Okay so I remember back when I had the galaxy nexus they offered me a RAZR and couple others as replacement to the nexus.
If I'm just not happy with my galaxy s4 for obvious reasons. Does anyone know if they'll downgrade you to the note 2 upon request.

you know, I think you have to go through a series of replacements and tech support calls before that will happen. Their excuse is that's what the 14 days are for and the G'nex had documented faulty radios so the tech support had that offer as an option for people with Gnex phones that had issues.
Yeah I just got off the phone with them. I have a me7 device. And it probably won't ever see unlock. And stock is well.. Stock

I'm debating between buying an s4 of Swappa since you have safestrap for me7, or buying a gpe or developer edition.
I could save a couple hundred bucks using swappa but I have to deal with all the crap that comes with me7. The dev edition sends to be the best option.
Any opinions?

I'm rocking HyperDrive via SS on ME7. Absolutely daily driver. Will I try a new kernel WHEN able? You bet!
But I really like my phone as is, and live quite happily with it.
I am running a highly modified stock me7 backed up with SS. It's fast and configured just the way I like it. I am very happy. I might flash a Rom but to be honest I am content.
Please go here for any more discussion http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2406733
I have a stock rooted S4 I got as a replacement from asurion, for a S3, it's on ME7, I have not activated it. Just thoughts from the community, I am a long time aosp user, anti touch jizz since fascinate days. Should I keep the s4 and bear with it on rooted stock or send it back and get another S3?

Put nova launcher lol.
It's much better device however I will patiently wait for few months then hopefully bootloader will be unlocked.
you can try to exchange it (or sell it and buy) for a mdk s4

Why wouldn't they? People buy the one. It's just an htc one with a note 3ish size screen and larger battery + sd card slot finally. I just want reliable and fast 4g again, something I can't have with my s4.
Edit: just read some reviews on the one max. Disappointing. Now I really don't know what I'm going to do for a phone. Maybe back to my rez.

Does anyone honestly believe a unlock method is being worked on?

mint condition. Never dropped. No scratches. Kind of undecided what to do with it now. The only thing keeping me on the s4 is 5in screen and battery life. Was definitely getting rid of it before I read the one max review, now I'm not sure what to do

Yeah, first you gotta figure out if you selling or keeping.
I honestly don't see any reason for any other phone at the moment. If I can get it unlocked I'm straight for a year or more.

Yeah I know. Your best bet may be a dev edition. I really don't think an unlocked bootloader is coming unless samsung leaves a door open for someone to get into in a future update.

This blows extremely. Let me know if you decide to sell yours. Or if you wake up and decide touchwiz is your friend I'll trade with ya

Yeah I don't know that One design just doesn't scale well. I mean look at a One compared to a Moto X, it's a joke. They have the same screen size but the Moto X is almost the same size as an iPhone while the One is bigger than our phone. So the BoomSound speakers plus the 5.9" screen means it massive. It only has a Snapdragon 600 after all these devices are coming out with the 800. It loses OIS, which ruins the whole point of their "UltraPixels" with the larger light aperture, in favor of a fingerprint reader which so far hasn't been reviewed very well. Apple integrated the reader into the experience of the iPhone by putting it right on the home button, the One Max makes the same mistake as the Motorola Atrix. Furthermore, it doesn't even retain the best part of the One design, the unibody aluminum shell. It features a plastic ring around the phone like our S4 as well as an apparently spotty removable back that doesn't even feature a removable battery. Very disappointed in the One Max.
Has anyone recently gotten a S4 refurb? I ask because I have a slight screen issue (screen fades brighter at the bottom) and I would like to get one that doesn't have this problem. It's starting to bother me. Anyway, I will not use a ME7 or above device, I will not tolerate being stuck to safe strap. So is there a chance I would get a MDK device? Or are all of them being shipped with new software? If so, does anyone have any suggestions for a fix that doesn't involve vzw or a few hundred dollars?
Thanks.

Since the KitKat release, has anyone been sent a warranty replacement? I'm curious if you got a 4.3 or 4.4 software. My S4 is being replaced and I'm hoping for a 4.3
Thanks
I received a replacement last Monday and it was 4.3.

Coming back from a Vendor, I'd expect that. I'd bet that Verizon has stock plies of phones on shelves ready to go. I don't think they'd open each on to update.

Agreed, I got my same phone back from Samsung though, they replaced the screen, speaker and mic. I didn't get my phone from Verizon (got it from BestBuy) so I had to go through MNFR for the warranty.
I had to send my MDK in and got an NC5 back. Not happy at all!! I received it last Wednesday. Made an account on swappa to hopefully make a trade but who wants an NC5 S4 piece of....... you know!
