So i just got off the phone, with a Dell rep from India and what he told me was that DELL closed their Texas US call center. I called 8 times and every time got the same guy in India.
Can anyone confirm this?
I have been told the same thing and have tried calling over and over to see if I could get the texas call center but it was always an indian who answered.

Yet another reason to say bye, bye to DELL. I'm glad I finally have the .212 update -- and yes, it is fast! 8 months later I feel like my phone has finally been delivered --- anyway ...
Corporations will abuse us until we stand united and say enough is enough! Period.
Now, I'm off to use my phone and not have it lock up! @quantumforce1

Actually thats why i wanted to talk to them. The rumor was that you could replace the card and they'd still honor the warranty. I wanted to check that. What the guy in india told me was
"I'm sorry sir it is not possible to upgrade the memory on the phone the chip is inside the phone"
Not only does this tell me they either don't know or they are told to tell us we can't do it. Which also says they won't honor an upgraded phone.

Dell's position from the start has been that changing your card would void the warranty. Some have been told otherwise by Dell reps but that has never been officially confirmed so its wiser to assume the warranty will be void. An upgraded card shouldnt affect the firmware update or later update to Mango. Upgraded to Nodo and the security update with a 32GB card myself no problem.

I wouldnt go more than class 4, other WP7 handsets have issues with higher classs speeds, check the Samsung Focus and HD7 forums. Most recommended card is a class 2 Sandisk 32GB, seems to work for most.
Thank you for your information.
Please advise safe buy galaxy s4 unwanted upgrade phone? thanks
May help if you explain more. Safe to buy one or even you are selling one?
If someone is selling one as they don't want the upgrade then it may well be fine but you could pay a premium at the moment.

My best guess is he wants to buy a device from someone who is saying they are selling theirs as it is an unwanted upgrade. Not sure that would be something that anyone could give guaranteed advice on to be fair though. Caveat emptor and all that.

Root does not affect your service and repair coverage. With that said, if your phone is acting up and you take it in to a Sprint service center, it may be required from the service repair center that you unroot to assure the issue is not Root/ Rom related. If a Service center sees your phone, and immediately says "Your phone is rooted, warranty void, we can't help you" - You should contest that, or take it to another Service / Repair location that knows what they are doing...
Root does not void your warranty or Service / Repair eligibility with Sprint.:good:

I can't post a link for you for various reasons. BUT That is the policy. If a device is rooted , and it s suspected to be the cause of the issue, you may be asked to install back to stock, so being rooted can be ruled out as the cause. The phone can be swapped out like any other stock device, provided there isn't liquid, or physical damage.
Chainfire is on it !
Will be waiting to make the phone mine! Had one in hand today, looks and feels like a much more premium product, nice job Samsung!

It does matter at some Sprint Stores AND SAMSUNG WONDERS WHY SALES ARE DOWN. A majority of customers that would buy this phone would purchase it because they want the advanced features and the ability to customize. If you just want a smartphone then there are many phones out there that cost less and you are not penalized for customization. If Samsung wants to know if customization is causing problems on a phone they only need to reload the factory rom. I can see enforcing Knox on business supplied phones but do not see the purpose for private owners.

xda is the central hub for all things phone modding IMO. it has close to 6 million users, a fraction of that are samsung, but lets go on the high side and say 2 million of them are. Are all these samsung users buying each device? cuz teh SGS5 sold 11 million in its first month, its been 6 now, factor in the major of people arent upgrading every 6 months to go from note 3 to s5 to note 4 nad youve got a sizeable chunk of the market that are buying these phones that arent people on xda.
the entirety of verizons modding community complaining to vzw about bootloaders etc is far larger than the one complaining to samsung about a fuse that allows you to still mod your device and the vzw folks are getting no where. the modding community is not so big that if everyone who read this very same forum decided not to get the note 4 samsung would notice/care.

Just to clarify for those confused by this thread...Chainfire hasn't made an autoroot yet for the Sprint Note 4.
People in the main Note 4 CF-AutoRoot thread are saying that the T-Mobile root works for Sprint. So far no one has reported any issues. I want to use Titanium Backup to restore my data so I am leaning towards trying it. I will however wait until either a few more people report on it or the end of the month.
I am sure that Chainfire needs an official Sprint ROM in order to make sure that CF-AutoRoot works with minimal issues.

I registered for the Samsung Pay Beta program yesterday. Today I received a mail that I've been accepted in the Beta Program. I happily started the Samsung Pay app and it showed a new screen for installation. I installed it. The interface looks good. You can just scan the card and it captures the card number and expiry date automatically. Rest of the information has to be filled manually. However, It didn't accept my CHASE or AMEX card. It gives following error:-
Registration failed
Unable to register your card. Try another
card or contact the card issuer. (645101)
Anybody else having similar issue ?

Looks like very limited participants are available for Beta Program. I received a mail from AmEx that my card couldn't be added and when I called their customer support, they said the particular Corporate ard I'm trying to add isn't supported to the Beta program, however, it would be available 28th Sept onward (official launch). The Chase however have no idea about Samsung Pay. They said they are aware of only Apple Pay.
I have it as well. It will only work with US Bank or Bank of America (Visa Debit or Visa Credit card). I also tried my other cards just to see if they would work, nothing else is accepted yet. I did call customer service for all of my cards (Amex, Chase, Barclay's, American Airlines CC and Capital One) and they said they will work with Samsung Pay near the end of September.
Looks like Samsung is just minimizing the testing to keep control of things. Worked perfect at Panera with my B of A Debit Visa card. Of course the girl thought it was an IPhone. Knew that was coming hahahaha

The inevitable... :silly:
I didn't realize this when I used it the other day but Samsung Pay is actually integrated into your lock screen and every screen screen even after you unlock your phone. I previously accessed Samsung Pay through the app as that is how I was use to accessing Google Wallet.
So here is how you quick access it:
Once you turn the screen on, you will see a small tab floating above the home key that says Samsung Pay.
Swipe it up (without unlocking the screen). Choose a card you want to use, then once you want to use it, you use finger print to unlock it. The phone will start vibrating and have some animation on the screen to indicate you can now pay.
If you have your phone unlocked and you were previously using it, you simply swipe up and bam there it is.
I guess in the excitement yesterday I didn't see this. The Samsung pay tab is so small, if you are on auto pilot using your phone you will miss it.

Applepay doesn't support MST and there isn't a way for the phone to know there is a MST terminal in front of it. NFC is 2 way which is why it works for that. They could possibly make it work automatically with NFC capable terminals but it would likely just confuse some people about when it's automatic and when it's manual. I don't find it hard to use at all in its current form.

Well, the Beta programs (Samsung or no Samsung) intend to execute a trial run before the actual services are officially released. Would make no sense if nobody enrolls in it, don't you agree ?

Samsung Pay is a payment system which uses NFC and MST. Once you've added your card, you can go to any retailer and pay using your phone instead of your card. If the retailer has an NFC system, you can simply tap your phone onto the NFC section of the payment system and authenticate using PIN/Fingerprint and the payment should be made. Otherwise, if the retailer has traditional magnetic card swiping payment system, just start the Samsung Pay and bring it near the edge of the Payment System where card is required to be swiped. Use PIN/Fingerprint for authentication and the payment should be made easily.
Try googling about Samsung Pay, you'll know more in details.

I'd say it's significantly safer than carrying a physical card around since anyone could rob you and use it where as samsung pay couldn't be used unless they chopped off your finger when they stole the phone and at that point the cashier would be suspicious I'm thinking.

We're talking about Samsung here.. You could trust them with your contacts, messages, social media credentials, banking apps and you can't trust them with Samsung Pay. Really ? May be you don't use banking apps (I thought you may bring that up again), and that's okay. It's your hard earned money, I'm sure you know how to handle it better than anybody else does. You might wanna look into Samsung Knox bdw (just for information purpose), its even NSA approved.

And even if someone manages to do all that, one can simply call the bank to nullify the transaction. A chopped finger would suffice as a proof! :cyclops:

I think the toeknization is the real value here. When you go to target and buy something they don't actually have access to your card info, they have a token because the card info stays at the payment processor and is activated by the token. At least that's how I understand it.
Hell, in theory, if target gets hacked and your token is compromised they can do a mass update and scramble the tokens only for cards used at target in the last X number of days.
IMHO this is exponentially safer than using your card at a store. Skimmers are probably less effective too, all kinds of joy with this innovation.
They should of had all major banks on board. So people dont sit around and think about why it may not be safe. Big mistake not not have a feature ready by launch. I have capital one and Wellsfargo and i am waiting not even knowing if they will ever sign on.

As long as they are VISA or Master Card, they should work. Atleast that's what I understand. Also, there are only limited banks supported for Beta, you should try Capital One and Wellsfargo after 28th.

American express, Visa, MasterCard and some large banks are on board - seems to be a pretty good backing and show of support to me. Anyone that thinks it isn't safe clearly has no idea of how the system works because it's actually significantly safer than a standard card.
Hey guys,
i got this legit t-mo gs7e which came for free through this promotional agency. it is clearly branded as t-mobile and only works with t-mobile US sim card, but t-mo hotline keeps saying it is not a t-mobile phone. longer description in this thread which i accidentally posted in the GS7normal section: (i asked for the thread to be moved over here to avoid double post but nothing happened)
https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-s7/help/unlockable-t-mobile-s7-edge-t3572986
will this new root help me making any use of this phone or do i have to just buy a new one? i been on the hotlines for about 3 weeks now and about to give up and just try to sell it and buy something else, so you people are really my last resort.
also willing to tip if someone can guide me through the process.
definately a legit, not-blocked, paid-off phone, just nobody can remove the sim-lock and i need to use it both in foreign countries and on diff networks in the US.
thanks in advance,

I don't think there is any hack or anything to sim unlock the phone. I believe it hinges on getting your imei into the tmo database, or using a paid service. Check this post and maybe try and contact that TMobile rep: https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-lg-v10/general/unlocking-sim-tmobile-t3241032/post65795953
It will not help you unlock the sim lock.

Yeah, I guess a paid service requires that your phone be registered in the carrier's database. Then if the unlock app doesn't work, you could choose to pay. So hopefully you can reach that woman and have her help! Good luck and keep us posted
OK, so I have a question. I'm Trying to move from t-mobile to Verizon but I'm trying to keep my same phone. So no matter what I do im better off getting a new phone?
To unlock that device you'll need to find a store that has the equipment to do it. There are boxes out there that unlock immediately through a connected cable.

The models that have unlock device apps can only be unlocked (Tmobile metropcs possibly others?) will have to be unlocked thru the app (AFAIK) other models (certain models, which vary accordingly) can be unlocked instantly thru cable.
Now, is it "impossible to hack"? I dunno? I don't think anything is impossible to hack.... (don't read into that, I'm not saying it's been done, I'm merely making a statement that's all)
