Check your Vzw accounts. Credits! - Verizon Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion

Since Verizon is not selling note 7 anymore. They are all canceling the note 7 contracts and giving your upgrades back and billing your credit for what you have paid for the payments plan back.

I am thinking of going to a LG V20. First I will check to determine whether it might end up having a Verizonized Interface like the Note 7. I guess checking in with the V10 and G5 owners be a good indicator. If so, bye bye VZW! If we keep the Note 7s, we'll never see Nougat (or any update). I might even put up with the crappy resolution and go with an Iphone 7 plus (401 or 402 ppi .......Yeacccch!)

I'm hoping they'll let customers keep their note 7's as they're not going to refurb them, since it's being cancelled altogether.
I haven't been able to confirm nor deny whether it's possible to keep the note 7, but I'm hoping.

so far so good!

It looks like you are correct. I just logged into my business account and it suddenly shows that line eligible for an upgrade.

128gb Pixel XL in Silver just ordered. I'm done with phone swaps. I still keep the 2gb monthly bonus data. Unfortunately the Pixel isn't eligible for the Annual Upgrade Program which was a big part of why I bought the Note 7 knowing if it was poor it was only for 12 months. Did it online so they charged a 20 dollar upgrade fee. I will be calling tomorrow to get that refunded along with 35 bucks for the hand laid carbon fiber case I bought for the Note 7 that is now worthless... even as a paperweight lol. I'm also going to make sure I get the 300 dollar (over 24 months) credit for the Note 7 trade in and the Daydream Viewer. Even if I don't get the 35 bucks for the case I can sell the Gear VR, 256gb SD card and Fit 2.... It'll work out.

why would they if you bought them from best buy?

Was a rhetorical question really. I wouldn't expect V to refund me for something I bought elsewhere. Still sucks though. I sure hope Best Buy will honor a refund given the circumstances.
The thing that ticks me off is that the N7 had pretty much dominant specs when compared to other 2016 model phones/phablets but it is what it is.
What other modern phones (on vzw) are root friendly and have big ars screens? Was eyeballing the pixel but No MicroSD is a big bummer for me and who knows about rooting Android N (7.1) Moto Z looks pretty nice. Apple is NOT an option. Made that mistake already for 4years.

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.

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.

Will the N6 have sales and price drops like the Moto X?

Personally, I'm leaning toward yes on this question given the history of the Galaxy Nexus. However, I wanted to get the thoughts of others here on the forums. I really want to wait, but I'm finding it hard.

Well the gnex started at $649 and eventually went to $399 on the play store. The n4 and the n5 started even lower than that at $299 and $349 respectively. There is a big difference. I'm not saying you are wrong, just trying to get us to consider all the facts.

Nope, the same treatment will be needed for all previous Nexus, which Google ACTUALLY does, but not carrier-oriented procedure.
But taking in mind that the Nexus 5 will be the first on be more than a full year on the market, the drop of price will definitely go for it first than anything.
I doubt it will have price drops this year, i have been in contact with a supplier and he says its a premium price with those specs, motorola has been strict with specific details till november.

Google will NOT make it cheaper. Third party sellers is another thing
If specs are nothing in the android world, you my dear friend need to go get an iphone. Thats why people are crying because Note 4 nor S5 is 4gb of ram. Thats why people are crying cause G3 is 801 not 805. Thats why people are crying cause the huge Note 4 is not BIGGER or the z3 is not BIGGER.
Just because specs to you are nothing, does not mean how the rest of the android users feel
The op wait 6 months, he will find it else were cheaper, even on swapper cheaper...but he sure as well wont get it from google cheaper
Wait a couple of months. A lot of people with will use their $200 upgrade and flip the phone on EBay for $500 to $550. You can find a brand new LG G3 for $400 on EBay and that phone hasn't been out that long.

The fact that it has high end specs mean nothing when it comes to phone holding value over time. Google will never drop the price via the playstore but as the previous guy said, many users who will get it via contract subsidy for $200, will sell it for $550 new on ebay.

There is a risk that the phone you buy is blacklisted. I normally check the person's feedback and look at their EBay rating. Most people that have a long history of selling stuff on EBay want be looking to scam you.

Just got the Nexus 6p, anyone choose this over the Moto X Pure?

So I had a s7 edge which was lagging bad (came from the Moto G 3rd generation) and I just bought the Nexus 6p from bestbuy and was wondering if anyone took back the 6p for the Moto x pure or took back the pure to get the 6p. Please help me understand my purchase.
Sent from my Nexus 6P using XDA-Developers mobile app
I chose the Nexus over the Moto. Reasons:
1. Development.
2. Updates.
3. Ease in unlocking/rooting/modifying.
This is getting weird. Like the weather, it seems.
Now we must justify the choices of others.
As soon as the Moto Z Force comes to Britain, I will be swapping my beloved 6p for it

Is it possible that it's just weird to you? As I've been browsing the forum it seems like you jump in as soon as someone talks bad about this phone. Weird indeed.
Well guys I had the pure and it just seemed....washed out. But that was back when it was still on lollipop. I went from a G5 that ended up bricking itself after 1 day, to trading it for a v10 (I paid $300 cash for the g5 brand new at&t) and got $50 cash on top with v10 trade. The v10 had this weird white spot and a burn in type effect and I asked to return it to my guy for a s7 edge with cash on my end. So I gave him $100 and the v10 and got the s7 edge brand new. Typing on it was a b**** and it lagged to open the app drawer and I just hated how delayed everything was. So I sold the s7 edge for $500 and was torn between the Nexus 6p (never had one) or the Moto x. The local bestbuy had both phones but only the Moto x was on display. It seemed dim but it looked OK. The Nexus 6p was Google blocked so I was unable to test it. I read everywhere people pick the Moto x pure and I just got the Nexus 6p and it looks great.

i been using iphone 6s plus for about 4 months coming from an s6 and i love the iphone its a nice phone just boring lol anyway i ordered a 6p and its coming today! so im just excited to be here!
I switched from the Moto x pure. The nexus is so much faster, less awkward to hold, and flat back is great! Tempered screen protectors actually fit,the 6p feels much lighter weight, and that gold is gorgeous. I do miss the Moto speakers and expandable storage, but I wouldn't go back.
Has anyone ordered or is considering ordering a OnePlus 3? I just did, I figured what the hell. 15 day no questions asked return policy and they pay shipping back. I also didn't get charged any tax. $399 out the door.
Other than a 1080p screen, it has monster specs. I guess the phone junkie part of me isn't gone yet lol.
I figure I will simply return it if I'm not feeling it. Anyone else?

If you guys are getting pixel xl, might as well as get it from Google. Verizon's obviously slow down the updates + bloats, I mean it's frigging Verizon. Downside is the wait time for getting from Google is long...
I'm kinda liking the v20 more as time goes on. It's got a lot of interesting features, which is why the Note 7 is a lot of fun too.
The Nexus 6P is really good, so the pixel should be better. Sure is ugly, but everything is after the Note.
The iPad Pro is starting to grow on me but the phone is probably too much. Good to have a mix. Android and iOS aren't anything alike. Good or bad.
I'd be happy to just keep using the Note. There's something that really stinks about the current hysteria. I'd take my chances.
S7 Edge for me. Rather than repeat the post I made in another thread, I'll just link to it
I pre-ordered the Pixel XL 128GB. If I don't like it I'll exchange it for the V20.

Verizon won't slowdown updates. Verizon will handle the updates but it won't get delayed. Just like they do with iPhones. Verizon's version will have 3 Preinstalled apps which you can remove them. That's pretty much it

And a locked bootloader. I understand that's the price of most Verizon phones, but on a Google device?! Buy it direct.
I just broke down and pre-ordered the Pixel XL 128GB. Hopefully I wont miss all the special little Samsung perks like QI, water resistance and Samsung pay. Luckily, our company purchases the phones on a one year contract so If I hate it I can grab a Note 8 (or whatever they replace it with)

I ported to AT&T where LGV20 pre-orders are available. Pre-ordered 2 V20s arrival date 10/24 through 10/27. I tried to pump VZW to learn when they would get the V20 with no luck (that info is probably only high high up) ...so back to AT&T we go! At least the free cloud storage is 50 gb as opposed to 5gb (on share plans) and a higher probability of enjoying an unadulterated LG experience (remembering what VZW did to the Note 7 Samsung cloud and device maintenance settings....We are currently using an old AT&T Note 3 and a Nexus 6P (running Android 7) while we wait.

That's how I feel about the pixel, don't know what exactly but I really don't like no SDcard. The lack of an SDcard was the reason I passed on the Note5. I had actually planned to keep the Note 7 until the Note 8 arrived but they seem to be making that difficult. I'm looking at the Moto Z Force and LG V20, neither of which I like as well as the Note 7. It sounds like the Moto Z will never see root so that kills it for me. The LG doesn't really impress me that much either but it does seem like the best option at this point. I just wish I would have kept my Note 3 (sold it on eBay), maybe I'll reactivate my old Note 2, lol.
Moving on to the Pixel XL 128GB and got a free Daydream VR for pre-ordering it from Verizon. Just wish Samsung could find and fix the problem because the Note 7 is as close to the perfect phone for me that I've ever used. Personally, I think a smaller battery would fix the issue. They just squeezed to much battery into to skinny a phone I think.

Canada - Waiting Room/ Discussion

Hey fellow Canadians! What a time to be alive hey! Once again it's that time of year. Hope we can aggregate all Canadian concerns here. We'll start it as a waiting room and let it evolve into something more Cheers!
Well I guess I'll go first! Pre-ordered the Note 20 Ultra directly from Samsung on release day! Got the bronze color with the Bud's live. Weird thing is that it wouldn't let me get the buds in the same color. Status as of today is preparing for dispatch and it should ship on August 17th! I also picked the monthly payments over on year but since the first payment is October 5th I'll probably just pay it off in one lump sum. ?

I jumped on the pre order then saw no 512gb mustic bronze available.
i need 512gb and absolutely do not want black.
they base all the advertising on this colour then dont offer it in the larger storage? did the same thing last year with aura glow but at least its 256gb....going backwards is not for me.
im pissed to say the least...its so frustrating.
i may skip the note and go for the fold 2..unless they screw that up also.

I'd say have a look at the inventory every day or so as it might change. But to your point they do weird ass things. Only the black buds are GWP. I tried adding the bronze ones and they were charged on the invoice. Other than that I'm really excited about the phone.

i was 1000% sure id get it but the colour thing then the fact that its not quite as ultra as the S20 is pisses me off lol (granted Im easily pissed off haha).
less ram, lesser cameras,smaller battery, no 45 w charge etc etc. they left alot on the table.
just seems like they got lazy and just didn't bother to try and outdo the S20 and the note is supposed to be the flagship.

That's the thing though. It is better than the S20 UFS 3.1, SD865+, GG Vertus laser auto focus. The latter addresses my biggest issue with the Ultra. I actually downgraded to the s20+ which I think is better than the ultra. For a lot of people, me included the note 20 ultra is a better value proposition than the S20 ultra.
The battery is smaller but the refresh rate switches to accommodate the lesser battery. That combined with the fact that even the s20 5000mah ultra battery couldn't beat the iPhone 11 Pro Max's 3960mah battery makes the whole battery argument a moot point for me. It charges fast and last the whole day. That's all I need.

Whats going on brother. You easily pissed...NAHH..NO WAY...[emoji1787][emoji23]. I just went for the 128GB in Bronze

I bit the bullet and just pre-ordered the black Note 20 Ultra 512GB. Bronze is ok but at least by pics it's just not for me and when I first strayed from black was with the Note 7 so I feel cursed if I buy anything other than black hahaha. I love my Note 10+ but my wife is ready for an upgrade (well at least in my mind she is lol) from her S8 and since I love new toys I will give her my Note 10+ then we're both set for a couple years easy lol. That's my way of justifying the purchase heh.

lol....you know me too well Butchie.
im gona wait for a bit and see what happens.
really love the bronze since its kinda like my copper metallic Note 9 but i def need 512gb.
I went with that storage on Note 9 and I don't use it at all so I figured why bother on Ultra. And all my devices are black except N9 and loved the bronze

my 256gb note 10 plus has about 30gb free...im definitely going to run out in the next few months.
I used to keep everything on my sd card...then my first note 9 got stolen from my gym and the prick who stole it has full access to all my pics etc since he can just pull the sd card out.
since then everything stays on my internal since its almost impossible to get into a locked phone these days.
I do to much tinkering and always accidentally wipe my internal storage..lol

Why does Samsung not offer dual sim models in Canada? I have a note 10 and had to order an international version to get dual sim. I am not going back to carrying two phones again!
Cracked screen trade-in (Can vs US)
So the BS continues for us Canadians, I did the comparison of trade-in values on cracked screens.
My NOTE 9 trade-in value in Canada is $38 where as in the states same phone is $350.
We're getting a crippled version of the Watch 3 because of slow government acceptance and we have to pay over 2k for NOTE 20 Ultra (512GB) with one color option...
Also, the fine print for the 0% financing option says there's a $6.95 monthly fee but hey ZERO PERCENT INTEREST!
I think someone should supply a shovel, it's getting deeper by the day.

Oh we're far from perfect, better yes but definitely not close to perfection. Just look at our exchange rate for one. I lose a quarter for every Canadian dollar, there's one thing you 'mericans are doing better, taking us to the cleaners

in a perfect country I could open carry, if I got caught with a firearm on me here i go to jail.
Here in Canada if someone breaks into my house and I shoot them I go to jail.
about as far from perfect as it gets, more like totally backwards.
about as OT as it gets lol.

What? $6.95 monthly fee? Crazy. My an was to pay it all off in one lump sum on October 5th when the 1st payment is due. Well now I'm even more motivated. Thanks for the info. ?
