I sent my Galaxy Fold in as my trade for the new one. When initially received, I was told it was accepted and credited accordingly. Now, more than 10 days later, I’m being told I sent in a device I don’t think I’ve ever owned and certainly not the one in the box. They say I owe them $800 since the device in the box was an S7 which cannot be traded for the new Fold. What do I do?
it happened to me yesterday as well, i traded my galaxy watch with active 2, the value was $74, which is not big deal compare to your device, so they said i sent them something other than galaxy watch, but they didn't specify, and a link to get it back, so i requested to send it back, and i am waiting for it. it seems there is some sort of trade in packages that mixed up some how.
Similar thing happened to me when I traded in my son's old iPad mini 4 and purchased new iPad 5th generation. Apple valued the iPad over the net $90.00 and then after we purchased new iPad they send me the old iPad back stating that camera doesn't work. It was working when we send it in.
I have traded recently my old Samsung tablet S4 for the new S7+ and they gave me $300.00 credit. I wonder if it's going go through without any problems....

I've been tracking S4 prices of ripbay for a while and having been shocked to see they've fallen very quickly over the last 8 weeks. In the UK you couldn't pick up a S4 for under £350 8 weeks ago, now £310-£320 is common and I've seen phones go as low as £275.
Is this because people are trying/moving to the iphone 5 I wonder?
If sammie got their finger out and started shipping the i9506 with larger memory it could help popularity again......

it's probably because of the note 3. also other makers too but i would think the iPhone has the least effect. no one's excited about the 5s this year like it was last year
btw i think you should look at phones more like computers where you don't need to upgrade every 2 years anymore. that's how comps were in the 90s but now ive had my laptop for 7 years before replacing it. the mobo burnt and i want to play gta5 when it comes to pc
with this phone, the only reason to upgrade is camera quality will be better in a few years
Uhh, the S4 was released end apr/may, so 8 weeks ago the phone had only been out around 2 months? Now it's been about 4-5 months.. So used phones being sold now are probably 'more used' than they were 8 weeks ago. Not surprised they're getting cheaper.
Also I'm guessing that people who wanted the s4 when it first came out more or less have gotten it by now, so less demand = lower prices.
The main factor as to why the S4 is dropping so quick is because, newer faster smartphones are about to be released such as the G2, Z1, Note 3 ect.
Plus S4 is now considered old tech in smartphone terms, hence why it's dropping in price so quickly, and it's retail price as also dropped considerably since it was released back in late April.
If you go back to the S2 days that held it price right up to the point the S3 was released, simple because at the time there was nothing out from anybody else that could touch it, I got best part of £300 for my S2 that was a year old, there is no way on earth i'll get that next year for my S4, when the time comes to getting shut for the S5.
Just way things are now with Android Smartphones.
Yeah I've seen the same as well, I'm going to try and get about £350 for it now and just wait for the nexus 5, was really disappointed by this phone

welcome to the competitive world
Whats the lowest you have seen for Galaxy S4 I9505 new? I still dont see them at that price unless you go second hand....
Pretty sure that brand new prices dropping equals used price dropping...
My family's AT&T contact is eligible for upgrade this October and I wondering what we should we get. Right now the 4 of us each have a Samsung Galaxy S4 and like them, but they are our only smart phone we have so we like to upgrade so we can have our S4s as good backup phones if anything happens. We don't want an iPhone or metal phone. I was interested in the Nexus 6 but I feel it might be too big for me (and I know it is to big for my sister, she needs a phone that be used one handed because of a physical disability, so I think nothing bigger than 5.2 at the maximum for her). We would like to try and wll have the same phone model, but not required as long as it is android.

Hello
Ive had my Note 5 for 10 days now, coming from an HTC One M7 of 2 years 8 months and felt it was finally time for an upgrade. Ive been a long supporter of HTC products since the EVO 4G days but lately have felt differently about the company so it was time to move on and finally make a change
One of the companies i looked to naturally was HTC's main competitor Samsung. In the past i have said negative things about Samsung. Ive always thought their products were overhyped, overpriced, gimmicky and sometimes unoriginal and that they were lucky to be successful because of their marketing budget. Never liked the bloatiness, not customizable friendly and bland UI of Touchwiz. However i cannot knock Samsung for their displays, has always been the best in its class.
The only product i thought about buying from Samsung at one time was the Galaxy S3, but Touchwiz was the main reason i stayed away. Ive always taken an interest to the Note series but wasnt ready to handle a screen of that size. the phablet idea was ahead of its time though. While i have been critical of Samsung and said their marketing is the reason they are the #1, i will be fair and say they have been more forward thinking in their ideas lately
I actually was more interested in getting a Nexus 6P than a Note 5. However the Note 5 was more convenient and affordable for me without having to switch carriers so the next best thing after the 6P is the Note 5. Also considered getting a S6Edge/Edge+ but thats where the gimmicky and overpriced mantra comes into play.
The camera was the main draw for me, followed by the S-pen functionality. I will miss the front stereo speakers of my M7 though and some of the friendly customizations of Sense. Still trying to get used to Touchwiz but i like it or hate it the Note 5 will be my phone for the next 2 years hopefully i will mostly like it. Its about time i give Samsung a shot so i can fairly criticize it!
Right now i mostly love it but the battery life is a bit of a letdown, hoping Marshmallow update fixes this! The screen, camera, multitask window and s-pen is all what i expected and makes it a nice upgrade over the m7
I had a Nexus 5, i broke the screen. Was replaced with this device for $100 insurance deductible (not bad). Phone rocks but i'm living in touchwiz hell.

Nope not bad at all.
I hate how the app drawer is on the right but can't find a way to move it to the middle of the dock. Is there any way to rearrange it without having to find a replacement UI and therefore drain my battery more? Lol.
had the note 2 time for a upgrade
plus I got some cool gifts
these were the cool gifts
I've been sitting a year out of contract because the SD810 disaster and a garbage generation of phones.
Sprints LTE band2 has always been garbage in Phoenix AZ, so I was getting fed up with 3Mbit at best with full signal).
I was very close to getting a cheaper older phone at T-Mobile until this deal happened.
It was $50 at best buy, and their insurance is great. Also the $100 Samsung pay gift code to get a gear vr for free. The holiday gift pack is just a surprise bonus I'm also trying to take advantage of.
The deal was too good to pass up and I stuck with Sprint, I'm happy I did because the two extra LTE bands that I didn't have with my Optimus G make a world of difference. I will miss rooting though.

It might be too late to get the $100 coupon code, but if you do actually have it, here's the gear vr link.

After dealing with an increasingly slow s3 i finally had had enough of that phone. I was ready to throw it against the wall. I had that phone for two years plus it was already 2 years old by that time i think. Love the note 5. I hate the predictive text, mainly because i type fast and it doesn't always hey the word right and i have to stop and delete and retype...sometimes often. Otherwise I'm loving the phone, no complaints and not even rooted.
I am sad that Samsung abandoned this phone. I got my note the first day it came out in 2014. Went to work late to pick it up. Best phone I ever had.
But I have worn it out. just got the note 8 and am sadly disappointed. Especially with the notifications. So I have 10 days to rake this back. Does anyone know where I can find a real, new, Samsung note for t-mobile? Amazon and ebay all say they have new but it ends up being refurbished. ANY help you can provide would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
I'm curious how many have purchased the Samsung Care+ warranty for the Flip 4. I bought my phone during the pre-order and have 27 more days to enroll and have been debating it. I haven't ever accidentally damaged a phone (except an original Razr back in the day) but with the Flip/Folds I feel they are a bit more delicate than others and debating if it might be worth it. What are others opinions?
Yep. Think first 3 or 4 months free, then $8. Never bought insurance before, always got new phone every 1 or 2 years with insane trade in values, but this new design at $1k changed my mind.

If my understanding is correct it's only free in certain countries and the US is not one of them.
They gave it to me, and I'm in US. Went to website, plugged in my serial number, said I'm eligible, and it gave it to me. About 3 weeks ago and haven't been billed. Just logged in and says I'm covered. I did buy phone directly from Samsung unlocked.

Thanks, finally figured it out and went ahead and ordered it and supposedly got the 3 free months, their website is a PIA to navigate and just kept taking me around it circles for the longest!
