So I got my first shift on launch day. I was so excited to get away from my Moment. I got it from best buy and got the Black tie protection. I thought I got black tie in conjunction with the sprint insurance. Less than a month later, I drop the phone in the sink and take it to BB. They send it off to their repair ctr and I'm stuck with the Moment for 3 weeks before I get a new Shift. 3 weeks is a long time to wait for a phone, so I cancel the best buy insurance (thinking I still had sprint's.)
Then less than a month later, my down volume rocker stops working and i take the phone to the sprint store. Turns out, best buy canceled the sprint insurance and so not only do they not repair/replace the phone, they take pictures of the broken solder points on the volume rocker, circle them, and show me exactly where the hardware defect is that they wont fix! So I call Assurion pissed about this and get my insurance reinstated.
A couple weeks later, I take my phone to another sprint repair center and they tell me that my phone has been added to a "Do not repair" list and that they cant do anything about it. Furious again about this situation, I call sprint and they give me some crap about how the insurance didnt start til after the phone was placed on the list, so they cant fix the phone.
So I gave up. I cancelled the insurance again and just used the phone on vibrate all the time. Well, last week, my screen shattered and I was just gonna buy a new screen and fix it and the broken solder on the motherboard at one time. they wont fix it anyway right? But then my fiance suggested that I call sprint and complain again.
Well I did, and this time told them that as soon as the Nexus Prime came out, I would be leaving sprint (to whom I have been a loyal customer since 2001) for verizon and now all of a sudden, they're apologizing for the way they treated me. The rep said that they cant fix the shift because it was on the Do-not-repair list, but he could give me a brand new Epic Touch for $30 and I was still eligible for my upgrade in January.
Moral of the story is, Buy a case for your phone.
Either way you look at it, its time for an upgrade... Go with what makes you happy pal,, best of luck to you

Omg that hella sucks balls. They gave me that phone at bestbuy for a loaner while they tried to fix my hero. Then the refurb hero came in and it was stuck to a bad esn so they gave me a new shift. That sammy inter sucked worse then my hero ever did. I dont see any way in hell bb or sprint could send you an inny for a shift! This phone rocks way more socks. If you "paid" $30 bones for that i would raise hell worse then a nercomancer! Hope all ends and pays off for you and you took names and employee numbers!

Call Sprint raise Hell, and the mention the "V" word. They hate hearing that. Seems like once you mention Verizon, it changes their attitude. Well at least that's my experience .

Damn....I'm sorry. Call sprint, tell them you want to cancel and they"ll send you to 'rententions' (or they used to anyway, coulda changed in the past few years) and raise hell. You can prob squeeze out some major concessions if you mention verizon a few times

Well now we know why it was only $30 . sorry though thats horrible. my mother has the intercept and if she didn't need a phone i'd chunk it out the windows, skip it like a rock in the pond, and see if it would work as a speed bump for cars.
It's possibly the worst phone sprint carries "not to discourage the fun times you'll have with it"
but I would call sprint and (like everyone else said) raise hell as much as you can. hopefully you did take notes and kept track of this. and like prboy said make sure you mention Verizon that'll get em to do something.
I feel for ya, me and that phone hate each other, and even the custom roms and kernels don't help that much.
I went in to my local tmobile today to just check out the GSIII because im waiting on the white one to come out. While there i grew interested in the pebble blue one and I asked the Rep if they had anymore in stock and said that they only received 6!!! WTF? how do you only get 6 GSIII's in stock?

i'm pretty sure most corporate stores don't get ginormous quantities in stock unless you are in a prime market/location.
i mean come on 6 phones geesh but oh well I cant cry over spilled milk
this more than no LTE pisses you off?
Only big stores in big cities get a lot in stock.
This is true for any phone on any carrier. Usually smaller stores even in big cities will only get about ten or so devices.
So Sprint is offering black friday deals on the Galaxy S3 of $49.00 and that is a tough bargain to pass up.
I love my Epic, and I love the hardware keyboard. With that being said I have been eligble for an upgrade for well over a year. I'm thinking get the S3 for $49 trying it out, and if I don't like it sell it on Ebay. Take the money gained and apply it to a Galazy Note 2?
Not sure, but whatever I decide my wife will be keeping my Epic, so I won't be going too far and will keep an eye on this forum.

What Frost said, but I might keep it private between The People. It seems most ROMs are debloated without knowing the dependencies of what they remove and people have issues. I always go for stability first so I am not removing anything and will help people learn how to debloat to their liking. With that said, Jellybomb has quick updates, fixes and support as well as tons of themes and options. I highly recommend flashing the removed apps zip as well.
You might as well make it public. It will eventually get out and some **** stain will try to pass it off as their own, so you might as well take your lumps now and deal with all the GS3 noobs.

It still might be cheaper to get a basic membership + $1 S3 then to get it anywhere else you mentioned. Plus the free samplers in the food section alone will make your membership cost effective

I've been on the phone all morning calling all the AT&Ts around trying to find out who's got the S4, and no one seems to have it or know when they're getting it, some say they expect to get them some time tmrw, others said they will today, and a few have told me they usually get shipments in the morning, and it being 1pm now they don't expect anything else today
I've been getting bad news and dead ends everywhere..
have any of you had any luck with your local AT&Ts? just heard this morning Verizon, Sprint, and T-Mobile got pushed back due to supply issues.. which makes me worry about my ability to pick one up tmrw morning.. shouldn't AT&T have stock by now and be setting up displays?

I got mine from pre-order on Tuesday via FedEx. This thing is awesome.
The story keeps changing
Initially weeks ago I was told to come back to my store when preorders shipped and I could pick one up. Then I was told Tuesday in the store that they would be released today so I made an appointment to upgrade at opening today. When I called to confirm my appoinment and the arrival of the S4's last night they told me they are not releasing until Saturday. Tired of getting the run around, I called 3 other AT&T stores and confirmed that Saturday is the day. They actually posted it on twittter earlier in the week but I guess I was hoping that to be wrong so I could get it sooner than Saturday. But it is what it is people, deal with it or go somewhere else to get it....
FYI, avoid lines and waiting tomorrow morning for the release and make an appointment for an upgrade if you are an AT&T customer. Schedule for when the store opens and you will be the first walking out the door with that little gem in your hands. That tip is for free....
I saw that appointment thing, but I figured they wouldn't really honor it tomorrow.

The best phone I've ever used. Not one complaint yet. .. well besides the lack of root but in due time
I love the display settings. If you hate the usual over saturated Amoleds then you can easily change the color calibration easily.
1080p screen is amazing. The camera is really detailed and a lot of fun with all the features included. I'll post a full res picture in the next post.

Walked into my AT&T store (Reno) today and they had both colors in stock.
The Att corporate store where I live in Kentucky has them in stock to sell. I went in to try out the demo unit. The nice sales last asked me if I wanted one since they had them in stock. Two things stopped me: I am a Verizon customer and waiting (perhaps with futility) for a 32gb version. That 9gb of free storage would be filled over by some of my Gameloft games alone.
Yes, if you want to come all the way to Massachusetts. HA. My AT&T store is full of them. Sprint however is selling them like hotcakes.
I talked to tmobile on their twitter help page and then called them. The rep told me on the phone I can keep the device if I like and when they get replacements in they will ship the replacement FIRST and then I can send them back my original Note 7. I ordered mine via the store so I have to deal with corporate. Tmobile help page told me the same thing I can keep my Note and simply swap it out but said I can have it shipped to the store too.
I hope this is the case and I can have it shipped to my house and simply send the old one back. The only store near me is always busy and their staff is a PITA to deal with.
I do have an S7 to use as a backup but hate the small screen and I don't want to get a refund then have to wait for that to be put back on the card.
I am watching the V20 too. I might be out next week BUT we know how the G5 has issues and turned into a major flop. I'd hate leaving the Note and it ends up the V20 is a POS phone and stuck with a worse phone.
I just called them, they said bring it back to the store for a full refund or a new phone. Replacements aren't even available yet , why can't people just be competent, not asking for a genius, just basic competency.

You mean the reps? I think Tmobile is being pretty straight forward, so far compared to the other carriers who are not even really sure what to do yet. Overall though I hate the reps especially the ones in the stores. Most are clueless. The store basically says if you ordered it you have to go through Tmobile and the store won't issue a refund.
What problems did the G5 have?

I hear battery life and the modules some were reporting they become loose over time and durability issues too I've seen people talk about. Overall a crap device that was hyped a lot before launch. I don't want to get a v20 and it has issues and is a crap phone. At least with the Note I know what I'm getting.

From a business perspective, this is not the result of incompetence. They know that trial lawyers are waiting around for the first Note 7 from T-Mobile to burn so they can hit them (and Samsung) with a class-action lawsuit. If that happens, the cost to T-Mobile will be huge, so they are trying to get the Note 7s back ASAP, even though they aren't ready for it. This is a totally unexpected event. They didn't stockpile alternate phones in the last few weeks in preparation for a bunch of people trading back their brand-new Note 7s.
They should allow a pre order replacement so not everyone is calling them or everyone going to the store at once when the new phones are available. It's gonna get chaotic.

Thing is there is no official time line of events. Who knows how the failure works and when, not saying most will be affected but saying it hasnt happened yet isnt really concrete proof it wont ever happen.
Like the ring of death on the Xbox 360.
Also no phone should explode if you are using a different charger. Thats again a failure of the manufacturer

I posted a similar post yesterday, I've seen it with HTC and Samsung where a few months into sales of a phone they seem to silently switch manufacturing to another vendor or use cheaper parts I guess to improve profits.....so my thought is now with this whole recall and it's cost to the bottom line will Samsung (A) Keep everything quality wise the same and take the full hit? or (B) Save every penny they can short of the battery pack? (i.e cheaper made camera parts from cheaper vendor etc)
You know someone on the boards the other day brought up a good point.
If the CPSC gets involved with this (as of now they are NOT) it will be illegal to sell a note 7 that has been recalled. So if you were going to sell your faulty Note 7 on ebay or something
it would be illegal.
So i would def get a replacement if you are planning to sell down the road.
My wife and I will trade ours in when they get the replacements in stock. We're not going to trade it in just quite yet.
its my understanding that T Mobile US might not be affected by the recall at all, and we all might not wind up needing new phones.
