I can get my upgrade for a new sgs2 for 199$ or get a refurbished one for a penny. I would like a brand new one but would like to save the money too? What would you do? How long would you think til it goes down in price? I need opinions please.

I would avoid refurbished. It will be 199 till the new flagship phone is launched. Probably another Samsung device.

Look around at other retailers, radio shack, best buy,newegg,etc. They can seta let price than att.
Would I still have a warranty? I saw target has it for 99.

Well, def have Samsung warranty. I would think the initial 90 warranty would be from the retailer where you bought it. I think. Call them up and see. What's the worst that happens, you pay $199?
I generally have a lot of faith in factory refurbished products. Generally, they have been used minimally. They were returned due to a defect, or simply because someone wanted something else.
Typically, they will be completed tested by the factory. If there are any defects that caused the return, they will be addressed . I generally look for refurbished and have always had extremely good luck in doing so. My current Captivate is refurbished. I bought it for $18.00. It is the greatest phone I have ever owned and the warranty is intact as if you bought a brand new phone.
Refurbished all the way!
I'd like to think refurbished would be like new but I too have a refurbished captivate after bricking my new old one. Everything runs fine but the usb door doesn't stay closed & is loose and the vibration doesn't feel/sound right like my girlfriend's new one. This is why I'm asking, just trying to weigh out my decision. I'm almost content enough to keep my cappy for a while but I'd really like to see how much better it is & why waste a perfectly good upgrade.

From my experience buying new or factory refurbished is a lottery. You can get a brand new one and have issues on it as well as a refurbished and have a issues. But I can't say refurbished = more chance for issues. But thats just my 2 cents. I've had 2 captivates (new and refurb) and had no issues what so ever (except new had the sleep death).
I have a refurbished Cappy from ATT that has 0 issues (knock on wood). Got it for $10 last year.
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA App
you get ATT warranty, even if u buy it from other retailers. I got my cappy from Amazonwireless.com last year and got replaced 4 times by ATT...
My wife and i both got refurb captivates about a year ago for free, with our upgrade. My phone has had no problems and I've flashed the crap out of it. Hers Has been returned once for the shutdown problem, but the problem showed back up after the w warranty (90 days) expired. Just putting it out there, so you know.
I think I'm gonna get one at target. After I figure out what is the easiest way to root it are there any precautions I need to take using tibu to restore my apps? I know don't do system settings but can I do my contacts & bookmarks?

I think I'm on this bandwagon, too. After seeing the battery and signal issues with the Vexus, I have no intention of jumping to Verizon. By the time the Galaxy Nexus is available on AT&T, Samsung will probably have announced the SGS3 (looks like MWC this February). If it's not too long a wait, I'll hold out for it.
Will I be able to transfer all the stuff I need to the sgs2 using tibu without any problems?

Should be fine. The one problem that seems to pop up every once in a while is that after you transfer the apps to your new phone, you may notice that all the market links are busted. TiBu can repair them, but they still might not appear to work.
They are actually fixed, but need a little help to take effect. If the market links are still broken after you try to restore them in TiBu, just clear your Market data (settings/applications/manage applications/market and click the clear data button) and reboot the phone. The market links should be back to normal.
The N7 isnt being sold in my country, so some friends will be visiting the USA this month and i want them to buy me one. The thing is, after reading about some of the problems the device has, and people returning it 3-4-5 times, im afraid im gonna get a defective device and then im screwed cuz i wont have any store to go and replace it.
My Nexus7 has no problems at all and I love it. Its well worth the price I paid for the 16GB.

I'm from India and I'm also afraid about product quality. Here getting 8GB model for $250. I want to know, is nexus 7 supports USB on the go feature so that I can use pen drive for external storage? and what are cons you guys faced with your nexus 7 yet?
Guys, don't step out in the road, you have more chance of getting hit by a bus than you have of getting a bad N7!
The N7 works with all kinds of external storage but you need to root it first, there's good instructions on what to do on these forums when you need them.
/edit, just had a thought, those might not be very good odds in India
As someone who has received three units with screen lifting, I wouldn't caution you as strongly as you might expect me to.
That's the only really common defect, and in most cases it is not severe enough to affect usage. The last two I received have been minor cases of separation. The reason I won't accept this flaw is because of the possibility that it will worsen over time, but keep in mind that this is speculative.
My experience with the device has been overwhelmingly positive aside from this, and if the Nexus 7 is right for you then it may be worth purchasing even if you do get one with the kind of separation I've been dealing with. Although the warranty friendly fixes have been found to be temporary, if it bothers you that much then good old fashioned super glue will do the trick. Many who have gone through multiple returns have decided that they like the tablet enough to dispense with this RMA business and jimmy it down themselves.
Don't let anyone tell you that screen lifting is a rare thing, but it's not the end of the world. This is a great device even with the fault.
You can get your friend to check it for you and if its bad return it on the spot.

I'm new in this forum and know nothing about rooting, but I would love to root my nexus 7 if someone give me link to proper instructions.
And yea the price for 8GB Nexus 7 is best anyone can get in India right now. On ebay india it costs approx 320$ for 8GB N7.
So buying N7 8GB for 8GB is a great deal for me.
Is there any chance that by now there is an already free defects batch rolling out?
I remember when the HTC Sensation came out it had also multiple issues. I bought mine about 5 months later and had no issues at all. I cant do it here because either i buy it this month or i wont buy it at all
:bump:
@Dr. Sheldon take a look at the android development sub-section in the Nexus 7 forum. There are several methods of rooting the device, most of them requires little interactions with the device.
Also, the ones who have had defects are among the thousands who haven't encountered any problems, so your odds should be pretty good. Best luck to you mate.

Don't be afraid, that's what Apple want to to feel. That's where this whole myth of Nexus7 problems originate from...
The vast majority of Nexus7's are fine. You only hear about the ones with problems.. (or claimed problems. I suspect only 10% of those are genuine, the other 90% Apple viral marketing at work).
People here are saying there's a small amount of defective n7s but I'm on my third one. First 2 had dead pixels, and my current one has screen lift. Guess I have extremely bad luck
I got mine overseas and notice screen flickering and screen tear the first day.
I also cannot return it.
But I pop it open (easy enough) and tighten the screw, it seems to fix the screen tear.
Only notice the tear once yesterday after a whole week. And people on forum already has solution for flickering.
So I cannot settle if it is hardware or software related.
I think for the price of half an iPad, it is lighter and smaller.
So I can definitely deal with the small imperfection.
So go ahead and get it.

The very vocal minority here may have problems, but the majority (the 99% lol) have no issues. If there was a global issue, I'm sure you'd hear about it on NBC/Fox/CrApple News/etc. I have my Nexus, no issues and I love the thing. Great device and no regrets!

Hi Dr. Sheldon
I have hours worth of videos on the Nexus 7. Showing OTG functionality(mouse/keyboard, remotes, usb hubs, controllers, camera connection and control), how to root, comparison, NFC in action, streaming your desktop screen, and more. My youtube channel is down below in the signature. But these are my perspective. There are allot of great videos others are publishing showing all the good and bad from different viewpoint. As a developer and hobby android developer, this is a great device. This is a great forum and community that will really unlock allot of potential in the Nexus 7, the most interesting sub-forum in my opinion is the Nexus 7 Developer.
For rooting Nexus 7, this is a very comprehensive video that was put together: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MrZaU5i2x4w&hd=1

There is no such thing. There will always be a number of defective devices for various reasons when things are mass produced. The number of issues you are seeing in the forum is skewed as most people who have no issues, rarely use forums or post about their experiences.
I've now touched and used 5 brand new 16gb Nexus 7's out of the box and they were all fine. The first was in the first initial pre-launch batches with the latest being 3 days ago. I know that others have had issues but that is the experience that I've been seeing.
I got my 2nd one today and it has screen lift and burn in.
I'm getting a refund.

I'm considering selling my girlfriend's dead exhibit ii but need some technical advise first. The EMMC chip died, as confirmed by an attempted JTAG repair by Mobiltechvideos. It is dead as a doornail, and Mobiltech suggested that I sell it on ebay. They think it might go for $75 to $100 for parts, which completely astounded me. It is in museum-quality shape, but I figured it would only be worth $5 with a dead EMMC chip. Anyway, I'm afraid that there might be some recoverable data on the phone that would create an identity-theft risk or some financial risk. Am I being overly cautious? I had not wiped the data/ROM/cache before the phone died. Of course I will remove the micro SD card. But will selling it on ebay present some sort of data-loss risk? Please advise. I'm happy to say my exhibit ii is going strong, with slimbean, and she bought another exhibit ii, since they're still so dirt cheap. Nice little phone for the money.
If its dead I'm pretty sure nothing can be recovered from it. As far as getting 100 for it I believe that's gonna be impossible since I paid 80 for mine a few months back and its flawless

UPDATE: parts4repair.com sells fully working parts!
I have recently replaced the DC In (charger port) board, and as many have experienced, I am having severe degradation of cellular reception.
Obviously the 'OEM' part that I have purchased isn't a real OEM, of this wouldn't be happening.
I am now posting this thread in hope that I can be directed to a seller in the United States that has ACTUAL Samsung factory parts, so I can fix this phone properly.
If you don't have an answer to where I could buy either (1) an actual Samsung part for a reasonable price or (2) a non Samsung part that won't degrade my cellular quality, then please don't respond.
Thank you
call several service centres of samsung if they have the part, and how it costs.
Or order from parts4repair.com, I think noone has had a broken one from there as of yet.

I have ordered this part from TWO separate people now, each shipped from China. Both of them i lose 1/2 of my cellular reception.
I wouldn't even care about losing reception, but here where my house is in Los Angeles Suburb, I barely get reception, so before with the original part I had only 1-2 bars. Now, i struggle just to get any reception. (0 bars)
I just want a REAL samsung part. its like pulling my teeth trying to find one
Even if a company or a member claims that they'll give you an original part, you'll never be sure of it until you test it in your device and get your old reception quality.
So I assume that it would be easier (but sadly more expensive) to get it repaired by Samsung.

I would be willing to consider that, but unfortunately Samsung USA refuses to repair any non-US phones. I just got off the phone with them a couple hours ago.
I just ordered 3 more boards from all different people via amazon.com... Hopefully one of them will be OK...luckily they are only $7-8 each... One is called 'refurbished' so hopefully it will be a part pulled from a device instead of a new Chinese manufacture. Otherwise I don't know what to do at this point.

I hate this policy.
But since yesterday when I read about the "new" trick with regional limited devices Samsung became a no-go-company for me.
I need to switch without limitations between Thai and German Sim cards for our Samsung devices. Samsung doesn't want this anymore. So I do not want Samsung anymore.
Luckily I switched already to the Nexus 7 and I am very happy with it until now (big screen, no bloat, 1-day-battery life without any restrictions, fast, and now with a bluetooth keyboard and fitting cover it is nearly perfect).
Good luck with your orders.

Be Sure to take the white part off BOTH sides of the sticky conductive tape so that it adheres to the METAL PART of the phone frame when you install it...

Hi,
Was wondering what people think of the recall. Seems like if they do do a recall, we would have to ship the phone in for a week at least. This would be very inconvenient and I'd rather just return the phone now before 14 day t mobile policy.
Any thoughts on if Samsung would give a freebie or maybe just give a new phone somehow? Otherwise, returning the phone seems to be the best idea and buying it again after the issue is "fixed"
Any idea if t mobile will make us pay 50 dollar restocking fee on this?

I didn't grab the 7, decided to wait for whatever the Nexus will be because really, tho the note series has always been pretty good locked up and knox not being able to be reset later for full functionality has finally turned me off, with that said tho, if you have a note 7 by all means exchange it. It's in no way worth a gamble, whose to say what could happen if it caught fire, exploded or whatever. Your safety or your families is nothing to take a risk with and saying it has been fine so far is just plain stupid. Everything and everyone will always say it was just fine until it's not. If something was to happen and someone hurt and you knew about the issue yet ignored it you are pretty much a piece of *[email protected]# in my opinion. Samsung would not issue a recall and face the negative press unless it was something they truly deemed necessary.

This is exactly what I was thinking. I've had no issues with this phone and have loved it so far, but I'm not going to take the chance of not sending back a possibility defective phone. Of course there isn't any signs of issues right now, but just my luck as soon as the recall period ends my phones will explode. I will be calling T-Mobile today or tomorrow to see what our options are because I'm not going a week or two without a phone. Everyone should return their phone and it should be a no brainer
If anyone is planning on selling their Note 7 down the road I would exchange it.
People on ebay will want to know if its one of the "fixed" units

Samsung acts fast and announces a recall on all Galaxy Note 7s because of potential battery issues. And Apple doesn't give 2 $#!%$ about the owners of iPhone 6 and 6 Pluses with Touch Disease who can barely if at all use their phone.
if there is a recall i will go back to my note 5 I loved that phone
I have my old Note3 as a back up (just replaced the battery so kids can still play on it and now it works and looks like new), so no big deal at all for me., so whatever they do I don't care much, I just hope it's a misunderstanding and despite being worldwide, only Korean made Notes 7 will be recalled (can't believe all factories produced faulty batts or that they can't track where battery was made) and mine is made China. One thing I'm 150% sure I will be owning Note7 recall or no recall and hell will freeze over before I would return it and switch to some other phones just being released any day now.

I just called them and they said samsung is manufacturing new notes, and in about 2-3 weeks they will call you and you bring your old note in and they just give you the new one, no restocking fee

Looks like you'll have that option.
I just got back from the Tmobile to return my note 7. They gave me the option of another phone instead of the note 7 or just get a phone in the meantime until my new note is shipped in 2-3 weeks. They remburst me for my tech 21 case and screen protector. Which I still get to keep. Also since I Finance the note 7. They will credit me for my first payment of my old note 7. I had the silver returned and ordered the blue Coral. They actually asked which color I would like.
Just called t-mobile. They said they will exchange the phone outside the 14 day return policy.. They will be sending out a mass text message with details on the exchange.
I definitely want a note 7, I don't want to exchange for any other phone except for a replacement note 7. So are they fixing the current phone or are they exchanging them? Waiting a week without a phone is stupid, I hope we get the Option to exchange for a new fixed one
Mine was made china on Aug 6th...its just the Korean variants with the issue correct?
