Walked into best buy yesterday to buy a new washer and dryer. After that was all said and done I walked over to the mobile section wanting to get a look at the new Galaxy Note. Well 30 minutes later I walked out with a new ATT contract and a Note.
I still am under contract with sprint for another month but the reception in my area was just slowly getting worse and worse. AT&T has great coverage here so I figured I would give them a try. The only thing I will miss with sprint is unlimited data. But I rarely ever used more then 2gigs anyways.
The note on the other hand is a pretty awesome device, for a heavy texter it's a dream. And the screen is freaking beautiful. Battery life is amazing as well. Been unplugged for 12 hours and still 30%.
But when compared to the Photon it does feel inferior. As many of you probably agree, the Photon is a amazingly built device, inside and out. The note does feel like a step down, so I'mnot sure if I will stay with the note but I will be sticking with AT&T.
Anybody interested in buying a Photon?!

Yes it actually fits pretty good. The only time it feels overly huge is when texting with one hand

What Brand Washer and Dryer did you get?
Kidding, whats up whit the note as I'm waiting on Sprint?
You should have held out for the Samsung WS457 (washer) and DV457 (dryer) that are coming out this spring! Control my washer and dryer with my android phone ... count me in.

This blows! Cool to play with washer, but what happens when load is done? Do you send IP to wife/girlfriend to put in dryer?

Let's take lazy to the next level, I'd set up a tasker profile which would automagically send a text to my GF when the app alerts me the washer or dryer is done.
Washer/dryer tells phone it's done > phone uses tasker to send text to GF > clothes magically appear in closet.
Winning lol

If Customer Serivce transferrs you to 2nd level support and you get a 717-XXX-XXXX number, tell my ex-wife hello!
I have never had anyone like AT&T nickle-&-dime me to death like they do. Surprised how they held lock on iDouche toy so long. $79.00 for 1400 minutes. $19.99 for unlimited text. $29.99 for Data. $2.99 cause Im Afro-American. $1.99 cause I'm not white. $0.99 cause I'm not Mexican. $1.99 cause I'm not female. $2.99 cause I did not use condom. $19.99 cause I post on XDA! $2.99 cause I'm not gay! $2.99 cause I might be. $2.99 cause I'm lying! $2.99 to the Republican National Party although I'm a Dem!. $2.99 to the DNP to fight the RNP. $2.99 to North Korea so they dont have Nukes! $5.99 so Solomani Pirates. $1.99 to City Council.
Then they had the nerve to tax me on the call I made from the strip club? Come on, if I'm at the strip club, who the he** could I possibily be calling? My girl? I seriously doubt that! My boy? why would I let him in on my action? My mother? really? AT&T sucks!
Haha . I did buy Samsung washer and dryer but not that fancy.
Yes I've heard stories from both sides about how bad and how good they are. Just like any cell provider.
I really liked sprint but it seems like my reception was just getting worse around where I.work and live, with my job I am on call all day so if I can't get calls then I can't make money so that really made me want to switch. But I liked everything else about them.
Thanks for the heads up on the bill. I will watch it.
My wife is.probably gonna stay with sprint but not sure yet, if she does I might just for her my photon if she wants it, and wait for some thing else to come out for sprint before using her upgrade.
She still using a EVO.

Personally, I never had a problem with AT&T Service. Likely the best I ever had but in 3 years I had exactly ONE correct bill. I had to spend one hour each month argueing on the phone with them and they always would offer me a free iPhone!
Sprint, so far, has been good to me.

Sorry about not replying to the sale posts, I meant that more as a joke right now..
Still under contract with sprint until the end of next month so I can't sale the phone quite yet. And if my wife wants to save her upgrade for.something else later she will take the photon.
It's only 3 months old, bought it off craigslist bnib. It's had a invisishield since the first day, and an otter box a few days after. I found the otterbox was giving it scuff marks on the top so I took it off and literally a day after while I was doing a oil change on my truck I went to pull it out if my pocket and dropped it. So.I has 2 tiny chips and 2 corners. Not bad though since the.phone is all dark..
You guys will have second dibs if the wife decides to upgrade. I'll let you know.

So I just got my awesome new galaxy note I have had it for about a week.. So my neice gets ahold of it while im not around and decided to tear off the "black sticker" aka wi-fi bluetooth antennae completely off... I have att's mobile insurance but I just noticed the Deductible is 199 dollars.. and that is just ridiculous tbh. So I am wondering If anyone has any suggestions what to do from here. Goto the att store and beg for mercy? i've have been with them for over a decade maybe I can walk out with a new Note? or do I have to be sketchy and send my note to gazelle get 211 file a claim saying the device was stolen pay att with the gazelle cash lmao..

The one on the left of the camera/sim card right of the power button on the back panel it was a black sticker
This sucks I mean Is there anyplace I could just buy the sticker take the phone apart and put a new one in im sure it would be cheaper that 199$ =[ TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY TOO lol.
Did you take the back panel off? The stickers are usually warranty related so it may be a hard fight. Maybe just send it to a repair service? Might be cheaper then the deductible.

No I never took apart the phone just the battery cover then 5 year old tore it off lol.
If you're talking about the antenna that is fixed to the back cover, just buy a new back cover from Samsung, they are only $10.00 plus shipping and come with the antenna attached.
I bought a blue back cover to put on my white phone, however it didn't look as good as I thought it would.
^^^ +1, that is the NFC antenna, which you likely don't even use. But if you want to replace it, $9.99:

No If i could post a diagram I would but i cant unitll ten posts It is the sticker on the back of the phone not the cover right next to the power button. It is my antennae for sure I just cant find any where to buy it seems I will just roll with a wifi and bluetoothless note =[ happy birthday me.

I see where you mean now, but still don't see how that was accessible with just the cover being off without a screwdriver. And not sure what you mean by "sticker". Either way, 5 year olds are damn destructive.
The area is covered by a semi hard black plastic sticker. Still how a 5 yr old got their finger under there...wow

Yup I was swapping out my sim cards and I got pulled away from my desk I came back to her with it I guess she was trying to help me...
It seems I am screwed, unless there is somewhere that sells this peice or I could try my gazzelle idea maybe they wont notice it missing X-D because this pretty much sucks I mean 4g is fast but idk. if anyone has any suggestions. Man AT&T is retarded I want to cancel the insurance but it is sort of usefull if it breaks it wont be 500+ to get a new phone but still 199 =[
ouch........sorry to hear that.......g
Take your neice with you to an att corporate store. Hopefully between a cute 5 year old in your arms and your length of service through att you can get the store manager to sympathise with you.
Its important to go to a corporate location. Corporate store managers seem to be more willing to work with you than a normal store manager. Perhaps they can't or won't be repremanded as much? That's what I've noticed in my area though.

This is true for me too. Once I had a brainfart and forgot to turn off my phone when I crossed the border and in four hours I racked up a $349 international data bill. I went to a corporate store to discuss it, and the manager wrote all of it off. I have been at&t since 1980.
Okay. Stick sticker back on phone call Samsung and tell them someTHINGS things not right. DO NOT MENTION THE FIVE YEARLD TEARING OFF ANTENA. Go through the motions of restoring the device. When nothing works they will pay for Shipping and have it back in a week.... FREE.
Year free warranty manufacture defect. Go through Samsung.

They're that good. The phone is impressive by itself, but the combination of a dock that auto-enables the phone into car mode, and the quality of car mode on the phone is unparalleled.
Don't let them hose you out of the experience.

i'm on the phone with them right now. i tried to order online and they said i had to go into manual review. so when my order finished they didnt include it.
so now i chewed them out for it. then the lady sends me out a universial card dock. so i'm calling back AGAIN to make sure its the HTC dock and not some ****ty as universal one.... gawd this is annoying. hopefully once service is up and running i wont have any problems.
Both my HTC Ones came with the car dock.

You can buy it on ebay for about $50.
I agree the Car-Mode is the best software HTC put in to this phone. I wish the main Phone app worked like the one in the Car-Mode, then I wouldn't have to use ExDialer (an enhanced clone of the dialer in Sense 1.0... and the one in Car-Mode is a limited version of that same thing).

I called customer service and explained that I pre-ordered and I had problems with the website. Well they said they didn't have any in stock, so the lady I spoke with said she made a note on my account so I could get one. Well I just got the phone on Tuesday of this week, and just today went to a retail T-Mobile store. The store didn't have any of the docks so should I call CS back and ask again?
Edit (5-6-13): I went through 12 customer service reps this morning from 8:30AM to 11:10AM before finally resolving the issue... sort of.. after getting transferred, not called back when was told i would be, disconnected, and hung up on... longest time ive ever been on the phone with CS. The last rep I spoke with gave me a $70 credit to my account and she explained she saw the one on amazon.com so she gave me the $70 for the trouble even though she had seen some for cheaper. I ordered it directly from HTC. what a godamn hassle. Next to dust off and reset my blackberry curve 8900 to send back to htc for the $100 visa gift card XD

I never used to have any insurance before we had our son , but now that my son is 2 years old i always go for an insurance, since i love to keep my phone naked and squaretrade is my #1 choice .
My son broke my ipad 4 screen within 5 days they got it fixed for no charge ( since ipad insurance had 0 deductible ) . i got squaretrade for the HTC One they are 125$ for 2 years with 99$ deductible way cheaper than AT&T and the best part is if they cant fix the phone for whatever reason they pay you 700$ and you can buy whatever phone is latest at the point and still save some money.
there are 30% squaretrade coupons floating around all the time , in fact i posted 3 coupons yesterday on there check it out
with 30% (30$ max) off it comes down to 95 + tax

My experience with squaretrade is not so great. I had insurance on my original moto droid. one day it stopped working so i initiated a claim with squaretrade. they say they will fix it or pay you...by fix it they mean they will send you a refurb. after waiting a week or two, they sent me a moto droid (not mine) that was functional but beat up (mine was not). when i called to complain, they insisted that it was my same phone and they had fixed it. they agreed to exchange it and i got another refurb in slightly better condition.
in the end, i got a working phone, i just wish they were more upfront about sending refurbished items.

I don't have any case or protector on my HTC one at all, and I just notice it there is a scratch on the camera lens. Not sure if it affect the image quality, but the camera lens seem so fragile on the One, so it may be a good idea after all.
i cancelled my AT&T insurance and went with ensquared. its $99.99 upfront for 2 years of coverage and a $75 deductible. it covers pretty much everything:
General Product Coverage Components
Accidental Damage Yes
Liquid Spill Yes
Power Surge Yes
Theft Yes
Lost Device Yes
Flood Yes
Vandalism Yes
Fire Yes
Misuse and Abuse No
Loss of Data No
Extended Warranty Coverage Yes
Standard Battery Yes

That's how it is with every insurance claim even the one AT&T uses. Sometimes you get a refurbished item sometimes you get a new one its all luck of the draw.
I personally decided to go with SquareTrade because for $95 for 2 years I thought it was a good deal and the deductible is only $100. Also SquareTrade is fully transferable and that will increase my resale value if I ever decide to sell the phone.

After 2 months of taking great care of my "naked" G2, it fell 3 feet off my nightstand onto the wood floor and shattered. The bottom part of the screen doesn't appear to work, which means I can't even enter my unlock code (swipe). I've submitted for a replacement with Asurion, but apparently they're on backorder and don't know when they will have any in stock...
I was under the impression they replace phones with new ones if they don't have refurb's in stock. I guess not anymore...
Anyone else replace their G2 with Asurion?

They should replace it with a new 1 if they don't have it in stock.
Try calling them again and see if you can get help from someone else.

Thanks for the tip - just called back. Apparently they have nothing in stock, are awaiting new G2's, and will notify me when they have a new one.
Although the same guy said that they don't give out refurbished phones, just new ones, so I don't know what to believe....

If they have a reconditioned device they will send those.
If they don't have reconditioned then they will send new 1's.
Unless they are out of stock completely. Which you will then have to wait until they have 1 or the other.

You could probably get them to give you a different device also. I believe they are obligated to provide a replacement device within 72 hours. I will look into where I read that before.

You could probably get a note 3 out of them.

Yes. If they don't have any reconditioned or new then they can send you a comparable model.

This is how I got my G2. Bought it on craigslist from some guy who broke the screen for $100. $99 deductible with Asurion and they sent me a brand spaking new G2 for $200 total (kept my verizon unlimited plan). I just sent the old broken one in, so maybe you'll be in luck
Hooray for insurance fraud! Oh wait.....

Okay I was going to start a thread about this a few days ago but I didnt get around to it. My screen broke last week from a short fall and I went to verizon because my fiance was upgrading. Anyway, there were 2 people there at the counter who where complaining about this because they had filed a claim on their broken G2 screen and both of them told me they were gonna be on back order till around January or February....yeah im just as frustrated and the only replacements they might send is a Droid Max or MotoX. So the best solution Verizon is doing for this right now is sending in an order for a temp flip phone for our broken device till the devices can be replaced...but youll still be charged $20 a month for being a smartphone plan even though you currently dont have one. This sucks...
Edit: Here use this, download it from your computer and install it to your phone remotely so you can rotate your screen around if your having problems with half your screen like me. It might hold you over for a month or so longer.

C. Replacement equipment may, at our option, be refurbished equipment or different equipment of like kind and quality.
Just remember the squeaky wheel gets the grease. cause a ruckus with both the insurance company and the carriers, their is no reason for the back order and demand a phone with the same specs or better.
curious as to why your going through asurion when its a year warranty on the phone

I dropped mine on the freeway, i forgot it on top of my car and drove off lol. My screen cracked and it will not register my fingers to unlock also.I sent it into LG for repairs, it was 142 total. Plus my 10 dollar to ship it to LG facilities in texas. I'm getting it back by Saturday, says Fedex. I shipped it to them and they received it on November 22nd.. so about two weeks turn around.
I broke mine and called them. They told me to buy one and I'd get a reimburse check minus the deductible in a few weeks.

So after speaking to Asurion yesterday and being told they have no idea when there will be more G2's in, I got an email from them last night that they have my phone ready to ship. Their web site was screwed up and not letting me continue, so I called and gave them the address and credit card info. The phone is out for delivery today....Damn.
@ Walter21026: Thanks for the tip. Tried installing from Google Play's website, not sure if it installed or not. Still shows lockscreen. Truth is, most of the touchscreen now seems to be useless. Thanks anyways.
@ antawnm26: I dropped the phone and cracked the screen. AFAIK, warranty is if something is defective, not if I am at fault for the screen being shattered.

Great questions!
We'd love to clear up the confusion for you. Our goal is to get you reconnected as quickly as possible by providing a like-for-like replacement. We do use both new and remanufactured phones in order to provide this service. Rest assured, all of our remanufactured phones use 100% OEM parts and come with a 12-month limited warranty. Your device will be replaced at no charge if it has a warranty failure during that time period. While we do operate from a separate set of inventory from your local store; like them, our inventory constantly changes. In the event your device is unavailable at the time of your claim, we will discuss the options available to you at that time.
We understand you have already been in contact with us regarding your claim. We welcome you to track the status of your claim at www.phoneclaim.com. We are also more than happy to assist you via email at [email protected].
We are here to help if you need us!
Thanks!

The white LG G2 on verizon seems to be still back ordered, with no ETA. Local verizon stores said they are out of stock as well. Not sure when they are coming back.
