With both the note 2 and note 4, the AT&T versions had a higher cost than the pretty much identical T-mobile versions, but had no headphones (and don't get me started about the locked bootloader). Is there any news on whether they are going to do this again?
I have not seen it either way, but my Note 5 DID come with headphones. In fact, I had to do an exchange on my Note 5 in the first week, and the sales rep said they can't take the headphones back (hygiene issues) and let me keep the old ones and I got a second set with my new phone.
BTW.. they didn't quite steal our headphones. They never got them in the first place. I am sure there was some consideration on price from Samsung to ship them to AT&T without headphones. I used to image some minimum wage person picking out the headphones and tossing them into a pile somewhere... but obviously that isn't how it worked.

Yeah, thus the quotes on steal... Again AT&T is charging $50 more than T-mobile for the same phone (same as w/ the Note 4). If they don't include headphones again, it really makes no sense to me since AT&T doesn't even sell the Samsung headphones.
I really hate when they change box and keep headphones.

I also hate that they put in cheap box and remove the headphones.

I'm pretty sure I received headphones with my S7 Edge when I bought it. So you should get it with the Note 7 as well.
Plus as Venom0642 so kindly referenced above - it seems to indicate so on their site.

The Note series typically comes in the orange/white ATT box, not the fancy Samsung one that the S6 and S7 models came in.. we'll see this year if that changes..

My note 5 box looked like....um... I don't know, was it, orange, black... Oh, yeah, after I go the phone I haven't seen the box since. I understand that everyone has different priorities, etc, but the box... really? Of all the thing to get your panties in a bunch over, the box?!?!?
Sorry I had to get it out... the orange box complaints almost put the IR blaster and the removable battery complaints in focus.

I may be wrong, but I believe the whole point is this, based on reading this thread:
The black box is Samsung's box, which means that it was packaged by Samsung.
The ATT box is a repackaged box. So ATT received the phones from Samsung and put them in the ATT boxes afterwards. In other words, the boxing wasn't done in the Samsung factory.
It just doesn't seem right to me based on my understanding. I'd think that if anything, the phones would be boxed at factory, but using the ATT boxes. Why ship the phones and pay ATT employees to unbox them and rebox them, when you can just ask Samsung to initially box them in a different box since they'll be boxing them anyways. There's no real change in Samsung's assembly line (unless they have to print the boxes too), and you skip a step (reboxing).
I don't know. I may just be misunderstanding everything completely. Lol

AT&T isn't pulling things out of boxes and replacing them. That wouldn't make any sense. A customer as large as AT&T would just have Samsung put them in the AT&T box to begin with. There aren't dumpsters behind the AT&T warehouse full of Samsung boxes.

So I got my phone today and low and behold I have some serious (at least to me) blemishes and scratches on the back. Some pics below. I know they may not seem too bad but come on, this is a brand new phone, and unexceptable if you ask me. So I actually go to my nearby ATT store to see if they have stock already so they can swap it out and they don't have any yet. You could see it in the eyes of the workers that they hadn't seen one yet. Borderline oogling over it.
Anyways, they say call ATT and they'll send me another. I call and low and behold they CAN send me a replacement (not overnight mind you, I'd have to pay for that), but as I had to remind them, there is a backorder for it so they couldn't tell me when I'd get it. All this time I wouldn't be able to activate the phone. I say screw it, I'll keep it but you gotta give me something here. All they can do open a customer credit report and see if it goes through. Suffice it to say.....I'm pissed.

Yeah this is a total case of WTF. Must have happened in the flashing process when they added all their carrier crap.
Wow. Was it shipped in bag full of rocks?
Thats how mine is from GPlay! Not as bad as yours but the same type of marks.... Seems like it was slid around and there was a bunch of dust/debris in the box on the phone.. I called them up right after I saw and they were gonna set me up with a new replacement but there is a problem with there system with that apparently...:roll eyes: So I have to wait for them to fix that then get in contact with me to set up the replacement... Im using this one in a case in the mean time but it definitely shouldn't fly to get one that looks this way!
Looks like someone was skate boarding on it before shipping. Lol I would return it. There is no fu#king way I pay over $700 for a screwed up phone.

Motorola QC issue.
I was at my tmobile store when they unboxed their demo unit and it had the same nonsense. We considered that maybe they just purposely sent the ****ty ones to stores for demo purposes. Hope this is not a widespread issue

They would have touched it last when flashing their splash screenand doing the logo on the back. But a previous commenter said his gplay device was the same. I would look at how the phone fits in the retail packaging. Does it have room to move around at all, is what i would be looking at.

I think it has some room to move because there doesn't seem to be anything keeping it in place or anything protective it has to sit on. Its just sitting on indent of the phone with the documentation. I think it happened during shipping possibly especially if it was man handled it could bounce around and scuff up but idk? i don't see how sliding on cardboard could cause marks like that.
Im also still waiting on Gplay to reply and fix there system to get me a new replacement...
Did you have any issues getting AT&T to initiate the return? This is ridiculous, mine has this too.

AT&T wouldn't have done it themselves, just semantically speaking.
They would have made a deal with the OEM (Motorola) to make the modifications on their behalf before packaging.

It's awesome! I get about 2 days of battery life. Links flawlessly with the Note4. I love the auto-call forwarding when the 2 are not paired. Best smart watch I've ever had or seen! (I have tried the Omate, Gear2, Kreyos)
Nice...I'm going for the zenwatch...cheeper and has wayyyyyy more apps
I'm impressed with the design of the Gear S and it looks just as good if not better then the 360. Imo. The curved screen helps keep the thickness size down.
I'm really liking the Gear S. I had a Pebble smart watch before, but I have decided to sell it after using the Gear S. I wrote a review of how the Gear S benefits my daily life.

That's what she said. LoL. I like the big screens that's why I have it and the Note 4. Da. Hehe. Yes you need your own plan because it has a sim and a number. Obviously it has it's pros and cons like any other gadget but I bought it because I liked the design a lot. People say that it's huge but like I said it doesn't feel huge when it's on because of the curve. I'm pretty sure the 360 and LG G watch R are thicker. I'm happy with it so far.

I guess I need to go to a tmo store and check it out; I really like my gear 2 neo, so I am a smart watch proponent now; I just cant decide if its worth the extra $$$ over my gear 2 neo...
is there only one color at t mobile?
if you buy it, and hate it, is it a 50 dollar charge to return it like a phone?
was it easy to set up forwarding from your phone number to your watch phone number?

How much was it dude? It is payday lol getting that gta 5 on ps4
It's $350 at T-Mobile and I just financed it so the wife won't yell at all at once. LoL. Only black but you can change the band when available. Yes it's pricey but pretty sure it's the only one with a sim. I was going to wait and see if it drops for the holiday but oh well. Christmas is early for me. Hehe. Oh I'm pretty sure Verizon doesn't even have the sim in the phone. Stupid Verizon. LoL
Whoa lol that is bro.
I'm just curious if it's worth it or just a gadget. Nothing wrong with gadgetry, but at $350 I want to get some benefit from it.
You said it alratld. Idk about spending that on a watch my phone does all of that PLUS more. That's why a simple moto 360 or better yet the zenwatch at $200 will be worth it... @ 350 I can see why it's expensive . It's A PHONE. That's what I love about it, what I don't is that is powered by tizen instead of the almighty ANDROID. Thus why I went for the zenwatch.
Loving mine!

I said the same thing with tablets but had to try one. After a few months I sold my Nexus 7. I prefer my phablet since I can type a lot quicker on it then a tablet plus it can still fit in my pocket. I didn't think I would ever get a smartwatch but after seeing the Gear S I had to try it. I'll decide after 14 days if it's a keeper or not but you have to pay to play for good stuff. lol

My T-Mobile stores just had a demo but no stock. I had to order it and the manager said he would take care of the $25 overnight shipping. I'll have to check my bill since he was going to credit me. I just had to pay $53 and change. I did see that I'm being charged $15 a month to finance it. It says on the website $14.58 a month and $5 for the line so I need to find out about that as well. If I keep it I'll probably pay it off in a month or two.
I bought it out right on AT&T for 299 off contract. Tmobile wanted 349 Verizon wanted 399 so they all do the same thing so went with the 299 version.
This device is stuffing the megillah. $350....I rather carry a nexus 5

I look at it this way. I haven't bought a nice watch in awhile so why not. LoL. I have a Note 4 and have no need for a Nexus 5 or any other phone.
agree; if you are into nice watches, and I know I am, then this is actually a bargain.
I have several "normal" watches, including an Omega Seamaster, so, to me, these smart watches are a natural addition to that..
Seeing as the G4 was released days ago I'm sure a lot of us are still within the 'buyers remorse' period, which leads me to the question, myself included.
Are you planning on keeping yours even if say root won't be available?
I'm on Tmobile, and used my jump (1) coming from the Note 4 and still trying to decide whether or not to keep the G4. To me it definitely feels better in hand and more compact. Plenty fast, camera is great but I am hoping for root as I'd want to disable some crap.
What's everyone else thinking?
I'm on those that don't care about root, so yeah i bought G4 to keep it as my 2015 phone and next year let's see what's up for me .
And i'm loving this phone in all ways so yeah, i'm not even thinking a bit about returning it.
I'm keeping it no matter what happens! Best phone ever 100000%!

I'm thinking I'll return it. If not for the fact that I'm on Verizon and most likely the BL will remain locked, then because the WiFi load speeds suck. I get 40mb down on my 5ghz router yet the load times on Web pages are horrible. There is definitely something wrong with WiFi.

This is everything I could ask for in a phone. I don't see myself even upgrading next year. I don't know what I could even want extra. I only text my gf and family and browse the web and take pictures for self pleasure. I don't feel the need to spend another 600 on a phone. Keeping my g3 as a backup phone and possibly selling it if the price is right.
Love the phone. Only slightly better than the G3 in my opinion but thats still pretty darn good. Camera is amazing though and the rear speaker is loud and powerful. I'll be keeping it.
Love the phone since turning off fast dormancy fixed my battery problems, it's superior to my s5 in all respects now the s6 was just that one step too much like an iPhone for me and HTC pissed me off when they used to promise device updates and not deliver by uturning at the last moment. Only thing I'm waiting on its a decent gen 3 Android wear watch to launch. And root is no good to me as my banking app will not install to a rooted device due to security issues.
Even though this thing was totally an impulse buy (stopped at Best Buy Thursday to check out a floor model and ended up buying), I'm actually extremely satisfied. I think a lot of keeping or returning depends on the device you're coming from. For me, this screen blows the Nexus 6's out of the water in terms of brightness, color, and clarity. The size is more manageable and I'm not dealing with random app crashes (especially the google play services issues for the past couple weeks).
For the past few years, I've never had a preference between AMOLED or LCD, but I think this finally did it. I can't think of too many screens I've looked at days after purchase and still thought it was an absolute joy to look at.
I'm on AT&T and I can't say that root or no root bothers me too much. It's fun to tinker with new roms, but I don't have any real reason for root. I couldn't stand not having a notification light on the Nexus 6, so I needed root for that. The only thing I miss is being able to change my emojis to match my wife's S5. Another reason I enjoy root and unlocked bootloader is in case poor updates come out, then I can usually revert.
For reference, I've owned many phone in the past year and a half. Some short that got returned or sold and some for longer periods. Moto X 2013, Note 3, Nexus 5, Galaxy Note 4, Galaxy S5, G3, Galaxy S6, Nexus 6, and finally the G4.
I am getting it swapped out with Tmobile. Heat, lag, etc. Hope 2nd time's the charm...
I think im gonna keep it. I just ordered a bunch of stuff for it like quick charger, cases....
Sent from my LG-H815 using Tapatalk
I'm pretty much set for another year. G3 before this and i avoided all the other temptations that came out before the G4 got here. I feel like i can do the same until next year.

Was told or read it's only beneficial if your carrier supports it else it generates Wake locks

that Was My g4 with it on no real use pretty much standby.
After I switched it off I'm calling my carrier on Monday to confirm if they support FD.
Who's your carrier?
I'm probably swapping for another G4 with Tmobile on Monday. Outside chance I get something else instead, but I really want the G4 to work out. I'm having touchscreen issues and my battery life isn't great.
The reviews wowed me much more than the actual phone, which isn't that but of an upgrade. Yeah, the camera is amazing but I barely use them. The screen is really nice and it is pretty quick though.
I'm keeping it but there are a few things I wish were changed, mostly small annoyances like having to swipe to unlock the phone after clicking a notification or the swipe to unlock message altogether.
How do you disable fast dormancy?
My carrier is 3UK.

I'm really on the fence. I've been waiting for the G4 for a while, but discovered at the last minute that Best Buy didn't offer the leather cases for Verizon. I bought the gray one anyhow ($100 gift card), THEN discovered that Verizon had removed several software features such as Themes and Smart Settings. Finally, I was originally concerned about the size of the phone, since I felt that the G3 was the maximum size I would want. The G4 isn't much longer, but it is wider (so wide that it doesn't fit into my car clip). It didn't seem that big in the store, but once I put a case on it, it seemed to fall into the "phablet" category. Throw in a battery life that's not as impressive as advertised, and buyer's remorse starts creeping in.
It's a nice phone, but it's not that much of an improvement over my G3 to completely win me over. I'll give it another week and a half, but at this point I doubt I'll keep it.

Then they haven't been working there long enough to remember the LG Rumor debacle, or the Palm Pre. When I was fixing rumors due to shredding flex cables and faulty charging ports, our manager authorized free replacements with brand new Rumor 2s, which broke... Just as much, really. Seriously, the original Rumor's port would snap off if a baby sneezed in the same zip code. I have nightmares about that phone and the 65 billion screws it had.
The Palm Pre had the Oreo effect, where the two halves would just start twisting freely, like you were taking apart an oreo. And of course, Palm wouldn't let us repair them, so we had to just swap them with refurbs. We had people that were on their 7th, 8th, 9th devices, but didn't want a different model because of Palm loyalty, and the fact that the Pre had a REALLY nice OS, as compared to early Android.

The forum does not seem to be exploding with this issue, most we find is this thread on it here and see my post lower down that links to sprint users. All of two pages
Things are quiet because LG is replacing the screens under warranty. In my market they offer a 6 month after purchase screen replacement offer. Samsung does the same as well. This means if this problem does not occur within 6 months then it ain't going to happen.
Knowing that this issue may happen and if it does all it takes is a simple screen replacement that too under warranty means i would be less excited if this occurred. An inconvenience to head off to the service center but at least i know i will get it back very likely on the same day because this thing is easy to repair.
Not knowing this can happen otoh would be frightening.
Will be interesting what Sprint will say when I take mine in tomorrow......I will show them this for sure if I get any hassle......I just want my phone!! Grrrr!!

It's a recall that only effected the Sprint, not necessarily CDMA as Verizon is not impacted, but something Sprint added software wise that created a hardware issue. The major symptom is the screen half snow or static, but other issues such as overheating, freezes, bootloops, stuck on LG logo during boot, touch response issues and network connectivity issues. This effects all models manufactured prior to 10/5/15, in which LG modified the hardware to not have an issue with what ever Sprint does with their software. Knock on wood, the only issue I have had is the network connectivity (average 30% without signal) and constant dropping signal and jumping between 3G and LTE. Kinda a pain in the butt, but I do have to say its improved with ZV6, even though not completely gone. Mine was manufactured May 2015.

Read up a post or two.
Is this a horizontal split or vertical? My girlfriend's G4 has a horizontal split that we're not sure how it came to be.

Wow!
Just got my priv today. Have had it for about three hours. Like it so far. Always have been a BlackBerry fanboy. But since android, I made the switch and never looked back. This device seems to be the perfect mix. So far so good!

T-mobile variant - You already got T-Mobile's version of PRIV?
Yeah, walked in to the store and sales rep says "We just got 2 delivered a few mins ago. But they don't go on sale until tomorrow, eh what the heck. You want one now?"

I called T-Mobile couple of days ago and tech told me that "theoretically" unlocked PRIV on T-Mobile's network may also get AAD442 update that you got. I am currently on AAD250 with January security patch. Hope that this updates will also be available for factory unlocked PRIV devices because T-Mobile fixed couple of issue contained here: https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-24554
I'm thinking of getting one today I'm a little worried about some of the negative reviews I've read. Currently have a 6 edge plus but want something different I'm tired of samsung
I've had almost every device out there except the new LG. As you know, devices are all based on personal preference. You need to determine what your highest priority is and then go from there. My top priority is battery strength. I am on the road in and out of meetings, so it is hard for me to charge during the day. I still haven't found a great great device in that regard. My next priority is the camera to take pictures of my kids. So far, the BlackBerry in the almost 24 hours that I've had it, has been great in both respects. My last device, the Nexus 6P, camera was not very impressive. Although, with marshmallow, the battery on the 6P is really good. But the Priv has lived up to all of the hype thus far. Feel free to ask any questions or a comparison of any device, as I mentioned I have had most all of the flagship devices.
Pick one up at t-mobile today as well. Miss having a fingerprint reader. The pkb is better then I expected according to reviews. I know battery life will get better.
After wanting to check one out for a while I was able to play with one at a t-mobile store. I ended up buying one, there said they only had 2 in stock so I said what the hell. I am impressed by the build quality and am getting used to a physical keyboard again. I need to dig deeper into the blackberry specific features to really get the most of it but my initial impression is positive.

PKB - Physical keyboard
I picked up a Private from TMo yesterday as well. I'm impressed so far, I really missed the physical keyboard from my old BlackBerry days. Only complaint so far is the bloat ware.

I just ordered one B&H I figured the unlocked should be the same as the tmobile variant and this was I saved a ton in taxes. I have the S6 edge now but have been with Samsung since the nexus. But I missed the good old blackberry keyboard. I tried in an att store b/c no one else had one on display. I did think the old bb keyboards were better. Can't wait till tomorrow.

With no root in sight, I went in and just disabled all the TMo apps. There are 4 I believe. Really boosted my battery life. I went from about 5-6 hours to 11-12 hours, both with moderate use. So if your having battery issues, give it a try. Oh and my phone no longer gets hot either.

Disabling all the bloatware was the first thing I did because I noticed a major drain with the Tmobile app.
As for having a fingerprint scanner for that quick unlock of the device... I haven't really missed it since I have an android wear watch. Smart lock has easily been my favorite feature of lollipop and on... so easy to stay mostly secure and be able to quickly unlock my device all throughout the day. I would highly suggest one for this reason!
