Warning for all who got usps shipping for the note! - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

Just wanted to let you all know. In my area after many long calls waiting for info... I have found out that the USPS has no idea where are shippment is beyond mephis TN as of 4pm lastnight cst. And if you think cust services sucks anyplace else... USPS pretty much told me to sit and spin while telling me if I fill out form 3533 I "might" be able to get my shipping cost refunded since they didnt make there overnight shipping date and have no idea when the package will arrive.
While I called ATT to let them know of this problem with USPS so they know never to use that useless service again.. ATT gave me a $20 credit on my account instantly.
ATT you have always did me right... now just please stop using the USPS.. its like playing a slot machine sometimes you win and get your package on time... most of the time you lose and you get it whenever.....

Abes of Maine in stock 1/8/12

http://www.abesofmaine.com/item.do?item=ASTF201-B1-CG&id=ASTF201-B1-CG&&kbid=tf201
32GB Champagne only at the moment.
Sorry, just saw notice. Please delete.
The website says it is available, but the sales person i just spoke to claims it is still back ordered.
the link she provided says this also:

That link says available for me. I'm talking about the Champagne. The rest show backordered.
--EDIT:
I called them and they confirmed them in stock.
Be careful, read the other thread on Abes.
They screwed a lot of people over already
Call to confirm stock before ordering.
I did. I plan on making a BIG deal of the issue if it doesn't arrive by next week because I cancelled an Amazon order from the 26th for it. But the salesman told me they we in the system and NOT a website error. They also told me that the remaining backorders had been pulled from the inventory.
EDIT: I looked on the other thread, and noticed that most people hadn't been charged. My Google Checkout account has been charged as of this afternoon so I hope that's good news.

My google checkout was also processed but I saw this thread and when I called them (and also did a Web/live chat) they said they had none in stock and hopefully will be getting more next week.
I sent her the link on this site (that even when speaking to her showed available) but she showed me a link,on the site that conflicted with mine.
Either way, if I hear nothing tomorrow morning I will call them to cancel.

Wow....
They did it again?!
I will not be giving them my business ever. Just wait guys, best buy is getting them in stock every few days or so...newegg also.
Well, if they don't ship something before Wednesday, I'll block the payment on my Visa and play up the false-advertising card with them.
Plus, the salesman told me that my order was IN STOCK sitting in their warehouse. Anything less and I cancel.

Well it seems there is a disconnect within their ERP/Inventory system. After being told by 2 customer care agents that there were absolutely no tablets in stock, my card was charged and I am told now (when I gave my Abe's order number) that it will be delivered tomorrow morning.
Now, if after all this they do not send me my shipping number (this afternoon) as promised or deliver tomorrow - I WILL BE VERY PISSED (yes, this is me dramatically using all caps!)
I'll call and push the issue then. I noticed that they are still listed as in stock too. If there was an inventory system issue, dont you think that they would have fixed it?
They just told me that they recieved the shipment this morning, and my order will ship out no later than tommorrow! (Standard shipping speed)

Did you get it yet?
Are you getting the issue with "unknown serial number" described in this forum?
I will get mine on Thursday.

All i can say is WOW!
I love this device and i have not had one problem.
As most people on this thread know i have been lurking about trying to make up my mind about getting this device.
I really want to tell people on the fence that the tfp is great (i have not tested GPS while driving,that is what my car or phone is for).
I just installed ICS and it is so smooth/fast and much cleaner than HC.
I will admit that the number of issues raised on this forum is indicative of serious (initial) QA/QC issues at Asus. I hope my experience means they have addressed this.

Called my BB Mobile store where I'd pre-ordered. They had received them but were adamant about Sunday hard sell date
I called Thursday, nothing, I called today, nothing. I went into the store tonight and they had a dummy one sitting out, first time I picked one up, felt good in the hands. My BB said they believe they will have them Sunday,
I called three best buys around the Chicago Land area and they each had only 2 white galaxy notes...did not ask for the blue. The 3 stores included the 1 that i placed my preorder at. I asked if i could pick it up but they said no that the phone will be released on sunday and to be there when the store opens.
My best buy has notes in. Went in to pick them up, but the rep had no idea what he was doing. He walked around the store for a good 30 minutes and came back and told us that they aren't releasing them until Sunday.
I got the email on Thursday that mine was ready to pick up. I called em, and I asked if I could pick it up. The chica did say mine was there but I had to wait until Sunday at 10am to pick it up.
I tried to explain to her that the internet doesn't lie and my email said I could pick it up. Then she had the gall to tell me the internet lies but that she wouldn't lie to me. I told her I had an exwife that lied to me all the time. She said she was different than all those other women. So I asked if she would marry me. Of course she wanted to go on a date first. I then asked if I took her on a date if I could pick up my note early. She still said no. Gaw

(Q) Airave and other problems.

So I had an airave take a dump on me. I called Sprint and got another one sent to me. I hooked the new one up and it wasn't connecting with the network. I called to troubleshoot and they said they'd send me another one. When I woke up in the morning everything was connected and working fine, so I sent back the old defective one and called to cancel the one they were going to send me. This was back in December and I thought everything was fine till about four weeks ago. Now they are trying to charge me $300 for not returning the one that is hooked up, working, and still in use. They have no record of the defective one being sent back. In so many words I told them they will have to suck the money from my cold dead limp penis. I'm about to drop a big chunk of change on three new phones and go pre paid if I can, otherwise I'll have to sign a contract with T-Mobile and still have to drop some cheese. I'm going to call the retentions department on Monday and see if I end up raging on Sprint for the last time. Just throwing it out there to see if anyone has any advice that I haven't thought of. Fyi ball of fire has been discussed, but not ruled out.
T.Y.I.A.
:beer::beer::beer::beer::beer::beer::beer::beer:
Wow lol.
Don't you have tracking info for the returned device? Why are they wanting you to pay $300 for the one that is hooked up? Were you paying the $5\mo charge before all of this happened? Had you paid the $99 for any of the devices at any point (the intiial fee some have to pay?)

I haven't ever been charged anything for the airave because it's been needed to be able to use their service.
It was months ago when I sent it back and don't even know where to begin with ups. At this point I don't even know which one they want money for. It was originally the one that was hooked up in my house until they found out I have it. Now they're wanting money for the one they say they haven't received. Should I file a claim with ups or would that not help at all since Sprint says there is no activity with the tracking number assigned to the return packaging. So if I dropped it off at ups and there hasn't been any activity connected with the tracking number one would think it's just sitting in the back room then.
Dude had the exact samething happen to me. I logged into sprint to pay my bill and noticed the hefty charge on there and called into customer service to see wtf. They told me the same that there was no record of the broken one being returned so they were going charge me. However, I *****ed and complained enuff that they did take the charge off my account.

Who did you talk to? What department? I'm calling retentions in the morning. Is that the department you went through? Did you have to talk about burning someone's house down or stuff about their mom? I've been dealing with this for months now and this is the last time I'm going to talk to them about this so I was wondering if there were and key words or phrases that I should use to optimize my results.
It was a person in billing. She told me that she would go ahead and remove the charge cause surely they had the old airave or it jus hadn't got updated in system yet. I guess I got lucky. I basically just *****ed how it wasn't my fault that they didn't receive it and I gave it to ups and had a receipt. Good luck man.and hope it works out for you.

Supposedly they have checked the warehouse twice and can't find it. It's probably already been fixed and sent out to their next victim.

I have to send the one I'm using back and wait for the charges to come off then call and tell them I have bad reception so I get a new one. These people suck. I'm going back to T-Mobile in June. At least I get to wait till they make the phone I want lol
On a positive note I won't be getting charged. Advice for everyone. Do not call customer service if you have problems! They know nothing and don't have authority to do anything. I'm calling retentions from now on if I have a problem. That number for anyone that cares to know is 855-848-3280. At least the guy I talked to know what's going on and how to fix it even if it was a round about way.

Gipped: Media Link Not Delivered

Hope someone can help with this one.
My GF had to go to an AT&T retail store to preorder her One because the Premiere website wasn't workiing for her. She got the phone, but they didn't ship the Media Link adapter, and I know she ordered well within the promotional period, and that there was still inventory available because of posts made here after her order that confirmed it.
We went to the store and inquired, and they said we had to call customer service, so we did. After a while on the phone with customer service, we were told to go to the store.
It would be helpful if anyone here has a part# or SKU# - and perhaps any advice for us on how to go about next steps, so we can get this done.
Thanks in advance!

Item: HITECH PJ83100 ACCESSORY
Part Number: 41398
AT&T is ostensibly clueless when it comes to the availability of this product. I had one ordered prior to the presale, and one after it was clear the former wasn't coming. After the second didn't come they told me they couldn't even guarantee it would ship at all so they found a local shop that had one in stock and sent me to pick one up there.
And then, so you know, unless you have a tethering plan it'll be a glorified paperweight until an update is released by AT&T (or HTC). It doesn't work.
i never got mine... called at&t and got a 180 bill credit for not getting them. worth it in my opinion
Interesting. I ordered mine on the 16th, in store, and my rep couldn't get the Media Link HD to populate in the cart. So I just figured I wasn't gonna get one, which wasn't a big deal since I wouldn't have really used it anyway.
However, last week I got a random email from AT&T stating it was on its way. They must be fulfilling the backorders on it automatically now.

This info worked, thanks. Got the local store to order one up.
There is a flashable zip file which makes the unit usable under the AT&T ROM, or you can flash a custom ROM like ARHD which likewise does the problem.

the update was released by htc... it works now without tether or custom rom.
I noticed that mine didn't end up shipping either after a few weeks. I called premier support, and was told that I would need to call general support to update my "rate plan code" in order to be eligible. I had no idea what that meant, but I figured it would somehow involve AT&T trying to screw me into upgrading my call/data plan.
I called general support, and they were clueless of both the promotion and what a "rate plan code" was. Isn't this company just great? However, after an hour and a half on the phone, we finally got everything sorted out. They ended up opening a new order and manually discounting the item.
I finally got it the other day. Now, I just need to find a way to allow the media link to still stream video with the phone screen off, so it doesn't rape my battery life. Anyone have any suggestions? Is there a fix available?

T-Mobile to launch Samsung Gear S with bespoke $5 wearable rate plan on Nov. 9

http://www.tmonews.com/2014/10/t-mo...s-with-bespoke-5-wearable-rate-plan-on-nov-9/
I may just have to check this out... $5 a month! Not bad
I called them this morning...
I am already with T-mobile and called them this morning with a load of questions.
Their call centers were briefed on the Gear S just yesterday. As far as they know, the Gear S can not be pre-ordered, as it is considered an accessory. I did register to purchase, though, but did not receive a confirmation of any kind. The call centers are very new to the product and training is still ongoing, so if you reach out, take what they say with a grain of salt.
Even if they don't know all the details just yet, I would rather it is announced with a date as opposed to waiting around another week for their staff to be trained properly
I really want this watch and that rate plan is a good deal. Now the only thing left is the gear vr.

Agreed same thing the other carriers have said about the accessory part but last I checked we are not paying a data plan to listen to our music via bluetooth headphones which are true accessories. This gear S is a mini phone with a mini plan.
T-mobile plan to have it available Nov 9th not sure what the offical launch days are with t-mobile but it doesn't sound like they are Sunday so indeed they don't really care about this launch

Yeah, I went down to the T-Mobile store and asked to get a call as soon as it came in! They look awesome!
I am very interested in buying this thing (two of them actually) wondering if anyone has asked or knows: Will it get it's own number or can they link it to your current number? I just don't think it'll be real useful to txt and call with a diff number than your phone. Also, anybody have any idea if this will work with note 2 (wife still using N2). Thanks!

Yes it works on Samsung galaxy S3 and up. If you have T-mobile/AT&T you can use your number from the phone. You forward your calls when you want to leave the phone at home

T-Mo Gear S
Got mine today!
FYI. Not many T-Mobile employees are knowledgeable on the accessory rollouts. (Prepare to know more than them)
I went into a T-mo store today to inquire about the Nov. 9th release, and see if it was possible to get it early. The rep didn't know anything about it, nor did his manager. After some insistence from me, they checked the T-Mo community & confirmed my info, but still didn't know when they would get it. All they said was "we don't get deliveries on Sundays, we'll call you Monday if we get some in". Frustrated, but not defeated, I went home did a little more research, called another T-mo location. Not only did they know what I was talking about, they had it in stock & would sell it to me today. 15 minutes later...Got it!!!
If at first you don't succeed... :good:

Can you clarify the question asked? Do we need a previous T-Mobile plan? Online it only lets us chose $5 plan if we have already a Simply Choice line with T-Mobile. And only option is $15 a month plan if no T-Mobile. Are you saying if we go to store we can get the $5 plan even without another Simply Choice line?
Just got one from my local tmobile store.

Got mine today!
FYI. Not many T-Mobile employees are knowledgeable on the accessory rollouts. (Prepare to know more than them)
I went into a T-mo store today to inquire about the Nov. 9th release, and see if it was possible to get it early. The rep didn't know anything about it, nor did his manager. After some insistence from me, they checked the T-Mo community & confirmed my info, but still didn't know when they would get it. All they said was "we don't get deliveries on Sundays, we'll call you Monday if we get some in". Frustrated, but not defeated, I went home did a little more research, called another T-mo location. Not only did they know what I was talking about, they had it in stock & would sell it to me today. 15 minutes later...Got it!!!
If at first you don't succeed... :good:

Every T-mobile store here in Milwaukee said they didn't have it. There was one that said they might get a shipment sometime during this week.

I believe I answered the original question quite clearly. I'll give yours a try though...
Disclaimer:
I can only speak of my experience & the questions that I brought up\answers received.
I am already a T-Mobile account holder (Simple Choice Plan). I'd read about the $5/mo. plan online, and when the rep in the store said $15/mo., I was slightly confused. (then came the questions)
The rep seemed confused and was really pushing the $15 plan as if that was the only option, after a lot of back & forth, he admitted that I didn't have to get that plan if buying the watch outright. (I didn't have to get any plan)
They said it's like setting up another line. The watch will even has its own phone number. (more than likely works by "re-routing" calls to your "phone's" number when applicable & vice-versa)
To the best of my knowledge;
If you ARE currently a "T-Mobiler", and you buy it outright, and don't want the "standalone" mobile network features, you don't need to select a plan at all.
If you ARE currently a "T-Mobiler", and you buy it outright, and want the "standalone" mobile network features, you select the $5 plan.(what I did)
If you ARE currently a "T-Mobiler", and you choose the "payment plan" option, you must select the $15 option. (payment plan devices MUST be insured, like the JUMP program)
If you are NOT a "T-Mobiler", and you buy it outright, but want the "standalone" mobile networkfeatures of the watch (not just the "watch -> phone Bluetooth connection" option), you have to get the $15 plan.
**After purchasing the watch, you have up to 14 days to add the "protection plan" to it. ($10/mo I guess)
I can't tell you much about "non" account holder info, as I am a "T-Mobiler".
Hope that helps.
