this is just a little info i want to pass along that i learned from tmobile today. it's not meant to be an iphone vs. samsung thread.
i talked to a couple different reps today and they all told me the same thing. if you have a note 7 you can exchange it for an iphone 7 next friday. you cant do the pre-order because they would need to get the note 7 from you first before doing the iphone exchange. so you just take your note 7 into a tmobile store next friday and they will reimburse you for everything you paid for with the note 7 and you will even get your jump back. at that time you use the reimbursement to pay for the iphone 7 and use the jump that you just got back.
just wanted to pass along some info in case anyone else was wondering.
I'm pretty sure most people know this but thanks anyway. You can exchange it for any phone you want, no reason they would exclude the new iPhone. This is exactly what I plan on doing, I will be at the store at 10am on release day! Figured this is the best time for me to try out a iPhone, the timing is just to coincidental lol.
And, why downgrade to IPhone 7! Smh

That's your choice to make but just a small tip. Go to the store at 7:30 am on the release day. The stores here in New Jersey open early but they do not advertise it.

I work midnight shift and get off at 7am so ill swing by but I doubt they will open that early in Ga. Plus their are 3 T-Mobile corporate stores on the same street where I am so I'm sure I'll be able to get one on release day.

Let's use a little common sense when posting about an Iphone in a android based community. Honestly not many people in here would even care about that and to top it off why go to a phone that does less than what you have now. I know I know it blows up but you do know your chances of getting hit by a car are greater than your phone blowing up right now. I bet you still go outside and drive a car or get on a plane, etc..... You people kill me.
Thanks for the info but I dont see how this is the place for it. also, this was not a bashing post....
Thinking about going back to iPhone as well. I shouldn't have to compromise settings just for this phone to work.
As an Android/Samsung Fanboy it's a damb shame to have to go through all this.
The 6s Plus NEVER gave me any problems. Even with 2gb of RAM, it NEVER lagged. Hell, the battery was hard to kill with heavy usage (4hrs of youtube background play, fb, text, browsing XDA, etc).
I'm trying to give Sammy a chance but damn.. hopefully the results of these replacements can change my mind.

I think better comparison would be driving and texting or being distracted by phone in general: the same people panicking about faulty batteries think nothing of using the phone while driving and I'm guilty as well, just glanced at the map to check traffic ahead, same time as the guy in front stand on breaks, I barely stopped without hitting him and I drive a lot with years of experience. Probably more than 500 people die each yr. because of phone distractions. My phone charging station is on marble table in kitchen for years (convenience of multiple outlets at above waste level), accidently right next to smoke detector. Most likely it would be non event for me even if it burned to crisp. I put my life in much bigger danger when I'm cooking, but that's another story. As a side note advice, for those interested to buy iphone7, get iphone 6 instead put the tape on headphone jack and viola, you got iphone 7, you can thank me later.
Yeah but then they will lose out on the new shiny black one
Just placed an order for the jet black and was told it would be shipping in NOV lol, so i don't know what ever comes first new Note 7, V20 or iphone
Considering that the Note 7 is the most expensive phone T Mobile sells, it seems obvious that you would be able to exchange it for ANY other phone they sell.

Fair enough. It is at least 200% shinier than any previous iPhone, well, except for one.
Thanks for the info, I've been trying to the same, got no help at the store, went through 4 phone reps who refused to do it, and finally one gave in and pre ordered them for us. Wish they would've told us that we can just go get them at the store on Friday. They're saying that the phone is already sold out and that be shipments would come out in October or November

yea your best bet is to go into the store and get one. my local tmobile is opening at 8am and handing out tickets in case there is a line. they dont know how many they will have in stock.
i enjoy the people the bringing nothing to topic but come in to post to complain about others talking about the iphone. you act like someone talked bad about your mom. in the OP i stated this isnt an iphone vs android topic. yet some peoples blind loyalism cant understand that there are people that like both.

I made a nice call to *2 this evening, talked to a nice rep and kindly asked them to pass the word along to whoever they can that we are very unhappy with the FPS cap and quality of the evo. I wasn't complaining to them, just asked them to push it up the channels so maybe sprint will put some pressure on HTC to make things right.
If we all do the same, maybe sprint will get the message.

I actually bought it from Wirefly. I just had to get an RA number within 14 days of activating it then I had to ship it back with all the original packaging.
Then I spoke with Sprint chat to put a note on my account to revert me back to my old plan and old contract.
What cap are you guys referring to, and what's so wrong with the EVO? I'm loving mine!
I might call if I was unhappy with the EVO... as it stands though, I love this phone, so no reason to complain here.

There should be an effective way to communicate with HTC on its issues. Even their forums don't seem all that effective, I'd like to see some official response from HTC as well:
Popular discussions & Product Support:

I played with an EVO for another couple hours the other day but don't feel compelled to buy one until 2.2 & Wi-Fi fix etc..& if they don't respond to market pressures it will only make the iPhone 4 seem more worth the compromise of Apple's constraints..
Ideas on more effective communication with HTC, what say you..?
they still arent gonna do anything
I'd beg to differ, I was one of many who were suckered in to buying an Instinct. It was probably the most hyped, worst phone ever (iphone killer?). They made a number of updates for several months after release. I'm sure we'll see a few fixes.
What's wrong with the WiFi? I use mine all day, every day.
@op: Who's unhappy?
Every time a new phone comes out there is always a small group exclaiming loudly about how this or that needs to be fixed or it's a dealbreaker. Honestly, if someone had not reported the video cap 99% of users would never have noticed. All electronics have issues and won't be perfect. For those of you expecting everything that you buy to be perfect, I suggest you wake up and smell the coffee. It's not gonna happen. Go ahead a do a Google search. Every major phone release, from iPhones to Droids to WinMos to WebOSes, have all had issues. No amount of belly-aching from anyone is going fix it. It's just the nature of manufacturing.

Oh good god please don't bring up that phone!
the cap thing does suck but bottom line is this is the best phone i have ever had.. having a fps cap isnt enough to get me to return my phone, i was happy with my phone before i heard of the cap so im not going to change how i feel about it now.. when i read all of the comments about ppl returning their phone because of the cap i honestly think they are returning it for other reasons and just using the cap as an excuse cause honestly i cant think of a better phone that sprint has at the moment... i read someone was claiming to boycott htc is they didnt fix that cap, that comment made me laugh!

Thanks for links....I guess my point was that WiFi works. People are complaining, but for most, WiFi works just fine. I use mine all over my house and my router is in my basement. I even get a connection outside my house. My signal bars don't show me a thing but it's still connected and fast. Some may have WiFi issues but they aren't Toyota recall type issues.
This phone is draining my time and killing my soul. Selling it before my wife chooses to sell me. There are more important things to focus on in my life. Already changed back to my faithful Env3. and busted out my 7MP point-and-shoot camera. Ah, the good 'ol days
PM me if you want to make an offer. Close to mint condition. A few minor scratches on the screen that happened before I applied the screen protector. Can't really even see them. Stock battery. Everything works great. Currently running MIUI, but of course you can flash what you like. I can throw in an 8GB card. Offers via PM only, please. I live near Houston, TX if that means anything to you.
I'll post to Ebay and transact it that way if it makes you feel better, but I'll have to take a slightly higher offer to cover their gouging commissions. As of now, it's not on Ebay.
You can see from my post count that I'm not new to XDA. This is legit.
Moderators, let me know if there's a more appropriate place to put this. I figured it was pretty 'general'.
dude thats bad you can't control yourself with that phone?lol instead of getting rid of it you should prob seek help.

Look...I am tempted nearly every minute of every day to check this website and get the latest thing. The surest way to get rid of the temptation is to get rid of the phone. I've already reclaimed a few hours of my life just in the past couple of days.
No takers yet. I guess I'll post to E-bay

Just to apologize in advance to posting this thread.
I really need help on a choice im on the fence about since next week I will lose my 30 day return period.
Here it is 5 Nexus S's later and almost every unit had a different problem.
1st: soft resets at least 4 times a day.
2nd: wifi doesn't work
3rd: massive screen banding.
4th: back button did not respond to touch.
Now: screen coating is peeling.
I love Gingerbread! Its going to be really hard giving this away. I love the design and profile of this phone.
I've convinced myself that its ok for the weak wifi signal and a Gps that doesn't lock as good as other phones.
I'm torn between returning it or sending it in for repair.
I also have owned every Tmobile smartphone (MT4G, G2, Vibrant), I could exchange it for one of those.
Why lol does the best phone ive seen in a while have to be seriously half-assed.
Not because of the features but because of all those problems I put above.
I want something that works pretty solid and software mix but it looks the world is in capable of doing this.
Thanks And hope some one with patience can help me out.
Idk man I just picked up nexus s today from bestbuy, I had the vibrant and the problems you've had software/device related I have not seen on mine. Mine just OTA updated about 2 hrs ago to 2.3.1. I havent had it long enough to comment on peeling but ya.
Its solid device to me so far, But I understand what your saying after 5 NS later.
Yeah I really dont feel disappointed. Just sad. lol
I dont want to send it in because thats 2 weeks without it And I HATE Samsung especially their costumer support!
Well I know ur sad about it, But in order for stuff to be changed its gotta cost samsung money that all these phones r coming back. I mean its a shame, but maybe you still have a old android phone to hold ya over?
Nope lol I sold my nexus one....worst mistake of my life I guess Ill just do the return and hopefully my patience will pay off.
What sucks is that even after six months Samsung wont improve this phone as far as defects go. Look at the vibrant lol
If you have a good one with no problems hold on to it man because I wish my luck was good enough to have a good one.
On my third one here, will use vmy black tie for another eventually. Shop around. I went to different best buys. Some get bad batched. One had 10 all with the creased glass screen. Another had none. Some of these phones were made days before the launch so though its disappointing, I believe there are good ones. I have one now but the stupid platinum case already scratched my phone.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
Like the poster above me, I would try to exchange at a completely different Best Buy. Bad batches are called so for a reason--the entire batch may be faulty.
I picked up my Nexus S at 8:00AM Launch Day and haven't had a single issue with it at all. I had to go through three MT4Gs before I returned it completely, and three G2s before I was satisfied with the last one(it still had issues, but at that point, I was tired of dealing with it). And on the screen coating thing: I don't know what coating people are talking about and if there is such a coating, then I think alot of folks are expecting too much out of it. Review/unboxing videos and my own device had fingerprints showing up the second people started using it. Do folks honestly expect touchscreen phones not to show fingerprints/smudges ever? That's unrealistic, imo.
And it's only under direct light(i.e. a directional lamp pointed right at it) that I see them at all. In day to day use, it's not an issue for me.
story like this, makes me feel a really really lucky guy, since i ordered mine by mail.
it'd have been a nightmare if it had any of those defects
I appreciate all the insight so far.....
If i do go back to an old one it would probably be the G2
but Im thinking of getting another one and fit it with a screen protector right away to stop this peeling garbage.

Have you tried returning your phone at another best buy? (if you can) as others have said, if your local store has a bad batch and sales are low you may keep getting units from the same batch.
Depending on the staff, you could also ask about the number of returns that store has had recently.
Seems a shame after 5 phones not to try once more in the hope you get a good one!

This doesn't sound like a bad idea whatsoever. Seriously... I'm on my 4th SNS. I just love it too much to give up. I did two swaps at one best buy, fully returned it and drove to another one. This one seems solid now, and I have a month if I change my mind, but if that's the case, I'll return it and go online. Sounds like you guys have been having luck, no?
If you look for defects you're going to find them.

So yesterday I had to go to the Apple Store to pick up warranty for my Macbook. While I was there I had to use my phone real quick to pull up a confirmation number. The Genius/Specialist helping me, took a look at my OPO and asked what phone it was. I told him all about it: the company, the phone's price, build, specs, and mission behind the phone. None of them believed me that the OPO cost as little as it does given the specs, and its unlocked I even pulled up the website on one of the display Macbooks. I kid you not atleast 3-4 other specialists and genius bar guys took a look at my phone and played with it, they felt the Sandstone back and were amazed by the build quality. They all wanted to know how they could buy a OPO and one of the specialists even said "I wish Apple would do something like this with the iPhone 6."
Apart from the invite system, supply, and some issues with the Yellow Banding. The OnePlus One is a definite game changer.
haha I wouldnt of let them touch my phone id just rub it in their faces
Sounds like OnePlus should hire you for their marketing department
Yep we don't all own iphones.

This.
Especially caseless as mine is right now.
After showing coworkers and managers my Nexus 5, and now my Oppo, along with their prices, the company I started working for which is 90% iPhones may be converting soon.
These phones are a absolute steal at the prices they sell them for.

So far I've got the two IT managers and my wife who want to switch to the OPO after seeing/handling mine. I figured this was gonna happen.
The phone's back is a feature in it's own self. Very unique and i've never felt anything like it before.
Next time. just rub it in their faces.
nice story thanks bra
That's how the guy at T-Mobile was. He had no idea what it was when I went in for a sim card. I let him check it out. Told him some specs and the price. He was kinda blown away by it.

Wouldn't that mean that their faces would touch it? That is kinda gross... Don't know if I would want all their Apple face juices on my phone...
Yeah, the IT manager in my division basically pulled a double take on my OPO and then his jaw dropped when I told him how much I paid for it (and how quickly I received it - we're in China, so opposite experience as OPO ex-China, and Xiaomi *in* China)

Hopefully op will make a notebook so you can get rid of your POS macbook.

The big question is.... did he ask for a invite afterwards?
But honestly, I think OnePlus should be giving out more invites and maybe even have a referral kinda system going on involving rewards. Its not much effort to impress somebody with the phone either, its so unique just by looking at it.
I think that's cool that they showed interest openly like that. I would expect the typical reaction from a Genius to be a barely discernable roll of the eyes and refusing to touch it because it's not Apple branded. The OPO is a very nice looking phone, I'm not surprised that many Apple fans will be interested in it.

Hey hey now, not all Apple workers/techs/engineers are fanboys outside work. I know I wouldn't touch an Apple product outside work. ;p

literally with the sandstone backing.. haha...:victory:
I was in a phones4you store(UK) yesterday and a couple of the guys in there were looking at my opo and to my amazement one of them rubbed it on his face which took me by surprise, I didn't know what to say to him.
They both thought that it was super smooth but one of them who has a note 3 thought that it was big but I didn't say anything as I was still shocked by him rubbing it on their face.
Plus one of them changed the profile on the phone when they were looking at it and after I got home it took me 30 minutes to figure out why I wasn't getting notifications for my emails.

That might be a bit much, it's not like he rubbed his face on my wife or anything
Did we just lose Rom support for Qualcomm?

No we didn't lose rom support. Just some small issues.

People kept nagging him about stuff that didn't work and what not when the roms were clearly in alpha phase and he even stated what worked and what didn't. He got sick of people being stupid and not reading so he closed them all.
Well that makes sense
Kinda sucks though
I was about to ask him if building MIUI would be hard lol

It's pretty sad that people think Qualcomm support is dead because I left. I'm nobody special. I can't believe nobody else has posted any ROMs other than squid2 and one guy just trying to spread around his donation link more trying to make money off other peoples work basically. I'm going to pm a select few of you guys with a link to somewhere we can do this on our own terms. I know you guys all probably think I'm a ****, but I'm really not. I got pissed because I very calmly and nicely responded to someone's comment, they responded back ending with "take a xanax", I took offense and reported them and I ended up with 2 infractions (my first ever) that I didn't quite understand. One was retracted after the fact. But anyway, don't worry I didn't go far.

I don't think you're a ****, I completely understand your frustrations. I had a mod give me an infraction over something completely irrelevant and stupid too on these forums. Literally my first infraction in 8 years.

It's all good man, I was a mod on phandroid and dabled a little here for a fraction of a second i get it.
I'd love to still help you test and do things lol, just got this phone and was like "yay something with ROMs!!! I can tinker!"
Then you went poof (with good reason) and I just said awe man XD just my luck.
Do what you need to to save your sanity
Those of us who get it will be here to play.

I would jump in, but I had to cut my home internet for financial reasons. I have the CDMA version so the current ROMs weren't of use to me yet. I feel kinda useless right now, lol. I might be able to go to an unlimited plan (another $15 a month) instead of my current 10GB. Just setting up my new phone (and wife's) used most of my data. I'll figure something out. Thanks for laying so much groundwork bro.

I hear you. I had to do the same thing being laid off for a while, waiting for a call from my union hall to go back to work. Also why I haven't acquired another E4 for testing, and can't have my phone down so I don't miss a call. If it wasn't for my unlimited plan with boost, I wouldn't be doing much right now. I can build a ROM way faster than I can upload it. Sometimes I go to a near by coffee shop and have a cup or 2 and make use of the free WiFi.
