anyone else get there S7? I havent opened it yet but we are gonna get this thing rolling
Did you receive a email and or tracking number prior to delivery or was it a surprise?
I'd be curious about the notification ahead of time as well.
I got the traking number from the Sprints website one hour before my phone was delivered last night. They are slow to update their system I guess. I had been checking the website every 30 minutes. The Gear VR is on back order and ships by the 7th it says.

Sign up for UPS tracking through the UPS site. I never got a notification from Sprint, but as soon as Sprint created the shipping label UPS notified me.
CAN"T WAIT FOR ROOT!
Not sure if you guys have kept up with every thread, but our bootloader is locked, thats a very bad thing.
I got my two Gear VRs in the mail on Friday. They are cool, but chew the battery up and the GS7 gets hot during use.
Get used to that rom. Gonna be here awhile lol

Not true, both Bootloader 3 and 4 have stable working root methods for sprint and I've ran both of those with no problems at all, it just takes a while to set up.

Me too. I talked to five CSRs yesterday, three of them told me it's back ordered, one of them said it would ship yesterday, another one said it would ship today. Worst company I've ever seen.
Ya I am too. I've called multiple times and they keep saying that it "should" go out today and it never does. The shipping date keeps getting pushed back one day at a time.

I ordered a 64 GB developer edition on Saturday 4/20 at around 11 am and it has been in picking since. I selected 2 day shipping and the original expected delivery was today 4/24. Yesterday that was bumped to 4/25. Today it says 4/26.
I've gotten more patient over the years, and my current phone is serviceable so I'm just going to sit tight for now. The worst case seems to be 'end of April' which isn't too far away.
I preordered with them, it shipped on Friday and I got it on Saturday. That said, it did sit in "picking" for a couple days before it shipped, and the order also disappeared from their online tracker right beforehand.
Yep, still waiting. I just hope to get it before my trip this Fri

Same here. Ordered on Saturday (4/20) with 2 day shipping. Status has remained "picking" since Sunday. Original shipping date was Monday with delivery today. Has been incrementing each day. Now, it is supposed to ship today... we'll see.
Tried to call yesterday. Got cut off after staying on hold for just over two hours!
Waiting patiently... meanwhile, this post has me a little concerned. I plan to use the phone with prepaid plans on TMobile and AT&T for now... with other compatible international providers as needed. I use data a lot more than voice and so, value a good/fast data connection. Am concerned that the "generic" radio may be a hindrance. That said, if it is firmware related and not hardware, it should be fixable by flashing the appropriate firmware, ROM or radio. Waiting for the knowledgeable peeps to chime in.

Mine too. Ordered on the 12th, couldn't get an order status until yesterday, still in picking. Trying to decide whether to cancel or wait it out. My G2X is crap and I need something ASAP. It was either an HTC One or a GS4, and I wanted the One, but after this mess, it's probably gonna be whichever I can get first.
I ordered on the 12th but it has been "picking" for 5 days now I'm kind of disappointed that I (promised to!) shell out so much money and now I'm waiting considerably longer than carrier customers. I'm quite patient but I wish let's talk would be a bit more finite with their dates, there is no way they have been "picking" my phone for the better part of a week.
I will only be angry if I get the phone and it has hardware defects. I would imagine the RMA process with these guys would be terrible

So was mine, shipping today for 2 days...i called them and she said oh it's because we ran out of stock (thanks for that heads up). So I cancelled and went to AT&T, which i'm glad i did they gave me $150 off even though i wasn't due for any upgrade for a long time..
Ordered on 4/9 and it still shows picking status as well. This is definitely getting ridiculous.
I ordered two 64gb dev edition handsets on the 10th and I'm on back order. I called HTC and they said there next shipment is on the 29th.
I am having the same problem too, it remaied picking for almost a week and hopefully i could get this by the end of this April because i am gonna leave on May 2nd.
My status just changed from "picking" to "ready to be shipped". What does that mean?

I've been on the phone all morning calling all the AT&Ts around trying to find out who's got the S4, and no one seems to have it or know when they're getting it, some say they expect to get them some time tmrw, others said they will today, and a few have told me they usually get shipments in the morning, and it being 1pm now they don't expect anything else today
I've been getting bad news and dead ends everywhere..
have any of you had any luck with your local AT&Ts? just heard this morning Verizon, Sprint, and T-Mobile got pushed back due to supply issues.. which makes me worry about my ability to pick one up tmrw morning.. shouldn't AT&T have stock by now and be setting up displays?
kinda worried.. any of you guys having better luck than i am?
EDIT: whow! i been using the bookmarked page on my XDA app so much i didn't realize ATT's S4 got its own section .. guess ill be seeing you guys~ take care!

I got mine from pre-order on Tuesday via FedEx. This thing is awesome.
The story keeps changing
Initially weeks ago I was told to come back to my store when preorders shipped and I could pick one up. Then I was told Tuesday in the store that they would be released today so I made an appointment to upgrade at opening today. When I called to confirm my appoinment and the arrival of the S4's last night they told me they are not releasing until Saturday. Tired of getting the run around, I called 3 other AT&T stores and confirmed that Saturday is the day. They actually posted it on twittter earlier in the week but I guess I was hoping that to be wrong so I could get it sooner than Saturday. But it is what it is people, deal with it or go somewhere else to get it....
FYI, avoid lines and waiting tomorrow morning for the release and make an appointment for an upgrade if you are an AT&T customer. Schedule for when the store opens and you will be the first walking out the door with that little gem in your hands. That tip is for free....
I saw that appointment thing, but I figured they wouldn't really honor it tomorrow.

The best phone I've ever used. Not one complaint yet. .. well besides the lack of root but in due time
I love the display settings. If you hate the usual over saturated Amoleds then you can easily change the color calibration easily.
1080p screen is amazing. The camera is really detailed and a lot of fun with all the features included. I'll post a full res picture in the next post.

Walked into my AT&T store (Reno) today and they had both colors in stock.
The Att corporate store where I live in Kentucky has them in stock to sell. I went in to try out the demo unit. The nice sales last asked me if I wanted one since they had them in stock. Two things stopped me: I am a Verizon customer and waiting (perhaps with futility) for a 32gb version. That 9gb of free storage would be filled over by some of my Gameloft games alone.
Yes, if you want to come all the way to Massachusetts. HA. My AT&T store is full of them. Sprint however is selling them like hotcakes.
Will AT&T turn off the phones in time if you do not return it? Maybe a couple months or ? I wouldn't be surprised if they did.
Thinking of my options and if I can hold off until the S8 release. BTW, I don't fly commercially, but they could cripple the phone so bad it could be pretty useless.

In just got a text from ATT saying that on Oct 15, all Note 7's will officially be banned on all flights by the FAA.
As for a shut down, its possible, but not confirmed. If it happens though, it'll most likely be a few months down the road. Enough time for people to find replacement phones. I wouldn't be surprised if it was soon after the S8 launch.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N930A using Tapatalk
They're not going to remotely shut then all down.. Even in the policy and texts you notice that they say you're 'highly recommended' to return it. When it comes to installments, legally it may be smarter for them not to charge people, because then the 'loan' may be subject to lemon law or something similar, but that's over my pay grade.
For those worried about being shut down, just look at the Quickfire. That phone was recalled and people still have them on the network (probably only 2 or 3 after all this time). Point being, they can't just shut em off unless they can prove it's harmful to the network. While the note can seriously damage itself and possibly your leg, a defective battery can't hurt the network so we should be safe.
As silly as it is, I just can't bring myself to return it.. I've switched back to my 7 edge because work doesn't want us using Note 7's, but I'd like to keep it just on the off chance theres any new info. Definitely not paying $900 for a marshmallow device without updates though.

So att is blocking imei?

If you have yours from Craigslist, don't you think it's more plausible that whoever sold you the phone, may have ripped you off one way or another?
AT&T already stated you can use your note 7 until December 31st. Samsung plans to give everyone a free upgrade to the s8 for all of our troubles if you turned your note 7 in for another galaxy device.

Since we have a room for Verizon and AT&T let's start one for us on T-Mobile.
Pre-Ordered S8+ in Arctic Silver Shipping 4/20-4/21 but my friend at T-Mobile said they have to list that date by law. It will be out earlier at least on Magenta!
Got invited to unpacked2017, got the Royal treatment and got to meet DJ Koh! Have the S8+ with upgraded promo (adds wireless Harmon headphones and another 256gb SD card) on preorder! My buddy who won the promotion got a free S7, vr gear, and all kinds of other cool stuff, free hotel, over 3k in cash for taxes and spending money, oh and 2 free S8+ on the way! Had one hell of a great time in NYC.

Hurry up and wait, S8+ Black.
I have the Galaxy S10 Plus Unlocked, I currently use it on sprint. The update that had been pushed to my phone gave it the black screen of death. i am just curious if anyone else faces this? Also i reached out to samsung and they said many users reported it today and some users got locked out of their devices because certain updates put a pin number on the phone...... I get to go to the local samsung certified bestbuy to have them fix the problem. My phone still gets buzzs and vibrates but I cant see it!
