New S5 owner, come from iPhone

[mynameis]

Hello everyone, ive had all iPhones-3GS/4/5. Wanted something different, so got the Galaxy S5, and so far really like it, found an app to transfer all my itunes libary to my new phone!!, Downloaded a iPhone ringtone ap, so a ringtone and message tone i like now. Ordered a 32gb Kingston MicroSD card off Best Buys site, said was reg $64.99, on sale for $15.99, so got that on the way, the night i got it, i got an Otterbox Defender case, that's what i had on all my iPhones, and I really like them alot. Really enjoying the phone so far, getting used to all the new stuff.

Here's the best part....

Went into Best Buy for some reason to get the phone where its $199, and to trade in my iPhone 5, so they take the case off, and tell me its in "Poor" condition, and the screen is all scratched up, from dust getting into the case..and say they'll give me $90. I say i think not, and leave, go across the street to Target, where they do the same, and say its in perfect shape, and give me $200+ plus the phone there is $149.99, so i end up with $37.xx left to spend. And the phone didn't cost me anything, haha!!

Congrats on the new phone and welcome to the android community! It is a pleasant place and an enjoyable OS. Well, I'm not a fan of Samsung, but that's my opinion and I'm not going to down it here. You say you're loving it, so that's awesome!

Yeah, Best Buy really tries to screw you over with that buy back thing. I had the same exact problem. They wanted to give me 90 bucks because it was in "poor" condition (it had a little tiny chip at the lower corner that you could barely see) and I said absolutely not. The sprint store said they'd even give me like 150 for it, and at that time I was wanting to get my current moto x. But good thing that you didn't just up and fall for Best Buys tricky ways. I'm sure a lot of people with not as much phone sense or even common sense fall to that.

Anyway, good luck with your new S5!

Congrats, OP.

I love ColdfusTion's channel, he's the one that introduced me to Launchers and Customization.

Which app did you use to transfer your itunes library? I too recently made the switch from iphone to S5. Guy who sold me the phone was all about google play music, but I am having some trouble getting it to work properly. Any and all help much appreciated.

I used Google play music downloaded in my Mac using Chrome browser. Select download music and it will give you the option to move over entire library including playlists, sweet. Works like a charm. If you have a large collection may take a while. Google gives you 20,000 songs.

Congrats on your GS5, now I dont want to get flammed for what I am about to say but i work for best Buy Mobile. We have to be strict with our grading of the phones, because our store can get hit harshly for the condition. That being said I am definatlye the sales consultant to tell people to at least trade it in somewhere else. I am making that switch soon myself, maybe not to a GS5 but iOS to Android, and i will welcome the change. This has turned out to be a useful thread for apps thanks guys.
