How is your experience with HUAWEI? similar to mine , any issues?
Here is mine ..
ok..so I ordered my phone through huawei(10/5/2015). I used the financing company through their website called Affirm.
I received all the confirmation emails from both huawei and affirm about my order and registration with Huawei.
here is where the "Fun" comes in:
I tried to login to the Huawei website this morning 10/6 to see if the status was updated(I have no patience)
and ...My account does not exist!!! so after chatting with a representative online they cannot find any of my information, no account registered, nothing!! However I can log onto the Affirm account and see when my payments are due!!! I have emails and phone calls back and forth from them they still have not resolved. Really sucks!
as of 10/8 I have received what looks to be a generic email saying that states I will get my phone??
I know i posted this in waiting for shipping but wanted to see direct order huawei only ..sorry
@mejori,
My experience while a little different, is still very similar to yours. I ordered on 9/30 and subsequently received a confirmation email with receipt. The next day, Huawei did debit my credit card.
But, when I login to my Huawei account, it shows nothing in "my orders". I emailed their customer service about this on 10/4 and received an automatic response with a ticket number, but have heard nothing back.
I'd have to say that this really isn't a big deal. We'll see how they do when it's time to start shipping product.
But I would have to say that their customer support is less than stellar, so far.
@cam30era they have emailed me to basically tell me the same thing that the generic email says.
I am going to just wait it out and see if i get it. However they did say that shipments are delayed but could not tell me when.

I was not aware of this. Thanks for the feedback. Let us know if you hear any more.
I don't see the benefit of ordering direct from them unless you don't want the play store money, don't want the insurance, possible tax free, and want a less reliable information service as far as shipping.
The only benefit to me would be tax free, but I wanted the insurance and easier RMA process.

Yup, you identified all the reasons. 7% better in my pocket.
I ordered using affirm also. So far for me though all has been smooth. I'm able to log into the huawei website and see my order just fine

I am very careful with my phones(*knocks on wood) .. and cant shell out $600 at the moment. so i chose to do the financing. as far as shipping and reliability of huawei .. it is questionable at the moment.. hopefully they make good on it.
I ordered from them on the 5th as well and all has been good so far. I ordered from affirm as well and everything seems to be good. Order shows as processing in my orders and the affirm charge went through..now I wait...

so this is what they said when i asked about ship date and if there are any delays
from Huawei:
Hello Richard,
The Nexus 6p is on Pre-Order and will not be shipped until release date. I believe it should be out in the upcoming month.

oscar,

I just got off a "chat" with Huawei. They basically reconfirmed the same information. The first orders will ship in early November.
I ordered the day after release and on the site it said shipping late october and then was switched to early november a few days later. I also spoke with a chat representative and asked how the google store orders and direct orders shipping times would differ and was told that they will actually both ship at the same time as the schedules would be the same but asked if they came from the same stock and was told that there would be seperate stocks? Not sure how it will all work out but I am really hoping that the chat representatives were just told early november but will actually ship earlier.
I'd say it is very likely the chat rep doesn't know a damn thing about shipping schedules or if Google pulls from the same stock or not. I wouldn't be surprised if these things don't ship until november or if they ship a week or two early. I doubt any first line CS Rep has a damn clue other than possibly some generic date and would be the very last person to get an updated date or information.
i guess we will compare with others once people start getting tracking #'s or receiving their devices! If any of you get updates please post!:highfive:
This is my conversation with rep concerning why my order is not visible...
I also ordered through Huawei, but I did not use Affirm. I'm able to sign in and see my order no problem.
I orderd through them to save the near $50 on Massachusetts tax, I orderd the Thursday and the money was taken out yesterday. So far so good for me no issues as of today.
now that Google is out of stock of 64gb 6p , i am trying to order from gethuawei.. but i have a issue, when i press the order button. does not complete my order.. message pops up to call huawei.. i call the # customer support says the website has problems to try and order again later..
has anyone place a successful order today??

I got a call from At&T about a problem porting my number from Verizon (yes I am making the switch back). I mentioned they could not port yet as I don't have a phone because it is on pre-order. Cust Service said that I would be receiving it in a couple of days. I got the call yesterday so i am hoping to have my shiny new Atrix tomorrow or the next day.
Could be Cust Service has no idea what they are talking about but you can only hope
If that is the case I might pre order through att instead of best buy then...

Hello everyone. I'm new to this section of XDA - I've had a Captivate for some time (4 of them actually) and have been quite dissapointed at times with it. Overall a great phone, but lots of un-necessary issues (imo) I just pre-ordered the Atrix 4G today and was told I could recieve it within the next 7-10 days at the soonest... I really cant wait to see what the devs here on XDA will cook up for this killer phone (based on specs). If the dev support is anything at all like it is for the Captivate - this is gonna be a great ride with the Atrix 4G
I am hoping we get alot of captivate devs to switch. I know there is a good chance that the bootloader will be encrypted, and that might keep the ROM chefs away, but I really hope we find away around it. i am going to be submitting as much of my capabilities to the effort, but I am new to android. I have done a small amount of program development on iOS with jailbreaks. so hopefully I can help.
Also, as I have said before, Devs are the lifeblood of these phones, and I am willing to put my money out there as a substitute for my experience. I am willing to help any motivated devs by donating $20-$40. Hopefully we can get a rich community surrounding the phone. that way when i am still using it 18 months down the road, I will still be happy with it.
I didn't get that email at all and I preordered on Sunday morning when the preorder option first popped up. I did get my confirmation email right after preordering and another email today ( 17th) , but not the one you have. Am I still going to get my atrix on the 22nd? Or did something get messed up?

I just received shipped email and it is showing delivery by 3pm on 2/21.
When I did the checkout on the AT&T site it told me it's scheduled to be delivered on or before March 6th... if people are getting them as early as the 21 or 22 I sure as hell hope mine arrives around that time as well.
tracking attached.....
does anyone know if the package will require signature? i may have to leave work early to be sure i'm home for this bad boy if that's the case.
Usually says if the signature is required or not for the tracking information, so it looks like no signature required.

I'd be seriously pissed if FedEx left it on the porch without signature and it got stolen after waiting for this phone. Good thing it's a holiday and I'm working from home all day!
I opted to have mine shipped to the att store - just incase i wouldnt be home when FedEx showed up. This way i dont have to worry about it being left on the front step and sitting there

You know, I was looking for that option and didn't see anything about it. Where was this option during online pre-ordering to have it shipped to a specific store? Maybe next time I pre-order I'll be able to do this.

I didn't see it either. But most likely, you could simply call after placing the order, and have the CSR make the change for you.
i just got this email from Clove
We are now very close to the launch of the Samsung Galaxy S II I9100. Here at Clove we are very excited about the launch of what is set to be an amazing handset and we are sure that you are as well.
At this stage, we are emailing you to confirm a few details prior to launch and we also have a small request to make.
We can confirm that stock will be arriving on Wednesday 4th May and we will receive enough stock to ship your order next week. We will begin shipping orders on 4th May and we anticipate that all current orders will be shipped by Friday 6th May.
Due to the high volume of orders we have, we will be extremely busy next week.
WE THEREFORE REQUEST THAT YOU DO NOT CONTACT US (WHETHER IT BE BY EMAIL, TELEPHONE, FACEBOOK OR TWITTER) TO ASK THAT YOUR SPECIFIC ORDER CAN BE SHIPPED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THIS WILL ONLY SLOW US DOWN AND TAKE US LONGER TO SHIP ORDERS.
We have now confirmed that the UK Version of the Samsung Galaxy S II I9100 WILL NOT ship with an NFC chip. If you wish to cancel your order as a result of this, please email us on [email protected] with the subject line stating: SGS2 ORDER CANCELLATION.
Otherwise we will proceed to ship your order next week.
Kind Regards

Yes All orders through clove for the phone received the email. I think they are actually giving a realistic time frame for their dispatch.
If the stock arrives late 3rd May they are making sure they are out by the 4th. Handtec have stated stock arriving the 3rd and sending the same day.
I believe Clove are just covering their bases and making sure they don't promise something they wont deliver on.

but wait, didnt handtec say they would send theirs out yesterday, or today?
and clove origionally said they would send theirs out on the 2nd.. so did something change? or did they always plan to send it out later? do you think theyll send out on the 2nd or this new date?
clove had said 3rd may initially ... or atleast when i pre ordered i think 2 weeks ago. now they say 4-6th. handtec originally said theyll get by 28 and ship by 29th BUT suddenly just changed all that on their website. didn't notify anyone either so after that I just decided to stick to clove cause they're always updating. anytime they get new info on the phone they would send an email asking if i want to still buy the phone or cancel. For example with the NFC not being included and such. they cost about 15 pounds more but have better service. that's how it usually is... smaller companies (clove) have better service cause each customer matters much more while larger companies (handtec) arent that good on service cause they dont care all too much if they lose 1 customer.
I also got that email today in the afternoon.
i hope handtec will finally ship on tuesday........
This morning, I see this on my fedex tacking info Clearance delay. It made me a little nervous so I called fedex, askd the lady what this is about, she tells me. So i have to give a description of my Samsung galaxy box so they can identify it, and get its on its way. Good thing I found this early to minimize any more delay I hope?. Anyways Whats everyones experience with a "Clearance delay"If you have ever run into it . Did it slow everything down, delay your shipping. or not have much effect.

Just talked to a rep. They said it was delayed in customs so I gave them some information and they said they would call back to let me know the package is on its way...So in response to your question, the automated system is not accurate.
OK. I had to fill out some forums that Fed ex emailed to me, then scan them and send them back! What a pain. Now i will be getting the package tomorrow rather then today. Booooooooooooooooooo anyways If you have a sg2 come check your tracking often so you dont have to wate any longer then u have allready
Funny when i called FedEx they said they received the forms needed from the SHIPPER (handtec) and dint ask me to fill out any form.
They said they hope it will get released today for tomorrow's shipping.
I can't believe handtec does not know they need to fill out customs forms when shipping internationally.

I use to work for fedex express. Putting a description on the outside would be a bad idea. People would help themselves to a five finger discount.
I submitted the forms, but the tracking page status still shows "clearance delay". Did anyone have their status updated?
I'm hoping I can at least get the phone tomorrow... With all this hassle it almost makes me regret buying this phone from abroad (especially since it looks like the official US version may be shipping this month or next).

Mine is the same way. I verified all paperwork this morning around 10AM CST. I suspect they will all get approved in a batch. Not to worry, we'll be playing with our shiny new toys tomorrow!
Edit: I just got the following reply from the Customs Agent with FedEx when I asked why the status hadn't changed at all.
The package status will not change until early tomorrow morning. You can check the website in the morning to see if it is out for delivery.
My status just got updated to Int'l shipment release. Finally some good news today!

I called a rep about this and she told me that fedex has overnight delivery on this shipment so *cross fingers*
i may have helped you all.. my agent stated they didnt have the fcc release forms from handtec so i found the fcc id picture. and the online fcc form filed them out this morning and emailed scans in to fedex to the specific release agent.. called later and they said they now had all the paperwork they need.
great news!!!
Package status just changed to " Departed Fedex Location Memphis,TN"
Looks like overnight delivery is a go...I just hope its by plane haha
Well so much for getting my phone tomorrow...
It's saying there is a Clearance delay on mine too, and I got an email saying a Telecom form is required. I called fexed and asked if I needed to fill out a form, and they said the sender did..
Now I'll probably have to wait a week. DAMNIT.
What number did you guys call? Or how did you contact a specific agent?
I'd rather fill out the form itself than wait for Handtec. Where can I get the form?

There are a bunch of us who ordered 64GB Nexus 6s early on 11/19 (or late on 11/18), who still don't have their orders, despite many others who already have their orders who ordered AFTER us. T-Mobile doesn't seem to think there's a problem with this, can't tell us anything about when we could possibly see our orders, and has more or less told us that they won't do anything because there's no evidence that their system screwed up. To that end, we've started tracking 64GB Nexus 6 orders in a spreadsheet, here. We're hoping, that by collecting this data, we can show them that we know we're being screwed over, and that they need to get straightened out.
If you, or a loved one ordered a 64GB Nexus 6 on or around the morning of 11/19, please feel free to add your information to the spreadsheet. Also, if you happen to have ordered after about 10AM PST on 11/19 we'd really like to have your information, especially.
In case anyone missed it @askdes gave quite a response last night. He did make one very good point. What we are doing here is helping to make everyone that ordered a 64gb Nexus 6 feel that they are entitled to receiving their phone in a timely manner. Please remember that the issue here is that people that ordered during the early launch time frame may have been missed somehow while others that placed orders later are receiving their phones. We should all know by now (or at least have an idea) that Google/Motorola are having some kind of manufacturing issue. The only reason we are upset with T-mobile is that they have not been forthcoming with accurate information as to why some people were "accidentally" skipped over. That is it.
@casbar no one has been intentionally skipped. I have enlisted a great deal of people to make sure any errors are found & fixed it takes great deal of time and effort. Days not hours, and the manufacturer has not helped. I am trying to not throw anyone under the bus here. The problem is now there are people who ordered much later and think they are entitled to deliveries earlier and that is not the case and it makes it more difficult to help the people who may have had a legitimate issue but we will help every customer because that is what we do! - Des

I do believe that T-Mobile is attempting to correct any errors on their part. We should be as patient as possible and collect any information that will help us build an understanding of what may have happened if for nothing else to help T-Mobile resolve this situation.
I added my info as well.
Added the following info:
Ordered from: www.tmobile.com
Ordered: Motorola Nexus 6 64GB Blue.
Order date: 11/19/2014 at 07:24 AM PST
Delivered On: 11/21/2014 at 1:10 PM PST
if tmobile establishes an order of responding then the company is intentionally skipping over certain customers by design, albiet it is a temporary skip since at some point in the scheme they will be filled. so, in my opinion des is still perpetuating a huge lie. the way tmobile can come clean is to just fill the orders as they were placed.
Added my info. At least I got 50$ credit for cyber Monday. I implore everyone who has not already done so to call and get credited if you ordered before Monday.
whats funny is that i ordered mine for next day delivery, and the delivery information only showed up for me 24 hours after i received it.

Same here, I guess we were both in the same shoes. I ordered on the first day (Wednesday) and received it the following day.
Although for me I keep my music on local storage and still have space to work with. I take the train so music in the cloud isn't good for me.
Don't throw anyone on the bus? Really... If I have to go on the interwebs and find out this information on a forum when neither T-mobile rep on call or webchat have any clue and deny everything and the sytem says absolutely nothing, they are more than complicit and not truly "fixing" anything wholeheartedly or taking responsibility for their mistake.
**** happens? I believe it. Not going to be mad about that. Continuously lying, ignoring, trivializing, or shirking blame? **** you.
My cyber Monday order says backordered but pending shipping.
T-Mobile 19er 64Gb BLUE
well after reading almost 10,000 post in both "Nexus 6 Waiting Room" and "T-Mobile receiving limited stock" I think we people who ordered 11/19 from T-MOBILE or there abouts, then put on backorder to 11/25, are getting lost in the orders from GPS and MOTO.
I have neither received on read about anybody have any info on these orders. Does any info
exist on these orders Anyone, Anything.
I ordered on the 20th..backorder 21st...in same boat with no estimates..tried executive CSR, store CSR, and website with no luck.
I sent another email to the exec team as some people have time frames for shipping populate using website order tracking...but my order shows nothing
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app
I put out a Twitter (twit, tweet, twiddle?) today for T-Mobile sort of publicly asking for any sort of shipping status. They immediately got back to me and asked me to direct message them but then was promptly asked the same questions on my order that the phone and chat reps have asked me all the time about my order.
As far as I know I'm still on backorder from 11/25 (ordered the 19th) and nobody has any idea when I'll get this phone.
I'm patient and don't care if I receive it in February, I just want to know if I'm going to be receiving it and when. Especially with holidays and travelling coming up I don't want to risk having the thing sit on my doorstep for days/weeks while I'm gone. Just any little drop of info would be awesome.
So we know that at a minimum Google, Motorola and T-Mobile are having issues with managing orders for this phone.
Either hundreds of thousands are ordering or this is the "demon core" of smart phones.
System Generated Message
Just got the system generated message from TMO that my order will be delayed until (between) 1/9/14 and 1/23/14... and that is anything changes, I will know because it will ship... (duh) I'm lucky that I got a 32GB and at this point really don't need the 64GB but its just a matter of principle now..
T-Mobile via Twitter has told me 6 - 8 weeks from order date
I preordered 32gb Black pixel XL the minute it was announced on the 4th.
Everything went through fine and I got a confirmation email of the order.
Then I notice that there are no funds on hold in my account .
I think nothing of it and figure they will hold funds when it ships .
Fast forward to Monday the 17th .
I call customer service to inquire when I should receive my phone and why there isn't a hold on my bank account for the funds.
They tell me that I should receive the phone between the 26-28 of October .
And that I will be charged when it ships.
That my order is processing and every is fine .
Last night I get an email from Google saying that my order has been cancelled.
It states to reason as to why ....
So I call customer service , they tell me its a billing issue and transfer me to google wallet .
We verify that my billing and mailing addresses match and they do .
Next we get on a 3 way call with my bank to see if their were any declines from their end .
Once again nothing , the bank has no record of google ever making any attempt to charge it hold funds.
The customer service representative from wallet says " well everything looks fine , so you should go ahead and place an order again "
I said to them it's sold out , how do you want me to do that .
They had no answer for that .
Then she transfered me to the ordering department .
I went back and forth with them about what took place , they escalated it to a tier 2 person , in which they told me to join the waiting list .
This is complete bull**** , they canceled my order for no reason and now I have to get on a waiting list for a phone that i ordered and got confirmation was shipping next week .
What can I do at this point ?
Thanks

That sucks. One thing to try is pleading on twitter. Many companies hate when you make something public on social media so you may get a better response.
Same thing happened to my order. Came in to work today to the cancelled order email. Contacted them via phone and chat and was told something happened in the system and a bunch of orders got cancelled and that there was nothing they could do about it. Absolutely ridiculous! Having ordered over two weeks ago only to get on a wait list now and probably not get the free VR headset!? Really wish this was a regular retail store so I could take my business elsewhere.

So far it doesn't seem like it. All I have been told is that I need to get on the wait list. That is unacceptable as it looks like it will push the order out 1-2months and we would be screwed out of the VR headset. I just called back myself to try talking to someone else or a manager if needed. They said they had to check on something and they would call me back in 5 minutes (we shall see if they do).
The only acceptable resolution for me is for them to reinstate the order and get it shipped out soon as well as still providing the codes for the headsets . After committing to spend over $1600 with Google for two phones I think that is fair on my part.
If you are getting the 32GB, it often goes back on sale multiple times a day. I say 1/3 times I checked the 32GB is available, the 128GB is the hard one. Just keep checking and you will be able to order another one. I used their financing, that might help too if you can, don't have to deal with another bank. No reason not to at 24 mo, 0% interest. Saves yourself a tiny bit through the time value of money.

I used the Google financing and the order was still cancelled! I have 3 different email addresses set on the wait list since I am trying to get 2 phones. I am constantly checking to see if I can grab one. If I can get an order in for two by tomorrow I will be satisfied. Not happy, but satisfied.

You will get a hard inquiry in your credit report, that was the reason I didn't finance.

Ya, you think they would just force an order in, even if they have to add it to the next batch, just put it in reserve.

Yes you will, that is the only down side, so make sure you have no problem with your credit being affected by that.

I just called back again and pressed the issue. They finally escalated the issue but this just means they emailed me to tell me I would hear back in 1-2 business days. I made it clear that this defeats the purpose as by then the preorder is over and I loose the headsets.
Not holding my breath here though.

That's where they left off with me last night.
Escalated and awaiting an email ... Meanwhile the phone launches at best buy and Verizon tomorrow.
Really weighing out my options at the moment to make sure I don't left in the dark.

yeah, really blows. I don't want any other phone but really need a new one. I really don't want to buy from VZW or anyone else with their fingers in things. Worst case I wait until they are available again but I am still going to be very bitter about being screwed out of 2 VR headsets.
google pre order system works backwards.
Same thing happened to me today at 3pm. I had google finance and pre ordered the phone on October 4th and all of the sudden it got cancelled.
There seems to be a lot on canceled orders on here alone. I wonder if it scales up with everyone that pre-ordered? If it does, could it be google canceled random people due to low supply?

Does your order show cancelled in the order history on Google store website?

just a heads up. I called Google the other day to ask about the pre order promotion. I said specifically that I wanted to take advantage of it but was afraid that I would miss it because the window was closing.
The rep from Google told me not to worry that "no matter when you order, if you get this phone, you get a headset".
Verizon seems to be doing the same thing. I called them and they gave me a promo code over the phone they said you just need to activate a phone to use the promo. Doesn't seem to matter when you buy.
I think it was setup this way just to build hype.

It definitely isn't everyone. I have a buddy who ordered one the same day and he also financed with Google. His order has not been cancelled as of now. Granted he did get the regular Pixel so maybe it is related to the XL only?
They claimed to me on the phone that two nights ago at 3am something happened and the orders had issues/got cancelled and that it happened to many orders.

Interesting. One of the people I spoke to said that the promotion was ending at midnight tonight. Another one simply said "as long as the promotion notification is on the website, it is active". The last person I spoke with who escalated it to 2nd level told me that, while she couldn't guarantee anything, in the past they have given vouchers to make up for it if the promo is missed due to this. Interesting that this same type of thing happens each year with the preorders...

Damn.

OK , Update:
I just got off a chat with Google and this is what they said:
Raul D10:44 AM
Thanks for contacting Google Support. My name is Raul D.
Matthew 10:44 AM
Hi, Im matthew
Raul D10:44 AM
Hello Matthew!
Matthew 10:45 AM
Good morning, I called yesterday and expressed that I was interested in taking part in teh preorder promo, but that I didnt think that I would be able to make teh cut seeing as teh 128gb version is sold out.
Matthew 10:46 AM
The Rep told me that It didnt matter when I ordered teh phone that I would get a free headset as long as I was on teh waitlist. Can you please verify this for me?
Matthew 10:46 AM
Please forgive my spelling.
Raul D10:47 AM
I'd really like to see if I can assist.
Matthew 10:47 AM
Thank you
Raul D10:47 AM
You're welcome.
Raul D10:47 AM
Please let me've a look in to it.
Raul D10:48 AM
US customers who pre order a Pixel or Pixel XL from Google Store or Project Fi will receive a promotional code for a Daydream View at no cost.
Raul D10:48 AM
This promotional code is only redeemable through the Google Store.
Raul D10:49 AM
Daydream View will NOT ship with the Pixel device.
Raul D10:49 AM
A separate email with the subject "Your Daydream View VR headset" will be sent to you after your order confirmation email which will include more details in regards to the promotion [EXAMPLE].
Matthew 10:49 AM
OK , That works, but how about if you missed the preorder because your on the wait list?
Raul D10:50 AM
This outlines that you should receive your promotional code approximately four weeks after your device ships.
Raul D10:50 AM
The promotion has no definitive end date and is only valid while supplies last. Codes will expire 12/31/2016.
Matthew 10:52 AM
ok, cool, so even if I do not place the order by yesterday 10/19/2016, as long as I order and have my device before the coupon code expires on 12/31/2016 than I should still receive the promo code for a free vr headset. Correct.
Raul D10:53 AM
I'm sorry, this is only valid while supplies last.
Matthew 10:54 AM
OK, so as long as I order my device when it becomes available, and while supplies last I should still get a promo code e-mailed to me? Is that accurate?
Raul D10:54 AM
Yes.
Matthew 10:55 AM
Wonderful, thank you, so it doesn't technically need to be a pre-order, its just a while supplies last promo effectively then. Thank you, That makes me feel better.
Raul D10:56 AM
You're welcome.
Raul D10:56 AM
I'm glad I could assist.
Matthew 10:56 AM
Thank you for your time this morning.
Raul D10:56 AM
You're welcome.
Raul D10:56 AM
It looks like you're all set.
So yes it looks liek were all set as long as we get teh device before they run out of headsets lol.
