local? And yea, I would try to have wirefly send them 2 GSII's. That would be one very confused family to find one phone in their box.

They're sending out my gsII expedited with a free bluetooth headset

The other family ordered two Nexus S's not GSII's, I have them. About to ship them back to wirefly. Instead of receiving two Nexus S's they received a single ET4G. I hope they open it up and fall in love with it and cancel their order and order two ET4G's instead. It's a shame their signing 2 year agreements with the previous model.

Got a one plus one invite, should I use it, or give it away?

Looking for quick feedback. This phone is nice, but I like the "flagship killer" as well. Just that I really don't feel like dropping any money right now, abd this phone is still pretty nice.
Thoughts? I only have 21 hours to redeem.

Dang, you are lucky. I've been trying to get one for a while. If you're looking for a new phone, I say go for it. If not, I'd love to take it off your hands. It'd be a shame to let it go to waste

By the way, if you are coming from a Note 3, it's a tough decision. Both are close in power, with the Oneplus having just a slight edge. However, the Note 3 has a bigger and nicer looking screen. Likewise, the camera on the Note 3 is said to be better than the oneplus.
If you like Cyanogenmod then definitely go with the oneplus one! Hope this helps make your decision easier.

If worse comes to worse, you can buy it, try it out, and if you don't like it, you can sell the phone. Life is full of tough decisions

I just got an invite from another user on this forum. Purchased and am now excitingly waiting! We can be waiting buddies

Looking for invite
I would love an invite for the phone if anyone has any they'd like to share. Thank you

you are really lucky man. However, they got a yellow screen issue and they said it's software problem.....

ohhh my got, i have been waiting for an invite to buy this phone. please if anyone can invite me. i will be more thankful.

Update: I dropped the money for the phone. Now I wait.

If you don't like the phone, it appears Swappa is a good place to sell them... they're going for a pretty sizeable markup.

Could someone please send me a invite at [email protected]. Really dying to have hands on this damn pretty thing. Thanks in advance.

I gave my invite away. I would use maybe have used it if it had Wifi Calling. It's a side-grade from the Note 3 overall at best even putting that aside.

Samsung Galaxy Note 7
Samsung plans to sell refurbished Galaxy Note 7 handsets, according to a new report.
After two dramatic recalls, termination of manufacturing, and a plea for customers to turn off all Note 7 handsets forever, it was safe to assume Samsung had killed off its latest flagship for good. But a report from The Investor, the Korea Herald’s business blog, suggests that Samsung isn’t quite done with its most fiery phone.
Reporters at the publication, which is based on Samsung’s South Korean home turf, believe that Samsung may begin selling refurbished Galaxy Note 7 handsets as soon as 2017. One industry source is quoted as saying: “Samsung has not made a final decision yet, but it will likely sell the refurbished Note 7 units next year.”
According to the report, Samsung will likely target emerging markets like India and Vietnam, where low-end phones are typically popular. The Note 7 is a seriously expensive handset, but it’s likely Samsung will drop the price significantly considering the phone’s reputation, and the fact that they’re refurbished models. This would be an excellent chance for Samsung to rid itself of spare Note 7 stock, and recoup some cash in the process.

samsung galaxy note 7
Samsung first recalled the Galaxy Note 7 on September 2 after an internal investigation uncovered a serious battery flaw that was causing some users’ handsets to explode. The phone maker then had to issue a second recall after it emerged that some replaced handsets were also exploding. The Galaxy Note 7 is now no longer available to purchase, with Samsung reportedly focusing all attention on next year’s Galaxy S8.
Samsung is expected to release its next flagship phone in February or March next year, with a Galaxy Note 8 model confirmed to be coming later in 2017.
Unfortunately, Samsung declined to comment on this article.

In a way that makes me happier as nothing id like more then to keep my N7

After they have safely deleted all the data from ex owners I suppose?

I hope this is true. Most likely they would be using a smaller battery and different battery design. I could live with that. I am still using my N7 - I would turn it in for a "refurb" N7 gladly.

Oh Ryland. Who and what are you. Gullible? A shill?
Really. Chill out. I for one would definitely buy a Refurbished Note 7 like yesterday. You really are pouring out so much emotional energy into all this. My question is, why?

Smaller battery? Most phones of similar caliber coming onto the market have MUCH larger batteries. Mate 9 Pro, for instance, is what, 5000mAh
Makes you wonder, doesn't it?

None of the other phones have a curved screen with the battery curved on the edges to fit snug up to the curves of the display. So I said smaller battery so give a little more room for Samsung to use a more conventional battery shape. Just a guess I am making. Maybe they found some other kind of reason that was causing the very rare instance of thermal overload. Who knows. If they are really going to be selling refurbed N7's, then that means that they most likely figured out the issue and are confident they have it fixed.

No, as I have the one I want now. And doubtful we ever see the above phone in the US anyway. I actually am not a big fan of the edge display, but I am a big fan of the basically bezeless display on the sides that the edge screen allows.

So, it has been said this is old info and it won't realy happen: http://www.androidcentral.com/selling-refurbished-galaxy-note-7s-2017-would-be-completely-mad

G5S plus..

Anyone else a little annoyed they're releasing a new version already with dual camera for almost the same price that the standard plus released with? I know it's still basically the same phone with a slightly larger screen and improved? Camera. But I'm definitely a little peeved

Yup it is a little annoying but Lenovo seem hell bent on having more models in the market than anyone else.

I am also a little annoyed by it. Planned obsoleteness at it's finest.

Nope. As with many things electronics if you wait a day, week, month, year, something better will come along. One can either choose to wait and wait for the newest best thing and never buy anything, or they can buy now and not worry about it. As with many things as new products are introduced existing products are reduced in price (or discontinued).
The rumored specs of the soon to be released new Moto phones have been circulating for a few months now. One could have waited to buy the new phone if they wanted. <shrugs>
My only concern with Moto introducing so many different models of phones is their support (firmware updates, bug fixes) for all phones will suffer. In typical Motorola fashion, the updates/fixes for the Moto G5 Plus are already lagging months behind.

This is not planned obsolescence. Releasing a successor to this device does not change a single thing about this devices performance or usability.

Yeah, the thing is, it still kinda is. They know people want the newest, best stuff. No reason that the G5 plus couldn't of had these little extra features they've added to the G5S. But this way, they get even more money out of people because they know they will buy it.

No, it isn't. The device still has the same specs. Just because something came out with the same price and slightly higher specs doesn't mean our phones have been downgraded. It doesn't change the performance of the phone. What they ARE doing, however, is taking advantage of people's lack of self control and tech addictions. They can come out with a SD835, 6GB RAM model tomorrow for $50 less than what I paid for my G5 plus and I wouldn't care the slightest bit. I love my devices and I love technology, but if you always have to have the absolute best technology or absolute best deal at all points in time, you will never be happy and will constantly complain when technology moves forwards and you failed to predict the next item being released.

Not really, we all knew what we got when we bought this phone. Its not an powerhouse, it doesn't have the best camera, its just a good decent phone. If they slapped the Lenovo tag on it it wouldn't be such a big deal.
It's still a good phone that you can easily use for 2 years. Plus the specs are nearly the same so I am guessing the software is going to be pretty close together too. If they just keep rolling out updates I really don't see the problem.

If it was the same spec it would be called the Moto G5 Plus, clearly there are differences to make it yet another model.

So then, bigger screen, better camera(s) full metal body and the same price as what the G5 Plus was.
We've been shafted lads and lasses.

6 months is a very long time in the tech world. Most flagship device at least comes down one third in price in 6 months. In comparison I have to say that g5 retained some good value.
Moreover I am not seeing it as a big update either.
Sent from my Motorola Moto G (5) Plus using XDA Labs

No not really... This phone works fine and it'll continue working fine even when that new model comes out.

In my opinion it's not a replacement of the g5 plus but it's a different phone in the same lineup. For example I haven't considered the g5 plus because of the screen that is too small for me, but I'm definitely considering to buy this one.
I'm just waiting to see how the g5s plus performs in real life and how much community support it will have.

Sorry to resuscitate such an old thread but I was just wondering how hard it would be to port a ROM over for the g5s+ or if there might be Dev support for it. The specs look EXACTLY the same except for the better camera and bigger display. If there will be Dev support I might be interested in buying one as they're on sale for the holidays.

Why do people say the S plus is a better camera?
Just because it has two doesn't make it better.

Right! From all reports I've seen, the G5S+ camera does not perform well. However, I understand the camera 2 api is enabled on that device, so I'm very annoyed that it's not on the G5+. But in hardware terms, the G5S+ is a big yawn, for me.
As far as I'm concerned dual cameras are nothing but a gimmick, in most cases. There are a few implementations that work well, but most are hit or miss. Coupled with a screen that's larger than I want, it all adds up to an unappealing package. Obviously, others' mileage varies.

I love my one plus 5t lava red and my one plus 6 red but over 3 years straight I have been deeply taken back by Huawei honors innovation, creativity and their totally and vastly different approach to the mobile industry just as much as the totally different but brilliance of EMUI. I remember the very first day I got my first taste of Huawei honors EMUI and this is coming from a apple user die hard for many years until about a year I spent a year and half purposely with Android exclusively as I write professionally and I also write under the profile name [email protected]@MobileTechNow free Lance. Even won a couple contests and awards early last year for articles about Huawei EMUI and recognized nationally for the content I published. Their updates are very slow but if you notice only a secret few mobile companies send out updates soon after Google does for the pixel and a lot of the slow or seemingly lack of updates in a timely manner has as much to do with Google as the company whom are sending them out. It's either Google's way or the highway basically. Take a deeper look into it and you will see what I speak of. Google much like apple wants to dictate their own profit margins and for the most part both companies do so. Huawei honor relates to what I just said because they are and will be eventually just a matter of time now and I'm talking 5 months as I mean 3 plus years up to 5 Max but Huawei will not be in the Android network platform or however you'd like to call it as they will become third own entity and already well over half way there. All these major tech tubers who totally bash EMUI whom think they truly know more than all of us miss the entire target board they shoot at. EMUI is not Android nor was ever created with intent to be Android or anything like it. It's the only Android software that has a so called heavy huge skin say like Samsung does but the difference is Samsung is rains atop of the lag mountain not one time in over the three years straight I've interacted with EMUI has their software which compared to Samsung's software skin is 4 times heavier yet they are able to give the user a just as smooth and seamless OS as apple has. Long to short within the next few years the entire mobile industry will be impacted with change when Huawei reaches what their plan has been and what they already are in the process of doing and building to be prepared fully to bring their vision to life or fruition. Much more I could write but I'm pressed for time. I'll digress but possibly elaborate in detail another time
