    Samsung rebate period

    Where do you see the one where it's ok to have two receipts? I just got denied for a second time for dates that weren't acceptable even though I preordered within the time frame listed on the website. I'm thinking since I have two receipts (one for preorder and one for trade-in) maybe that is...

    Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Samsung $200 rebate not approved

    Just got an e-mail stating that my $200 rebate wasn't approved because "[y]our purchase date wasn't in the timeframe or the date wasn't present in the upload". I pre-ordered and traded in through Amazon so I didn't have an official receipt. I just printed out both confirmation emails and took a...

    Note 4 Textra dock icon not showing number of unread texts

    Does anyone know how to get the Textra dock icon to display an unread text message counter? I am running Nova Prime and the feature seems to have disappeared. I could have sworn it was working correctly with TouchWiz.

    Note 4 Scroll Lag & what messenger app do you use?

    Re: Scroll Lag & what messenger app do you use? +1 on Textra. I had the exact same issue after I uploaded my old phone's backed up texts. Stock messaging became super slow and I had to force quit half the time I opened it. I tried Textra and couldn't be happier, perfectly smooth.

    Note 4 GSM Arena Review is up!

    Samsung Galaxy Note 4 review: Four of a kind - GSMArena.com Much more substantial than Phone Arena's review. All around looks excellent! Happy to see such good marks for battery life and camera, in my opinion the Note 4 is shaping up to be a near flawless smartphone. I preordered through...

    Note 4 Preordering with Amazon

    I'm currently a Sprint customer but my 2-year contract expired this past June. I want to preorder the Note 4 and set up an AT&T plan through Amazon. If I preorder now (which requires setting up the plan) will my Sprint service be affected before the phone arrives and I activate it? Has someone...

    Note 4 - Samsung $200 trade in promotion

    Re: Note 4 samsung $200 trade in promotion I chatted with an Amazon rep last night and she said Amazon wasn't participating in this promotion. Does anyone have confirmation that it will work if ordering through Amazon? That was my original plan but of course the rep knew nothing about it...

    Note 4 - Samsung $200 trade in promotion

    Re: Note 4 samsung $200 trade in promotion Thanks for the reply. My HTC EVO 4G LTE is worth exactly $10 to AT&T. Is it even possible to pre-order considering I'm on Sprint and want to pre-order for AT&T? It seems I'd have to set up my new line of service at AT&T today to complete the pre-order...

    Note 4 - Samsung $200 trade in promotion

    Re: Note 4 samsung $200 trade in promotion Can someone tell me if this offer applies to plan discounted phones? I will be opening a new line of service with AT&T for the Note 4 (2yr agreement has ended with Sprint and I want to move from them) does the $200 discount apply to the $299...

    4.3 RUU download link for the HTC Evo 4G LTE

    I'm due for an upgrade already but am waiting to see what the M8 has to offer. Not a fan of the plastic S5 build so hoping to stick with HTC. Also, I've read the Sony Xperia Z2 will be out by May and that is one impressive sounding phone spec-wise.

    Photo album widget not refreshing after 4.3 update

    Really loving the 4.3 update so far but I've come across one minor annoyance. I used to keep the 4X4 photo album widget as one of my phone's screens and the topmost picture would refresh instantly as a new photo was taken. This is no longer the case with my phone now. Whichever photo is "on top"...

    4G in New Haven, CT

    Getting some great 4G speeds in New Haven over the last week+. Hitting speeds of almost 9 Mbps download and 6.5 Mbps upload according to the Speedtest app. I'm mostly a WiFi guy but it's cool to see the 4G status at the top of my phone when I need it!

    Boot Loop Noooo! :'(

    I had the same boot issue as well a few days after downloading the ring tone fix update. Had to do a factory reset which was really annoying. On the plus side I started with a clean slate but I don't think this should be happening to people who aren't rooted and have never even tried it. Doesn't...
