My old L9 died and T-Mobile sent me a replacement. I want to sell this phone, but its not paid off yet. Is it possible to sell it, buy another phone and use it on T-Mobile and pay on the L9(while not owning it anymore) each month and still be in good standing with the carrier?

It's possible but be careful about your next phone. Make sure it's compatible with t mobile or its unlocked. As long as you keep paying your phone off it shouldn't be a problem. Good luck

I bought my note outright from best buy and noticed has doodles and pics of customers and employees.
I didn't know.i was paying fall price for what could possibly be a display model.
What should i do? Can I get a discount?

Take it back and get a new one. They either sold you a floor model or one that has been opened by the guys in back. Of course once you're out the door they could say it was you that did all those things...are there any photos of people in the BB stock room or anything that are obvious? Or demand a discount since you got a used item. I would be furious if I paid full price for something that other people had been pawing at for who knows how long.
Also, after this is resolved, if you're still using the same device, hard-reset it and start fresh. Who knows what free apps and malware may be installed on it. Obviously don't do that first or you'll destroy the evidence that the phone was used.
I looked at the photo details and they're from February. I didn't buy the phone until march 10.
Only thing keeping me from taking it back is i dinto want to simply unlock it again.

And yes, two pics of best buy employees.

I'm sure they'll exchange it for you, but if you don't want to unlock it, you could (depending on how much of a negotiator you are) go back and see if they'll knock a few bucks back to you... Clearly the phone was either a demo or used in some way, even if briefly. Keep the photos on there if you want to prove it was as you say.

And they sold it to you as "new?"
I would complain.
I would complain HARD. Directly to the highest management you can find when you get there. That's absolutely outrageous.
Those looser employees should get fired, it is against policy to open a package and use it.
It's happened before.

I would complain as well as report it to as many news agencies as you can find, along with the pictures.
Gotta love Best Buy lol. If you work there sorry, nothing against you. But my local BB workers are a bunch of clowns. Rip em a new one lol

Went up there and complained. They offered me a new one. I told them I'll think about it and walked out.
I don't want to unlock another one again.

outright ? meaning you paid full retail price ?
if so then i would either keep it and wait OR take it back and go elsewhere to buy the phone... keep in mind you might get hit with a restocking fee
So I have Verizon Wireless and I am eligible for an upgrade now.
I want to pick up this phone and I am looking to spend about 199.99 with a new 2yr activation with the renewal of my contract.
I am trading in my old HTC Rezound at best buy which is ROOTED and FLASHED for $50 plus best buy is offering a $50 gift card towards the purchase of any Samsung Mobile phone I am told.
Does anyone recommend any other tips or suggestions possibly before purchasing and renewing my contract with Verizon and/or purchasing the phone at best buy?
I would greatly appreciate it thanks!
I look forward to possibly start making this THREAD my new home.

You know you could get more if you sold the rezound. Also in the next week you could get the s4 in 32GB version you may want to think about that. Buying from best buy is better then at VZW they price match Amazon and wirefly sometimes. I know because they have done it for me. And you get 30 days return and exchange. I also don't think they charge an upgrade fee which is $35 at VZW.

There is still an upgrade fee that gets tacked on to the first months bill. You also only now get 15 days to exchange or return (unless you're platinum) but still have to do so within Verizon's 14 day grace period to get the upgrade back. Their protection plan is good though despite what some people say... Quick unlimited replacements with no deductible and the majority of employees couldn't tell the phone was rooted even if the damn thing was stuck in the cm boot loop so no worries there

Yeah my phone is rooted and I can't sell it because some of the hardware has gone bogus and malfunctions. So HOPEFULLY when I trade it in at best buy they don't give me grief for it being rooted and flashed.

If there are hardware issues they might not take it at all. They probably wouldn't notice the root/flash part though

Well to be honest all it is is that when I'm making a call sometimes it goes to speaker mode and then switches back when I have it placed right next to my ear. Its bogus. Lol. and that only happens sometimes not all the time

Hey guys, so i am probably the first to crack this screen ..fell out of my pocket getting out my car....nearly cried...screen unresponsive except a 1x1 inch area... I think phone works okay otherwise from what i can seee
No insurance obviously why im posting... Does anyome have any experience sending back to lg to get it repaired? I got a quote from a place in chinatown ny for 200... And lg wont quote me until i send it in...was wondering what others have done or recomendations.... I have an upgrade on my plan i can steal so i can also sell the phone ebay...but not suring how well that would go.....
What ya'll think?
Dunno, what version is it? Maybe you can make a dev very happy with it, if you give up on it.
Selling it for parts might only work later in its life cycle

If you got some spare time and nifty fingers you could wait for replacement screens to be sold. Or maybe use it as a htpc or something.
I have insurance with T-Mobile because I just joined them and their Jump program includes it but when I was with Sprint my ex broke her S3 and we had no insurance, I just called them up and asked for it on the phone and they added it and then I waited a few days and put in my claim and got a new phone after paying deductible. So give it a shot and call and ask to add insurance, maybe you'll get lucky.
List it on eBay you will be shocked as to what you will get for it.

Nah. Some guys girl broke hers like 2 days ago. Threads around here somewhere.

Add the insurance if you don't have it. You have 30 days to do it and the phone hasn't even been out that long so you can definitely add it. Wait a couple days and make a claim. It'll cost you $199 on most carriers, maybe all of them, but it's a hell of a lot cheaper than buying a new one. And if you want to keep the old one for some reason or donate it to a dev somewhere as suggested earlier then report it as lost or stolen. You won't be able to use it on any carriers but for development or WiFi functions you could still use it up to you.

It might be difficult to replaced the screen yourself. I remember reading somewhere that LG fused the LCD screen and glass together to make the display clearer.

thanks for all the replies, i actually tried adding the insurance but made the extremely dumb move in filing the claim the same day cause i was really anxious about it and had to switch to my old gnex cause i needed a phone...
LG quoted me for replacement anywhere from 100-180 not including shipping it to them...but i have 2 extra upgrades available so i think im gonna try to sell it on ebay and use that money to buy the replacement....
if all fails i would be happy to give it to dev team, better than a paper weight here..
gonna def get a case and screen protector for next phone....

I found this http://www.aliexpress.com/item/For-...zer-Assembly-Replacement-Part/1278291568.html
I recently pre-ordered a 32gb oppo N1! They began shipping the 16gb models on the 10th, but for some reason they aren't filling orders for the 32gb model yet. :-\ Very disappointed because they did not advise me of this when placing my order and I was expecting mine to ship on the 10th! They did however advise me on the 10th that they weren't filling 32gb orders until further notice. I did notice on the website you can only add the 16gb one to your cart, when you switch specs to the 32gb model it has no option to add to cart. Anyways back on track! I am considering giving my L9 away to some lucky developer to help the community! That way they can do some serious testing without the fear of ruining their phone or wasting their money! The only issue I'm having is figuring out how to know I'm giving it to a person that will actually use it for that purpose and not just use/sell it for their personal benefit. Plus the actual task of selecting the person! I'm hoping you guys can give me some ideas on figuring this out! Let me know your ideas and what you think!

I can't believe how cheap this phone has become, I put mine on swappa to see the offers I got and people were saying $120 in great condition, I paid £250 for mine only 10 months ago! That's about $400!
