Thats a great deal, I'd buy it but I received windows 8 for free as part of my acm membership.

I would really edit that out since it constitutes fraud. It's not your fault that Microsoft doesn't check (I'm sure there are a ton of technical/legal hoops to jump through to get all of the vendors' customer info), but please don't leave that out in the open.

I think it is highly unlikely that you would get away with that. I am sure they have some mechanism to examine the information we give regarding the purchase. A money hungry company like Microsoft is unlikely to just give away the opportunity for people to rob them blind. Also, it is definitely not legal.

It's legit. Win8 pro is only @5 bucks. Many the sites say that.

Already confirmed as a hoax
They'd have needed about 2775 trucks to do this. Also Apple would have been allowed to simply turn them around and send them back on their way.
Still funny, I wish it was true.

My house was robbed, Nexus 7 and a bunch of electronics taken

I want to find out who did this, among the things stolen was a rooted Nexus 7 with Lookout. Any suggestions of how to find my stuff would be greatly appreciated.
I'm guessing you didn't have an antitheft app? You could try lookout plan b; installing it remotely. But that's assuming the thief hasn't tampered with the device.

Yeah...hate to say...but any thief with half a brain that steals a phone or tab would shut it off immediately, knowing they have GPS and might be a chance they're tracked.
Guess not all thieves are smart tho.

I doubt the police are gonna put you on their priority list and try to track your electronics with high tech methods. No content/house insurance???

Lookout has tracking features but it might be a premium feature. I really don't know.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk HD
I heard of a story of a thief in Salt Lake that stole someone's iPad. Suddenly, pictures started showing up in the original owner's iCloud because the perp had been taking pictures of himself with the iPad. A local police officer recognized the perp and they arrested him. In other words, not all criminals are smart. Do you have anything setup to automatically upload pictures taken with the tablet to any cloud service?
You can still install plan b to it. Of your account is still linked to it.

I don't think Its a premium feature, op go into the lookout website and try your luck, you may just get lucky but speed is of the essence. Good luck
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio Z715e using xda premium
Actually it's not a premium feature, and I think it works with GPS off too (I think WiFi does the trick here). Login to your account in your PC browser (hope they haven't taken that too!) and try to locate it. Hopefully the thief (or thieves) is (or are) dumber than we are thinking he (or she or they) is (or are).
Best of luck.
Oh and I can tell because I have Lookout installed on my N7 and I just looked through it right now.
I've been trying to track through lookout but.it hasn't.been turned on.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2
Did you try that feature before your tab got stolen? If not, there is a high possibility that's not going to work.
Yes it had the lookout app on it already.

Also the tablet has to remain on. Then Lookout turns on the GPS automatically.

I will be getting one soon in white when its available for SWAC purchase. Having an available upgrade is nearly killing me but I doubt I will have to wait much longer. I'm not sure what you guys are reading about another Nexus on Sprint but I wouldn't hold my breath.
I'm still thinking about it. I'll probably time it so that I'm eligible to trade it in for a Note 3 within the 14-day grace period just in case I don't like it.
Good to see a familiar name

I should get one soon hopefully. My broken screen EVO 3D finally gave up the other day, no phone ATM:crying:. Stopped by one of the local Sprint stores, they didn't have any in stock and would let me know when they'll be getting them in the store. Right now it seems they're only available online, not sure for how long though. Need to get my account balance payed down before i can upgrade though...:laugh:

Would you mind grabbing a system dump for me please? Connect phone to computer with usb debugging enabled and run the following command (open a command prompt in the directory where you have adb, tell me if you don't have it and I'll link you to a quick download for it)
Code:
adb pull /system system
Then wait for that to complete and zip up + upload the folder it makes and drop a link for me...
Thanks!

Were you able to get wallet up and going? If you did then the rest of us may be able to bring it over the vzw and att. If we are able to change lines in our build prop to make it think its a sprint then install and set up wallet then revert back like we did with the s3. Might be some hope as long as the secure element is hidden somewhere.

If you pre-order from Best Buy then it is instant, but through any other carrier/retailer you'll wait like 8 weeks.

6-8 weeks once its confirmed. Who knows how long it will take to confirm. I will assume it is probably 3-4 months to get the check.
Still odd why no specifics if this deal covers full price or not. The wording is vague and that is being kind.
The bb deal says trade in value may vary, so you could just get $10 for that $10 phone.
The Samsungish promotion is fishy.
sent using mobile data only. no broadband in Rural America as was promised by both Presidents Bush & Obama.
I called two local Best Buys and was told you simply get whatever the value of your trade in is. I'm trading in an HTC Evo 4G, I get $22.00 off of a Note4.
EDIT: But buying through Sprint, their website says Samsung will "match" your trade in value up to $200.00.
