They've had this offer since last month but its online only so don't expect the local stores to honor it.

This deal also applies to new customers only.... ugh.

Yes you are correct about the lack of contracts, however you can still be a new or existing customer on T-Mobile. I bought this phone for my mom on our family plan and she was not eligible for the free charger (or free anything for that matter) because we were not "signing up" on T-Mobile, just simply upgrading her phone.

my parents have been t-mobile customers since the 96 never changed and my dad got a free accecory whith his s4

If you upgrade in a store you should be able to get freebies. When I got my Nexus early in the year I got a free car charger and free Skullcandy headphones. Last week my wife got the galaxy s3 LTE edition and she got an extra wall charger, body glove case and a power bank all for free. Don't be afraid to ask "so if I get the phone today are there any free accessories with it?"

true today i went to t-mobile and my cousin bought a white nexus 4 they gave him 2 free accesories cuz he paid in full he got the screen protectors and a case for his girlfriends s4 t-mobile can be really nice sometines but sometimes they can be a pain in the neck

i got one
I just went in for my upgrade on monday and i got a free wireless charger in store

I had a mixed bag this week with t-mobile. After being told over the phone that the nexus wasn't available for current customers right now at all (I'd called because it wasn't showing up online) and hung up on when i protested i swore i would never buy anything from them again.
2 days later my gnex ate it and I was forced to go into the store. Not only was he happy to sell me a nexus 4 but I also got the charger and a case for free.
I can't put my phone down long enough for the charger to be useful for me though. So it's now on ebay. When it sells it'll be like getting a free phone and $30 cash.....and then only having to pay $17 a month for 2 years... should wipe out the price difference between t-mobile and the play store though.

is this the stock google wireless charging ORB? i have that cheap chinese POWERQI charger, got it for like 40bucks shipped, its a POS! u get what u pay for i guess
it doesn't keep the the phone topped up charge, so if you forget to take it off the chager after 2-3 hours, you'll only get like 80% , not 100%

I went to a Verizon store and picked up the WCP-300 for $40 + tax and I love it. I haven't had a bit of trouble with it, and now I'm using it in the car with that cradle that was designed for it (before that I used a rubber band to hold it on my regular car cradle).

I went to T-mobile during the sale just because of this offer to upgrade to the Nexus 4 from my SGS3 and they said that "In order to get the wireless charger accessory with my purchase I had to be a 'new t-mobile customer'. After spending about 2 hours on hold trying to reach a Customer Service representative on the phone, I finally gave up and just bought the device from T-mobile without the accessory the next day, but not before they decided to raise the price of the nexus 4 $5..
Has anyone had any luck getting the charger as a returning customer?

verizon tbolt replacement

so i decided to go ice skating with my tbolt in my pocket cause i was gonna take videos of my sister falling down. i left the evo and my work bb in the locker cause i wouldnt need three phones.
well wouldnt you know, i was the first to fall and shattered the tbolt screen near the bottom. basically on screen keyboard down.
anyway, since i just got on verizon service less than two weeks ago i go to their store for help. they cant replace it and require me to call asurion. so i do and fill out their online forms. turns out ill have my phone tomorrow. they are also shipping a new memory card, battery, and home charger! i just need to swap my sim over and i should be good to go.
oh..it was only $99 and the overnight (or two day - you choose) is free.
just wanted to pass that info on.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
which means that you are paying $7 a month for the asurion insurance through verizon. stinks that you have to pay a deductible, I ran my phone over with my car and Best Buy's protection plan got me a brand new phone with no deductible, although I paid $10 a month for it.
What information exactly are you trying to relay to us?

I've found their insurance to be crap you have to wait a month for them to ship you a new one and then pay 150 for a phone to use while you wait

Wait for the Charge or not?

So Verizon has now announced they will cap data which makes this even harder.
The price of the charge is too much currently because I don't have a job. Hopefully will have one here soon but that is still any where from 2 - 4 weeks from a possible first pay check.
I would like to have the charge but unless the price drops tomorrow I am not sure it will happen. I want to get grandfather with unlimited data hopefully and was wondering should I wait a risk it or go for a sub $200 phone?
If so which one?
Wait
Sent from my SCH-I510 using XDA Premium App
Well depends on what you are looking for. I could have waited, but the 4.3" SuperAmoled screen, the hard buttons, and the camera/camcorder sold me. To me that made sense instead of waiting on this Bionic that may surface later, with probably the same crappy motorola camera. Beleive me, I have had original Droid and Droid X and although great phones I still love my Droid Charge over them. I have grown to love Samsung phones.
Well I would love the charge for the screen and 4g capabilities but at the same time it is still new and has its issues.
The reason for me having to wait would be for a job and to get the money to pay for it. My parents are will to pay for a sub $200 smart phone. They both have the Droid X's.
Is the wait for 4g worth it or for the next two years will 3g still be the leader or will 4g have taken over? With the charge part of the thought was that I would be future proofing myself you could say for the 4g to come.
Not sure if this changes your situation at all, but costco has the Charge for 179.99 which is by far cheaper than everywhere else. Just got mine yesterday. Great deal plus you get 90 days to exchange the phone if you don't like it. I will likely never get a phone through anyone but Costco going forward as long as this policy and their great pricing is in place.
How would I go about getting it from there if I already am on a plan with Verizon and I just want to upgrade my phone?
sam's
Sam's is actually cheaper than Costco, cause they give you a sale price and not a rebate, they dont charge tax on the full 300 like Costco.. that being said.. Costco does free activation and free accessories.
Also online from Sams it is 130. In store still 175.
Is it possible to get the phone itself and upgrade or do you have to get the plan through store? Cause if so I don't think that will work for me.
Costco has this phone on sale(until Jul6th or 7th I think) for $179.99, they give a free extended warranty, free car charger, 2 free screen protectors and a free leather case that clips onto your belt(that's where I got my charge, I really only cared about the discount but look at all the free crap!) Also I think Amazon just lowered their price of the Charge to $179.99 as well, just doesn't come with free crap.
I could have waited for the Galaxy S2 to hit Verizon(or the U.S. in general) but that seems to be ages away, especially considering the tiered data plans are coming on the 7th, same reasons I didn't wait for the Bionic, and neither of them have physical buttons(the GS2 has a physical home but the other 2 are capacitive and that sucks.. seriously that would have been a flawless phone if they hadn't done that)
Thanks to you guys telling me about the other sites selling the charge for cheaper then from Verizon I was able to order it today.

I tried to check all morning but i can't find any retailers who's selling these in Canada. Only in ebay , 60$ for the charger + 12$ shipping, plus tax, not worth it.

I couldn't find one at any Verizon store. Tried several around Jacksonville, FL. None had it or knew anything about it. I was willing to pay the $50 for instant gratification, but it didn't pan out. Anyone who can get them should pick up a few and resell them, either at cost or make a few bucks.

I did the same in the Orange Park and Fleming Island area. I got a speech from one store saying they were removed because they are dangerous and wireless charging causes fires. LOL.

I bought one off Ebay in OEM (crap) packaging for $57. The seller had 70units. Unfortunately it arrived DOA so I am hoping he still has a replacement available when the RMA gets back to him. I've paid shipping twice now and will actually end up being about $80 (if he still has one) :crying:
"holiday12" is the code. It's good until Dec 7th.
thanks for that but it says out of stock
Nexus slides right off if you r not using a case so i went to my local walmart and bought some sticky bumpers it doesnt look pretty but had to be done

A Qi Charger for my N4 in Canada?

Have any of you managed to buy a Qi charger for the Nexus 4 (aside from the official one - doesn't work with my Ballistic case) that's actually available in Canada?
I've heard good things about the WCP-300 but it's not available here. Even the Nokia chargers that don't work with the N4 aren't available in Canada. Is there something about Canadian law that prevents them from selling them here (RF interference or something)? It's really frustrating.
I don't want to end up paying $30 shipping and duty on a $50 item! Argh.

As a follow-up, I ended up buying two WCP-300s from a Verizon store in Las Vegas while I was there on vacation. Still no luck getting them in Canada.
Best Buy in Vegas was out of Chromecasts too

What to do with a damaged Nexus 5

Hi,
My girlfriend recently got a Nexus 5 on a $50/month plan to replace her Samsung Galaxy Note 2 where she broke the LCD screen for the second time. I helped her look for a more solid phone case and ordered a Ballistic shell gel case for $30. Unfortunately she dropped her Nexus 5 yesterday before the case arrived, and now she's very distraught that she dropped her shiny new phone. Fortunately only the plastic got damaged, but to her the phone is not the same anymore.
I've read that you have to replace the LCD if you want to replace the plastic case, which is obviously not worth the cost. Maybe instead she can sell the phone on Ebay and get a new one to use with her plan from the Google Play store? For some reason I'm not quite seeing myself, the Nexus 5 is selling for pretty high prices on Ebay, so maybe she can replace her nexus 5 at a reasonable cost.
Please advise
sell the N5 and get her a smaller phone , obviously she can't handle big ones
It won't sell for a high price cause it's retail price is already low.

When I go on Ebay I see many offers where people are bidding $300 for a used Nexus 5 with 16 GB, it makes me wonder...
Bidders are probably from countries that can't get the phone officially.

Just put a case on it and you'll never know the plastic got damaged.
Sent from my Nexus 5
Depending how bad it is, you'll probably still get a few hundred dollars for it. Buy another one from Google or Swappa, and make sure to get it in a case before she even touches it.
Sell the phone in India and you will actually get more price for it than what you paid :laugh:
Here it's being sold for Rs.33000 ($550)... So You can put it up for $400-450 or something and also get the carrier lock removed by a local shop,,,

I agree with the first reply (get her a smaller phone), get her a moto g or something. I can understand Note 2 since its really big, but nexus 5? What the hell is she doing with her phone? Ebay and swappa are both useless if you ask me, post it on your facebook or something and try to sell it to someone you know.
I'd recommend sticking the Nexus 5 on eBay, you'll get a decent amount for it and you can replace it with a smaller device which is less likely to be dropped.
