where to get - T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hey i had a question on where i could try and find a note 4 t-mobile without buying it. i normally just look for phones on craigslist and trade some cash and my current phone, are there any other places that work like that? and as a second question is the t-mobile model's bootloader locked or no.
thanks guys.
ps. sorry if i posted in the wrong place..

I'd like to know where I can find some Note 4's without buying them also... Anyone? Come on! I only need 20 or 30. BUT I don't want to buy them. What a novel idea! :angel:

I can't even.

What are you really try to accomplish? Nothing is for free, as far as Craigslist, that is just asking for trouble. Tmobile note4 is not locked!

i cant afford throwing out 700$ for a new phone so i normally trade for it, like i have a galaxy s5 att model and want the note 4 so i normally just trade someone my current phone along with like 300$ in cash so its not like im asking for a place to get them for free.. jeeze im 16 but im not retarded...
i just do a complete wipe of everything first of course. regardless, don't have to be so mean about it.

Go to Costco and just pay sales tax of the phone, than whatever you choose to pay a month+ the EIP.

Wasn't being mean. Just didn't understand your question. The Note 4 is still relatively new. Not a lot of people are going to be swapping just yet. Give it some time.

Let's not be afraid of the search button and search on google. You be amazed in what you would find.
BAD ASS NOTE 4

I have yet to see anyone else with the galaxy note 4 on the bus or the streets. I seem to be the only one. Yet their sold out in all stores? Lol. I saved up for mine and I'm paying it off in a month so I can hop on the $50 plan.

Just ordered a Galaxy Nexus

G2x was a great phone, and despite LG's various fails it was corrected by our devs. But, as a fandroid, you have that little voice in the back of your head making your life miserable when there is a nexus annouced, or even better hardware for that matter.
I just bit the bullet and ordered an unlocked GN. $696 and some change, including shipping and bank fees. God help me, this android addiction is getting out of hand
It's the GSM flavor, imported of course. Who want's to deal with Verizon and the mockery they have made of the Nexus brand? F*ck you Verizon, Google - I am disappointed in you for being Verizon's B*tch The European GN is the true Nexus.
Any other fandroids out there want to join me?
MOD EDIT: REMOVED LINK
It is just a pre-order for now, but stock is expected in 2 days. And if your cautious, handtec is a reputable vendor, pay with Google Checkout and your butt should be covered

The Droid RAZR is $649 off contract, add tax and your looking at an easy $700+ It's 16GB as well, only difference is the lack of an SD card slot on the GN Oh well, it's not that bad - my galaxy tab doesn't have an SD card slot either and that doesn't bother me at all

I paid around $600 (after tax and all that) for my Vibrant off contract. The fact that this is penta-band and allows you to use it with any carrier is definitely a plus and if you pick good no-contract plans, you can easily come out way ahead of getting a subsidized phone on contract.

I didn't really post as a farewell, it was to reassure anyone who was planning on switching to the Nexus I never left, and I plan on keeping my NVFlash Guide updated even after I do
I wont make the same mistake again, i will wait a couple of months after it comes out, see development, then maybe buy one. Got g2x on 4/20 early in the morning and even tho i got a good phone, NVIDIA (dumb asses) really are holding devs down.
Why do you guys insist on writing such a stupid comments "Why are you posting this"
"We don't care, GTFO"
Don't you have anything else to do other then to troll the forum?
It's his/her choice. This does not mean that he should stopped posting on this forum and move on to his new forum.
I will be buying N9 in near future and I will continue to see how development of this phone is moving forward as well as participate in discussions.

I was going to make fun of you for having an EDGE only phone.. then I looked at the 4g icon on my G2X which equates to EDGE speeds despite claiming to be connected to 4g....
Can I have your old G2X? Mine got scratches on the screen on day 2
The way it works is you sell the G2x for $200. Use the money and pick a contract phone with high resell value. Sell it for the price of the Nexus. Live happily.
The G2x is still sweet. But I'll probably pick a Nexus up on Verizon through work to save from paying a personal cell. Depends on development and issues. I'm still torn.

+1 to that.
Omar, I hope the GN goes well for you! I've been itching for one, but I told myself I'm gonna stick with the G2x for a while since for the past 5 years I've been getting a new phone every year, hahaha. I want to see how far I can take this thing.
Plus... I don't think I have the dough to just shell out, lol.

The GSM Nexus has a pentaband HSPA+ radio, meaning you will get 4G on both T-Mobile and AT&T
is a nice phone ^^

Leaving for the S3+$80

Now that I've been successful, thought I'd share:
So I just came up for an upgrade on T-Mobile, and BestBuy.com had the GS3 T-Mobile upgrade for $179.99, so I decided "Why not sell this phone on Ebay while it's still semi-popular and get a S3?"
I called T-Mobile, got an unlock code, reverted to stock ICS, and sold my phone on Ebay for $350. After taxes, ebay+paypal fees, phone purchase+activation fee, I netted about an $80 profit after everything was said and done.
Thanks to all of the developers here for your hard work developing for the ugly stepchild of the SII line! I hope you all do well.

according to some leaked news about the next Samsung and HTC are both making each their own flavour of Nexus 5 phones
the model from Samsung it's going to be slightly inferior to the S3, but slightly better than the S2, and they finally put back the SD card, 4.8" display, slightly faster CPU as the previous Galaxy Nexus, the rest is vanilla
HTC is going to release a 5" version with supposedly 1080 display, instead of 720
it'll be interesting the kind of mess and confusion we'll see when both hits the market
Hey I think after selling my phone outright on eBay for that much I would of just found someone on Craigslist and purchased SIII outright and kept my upgrade intact. That's how you flip 'em.... Good job though and congrats

I somewhat agree with this i did the same. Sold my s2 for $320, was going to be $340, but i was a no show because of urgent matters and i gave the guy $20 discount for his troubles. Anyways bought the s3 for $400. So i paid $80 for an upgrade.
Now if you guys haven't heard. T-Mobile and asurion is cracking down on insurance fraud especially for s3. It doesn't matter if it's lost or stolen. From 1 week to 3 months, the s3 will be blacklisted if it was filed for insurance claims.
How did i reassure my purchase, I actually bought mine from the guy's house, he is actually buying the note to help him transition to the note 2. He was a really stand up guy. I asked him to hold the phone for me, and he did for 2 days. Other buyers were inquiring about it constantly but kept his word (note: the average price for s3 around my area is $450, so it's cheaply priced). He was the one who brought up insurance fraud and stuff, and he was saying how people ask him about that and he told me that's just dumb that people do that just for some quick cash. Told me not to worry that i have his number and knows where he lives so just give him a call or anything is wrong with the phone. Really cool guy, i can tell he's a phone junkie like the rest of us.
Tl:dr; insurance is blacklisting s3. If buying from CL get the guy's ID, address etc, you can judge his character, if it's sketchy, don't bother.

Lol it is, the s2 is generally selling for about 250-280 on average around my parts. So it's even better that i can sell mine for above average and buy something below market price lol.
The benefits of keeping your phone in good condition with all the box and accessories. Plus matching imei number and under warranty until february by samsung. Not sure if it carries over on T-Mobile though.
See you over on the s3 side soon lol.

I'm assuming you're kidding the s3 is fairly identical on all the major carries (besides lte capabilities). I definitely miss my Hercules but thankfully it didn't go far my girlfriend and have our upgrades staggered so I always get the new phone and she gets the hand me down. Now I just might have to sell her t989 give her the SIII and boom hello note 2!!
I was thinking of getting the note 2 or the s3 ...in Ghana here the note 2 is 1,590 cedis and the s3 1,450 cedis, so with the current exchange rate of 1$= 2¢edis that will be 725$ for the s3 and 795$ for the note.. but am still not sure as to which one to buy...its not really about the money but which one will be good. In Ghana its very difficult to buy things on eBay, cos you have to pay too much to get a credit card here and still wait forever for you item to be shipped in....have any of you tried one of these?...can you help me select...

Cheapest way to go from iPhone5 to HTC one?

I have a iphone 5 black 16gb with att, but want to move to an HTC One.. Im still within contract with att and dont qualify for early upgrade.. I know i can try to trade it, or try to sell my iphone and then just buy the HTC One..
But is there a trick going around??
Like i know when the iphone 5 there was a trick to get att to refund the early activation fee, etc.. I see there are alot of trade programs and what not..
In the case that there are no trick.. is the best price for a HCT one directly from them? I see they have it for $574 unlocked.. It doesnt have to be unlocked but directly from Att is like $599

Sell iPhone for absurd profit and buy the One from AT&T unsubsidized. Your cost should be about the same as buying the One on subsidy. I say buy from At&T for their warranty.
You won't pay an activation fee, that's only on devices bought on subsidy.
If you can get your iPhone 5 unlocked it will net you even more on selling it.

It's all preference. I go through 2-3 phones a year because I'm an addict ( I usually have 2 phones at a time). I always say if you are waiting for the best phone to be released you'll never by a phone.
As for the warranty that really depends on if he has an extra warranty. I would check the HTC website to see if it's only valid for the original purchaser, at the vary least ask if he can provide proof of purchase in case of a warranty issue.
Not sure if im better off selling my iphone cash for like $500 i think thats what they are worth, and buy a brand new phone that i know the warranty will be on my name or just trading it...
Also i mentioned the New nexus since i think it will come out soon (not sure)
Edit: Yes june 26th
Not sure what the difference would be.. Reading atm

Remember everyone thought the nexus 7 would be announced at I/O..
It might not be a bad idea to sell it for cash and order the dev edition off of HTC or something like that... lucky Americans....
is there a difference between the developer edition and the regular one? I tough u could unlock the boot-loader of the regular one anyways?

As far as I know the price is cheaper. I live in Canada so you may want to check but if I'm not mistaken the dev edition is $575 for a 64GB version while if you buy it from AT&t its $650....
I don't think the S4 Google edition is a true nexus. Though I guess it is I would expect a true nexus this fall from google, and not just an ASOP version of an existing phone. If nothing else a true nexus is available world wide.

[Q] Confused with Samsung galaxy Note N7000

Hi guys,
I am struck with something. Can someone help me in deciding what to do.
I actually want to purchase Note 1 (N7000) but its discontinued by samsung so its not available in the market anywhere but on ebay and some others sites peoples are selling new Note1.
But I doubt that they are either refurbished or first copy of the note.
On asking the seller on ebay, he said that these are new original cell phones which are discontinued in India but are running in Indonesia so they import it from there. He also said that the phone will connect with samsung kies. so I am confused what to do whether i should buy the cell phone or I should go with some other cell phone.
Please help me I am really confused.
Thanks

Yes I agree with you but I want to go with Note 1 only for now. Please suggest if I can rely on that imported version of Note 1
So let's put this into perspective, you want to buy n7000 that's 2.5 years old with no warranty and very likely no future release of firmware update from samsung? I'm guessing the price must be really good that it tempted you to even taking your time asking about it here.
So if you still considering it; Ask if they can provide you with the firmware version.. At least with that you can identify which part of the world was it meant for.
I'll be honest here, you're basically taking a leap of faith.
For me, if I wanted an old phone... I would consider buying it second hand and then go on eBay to get a new housing replacement and a battery just so it looks and feel new.

Note 8 Download Mode

Don't know what to do from here... I've watched videos on going into download mode in the note 8 and no one seems to be having this issue.
Oh man.. Note8 is 7.1.1 btw.
And judging by that huge bottom bezel and MTK testing menu...
You bought a fake Note8..

Don't know what to do from here... I've watched videos on going into download mode in the note 8 and no one seems to be having this issue.

It's fake man
Try get your money back and contact seller.
The first clue should have been the bezels, the second clue note 8 come with 7.1.1, sorry for you
How much did you pay for it ? Craig's list?

Yep, $300. I had an iPhone for a while now and decided to switch back to android. I should've done my research. It says "SM-N930P" on the back of the phone.

A Note 8 selling for $300 didn't ring red flags to you? You won't find anywhere that cheap right now a legit one. If it sounds to good to be true, it probably is.
Craigslist? Oh your screwed on getting money back. There's fishy people on there. Stay away from craigslist.
FB, Offerup, Letgo, ebay, etc way better. Some knock offs can go for a decent amount. See how much your fake one going for. Post online and let people know its fake. Might be able to get a decent amount of your money back. Seller should of told you regardless.
I’ve accepted my loss lol, I was too naive. I figured if anything someone was going to straight up rob me, not sell me a fake phone. I saw a few of them selling between 300-400, they were all probably scams. It sells for like $90. This knockoff can be used on T-Mobiles network? Might just donate it to someone.

Don't trust people ever online that you don't know. There's always wolfs out there. Don't be a sheep. Be smart. I literally put in my mind everybody is a thief. Although I would love for someone to try to rob me with force. I will help them to hell with my glock 45.
Once again stay far away from craigslist. Yeah donate it to women batter shelter. Claim on your taxes.
I can't tell you how many times I've heard bad things about craigslist. Fake money, robbery, broke products, fake stuff, scams, etc. That site full of scum bags. Delete app and never use again use.

Nice 40. Cal. You can't go wrong with glock. Such a great gun. Definitely most reliable semi pistol hands down.
