TRADE: At&t S3 for Nexus 4

Just like the title says, I'm looking for someone looking to trade a almost-two-month-old white At&t SGS3 for a NIB 16gb Nexus 4.
I realize that the N4 isn't out yet, but I wanted to get this out there already.
Serious offers only please.
Condition: Very good. I've had a screen protector on it since the day I bought it. The worse it gets is light scratching on the battery cover. (I'll try to post pictures later)
Included:
- White At&t Galaxy S3
- Micro USB cable
- Removable battery
- Original Box
- White/black UAG case
- 1 Screen protector (another one already installed)
My Very Important Caveat:
You (the buyer) send me the N4 first. Upon reception I will send the S3. (I've been screwed out of a device before).
(Order one on the Google Site and send it to me perhaps?)

So how exactly is this a member found deal?
Sounds to me like this thread makes more sense in the "Wanting to sell" forum.

I'm sorry, apparently I did not pay too much attention to where I was posting (I was on the road) Where is that subforum? I can't seem to find it.

I am pretty sure you don't meet the requirements. I think it is one year in forum.

yeah you wont have access to wanting to sell

Okay thank you. I've been on XDA for ~2 years but a different account. I'll try to get on my old account. Thank you for your help! Mod. Please close the thread.

Good place to sell nexus 4?

I am looking to sell my nexus 4. I have unlocked the boot loader and installed cyanogenmod. Is there a way to put everything back to factory (boot loader and all) before I sell it? I bet people want to do it all.them selves. That's the fun part! Lol. Also what sort of price should go with a 16 gig with googles bumper? Thanks a lot for any info!

There is a thread stickied to the top of the general section with instructions for returning to stock. Be sure to give the buyer a receipt with your name and signature on it so that they can get the phone and warranty put in their name.

OK, thanks for the info. I don't have the receipt. I bought it in a sealed box for $475 off craigslist. Oh well I guess it may just go in my drawer and a back up/toy
Its a great device I just cannot stand the email formats, I've tried k9 mail droid gmail native mail. None seem to fit the email to the screen well. That just a bit of a deal breaker.

Really? Pinch to zoom isn't doing it for you?

It seems like I mainly have issues with HTML formating and embedded pics.
I am getting wonderful battery life though. Cm and Franco 5 hours screen time!!!
This is a great phone, I am just having a hard time adjusting to android. On iOS I could do anything that the phone/jailbreak allowed. This is my first android and I hate bugging people on here with noobish questions.
I'm still on the fact fence to be honest. I swithx between this nexus and my iPhone 5 often. This nexus by far wins on the customization aspect, I find gaming to be a bit lacking and the email clients. Those are my only 2 issues
For an android user I'm sure this is one of the best devices around, just for a noob, its a bit overwhelming.

I tried selling something on eBay for the first time recently. I even asked a friend with lots of selling experience for help. Still got boned. You may have better luck.
I'm amazed you would want to sell your Nexus 4. I used an iPhone 5 yesterday and I wasn't in the least bit impressed. Don't get me wrong. I'm not looking to turn this into a N4 vs. iPhone 5 war. But I guess that's the beauty of all these choices we have. I use what I like, and you use what you like.

Well a little insite to my home set up. I have 3 apple TVs, a 3tb time capusle, imac, and a macbook air and a Mac bookpro. I love the nexus its jus a bit overwhelming. I'm old and like super simple stuff lol.

The item was easily worth $250. I couldn't find an option to set a minimum selling price. It sold for $78. It sucked.
My friend was supposed to hop on and bid at the last minute to raise the price if no one bid higher, except he was off by 24 hours and the auction ended. Good times.
In all seriousness, ebay is set up to protect the buyer. A seller has to be very careful. All a buyer has to do is say they got an empty box or no package and PayPal refunds their money. EBay has it's uses, don't get me wrong. Just be careful. Check people's feedback and history. If something smells wrong, trust your gut.

Just ask questions. XDA isn't very newb friendly so ignore the assholes on here that will go off on you for asking any type of question. There is always someone willing to help though. People will yell all day about using search but that can be very overwhelming as well. If you searched pretty well and found nothing just ask, don't be afraid. I'm only saying this because I promise you in the end you will find your Nexus 4 and Android to be a far better option than iOS and the iPhone 5

Like using anything new it takes some time to get adjusted. When you're on the internet you have to have a thick skin so don't let anyone deter you.
Anyways try swappa.com

Well I bought a nano to micro sim adapter coming in the mail. Now I will be able to use both. When i get frustrated a can switch to the iphone until i figure out wth i did wrong on the nexus. I also got a sony google tv, and a Netgear Push2TV PTV3000 Wireless Display Adapter. Google products are a lot of fun. I was just REALLY confused.

Nexus 4 on eBay are going for about $440.

You can always sell it on here to a fellow enthusiast. There just happens to be a thread above yours asking if Craigslist is a good place to buy one.

Wow.
Getting your friend to up the bid???
That sorta defeats the thrill of getting a bargain on ebay for people...
Of course you can set a minimum bid. Karma sux mate.
Lucky your friend didn't win it. Then you have to pay the sales listing cost and still have to resell the item.
I've used ebay since 2006 and never once boned

Hope everything works out, This is one of the best phones I've ever gotten, the best being going from a dumbphone to the Droid, it got me into the whole root/ROM thing, which adds insane amounts of customization. It is a bit much, but once you make your phone yours, you wouldn't trade it for anything but another Nexus.

Are you gonna buy the Note 4?

I'm aking myself, due to the price of tne Note 4(so much expensive), do you want to buy it to replace the excellent Note 3?

While I appreciate the interest you show about my/our life, I'm not quite sure what possible benefits you'd get from that specific information you're asking me/us. If you want to do market research, I'm afraid that's something Samsung is already doing. People are being paid horrendous amounts of money to do that. Why would you do it for free? What in the sweet name of the Doctor is the purpose of this question? Questions everywhere, answers nowhere. Cruel world, hurt me again. Right in the feelings :'(

There is a thread about this exact problem someone had.. It is either in this TMobile forum...or the International Note 4 forum. I go back and forth and can't remember exactly. I think the guy returned his. You don't by chance have a case with magnets, do you?

It can apparently also be caused by magnets on the case

Nope no case on it. Actually I just got home from buying it.

WARNING!!! Fake vs Real Note 4

Warning!! I just came across this at work when my co-worker asked me to set up his phone. I realized something was wrong when I saw the screen and size of this note 4. I decided to show it off for those who is considering picking up one from ebay or Craigslist. See the comparison from a real note 4 and see for yourself. There's no real difference w/ the software but the hardware might be a concern since the battery(charger) is not Original it might blow-up or melt. The fake one is really flaky and has weird random vibration and I would not recommend using it at ALL!!

As far as I can tell, that's an N910F, which is the Note 4 for most of Europe (and I believe is Exynos based) so it's not fake, just not US market.

You're are correct one the version. It's a custom rom from the international version. But...see attachment of the cpu spec from cpu z. Also, did you see the back panel w the battery? The fake have obvious over paint...

I saw that, but it's possible for someone to paint a device. That doesn't mean it's fake.
Now the CPU showing up as a Mediatek is suspect, but still not conclusive I don't think as software can be wrong. Regardless, the buyer didn't get what they thought they were getting.

Yea, more and more fakes are popping up. I just remember watching this video where he bought a fake. There will always be a good counterfeit and an even better one.

Testing Wacom digitizer is probably one of better tests. Knocks off using much cheaper digitizer and button on pen doesnt work.

I see these kinds of fakes at work all the time, and they're getting better & better. That MOLY baseband gives it away every time though.

Yeah, this phone had the Chinese letter in recovery as the vid you posted. The S-Pen is a total fake...haha. Under the battery there's no sticker at all.

That is definantly a fake i came across a couple of them.people were trying to passoff asreal note 4s

Tell me about it...I was suspicious right away compared to my co-worker who didn't even have a clue of how it was "fake" he asked me how I know and I showed him these photo. It's sad people take advantage of other who isn't knowledge of these stuff.

IT'S UTTER CRAP!!! The response time is slow...definitely not as a real note 4. The screen is flaky and you need to press hard or couple of time to get any response from the LCD. Also, I noticed it heated up when I put in the charger. Wouldn't trust this crap charging on my night stand.

Unfortunately it doesn't surprise me in the slightest. People are awful and they'll do anything for a buck, including preying on people's innocence.
We still sell these at my work whenever we get them in, but we put it in big bold letters in the auction- this is a clone, not a real Samsung phone- just so people know exactly what they're buying.

I came across one too. The S-Pen, the thin battery, the light/low-volt charger was a quick way for me to notice some thing was not right.
On the OP picture of the back, you can also tell the heart rate sensor looks different.

I'm sure many of these are sold on the run. Like off the street and craigslist. They'll run away with your money.

Someone tried this on my girlfriend. I ended up beating the shiit out of him than i threw the note in a puddle. Lol got me so heated.

Wow, that's crazy. That's not a clone, that's a counterfeit! ?
And I'd say 99% of people (buyers) would never know it was not authentic!
You would have to be phone savvy to realize it wasn't genuine. ??

To me the biggest giveaway for fake Galaxy phones is always the screen.
Amoled screens are always dark looking when the phone is turned off. If the screen isn't dark (almost pitch black) when turned off 9/10 times it is a fake or possibly a real one Galaxy that could of had screen damage and was replaced with a fake screen.
Check the side by side pic comparison the OP posted.
