How can I change to the Nexus 6?

How can I change to the N6? I'm on T-Mobile and just bought the Note 4 1 week ago. I still have 1 more week to return it. And after that 1 week, there's still 10 more days until the Nexus 6 comes out on T-Mobile.
I could just return the Note 4 next Friday, get another phone, and return it the day the Nexus 6 comes out, but there's a $50 restock fee. So, what ideas do you guys have?
I already sold the phone I had before the Note 4.
I really like it, but TouchWiz ruins the phone for me. It slows the phone down so much it doesn't feel like a Snapdragon 805 and 3GB of RAM. With TouchWiz, less than 1GB of RAM is available WITHOUT any apps open. And I really don't want to trip Knox for when I return the phone.

Ask your store if you can have another few weeks with Note4 until you can order the Nexus6....

Pay the damn restock fee, like a man.
You knew what you were doing buying a Note4 before the N6 announcement, accept the consequences of your choices.

This is probably what I would do. It's always good to have a backup phone anyways. At least IMO.

I got the answer. I'll return the phone on Friday and get the iPhone 5s test drive for a week until the N6 comes out.

I've had T Mobile for about 3 years now and ive traded in 3 or 4 of my past phones, all rooted.
I traded my S3, S4, Note 3, Nexus 5 all rooted.
Just make sure before you turn it in, it's back to factory settings (i.e. Odin a stock Firmware.)
Of course the Knox will still be tripped, but T Mobile doesnt care about that, more of a Samsung Warranty issue rather than T Mobile.

Thank you @devynbf for your info. I'll go ahead and root my phone.

OP can you tell me what value you see in Tmobile's JUMP?
Since you're ready talking about trading in your Note 4 it's safe to assume 6 months or 1 year from now you're willing to let it go at half the cost? Half the cost of today's current Tmobile price is $349.
A mint condition Note 3 on ebay or craigslist will sell for that much.
Hence the question what's the value in Jump? Why would I wanna pay someone 10 dollars a month for the benefit of selling my device at half the cost? I think I can do better myself without a monthly fee

T Mobile employee here, rooting your phone will not trigger anything for a tmobile employee while they inspect your phones, the main thing we look for is water damage, screen, and it turns on and runs. Anything outside of that we will pretty much ask you to make an insurance claim and pay the 175 dollar deductible.

Keep in mind tho, when we mess up, and accept a device that needed a claim, the price of the device comes out of our pockets. Yes it sucks.

Depends on jump program
BAD ASS NOTE 4 & GEAR S

I have the very first jump program.
It's amazing.
It's $10/month, and it counts as insurance if ny device decides to fall in the toilet.
It also lets me upgrade my device every 6 months. As long as you trade in the original device and its functional.
Best thing T Mobile has ever done, especially with all the new devices being released.

I'm assuming since he just switched over that he's on the new JUMP plan. By the time you've paid off 50% of the device on that plan you're 12 payments in. After 1 year I'm not sure if you'd be able to sell the device for more than $325.92 (half of retail) unless it's in 100% mint condition. (I could be wrong). As an example Swappa says the Note 3 is selling for an average price of $335 right now in February 15. I guess it's really a wash. I don't use a case on my devices and they typically get pretty beat up. T-Mobile will take it back all scratched up and beat up looking as long as the screen is not cracked and the water indicator isn't tripped.. You're going to be getting around the same price as trying to sell it online without having to deal with the hassle and shipping issues.
I'm on the old JUMP plan so it definitely makes sense for me. As long as you purchase the phone with 0 down, you're just paying up front taxes and 6 months worth of payments. At $27.16 for 6 months my total investment is $52.14 front tax plus $162.96 equals $215.10. So I'm only paying $430 per year and getting a brand new device every 6 months. I don't count the cost of the monthly JUMP since I would be paying for insurance anyway. T-Mobile is paying $488.88 for my device after owning it for only 6 months. I'm okay with that. You won't get that much selling online after 6 months for a used device that's scratched up.

Technically they are not paying anything... They have a different math than us "consumers' ... any new device comes out from the factory cost no more than $150 if not less "Google it". Plus when your return the phone they sell it somehow and make money from it. So these companies making billions of dollars anyways from us. But in our math yeah it's good to change the phone every 6 month and so on and we only pay around $250

Jumping to the Note 5

DOes anyone know if The note 5 will be able to be jumped to from the Note 4? Only asking because all I see if Jump on Demand, nothing about the original Jump program/

No problem. . Also pricing is as follows
Note 5: Through September 30, JUMP! On Demand price will be $99.99 down and $24.34 per month for 18 months. Regular EIP pricing will be $99.99 down, 23 monthly payments of $28.34, and 1 payment of $28.18. Full retail price of $779.99.
At the end of jump on demand, you have the option of paying the difference to buy it as well. They come out the same total, but if you plan to switch phones, the jump on demand might be the better option for you.
That's for the 64GB.. the 32 is a little cheaper.

You getting the note5?

I have EIP on the Note 4, and I'm not yet halfway thru my payments. I was hoping that once I got halfway thru, I could trade in my Note 4 and switch to Jump On Demand and a Note 5, but nope, it seems I would pay off the whole balance to close out my EIP plan.

You can JUMP to a cheap phone and give back the Note 4... like a recertified $199 iPhone 5c or a $50 flip phone, then pay it in full and sell it. Then go sign up for a Jump on Demand plan.

Upcoming upgrade

My annual upgrade is approaching. I LOVE my Nexus 6 <3 I'm on the AT&T Next plan and I'm unsure what I should get. I looked at the LG V10 but it seems the bootloader is locked on AT&T. Does AT&T even offer the 6P? Should I go with another Motorola? I'd like to be able to fully root with an unlocked bootloader to use themes (currently I use layers) and Xposed mods. Any suggestions? Anyone upgraded yet? TIA

This...should start appearing later this month.

You can buy the 6P and the Huawai in China and they will finance it for you. Screw the carrier, trust me its a much better option.
Also once my contract dropped AT&T gave me double the data. I now have 20gbs for $100 monthly so it's better you stay off because you can bargain.

That's interesting. My mom's phone is off contract since August, she lives out of state so I haven't had a chance to replace it for her. It seems that they want to charge more monthly if you don't do the next plan now. I had signed a 2 year with her line on a LG G2 (I believe) and I was going to renew and just send her another cheaper android phone but when I saw the message that they'd increase her line amount monthly I was like WTF. We have a big plan, 3 tablets and 4 phones with all different dates, the only 2 with the same date are my Nexus 6 and my daughter's iPhone 6+ and she already has the rose colored 6S+ picked out LOL. I believe it's around Valentines day we can trade in, so I have a bit of time to decide.
Don't they keep charging you monthly on next even if you don't upgrade after 12 months?

No, it's the same price. The only way the plan increases is if you sign a two year contract. If you pay off your phone and buy a new phone like the Nexus the plan stays the same. They were probably just poorly educated on their services. Just don't go on another contract and it will be fine.
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

It maybe abit of alot of money but its cheaper to buy the phone without any carrier involved as you will end up with a phone without any logos ( which destroy the look of any phone ) and no carrier crap installed , plus the big win is a firmware upgrade that can be months ahead of the carrier versions , also you would probably get an international phone which has more bands to use on any network , thats what i always do then i get a sim only contract which in the end will save you enough money to have a cheap holiday

Is anyone keeping the Note7 V1 and the loaner phone?

I am thinking to keep both till Note 8, though not happy still being charged on EIP monthly for my Note 7.

I like to keep my Note 7 at least until the Galaxy 8 releases if possible but I hear T-Mobile is blocking Note 7s in New Zealand and I don't see the stopping there if their plan works out. I like to hold out for the Note 8. According to some business predictions Samsung will blow our pants off in order to make up for all the trouble and stress they caused us all.

Unfortunately yes but I already paid half because of some problems I had with the preorder before release day. Even if I returned it I wouldn't get all my money back since I used a credit card and already made some payments from the jump.

I don't know about the note 7 v1 but they are allowing you to hold on the the loaner for only 2 months . In my case an s7 edge. They said if I don't turn it in within the 2 months I will be charged for it. I can return the phone to any store.

Who's they? I still have my V2 and not planning on turning it in until at least the S8 comes out. But I wouldn't mind waiting until the Note 8 lol. I honestly think half of those burning phones were bogus claims.
My phone never heats up and runs really smooth, so unless I have to fly somewhere then this puppy is staying with me lol.

Nobody told me that I had to return loaner in two months. It was a mess then so I was told initially no timeline for that, though that was before Note V2.
I am charged for both phones' EIP, though I had a monthly credit for loaner EIP. Does anyone with Note 7 only have monthly credit for EIP? Or were you charged for EIP monthly at all?
Thanks
