You would think...Someone on here posted some info about the Sprint Flex and KitKat getting close. I forget where I saw that.
Not sure if you wife would use Isis mobile wallet on the G2 but if you sign up for a prepaid Amex card you get $25. I don't think it cost anything. You have to have the Isis SIM and KitKat for it to work. T-Mobile gave me the Isis SIM for free.
we're on T-Mobile; I thought Isis was ATT?
Besides, I am no big fan of paying at the register by rubbing my phone. there's enough hacking activity going on at point of sale now a days, that I prefer to use cash at a store register, when possible. I'm not convinced that ISIS or Google Wallet at POS is as safe as it can be

LoL @ rubbing your phone. You just put the back of your phone near the Isis machine no rubbing required. I installed the T-Mobile KitKat a few few weeks ago on my G2 and Isis comes pre loaded. I would think the security is very good and all you have to do is turn off NFC after you pay for something. It''s funny to see the reaction of the person at the resister when you us Isis. One guy said "man how did you do that, it's so cool". lol You can get discounts + cash back. I like free $.
well, if you can get free money, I'm in!! :good:
I signed up for the Amex Serve prepaid when i got my flex from At&T. got a free 50 bucks for doing it. Normally is a dollar a month charge, but since I signed up through Isis that fee is waived. as to it not being safe... I dont like carrying cash. and with the serve card, I simple load what money i want onto the card prior to using it. if it gets hacked, the only money they would get would be the little ammount I put on it. it is not tied to my checking account in any way so the majority of my funds are still safe.
Back to the topic i read on android authority that the g flex was getting kit kat soon. They had a picture of a prop.build i believe, it might have been something else tho.

Since my wife's G2 got it this morning, I would bet we see it within the next week. We're on T-Mobile, and I am new to them, so I dont know how they compare to the others when it comes to rolling out System Updates. But since the Flex is a close relative of the G2 software-wise, I bet its soon.
Or it could just be wishful thinking!

In most places you are more likely to get physically robbed for cash than electronically robbed for a credit card number. Just saying

Hey thanks for letting me know this. I started my Amex Serve card with my G2 and just now switched it to my Flex. I thought you had to be on KitKat but guess not. It's cool that the card is free.

I would think Amex is one of the top dogs as far as security goes. Getting hacked on my Amex prepaid card is the last thing I would worry about. Like the other guy said it's a prepaid card so just don't keep that much on it.
I ordered the lg g flex as a warranty replacement for my note 3, It seems that after the 3rd replacement they will let you pick a different device. More on topic AT&T tells me it will come with android 4.4 pre installed. Also the AT&T website lists it as having 4.4 , I'm not sure if it was always listed like that but maybe its coming soon or is it out already?

just wanted to make a rant/rave thing.
just purchased the galaxy nexus off the google play store (lol play store) for about $392USD.
:crying::crying: tax sucked! $32 dollars for NYC
first time i spent this much for a phone, it was almost unjustifiable.... if i wasnt selling my old beloved nexus one for 150-ish. so i guess technically i am spending only about $240 out of my pocket, which isnt so bad if you look at it that way.
..... right? what do you guys think?
Stop f***ing moaning. That's what I think.
You can obviously afford the money or you wouldn't have bought it. We can't order the Nexus phone from Google here in the UK, so we end up paying way more to get it from another source if we want it.
If you weren't happy with the cost then you should have stuck with your old phone

Look on the bright side: your tax dollars go to the state which "might" come back to you someday.
The price you paid for what you got is dirt cheap. I can't believe how little Google is charging for them, off contract. I bought one for my wife when they were still $399 and I have no regrets, that was a steal too.

I paid almost $700 for mine from handtec when they first came out and I bought 2. I could have purchased 5 total with the prices now. With the next nexus I might not be so quick to get, I think I'll be able to wait a few months for prices to come down....hopefully.
Google should really sell the next nexus for $400 straight from play store. They would kill the market for sure.

What do I think? It's the best bang for your buck. And honestly, if you're using it while on contract, you're wasting your money. Contracts are a thing of the past. Take it to T-Mobile's $30 5GB, unlimited text, 100 minute plan or to Straight Talk's $50 unlimited everything (runs on AT&T or T-Mobile, whichever you choose). Don't forget you have a pentaband phone, which is rare even nowadays.
I paid $575 out of pocket (after trade-in credits from Amazon) for my Galaxy S III i9300, so don't complain.

I think the fee is only for this specific prepaid card (the free $10). That being said, I don't understand why they're discontinuing the prepaid cards unless they weren't as popular as they hoped.
This pretty much removes the ability for those outside the US to use Google Wallet now. Yes, I know it wasn't really meant for these people, but it was still nice while it lasted.
Removing maybe because its cost them a freaking fortune lol.

Like one of the post above .The email reads google wallet pre paid card.. then the bottom it goes on to say the 2.00 fee on pre paid cards AFTER Added after October 17th will have the 2.oo fee applied to it .
This makes me thing they are discontinuing the use of the citi back pre paid card. But are going to allow you to put you own . Any visa and master card pre paid or other credit card.. I have my PAY PAL Card listed in there. Its the ONLY Credit card i use.. Because of its awesome consumer protection online..
So as far as people in other countries I think that could be a solution . Just wait until this settles and see what google is really doing . I think its going to be for the good of everyone. I think it will allow a much broader range of credit card types..I kinda know alot of how the pre paid and store cards work as That huge company that is the vendor for them in places like target walmart kmart grocery stores lows home depot and so on..The guy who runs there It accounting dept computer programmer is a friend of Mine..
So give google a chance i think they cant mess everything up.. HEHE
They are going to make sure you Can spend your money.. That is what its all about remember

Well my Galaxy Nexus came with it's own $10 card. Same with the N7. Even though I use the same Google Account, each phone shows up different. They don't combine them or show up on both devices.
I just emptied out the rest of my Galaxy Nexus's account. Now $10 left on my N7.
Only 3 places in my town that accept it: Home Depot, Sports Authority, and the local bowling place. Not much to choose from. I think ill buy some basketball shorts and be done with it.
Too bad that I got my nexus 7 to late for this
Its the $10 that is going to be deducted right? Man I have to use up my $25 before I can even touch the $10. Do you need wifi to use the Google Wallet? I think it would look ridiculous to tap a tablet on a terminal.

I can't answer that.... I clicked the upgrade part so that's all I know.... Like I said I called Customer service before hand and it seems as though if you do it by phone you can say what gift you want but... they now implement a $20.00 "assistance fee" for doing it by phone....
I politely told the lady I don't want to pay the $20.00 and proceeded to do the transaction online... She was very helpful though and answered everything I asked so I do appreciate that...
You have to go to the Samsung promotions site when you have phone and receipt in hand to place your order.
SD card and Fit 2 will take up to 12 weeks for delivery.
Netflix is a digital code.
https://promos.samsungpromotions.com/galaxyoffer/
You need IMEI, MAC address and receipt from the device.
---------- Post added at 09:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:03 PM ----------
Oh yeah, and the promotion for the Fit 2 and SD card is limited to the first 250K then they substitute. . .
So when you get it, hop to it.

I also used JUMP via Web to place my preorder. There was no option for me to choose either, Hopefully there still Gear fit 2 available for me to redeem my gift.
I guess this must be the first time you guys have gotten any perks like this. ITs been this way for quite some time that you basically upload a copy of your invoice and use your IMEI number to process your order for samsung promotions. Also dont get too crazy thinking it may come right away generally it takes 4-6 weeks to receive promotional gifts
So far I have gotten netflix, wireless chargers, gift cards and gear vr. They will send it so dont get too nervous if you feel like you been waiting a while.
I just ordered the phone on jump on demand and the guy told me i wasnt gonna be eligible to receive the sd card or gear or netflix promotion with it. It was only available if i got it as a eip or bought full price. Sucks but still got it anyways.lol

With jump on demand you can only do it over the phone or in store upgrade. No online upgrade. For pre order just call tmobile and when it asks you to say what you are calling for just say representative. Tell them you want a jump on demand upgrade and to preorder a phone. And whenever you get the new phone just go to a tmobile store and return the old one. Really quick. Make sure you keeo the charger, they wont ask for it.
If the phone is already out then just go to any store and they will trade it for you. Also pretty fast. The cool thing is that you dont have to put any money down for any phone with jump on demand.
The only reason I didn't order it was because they had a 70 down plus tax on jump on demand. I kept asking if that was right because it didn't sound right. Guess they did have a money down thing for jod on the note 7 but got rid of it because people were complaining. Sucks because I would've ordered it last week. But it's cool I guess. I'll just order it today

I went ahead and paid the $70, then got a text two days later from T-Mobile stating that I could do it for no money down, all I had to do was call back in and they would change it for me and my monthly amount would go from $33.50 to $37.50. I went ahead and just left it alone as I didn't want to risk losing my place in the shipping line.

I ordered mine last night for no money down at $37.50 per month. They checked my account and told me I didn't need any cash.
Did anyone else get this? I was financing my Note 7 through Tmobile and I got my phone bill with the full charge of my phone.
I understand why they are doing it. Just sucks. I can't afford to pay off all $900 at once. I guess they are finally forcing me to return it.
It's a recalled device. Tmobile still owns it until it's paid off. They can't own this anymore.
The phone is dead. No support. No insurance.

If they do this to me I HAVE to return it asap.

No I didn't, when did you get it and how did they send it to you?

Yeah I guess they tried that with me but I show a credit of the phone on my account page. Maybe cause I called last week to get details and they said they were going too follow up next week

I'm under my sister's account who works for tmobile. So our regular phone bill was +$900(the cost of the phone). When she looked into to it, she was told that i need to pay off the phone.

More than likely it is because she is an employee, as an employee she is held to a different standard when it comes to protecting the brand. Turn the device in so your sister doesn't get in trouble for not following proper procedures.

It is likely they force people to pay off phones so ownership of phone would be transfered from Tmobile to customer and Tmobile wouldn't be responsible for any future lawsuits.

That's true... It's possible. Yes i will be doing that this week sadly.
Is it that the credit for the first N7 you turned in hasn't applied yet to your account? I had an $871 bill on tmobile till yesterday because the credit for the first N7 I turned in didn't apply. I went to the store, they made a phone call and my bill is down to $90. All I have on my account now is the EIP balance for the second N7 that I haven't surrendered yet. Try calling them and ask what is going on.
My bill somehow turned to negative $650 when I turned mine in

Actually the way I see it, if OP paid the bill in full, then T-mo would be selling at that point recalled device that shouldn't be sold at all and me think that would be illegal regardless of any possible future lawsuits, but I'm not a lawyer, also the fact it is under T-mo employee account makes it even more tricky. Either way they will probably put some deadlines in place soon, so free ride may end soon for everybody.

how did that happen. so your current phone N7 shows no more payments needed?
I have a similar issue. They had to escalate it to see where it went wrong. They removed the EIP, they have the phone, they credited only 425 of the eip. Waiting to hear back. The lady did state I was NOT the first to call in with issues relating to the 2nd recall.

I had similar situation as you. Yesterday I have received an SMS from T-mobile with my next bill due November 12th. Amount $519. $380 is an amount for galaxy note 4 that was waived the moment I upgraded to Note 7, plus I could keep the Note 4.
Just 2 days earlier I saw $90 as my next bill on tmo website.
So I went to T-mobile store. Explained all to the manager and he called T-mobile billing department and they rectified the my bill back to what it suppose to be. Today on T-mobile website I still see EIP outstanding balance of $780 for the note 7 as I write this.
I think that the carrier(s) are trying different tricks to let us part with our Note 7. Harassment so to speak.
The most ironic thing is that the manager in the store was on my side. Pulling out of his pocket Note 7 and saying until the recall is mandatory he will keep it too. With the smile on his face. This is no joke. I felt like I found an ally.
Also they had v20. (not on display but in the back of the store) So I could have it in my hands.
I was toying with the idea of jumping the ship before but after playing with v20 for few minutes, there is no way that I go for this device.
Has not happen to me but if it does im going to be piss and will probably leave samsung and tmobile altogether.
I try to play nice and was going to return the phone, even know i dont want to.
But every tmobile store i call tells me there out of stock of s7 edge and to just keep calling.
Went online ans there out of stock until Nov or Dev.
Not the kicker here they dont even carry the black s7 edge any more. Which i traded mines in for the note 7 at launch. And now gotta start all over with payments and now they dont even have them on in there systems any more.
And to top all that.
Samsung website is out of stock also. Without a date.
And there are reports that the s7 edge are catching fire also.
So all this is turning into crap.
But yes i can see tmobile doing this.
Getting the end user to pay it off and deal with samsung direct for the exchanges and problems with the phone.
And thats how they get you to return it. You dont wanna pay it all off so they , tell you, you can exchange it for another device and they will credit you whatever you already paid.
I guess we shall see what happens.
Samsung is releasing a UK update to kill charging to 60%.
This will got ota on the 30 or 31
I had the same thing happen see my attached upcoming bill but I'm gonna argue it because they ****ed up and are charging me for my previous Note 7 the one I returned.....idiots

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

I might have to get that. Please let us know if your fingers catch on the edges of the glass or if it interferes with any of your sensors. Thank you.

Looks great. Let us know if the front sensors start acting up. Like when you wave at the phone to get the screen to come on.
Strange that they cheaped out on the accessories on this new phone. My Moto Z last year came with a style back and a bumper case.

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.

Incorrect you have to wait 40 days and make sure the device is paid off then use the unlock app.

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.

If you got it off eBay most likely it was a BOGO that there going to get the money for and your gonna end up not being able to unlock it. All for the imei

The account it's tied to needs to be at least 40 days old. I buy devices outright and unlock them same day.

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.

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.
