T-Mobile S8/S8+ Waiting Room! - Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion

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.

Ok, why is the pic upside down? This a residual April fool's joke by XDA?

What's the deal with the Gear VR promo? I know all of the major carriers are offering it, but I wasn't clear when I placed my order how it works. Does T-Mobile ship it with the phone, or do we have to send away for it after we get the phone?

Send away for it. But it can all be done online. I've never had an issue in the past.

I preordered mine on the Samsung website but when. Asked for carrier I clicked TMobile. Is that the same thing as going to the TMobile store or will that be the international edition?

Is that a good or bad thing? I honestly haven't had a custom ROM or anything in that nature since the G1. So rooting and custom ROM's I consider to be new to me, in that sense would I be able to do that on this phone because I just read that it has its bootloader locked?

God I've been checking the "check status of order" on my tmobile app endlessly hoping they ship it sooner than the 20th haha, impatiently waiting for the s8+ in black

Waiting for my UPS choice email usually know a package is coming long before I get a confirmation!

so i just got off t-mobile chat n they made it sound as if you had to pay 99 bucks for the AKG headphones n sd card .... i could of sworn it was said all galaxy s 8 and s8 plus would come standard with AKG is this not the case or are they miss leading me to try to purchase an additional pair of headphones??

Hurry up and wait, S8+ Black.

Pretty good deal. I love how they advertise the picture of a white i9100 for the front and the back of the real Note lol. But I've bought from them and they're legit, but my keyboard box was all beat up, the keyboard was pristine. It took them about 1-2 weeks for my keyboard order to arrive, I believe as there is so much demand for the things they sell.

Dude, ive been married almost 3 years now and I know the work-around for your issue. You order it and when it shows up at your door and she sees it you say: "baby, summer is almost here. I got this for you so you can relax by the pool and read a nice book, or listen to music, or even watch a movie if you'd like" The she gives you a big hug and a kiss and when she gets tired of the damn thing its all yours.
PS: replace pool with balcony/backyard if no pool is available.

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.

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 just spoke with Sprint because I'm on a subsidized plan and want to keep it . no problems there, and she told me I can get my 10 at any corporate store tomorrow (plenty around me). Gonna take an early lunch break....like 9am, LOL. But she said only Glacier Silver is offered. I really had my heart set on Gunmetal Grey. Do you or any other Sprint user know the colors available?

Shrug. I bought the M9 from Sprint and it had Uh-Oh. Maybe the M10 is different.
Anyone seen it available in any of the stores yet?
Sprint is clueless regarding this launch. I have been trying to purchase the phone since early early this morning. Website would not let transaction process as others described. I had an appointment at a Sprint store...not one person could confirm when or even if Sprint will carry the Carbon Grey. So pathetic. I called sales and even they have no clue. They only mention that they have Glacier Silver and cannot confirm if they will ever have Carbon Grey. How does no one in that company have any details?

(Maybe) Free S8/8+ gifts from Samsung

According to Android Central, this starts tomorrow and is does include people who have bought the phone in the pre-sale.
Doesn't make any sense to me but I'll try it tomorrow morning.

In the app, go to the menu in the upper left corner and from the drop down menu hit My Promotions, it was there for me.
I'm not 100% it went through, it says 'claimed' but when I initially did it I didn't get a confirmation screen.
I'm wondering, since the VR deal is sold out, if this is another way to stop the hate for Samsung and allow people to claim this who missed out on the VR.
