Gear S2 promo? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers

Is the S2 a Bluetooth only or 3g model? Will it have the speaker or not?

No its not the 3g. Spoke with a sales rep and was told it's the Bluetooth one

It's the $300 grey model only.

Was anyone successful in redeeming the gear S2 promotion? I went through the process, but got an e-mail saying I wasn't eligible with my location code...

How is that even possible? You need a MAC Address to submit the promo offer.

When I placed my order on vzw website it didn't give me the option to order the watch then. I was told to go to the Samsung promo site. How did you do this?

Does this mean the Verizon one is 3g? I can't tell from the order but will know soon enough I suppose. Yes, I did have to get the data plan for it but with the discount I am receiving along with instantly selling this thing, I am still saving money from at&t and will pocket whatever cash I get for the watch.

The girl on the phone did it somehow, I'm not sure to be honest.

Yes, I'm located in the US. When I initially provided the information, I received an e-mail stating my Gear S2 order was in process. Then I got an e-mail stating I was ineligible, and included a link for me to try again. After filling out that page's information, I was taken to a page that said my promotion redemption was successful for the Gear VR. I called Samsung support and the person I spoke with told me that the order shows a Gear S2 will be mailed to me, and that she wasn't sure why the site showed a Gear VR instead. I guess I'll have to wait and see...

This promo is pretty much the only reason I'm picking the S7 Edge as a new phone.

You won't be making any money. The Early Termination Fee is $350 and you have to pay $40 to activate. So you'll actually be losing money.

FCC and Verizon

Sent off a complaint to the FCC in regard to non-vzw nexus 6 on the vzw network. Basically, I said that the CFR states that they cant prevent us from using services the way there were intended to be just becaue we are using a non-vzw device. I spoke with someone at the FCC and they said I should file the complaint becuase not allowing customers to change their account details violates the C-block CFR.
Lets see where this goes.....
It is seeming more and more that Verizon doesn't want customers. I am about to leave them but I have unlimited grandfather data so I can't.

Same boat. I am certainly no fan of their nonsense. I swear they do stuff just because they can or to see if they can get away with it. Too bad they are the only 4G signal around. Damn them and their awesome network.

You are unable to change your plan or receive recurring discounts you would normally be eligible for if you have a "non-Verizone device" on your line.

I have had three different reps tell me that they would return my call about changing stuff on my plan....never got call back and the executive office pretty much told me to go pound sand. Guess they forgot about the block-c rules they signed when gaining those bands.

Google and Motorola Should Be Held Accountable
Read the following article for background:
http://www.androidpolice.com/2015/0...te-one-that-wasnt-purchased-from-the-carrier/
Google and Motorola should team up and take Verizon to court over this issue. Probably won't happen, they all share the same bed.
Google and Motorola should at the very least post a warning for Nexus 6 buyers about the problems with Verizon service and non-branded Verizon devices.
My feeling is that the financial folks at Verizon are making these type of poor decisions. Verizon is just too big to be held accountable for their behavior.
Rant off ....
What's the issue? Motorola phones work on and off Vzw network, and plan changes have nothing to do with your phone. Been with VZW for 10 yrs and never had issues. I have a Mot bought Nexus 6 and works beautifully. What issues are people seeing?

This is not true.
If your devices is basically "unknown" they freeze the settings. For example my play store GPS they would not add volte to my account. Had to put my sim in a verizon nexus 6 for 5 minutes for them to make the change.

Ya know lol I'm just pissed I thought I'd be able to change the imei like I have done many other times with financed devices the seller didn't post it was blacklisted they said they just changed networks ... I had it happen one time and I sent the phone back for the refunds and I lost refund and money then one time I filed a paypal claim on chargeback and lost all my money

Bro, I would of learned my lesson the FIRST time this happened to me. I don't even buy phones on Craigslist no more unless they are willing to meet up at the store to confirm it is paid off. I've read so many stories like this. And really you should of known better. An s7 edge for $400? Thats an instant red mark.

I've never heard of successfully connecting a blacklisted device Anywhere. I've heard people only get calls and text but no data. The IMEI is what makes you phone. IT. Without it the phone doesn't exist. It's like loosing EFS

I'm a Verizon business customer that was given early access to a retail model direct from Samsung. I do alot of business with Verizon and about to do a company wide refresh. Therefore..Early access.
It's a minimum of 350,00 gifts not 35,000... So it may not be so hard to get one

Registration for free Gear VR

Can someone else explain time how the registration works exactly? I filled out my forms and they were approved via email. It says 6 to 8 week shipping period, but I've been hearing some people say you have to add it too your cart and actually check out? And what about tracking numbers? Can anyone confirm?
I think that's mainly when you pay for the Immersive bundle which has more stuff.

If you din't want the $99 bundle, then for sure call the 1-800-SAMSUNG # and explain to them what is going on and for them to correct what's needed so you can make sure you get your free VR headset at the very least. Sooner than later. With how fast these bundles sold, I'm afraid they won't have enough free headsets for those that pre-ordered.
I pre-ordered from Best Buy on 3/31. When I picked up the S8 on 4/21 the receipt from Best Buy showed the date as 4/21. I uploaded that receipt when I registered for the free gift. Anyone know if Samsung will know that the phone was pre-ordered and not simply bought on 4/21?
Has anyone submitted a receipt similar to my situation and had their registration for the free gift approved? Thank you!

You can likely print out your phone upgrade agreement from your carrier, that should show when your account was updated the day your pre order was placed. How that helps.

I pre-ordered from Best Buy and got the same message from Samsung when I uploaded the receipt they gave me with the phone. Luckily I pre-ordered online so I went to bestbuy.com, logged into my account, and clicked "Order Status" at the top of the screen. Then I clicked the order number for the purchase of my S8 and that took me to a page showing the order details, including the date that I pre-ordered. I clicked the print button on that page and it printed a full receipt with the order date and pickup date. I just uploaded that receipt so hopefully that will take care of it.
For anyone who is interested, the Order Details screen URL was www-ssl.bestbuy.com/profile/orders/order-details?orderId=<your order ID>

In my case I have to claim them after registering. Holland BTW.

Hi,
And thanks for response. Since I really don't need them I was going to sell them on E-Bay or something.

The sticker can be removed easy enough with a hairdryer to soften the glue and tape to remove the residue. I took mine off just because it annoyed me.

Yes but they also have a sticker on the box that says "Not For Resale"

It's not illegal for private sellers to sell them on eBay, that's mostly to stop retail shops from doing that.

True, I googled it and you are correct. I took my sticker off even though I'm not selling them.

There's a 50% change I will sell them, the white colour ruins everything else I have and I'm worried about audio delay, I just hope they are really better than the included AKG ones

How did you go about registering to claim them? I tried through samsung shop app and it said it failed for me

I was able to do it as well with no problems, Switzerland here. Samsung Members App --> Benefits section. It has to be done from the phone, and only from the Members App. In Switzerland there should theoretically be a check of the phone being on a swiss network provider as well, that's what Samsung says, no idea if it's actually getting performed or not.
Still have to get a confirmation email, but seems to have gone through with no issues.

Says that app isn't compatible with the S10. I guess I'll have to call samsung about it.

I used the Samsung Members app to claim and have today received a text message to confirm that my claim has been validated and that my bud's will be dispatched in the next 30 days. The phone was ordered through samsung.com but in the UK

That's odd, it came preinstalled on mine.
Still haven't received my confirmation email, but support confirmed my submission and told me it can take a while because of the high demand during these days.

My guess is that it's because I have the US Snapdragon variant.

I wish these buds were louder. I think it is Samsung's bluetooth volume that is not very loud. I have the volume all the way up for Bluetooth and it seems like it is only at half volume when you're listening through the buds.
