I think I got a free atrix... Pls reply

Has anyone else received the phone and not been charged for it? I've asked in a couple different post but nobody has seemed to answer me.
I pre-ordered last sunday, gave all my info, and less than a day later, my bank acct said charges pending for $380 something for the phone and otterbox. I noticed a few days later the charges were no longer pending I figured they were just verifying that the funds were there.
I received the atrix today, and still have the same amount of money in my acct that was there when I ordered the phone. Which makes me nervous and happy... I really don't want the money to be charged to my wireless bill next cycle.
Has this happened to anyone else before? How would I go about checking on this without openly confessing to at&t about the mishap? Any ideas??? Any input would be greatly appreciated!

Same here bro.

Yea... it's more likely that it's just taking a day or two extra for the charge to actually post than it is to have recieved the phone for free. I've also had the same thing happen too when i ordered my iPhone 4 if i remember correctly.

It is also a bank holiday today so that might have affected them charging you.. or at least the way the bank reports it. It prob. will post in the morning.

Idts my local chase was open today.

I work in banking, count those 2 charges that fell off as gone from your bank account. They definitely will come back, usually when you have forgot about them... Some companies lag when finalizing the transaction. I guess AT&T is one of them LOL

It all depends on the bank. Some banks observe Presidents Day as a national holiday.... some don't.

HTC Hot Deals 11/11 - $300 HTC One, who nabbed one?

I can happily say I'll be back in the HTC One family as soon as mine ships! I managed to nab a $300 Developer edition HTC One, really excited about getting it
I'm currently back on a Nexus 5 to try Lollipop, but I'm selling it as soon as the One hits my doorstep.
Did anyone else take advantage of this sale? It wasn't as alluring as grabbing the new Nexus 9 at $199 (which, for the record, d move to do on 24 hours after releasing it), but it was still a great deal for anyone looking for a flagship phone at (probably) less than half price.

I already got a T-Mobile M8. And I was able to nab a glacier silver unlocked edition. For 299 lol. No nexus 6 for me

I got one for the sole purpose of making a profit by selling it, considering that I already have an m8 that I bought at $800 when it first came out!

Got one - I assume, the page crashed when I submitted my order, but got the order email and they charged my card, I to have the nexus 5, not sure which one I'll keep, pass the other down to my son.
Depends on which has better audio ?

Yeah I'm actually on the exact same boat right now with the nexus 5. Overall the HTC is a better phone (hardware wise - especially audio-wise, for both recording and output). There's obviously more profit to be had by just selling the One in-box though.
I've had the One before, it's an awesome phone. It just got a little too banged up without a case/skin so I traded it in. Letters came off and all that - I just never said anything in the forum. Definitely not making that mistake again though; I'm putting a thin case or skin on it.
I think I've come to the realization that even better than having the "best" or newest phone (I.e. nexus 6 or 6 plus or Note 4), is having gotten one of the best deals. So, good-enough value trumps newness. Maybe, maybe not. We'll see.

Thank you for ordering on HTC. Unfortunately, one or more of the products you ordered is currently out of stock and could not be shipped. The product(s) has been placed on backorder and will be shipped as soon as stock becomes available. You will receive another email notification when your order has actually shipped.

Yeah that's true. Did you get the emails for "order submitted" and "order confirmation?"

Yep, good to go on that front

Did u check your order status online?

What an awesome deal man.

N6 on sale on Ebay, with a twist :)

I ordered one of these....with almost 100k positive ratings is it really possible that it's a scam listing? It was on eBay featured deals?!?! EBay will have close to 400 disputes to settle if this is true!!

Seems to be true sadly. Same username, same location, item is now out of stock.

Because it is out of stock further indicates to you that it is a fraudulent post? How so?

Report back I guess. Feedbacks can be easily faked, scammers always do it. But it looks like its the same company and located in the same town as printed in that newspaper. Maybe guy out of jail and switched to more legit business

Did you read the article? CellularStream was one of the names used by the person selling the phones. Check the ebay page next. CellularStream is his business name on ebay. Duh.

The news article is from 2012 though....

Well guys....I got a tracking number lol. We'll see what in gods name shows up on my doorstep next week lol.

Do you guys recommend any ways to verify the phone? I was thinking cpu-z to verify the internals as well as maybe looking in the boot loader.

Open the box carefully, if its ticking then stay away..... If you see Made in Russia then its not a good sign
But seriously, maybe verify serial with Google or Motorola...

So it arrived, everything seems normal so far. It's a Sprint nexus 6 while the listing made it appear as an unlocked nexus 6 from Google play rather than a carrier version. I'm going to try activate it and verify internals a bit later. I've been reading I should be able to use it on T-Mobile no problem, but it includes sprints ****ty hands free activation in the system partition. Some places say its necessary for use even if not using it on Sprint. Hopefully I can do more research and uninstall it or even better wipe everything and install a good custom rom.

Got mine yesterday. Factory sealed. Had a Sprint Sim in it. Couldn't activate on Verizon via the web last night, but took it into a store this morning and they gave me a new sim. Activated without a hitch. Shows Nexus 6 Non-VZN Phone on my account.
Working fine.

The very first post.

For a very similar amount, you can buy it from Amazon Spain. Google Nexus 6 - Smartphone libre Android (pantalla 5.96", cámara 13 Mp, 32 GB, Quad-Core 2.7 GHz, 3 GB RAM), azul https://www.amazon.es/dp/B00OLSTJR2/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_GsqHvb2SXC5V3

Hardware wise, all US Nexus 6's are the same. You can wipe it and install whatever you want.

I purchased one of these and it arrived today. Came with a Sprint SIM and a locked bootloader. The phone is a legit Nexus 6. I updated to 5.1.1, unlocked the bootloader and rooted the phone easily.

I also got mine, was the sprint version as everyone else. Unlocked and flashed tmobile image and worked fine.

That's nice. Maybe guy switched to legit business after serving some time

"Please allow up to 6 weeks for fulfillment."

I originally received a response for the 360 cam saying it was refused because I didn't sign the receipt. I printed another copy, signed it, and submitted it again. That was about 7 days ago. Today I received an email saying my entry was accepted for the camera. I have still not received anything regarding the extra battery.

You can check the progress on your battery promotion by going back to the site where you filled out the form in the first place. I checked and it says still processing.
Sent from my LG-H830 using Tapatalk

Like others, I've heard back on the 360 cam, but nothing on the battery. The whole reason I buy a phone with a removable battery is so I can swap and right now if it were available, I would buy a spare battery and charger but LG says they are not available for purchase yet. I cannot stand having to plug in and charge so hopefully we get our freebies soon or the option to buy.

Well I spoke too soon, just got the confirmation email on the battery promotion. Says 4-6 weeks for delivery.

Just got mine this morning too. The battery and cradle are on their way!

Quick question: I've already received my battery from the promotion, but it seemed like the camera/battery thing was an either/or situation so I thought I had to pick between the two and decided on the battery. It looks like some of you are getting both! That's awesome!
My main question is, when I go to the promotion site and click on the camera, it asks about "participating retailers". Did any of you go to a store that was explicitly promoting this? Because I don't think mine was, and kinda don't want to go through the effort... unless this is your situation too, in which case, I totally will.

The terms and conditions says something to the effect that if phone was sold at official store or authorized seller your eligible it looks like best buy purchased g5 ineligible
So it's worth the try... It's only 5 minutes out of your life

The participating retailers quote raised an eyebrow for me too and technically I had to order by phone through T-Mobile's site since they didn't have it at the physical store but I was told by both T-Mobile customer support and the store employee that I was eligible for the camera. I already received my battery (took ~3 weeks) but the camera has been under "status: Verifying Claim" for about a week and a half.

Got my battery today still waiting for the camera

Thank you both, I've submitted the information- I was mistaken the when I first looked... I thought I was going to have to physically mail them the UPC code from the box and immediately didn't want to deal with the hassle. This is obviously not the case. I'll report back if there's any movement!

Well, I submitted for the camera and it was approved too! Again, this wasn't advertised in the store and I literally wouldn't have know about this promotion had I not clicked on a banner ad advertising it.
I also submitted for the battery for my wife's G5 and that's on the way, and I just submitted again for the camera- and I should point out, today (the 24th) is the last day to do so, so if you're gonna at least try, get on it!

I received my shipping notification for the 360 Cam this morning.
Shipped today via UPS, scheduled arrival not until May 18.

Where can I find an original battery replacement for my g4 plus?

Hi. So I purchased my phone last month and I wanted to know (when time comes and if needed) where can I get original batteries. So far I've been looking out on the Internet without success. I tried Amazon, ebay (only have seen cheap knock offs).

But it's cheaper without tax and its not in general. If you need it faster, you must pay more, that's normal. I never had trouble with customs and ordered a lot from China here.

Actually I bought several replacements for other phones and Chinese knock offs are the worst you could buy. That's why I asked. And boy does it matter where you buy from. US sellers are less likely to sell you crappy batteries.
Yeah and the waiting time oc it's another issue.

replaced battery
i did replace my battery with this one already after 4 months:
(cant post links as of new user) search german amazon.de for "vhbw moto g4 plus battery"
i figured my battery to be faulty after random shutdowns occured, after which the phone always showed altering battery percentages ranging vom 0-80%. first i (and customer service of course) suspected google maps to be faulty after an update. but after i replaced the battery the shutdowns disappeared.

Btw how much a battery replacement would cost now?
