How to get free Sprint Extended Battery online - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I finally figured out how to order one of these online. All you have to pay is shipping.

This will work for anyone, even if they don't have a galaxy nexus or a Sprint account.
Get them while you can!

Just ordered!!!!

well i ordered a second one

Wish I had a CARD! Got the money, have no card. I wanted two so I can swap, but they said I was only allowed one (waved shipping over the phone) but sent other people TEN!

The evo 4g lte that was supposed to be released yesterday has nfc. Hopefully it will be released soon.I am excited to try it.
I am reading this forum trying to educate myself. I have seen videos online where nfc was in your front door of your house and could you could open your door with your phone.

It is possible, I've seen threads on it and I know you can buy NFC enabled batteries and mod them but that's too much work. I sold my Evo 3D and bought a Galaxy Nexus. I'm not much of an HTC fan.

I'm going to go ahead and call BS now. There aren't any batteries that contain NFC in them. You can't add NFC to a battery and then magically interface it to a phone that has no NFC support.
Provide a source to back yourself up.

Has anyone returned their t-mobile gs3?

Has anyone returned their t-mobile galaxy s3? Was there a restocking fee and how much? Cause I talked to t-mobile about the buy one get one free deal and asked if I could still get it even though I already bought the phone a week ago and they said no. I don't get why they said no when I could just return it and buy the galaxy s3 and get the deal..
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
I thought it doesn't apply to the s3?
Sent from my SGH-T999
Usually it's a $50 restocking fee.
You'll have to purchase both phones and then you'll get a rebate for the other one, so just a heads up if you do it like this.
Also, I think it takes a min for your upgrade to appear again. Not sure when the sale ends, but this might give you problems.

Oh. I was gonna get the galaxy s2 for free as a upgrade on another line, but t-mobile said I couldn't get the deal cause I got the phone before the deal started. Wow..

I don't get why you're mad about this? Why should they send you a free GS2 when you already completed your order? Makes no sense. You buy a phone before you even know about the bogo deal, then you find out about the deal and call them and tell them to send you a free GS2? How stupid is that? Common sense buddy. Sorry for flaming you.

Bought a Galaxy S III off Craigslist - Stuck in Demo Mode - Fixed it.

So, some n00b tried to pull a fast one on me and sell me a S3 that was stuck in demo mode. Didn't notice when I first got it because I was in a rush. Phone is absolutely in MINT condition, looks like it's been in a box forever. I'm thinking it was owned by a store to display in a transparent cube box thing? I don't know. I know it isn't stolen, though. It has all the paperwork and whatnot.
Anyway, it kept booting into demo mode, and it wasn't just an app, it was a bunch, it didn't allow USB Debugging or mounting, etc.
So, I tried to ODIN, same thing.. it formatted everything, but demo mode was still there.
I researched, seems no one has had this problem.
So, me not trying to panic, I thought logically. I thought it may be written in the NAND.
Therefore, a simple tick with ODIN 'NAND Erase All' did the trick.
Just wanted to share my story with you guys. This S3 will be my mom's phone as I have a white one.
Happy flashing!
how much did you bought it
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
$350. I think it was a decent deal.
$350 on a non-subsidized is a great deal.

It really sounds stolen, I can't think of why a device intended for purchase would ever have demo mode on, and paperwork is easy enough to fake. Although hopefully for your sake it's not! It's possible an employee stole it, so it's possible it won't ever be reported as stolen.
craigslist bs
Just recently had issues with few people on craigslist, in the past month two issue. Never once have I had an issue before with any trade or purchase before.
Issue one: traded my galaxy s2 for a galaxy nexus, everything looked to be in working order. Well it has never crossed my mine to check the "usb port" to ensure it charges properly. Ended up sending it in to samsung for repair, that was a nightmare its been nearly a month and I've had no updates on my phone plus it was suppose to be shipped out twice already yet it wasn't. Total debacle! Complaint has been issued and working to resolve it.
Issue 2: Purchased a galaxy note for $260 box and everything with it. I had planned to purchase and trade it for a galaxy s3, set up times to meet both people. Purchased the note that morning at 8:00am and then met up with the seller of the galaxy s3 by about 9am. We exchange phones and check them out the, note excellent condition and gs3 was as well. Seller was unable to test it on t-mobile since he didn't have sim coming from the gs3. Galaxy s3 was unlocked which I need since I'm on local carrier. Few days go buy and I am contacted by the person who I traded the note to. Well it has been blocked by t-mobile, (fraud).
I never worried about this since I'm on a local carrier and once the phone is unlocked I'm good to go. First time ever for this to happen, I have always been honest and open about my transactions I do on ebay & craigslist. Its buyer beware as usual,

Is there a way to check if the phone is clean?
I'd have to call T-Mobile, eh?

It was most likely stolen by an associate from the store. Demo phones come with all the paperwork it just states demo on the box somewhere (usually but not always). So definitely stolen, there isn't any other way to get a demo.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
Most likely a store demo that was stolen. 50/50 shot of it being blacklisted or not. Depends on if the store it was stolen from was lazy and just deactivated the sim that was in it and called it good or took it further and sent in the imei to get blocked.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2
I don't know how long it would take for them to block the imei if it had been reported but I'm guessing that it wouldn't take more than a couple days and with that said op (hopefully) is in the clear

Just for your info, it can take 30 to 45 days before it gets locked. Conceivably, you may not be out of the locking woods yet. I hope for the op sake, it doesn't get locked, but......

Geez I'm surprised to see people pushing their opinions on others. Don't listen, Gnex is a great device!

it would have been better to wait for the n4 imo.. but the gnex is a awesome phone with alot of development so i am sure you will like it
Congrats for the phone. I myself jumped to the wagon of galaxy S2 a year later when s3 was just around the corner. I didn't regret a bit. Same now with galaxy nexus.. Not regretting it a bit.. Got it a fortnight ago. The ready baked development and mature kernels trump it all. Enjoy your phone

Just to know you are not alone, I got my GNex yesterday. Upgraded from my Epic. I didn't want to leave Sprint, so no N4 for me. Decided to save my upgrade for next year and buy a used Gnex off eBay. Infinitely better than my Epic and probably good enough to last me another year.
Jason
I'd prefer this phone over the n4 personally..
ignore all the hate! welcome to the forums
While I would have waited for the N4, don't worry because the Gnex kicks serious ass anyway. A lot of Gnex owners including myself aren't upgrading because the Gnex is a beast!
I'm planning to do the same. Do you think the price will go down when the N4 is released? Really low on money but I just can't take this X2 still on Gingerbread.
Sent from my MB870 using xda app-developers app
Again, you are not alone. I also jumped on this ship. Snatched a Gnex on Ebay for US$232.00 shipped. Great deal. In my case, right now i can't afford the Nexus 4 because spending US$300.00 is out of my reach. Simple as that. And even if i could spend USD$300.00, i would still consider the Gnex over the Nexus 4 because of the storage. 8Gb is waaay to low. 16gb is already low, but i think i can make it with it, but 8gb is out of the question. Not to mention that Play Store doesn't sell devices on my country, but i still wanted a Nexus device for the updates and the optimized software, so this was my only option. Im coming from a AT&T SG2. Great device but not a Nexus.

Free i515 GRUVER concepts Custom XDA Door.....

Hey Gents,
Was going through some old stock and came across an XDA door from our original contest. This is a standard i515 door for your Verizon GNEX.
There is nothing that I would like to do more than to send this away to a forum member for free.
Simply respond to this thread if you are interested. On Saturday March 2nd at 9pm PST I will put the names in a drawing and get the door out to the winner on Monday.
Well I'd love in on this if I'm able to.
Thanks for the opportunity .
You are just so kind! It'd be awesome if I could get it! Thank you so much for the chance!
I'm definitely interested!

I'm interested for sure. Been lurking xda for a long time since my first droid x. I just started an account not too long ago. But I'd love to have my gnex advertise xda on it!
Would love this, the stock one doesn't feel right with a non-stock, fully modded phone really
