What do you guys think about this deal (Asap) - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

OK I was at work and some guy came up to me asking me how much I would sell him my galaxy s5 for and I said $550 and he said $500 and I'll take it now, he did give me a day to think... Also have new his phone number (he's a regular customer so he's not a stranger) Mind you here's the thing I have t-mobile, i'm on jump so I still owe 636 so far... Is it worth it.. I honestly want to get either a nexus or an htc one m8... What do you guys suggest?
Thanks in advance!!!

No aosp Roms for this phone... And no one has any idea when....

It'll be your luck, you'll trade and a AOSP ROM will release the next day. I would only make the sell if I had enough to buy my next phone outright and with at least 50 to pay towards paying off the s5. Good luck.

The funny thing is I was thinking the same thing sell my phone and i bet following week "google ROM 4.4.3"
Then... **face palm** lol I am thinking about the Lg g3 as well but that comes out in ending of june/beginning of July.. So idk...

I don`t think 500$ are enough for this phone. I personally looks to sell mine for around 550$ and 10% off are really a big deal. I`m happy with the S5 however I do think that it`s not a big improvement over the S4 which is currently on sale so yes if you could agree on 525$ or something close to the 550$ I would sell it.

I think I could definitely get $550 I'll throw in two cases, one holster and one spigen slim fit case ? what do you guys think? Lg phone won't come out till end of June, idk what I'll use... Lol
Sent from my SM-G900T using Tapatalk

I personally think that this is good deal but what you will use I don`t know it actually depends on how cutting edge you want to go. I don`t fallow the news about the LG phones not a huge fen and I actually like the Samsung phones. Probably if sold my S5 will go for S4 or Nexus 5. I currently have a pending offer to change my S5 for iPhone 5s don`t know if it`s a good deal ?

Wow just called him, told him bout the cases included for $550and said he doesn't want any cases he just wanted the phone for $500.00 and I was like**sighs** OK... He's gonna take it to Ecuador... He's probably gonna flip it for more money over there...

Samsung devices usually are the first to get dev support. I wouldn't sell it for $550 let alone $500. You have jump right? Use it and upgrade to the G3 when it comes out.

I'm sorry that makes no sense what's so ever.... If I use jump, I'll have to have paid half the phone ($336) hand in my Galaxy S5, Get the Lg G3 let's say for arguments sake it retails at $600.00 so that's
$336.00 (other half I owe for the S5)
$600.00 (new balance for Lg G3)
That's $936 in total... That's obviously not smart buddy...
Vs
Selling this phone getting
$500 (Sold S5 Money)
- $600 (LG G3 Phone)
-----------
$100 (the difference)
$670 (S5 balance)
----------
In total only spent $770 vs $936
Bro jump is a scam the T-Mobile rep broke it down for me

Ah. You have the new jump. I have the old one so I pay nothing when I upgrade
Before this horrible scam that they call "JUMP 2", there was actually good plan that let you wipe out the entire balance of the phone and pay nothing at all when you upgrade up to 2 times a year.

If the GS3 has a ceramic casing, it is not gonna have a removable battery.

But i hate how Samsung phones spec differ in America compared to abroad, this means less dev support. Every one s ( considering it or S3 ) will be the same all over the world, just like the sensation and other HTC phones. Also, we might end up getting the S3 around Christmas with the way US carriers lag.
It will drop around the same time as the iPhone 5

Buying an international version solves that problem. I know you have to pay full prize but you can use your upgrade and sell it here so that you can make up some of the total cost. Also there is no AT&T branding on international version which is awesome. I hate that AT&T logo on nice looking phones

Agreed we don't know how it will look and I'm guessing it will not have a removable battery as well if rumors of ceramic casing are true.
I read somewhere that the Next Galaxy will have a simultaneous world release date (US carriers included); it has something to do with the way the GS2 sold.
That would prolly keep them from making the same mistake like they did making the US G-Nex a Verizon exclusive. Back to the main topic, I will be preordering the One X and if I dont like it I could always sell it and wait for GS3.

Why is it funny? it is always cheaper through a retailer then directly. You can get it for 1 penny on amazon. The only downside ordering it through a 3rd party is if you cancel after 30 days but before 180 days you pay 200$+ extra to cancel.

a no go for the following reason:

2) non-removable battery is only 1785 mAh
3) only 1GB RAM
So, unless these specs are wrong.... not worth it, IMO

#1 Not true, it has been confirmed that the Photon Q 4GLTE will be Motorola's first unlockable bootloader.

That said, I still won't buy it, most likely.
Sprint posted a deal on the Motorola Photon Q. If you pre-order and add a line you get a $100 amex gift card so may be worth it if your on a family plan.

Thanks, that was always a concern when it came to Motorola, at least IMO
Still, considering you can get an Epic for $100 off contract and run CM10 on it, and a SGS3 for $150 via Amazon/Best Buy, I am kinda unwilling to risk jumping on board another phone with slim development prospects, until I hear otherwise. Perhaps if CM accepts the device...

i would have been willing to put up with Motorola shenanigans if the thing was 720p, but it's only QHD
looks like i'll have to go with a NOKB phone.

Doesn't it have a locked GSM slot? I remember hearing something about Verizon version being hacked to use GSM in europe. I doubt sprint version is any different, but your gonna have to research it.

This isn't true. LG has a keyboard phone in the pipeline called the Cayenne.
The Photon is a no-go for me due to embedded battery. As it is I need to use an extended battery with the Epic and always carry a spare for backup.
When batteries were always replaceable I considered physical keyboard my deal breaker. Now replaceable battery is my deal breaker. I'd like a keyboard too, but if I *HAD* to choose between keyboard and replaceable battery I'd go with the replaceable battery. Keyboard does me no good if the phone is dead...

Ok guys I have been having this debate in my head for about a week to get the nexus 4. Now they announced a GE S4 and im all messed up lol. I really have no experiebce with pure android and am really interested in getting into the dev community. Do I shell out around 700 (taxes and shipping) for the s4 or go for the nexus 4?

I am currently a Nexus 4 owner. I just ordered a 16GB AT&T Galaxy S4 for $175 which I should get sometime next week. As soon as I get it I plan to sell it for $550-$600. I will then use this money to justify buying the Galaxy S4 Google Edition. I will then also sell my Nexus 4 for $250 or so.
I love the Nexus 4 but there is no question that the Galaxy S4 GE is better. I love the beautiful screen, the high def camera, the big screen, the feel in your hand, and I even like having a physical home button. That being said I don't think I would pay $650 for the phone straight out but by using my upgrade and selling it I can justify spending that much money.
If you do decide to get the Nexus 4 I am selling mine which I have only had for a few months. It's in brand new condition and I have the original box and all. Let me know if you are interested...

Yes, my upgrade was not until September but I called AT&T retention center and was asking them how much it would be to cancel my line and they offered to upgrade me early to the GS4 for $175.
What's the difference between an at&t gs4 and the GE if you just flash a custom ROM on the at&t one?

Maybe nothing but I am not taking that chance. There is no confirmation that the AT&T phone and the Google Edition phone will have the same hardware. It seems more likely that the GE phone will be like the TMobile AT&T phone which is slightly different. I am sure there will probably be ports to the Google Edition but I want a phone that was made to run stock android and phone that is supported directly by Google with the bootloader already unlocked.

Yes, I was very pleased. You just have to know how to get to the right people when dealing with customer service. =)

I will be purchasing the S4 next week! How do ya'll like it?

I will be selling my S3 + accessories (case, 4 screen protectors and Hyperion 4200mAh extended battery) on eBay and I plan to get like around $300 for all of it. I already have $350 saved up and on the Sprint site (and amazon.com as well) it is listed for $599 so I am good to go once my device sells on eBay!
So... I was just wondering how ya'll like it (especially those who came from the S3)?! How are the pics, do you use all of the TouchWiz features, how does it run, etc.?! What are your favorite mods/themes/ROM/etc. so far for your GS4? I see development is a bit slow, but that is expected since it's only been out for a little over a month. Thanks in advance for all responses/help! Feel free to cover anything else you feel is necessary! :good:

Next Friday or Saturday!
Anyone else?!
I'm coming from the Evo 4g to the S4 (so take it as it is). I am loving this phone. Currently running Kuban.
I'he owned my S4 since day 1 on April 26th and I'm loving this phone.
It's the perfect size for me with its 5'' HD screen, decent battery life, fast everything, its thinness, and the support of the XDA community.
I'm currently on the latest ktoonsez kernel, Crossbreeder mod with frandom module, and the Xposed Framework + Nottach & Tweakbox module and it's smooth, fast, and reliable. Looking very forward to the MEA update.
Thanks for the responses so far guys... Keep em coming!!

There's really not much significantly changed in the 4 vs 3. Not a worthwhile purchase IMO. If you've got money that's burning a hole in your pocket then go ahead and get it.

Well it's only gonna cost me around $300 out of pocket... plan on selling my S3 + accessories for around $300-$350. Sprint has the S4 on their website for $600 (plus taxes it'll probably be around $650).

They said $262 (so precise, I know lol) MAX if it was in excellent condition. I feel like I can get $300-$350 (phone, 4 screen protectors, case with kickstand and Hyperion extended battery) if I find the right buyer.
Ya. What I did was took the $262.50 for the phone and sold my other accessories separate.

[Q] G2 still a good choice?

I have a Verizon upgrade in one month. The G2 is currently $50 on-contract and seems to blow the pants off everything except the Note 3. But, I'm still not 100% convinced. How does the future of the G2 look? I've seen rumors of the G3, and the G Pro 2 will be released in the coming months. Do these pose any threat to the G2? Anything else I should consider from Verizon's stable?

Absolutely! I have owned a lot of phones and this is a steal for $50. Great battery, fast, killer camera...... You will not be disappointed. Perfect size also.

Silly question. Its the best android phone out there. Period.

I have a Verizon upgrade in one month. The G2 is currently $50 on-contract and seems to blow the pants off everything except the Note 3. But, I'm still not 100% convinced.

I agree this device is a steal for $50 but with your upgrade still being a month out I would hold off for an upgraded version since most likely you will be keeping the device for 2 years. Or buy the g2 now and sell on swappa when g3 comes out and upgrade. That's how I like to keep up on the latest devices=). Just a thought

I'd have to see the price of the G3 and if it includes anything much better than the G2. It's likely going to be the Snapdragon 800 again, maybe with 3 or 4GB of RAM rather than 2. To me that doesn't seem worth a $200+ premium.

The g3 os supposed to have a res. Of 2560x1920 or something like that, snapdragon 830, 16mp cam,3gb ram,they might be stuffing their lg odin in there instead of snapdragon,but,we'll see,
The g2 is a good phone,but, in honesty id wait for the g3.
If you are impatient get the g2. Its really good. Only prob i have with lg is that they are behind on firmwares.
Other than that no complaints on the g2
Considering the g2 hasn't been out that long the next phones out for LG are the flex and the G pro 2. These are phablets and a bit of a different animal. Usually manufacturers like to have a spring release and a fall release. I would think g3 wouldn't be out till this fall since the phablets are being released for spring. Samsung does this with the galaxies and the notes. Galaxies are spring, notes in the fall.
On that note I absolutely adore the g2! It is the best possible combination of size, weight, battery and specs. It will be extremely relevant for two years as it is running that snapdragon 800. Fifty bucks is a no brainer to me.

Yes, seem all devices in mwc still Snap 800 so g2 is great choice, have a good aosp support too

G2 is great, but wait for monday to see what is revealed at MWC. You will regret buying a G2 if you like another device more.

I love mine but im trying to swap mine with someone for a galaxy s4 verizon as i cant use my lg g2 on the samsung sales floor in best buy lol
Well I had landed on the G2 after my many phone journeys that I always do. I got the iPhone 5S on launch day, after about 3 weeks i traded it for the Note 3. For my own personal reasons I decide to go back to the iPhone 5S and then iPhone gave me reasons as why I always go back to android and I decide to try the G2 out.
My experiences so far and I have only have the phone for about 24hrs is this phone is a beast. Haven't really experienced any lag whatsoever. Installed SwiftKey and Nova launcher and this phone is absolutely flawless. This may be the only android phone where I didn't want to root immediately. I thought to myself when I was getting it that at this point is was an older device but there is nothing old feeling about this phone. Glad I made the choice and look forward to browsing the forums and finding some more out about the phone. I also enjoy the LG skin 100x better than sorry TouchWiz!

AMOLED drains much more battery during web surfing than an LCD due to white background, if you are a heavy user whose screen
is on a lot you will get screen burn by the time your 2yr contract is out. My Samsung (AMOLED) Vibrant got it within a year. Also G2 has a 13Mpix OIS camera. Galaxy doesn't have OIS only digital stabilization still a good camera though no doubt. Battery life on G2 is much better as well.
