To uninstall many junk apps preloaded by Samsung:
- Download, install, and launch the Minimal ADB and Fast Boot tool on your PC.
- Download, install, and launch the App Inspector app on the phone.
- On your phone, go to Settings and tap on About Phone. Find the Build Number and tap on it 7 times to enable Developer Options.
- Enter Developer Options and enable USB Debugging.
- Connect the phone to the PC via the supplied USB cable.
- Change to "file transfer (MTP)" mode at the phone.
- You will see a prompt on your phone asking you to authorize a connection with the computer. Grant it.
- Enter the command "adb devices" (no ") at the command prompt (PC screen).
- Enter the command "adb shell" if you see the serial number of the phone displayed. If not, then remove/reconnect the USB cable, grant connection, and retype the "adb devices" command.
- Enter pm uninstall -k --user 0 <name of package> for the app that you want to uninstall as displayed in App Inspector.
For Example, to remove youtube: pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.youtube
To restore youtube: cmd package install-existing com.google.android.youtube

Hopefully costco would give the cash deal. I hate the 24 months bill credit. Anybody know if my iPhone 11 has couple months to go, it would lose the bill credit if I pay it off early

That is the correct offer that's been documented in the first post and wiki for awhile now. iPhone 12 Mini offer is half off its $730 price so $365.

For the iPhone 12 mini
$365 credit for trading in 6s, 6s Plus, 6, 6 Plus, SE1, and SE2, 5S, 5, 5c, 4S, 4, 3GS, 3G, Original iPhone
Ya, I saw it, was just hoping it wasn't so specific to the iphone 12 Mini. Wanted to go a bit bigger

for my HTC EVO 4g - Sprint Freedompop ; did below for trade-in.. hopefully, no issues..
took the 18 digits of MEID DEC and used the 14 digits and one digit form below calc and submitted.

"IMEI is 15-digit serial numbers. the first 14 digits of an IMEI is its MEID, and the last digit is a "check digit" which can be calculated with a formula. here's a calculator to find an IMEI's 15th digit if you have ESN/MEID: https://www.imei.info/calc"

Tax kills the deal.

A 12 mini would cost me $60.23 in salex tax on full price + $365 + $30 in sim/activation fees = $455 total
I was sent a free Sim with my kids iphone 12, and activated it my self. No $30.

My MEID is 18 digits, though.

Looks like it allows me to select a line with EIP credit already for the A32 trade in, I thought a line is limited to 1 active EIP max?
It might let you select but don't select if you already know that there's a EIP on that line already.

They charge sales tax on the $6.99 shipping also? Or is this a glitch?

Thanks. If I did that, would the s21 bill credits continue alongside the new ones for the a32? Otherwise I can't see how I benefit by paying off s21 upfront
Not sure the a32 part. I did pay off one of my SE last month to before request for unlocked and I am continuing receive promote credit from account level (not associated with the line anymore from the bill statement) and the line show available for upgrade...

what's fb chat ? facebook chat ?
Yes. But apparently they do charge $20 per upgrade but they can give you the IMEI info based on your old MEID info somehow and they you can do it yourself. That's what I'm in process of doing

How about the postage for your old trade-in device shipped to tmobile?

Do they charge another $7? Or this portion is free? That means the $7 copvers both way shipping?

I received this message from T-Mobile

"A quote of $0 was accepted for your Samsung xxxx with serial number xxxxxxxxx. Please send your old T-Mobile device within 30 days of receiving the new one."

Does it mean I still get the promotion? I am confused.
Spoke to rep. They said the actual value of the phone will be $0.00, but a promotional montly bill credit will be 282/24 months. This is consistent with the iphone 11 i traded in for the iphone 12. It's not $830, but 2xx and then the rest will be covered over 24 months.

Ok, just got back from store. Here is my experience:

1.) Tried to trade in a 4S for half off mini 12, was told and shown something on a phone that said has to be 6 or above. I believe the store reps just didn't want to do it. I'll try to do it via phone or online.
2.) I was able to trade in old blackberry curve for "free" A32. I have no faith in the reps as they didn't even take my blackberry, I still have it, lol. So i will keep an eye on my account that they did it right. The receipt i got shows nothing about promotion.

Any ideas?
