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.

- 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

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

Has anyone experienced this message? "Your package will arrive later than expected, but is still on its way. It is currently in transit to the next facility."?
I shipped it out on 4/28. Should I worry?
Mine was the same way... I shipped out 4/28 and it just got delivered today 5/18; almost a month later!

Quote from NKAR :
I had similar issue (tradein accepted but credits promo removed) and I messaged T-Mobile in facebook messenger. They cheked and mentioned some issue with trade-in, but could not tell me what was the issue ( had traded in a new flip phone with IMEI). They were able to add the credit back. All took around 15 mins via messenger chat. Try it if you have not yet done this.
I appreciate it!

Al tough I don't have facebook or twitter, I will have to use my wife's ...Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)

Agreed, monitor your account for changes.

Mine had EIP credits removed 10 days ago, even tough my account still shows "assessed value matches estimated value". Too many calls during this period to customer service asking me to wait for system to update or for them to fix did not help. Initially they said possible system error - wait till the end of the month.

Device was inspected and trade in processed in store, but had to mail in since they had no A32s in stock.
Today after calling in again I was told there is a "display" issue with trade in. No explanation no images or proof of the "issue". They even said phone could have been damaged in transit but its not their problem.

They would not even considered my video of phone working prior to shipping, said they had no way to receive it. Or make a claim with the shipper, or go back to the store to see if they could do something.

O yeah they also said I could MAIL a letter to customer relations.

I've done 5 trade ins prior to this one with no issues (5 lines). First time in about 5 years customer service gives me the impression they do not care and cant do anything about it.

If anyone has an email I could use to escalate or another or suggestion I would appreciate it.
T-Force on Twitter typically provides the best service compared to regular care.

Otherwise contact Executive Support by emailing the CEO [email protected]
He doesn't actually respond, but the issue is delegated to an Executive Response team that has a lot of power to resolve issues like this.

Good advice about contacting T-Force on FB/Twitter for most all things. Especially an A32 trade that was valued at $0 anyways because it was a flip phone. Please don't contact Exec Care (i.e. Sievert's office) for issues with one of those trade issues as it's really not necessary whatsoever, and will be fixed on the spot by T-Force. Perhaps if you ship a pristine iP11 towards an iP12 and you run into issues, then by all means if T-force doesn't fix it, then contact Sievert's office. . .but otherwise you will be clogging up the higher response team, and waiting for days, when you could have gotten what you wanted anyways in a few minutes through FB/Twitter chat. . .and if you go through the EXEC route, they scrutinize your account in the process as well (for those that might not want that account scrutiny). . .just my opinion

EDIT: My experience with EXEC care team has been great, if I can show it isn't trivial (i.e. being denied credit on a $0 flip phone) that I had been denied after ordering online and then from T-Force as well. My experience with them without the previous denials (or special circumstances beyond T-Force reach) has been a waste of time, in days. . .But when you get into the impossible pinch, and they know it, they are the best in the end.

I see the credits on my bill even though I didn't receive text for 1 of my trade in. I actually received a reminder to send my trade in. Does this mean I am good? Will the promo remain going forward?

It's not updated like the approved trade in but I was charged. 29 cents for the promo because the rep who did the order chose the wrong model for the trade in which valued the trade in at $7.

I shipped 2 on 5/8...one I got an alert on last week...and one I just got an alert today. Also check the tracking # to see if it was delivered just to make sure.

Dang got denied on trade in saying it was water damaged. Anything else I can do or just sol?

Update: I dm them on twitter saying why it was denied and they said they couldn't do anything, so at the end of the twitter conversation i gave them the lowest satisfaction rating. Then a little while later a supervisor called me apologizing about the situation and offering me 50% off the phone, so i took it as it was better then nothing. So all is not lost if you got denied.

A $282 error is not trivial. The issue some people are having is not the loss of a $0 device. It is that the denial of the device for trade-in then nullifies the trade-in promotion entirely, thereby cancelling out $282 in bill credits. The end result of the denial is therefore being stuck with the A32 for a cost of $282 rather than $0.

That being said, I agree, try resolving the matter with T-Force first. However, I advise anyone to escalate any issue if necessary. The onus of these errors should not be on the customer. It is on T-Mobile.

If Exec Care doesn't want people bombarding them with "trivial" issues, then perhaps T-Mobile should better train their entire staff to 1) not F-up these deals in the first place, and 2) resolve any issues promptly and competently when they do arise.

Oh this is interesting… I finally got my $206 trade in credit for my iPhone 11, but instead of making my bill balance negative it went toward an EIP for another device on my EIP list… so it pays it down so now I'm in the…. I hope the EIP credits will still come after the device is fully paid

When I placed my order with a rep, she asked me the one time credit will be applied to my bill or device EIP. Looks like they have an option on their side. If you place the order by yourself, the default option will be bill credit.

Where on your bill or in your account specifically do you see the $206 applied toward an EIP on a particular device?

I think T-Mobile did the same for my $206 trade-in credit, but for the life of me I cannot see where that credit was applied and to which EIP, since I have many devices on EIP.
