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

Hey folks silly question I got my Samsung phone finally but I'm not sure how to return the trade in back to them? Do I use the return label that came with the Samsung phone or was there a separate shipping label sent to us that we use to send in the trade in?

I had purchased the free A32 5G thru the Sprint site as I'm still a legacy Sprint customer and have not migrated to the GSM network yet (as I can do an APN hack on Samsung phones to get unlimited LTE hotspot on the legacy CDMA network even on my grandfathered $40 BYOD monthly plan)

In the shipping order, a "GIVEBACK RETURN KIT" was supposed included but I only see a prepaid UPS label shipping to 1950 USG Dr, Libertyville, IL and I doubt this is the correct trade-in return label.

Anyone with ordered thru Sprint's ordering platform can confirm how they returned their trade-ins?

I have bought one a32 and paid off the line with the idea of going for another A32 on the same line. How can I check if the device credit is carried over to the account level before initiating the next device purchase?

USPS tracking is super unreliable. I got nervous but had that experience before already in December last year, so trusted the process. Placed the old phone in mailbox over a week ago and no tracking updates whatsoever. Getting nervous. For a week all I can see is USPS awaiting item. Then today get update that it will be delivered tomorrow. Crazy.

If the EIP is closed and listed under completed you should be good. I would unlock the device first and wait one billing cycle closure and then initiate it to be on the safe side, but I have done otherwise myself before and it worked. If fact, I paid one off and initiated another 10 min later with the mothers day deal. It worked, but I think that could be "asking for trouble" and I guess ideally be avoided.

Is this A32 even woth the effort on this budget phone? Anyone using it? Comparisons to others? Camera appears rather mediocre and it's not a amoled screen. I see the A32 gets a better screen than this A32 5G

This works for phones still on the sprint cdma network I don't know about t-mobile gam one. It is basically adding dun to the apn type.

On Samsung phones dial ##3282# and click on Edit. Put in the MSL password 000000. Then edit the current apn and add dun to the end of the apn type field. If cannot edit, just create a new apn mirroring all the fields except to add the dun Part

Key difference is whether it is a different promotion for the second order on the same line. I doubt if you can get two a32s on the same line by paying off the first one because they are the same promotion and doing the same promotion on the same line again would cancel the previous promotional credits.

You mentioned that your second order on the same line was from a mother's day deal, which I assume was not a second a32.
Maybe someone who did two a32s on the same line can chime in.

wasn't there a trade in promo for a new phone that accepted A32 as $400+ value?

Are you on the legacy cdma sprint or on the gsm tmobile? I know for a fact the dun trick works well for the cdma legacy sprint network. looking for data points on whether the dun trick for unlimited LTE hotspot works on the GSM tmobile network before I activate and migrate my SIM to the tmobile gsm one.
