[Q] Would you exchange the S4 for a G2 within the 14-day exchange window?

I've honestly been really pleased with the S4 but I hadn't looked into the G2 much before my purchase. I paid $250 for the S4 (with a $50 rebate available that I haven't sent in yet). The G2 seems to plainly be a higher spec'ed phone, that I could potentially get for as low at $140 with the current discount code available? What would you do if you were me?
Also, I used the trick where you upgrade a different phone line and then do a device switch to my unlimited line. Am I even able to easily exchange this phone while retaining my unlimited plan?

Love my new G2

I had the S4 and bought the G2 yesterday. Unfortunately, I was outside of my 14 day window, so I just sold it on CL and bought the G2 outright. Still only cost me around $250.
First impression after 24 hours with the phone: It definately feels snappier that the S4. Playing Riptide 2 the graphics and gameplay were noticeably better. The screen is amazing. Not that the S4's was bad, just that this is way more realistic. The wireless charging our of the box is great, and the 32GB of storage shoudl be plenty for me. THe only thing I don't like is that the default launcher has 5 accross on the homescreen instead of 4, so it makes a few widgets (facebook) look funny since you can't center them or make them take up the whole screen. Aside from that I love it, and the batterly life is much better due to the larger battery.
Now if we could only find root and recovery

I agree. Just got it yesterday and love it already. I can't wait for CM10 to be available too.

No, I probably wouldn't give up my S4 to the G2.

Mind elaborating at all? I actually wouldn't mind being talked out of this at all. I've been enjoying the S4 and this is just a classic case of "but... I can get more!" syndrome. I can't decide if it's warranted or not.

I talked about it here.

@OP, I have the S4 and debating on swapping for the G2 also. The biggest difference is processor and camera. The S4 is no slouch in both departments so it depends on what you really want.
I played with a G2 at a att store yesterday. Really great first impression but one thing stood out to me....the speaker was really really shockingly bad (imo)
Played a song on it and my s4 at the same time and it was significantly louder on my S4.
Battery is bigger on G2 but Samsung will eventually release an oem extended and (as everyone knows) you can get extended battery almost anywhere on the web if you're that concerned.
I may get the G2 just because I'm a phone whore but pretty satisfied with the S4. Lag is all but gone with updates

hmm
I wen't to turn in my S4 today at the store on day 19 of my buyers remorse period so I could order the G2 and use a loaner until it came but I decided to get an HTC One since Tmobile waived the restocking fee because of another issue, so now I have a new buyers remorse period starting today and when the G2 arrives at the store I will go check it out in person and decide. When it was G2 vs S4 I was ready to switch without ever touching a G2 but I have to say this HTC One is so frigging beautiful that the G2 will have to blow me away when I see it or I will just stick with the HTC. I too am a spec whore lol and It will eat at my soul that I could have a Snapdragon 800 hehe. I have a feeling even tho this One is so sweet looking that I will still want the G2, the knock on feature is a real selling point to me as is the fact that prior to the S4 I used an LG Optimus G that I thought was the perfect phone for quite awhile, I actually hated the S4 after only a few days.

Yes. Since I got my G2 my S4 has been sitting on my desk powered off. I can't wait to get rid of it.

haha same here. i may just hang on to it for my collection thouhg..as much as i love the G2 camera, i think teh GS4 cam might just be better in some aspects..meh.

Returned S4 for G2 yesterday. Today will be most of my testing but so far this thing is very impressive.
Sent from a van down by the river using my AT&T LG G2 and Tapatalk 4.

unless you're sold on touchwiz or abosulutely need more than 32gb of storage, there's no reason to keep the s4 if the g2 costs nothing extra. better screen, better internals, amazing battery. once we get bootloader unlock the phone will be a beast.
i went from a htc one to this phone, but i'm also a phone whore.

I still have both, but I would have GLADLY given up my S4 for this phone. That phone used to lag on me all the time. It was annoying. It takes about 1/3rd of the time to launch the gallery and camera on the G2 and there is no lag. Cameras are about equal if you don't factor in OIS, which is a huge benefit on the G2.
Here's the thing: There will always be more accessories and compatible apps for Galaxy devices. They are basically the iPhone of Android in that respect, but the G2 is a far better phone, in my opinion.
I was pleasantly surprised to discover that my Fitbit syncs directly with the G2, something that only worked with Galaxy devices previously. I have zero remorse and will be selling my GS4 pronto.

Happy owner of a new G2. Thanks for talking me into it.

I had the S4 for 3 months. I sold it to pay for the LG G2.
I would absolutely give up the S4 for G2. It's a night and day difference to me. I feel like LG took Touch Wiz and fixed 99% of my problems with it.
In regards to the hardware and software pairing... I think it's the best phone I've ever owned. I don't say this lightly. I just think it's that great.

I have had all of the galaxy series phones. This is by far the best phone I have used stock out of the box.

I actually ordered the s4 then called the next morning to cancel. I didn't even know about the g2 being released when I ordered the s4. Glad it worked out for me and the g2 arrives Tuesday.
I don't like physical buttons anymore and Samsung keeps using them. LG has what I want despite no sd card slot. But I can manage without it.

Note 4 regrets

Even though, there is no root for the device yet.. Does anyone regret purchasing their note 4?

If we never get root I might....

I've never rooted an android so I really don't know what it's capable of. But I'm very happy with my Note 4

None here!
Love the screen and fast charging - ive got unlimited and hotspot though and I dont pay for the phone or plan, so I'm kind of a shoe-in for being perfectly happy.

I'm neutral. My note 3 was worth $360 when I sold it. I paid full retail, minus $7360, minus the incoming $200 rebate, thus I'm out $200 after taxes and what not. However, I could sell this Note 4 tomorrow for $600, thus I'm holding $400, a $40 increase. So with my math, the phone was free.
Due to that, I don't regret it yet, but I sure do miss root.

if I don't get root, I'll regret and either sell this to downgrade to an s5, or downgrade to an international. both downgrades will cost me a lot out of pocket..

Why not just get the dev version?

I'm starting to regret my note 4 purchase, in fact I'm taking it back Friday, probably gonna go with the LG g3 that's what I was gonna get but was talked out of it. I like the note 4 but why all of this Knox crap. To much security for me, screw you verizon! Smart phones are fun but there actually a tool so be carefull.

A bit, only because of not having root. Having come from a T-Mobile note 2, Really annoyed at how locked down Verizon is.

I just switched from tmobile to Verizon, that was a good move cause verizon coverage and reliability is so much better. When I switched I was planning to buy the note 3 cause it was rootable but no one had it in Stock so I bought the note 4. No regrets at all but I will most likely sell the retail version to get the developer edition if root is not achieved soon.

Only a couple things that bother me because of lack of root, not being able to use Titanium and not being able to replace the God awful current version of Google Maps with version 6. The latter was remedied with the discovery of Waze so for now I am good on that front.
Other than that, nope, I LOVE the Note 4 and am good to go for a while.

I have not even used mine much yet. I got it on launch day, but with no root it's just collecting dust right now.
I'm still on my Note 3 with Jasmine rom most of the time. I'm starting to seriously think of selling off my Note 4 and getting the dev edition.

Well if you're really into custom roms which the note 4 obviously doesn't have then you may have a problem. But i had the g3.. The screen just wasn't up to par, extremely poor brightness (try using it in a well lit room or worst outside) the lag caused by the thermal throttling to keep the display from overheating the phone, it may sound like I'm bashing the g3 I'm not but it's just note good as the note in my opinion. It does have root though so Hey that might be the better choice for you.

Aren't you afraid that you'll open it and it will end up being defective? After 14 days, you're stuck with it. I already had to return one defective phone.

By still having unlimited data makes me want root really badly, but I am sure it will be here sooner or later. One thing I do have a thing about is the home button. Call me OCD, but man... it feels like I am double clicking all the time when I am pressing it. Anyone else having the same problem?

Returning G4 (810)

The LG G4 is one of the best phones I have owned. I truly appreciate it, however it has some nagging issues with carrier restrictions and as much as I hate to do it, my AT&T 810 G4 is going back. I am not happy about it, and may pick up an international (815) one soon, but I decided this one was going back.
Why Send it back?
No Root, No Bootloader Unlock
AT&T Bloatware
AT&T Disabled FM Radio
AT&T OTA pushes
Leather back felt cheap, and I could not find a good case to fit it
Nexus 5 2015
This is a great phone, and I have nothing against functionality or performance.
Whats Next?
Returning to my trusty HTC One M7 (For Now)
See what happens with the Nexus 5 2015
Might pickup an LG G4 815 International
Wait and see where developers go with unlocking the G4

Root and unlock will happen, the leather back I have feels high class (t-mo brown) you can freeze bloat with de-bloater tool (all mine is) I dont use the radio (too many apps to use it, plus some of them have local radio) ota-cant help that... I'll most likely get the Nexus 5 as. Well....while keeping this phone.....you did admit its a great phone!

OP has all fair points. Not mad.. but sorry to see you go.

Laters.

Looks like you need to buy a phone full price, no carrier BS.
Sorry to see you go, but I completely understand. I have seen things in this forum that US carriers do to that phone and I have no idea WTF they are thinking.
As for root, I have faith.:good:

Sadly, mine's going back as well. As much as I like the phone, there are currently too many things that annoy me. I'm with Verizon, so the missing apps started me out on the wrong foot. Then throw in LG and/or Verizon not honoring the $100 GB of Google Drive storage as promised, and the touchscreen issues. Finally, I got a notice from Verizon and my bill went up $23 instead of dropping a couple bucks which two Best Buy reps assured me it would. I spoke to a Best Buy manager, and they agreed to return the phone a month after I purchased it (as well as cancel the Edge plan).
All in all, it's a great phone but it's not significantly better than my trusty G3 (slightly better CPU, camera, battery etc...) enough to offset the additional expense. I have a bunch of accessories for the G4 that I'm holding onto, so I'll probably pick one up further down the road. I'd opt for the international version for obvious reasons. I assume that the unlocked version will work fine on a CDMA network with the proper set-up.
UPDATE: Nope... I guess I'm keeping it. After two Verizon reps assured me that I could cancel my Edge agreement, when the time came to do so the rep I got said in no uncertain terms that it wasn't going to happen. So even though Best Buy admitted that they screwed up and offered to return the phone AND twice Verizon said otherwise, I'm now told that I would have to buy out the remainder of the contract. I can't complain too much, since I got the $100 Best Buy gift card and Verizon kicked in a $145 bill credit for the mistake.

Unlocked International won't be a good idea..... As long as Verizon doesn't transition to full LTE and still uses CDMA till 2017, this won't work as voice won't go over GSM...

Actually holding back from the G4 because of those as well. Let's see what this year's Nexus have to offer and probably the OnePlus Two as well.

I did the same. Unless there is a viable unlock + root option no LG G4 for me!

Yep, I am waiting to. I may head back to LG4 if there is an unlock and root option.

I can certainly respect your decision, even if I would not do the same thing. Sorry that you did not get as much out of your G4 as you were expecting that you would, I just hope you can find a phone that fits your needs and you can have more fun with.
BTW - That Nexus 5 2015 does sound pretty promising, if you pick one up be sure to let me know how it is.

im in the same boat, Att H810 have the least number of bands out of all G4 variants, so I can't get data even when I unlock the phone to use in Asia.
But I am already past my 14 days period so fml.

Call recorder. This is a must have app for everyone who interacts with any business at all. They're always going to record your call for 'quality assurance', which automatically gives you the right to record it as well (at least in California) without informing them. Always good for CYA situations like this.

Should I buy the moto? Are you guys happy with it? Or should I get the giant nexus.

According to this post, 8 CUSTOM ROMs so far on Marshmallow (plus more if you include Lollipop) means no custom ROMs available for this phone...

Coming from a Verizon Note 5 I do not miss or regret switching to the Moto at all. The only thing that is better is the camera and that's not by much at all. Having a unlocked bootloader, root and some great custom ROMs to play with is well worth the switch. It runs sweet on stock Marshmallow too.

The note series are the best phones money can by specs wise I owed each one up till Note 4 but with the loss of the MicroSD on N5ote and inability to root (Verizon edition), I sold my Note 4 and moved to Moto X. As someone else had shared, the only thing I miss is the better camera quality.

Good choice, I've tried a bunch of phones this year and decided the Mxpe is the best overall phone available. That could change soon with the new phones coming but for the price and ability to unlock and customize with Roms and xposed mods it don't think it can be beat, even by the nexii.
Give us a reply after you spend some time with it. I'm running truepurex 2.6 ROM with xposed, gravity box, minminguard ad blocker, and YouTube adaway. GPS high accuracy, Google location history on and paired with pebble watch and get great performance and battery life.

As a matter of fact I did and just returned a V10 yesterday. The only better thing from my point of view is the removable battery and camera witch it isn't by much. I was going to purchase one through Verizon on their payment plan that would have cost about $10.00 a month but decided against it. I didn't want to be into Verizon for the payment plan plus no root, unlocked bootloader or Marshmallow really did it in for me. I know how Verizon and LG are slow with phone updates. Plus I really don't care for the 2nd screen. I know it can be turned off but I would lose the on screen notifications when the phone is idle. Other than that the V10 is a great phone and very well built. It definitely takes some great pictures but the Pure is up there too.

$500.00 seems like a good price and being T-Mobile you can do whatever you want with it. Honestly if I could have a unlocked bootloader and root I would have kept it but I have to stick with Verizon because they treat me good. I did settle for a G4 for a bit over $200.00 to play with.

Thanks for the advice.
Thinking about it I think I will pass.
Snapdragon 808 does not really need 4gb or RAM.
And I don't really wabt to buy anything from eBay.
Plus I should save some money and wait for the next gen that is going to be out by the end if this year.

No problem. I think you made a better choice to wait and see what comes out next. That's partly why I picked up a cheap G4 for a 2nd phone to mess with.

I just realized.
The Nexus 6p is the same price as LG v10. And I did. It get that one since I got the Moto for 375 on Amazon.
Damn you buyers remours. Damn you my sweet capitalist way of life.

But in general. I love the Moto. Much better then the note and much faster (believe it or not).
The display and camera are the best but Samsung (being Samsung) screwed the OS and user experience completely.
Hopefully I can make a quick buck on the note 5.

Buy, it's an excellent phone!
Nexus 6P with Chroma rocks!

This is probably the millionth thread asking this exact question. Read the others.

Wait

Toss a coin, see a lawyer, read the other threads, etc...

Read the other threads.
Anyway buy if you need one ASAP.

It's a great phone!! I purchased a 64gb on amazon 2 weeks ago and have zero regrets. Remember that the next "flagship phone" is always on the way!! If you like it buy it

I've gone back three pages and didn't see another thread on this...I'm sure they exist but who wants to dig?
Anyway, I've owned two of these devices and had issues with both. The first one at launch was the plain aluminum, which I sent back because I wasn't happy with the feel. It felt "hollow" for lack of a better word. I don't know how to explain it; coming from the Nexus 6, I expected this solid aluminum beast like the HTC M7 when it came out.
The second one, a couple of months later, was the black, which had the weird pinkish screen hue going on. On top of that, when I bought a couple of different cases, the removal of said cases caused the phone to tweak and bend. But not bend as in bend test videos, rather if you took one hand and grabbed the top, other hand grabbed the bottom, and twisted it (top twist left and bottom twist right). My phone didn't sit flat on a table after that, so I returned it.
I've read around that some of the most recently manufactured units have a fixed screen, so I'm thinking about giving this a third try. I've since moved on to an iPhone 6s+, but still have my Nexus 5, 6 and Galaxy S6 Edge+.

I have a thread created here that is similar, OP.
I want this device as well, but instead of posing a question "Do I ..." I posed the question "Would YOU buy this phone again tomorrow"
The question really isn't whether there are good deals out there for this device, it's whether or not a year into this device people are still happy with it, and on XDA that's a hard thing to get a yes on..
There were some things that have come up with the best buy deal... For instance it's my understanding that if you buy from Best Buy you will only have Huawei's warranty and not Google's... Might make you look elsewhere?
Anyways... Good luck. Ill be picking mine up this week somewhere

I bought a refurb for $316 from BB. Arrived in like new condition. I would think twice about paying $399 for this. The only reason I purchased the 6p because I will be travelling overseas and need a new phone. My 2013 Moto X is aging and very frustrating to use. If you are in no hurry, wait.

Yeah... True...
I have a V10 that is not going away. I really am picking this phone up to satisfy my flashing needs, plus it's a nexus phone!!!
It will probably be something I use as a daily driver at some point... Maybe... I have 2 batteries for my V10, an external charger for the spare, and a 200gb SD card.. I can't see me choosing the 6P over the V10 to keep with me on the go, or with my sim in it ... That may change...
You like the refurb? I thought about buying the refurb... Don't want to get screwed out of the Google warranty...

I bought mine @ Amazon/PrimeDay for $370/64gb plus tax with Prime free same day shipping, so keep checking Amazon website.

I sold mine S7 Edge, then bought HTC 10 which was a disaster (battery life literally was going down 4-5% when idle) and decided to use vanilla android. i see no difference in day to day use/look & feel compared to my previous phones

For me, the most important difference that I like is that Google's phones are updating more frequently (monthly now) than others. Official Nougat is just around the corner for Nexus phones but others have to wait!!!

Just picked up a Gold 64G for $350 privately. Good deal I thought.

BUY....no WAIT....no BUY.....no WAIT.....I'm not sure....what was the question again?

I just picked mine up from Best Buy today. Love it, I'm going for a marriage license.
