For anyone who added the black tie protection/insurance plan when they bought their nexus s from US, you can call and request a replacement battery. Also you can say that your battery cover's cracked/missing and they will send you another battery cover as well. all they did was confirm my shipping address and shipped it off the next day.
I just received both of them today in the mail (took 4 days).
Just thought id let any of you black tie members know before yall spend 30 bucks on the battery cover at http://www.globaldirectparts.com/Googel-Nexus-S-Battery-Door-p/smsng6098530.htm (note the minimum order of 2 but i guess you could always end up selling one)
Im not sure if you can get on the black tie protection if you havent already when you purchased the phone. its $10 a month but i might end up cancelling since I already received the replacements and i hear a lot of horror stories about the repair process when you have to send in the phone for repair.
You can cancel the Black Tie Protection? Normally I'd expect a pre-termination fee to be paid should you elect to cancel before the end of the program.

Did you get the battery? I was considering doing this as well, I just hate calling this stuff in. Is there an online form or anything like that?
I've got the Black tie, I had to have this phone insured somehow.
Do they make you send the old ones in? I'd do it just for an extra battery.
Nope they don't make you send it in. Yes I got it already. Took about four days to process and ship. Just tell them you broke your back cover because you dropped it and they'll send it to you. That's the great thing aabout accidental damage warranty.
Does the replacement back have the NFC chip?

yes it does. exactly the same as the normal battery cover.
My back cover got all f'ed up from trying to plasti dip my battery cover... so this is great news for sure!
Is there a certain number you call to get this done? Thanks!
Call the geek squad number you can find it online. Whoever you call they'll probably just end up transferring you to the right number
I figure the BB insurance it worth it. The phone is still quite pricey if you were to damage yours in the next few months.
Mine slid out of my pocket when I was driving an it knicked the corner of the phone.
Thanx for the info OP, i'll be calling this in tomorrow for sure!

You can cancel anytime. There is no "contract" when you sign up for the protection thus you can terminate your monthly charges whenever you want.
if someone have one extra battery cover and wants to sell it, please just PM me.
d000h its out of stock from Global direct parts, does anyone have a spare I can buy from ? Please PM me. Thanks.
Just confirming black tie can be cancelled at any time with no charges for doing so. Surfing the Nexus S forums as I am hoping to get one soon.

is the battery and cover OEM?
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
Since I have legitimate problems with both my battery and back cover, I gave the Geek Squad 800 number a call. The first representative I spoke with sounded like he knew what he was doing. Unfortunately I needed the part number from my battery and was talking on my Nexus S. When I called back I spoke with another representative who seemed a bit incompetent. He said he placed the order for both parts but I would have to call them back in 7-10 days. I asked why I had to call back since the order was already placed. He was unable to give me a clear answer and mumbled something about having a bunch of orders and someone had to review the case. I nicely told him the case was very straightforward...my parts are bad, I'm entitled to new ones. He still gave me the runaround. Oh well. I'm sure I'll get my parts eventually...hopefully sooner rather than later.
Do you know if this can be on sell ?

Greetings everyone,
I have a Kaiser, that I would like to get insured, since I am with Tmobile US, and they do not offer this phone at the moment. Does anyone know any private company who will do insurance on it?
I have contacted Asurion Insurance company and they do not insure cell phones that are not purchased from cell phone carriers such as Tmobile and ATT.
Any suggestions will be helpful.
insurance for a cell phone???
so in case anything goes wrong? isnt that what warrenty is for?
OK smart ass! Warranty doesn't cover theft, loss, or physical damage.
lol i was just wondering...cuz i've never came across it before
I would check with SquareTrade.com. I got a 3 year warranty on my Tilt for $35.99.

What did you put in for a price on your tilt? I did mine for the retail at at&t and the insurance came to $65.99 and it will cost an additional 71.00 for the accidental damage insurance.
Do you know anyone who has made a claim with them? Insurance is great but if you have to jump through hoops to make a claim.
I put the price in as $299 since I have connections and can get a new Tilt for that price if necessary. I haven't made a cell phone claim with them yet, but I just went though getting my laser printer replaced and the process was quite painless.

LOL - I get Insurance free here in the UK on Orange.
Last year I got thro' 4 Trinity's!
The year before I had 7 C600's.
Most insurance replacements we're for faulty keypads granted - but I did drop quite a few in buckets of water/plaster as well. Without insurance I wouldn't have a phone.
Thanks for the squarerade link, Im getting my warranty for 199.99, thats the price i get my Tilt... and also I found this page with coupons!
http://www.retailmenot.com/view/squaretrade.com
got the 40 percent off coupon... total warranty for $14.39 wooo!
mmm wait... I thaught it includes coverage for missing items or something like that... I ll consider the warranty, becaues the price is unbeleivable

Who do you know to get a tilt for 199.99? I'll take two!
From what I understand coverage for loss or negligence ( which is up to interpretation ) is NOT covered!
"If Accidental Damage from Handling (ADH) Protection was purchased, the Service Agreement expands to include damage from liquid spills, item drops, or any other accidental damage. ADH coverage begins 30 days after purchase, and does not cover willful damage, negligent use, theft or loss. A $50 deductible applies on ADH-related claims. ADH is not offered on all items."

Another vote for Squaretrade here. When I picked my Tilt up on ebay I had no qualms about also getting the warranty from squaretrade, I've heard way too much positive things about them.
Excellent, I never knew this existed. I was very disappointed when I couldnt carry over insurance from my old phone.
Yay. I went to site and signed up for insurance. Added the accidental damage and went to that coupon site. Grabbed the 30 percent one since the 40 didnt work. Paid 45 bucks for piece of mind. Thanks man.
I am looking for Insurance not extended warranty. Insurance that will cover, theft, loss and etc. Squaretrade does not cover theft, and loss. It offers extended warranty.
Correct me if I am wrong!
Hey, I bought a policy with state farm for my apache for about $50 a year. Its a personal item policy and not linked with home owners insurance.
Scared about theft, why not try my software? Link at my sig...
Im sure many Kaiser users have my software already.. Any thoughts guys?

For me theft isn't a main concern, just loss or damage. I think the ability to kill the phone with the carrier is enough to deter theft.
Yeah I'm not worried about theft or loss b/c this phone is glued to me. That Ultimate Theft program makes no use if the person has no balls to get his phone back from the said location. I know that personally if someone tried to take my phone they'd have their arms broken in 16 1/2 differnt places and pimp slapped with my foot. I just need this for the occasional drop and stuff.
Does anyone want to take all these for $15 including shipping/handling and delivery confirmation.
I sold my Nexus S and went with iPhone, so I no longer have a need.
(1x) Samsung Battery
(2x) Samsung USB Cables [newer version like Galaxy S II, not old USB that came with Nexus S]
(3x) Black Circle NFC (picture only show two, but I have one more]
(2x) Card NFC
(3x) Sticker NFC (one square, one circle, and one with logo)
PM me if you're interested. Paypal Only. Send me your PayPal address and I can send you an invoice.
Ship next day after the payment has been received.

why would you on the Earth go buy a damn Closed source iPhone product from a company who sues everyone else and still steals everyone's else ideas and not get sued in return?
B/C quite frankly i rather have my old POS Samsung Moment versus the damn iPhone. LoL just curious though.
But not a bad for everything but to be honest i can buy that battery at amazon for 5$ but for everything someone should want it.

Well, everyone has different opinion. Android is great. I have no doubt. I loved it and I still do. It was my first real 'smarty' smartphone after good old Windows Mobile on a tiny screen.
I'm in computer science field and thought this was a chance to try different OS and also learn C## while at it since I got it for free from my friend.
Only downside is that I feel like I've become Google's slave since none of the Google apps work like Android on iPhone and that sucks considering my heavy dependence on those apps to carry on with my life. Sometimes I'd wish, calendar would sync and GMail would pop up notification asap.
But otherwise, iPhone is great too.
And I think those batteries on Amazon are either fake or very heavily used up ones. Customer reviews do tell the truth.
I don't remember how much these NFCs were, but some were close to $2 and some were over $2 a piece. Plus one unused genuine Samsung cable and one used cable as well. And then there is a shipping cost. I'm not making tons of money from this transaction. I think it's a good deal regardless of inclusion of battery or not.

Sorry. If you don't know what NFC does, I think you should just go buy the other accessories you need separately. These cost anywhere between upper $1.50ish to $2 or more a piece if you were to buy it as a new and majority of them are new anyway.. and it's like DVD-RW + doesn't scratch, so you can rewrite them over and over until your phone dies.
Sold.
Thanks for sharing the NFC Chips/Card/Stickers, USB Cables, Battery
Since right now online sales are filled with scalpers overpricing for the first time ever i might just buy the phone in the store outright. I usually purchase them online. Anyway, I have a t mobile account can i just pay and get the phone. Will they try to bundle/change or add stuff onto my plan ?
Anyone have a past experience with other phone purchases ?
I've never had a problem. If there is a better plan they'll let you know. I only preordered this time due to the Samsung promotion.
And by the way... this phone is amazing.

If you go into the store with the seven hundred and change in hand then no. However they still will try and push stuff on you but it's no different then what I did with pre ordering the phone and when it showed up on saturday I just went online and paid it off. It would be different if you didn't have a plan with then I could see them giving you grief over it or some BS about not having any units they can sell at the moment.
I just bought GS5 for my wife in the store, they mentioned if I want insurance, I said no and it was the end of it, but she may have switch me to paperless statement without asking or saying so, my bill is due in 2 weeks so I should see soon enough.

Online I am pretty sure you can't buy phones without a plan. You will have to deal with a human in person or maybe over the phone but more then likely you have to go to a store.

Now, while it still is in pre-order phase, you need to purchase a plan with it, even at full price. Same goes with the stores. You can only purchase 1 phone per existing line or sign-up/add a line for every Note 4 pre-ordered.
This might change after the official release on the 17th , given a few weeks.

I have a plan already. figured it out , to order you have to go to upgrade a line. It lets you pay full price at once. My main concern now is that if anything is wrong with the phone I have to mail it back to them instead of return it in the store and you will be left hanging for a while. Will decided over the next few days what i want to do. Anyone have any experience ordering from them online ?

Yes, that's the way it is. Others fix this by ordering another unit, get charged for the purchase then get credit when the other phone is returned
By the 17th it would be available in stores. I think they will sell you one without adding a line if you show them your return label for the defective phone. Depends whom you deal with. Ymmv.
Stay positive, your phone will be fine.

Does that screen protector really look like that out of the box? I would like something like that because most of the protectors for this phone have a huge cutout at the top for all the sensors. Also are the edges rounded? Mind seem a little sharp. Thanks.
It does look like that

My T-Mobile model is on the way! Before ordering one I spoke to a T-Mobile employee who said all I have to do is call T-Mobile and request unlock codes and I would get them for free. I always thought you had to pay to get them from a carrier.

If you bought it outright. Yes. But it's hard to get there. Best way to do it would be calling and explaining the whole situation your in. They should be able to push the unlock to the app. There's usually a 40 day waiting period you have to wait. But I've heard stories about people doing what your doing and being able to request the unlock. I've also heard they tell people to use it on prepaid for 40 days and then being able to unlock it. Its about a 75/25 chance. Just call untill you get the right people. How did you order the device without an account

I bought it on eBay for a price I couldn't pass on. It's still in the plastic wrapping and everything. If I have any difficulty unlocking it I plan on going back to the T-Mobile store and having the employee who told me they would unlock it for free deal with it.

There's your answer lol
There's a limit per year. I think it's two. Generally I EIP the device and if I like it I'll pay it off. If I don't then I will jump it(I am on the original jump). Sometimes I will just buy outright like I did with the Note 7.
Be careful buying it because it's cheap. That person could do the BOGO get his device unlocked and switch carriers and leave the bill hanging. At that point you are SOL trying to get it unlocked.

I got my t-mobile model in today and have spent about 20 minutes on the phone with customer service trying to get it unlocked. The unlock device app was the first thing I tried and that did not work. I messaged the seller asking for him to contact t-mobile but I'm not expecting much to happen with that.
I'm about to go to the t-mobile store and speak with the employee who told me all I'd have to do is call and submit my imei and then I'd be unlocked. Part of me knew that was too good to be true but I was hopeful. If they can't figure it out in store I'm going to give the cell unlocker site a try.
If none of that works I will be selling it.

I'm about to go to the t-mobile store and speak with the employee who told me all I'd have to do is call and submit my imei and then I'd be unlocked. Part of me knew that was too good to be true but I was hopeful. If they can't figure it out in store I'm going to give the cell unlocker site a try.
If none of that works I will be selling it.

Has happened to me many times with T-Mobile. If you get on phone with the unlocking department just talk their ear off for an hour. Say the same things over and over and dont let them get off the phone. Be polite and just ask over and over and keep saying the same things like a robot, calmly. They will eventually either commit suicide right there on the spot or just unlock it. They have the power to unlock any phone at any time so dont believe their stories.
So I reserved and then I purchased the S10 plus via the email Samsung provided to get the free $50 on accessories. My question is has anyone else gotten the $50? I can't find them on my account.
You blew it.... Like me [emoji24] No seriously, it was there when you checked out. That popup accessories screen during checkout? There was fine print at the top that said $50 would be deducted in your cart once you add an acc over $50. I totally missed it, and in order to claim the credit, you have to cancel and start over, most likely extending out your ship date.

Well I blew it also then, i even added the black leather case (49.99) and it did not deduct anything. I figured it would be a promo code we could use once the order got approved. I'm sure tons of people missed out on this deal.

Try giving Samsung a call. Worst thing that could happen, they can't change anything for you.
when i preordered, i tried to add the 10+ LCD backcover but i CANT place the order, it shows one of the item is out of stock (lcd back cover).
so i preorder with a ebates cashback website, get back 3%. 455$ at 3%, get back 13.65$. better than nothing.
Also, blew right by it! Not a great opportunity! ??
Lol you can call and they will escalate this issue. I just did a moment ago.
If you did the reservation before the launch event you should be getting an email saying pre-order now, using that link from the email if you order and add an accessory (with the order) you will get a full $50 coupon code applied to your order.
Which means if you add a wireless charger for $13, you will get that charger for free as you will be getting a full $50 discount on the whole order.
You will need that email that came after the reservation to get the $50 coupon.
When I ordered mine I did not add any accessories, then I learned about it, and canceled my order and re-ordered it again.
If u wanna re-order, make sure that your link is still working before canceling your order. Mine now says this offer has already been redeemed. But it worked perfectly when I re-ordered the second time.
$50. i use ebates cashback website, get back 3% on 455$ = 13.65$
50-13.65 = 36.35$
now when you preorder, it shows ship by March 15. my original order ship by March 8.
i'm not sure if worth it to wait 1 week to save 36.35$. my impatient is worth more than that. haha

I had the same thing and you are correct. I too first didn't pick accessories as I thought Samsung would somehow send me a separate $50 code or apply it to my account. I canceled my first order, then again went though email link and this time picked a leather case as well. The problem is that the first day preorder started, I could only pick 1 color option for my leather case which was black and I went with it. The next day Samsung probably updated their website with color option button
I think that email link might be valid for 72 hours
I cancelled and reorded. This time was able to get the $50 in accessories along with the Bud's! ??
I would have gladly taken $50 off an accessory instead of the free buds.

Nahhhhhh that sucks :'( I canceled once because I didn't use the email so I purchased again because I thought I was going to get the $50 later but I guess not... I still have the email and it is still valid for me, but everything got pushed really late. Do you think if I give Sammy a call they can push everything to how I had it before?
I blew that as well was it on the screen where you pick the ear buds ? you could do either the earbuds or the accessory

If you reserved and then clicked on the email that Samsung sent, you will get both items.

Just curious, how is it that your S10+ is only $599 instead of the $699 it's supposed to be with your $300 credit?? I'm guessing I don't get $50 in accessories since I didn't get an email?
