Samsung's 30 day Test Drive - Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5

Last week Samsung offered IPhone users the chance to sign up and use the Note 5 and S6E+ for 30 days for $1. I signed up for the Note 5. I'm interested to know if anyone else here signed up for the promotion, and if so have you received any shipping info. I'm waiting on an email with the shipping info.

So mad. Bought a case too. Still no shipping info! Was planning on switching from my 6+ to the S6+. Sigh samsung

I signed up within the hour that phone arena posted it. It's been about a week and a day till I got my email. You should hear something soon.

Dang that's a long wait. They shouldn't have advertised the 2-day shipping. It's misleading. Idk how Samsung plans on restocking before the new iPhones come out.

Wtf.... done

I was thinking the same thing. It would have been better if they promoted this at their keynote for the phones. It would have given more people the opportunity to think of switching. That two day shipping was jacked up. I was crazy excited then it turned into the waiting game. Now that I know it's coming I'm back excited.

Funny because I just received a call from Samsung. It'll ship either tonight or tomorrow and I'll recieve it either Saturday or early next week. The rep said that their shipping has been delayed because of the amount of orders. I can rest easy now
Also:
The last android device I had was the Samsung Galaxy player. Any suggestions on rooting and if it's possible with the S6 edge plus or note?

I just read on xda they achieved it on the T-Mobile version. So I'm hopefull it will be achieved. These devs are really impressive.

Oh so Different carriers lock them. What can you do with root access?

Early on you could use it to turn your phone into a hotspot without shelling out the extra $20 a month. Right now they already have a fix for that to where you don't have to root in order to take advantage of that. My first thing I always do is to see if I can install this sound mod from this dev Viper. You can truly take control of the equalizer and make your headphones really good.

Ooo. Surprised they don't allow root access. What about changing the UI. Keep hearing that touch wiz is bad.

It use to be terrible. They really cleaned it up every year. To where now it is a pretty decent launcher. I personally prefer Nova Launcher. Especially now that some launchers almost theme the entire system and not just the icons and home screen. With rooting some devs will make custom roms with some pretty awesome features, over locking even run stock android if you want.

Flexi Rubber Clear case by AccessoryOne 99Cents

I don't work for them...I got mine in the mail today and IMO for 99cents i am past impressed. So I did a video to show you guys.
http://youtu.be/Dog_DpsR7uk
I don't like the power button issue as I can NOT even wake my phone..so it becomes useless.
Dude, I need the text notification ASAP.
Also, I got two of these for me and my wife and had the same issue. I ended up just cutting the area out.

That's the same one I ordered. Same place, same seller. That sucks.
But to the other guy above..That stuff off Ebay is from Hong Kong. No way am I waiting a month for an order. lol
Looks nice, but I'm gonna wait to see what Trident has to offer before getting one of these.
I got it from uk and it took 4 days to come here. There are also USA sellers on eBay not just from hongkong.

There aren't honestly..They say they are but as soon as I purchase from them they say [email protected] for example..they lie to make people order because most Americans won't order from Hong Kong and wait 2 weeks for an order.

Since I been using this my screen has started going nuts. Doesn't read touch at times when trying to unlock the screen. New one should be here today. Says it's out for delivery..but u know T-Mo uses "Next Day-Super Saver" so that means you wont get it until 4:30pm which is the end of day for deliveries..smh

What should I do now with my crappy?

Well I upgraded to the sgsII. But I have mixed feelings about what to do with my trusty cappy. No one in my family wants it and none of my friends around here have atnt...
I dont know if I should sell it or keep it as a backup. It seems like just a waste to leave it sitting around in the box. Besides it's basically a brand new phone (2 week old 11.02 built/refurb) Never has been messed with. (Roms) No blemishes or marks at all. No sleep death or gps issues. I just got it replaced due to a crappy gps.
Should I be able to get at least $200 for it if I got the ebay route? I have everything it came with plus a otter box commuter.
ebay the puppy or donate it to a DEV .;-)

Does it mean they fixed GPS issues in newer/refurb captivates? Could you confirm what build is safe, or what to look for? I might pick one up for mom.
same situations except mines is older. mine just sits on my desk. thinking about using it like an ipod touch or something. how much would this go for anyway if we were to sell? no one has answered that except to give it to them for free.

Sorry man they run around 150-200ish. Yours with case prolly 180. Wasn't stallin or beggin just figured you could checkout ebay and craigslist yourself to find out what they are selling for.
Steve
sides most of us was suggesting someone we have no personal contact with or knowledge of other than the excellent work done to make the captivate a better phone,,and done without one
ebay is your best bet.
You can mail it to watsa so he can keep developing captivate roms

It's a refurb that I got 2 weeks before this posting. 10.12 built.
Ive been trying ebay with a $200 buy it now. comes with everything, and a otterbox commuter etc.
Only people that seem to be bidding are from Russia, Ukrian. They have fake ebay accounts with us address but they cannot checkout thru a non us paypal. It' seems to be a 99% scam. I might post it here in the market if this continues to happen. I hate it. I even have like size 7 font in red telling them not to bid etc lol
I would really love to see a developer that makes a media player rom. Basically what I'm thinking of is an ipod touch like u.i. so I can keep my cappy around as an awesome storage device/mp3 player/wifi only browser after my upgrade.

There is a thread somewhere that does that very thing. I think it was called Captivate Touch.
Just give it to LOSTLOGIC. All in favor?

Welcome to the S3 family! Hope you enjoy your new device! So far I love my S3 on ATT.
Very nice, I pre-ordered the same phone (32GB White), Can't wait to get mine as well. I went to the sprint and T-mobile stores to check it out but it just wasn't the same as having your own. Best of luck, owning my awesome GS2 is what made me want this phone so bad, so this phone should be pretty damn amazing as well.

I would appreciate you running the benchmark as well when you get everything set up. I ran the quadrant in store on a T-mobile version and was a little underwhelmed by the score when compared to my GS2, so I am hoping it was just a fluke or something cause the specs on these phone should make it have some pretty impressive scores. Thanks
Lucky! I'll probably have to wait until mid-late next week for mine. Enjoy!

EDIT 2: Now that I have more posts I can make it an actual link horray!! But ya, not like it matters, here we are March 6th with no Nougat from Verizon. A few people have said they heard March 20th as the release date so...we can only hope.

Maybe somebody could figure out how to leak it like they did the AT&T version. I'm running it on a spare S7e. It sure is pretty. Reminds me of my Note 7, may it rest in peace.

Give it another month. :good:
I dont want to wait another month. Samsung took my note 7, told me to get a s7e and it would be updated to be nearlt as good within a month or so. Horse hockey. We are way over due for a promise they made to consumers they screwed over.
And enough of this carrier approval crap. Push the dam update out and own up to any problems that arise.
I've still got my Note 7 - it was hotlined once, I got VZ to take the hotline off. Went several days into February and no hotline, but I found a mint S7E for a great price so I bought it and put my N7 sim in the S7E. Been using that for a week now. My N7 is still the superior device for several reasons. Screen size, better curves (steeper) on the edge display, better display overall (brighter, whiter) and the S7E display also has more "curve" over the whole thing while the N7 is flat. Obviously 64GB internal on the N7 is superior. The AOD on the S7E sucks - it really, really needs the N7 AOD with 3rd party notifications. And finally Grace UI is nicer. I use Nova launcher prime, but the Grace settings and quick settings is still nicer. And lastly, the battery life on the S7E is worse. I have no idea why - it has a smaller display and bigger battery. All that being said - once the S7E gets Nougat it will help. But that'll be pretty close to when the S8+ will be out, and I will likely be getting that anyway. I really hope Nougat for the VZ S7E is out soon. Like tomorrow. The pics the OP linked look legit, so let's hope VZ gets us Nougat before March. I wouldn't count on it though.

I think its ironic an "unlocked" model takes longer to receive updates directly form the MFG. This make no sense at all.
Sprint also released the Nougat firmware today! Verizon will now officially be the last.
I usually don't care too much for OS updates - they are almost always over rated. However since Grace UI and the improved AOD come with this Nougat update, it is one OS updated that is very much needed. Verizon is literally always the last carrier to roll out OTA's. It simply shows they DGAF about their customers. And that they want to bake in more bloatware than other carriers. Both are selfish reasons on Verizon's part for rolling out OTA's far slower than other carriers.

I agree, if I didn't get a discount through my work and also have good reception in most places including my home, I would have ditched Verizon. I was considering using Ting but after I added up a 3 device plan with the amount of texting that my wife does it ends up being within $10. Even project Fi was about the same difference.
someone should tweet Verizon with this update code that the guy gave in the gif and pretend they have Nougat on a test device and say you will release the rom if they don't release it world wide soon or at least give an eta lol.
This has to be fake. Verizon customer service just told me that we weren't getting the update at all andI could consider the Pixel XL, lol. Hopefully they were misinformed

Why not just consider another provider? I know I'm leaving as soon as I get rid of this phone and tablet I've got thru them.
I know exactly when they will release it. The day before I can get my hands on an S8. Same thing every year.

Question Anyone seen the trade-in kit?

Exactly what the title says. I've got two orders, one from 7/22 and one from 7/26. Both show the trade-in kit as "not shipped", "pending". Yesterday I contacted Google support and supposedly they shipped two new kits because I should have had the original ones by now, but I haven't received any shipment emails on those either. Just curious if others were experiencing the same.
Not yet, though they said mine shipped and said 7 business days after receiving the device. I would expect them soon.
I got my trade in kit a couple days ago. I just sent my 3axl back today.
And as soon as I posted this my kits both arrived

Make sure you send the right kit back or they won't find it. Call before.

Call Google make sure they have the right tracking number since you now have 2.

Ahh sorry back. It was @adrman I meant to quote. He reordered the kits and will have 2 coming for one device. I had that problem before and It took many calls for them to find the return.
Mine came yesterday. Sending my 4a back tomorrow.
fwiw, I gotta say, that's one hell of a deal! If I count the Pixel Buds A at their retail price of $100 then I'm out only $50 for a BIG step up vs. the 735G chipset plus it fixes my main grump about the 4a being just a lil' too small. I was lookin' at used (open box) Pixel 5s mostly for the 6" 'perfect' screen size, imo, right before this deal popped. Hell...6.1", close enuff!
Mine said delivered 2 days ago and wasn't there. Hate USPS! What's in the kit, a box and an airbill?

Yep, packaging to send it back in and a prepaid return sticker.
I already sent mine out on Monday
It was my Pixel 3A.
I made a video of it working then rebooted it, then clean flashed it and then packaged it up and sent it out
I made the video just in case Google says anything wrong about it or anything. It's a pristine condition and I should get my $300.
There's not one scratch on it barely used as I am disabled, don't use a phone much. Always make a video of whatever you're doing with any phone
Mine was delivered to them yesterday but Google store still saying has not arrived. USPSaroed it Delivered to Individual. We'll see next week once they start processing them.
Kit came on Thursday and I shipped it back, it's supposed to arrive there on Monday
Received my kit last Monday and mailed it back the same day. Google still hasn't received it. It is now two days late.
Can someone post a picture or two what the kit and return form looks like? Since mine says delivered and I never got it, I'm about ready to just pay to mail it back myself. Just want to be sure I get the paperwork/return address right.

Its a small box, just slightly bigger than the one the phone comes in. Maybe 10x5x1" or so. All white with a address label with a barcode on it, and feels empty as there is only paper in it.
Got mine Tuesday (8/2). Sent it in the following Friday
