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

Deal was better under Sprint - iPhone 12 free w/trade of iPhone8 or higher... upgraded 3 lines yesterday!
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

Though for me this was interesting that 5G speed in a t mobile store on their device was 11mbps and 4g/LTE speed on their device was 8mbps

Do the iphone promos qualify for the unlimited data upgrade too? Or just the A32 promo?

I ordered four A32 phones online. Can I do the trade in at the store to make sure that they accept them. Will I have to pay $20 per line service fee if I go to store?

Unlimited 5G data upgrade is a separate promotion, not relate to phone promotion. If you have a limited data plan, they will upgrade your existing voice lines to unlimited. All the information is on the wiki.

No, you'll have to do your trade in by mail. The only time you can trade it in in-store is if you purchase in-store and the phone is in stock at the store.

Costco also does Recurring Credits, unfortunate, but still good deal

OP talks about how to keep the recurring credits by paying off EIP, which is true, but I have no experience with trading the phone away before the credits are done.
Folks,
I have confirmed 100 times above that once you pay off the existing EIP, the credits will move to the account level and you can start a new EIP/credits on the SAME line !
See below,
I paid off my iPhone-12 fully from Feb month promo (P1), got it unlocked as well, then just started this new iPhone-12 mini promo (P6) on the same line and both show up just fine !
And yes, if you need the device unlocked then you need to use those devices as well, at least leave the SIM inside for a few days (if not 40 days) with the device turned on otherwise they refuse to unlock !
In other words, you can NOT keep the device unopened in the drawer and then ask for unlock after 40 days !

If you have received A32 5G from this deal, can you please let me know, if it comes with any plastic screen protector on it?

"Unlimited TradeUp

Existing T-Mobile or Sprint customers on an older data-limited plan will be upgraded to unlimited data for free. Not a plan change, just an unlimited data add-on"

It's still unclear to me. So if I have a limited data plan, then all my lines will be upgraded to unlimited automatically? I don't have to do anything?

Sir if I may ask, I understand why one would unlock their phone, but always held off since it can be done at anytime, that being coming from a theft perspective if I were to lose the phone it now has more possibilities as opposed to just being locked to Tmobile? Thanks

Yesss that is exactly correct if you are on sprint OR tmobile with any grandfathered limited data plan it has or will be upgraded automatically to 5G unlimited plan..the hotspot may or may not have a hard cap but on device data is not gonna be throttled like before for 2GB simple choice it would slow down to 128KBPs unusable speed after using up the 2GB high speed LTE data.

I am now at around 40+ GB Used on my simple choice 2gb line and still getting high speed data. Also if your phone is 5G enabled you will get 5G and LTE both unlimited very sweet 😊.

Logic is good...but only on paper...lol
The thief doesn't care or know BEFORE stealing your phone if it's locked or unlocked ;-)
And once he steals it and realizes that it's locked, he ain't returning it back to you, he will find out a way to unlock it or sell it as is i.e. locked !

On top of that, with the google activation lock, you can't factory reset and then sign in with a different account. The phone is basically a brick unless the bootloader is unlocked (which it isn't).
