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

Activated and on network for 40 day and paid off. These days this actually seems to happen automatically, you don't even need to contact CSR any longer. The iPhones I paid off all unlocked automatically right away. The A32 5G you need to do manually on the phone.

I paid the first A32 5G off and the unlock request is already on the account, happened 5 seconds after I paid off. The phone can not be unlocked yet, as not past 40 days. I tried and got error messages. Essentially, the minute it arrived I put a working T-Mo SIM in and booted it up. It's since been in the drawer offline until the unlock requested after I paid. Then I tried and it failed. 40 days is Tuesday and then I will try to unlock on the phone. (Under "other network settings", hit request permanent unlock). Should work then on Tue as paid off and 40 days since first registration on T-Mobile network.
Did it work?

Does the A32 perform like hot garbage for anyone else? A couple peeps got it on our plan and they say it drops calls constantly.
My father has been telling me it drops but he's using wifi calling at home as we have terrible service there so I don't know if the phone is the issue.

No, needed to contact CSR to get the unlock fully registered in the device. Wasn't fully automatic. Quick chat via the app and then it was unlocked in 5 min.

This deal still works, I got the Samsung A32. CS said deal ends on 6/24.

The upgrade charge and tax together is $60+, so basically that's how much I paid for this phone. The $11.75 per month charge and credit equals out to be $0 per month. But I suspect if we change carrier half in the 24 month, then we'll need to pay for the rest of amount.

I traded in a super old Android phone I found, LG Optimus LS670 Sprint, it still power on, screen no crack. I took it to T-Mobile store tech looked at it and said no problem as long it powers on, no crack and no sign of water damage then any phone will work.

I have 5 lines, two lines got the A32 (free trade in). Can I pay off these two lines and then get A32 again on these two lines? I much prefer A32 over Nord N200. Thanks,

Traded in three phones at 12, 9, and 6 years old. First two phones were 3G only. No screen cracks, no water damage, booted up to home screen with no intervention. I cleaned them up, reset the software (required finding an SBF image for a Sprint Motorola XPRT and learning how to flash it!) and sent them in.

Accidentally sent two of the phones using the same shipping label, d'oh! After wringing my hands for a couple of days, wrote the Assurant warehouse but got no response. Called up T-Mo, agent said this was actually pretty common and they knew how to handle it. I gave the correct RMA numbers and IMEI's, got notification a couple days later that phones had been processed and approved. Been pretty happy dealing with T-Mo customer service when I've had to call them, and this was also a pleasant experience.

Phones are now getting credits on T-Mo. Long live T-Mo! Happy customer for a few years, now, and don't plan on switching any time, soon. A32 5G is amazing value for a free phone. Responsive, big screen; we use one as a YouTube client/video player for a kiddo. Other two phones are backups/alt-phones for when we don't want to share data with particular app or employer.

Bottom line: Possibly the slickest deal, ever. Top 5, IMO. Thank you, Slickdeals.

Just placed an order tonight since I wanted the Samsung and not the N200 but the phone that I want to trade in is not with me at the moment. I entered an IMEI number from another phone that if absolutely necessary could be the trade in phone but since the Samsung is backordered, does anyone know if I can amend the IMEI in the order (perhaps through TForce) before the Samsung ships?
TIA

So will Costco be able to order the N200 & avoid free shipping plus get the $30 Costco cash card?

Also was anyone successful in getting t-mobile to match the costco deal with free shipping plus $30 costco cash card?
