Howdy from the not so new guy - Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General

I have went without a phone in favor of the Note 8 and 10.1 tablets the last year but came back home.
Owned Note and Note 2 and I can say this 3 is damn near perfect. A birthday gift from the wife.
Was gonna get the 4 but there is not enough there to warrant the extra cash for me anyway.
If not mentioned before , get the app My stylus Beta. Trust me, you will fall more in love with this phone than ever . It is that good an app.
Anyway, good to be back and I will see you peoples around.
Oh, and if you have any questions I will do my best to help no matter what. I have screwed with phones since my Hero rooting days.

Good Bye and THANK YOU!

Well all... I have not been a active participant in this forum for a few months now but today it is official. Verizon is sending me a Inc2 to replace my Eris, as I have had 6 previous Eris' sent to me for a list of issues. I have rooted, unrooted, and modded my Eris' as much as I could over the past 16 months. I wanted to thank all of you who helped me out in the beginning and those of you I responded to, I hope I helped. Thank you all for the fun and sorry I do not have the phone to donate to keep development going on this great little phone (Verizon wants it back for warr replacement stock).
And to those of you who get your upgrade soon and move on to the Inc2, look me up cause by then I am sure I will be rooted and running lean with sense 3.0!!!!
i too plan on getting a incredible 2, as long as they are cheap come sept. I like the phone a lot and development is really kicking in now that s-off has been released.
I may not be too far behind.
The phone is very nice and the community is growing with a ton of Facinate user switching due to the missed call issue. The only thing right now is that the ginger update is not rootable yet and that is holding back a good chunk of us users at the moment.

I have three weeks to wait. I am looking at the Inc2, but may see what deals they have at that time. My wife has an Inc2 and it seems like a good phone, but she will not let me root it for her. I say my Eris will live on as a Mp3 player & games for my daughter.

If you don't mind, could you briefly say what types of issues you've had with the eris, which led them to replace it for you? I have my original eris from dec '09 and wouldn't mind getting a free upgrade to a Inc2... there may be a donation in your future..
thanks
dang......i had to change accounts and they gave a stupid motorola citrus and ive gone through 5 of em in 3 weeks and they still wont upgrade me to something decent....come next month im hopin for an LG Revolution or TB...but good luck on the Inc2, my mom had the original inc and it was a pretty darn cool phone, so the 2 should be pretty awesome
Oh wow what did not happen to my Eris. I had warranty replacements for:
2 x trackball issue
1 x would lock up if an SD card was mounted to Android
1 x a replacement phone would not vibrate out of the box
And I think there were others too.
I pay monthly for the insurance and extended warranty. With this last replacement I told them that I was completely dissatisfied with the quality of replacement phones in the past 6 months (think I was at 3 replacement phones in six months) and that if they could help me out with the Eris. I was first offered an early upgrade but after telling them I was holding out for the bionic/or a 4G phone with better battery life, they offered me the inc2. Hope this helps you.

Should I get the Note now or wait?

Hey Guys! I'm currently using an iPhone 4 and I am eligible for an upgrade with AT&T immediately. I am basically dead-set on getting the Samsung Note. It looks amazing and I'm a big fan of the huge screen (ex dell streak user!).
My question is: should I go ahead and do the upgrade now or wait for the price to drop? If I were to upgrade now it would cost me ~$300 not including taxes, etc. That price seems high to me. I know it's a great phone and everything but the prices are bound to drop, just like every other great phone before the note.
Let me know what you guys think! Thanks!
You could try to get it for $150 through Best Buy by following the trick in that other thread.
Specifically, follow this link:
http://www.att.com/shop/wireless/deals/linkshare-savings.jsp?partner=LinkShare&siteId=dZCX6Je2w8Q-sBG3oO9zQ5oOdYyuLQ44IA
Then select "New to ATT", add the note to your cart, add any plan and data plan, then go to check out. A $150 discount should be shown in the cart. Print out the cart, then go to Best Buy and say you would rather buy the phone in store and bring your business to them, and have them try to price match. It's worth a shot, though it may not work.

I will tell you my story. 4 months ago I had an upgrade available and bought the GS2. Loved the phone but my wife's phone died so I returned it and got her an iPhone. At the time I was thinking I would just buy the S2 cheaper in 4 months. Fast forward, the S2 is half the price yet I am going to spend more to get the note.
Moral of the story, get what you want now because something better will be out later.
Exactly get your device and enjoy it now. There will always be something new around the corner in android land.
I agree, get what you want now. If you wait till the price drops then another phone will be announced that you will end up wanting. Especially since MWC is happening this week.

I couldn't agree more, get what you want now. In my opinion this is the best phone I've ever owned.
If you're not signing on as a new customer...or not adding a line to an account...it's better to wait for the Note to drop further in price. Amazon currently sells it for $250 for all customers....which is still a rip-off considering there's no ICS yet for Note.
But I can understand if you currently only have 1 phone that is 'hanging by a thread'...then might as will make the purchase now.

I loved my Samsung Captivate, but the Note is my new love affair.
Whirling around fine on stock right now, but keeping my eyes on the dev threads.
Seeing all of these posts today around HTC and the new One X coming to AT&T had me bumming a little with the mad specs, but then I remembered I have a 5.3 inch HD screen.

Returned the note, went back to SII, thinking about coming back

There is something wrong with me.
I returned my galaxy note due to the fact that it wasn't as snappy as an S2 and i missed the huge selection of roms... and while I'm happy with the S2 overall (again).. i have found that nearly a month of using the note has shifted my priorities.
I now find myself missing the big screen size more than I thought I would.
Here's my dilemma.
I kind of want the note back. But I've done 2 reverse upgrades already (i'm indecisive as ****)
I got this S2 from walmart because the ATT store here didn't have the original S2 (lte market)
Will walmart let me do a reverse upgrade do you think?
and then would ATT still let me upgrade again?
Would you go back to the note if you were me?
I'm stupid. Feel free to make fun of me.
Call walmart and ask. Then call ATT. There is nothing we can do here.

Was really hoping for some opinions.
We all had the lag when it came out, but I'm oh SAUROM, overclocked etc and the Note is SUPER smooth! Not kidding, we're talking butter here...
Literally, ZERO LAG!
There are some seriously slick themes being made, too. Couldn't be happier!
No idea if you will be able to finagle any more upgrades, but if not, you can borrow my S pen to stab yourself in the heart!

I have a rusty butter knife. I'm not worthy of the s-pen stab.
Could have told you that lol. Anyone who was considering going back to a S2 after having a Note is Crazy!
Is there a tiny tiny bit of lag once and a while, sure but nothing I'd give the phone up for. I'm on the stock ROM btw. People get to crazy with the "lag" theory. Mines fast as hell, I just clear the RAM once and a while no probs.

Yeah, I'm realizing now that I would trade this smaller screen and zero lag for the bigger beautiful display and slight lag every once in a while.
The rom thing isn't as big to me as I thought it was.
I really hope I can reverse again.

you can.
i'd say get it from best buy if you have one near you. i'm biased (i work there selling phones) but i think it has great value.
typically you get someone who is more knowledgable (it varies, not everyone is a phone nerd)
you have the option to get a really good protection plan (no deductible, unlimited claims, water damage coverage, loaner phone, etc.)
and the option to get the buy back which will give you guaranteed $$ back when you trade in your phone w/in 2 years based on retail (its $60 normally, but if you have the protection plan for at least 1mo you get it half off, for $30. minimum you would get back is around your upgrade @ 20% of the RETAIL value which is $799.99)

Yeah, my girl owns the note. Since hers is the name on the account, she got the upgrade/re-up price. I was 3,000 miles away when she got em, so she's had hers a week more than I've had mine.
I admit I turned her onto the Note... I just couldn't stop blabbering about it compared to our Streaks. But she found the Streak not too long after it showed up at Best Buy, and after I went and abused one in the store, I gave the OK to go with the 5-inch candybar. We've had matching phones now for just over 2 years and she'll never be able to go to a smaller phone again.
It's a hoot at dinner parties when one of us takes out the phone (as it has been for a while) and someone, inevitably, comments; "My god, what is that? Is that a phone or a tablet?" Whichever of us had taken it out replies; "Yes, its both (Streak and Note... same difference for most people)" Then the person comes back with, "Wow, I've never seen anything like that before. That's almost too big, how can you use that? I doubt anyone could carry something that big. How do you carry it, does it even fit in your pocket?...." Then the other one of us will take out the other one. All conversation at the table stops. The inevitable iPhone comparison ensues.... 4 iPhones = (not really, but in screen real estate, close enough) 2 Notes. Pictures taken (if there are any phones left after the comparison laying of small useless phones on the big ones), jokes made... on both sides.... lol. "Wow that's so big" Me: "that's what she said" Her: "Why do you think I keep him around?" Them: "Are you compensating for something?" Me "What, both of us?" Them: "I'm not sure I could use something that size" Her: "Oh, I thought so too at first, but after a week or so I was used to it, and I could never have something smaller." Yeah, they are great icebreakers too... at anything from dinner parties to business meetings.

1. Your upgrade can't be denied to you unless your bill is past due other than that your titled to it.
2. Go to Amazon they have a 30 DAY return policy and its 250 with free car charger and I believe target has it to.
3. Your just missing out

LoL @ over2land's story.
It is a conversation starter though - I've pulled it out standing in the back of an elevator with three people, and the guy standing in front actually came and stood next to me. Three guys shoulder to shoulder on the back wall of the elevator was pretty awkward.
The only other time I've ever had anyone stop me to ask about my phone was when I had the first generation iPhone [when it was still around $400 and not ubiquitous].
In the past three weeks of having the Note, I've been asked about it more times than ever with the iPhone.
This is why some people shouldn't have choices. Apple makes it easy for you... one new phone a year. No choices, no second guessing. And I can see why some people are happier with Apple for this very reason. But if you are going to be an Android user, you need to grow up a bit, make an informed decision, and be happy with it.
Then come to XDA and push that device as far as it can possibly go

Leaving the Rezound

hey all,
Its actually a sad day for me. My rezound finally totally kicked the bucket and i no long have a deving device. So after some thought, i desided that I will no longer be doing deveolopment for the Rezound. Its been a fun ride while it lasted, but with family, work, and other things going on, my time has been spread very thin. I hope you all continue to enjoy the rezzy and i hope ill run into some of the rezound community on another part of the forums.
If anyone is wondering, I went with the LG G2 and if i ever find some time again to dev, it will be for that device
Thanks everyone for your support, and contributions that made developing the rezound so much fun. Also thanks to all the other dev that help me get started with ROM development
It's sad to see you go. I loved your ROMs very much and I hope you provide your awesome skills to the G2 community. You did very well here and you deserve to rest; Many thanks for everything!

After 2 years I retired my Rezound and purchased a Galaxy S4. I was also able to keep my unlimited data which the possible loss of made me keep the Rezound longer than I wanted to. I started to wait for the Galaxy S5 but I got such a good deal on the S4, which was free at BB after 50.00 gift card I took advantage. The few upgrades in the S5 were not worth spending a couple hundred dollars more.

Every phone should have buttons on the back... Why manufacturers didn't implement this before is beyond me, once you have it a while you will see how natural it feels to have them there. Plus with knock on/off you only use volume buttons, I rarely ever even touch the power button.

Hey, its takes a little getting use to, but overall i love it. I notice for the most part i dont use the buttons on the back. It has the knock on and knock off feature which is implemented really nice. so 95% if the time i use that. The only time i really use the buttons, is when i need to adjust the volumes. Other then that, the phone has been rock solid, fast, great battery life. My only complaint is the speakers are not the best and not super loud, the rezzy smokes it any day, but overall, the best phone ive had in a long time, including the rezzy.

You know, i was real disappointed when the finally released the specs on the s5. Made some small improvement, but not enough to justify the wait or the extra money. Personally I tell people to go with the s4 unless the s5 has a feature that the must have.

What device did you get again? Not sure what I'll be doing. We may jump ship. I can't afford VZW anymore. We have 4 lines on the old 1400 minute plan each of us with $30 data and we're up to nearly $300/month. If we switch to Share Everything, it would be even more. But if we don't, trying to decide between the G2 and the One Max. Why are we such slaves to technology?

My personal phone is a Nexus 4 on Aio Wireless, works great and I save a ton of money every month. If I had to get a phone today it would be the Moto G, my son has one and the battery life is ridiculous, 7 hours screen on time for web browsing and basic use and it out performs the Rezound in all aspects except camera.

Looks like the Moto G is 3G only. I'm considering the Nexus 5 if we go to T-Mobile. Also considering AIO as well. If we can't finance our phones with T-Mobile, then there no reason not to go with an MVNO, right?

So I bought 3 note 7s new from ebay(never-msrp) because I wanted the FD model. 1 for myself and 2 as gifts. I initially wanted to return them to the ebay seller but 30ish emails later and a closed return case, he basically told me to go f myself. So then I decided I would go through samsung and I went ahead and started to return them to the recall but I started with only one. I got the box for the phone I called about, packaged it neatly and properly and sent it in. About a month's time had passed and I had heard nothing from them so I called in and a few phonecalls and emails later, they told me they never got the phone and that they didn't even send me a recall box. Basically now samsung told me to go f myself. Unlucky for them I had kept my UPS dropoff receipt and sent in a copy of that showing the phone was delivered to them. This got my ticket bumped and has been pending for maybe 2 or 3 months so far and I call every few weeks to get an update and always get the same thing: "It is currently pending but should be ready soon. Give it a few more days." Has anyone else had an experience like that or am I the only one not getting my money back? What do you guys recommend I do from this point? I don't want to send in the other 2 phones so I don't get screwed on those as well until(if) I get my money back for this one.
Does not give me much confidence returning mine

Have you tried contacting them via social media? (Twitter, Facebook, etc.,) I've found when a company isn't very responsive you can get their attention by calling them out on social media. I'd start with Twitter, if you haven't already. ?
Proud owner of the Samsung Galaxy Note 7. ? Take that Samsung ???.

Proud owner of a device that won't ever get updates again. I have no idea how You guys can live without new custom roms or updates. Look how many roms S7 Edge has. Nougat, Fully working AOSP, FlymeOS, PrismOS, HRS, MIUI coming soon. Just let go and enjoy all those beautiful roms.
It looks like You think that if You will keep Your Note 7, You will make Samsung mad. They don't care about it. It's just You losing so much fun by not getting a free replacement.

I'm not even going to bother arguing with you because it's pointless but FYI my device isn't rooted because I actually enjoy Samsung Pay and like the rewards. Not everyone roots their phones.
