AT&T In-store early? - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I know that the release date for the AT&T version is actually tomorrow, but I was wondering whether anybody knew if AT&T stores would be willing to demo/sell the LG G2 a day early. Has anybody had any experience with AT&T doing something like this with newly released phones in the past?

They wouldn't even let me buy accessories for the phone that they had in stock and in the system till tomorrow.. Told them to kick rocks bought a screen protector and tpu/silicon case from Verizon yesterday.. Fits my Att g2 perfectly.

Hmm...I was thinking, if there's a lenient manager, do you think they'd allow me to look at it?

Att is kind of Nazi like that. Sprint sells phones early and Verizon does sometimes.
Don't expect to find a good manager who will let you play with a phone early.

Thought we should see how the pre-order is stacking up for the USA! I know it is early but I wanted to get it out there. Poll is open until the 18th (since the phone comes out in stores the 19th)

Wirefly sucks with preorders. I learned to stay away from them from the Evo LTE fiasco last year. Hopefully you have better luck.
I'm planning to be on T-Mobile, but not ordering yet because I want to be able to access all their towers.

Evo LTE fiasco...
Basically the launch delay due to shipments being held by US Customs (due to Apple infringement claim). As they were gradually let out, Sprint had first pick at them while third-parties (like Wirefly) were way down on the list. Don't know when their customers finally got them (I ended up cancelling). Learned my lesson! Not saying that you'll have the same experience, but since this is limited quantities, know that Wirefly will get the left-overs.

You should put a spot that says "Going to preorder for T-Mobile", since it's really not available yet.

That is why I put "preordered FOR" and not "preordered FROM". Some people may get it from an AT&T store, some Best Buy, Some from HTC but that part isn't all that relevant.(for this poll).
The poll is also open until the 18th. If Tmobile doesn't offer it before that from them than it is not a pre-order .
Keep the votes coming guys! I know more people preordered than this .

I would be more concerned that you ordered the Black one for Sprint. The black version is not in the SKU system for Best Buy and it is not available directly from Sprint for preorder and they do not have the slightest clue when the black one will be released. (Expect end of May or June)
I preordered silver from sprint on Friday

When to expect new colors for GS4 on verizon?

I bought a GS3 out of contract back in January, paid $300 for it. I can sell it for $300 and then go to verizon and renew my contract and pay $200 for a GS4, so seems to be the obvious thing to do.
Just wondering when the new colors are going to come out? I'd like to snag that blue instead of white (I think black looks crap). Any idea on release date?
Well considering Verizon just got their version released, I doubt anytime soon.

To my knowledge Verizon never got red or titanium GS3. T-Mobile got the Titanium version about 6 months after release. AT&T got the red one within a couple months and already have advertised a red gs4.

Bell will be carrying the LG G3

I was talking to a sales person at Bell today, and he said the LG rep was in yesterday talking about the G3, and that Bell will be carrying the phone.
He also seemed to think the phone will be available on May 27. Perfect timing for me, as I'm up for a new phone in June!

LG knows to release their phone on all major carriers already, if you had G2 you most likely will have G3
if it's true that it will actually be available on the 27th, that's the best news all day.
i would get it too, hoping it will have support for me on Tmo USA

Just buy a rogers version and unlock it, should be out early august or so.
Now with the possibility of an 805 based G3 i may wait it out for that one

Good day...I just picked up the g3 from Bell, and am wondering about wireless charging...Talked to Bell, and they don't seem to know...I know the back that the phone ships with only has the standard two pin connection. I am asking this because Rogers variants of the g3 only support PMA charging, like AT&T versions. I am hoping Bell didn't go this route. Does anyone know if the Bell g3 supports Qi charging, or do I have to go with the PMA enabled Circle Case from LG, which people have been having problems with. Thanks
Every canadians versions cannot use wireless just like at&t even if you buy a wireless kit its not supported ...its bad for us but we also paying the phone a bit less than US market
From Lg G3 "the beast"
All Canadian models are the same as At&T and support PMA. I don't think it works out the box though.
The only way I know of is to get the Quick Circle cover with PMA wireless charging capability. I picked up a case off of ebay (after having an issue with an Amazon seller that sent me the wrong case) and a duracell powermat off of Amazon. It works pretty well.
Oh I taught it was not working at all im really happy if we just have to buy a back cover with the wireless charging sticker on it

Same, quite happy with the circle case through ebay with PMA charging. I also bought a powermat off Amazon as well. PM me if you'd like the links I used.

Any Sprint users?

I received the $100 off email yesterday. But I'm on Sprint. And I can't select Sprint on the pre-order site, so I haven't ordered the phone yet.
Has anyone pre-ordered a Sprint phone yet?
It hasn't even been announced when pre-orders will take place.

Me too, contacted Sprint, no tentative date of release. They need to get the ball rolling.
I'm waiting as well.
I must admit, I've been very excited for the release of this device. I've been a big fan of HTC since the Hero days and am still quite happy with and impressed by my trusty M7. The release of the 10 has, in my opinion, been nothing short of dismal. As evidenced by Samsung and even LG, you need to have your product available when the hype is at its peak. I'm really optimistic that the 10 will be worth the wait (despite not being water resistant, which would have put the thing over-the-top) but in this day and age people don't like to wait and with so many other great options available a struggling company can't afford to miss out on even one potential sale...
Totally agree. Should have been available at announcement.
Verizon is the #1 Carrier and seems to sell the most phones for HTC so I have no doubt that they were the first because of that. Back on the M8 sprint got the only harman kardon edition and I am think they didn't sell as many as HTC would have liked. HTC is trying to fix their profit problems in the US and one way to do that is to make Verizon happy. The sprint version will come. We already know a t-mobile phone will come as they did an un-boxing yet no announcement and I would assume its because Verizon rigged the game to be first. ATT won't sell it probably because they don't care to, they know people that want the phone want an unlocked/unlocked bootloader and will pay for it and they are possibly fine with that. Plus I assume they have have a better deal with Samsung and Apple where they make more money per phone sold. I will say it is sad to see that the unlocked version wont work on sprint, I think you can blame Verizon for that. This is only my opinion but verizon is opposed to unlocked bootloaders we all know, but since its CDMA it would be eaiser for HTC to make one "CDMA version" of the phone for both Verizon and sprint. It is still unclear if the unlocked version will have CDMA bands my guess is it wont. If it has CDMA the unlocked version has band 13 and should work on Verizon. That would be a big disappointment for sprint users since it does not have the 25, 26, 41 LTE bands. I am just glad I will be on ATT now...
I should add Verizon always gets their way, I cant wait till they day that stops but until then bye bye.
Really surprised there's not even a sign of when pre-orders are going to start yet. All the hype will be gone by the time that date arrives....

Yea, I mean I know it's first world problems, but I need a new phone and I want the new HTC.
saw a email (addressed to someone else) from a marketing VP @ HTC which said the sprint option would be available on htc.com on 5/11...take that with a grain of salt...it didn't mention if the option was to buy or pre-order, though you'd think by then it should be the option to buy!
Let's hope so

5/11....wow. I surely miss the days of the M8 launch. I guess funding is the biggest issue with availability. I hope that the 10 can really help out HTC with their finances.

Waiting (im)patiently as well. Neither HTC nor Sprint will cough up an actual date. Hopefully the 11th is true. Or sooner.

Still too far away, lol. Hopefully pre-orders start soon. Thanks for the info though.
So, no contract renewals for 199$ ?
We are expected to pay for the phone AND stay with Sprint using a phone that cannot be transferred to any other GSM network?
Somehow, GSM carriers are now looking good.
I have been with sprint since they kitted out as Sprint. Hope the above is not the only option.

Consider T-Mobile if the coverage works in your area. It's super fast in most big cities, the plans are reasonable and they are modding friendly.

LG V20 available through VZW starting Oct. 20th.

http://www.droid-life.com/2016/10/17/verizon-lg-v20/
I bet all carriers release before 28th
Why is pricing such a secret with this device? So weird.
Can't wait to get this in my hands soon! I love the V10 so far (it's a loaner device between the Note 7 and V20) and know I'll love the V20 even more!
Yeah can't wait for it either. I'm coming from the Note 7. Hate giving up this device but the V20 looks like a great phone.

As a long time Verizon customer, I knew it was only a matter of time until they released the V20, as they first wanted to have a push for the Pixel exclusivity.
Still, would like a bootloader unlocked device that can at least be rooted.
It would also be nice is Verizon had a nice deal like what Tmobile is doing.

Verizon is definitely doing the deal with getting the free pair of headphones but it's to be seen if they will sweeten the deal like Tmobile.
http://www.lg.com/us/mobile-phones/v20/promo/verizon
According to various forums and here, the V20 is arriving at doorsteps today for many T-mobile customers. I am jealous, they just started the pre order and I pre ordered mine a week ago with AT&T and may not see it until next week
Can't wait for Verizon to get their pre order up. I'm pretty sure I'm ordering it. This being posted from my note 7. Like many others I don't want to get rid of this phone but oh well. LG v20 looks like a good replacement.

All deals that Tmo is doing can all be traced back to being LG deals. The headphones, tablet bundle and even the making sure devices are given a minimum $200 trade in value.
So from the looks of it, the best deal is for T-Mobile as they are also getting a $200 trade in credit for any working 4G phone and a free tablet, in addition to the B&O Earbuds. Verizon is just the Earbuds (which all carriers are doing). Best Buy is doing a $200 BB Gift Card.
