So what phones do you plan on getting for those on Jump on Demand. Or do you plan on sticking with the Note 5 until the 6?
For me I plan on getting the Huawei Nexus, and then my last upgrade will be the next gen HTC(hoping for a phablet like the one max)
I was hoping to get the z5 on tmobile but it doesn't look like that's happening. So I will prolly get the g4 pro and some kind of nexus device.
If I signed up for it in august, do I get two more upgrades until Dec 31st? Or do I get two more upgrades until August of next year?

Depends on what phones they allow to use JOD on. I don't think you can jump to any phone you want can you?
You would get three more upgrades anytime from August 2015 to August 2016

Same as me . Really liking the size and build quality of my new Note 5, and the upcoming Huawei Nexus is supposed to be near identical size as well and high quality metal build. But will carrier stores be selling this Nexus like they did the Motorola Nexus 6 ? Or will it be a Google Play store sale only ?
And I too, am interested to see what HTC has ready for the M10.
But between this Note 5 or Hauwei Nexus, I doubt I'll switch to anything else between those two, until the Note 6.

I'm debating about getting the Note 5. But not sure. I currently have the Note 4 and I don't know if it will be worth jumping to the Note 5. It looks like there have been improvements to the software and it looks like just stock TW on the Note 5 appears to be as buttery smooth and lag free as people are saying.

That's what I mean. I don't know why they don't allow all flag ship models. I can see why they wouldn't allow someone to get $200 phone then trade it in for $800 phone.
Many T-Mobile aren't even carrying the Nexus 6 and it's very soon EOL so that makes sense. I was talking about the next Nexus assuming they will carry the Huawei phablet

Note 5 is a great phone, so is the Note 4. If your happy then stay with Note 4.
I may actually jump to the new iPhone when it gets released. Here's why (don't judge) - I've always been a hardcore google/android guy and I JUST jumped to the Note 5 when it was released. I love it and don't really have a reason to get rid of it, but I also just purchased a custom Moto X Pure which should be here on the 15th and depending on how that phone performs and whether or not I like going back to stock android and losing some of the Note's features. I may just do something a little different and go the iphone route for a bit. Seeing as how I'll have two phones I can just swap the sim cards out at any time. Or I'll just keep Note 5 and see if one of the nexus's is considered a "premium" level phone and jump to one of those.
I like the Note 5 for now, so no plans to JoD, but I like having the option of switching if something good comes out. Even if I don't switch I am still paying the reduced $25/m from the JoD promo for the Note 5 so I am saving money by going JoD. If nothing better comes along I most likely will jump to the Note 6 next year.

If you are trying to keep costs down. The nexus 4 is fine..

I think so, as it will be supported by Google for at least another year and some new phones like the One Max have still almost the same processor built in.

Good point. from what I understand, the only reason why Google stop supporting the Nexus S, is because it did not have enough RAM. Google is pretty good on their software updates on their older flagships. I think this is a good buy..
if worse comes to worst, I can always sell the phone for a pretty good price. I notice these Nexus phone hold their value very well.
u bought it already and not bad choice if ur gf is into gaming and stuff or into phones n5 would be better even im thinking to keep n4 but u know... I JUST CAN'T DO IT!!! it isn't out yet anyway dont worry: n4 is great phone

If the Nexus 5 wasn't just about to be released and I wasn't an upgrade-aholic, the Nexus 4 would be my go-to phone. It's that good.
You probably should have asked this in the Nexus 4 forum.
It's a Nexus, Google will support it for more than another year. They only stopped supporting the two earliest Nexus since it lacks the hardware to run the new OS and ability to receive such large over the air updates (low ram and too small /system partition to hold the system files). The Nexus 4 is a powerful device I wouldn't be surprised if it'll get updates for atleast 2 more years. If it wasn't for needing the best spec or playing high graphical games, the Nexus 4 will probably work fine for another 3 years. It still get Android version earlier than any other non-Nexus devices, although the battery life and camera quality might not be up to standard anymore. Gaming is only a problem because of the thermal throttling which kicks in at 39*C, but if you flash custom kernel you can raise it to 60*C or higher.
The Nexus 4 does have Band 4 LTE that works with T-Mobile if you flash the LTE compatible baseband.
The Galaxy Nexus is still being supported by Google as of now, so I think the Nexus 4 will be good for quite a while.

I'm getting the N5. My GF has a crappy HTC One VX and I got her a Nexus 4 16GB for 240 out the door. She is paying me the difference after I sell her VX.
I know there is no LTE on the N4 but She doesn't use much mobile data... She only has 300 mb on her plan.
I'm going to be flashing CarbonRom and Franco kernel on it and let her tinker with it. Shes starting to get into this android thing lolol. She rooted her locked bootloader Samsung tablet herself lol.
After taxes and shipping the N5 would come out to about 400 bucks. That's 160 more than the N4...
Now the main question is, how does the N4 compare to new phones out now? Does it still hold it's own? Was this a good buy for her? I mean we are trying to keep costs down for her.
Mind you, I have never even held a N4. Its still in the mail

You must be mistaken. She wants the Nexus 4 and doesn't want to go through the hassle of selling her current phone: so ill sell it for her. She is buying her own phone with her own cash. Her VX is irritating her. I'm just doing all the buying and selling and moneywork.
Well I have some news: she decided to get the Nexus 5 as well. I sold the Nexus 4 on craigslist and made profit.

Na man the N4 sounds like a great phone for her, she doesn't sound like a power user so i don't think she would see much difference between the N4 and the N5 and the N4 will get all the least updates for the next year or two so its all good man.
I agree with lqrt here for the cost the nexus is fine. If she's getting into the whole android thing " jealous by the way" she will enjoying the nexus 4 because there are lots and lots of hacks for it now if you got a nexus 5 it would take a good while for alot of hacks to come to soak up like a sponge with water lol

What is the 16GB model priced at? Is the reduced price still available?
Will you guys get the nexus 6 when it's available for sale or stick with the nexus 5 cause I've bought the nexus 5 about only a month ago and the phones get to my country overpriced -the 16 GB nexus 5 was about 500$- so I'm worried people might stop developing for or using the nexus 5 cause I may not be able to get the nexus 6
How many threads do you need to make?
There is already a "Nexus 6" thread in the General section.
I suppose this is different from speculation. Anyway, I think it all depends on what it will offer. Possibly bigger battery, better camera. Some new and original features. Processor/RAM doesn't really matter to me. It's already fast. I think I'm leaning on keeping it just because we will have Android L to play with so the software will be the same. However, if it has unique features I might get it.
I usually get the next Nexus pending price...
Assuming the price, I'll be hitting up the Nexus 6, and getting my girl to switch from Verizon to AT&T and give her my Nexus 5.
You damn Skippy I'm going to buy the nexus 6.

I am lucky enough to be able to get an upgrade this week and was planning on doing it Feb 27th. I have plans on getting the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 because I have been told its the best phablet/Android large device etc.
HOWEVER, with the announcement of the S6 on March 1st...opinions on if I should wait and get the S6 or will the Note 4 still be larger and superior?
I prefer the series over the note series. So I suggest wait. But of you are eligible for an upgrade on the 27th why not wait until the note 5 is released? What are you working with right now?

Well, I personally would wait. Eligible for an upgrade from my s5 and I'm just waiting for the s6. It's really your choice.
Sent from my SM-G900T using Tapatalk
i would at least wait until the announcement on march 1st before making a decision...
Well, they are in two different market segment. Note 4 got 5.7" screen and S6 got 5.1"(may even down to 5" this time). If you real need a large screen, you have no choice but only Note4.
Personally, I will pick S6 because the camera will be improved and got RAW and manual shutter speed mode. Though the Note4 camera is already superb and very very enough for daily use. If you don't need that "Pro" mode in s6, then the camera in both phones are almost same to you.
I will suggest to wait 1st March and see what will happen but don't expect it on sales earlier than 22th March according from leaked information.

no wait for Note 6 :laugh:
If you can wait then wait. For now I am using a Note 4, just upgraded from S3. It's a great device. It's still worth buying a note 4, but waiting and getting to know what does S6 or S6 Edge (if available) has to offer will be a better idea.
I didn't know S6 will be coming this soon, or else I would have waited, but since I got the note 4 I am still happy because it is better than all the other samsung devices for now.
Every new flagship device is great until the next flagship device releases with better specs than our device.
Just sold my Note 4
Wait for S6. So you can test all you want and compare side by side with Note 4.
yess better wait
however S series are so much more focused on
If you want a big screen note 4 if you want a small screen perhaps S6.
That said if sammy really did away with ext sd card support thats going to be a sore spot with many i would think...something to consider.
Id wait and see what happens...unless of course u want the bigger screen.

Looking at other forums and seeing China getting the 6GB of rams 128 GB of storage versions is a slap in the face as well. Who knows if samsung will release another version in the US later down the line.

This is really a shame because I love my Note 7. If it is recalled again I'm thinking of the HTC 10, since my previous phone was the HTC M8 and I loved it. I would miss the s-pen ALOT, along with all the Note 7's other great features. For now I will take my chances on the replacement and hope all works out.

I just exchanged my Note 7 for the s7 edge at Sprint. I was having Bluetooth issues like others and didn't want to get stuck with the phone for another 2 years. Only crappy thing is since Best Buy wouldn't accept the phone since it's over the 14 day return policy I had to go through Sprint and they did an even swap out so technically I lost $100 since the s7 edge is less money but oh well. I'll grab another 256gb micro SD card and try to make my $100 back.

I was thinking if i had to drop down to an S7 edge and i do concider it a drop down, i will get the VR because ive already gotten the gear fit 2, i got a 256gb memory card on the way, might as well go for the trifecta....lol
I wish i could hold out on the S8 which im sure is going to be awesome or who knows the Note 8 might be the greatest of them all.

Yeah buddy love those promotions lol. I have the 256gb card and the VR and just submitted my new s7 edge receipt for another 256gb card. I wish they still had the gear fit option I'd rather have that then another card.

This is really a shame because I love my Note 7. If it is recalled again I'm thinking of the HTC 10, since my previous phone was the HTC M8 and I loved it. I would miss the s-pen ALOT, along with all the Note 7's other great features. For now I will take my chances on the replacement and hope all works out.

I have had every note since number 2 and skipped the 5 due to no memory card or removable battery options. I thought the 7 was a fair compromise so i upgraded my note edge which i still have and have a 9000 mah battery for it thaf last for days.... lol. Im using it to stream ufc 204 to my tv now.....shh dont tell Dana White.....lol
But i dont know if i can go back to a lrss than top tier phone or one that is lacking a feature ive become so accustomed to.

I just exchanged my Note 7 for the s7 edge at Sprint. I was having Bluetooth issues like others and didn't want to get stuck with the phone for another 2 years.

I thought sprint said they would do a full refund? Or exchange and give you the difference back?

They would but only if it was purchased through Sprint. Mine was purchased through Best Buy and Best Buy wouldn't help me at all since I was outside the 14 day return window for my "safe version 2" Note 7. Really Sprint shouldn't have let me swap out the phone but I found a manager at one of my local Sprint stores who was cool and he didn't stress where I purchased it so I lucked out.

I've got 4 days until my 14 return window with best buy is over and I'm not sure what I want to do. I love this device and downgrading to a 7 edge would be something I do not want to do, and there's really no other device that sprint has that I want right now. I guess if forced I'd go to an htc 10 simply because it's got root already and decent developer support, but I'd still be upset with having to give my note up, I love it.
The note 7 is dead. If there is a recall, I highly doubt we'll be getting another Note 7...

I'm thinking of doing the same.
The S8 will be rushed to try to put this blunder behind them and the Note 8 will probably be the greatest phone ever created in an effort to erease the past.

The s7 edge is only a "downgrade" if your set on having the S-Pen. I loved having the pen to create goofy pictures now and then but it's not a big deal. All the specs are the same with better battery life on the edge. I liked the idea of the Iris scanner but never really used it. Really the only thing I miss is the newer version of Always on display but I'm sure the edge will get it shortly.

It's only got gorilla glass 4 and and half the storage capacity, it is a downgrade, and one I definitely don't want. If I wanted a 7 edge, I'd have had one months ago. Now I'm forced to make a choice I really don't want to make. I really hope they don't scrap the note 7 entirely

Supposedly 2 possible safe note 7's have went up in smoke and flames. I have also read that the major carriers in the US will be allowing exchanges of the now safe note 7's for something else.
Well if this is the case, what other options are on par with the note 7? Im thinking S7 edge or God forbid i go to an Iphone 7 plus. What are you guys looking at just in case or will you roll the dice and take your chances?

This is my first Note, coming from the S6 and I am totally disappointed with all the negative media. I had no problems with the first and none, so far, with the replaced Note 7. There is no other phone that I want right now, so if forced, I'll get a refund and go back to my S6 and wait on the S8... I still have my Nexus 6P on Google Fi.

The s7 edge does, I think that's it, maybe the regular s7 as well

If I hadn't given my g3 to my dad when I upgraded I would do the same and wait, but I can't now, I need a phone, so I just feel like I'm going to get stuck for two years with a device I don't really want. It sucks.

It may sound crazy, but I haven't used my "upgrade" from Sprint for years. I usually by the phone outright from someone else, which was the case the with first one. That way, I'm not stuck. I usually use PayPal Credit, so no large upfront money put out.

Well, looks like Best Buy will have to take it back, now. I'm glad I took action when Sprint first offered exchanges for the replacement. Beat the rush.
