[YMMV] White iPhone 4's being exchanged for 4s's - Member-Found Deals

I just read on www.imore.com that some Apple stores are exchanging White 16GB iPhone 4's with White 16GB iPhone 4s's due to shortages of the regular 4's in the color white. People are confirming this works, but miles are definitely varying.
Refurbished units, FWIW. Good luck all!

I guess if your store is one of the stores out of White 16GB 4's they'll give a refurb 4s as a warranty replacement should something covered under warranty happen to your phone. Follow the link in the OP.

anyone know if this is actually working?
Was going to buy an iPhone 4 and go to my local Apple store and say it's acting buggy and have it swapped out.
I called my local store and the guy said he can't tell me if they had replacement iPhone 4's in stock which is funny since he works in the store and told me I had to make an appointment to find out.
So I would have to take a 20 minute trip and pay for parking at the mall just to find out if they have stock on an item in their store....

The guy would probably get fired if he actually told you. Looks like you are gonna have to take the drive if you wanna try and pull a fast one on them.

Working for Apple in the past. They're NOT supposed to reveal this type of information since there's a high volume of individuals that try to abuse their warranty policy.

Why would he get in trouble for telling a customer who wants to replace an iPhone 4 with and iPhone 4 and before driving out there wants to make sure they have stock for an iPhone 4

So people have to make an appointment appointment and drive 20+ mins to see if they have an item in stock
How can you abuse the warranty if you have to bring the phone in regardless

What I'm referring to is what the OP stated. Going to Apple with your perfectly working iPhone 4 expecting a 4S in exchange for a BS excuse.
Apple will give you an equivalent exchange regardless as long as your warranty is in place. If you so happen to drive to your local Apple store and they so happen not to have a 4 in stock, they'll offer you an alternative or ship you out one next day. They don't tell this to you on the phone because of the abuse I stated earlier.

Making sure a store has stock of an item is abusing the system, a customer who might need a phone immediately wants to see if they have a replacement before they make an effort to travel to a store knowing most are at great distances to some customers
But I understood your first statement

Buying N7

Hi all,
I went to purchase the N7 yesterdy, after returning to the purchase page for the tenth time lol.
And as my luck is terrible, it is now out of stock.

Thanks people

I'm c cheap too, but in the end I got a 16 gb, 8gb is too small for me, since I have quite some large games.
Thanks all much appreciated, girlfriend says the same just get the 16gb
Shall pop down to HMV/Argos and purchase one today/tomorrow.
Just hope I don't get a defective one, else that will really piss me off and throw me away from Android altogether.
Already decided I'm never purchasing HTC again as they are just ridiculous, I cannot understand how HTC can sell a phone, for the same price you can get a car, and send it out to their customers with so many issues. Then when you send it for fix, they **** it up even more.

Of course not! The seller has no feedback and probably intended the price to be $350, not $35.
Somebody should purchase one and see if they can get it for 35 dollars

I contacted the seller and im waiting for him to respond. bbut i really think its not legit, even though I wasnt it to be!

Thank you! Your order has been placed.
Your payment is currently being processed. Remember, your item will be shipped after the seller receives payment.
F-it. If it's fake, I'll put a case in with PayPal. If it's legit, my wife just got a new phone (I already have the S3) and we're both happy. I was literally just looking at T-Mobile to upgrade her line when I saw this thread lol.
I read the description several times over, it doesn't have anything sketchy in it.
I'm thinking the guy might have screwed up and meant to put $350 CD, not $35. It's either that, or they're fake.
Wow I just saw this post and I'm like : what if it's a mistake and I have to act quickly ?
What if it's a fake and maybe paypal won't give me my money back ?
And if it's a mistake , this poor guy just lost number of sales * 325$ ... should I make it number of sales +1 ? ^^
Anyway if it's a mistake he'll rather pay you back than send it , so I guess this isn't worth a try for me
Hope I won't regret it , but thanks for sharing

Will do man.
He's sold 90 of the 99 available.
If these are fake and he's running a scam, he'll clear $4000 probably with those 99 units lol.
Can't wait until tomorrow to find out if these clear payment and ship or I get a message saying it was a mistake. If it does ship, it's a waiting game until it gets here to see if it's legit
Or you could just do what I did, commit to buy one and don't pay. Wait for other people to confirm receipt and then pay. He probably won't open an unpaid item case anyway, and if he does, you can just talk to him before actually paying him or stall for more time.
Just bought one. Why not? Paid and all.
If it doesn't pan out, PayPal aggressively sides with the buyer. We will get our money back, guaranteed, if something is fishy.
Fun!
hmm it says gsm with LTE connectivity and a verizon logo on it and 32gb memory storage
I made a commitment to buy 99th one!
Please post here if shipping begins....

Yeah, it's a sloppy spec cut and paste from the Verizon version. The listing clearly says GSM though. If, by some miracle, it arrives and is Verizon, I'll open a dispute with PayPal or just verify a clean ESN and sell locally for a little dough. Win-win.

[DISCUSSION] Note 7 Return Experience

Everything went smooth, got my loaner which was the crappy J7 and pre-ordered that other phone (cough) But when I checked my account I see they tried to play me! She removed my Jump 1.0 and put me on Jump 2.0 so I called 611 ASAP and got that changed back. Why the heck would I want to have to pay half of the device off before I can jump? The way it's setup now I get 2 upgrades a year. I always get one in May and then another in August which is only 3 months so I only make 3 payments on my phone and then I get to jump again. Got the HTC 10 in May, jumped to the Note 7 in August and T-Mobile pays off the $594 I owed on the HTC 10. I remember when I first got with T-Mobile I waited 9 months before my first jump so I'm guessing that's why I get a jump at 9 months, then again after 3 months but I like it like that.
I refuse to accept a crappy J7 phone as a substitute for the most expensive phone they had in their stores. I've spent the past six days either at the store, on the phone or on Twitter and have absolutely nothing to show for my effort.
Sunday, the store said they couldn't do anything, to call customer service. Monday I called and requested an S7 Edge. They ordered an S7 instead which was supposed to be shipped overnight. Tuesday when I didn't get the confirmation email, I went on Twitter. I told them I wanted an S7 Edge, and they told me that once the EIP is signed, it's a done deal. When the phone didn't show shipped Wednesday morning, back on Twitter. I again told them I wanted an S7 Edge. I finally got someone who said OK, we'll get you an S7 Edge, we'll stop UPS from delivering the S7 and we'll overnight it. Thursday came with no tracking information on the S7 Edge. Back on Twitter. I was told that the Edge would ship Thursday overnight. Today, no Edge. Come to find out they're out of them. One representative said to turn the Note 7 in at the store and pick any phone they have. The other wanted me to call a phone number to arrange for a loaner.
This has been the most focked up customer service experience in my life. I want to flame T-Mobile on every venue that I can.
when i did the same they literally called the 800# and handed me one of their personal cell phones and had me set up the exchange with corporate. I have my Note 7 until they send me both an S7 edge and the replacement Note 7. Once the replacement note 7 shows i have to return my old note 7. Really just means i have 2 phones for a while

She had a email with all the steps they were supposed to follow so I didn't argue but the J7 does suck lol. They have my account all screwed up now, and I have a balance of -$488 some how so I ain't gonna complain lol. But I would like to know how each T-Mobile store in my area (4 within a few miles of each other) only got 1-3 regular iphones each while the lines were around the building lol. This was the absolute dumbest launch for a phone I have ever seen.

If you had held out for the S7 or S7 Edge you would have been eligible for either a VR or a 256 gig SD card. You have a receipt and a ESIN because you essentially bought the loaner they're supposed to credit back when the replacements come in.
I already got the card with the Note 7. I want the VR.
My account is also all screwed up! I have a balance of almost $1000. not sure how that is, when my normal bill is around $240 and paid in full long before the due date.
With this fiasco tmobile ****ed up my bill somehow... Someway... So won't be putting my hands in any loaner. I got a note 7...it is a note 7 I will return. The funny part is I did a normal jump 1...first and last time I do that over the phone.

Mines the same way, but -649 instead of -1300. Called and they said it was the EIP refund for the n7 for when I got the s7e and it'll clear up on the next bill. If you had 2 n7's that makes sense, as it's double what mine is.

Went to exchange my Note 7 with the s7 edge (loaner) at my t mobile store. Before I went up there I called and asked if they have silver Note 7 for exchange and the girl said yes. Short story is I wait inline for 45 minutes just to hear that samsung never sent any silver phones. I called 3 other stores near me and NO ONE has silver, I also cannot exchange my silver for a black. WTF
My store would exchange my silver for blue (which I didn't want) but i decided to get it anyway. sat there my entire lunch hour and still didn't get to the desk. another store just hasn't got any yet. the third has them locked in the safe and won't sell/exchange them until they hear from "upper management" tried twitter and calling for support and was told that exchanges can only be done in store. oh and the other store I called said that I could exchange it, but i'd have to bring in the box, which i don't have, so that's nice. they sent me a survey for my call, that was a mistake.
you guys think you had a bad experience?
I have the original jump. I returned my note 7, I still show it on my EIP plan (so i'm still paying for it), my note 5 shows that i haven't returned it in time. Oh... and to top it all off who here got threatened for not returning the phone with the box?

You should let corporate know and that Dumb ass should get fired.
As far as my return, I just returned my Note 7 yesterday for a refund. My account currently shows -747.50 and there is no EIP for the Note 7 on my account anymore. Now I just need to wait for everything to get squared away which T-Mobile is slow at doing. I too have the original Jump 1 plan and will be watching closely to make sure they don't screw it up. My Note 5 also shows that it was not returned but that is the only EIP I have now. Returning the phone was painless and the girl training the guy knew exactly what to do.

Soon as he approached me it would have been game over. Another typical kiddie. I'd make sure he lost his job and even threaten to post it online if he didn't. Then I'd do it anyway and post it as many places as I could. Ruin his punk ass life for good. Did I mention I'd also get my law partner in my firm to file whatever criminal and civil charges we could just to make sure he ****s in every single pair of pants he owns?
**** man, at the very least send that into the local news crew. Goddamn I hate kids.
... Of course that's assuming the begining part of that altercation wasn't some wild all out attack on him by you . Glad you got the phone man.

As bad as it sounds I didn't pursue to much on this because I couldn't miss to much of work. But the whole store is full of **** heads. That guy and the manager who i think has been trying to find me on social media.
I do have a police report. I think he got fired bit it'll be OK since apparently his mom is an undercover CIA agent.

Samsung could be looking at another recall...

According to this article....
http://www.ubergizmo.com/2016/10/samsung-note-7-second-round-recalls/?utm_source=mobilerepublic
Sprint is also letting users switch there Note 7 for ANY phone.

If there is another recall I might go ahead and get the Pixel XL.

Verizon should step up and do the same thing as Sprint. At this point, the Note 7 should just be taken off the market.
I'd like the pixel XL, but the Verizon is adding bloatware and handling updates on their version. Do some research on the absolute disaster that was the last time Verizon had a Nexus. It's a total joke.

Whoops Samsung! The Pixel phones look decent. Not sure why they decided to only go with IP53 rating but how often do you really jump in a pool with a phone rated higher anyways. When I had my Note 7 it was a pretty cool phone. I started to get used to the edge screen by the time I took it back to Verizon. I switched to an iPhone 7 Plus 256 and it's pretty damn sweet. I have been experiencing some Cell and GPS issues so I might have to go to an Apple store and have them replace my phone. I signed up for the beta program and have iOS 10.1 beta 2 which now includes the depth of field dual camera effect that they demoed in the keynote. I have a feeling that we are going to see a lot of phone problems over the next few years as these big manufacturers try to beat each other to the punch each year with their new products.

All carriers are apparently offering replacements now..

Seems like the carriers likely know something we don't... Dontcha think? They see returns on these devices before we do and for them to jump to this so quickly might indicate a larger problem.

yea, this is totally crazy that Verizon has already said that they'll allow people to exchange their notes, during the initial recall they waited forever to even acknowledge that there was a problem, even though we were all receiving text messages from Samsung telling us to take the phone back.
Let's sit and think for just a minute. Other than whining about some app not working or not being able to root the damn thing, nobody on XDA has reported any type of problem with their Note 7 smoking. Most of us here a capable of doing some really stupid stuff trying to make things go faster and yet nobody burned one up? This seems more like the press making something out of nothing and some of you just wanting a V20 or a 7 Plus or a Pixel. Ya know what, in 5 months there will be something even newer and faster....... Get over it already.

Nah, I don't think that is it. I think people don't want to worry about there phone burning down there house, exploding in a hotel room, a plane, etc.
I think we can all agree that the relative failure rate is very small however if you are on the receiving end of that failure... It could be explosive
Im not turning my current Note 7 in until Samsung confirms that the issue with the plane is not isolated and is recall worthy.

I had the Nexus 6. I wasn't relying on Verizon to update. I updated using the Google provided images.... like my Nexus 7

Has the investigation even finished yet? We really need to wait for the results, for all we know it was a random occurrence that just happened to be a Note 7, or the person did something to cause it to do that. I guess that's the nature of our instant, always on world, news flows out before anybody has actually checked it.

Either that, or they're just caught up in the hysteria, and want to take advantage of it to get people in the stores to sell them things.

"Available now the new Galaxy Note7. The Galaxy Note7 was previously recalled on September 9th by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) due to an issue with the device's battery. This new Galaxy Note7 has been approved by the (CPSC) for all purchases and exchanges."
This is still on the website, with no mention of any new exchanges or recalls. There is also no word on this from U.S. Cellular, the other carrier selling the Note 7.

Yep. Expect that to change. A source at att tonight stated the company is debating pulling them from sales now.

I agree with this statement I will hang on to my PH1 note as long as I can. I have not had any discharge or heat issues since I got it on the 27th as a new phone (I was not part of the recall).
Latest on att (carrier of the phone in the latest incident) along with Samsung statement

I think this is sabotage. Yes the first event was no doubt real. I also saw several news and forum reports about another exploding phone and it ended up being a totally different device. I'm just worried if I keep this phone I love, and all production and sales are halted, we may never see updates or support ever. That I may not be able to live with.
I spoke to two Verizon corporate stores last night and neither one knew anything about being able to exchange the replacement Note 7's.

My guess is they need a couple days to get the message out. I also suspect att is going to force Samsung's hand by the end of next week with their Friday deadline.
Also, take this report with a grain of salt too...but another reported safe phone is alleged to have popped.

Fraud or otherwise, Samsung caused this damage, and it's only going to stop with them.

Reps over the phone seems to know what's going on more than anyone else, I finally had gotten my replacement and it was fine. The phone it self was a great phone but my family and most all my friends are apple users which left me in the dark. I was also having issues finding a tempered glass with the edges and when the otterbox defender came out I had isssues with that as well, it drove me crazy. Battery life was honestly okay but felt that it should have been better. Long story short me and the wife weighed my options with the phone and I decided to get rid of it by edging up and getting a matte black iPhone 7 256gb. Don't flame me yet, money isn't a issue so I paid about $396 to get out of that phone. Of course this was around the time when the whole plane thing happened too. I didn't think they were going to open another investigation on it but since they did I guess I'll be the first to confirm that Verzion will return or exchange your replacement Note7 for any other smart phone. I found out last night when I called them about it and they did agree and state they were letting customers get something else and I'll also be getting my edge up money back which is perfect. I don't love my iPhone but I don't hate it either, I will say battery life on this thing BLOWS the note7 out of the water. I haven't been able to kill this thing yet and with heavy usage about (21hours) I only drop to 50%. Anyhow if you guys are looking to get into something else like the pixel phones or iPhone or whatever nows the time to do it. I might be picking up a pixel on the side just to have later down the road but of course a unlocked version.....
The only way I will give up my Note 7 is if they make a mandatory recall and will not provide service for the phone. In my opinion there is no other phone on the market with the same options and styling.

I got my replacement and the next day dropped it and crack the screen,and its 199 for Insurance. Bad luck

Trying to exchange my phone

So I am trying to exchange my phone. Verizon Tech support sends me to local store to exchange. Local store is FAKE. fake plastic demo phones. not a corporate store so they couldn't exchange my phone since it was a online purchase. So back to the tech support again. 1st guy was going to overnight me a phone and then put me on hold then I got shuffled to a 4th person and after 2 miserable hours for a 10 min ordeal I find out that i have to bill the sales tax on the new one to my bank account and overdraw because i have no more money to put in since i used what i had for the first phone. add a few expletives. Then they would reimburse me after they get the 1st one back. So since i can't do that I will get a refurbished one and "oh" i have to do a factory reset and reinstall my phone to verify it is bad.. So waste a few more hours I did that and the audio still cuts out when i play music as talked about in a diff thread. So now i have to call back again.. I'm so mad. anyone else have this kind of problem with Verizon?
The chances you're going to get a refurbished one is quite low since the phone was just released.

That's what thought.
Go on Twitter and raise a fit. Specifically tag @JohnLegere @Tmobile or something. They have specialist teams running on social media to try to keep down negative feedback. They may even have a @verizonHelps or something Twitter account... I would tweet them and explain your situation.
I don't know how dedicated Verizon's specialist team actually is. They're likely going to be highly motivated to retain their reputation though, being a highly coveted big name brand. All I know is I call yearly to "cancel" my services to a lot of companies and that's how I keep a lot of my bills nice and low. I couldn't get a connection to my house for broadband when I was living in the sticks, so I contacted the corporate # for AT&T... got us put into the system so we could get a connection... Squirrels were eating our lines at our apts (unbeknownst to us) and after four lying techs and several months of barely useable internet, I called the President of Comcast and the team there had a guy out with a specific time he'd be there and he fixed the issue in hours. My point is you have to raise the issue further if you want things done and there are twitter accounts, hard to find phone numbers out there that may help with your issue... you just have to look.
T-mobile was giving me issues with possibly returning phone due to the "your phone is corrupt" message, and they did finally get me to Buyer's Remorse so I could exchange the device. Decided on not exchanging the phone just yet and just test a little while longer. At least my account is notated... sometimes it's a matter of who you get on the line. I had to call a few times before I could be routed to Buyer's Remorse. Also, BE NICE.

I wouldn't put it past anyone to put a phone right back in it's box and send it out But yeah, video tape, document, take pictures of that unboxing... and the entire return/packaging process... even the person putting the tape on the box, get their name, note the register #, etc...
