If you're talking about this..... http://www.androidcentral.com/samsu...free-stand-case-sd-card-and-netflix-gift-card
It seems you have to purchase during the promotional period (i.e if you purchased it on launch or anytime before today, you're not eligible.

Some people say otherwise... But in any event, registration in the samsung shop app just gets "Registration error". Anyone else?

US only from my understanding, Exynos variant doesn't count

I got mines on April 21st, I was still able to register. Fingers crossed lol.

[Q] Samsung Galaxy SIII at AT&T?

Hello all,
I was just wondering when the expected release date of the SIII on AT&T in the US was. I know there has been very little, if any, official word on the subject, but I am sure the experts here could make an accurate assumption for release.
Thanks,
~Bucky
Wouldn't expect any specific date confirmation for a couple weeks. Im thinking last week of June hopefully. Possibly price ranges of $199-$399 respectively buuuuuuuut thats just my guess hahaha
If anyone hears anyting post it up.
I was talking to a rep the other day from AT&T, he googled it when I asked him when the launch date was. Needless to say, I'll believe it when I see it....too much misinfo going around.
http://thedroidguy.com/2012/06/att-pushes-back-samsung-galaxy-s3-release-date-to-june-28th/
See:
****Correction***** The Samsung Galaxy SIII will be available in AT&T stores on 6/21. We’re getting conflicting reports, but we received words from AT&T reps that the phones should be available by tomorrow in stores! Apologize for any confusion! also, see below for T-Mobile’s release plan.

He did...I laughed. It was clear that he had no clue so I didn't even bother.
June 28th, a week from today. That's straight from the Samsung reps mouth.
Keep in mind, this is what I was told by ATT.

Oxymoron isn't the word you were looking for.
Anyway, he let me listen to some of the "class" they went through (he was allowed to record it). It was basically a "how to market the sgs3" seminar.
The main point I cared about, 28th was the day my local store will begin sales.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
While the 28th is very unfortunate there really isn't anything we can do about it. I wish they would of let people who wanted "no commitment" have the ability to pre-order. I wouldn't be in this predicament, having to wait to the 28th, if that were the case.

My AT&T local store manager said, very confidently, that they will go on sale Monday, June 25th. Who knows?? I'm just amazed at how different the information is from one store to the next.

Damn...still seems like pre-order is the only way to go. Sounds like you will get your phone much faster than just waiting on the store to get shipments.

Asda Direct

Hi guys,
I just placed my order for a One last night on Asda Direct.
Anyone else orederd from them also?
Thought I would start a thread in case anyone else has.
Seems like most people who getting it SIM Free are getting it from Handtec but Handtec have no cashback so works out £13 more.
Looks like Asda Direct delivery is hit or miss so even though it states delivery on release date (which is wrong info as its bank holiday and I called them and they said should be with you on the Saturday), I doubt I will get it before 2nd April.
Does Asda direct allow international purchases also?

Ordered mine last week - due to be delivered to me the end of next week (29th). The bundle is a nice touch and £499 all in very good. They only have silver, which suits me fine. And it's SIM free...
http://direct.asda.com/HTC-One-Mobile-Phone-with-Pre-Order-Bundle-Offer/008733978,default,pd.html
I hope those who have ordered from expansys or handtec know they might get non-UK stock. Good luck...
You wont get it on 29th as its bank holiday.
Earliest is 30th for us.
Thats if they not sold out of first batch of phones.

Got a text from them this morning that said by the 29th. ( I ordered it quite a while ago). As that is Good Friday I suspect the day before... anyway at least it's coming!
EDIT: Just noticed the page now has a "7 days to go" banner on it...

I called yesterday to ask and they asked the manager and he said no deliveries on good Friday so earliest will be 30th.
Yeah banner said 8 days to go yesterday which counts down to Good Friday.
Dont matter when you placed order, unless they dispatch it on 27th you wont get it before 30th.

Hi! What made you say that those who ordered from those stores won't be getting UK handsets?
I think it's quite weird since those are based on UK. I don't think HTC would be stocking US or Asian handsets on those stores right? Else that would just mess up their distribution structure.

Ás much as I want that good luck it's highly impossible. As you can see I am not from UK so having a non-UK phone on handtec would greatly benefit me as that would likely give me chances of having a compatible Asian LTE. But I already asked them about that before I made a purchase and as they said they'll be providing EU models only. They even posted on the description the LTE bands it will be supporting. So.... hopefully your words would create a miracle. lol
I sent them a email saying they are false advertising that we will get it delivered on good friday. Thats impossible so they are in fact lying to customers.
Will ask for good will reward or I will go instore to purchase one at Phones4U.
Asda have updated their site with:
"Item is available to pre-order, delivery will be 3 to 5 working days from date of order."

I see the 3 - 5 day delivery message now too, hopefully a promising sign that they're going to be sending them out on time .
Weird, mine just updated now to same message.
I am not going to get hopes up, I think its just a automated message that comes up when there is 5 days left for release.

You might be right. I think most orders, if not all, will be delivered on the 2nd of April or after that, but I hope to be proven wrong.

Is T-Mobile still doing early shipping for S7 Edge?

I pre ordered by S7 Edge in Gold yesterday(3/3). Is T-Mobile still shipping them out early, or have they stopped that? If they have stopped would I at least get phone on the release day?

I'm wondering what's going to happen with my order from 2/23. They shipped it on 2/29 but thanks to a miscommunication between UPS and T-Mobile it was sent back to T-Mobile after it got as close as 2 miles away from me! Now it's back to T-Mobile and they are re-ordering me a new one since they can't locate the one that was returned. I'm guessing I'll be sent to the back of the line again which is such B.S.

I was out of town and had a vacation hold via UPS My Choice. For some reason, that triggered an automatic return to T-Mobile's warehouse in Ft. Worth, TX. Despite multiple phone calls w/ both UPS and T-Mobile and being re-assured multiple times, they couldn't get the package sent back to me. They have now placed a new order for me but they put me in the back of the line and claim there's nothing they can do since the phone hasn't been officially released yet. Very very upset with T-Mobile over this as I've been told on separate occasions that I'd receive it tomorrow but most recently was told they have know way of knowing when I'll receive it.

Anyone know if its 4-7 Business Days or 4-7 Calendar Days. I just spoke to 611 and she insisted it was Business Days, which really sucks if true, because I ordered mine on 3-2

Thats a bummer. They should really put that somewhere then. Its not even in the small print.
I ordered mine on the 4th. It just says processing so I called and before I even said what I was calling for sure said "are you looking for a Samsung s7?"
I guess at this point they are saturated with orders. I guess it's a huge success. Looks like early shipping has run it's course.

T-Mobile S8/S8+ Waiting Room!

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.

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?

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.

(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.
