This may be no big deal to those that have had a smartphone for years, but the g2x is my first smartphone.. I'm just geeked by what happened today and wanted to shared..
My cable modem was dying so I had to go get a new one.. I really dislike buying things at local stores because of getting around 25%-50% savings on newegg, ebay, etc. But, the modem was about dead and I couldn't wait..
At any rate, I go to BestBuy and find one.. I'm standing in line for a register and I was like "hey, i got this new shop savvy app (barcode scanner). Lemme check it out".. to see how much I was getting boned for. As I start looking at the discounted prices online for 25%-35%, the next register opens. I walk up and say, "Boy, do you have any discounts/rebates for this modem? You guys are way overpriced." She looks at my phone, "Well, we price match for local retailers." I hit the back button, hit local retailers.. and find it at walmart for 25% less. We look at their website together on my phone, and she price matches it.
Is that cool or what? <3 this phone.
that is really cool!

I am amazed at how much I use my phone every day. Wait til you get it figured out completely (?), you're gonna have so much fun......I can definately recommend rooting it. This will give you more control over it.

All set on the rooting and CWM via Nvflash.. Any suggestions on messing around with it tonight for some fun? Or any apps?
I'm currently messing with the Wifi Analysis app.. After I put my new modem/router in.. I still wasn't getting a decent signal. It showed me which channel was giving out the best signal.. Now instead of bouncing between 1-2, sometimes 3 bars. it's holding steady at 3, sometimes 4.

well.. i have 2 cool apps I use that need a rooted phone. Maybe 3-4.. but these 2 stand out.. Titanium Backup (freeze, defrost, backup, and reinstall apps). And Seek Droid.. allows you to find your Droid if you lose it, but the best part.. you can wipe the phone, TURN ON GPS remotely, and a bunch of other things. Best .99 I spent.
EDIT: Plus, there are some cool things guys are doing.. Like creating ROMs and such. For instance, CM7 is getting hammered on w/ the 2.3.4 OS.. which means, hopefully..and eventually.. Google talk's video will be working on the front facing camera. Some flashes are tweaks to make the phone run faster.. And eventually, it may even dispense cash.

I have Seek Droid too without a rooted phone. Whats the advantage of running CM7 as opposed to just keeping the stock once the 2.3 is released?

The ability to run undervolted kernels which will save tons of battery life. Add-ons, special features and stuff you can't do on the stock rom, up to date support, increased performance. The list goes on. Oh yea and the risk of becoming a crack flasher.

oh, sorry.. thought it needed a root on that one.
From what I have read, it seems the stock GB will be 2.3.3 not 2.3.4. Also, it seems that cm7 is suppose to be the roms of all roms. Idk.. the way people talk about it, it's supposed to help the phone run smoother, probably better battery life... and I would guess it's less intrusive.
But ya know.. I installed one of the nightlies.. and I uninstalled it. It's not ready.. Once they have a stable release out, I'll give it another shot. But it made my phone bogg down and it used much more memory to operate. So idk... I'll check it out but I may stick with stock myself. Really, its just a geek thing to do and have fun with..
Rooting is easy and it's also very easy to undo.. If it's just for the titanium backup app so you can freeze that stuff like apppack, car home, and all kinds of other things... it's worth it imho.
OP you got lucky the person was unaware that Walmart online is a whole different animal than Walmart local. The retail stores are not affiliated with the online site for pricing or inventory. Many times they will be close but the local stores can't honor the online Walmart prices. I think its crap, and many local places around here know that and wont price match Walmart.com pricing.

It was in stock at 2 of the local stores. If it's available in-store from their site, then you get it at that price.
I don't believe in luck, but I do believe in coinciding events.

Has someone at your local Walmart store actually told you that? I have yet to find a store to honor the price regardless of stock. They all say the same thing. You can buy it online though and have it shipped to the store for free, but no manager will give you what's on their shelf for the Walmart.com price.
This is why the other big box stores around here wont price match Walmart.com prices.
But I digress...glad you got a deal.

Yeah, you are in for a whole new world, even before you root it. You've got google goggles [that just got revamped w/an update] that does countless of awesome things w/just a pic, from solving Sudoku puzzles to price checking etc! Then there is Key Ring [which I use religiously now] that, scans the barcode on your different 'rewards' cards [Best Buy, Gamestop, Footlocker, etc] will recognize it and store it. When you go to check out, instead of fumbling through your wallet or keyring, pull up the app, hit the matching icon and they can scan it off your phone. I even used it at a job I worked at, where every morning I had to scan my badge and my vehicle codes to get my handheld started up. While everyone else had to go to there vehicles after waiting for their paperwork, scan the code and wait as it went through it's final boot up, I scanned from my phone while I waited for my paperwork and was out the door. That was on my N1.
Start exploring, but I warn you, it gets addicting, ESPECIALLY once you've rooted and seen all the freedom and advantages you have w/an open source OS as opposed to the likes of iOS. I'm getting giddy just thinking about it. Excuse me for a moment...

There is a difference between asking walmart (or any other big box store) to match walmart's online price versus an item that is in-stock at the store whereas a person can make the purchase online and head over to the store and pick it up.
I see what you're saying if it's just an online-store thing and the item isn't available in stock.. But when an item is in-stock at the store and you make the online purchase, you go to the store to pick it up for that price. It's just a pick-up for an already purchased item.
If I were in a store showing them their online price for an item in stock, and they wouldn't match it. I would make the purchase, then show them the receipt and instructions to go to the store and pick it up. The person would then hand it to me and I'd walk out.
I have called them immediately after an online purchase and asked how soon they could have it ready for pick-up. The last time, the representative said they'll go to the shelf right now and grab the item for me.. I waited on the phone to make sure they had it in-stock. I then went to the store with my online receipt... showed it to them, they gave me my item, and I walked out..

I suspect vzw also. And i wont buy anything other than htc for build quality alone. You can have those flimsy other phones with easy dev and updates, but htc makes great phones. I was sold when my dinc got submerged in water yet continued to work great for a year.

Well, from the looks of that post... They are saying that they are trying to get more information regarding the progress of the update from the "inside". Which, to me, that implies their development team. I could be wrong, but it's speculation. No word back after that last post I made...
P.S.
I just noticed that the message was cut off from HTC. Here is the full reply they made regarding my comment.
We fully understand that this situation is less than ideal. We are waiting on a status update internally and as soon as we hear more from them we will pass it along here. We're just as eager to learn more as you. We apologize and we can assure you that we're doing as much as we can to get you the answers that everyone here is asking for.

How bout just giving us a good kernal and let the devs on this site take it from there!
What would lead you to believe the flunky who posts on facebook for htc knows anything or.even anyone to ask? He is told what to say and he says it. Asking him a question tells you no more.than asking a vzw store salesman anything. We probably know more about.it.than either of those "company reps "

I love the part about "you work at HTC" so go ask.... How many people work at HTC ? Haha !!! Someone has no clue about big companies.
I know other see it differently but the way I see it... that is a very corporate way of saying "go f*** yourself". I think they're just hoping we will forget so they don't have to push an update. Sadly enough the Photon 4G the first 4G Tegra phone for Sprint got that very sad news recently. I just don't think that HTC will balls up and tell us. /negativity
I'm feeling a Facebook protest page for this lack of service.

I'm starting to believe you're right after Motorola did this to Atrix owners a few days ago. I know it's a stupid dream, but I like to imagine that, in the future, some company will introduce a phone that runs AOSP and has chips with open-source drivers. What a cool gadget that would be.
Someone should start an online petition and make HTC / VZW put the update out !
Make them? LMFAO! Good luck on making either company do anything.
Both are huge companies that are supporting several devices, with prime focus going to development for new tech. Think about it, the TB is an old cell, we were lucky to see the leak. How much money will HTC make by putting ICS on TB? Nothing.
IMO, we got one update and a leak for a 2nd... we should only hope for an update, if it comes.. cool. If not, either wait for a dev or move on.
Sometimes the sense of entitlement from some posters in this forum is mind blowing.
Make them... I'm still laughing about that.

There seems to be a lot of tension here, and people do need to understand that this is an old phone. We were the first to get 4g LTE, and we had to be the guinea pigs for the network so with some awkward hardware and a non-standard RIL. HTC still made an excellent piece of hardware that I carry without a case or even a screen protector, and I will admit, I've dropped it and it has no scratches and no chips in it. I'd buy a new HTC phone on Verizon if it wasn't for Verizon's new policies. Heck, I'd be open to buying a phone off contract so I get out at any time, but I'm not going to do it because I have to, and as a reasonable data consumer who does have unlimited I feel no reason to pay the same(actually, more in my case) for less. I use ~4gb per month on my own, which is certainly acceptable and is in no way excessive, and shared data will raise my bill. As soon as my contract runs out(or I finally get PO'd at verizon and pay the ETF) I'm switching to Sprint and I'll be purchasing the HTC Evo 4G LTE.
I am certain that Verizon wants people to get off unlimited, so they will deny any updates for the Thunderbolt, because the earliest buyers are conveniently eligible for early upgrades now. I know of somebody who went into the store to buy a new battery and they tried to sell him a new phone because his was supposedly still running GB(which is false, he had Liquid ICS installed, LOL) and it is an older version of Android.

That makes sense. As far as the new policies go, they are dropping the unlimited data plan for anyone who upgrades to a phone? I know someone who upgraded about a year ago, as well as switched over his phone to someone elses family plan and retained his unlimited data
Plus you have to pay the phone upgrade charge now!
Hey guys and gals! I'm itching for the new S4. I just opened a new 2 year contract back in December and I'm growing tired of my boring iPhone 4S.
Which also has warranty until December off this year.
I'm looking for a creative idea to help me pick up this wonderful phone. I thought about taking my mint iPhone into bestbuy for the "buy back" plan that they offer and possible add a line to my current plan but I don't want to lose my current phone number.
Do you guys have any ideas that could help me out?

You could try swappa.com, which is partnered with XDA and a link is conveniently located at the top of this page :good:
Ebay is my "go to" when I want to flip one phone for another. I believe there is also a XDA "marketplace" somewhere on the forum, but I do not have enough posts to try it out or tell you how good it is.

The market place section of XDA was shut down several months ago because of the problems associated with users ripping off other users.
As mentioned above XDA has partnered with Swappa which is a wonderful site started by android enthusiasts for the community.
Swappa is nice to do business on because of the system of fail checks that are in place.
There is also craigslist and eBay. With craigslist I know a lot of people that sell their devices locally for more money than it would bring online, but it really depends on the market in your area.

Xda marketplace is no more, it's swappa, cell trader online or another message board. EBay scams you out of about 15% off your earnings as listing fees, and PayPal will remove 3%

i would def recommend swappa because the buyer pays listing fee and you only have to pay paypal fees. which ebay you have to pay thier 15% fee and paypal fees and shipping too which i forgot to add that to swappa. then cancel your contract and resign up with the gs4
Thanks for the replies. I just left an AT&T store and the guy basically told me he would set me up a new line and strip it down to a 10$ dumb phone plan and throw the s4 on my current line.
He was gonna take my 4s in trade which would have covered my cost for the new phone and since I'm a union member my activation fee would have been waived.
I was smiling till he told me that my brother has to be there because only he can add a line cause its his accounts. I'm authorized for everything but that! Lol

I know using the 4s as a trade is convenient but if you have the case pay the $199 for the S4 and sell the 4s, that phone is still selling for $350ish at a minimum in good shape. Just a shame to see money down the drain that doesn't have to be. I sold my Unlocked 4s about 2 months ago with a few otterboxes for about 450ish

I may go that route actually, and use my sgs2 till I can sell it. I have a small hardware glitch with my current iPhone that I plan on taking in for a warranty exchange. Adding a line sucks because my brother lives roughly 2 hours away so not sure how to work the details out ya know..

Thats the easy part, just have him go get it and ship it to you. Shouldn't be more than $6 priority. If he uses a normal bank im sure you have a branch close to you and you can deposit the cash to his bank account to pay for the phone for you.
Bump for any other creative ideas. =D

My att store was able to call the account holder to add a line. He was not there with me.
Ask AT&T for an early upgrade. I believe it would be $450 for the Galaxy s4, and just sell your iPhone and pay the difference. Your brother could do the upgrade in store and have them ship you the phone for free. I did that for my dad with an iPhone 3GS before.

However, in the spirit of this thread, and moreover, the spirit of recent posts/arguments/members here on XDA, I'm posting my own question for everyone! Please DO take the time to respond. I appreciate your feedback.
~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~
Hi guys! I know this is a forum about phone development, but even though I know that, I'm going to post this anyway!
I really really want a Boeing Business Jet.
Back in December I bought a 1993 Toyota Corolla, Neon Pink, w/ 223,000 miles. It's also missing a wheel. And a door. But I manage. Only cost me $200.
What can I do to trade my Toyota for a Boeing Business Jet? I'm not against prostitution, blackmail, extortion, or murder. Anyone know where to start? I tried posting some "hitman" ads on a few darknets, but they all want to pay me with these silly "Bitcoin" things... and Boeing insists I pay for my new plane in cash, not digital coins.
Any ideas?! Please help. I'm really bored of my Toyota, and I really want a private jet.
And of all the millions of websites on the internet, I feel like this is the single most appropriate place to ask my question. Again, I know I'm sounding pretty whiny and entitled, but this is XDA developers, so I figured that's the normal.
Thanks! And again, I really appreciate any feedback!
~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~
(Oh, and if it weren't against the rules (which some of us actually do follow) right here is where I'd post a random picture of a penis.)
Thanks OP for another quality thread!
Cheers!

I'm extremely glad you feel that way about my post. Don't like it? Hit the back button and troll elsewhere. I felt it may have been fitting to post where I did based solely on the fact that maybe another member may have just been through the same situation and could provide some valuable information.
Thanks for wasting 20 minutes of your life coming up with that uninformative and useless post. Good luck with the jet.
I received a survey on the Surveys On The Go that qualified me to take part in something called "Project Abacus". It came with a lengthy EULA from Google and the promise of a Nexus 5 that I could keep after 6 months of participating in a study. The study involves 6 months of use as your primary phone and allowing it to collect usage information to track how you use it using an app that is in the play store but also comes pre-loaded on the phone. I can't seem to find out much more than that though (other than this thread on the Google forums). Didn't know if anyone here has heard of this or participated in it. They are not asking for any credit card info or anything more private than your phone number (they called to verify my address) and email account (they are sending a tracking number). So I don't think I'm risking anything. But I'm just pretty skeptical about something that seems too good to be true. Getting to participate in a Google research study seems kinda like winning the lottery. So the bottom line question is this.....is this legit?

I haven't received an email from them yet. I found it interesting that that app in the app store doesn't have a web URL associated with it. Makes me wonder if they got some exception because I *thought* that was a requirement. All the communication so far was all handled through the Surveys On The Go app. Based on the reviews both there an the comments at the link I referenced in the OP, folks have received confirmation calls about this for a week or so now, promising phones in the next 2-4 weeks. I'll be sure to post back here if I get a tracking number or a real phone.
One of the things that makes me think that this is legit is that the agreement that you had to go through was VERY long and detailed. It said that you have to set up a new/separate Google account for the test. This new Google Drive location is where all the information collected on your use (including occasional photos of you using the phone) will be posted for your review. You can delete anything you are not comfortable sharing. They then access this data. And, according to this agreement, if we decide to opt out we can request that GOOGLE delete all the data that was submitted during the survey. I took a screenshot that that part of the agreement and have asked the app developers to send me a digital copy of the full agreement.
I'm doing the same study, and had the same worries that you did. lol I found this thread though a bit of googling...
I loved my Nexus 4, and I'm really really hoping that this is legit. Can't wait to see what happens honestly.

I was on ATT when I filled out the questionnaire. Just jumped to T-Mobile though. Hope that isn't an issue. If it is, I'll still have my OnePlus One that should be delivered today.

I've just completed the survey on SOTG as well. I hope I'll be allowed to root the device. It will suck to have to use it without root. If anything, I wonder if I can get a Straight Talk number and use that instead of my regular carrier's SIM card.

ATAP is a group at Google (Advanced Technologies and Products, the group behind Project Tango) but I don't think that app is coming from them. The support e-mail for the app is "@gmail.com," not "@google.com."
Considering the timing of this research project, I'm curious if they are going to be sending out Nexus 5's as the said or actually sending out new Nexus 6's. It would be a huge coincidence if they were sending out phones for this Project Abacus at the same time as they were releasing the new model. The 6 is supposed to be available for pre-order Thursday to arrive next month - right at the same time they are saying that they will be sending us these phones. I would think that with the 5 on it's way out and the 6 replacing it, they wouldn't be spending a lot on studying how folks use it.

I would *love* confirmation that it was the 6. That would be *incredible*!
For me, I had taken these in this order before I got the Abacus invite:

I agree, I asked him to provide pics if he can when he comes home from his business trip. Apparently his wife told him last night that it came him, so thats his confirmation. If he provides proof to me I will post them, I am very curious myself.
I got the phone..
Looks all good. Seems legit guys!

I have received the same survey for the invite, servey for acceptance, and survey for confirmination. I then got a phone call today saying they can not accept PO boxes, it needs to be a residential address. I was then going to put down my father's work address, but then he said to just call back when I get that address. I would never give out my actual home address to someone I can't completely trust. Then I got a phone call about an hour later and was told that a PO Box would work and they apologized for the confusion. Then he asked for my carrier that I would put the Sim card in. I said at&t, which is the truth, and was told the phone would ship soon and would arrive in 2 to 3 weeks from today. I sure do hope it is real, but I guess I'll have to wait and see.

Nice! Keep us posted when you get it (if)
I called a few stores last Thursday and there was none in stock. I called to place an order over the phone, and was originally given a ship date of Nov 3 - 8. I never got the electronic signature email from them at the time I purchased on Thursday, to complete the transaction so after calling them back yesterday they resent the email and I signed it. Well that never went through and I had to call them again today. They resent the email, I verified the e signature again, and received a text to confirm it worked this time. I'm still getting informed of a shipping date between 3-8, but when I talked to a rep again this evening he told me it won't ship until at least the 10th and that's been moved up 5 days cause it used to be the 15th. So, I don't know when to expect this phone, but he said since the demise of the note 7, the v20 is in extreme demand, and LG can't keep up with shipping devices.

ordered mine online Saturday and it's out for delivery today. can't wait to get my paws on it
I had to return mine because it was defecrive, i reordered with a supervisor on the phone on november 1 and my order backordered to December 13th up to january 3rd of next year. Even though the supervisor told me that i would have the phone by the end of this month. Now im screwed without a phone. I will have to ask my mother for the lg g3 i gave her once again since im receiving very important emails at hours im not in the house. Tmobile used to have a rating of 5 stars from me. Now it gets a 2 stars.

I have tried every single method but they still say the same stuff... as if they were robots. sometimes i believe im talking with a robot instead of a person . Im telling you, i would never recommend anyone to join the Tmobile family, maybe to grab the phone only since they usually have unlocked bootloader, but that's it! Customer service is the worst. One tells me one thing, the other tells me other thing, another lies to me making me send the phone and making me believe that i would receive a new phone when i was never going to get that replacement, and another one told me it would arrive this month. And it keeps going on and on and on . I have a long list of things they told me and never did.

Worries not! I have my G3 back because my mother is going to be out for a couple of weeks so.... BUT REALLY! LG AN TMOBILE MUST BE STUPID! THEY SHOULD HAVE PREDICTED THIS WOULD HAPPEN AFTER WHAT HAPPENED WITH THE NOTE 7.... Or,.... are they stupid? seems like it. I mean, it doesn take a lot of brain to figure out that when one flagship goes down people are desperate to try a new device that will possibly replace it. I bet they have already lost many customers just because of the backorders. If it werent because i have already tried the LG V20 for a couple of days, i would have cancel my order the minute i found out about the backorder been so far away.

First world problems dude. LG is small in terms of mobile phones. I am pretty sure they expected more demand because the notr7 grenades but damn dude. Think about the logistics of it. Production capacity. Samsung and apple I am quite sure get the red carpet and get to jump queues often. Getting extra production capacity can be problematic sometimes. Not like it can be expedited. And think about what time of year it is. The OEM's with hot phones are probably ramping up capacity for the holiday season. LG probably is too but doesnt have clout to work with. Hell for all we know theyve already doubled output but can't keep up with demand still. Lots more go into complicated devices like these. Many parts to source. Many parts to source that other OEM's use also. Another kink in the supply chain. You're just being a simple minded impatient temper tantrum child. If it bothers you that bad get a phone that is I'm stock everywhere. Some stores get more supply than others because they can't keep them on the shelves. Others don't want to take risk of stock taking up valuable storage space that could be used for other phones. Just sounds like you need to be bent over the knee or taken out to the woodshed and get a reality check. Lots of variables at play here behind anybody in the supply chain from the parts needed for the v20, assembly line, possibly qualified employees to assemble, shipping lanes and stores gambling on stock to stock. Not to mention accounting for defective phones or returns. Take a chill pill or go cry on your pillow. Geez.

Aah i see, making me the bad guy, aren't you? Nice try. if i were one of those normal "simple minded impatient temper tantrum child" that you are talking about, that is. You don't even know 1) for how long have i been dealing with this issue, 2) the troubles it caused me (even my TMobile account had a mess for this), 3) the amount of incompetent and also liars agents that are found in both brands Tmobile and LG, and i had to talk which each one of them, 4)The trick they almost make me fall into if i hadn't been so careful and been so persistent (such as making me pay for a phone i didn't have anymore, and is not only limited to that), 5) 3 important information relevant to this semester on my college that i missed out thanks to T-Mobile (since i sent them the phone and was expecting for the word of the supervisor to become true). Dude, i can keep on and on and on, and can say that im none of the things you said about me because with everything they did to me, my account, even with only the lies they wrote to me and also told me through the phone, i would have already sued them and surely i would have won the case. Since i saved every conversation and i would have only have to ask to T-Mobile to release the recorded conversations i had with them (which are a lot!, but it wasn't because i was impatient, im a very patient person, but because they had their own mess inside the system and had me on the center of that mess making me the fool of the play). If i hadn't called and chat so much i would have had to pay more than what the phone actually cost. So yeah, at this point anyone would have already become so mad that they would have probably broken their TVs i have seen people do more for even fewer things. So, do me a favor and stop assuming because you are nowhere near Sherlock Holmes' level.
(on the other hand, i don't wish that everything that happened to me already, happens to you )

Thank you for letting me know . I will give it a shot later today. :good::good:
Supply and demand, if LG made a crap load of phones in thinking that the note 7 users would get the v20 and then it didn't happen well then they made a lot of phones that might not sell without dropping the price.

I contacted them through FB.... They are even worst in there . now they say that they process and ship the orders in the same order they receive the request. Then HOW THE HECK there are people who bought it even a week later or more than me and they already have their phone with them or on its way, or even the estimated time showing a closer date when mine shows decemeber 13 until january 3?! Really? and then they claimed that it is even more, on their end the website shows to them that it is on december 19, so.... even more far away. It doesnt matter what people think about me after i say the following thing because i have already proven this over and over and over again. TMOBILE IS BUILT UP IN LIES! And only i know what i have been through the past 3 weeks and a half.
Perhaps you're an ass and they keep delaying your order on purpose?
Same thing happened to me. Preordered on Oct 18th and my estimated ship date was 11/25 - 12/16. The store I preordered from actually had then in stock so I cancelled my order and just bought it there. Somehow my $200 trade in credit I submitted was approved.
