In the end I will just be happy to have it period but I really wish it was here. My s3 is driving me batty. For weeks now there has been a short or loose solder in the power button. Countless times a day it will just shut off. The constant powering off then on has drained the battery from 100 to dead in less than 2 hours a few times. Sent from the cosmos

So T Mobile has started shipping the Note 4 pre order sales... Even upgraded shipping and delivery is Monday for a lot of people. What are the chances Best Buy sends out notification early for pick up? Sent from the cosmos

I have confirmed with both local Best Buy stores that as long as the phone is in their trade in system (even with no value) the system will generate the promo gift card. Sent from the cosmos

I was told by the Samsung rep @ Best Buy that if it is on the BB trade in site even for no value that it counts. I bought a prepaid phone as a back up just in case. A guy I work with offered me an old Blackberry but I didn't want to be in a pinch on pick up day. The Samsung rep pointed out the prepaid phone being on sale for $20 so I will just return it if they take the Blackberry. Their site does leave them a lot of room to decline just about anything if they wanted to. Sent from the cosmos

I picked up a ZTE Net 10 phone from Best Buy yesterday for $20 just in case my s3 doesn't make it. Can anyone confirm how to know if a "smartphone" qualifies on the best buy promo? Sent from the cosmos

http://www.androidauthority.com/note-4-screen-gap-532004/ Not exactly what I want to see but if the manual predates the gap discovery it must not be anticipated to be a problem. I wonder how long till apple fans claim the bending is a design feature... Sent from the cosmos

He is using an S5 is there a way to set the band priority and or see the signal for each band? I pre-ordered my Note 4 Friday but have to wait till 10/17... I don't think I can hold out much longer with this S3 and its whacky failing power button.
-
I have no doubt we need the extra back up. I just hope they finish the build out before sending the resources elsewhere. What is the Max speed 1900 is capable of currently? My son has gotten a few 50+ speed tests and I am curious what band they were on. The device is listing band 25 but I am not sure that is even possible.

So we are listed as a spark market but are we part of the refocus or booted back to the end of the line? Sent from the cosmos

I didn't see any issues with the demo units at 2 BB stores here. I guess we should look at it as a heads up. I wonder what the stock level looks like for the pre-orders. I guess if there is a problem with my device I will just not complete the transaction unless they have a satisfactory unit on hand. Sent from the cosmos

Ok, the Samsung rep thought as long as it shows up on the BB trade in program even for no value that it counts. He wasn't sure though because he doesn't work for BB. He did however point out a $20 prepaid device they sell at BB if I can't come up with anything else.

I ordered my Note 4 Friday from Best Buy, can't wait!!! Then after I made my pre-order I was able to work with a sprint store to trade in an Iphone 4 for the promo value of $202.00!! toward my account. My question now is what constitutes a "smart phone" for the BB trade in program? I am worried that my s3 won't pass as it has a rapidly fading power button that randomly shuts the phone off. I am asking around for back ups and not sure how to confirm if a particular phone will cut it come time to pick up the GN4.
-
I just tried online with no success. Apparently the pre-order with trade doesn't allow in store pick up on the website. The online rep I just chatted with specifically stated that the GC is available in store only and not able to be used toward the GN4 purchase. Any one know otherwise. I am hoping he just didn't know because he isn't in the stores when these things launch and is just not familiar with the process.

The carrier aggregation? Any info on rf performance? Similar maybe better than s5? Sent from the cosmos

Any insight on upcoming devices that will take advantage? Sent from the cosmos

Of course it does. Sent from the cosmos

So this spec sheet makes it look like the US version is cat 6. What is the sprint variant model number? According to this report the 910s has the 805 chip and cat 6 modem. http://m.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_note_4-6434.php Sent from the cosmos

It has wireless charging compatible on the specs. Too bad Samsung doesn't just start shipping phones with the wireless charging compatible back already on them. I was hoping to combine the wireless charging with waterproof and never have to deal with the flap but oh well. I have been plugging my smart phone in for the last 8 years guess a couple more won't hurt. Does wireless charging take much longer than normal? Sent from the cosmos

In the past it wasn't tied to a new device. When I first learned of the trade in program I traded in 4 devices and they said then it could even just credit my account. That was 2 years ago though. Sent from the cosmos

Yeah I wonder how the Pre order will go vs. just showing up on release day? Do they ship the same day or should be received by that day? I don't want to wait for it but the extra cash on the trade may just be worth it. Also other than the Monte Blanc pen any word if there will be a Pen style accessory like the note 3 had or if the s pen is the same size if the current one will work? If so I know what I am using some of the rebate on. Hopefully the 50% off an accessory promo is still on then too.

I had been planning to keep my s3 as a back up in case anything happened to one of our phones but with a power button going nuts and a $$ incentive it is as good as gone. Now if we could just speed this launch up a few weeks!
-
I don't know anything about the devices you listed however there is a massive difference in the 1X800 for voice. My service was Un usable in my home for a long time. Voice is now not an issue I even think of anymore. My data on the other hand is not so good on my S3. Judging by the way my son's S5 works I would expect the Note 4 to be just as good. I have been holding out for the note since April so I really hope it isn't a disappointment. Sent from the cosmos

No promises for your situation but my s3 side by side with my son's s5 is just awful. I did a speed test side by side and I pulled 3.5ish my son got a 38! He has run multiple tests in the 40's and even a few in the 50's. All this has been in the Fairfield area. Sent from the cosmos

Has anyone else seen a dramatic improvement in service after upgrading your device? Or had different devices on the same plan that performed remarkably different? And lastly is LTE basically usable or not usable? Does the strength actually affect the performance? I am trying to trouble shoot my own situation any feedback is appreciated. Sent from the cosmos
