I'm currently on a lumia 900 and i really think its a S***hole phone. I was about to buy a nexus 4 from my friend, but we can't decide on the price. The only flaws on the phone is just wear and tear, no dings/dents. Only minor scratches on the rim. Can someone help give me a price quote for a 16gb Nexus 4 with this description.

The fairest way to value an item is to look on ebay for completed auctions. This is a fair way for both of you to come to a price. Make sure when you look through the completed auctions you try to find similar wear& tear listings. Best if you take a handful of these auctions and average those prices out.
Buy from Swappa.

Depends on what sort of mate he is, if I was selling mine to a friend I think $ 100 is reasonable. You might be lucky and get $100 to $ 200 for your Lumia on eBay and do a straight swap in a round about way.

You might also want to check how old is the device. Since the battery is not replaceable (there are ways though), teh capacity to hold charge degrades over a period of time. Just saying to consider these factors to decide on a price.

In that case, do consider such costs in valuating the n4
Maybe this was obvious to all of you, but it just occurred to me. IMO, the most likely reason Samsung is trying to pull the Note 4 off the shelves is: Samsung Pay.
Think about it. How much money will they make selling the rest of their Note 4 stock? Vs. how much money will they make charging a nickel (or whatever) for each and every one of millions upon millions of transactions? You can only charge for a phone once. You can charge for a transaction over and over again.
They seeded the market with the S6 and S6 Edge, and now that they have the Note 5 and Edge +, they don't want Note 4s eating into that.
Excellent business move, IMO. Only time will tell if it pays off.

They are not recalling Note 4s. T-Mobile still lists it as available and Best Buy is still selling them. But Sprint has made a choice to discontinue carrying it...perhaps it is the limited CDMA technology and it was a decision between Sprint and Sammy...maybe to force more sales of the Note 5..but seems to be a lot of other factors involved.
Also think this should have been posted in the existing discussion here
Yep, I bought mine from T-Mobile, AT&T and verizon are still selling both the note 4 and 3, so it's something on sprint's end.

Not to mention you can not charge over and over again for a transaction, I think you meant to say charge customers over and over again for their many transactions.

Yes, that should have been obvious from the previous sentences. One charge per transaction, millions upon millions of transactions.
Best to continue theories why Sprint chose to no longer sell the Note 4 here
I talked to tmobile on their twitter help page and then called them. The rep told me on the phone I can keep the device if I like and when they get replacements in they will ship the replacement FIRST and then I can send them back my original Note 7. I ordered mine via the store so I have to deal with corporate. Tmobile help page told me the same thing I can keep my Note and simply swap it out but said I can have it shipped to the store too.
I hope this is the case and I can have it shipped to my house and simply send the old one back. The only store near me is always busy and their staff is a PITA to deal with.
I do have an S7 to use as a backup but hate the small screen and I don't want to get a refund then have to wait for that to be put back on the card.
I am watching the V20 too. I might be out next week BUT we know how the G5 has issues and turned into a major flop. I'd hate leaving the Note and it ends up the V20 is a POS phone and stuck with a worse phone.
I just called them, they said bring it back to the store for a full refund or a new phone. Replacements aren't even available yet , why can't people just be competent, not asking for a genius, just basic competency.

You mean the reps? I think Tmobile is being pretty straight forward, so far compared to the other carriers who are not even really sure what to do yet. Overall though I hate the reps especially the ones in the stores. Most are clueless. The store basically says if you ordered it you have to go through Tmobile and the store won't issue a refund.
What problems did the G5 have?

I hear battery life and the modules some were reporting they become loose over time and durability issues too I've seen people talk about. Overall a crap device that was hyped a lot before launch. I don't want to get a v20 and it has issues and is a crap phone. At least with the Note I know what I'm getting.

The V20 is gonna be a monster. I actually owned the V10 and it was a power house. Very durable. V20 would be the only reason for me leaving Note 7

From a business perspective, this is not the result of incompetence. They know that trial lawyers are waiting around for the first Note 7 from T-Mobile to burn so they can hit them (and Samsung) with a class-action lawsuit. If that happens, the cost to T-Mobile will be huge, so they are trying to get the Note 7s back ASAP, even though they aren't ready for it. This is a totally unexpected event. They didn't stockpile alternate phones in the last few weeks in preparation for a bunch of people trading back their brand-new Note 7s.
They should allow a pre order replacement so not everyone is calling them or everyone going to the store at once when the new phones are available. It's gonna get chaotic.

Thing is there is no official time line of events. Who knows how the failure works and when, not saying most will be affected but saying it hasnt happened yet isnt really concrete proof it wont ever happen.
Like the ring of death on the Xbox 360.
Also no phone should explode if you are using a different charger. Thats again a failure of the manufacturer

I posted a similar post yesterday, I've seen it with HTC and Samsung where a few months into sales of a phone they seem to silently switch manufacturing to another vendor or use cheaper parts I guess to improve profits.....so my thought is now with this whole recall and it's cost to the bottom line will Samsung (A) Keep everything quality wise the same and take the full hit? or (B) Save every penny they can short of the battery pack? (i.e cheaper made camera parts from cheaper vendor etc)
You know someone on the boards the other day brought up a good point.
If the CPSC gets involved with this (as of now they are NOT) it will be illegal to sell a note 7 that has been recalled. So if you were going to sell your faulty Note 7 on ebay or something
it would be illegal.
So i would def get a replacement if you are planning to sell down the road.
My wife and I will trade ours in when they get the replacements in stock. We're not going to trade it in just quite yet.
its my understanding that T Mobile US might not be affected by the recall at all, and we all might not wind up needing new phones.
Since Verizon is not selling note 7 anymore. They are all canceling the note 7 contracts and giving your upgrades back and billing your credit for what you have paid for the payments plan back.

I am thinking of going to a LG V20. First I will check to determine whether it might end up having a Verizonized Interface like the Note 7. I guess checking in with the V10 and G5 owners be a good indicator. If so, bye bye VZW! If we keep the Note 7s, we'll never see Nougat (or any update). I might even put up with the crappy resolution and go with an Iphone 7 plus (401 or 402 ppi .......Yeacccch!)
I'm hoping they'll let customers keep their note 7's as they're not going to refurb them, since it's being cancelled altogether.
I haven't been able to confirm nor deny whether it's possible to keep the note 7, but I'm hoping.

It looks like you are correct. I just logged into my business account and it suddenly shows that line eligible for an upgrade.
128gb Pixel XL in Silver just ordered. I'm done with phone swaps. I still keep the 2gb monthly bonus data. Unfortunately the Pixel isn't eligible for the Annual Upgrade Program which was a big part of why I bought the Note 7 knowing if it was poor it was only for 12 months. Did it online so they charged a 20 dollar upgrade fee. I will be calling tomorrow to get that refunded along with 35 bucks for the hand laid carbon fiber case I bought for the Note 7 that is now worthless... even as a paperweight lol. I'm also going to make sure I get the 300 dollar (over 24 months) credit for the Note 7 trade in and the Daydream Viewer. Even if I don't get the 35 bucks for the case I can sell the Gear VR, 256gb SD card and Fit 2.... It'll work out.

why would they if you bought them from best buy?
Was a rhetorical question really. I wouldn't expect V to refund me for something I bought elsewhere. Still sucks though. I sure hope Best Buy will honor a refund given the circumstances.
The thing that ticks me off is that the N7 had pretty much dominant specs when compared to other 2016 model phones/phablets but it is what it is.
What other modern phones (on vzw) are root friendly and have big ars screens? Was eyeballing the pixel but No MicroSD is a big bummer for me and who knows about rooting Android N (7.1) Moto Z looks pretty nice. Apple is NOT an option. Made that mistake already for 4years.

"In an effort to make up for its Galaxy Note 7 blunder, the company is reportedly considering Note 7 customers a discount offer on next year's Samsung Galaxy S8, S8 Plus and Galaxy Note 8 (if the company doesn't kill the Note series entirely.) The source of the report adds that the discounts would also target customers who have since refused to return their Note 7s thus far, with only 10 percent of about 500,000 sending the fire prone devices back."
I hope mine survives till then lol. But that's exactly what I've been waiting for them to announce.
There's no other phone I want to replace mine with right now.

When the note 8 comes out I promise you people will start saying it's catching on fire. We will be lucky if it isn't immediately canceled and the line renamed. There are still lots of note 7s out there and yet we are no longer hearing about fires. A great deal of those claims were bogus. There definitely was a screw up by Samsung and all and it needed both recalls and the subsequent cancellation but why are we not hearing about any more fires? I've searched and searched and seen nothing. I'm not a conspiracy theorist but companies have been caught sabotaging others before. I don't believe that happened here but I am concerned about the note 8 with fraudulent lying *****es and at the very least the .00000000000000000001 percent chance of someone trying to cause a recall. Again. I don't believe there was or will be any company conspiracy but I'm just saying, there were bogus claims proven to be false and we are no longer hearing of any more fires...the damage of people claiming their note 8 burns up would be even worse then this time.

I still have mine and not planning on returning unless I'm forced to, but I think one reason why you haven't heard of any phones catching on for us because supposedly 85% of phones have been returned.
I personally agree with you and seeing how I have yet to have any issues with mine, I think some of those claims were bogus.
