Saw this today check your nearest beat but it's only for today and select colors only! Even though the gear 2 is most likely to be announced with the s5 the 1st great for $150 is still a pretty good deal!
Thanks, but there is a sticky here for this stuff, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2466102
Being that the Gear S will be out friday, I wanted to pick up the Gear Circle or at least read some more views about it. I have not heard very much about it. Want to get some good BT headphones for the note 4, gear s set up.

I have not heard anything about gear circle release Samsung may quietly release it on Nov 7 th as well. Most people have used the LG tone line I'm wondering the big difference between the circle and LG Tone anything for that matter seems the same devices just different name
UPDATE, : someone in the Gear S Accessories thread said they just bought the gear circle at a USA T-mobile for 130$ YMMV
ya same here I found a few devices like the LG tone that support apt x and are cheaper on amazon. I just like samsung stuff lol

Agreed I as well am team Samy but I will definitely be on the look out for a coupon blackfriday is coming up fingers crossed
Saw this in Best Buy ad this a.m. Sale starts tomorrow. Vzw, att & Sprint. Darn - I paid $50 for mine.
Are you kidding me?? I just got mine two days ago and paid $50 as well ?
Don't know if it's national or regional. I'm in Baltimore/DC corridor.
Yeah, it's a black Friday sale, national pricing. Since I paid $100 in August my only consolation is the free charger and battery promotion they honored me :good: $1 is an awesome deal for this phone. There will be a lot more people joining the party here on XDA pretty soon.
I got mine in thanksgiving day! I'm in Texas btw
Just got mine today, plus $150 BB GC since I ported from AT&T and set up new lines on vzw... $150GC/line x 4 lines= $600 GC

Yeah got mine for 50 buck through verizon last night.
Looking forward to this phone.
Hopefully this price drop will increase development for this phone
Just picked one up for my brother friday for $1.00. Very nice device all around!!
I got mine today at the Verizon store only to come home and see the ad. However I also got the LG 8.3 tablet for free through the promotion. So Im not too upset by it
I picked mine up last week on the Edge program and with my Corp discounts plus Verizon giving me $15.00 a month towards it I only pay $4.79 a month. Not bad and to still be off contract, plus being able to also upgrade in a year.
Picked up my three G3's last week from amazon wireless for only a penny each with a two year contract.
So how does this compare to the Galaxy S5 in terms of development? Thinking of making the switch while it's cheap, due for an upgrade in two weeks and I don't think that Verizon is going to include the Nexus 6 in upgrades... hope so but if not thinking about the LG G3. Appears this phone has working AOSP, something the S5 will never have..
I got the "new" Blaze Red edition for free thanks to the Cyber Monday sale yesterday!! It showed up at the house today so I can't wait to go home and root, TWRP it and enjoy all of it's awesomeness tonight!

The only reason you won't be able to get the N6 in a couple weeks is because it won't be out for VZ until early 2015.
Personally I got the G3 when it came out by preorder. Loved it a ton. Then I started eyeballing the Note 4 and made the switch.
Just returned my Note 4 because of TouchWiz and now I'm back on the G3
I was able to get the phone for $30 yesterday and received it today in the mail. Got the blaze red model and it's pretty sweet
I went online and got the red G3's for 3 lines free with $150 credit for each line, thats $450 credit with 25% discount on moto 360 and cases. win! win! Also ordered iflash 3 pack tempered glass screens for $9.99. not bad.

The Moto rep at work told us early 2015 so that's all that I know. VZ didn't want it competing with the Droid Turbo's launch.
anybody bought one recently for $30 with the offer of the free LG Gpad tablet? I can't really find good information on it? Does anyone know if you have to activate the tablet or not?
nevermind: i went through checkout have to activate a new line on tablet which is $10 a month access fee plus another $30 activation fee. deciding whether I want it or not.
I picked up a G3 for my daughter last Friday for FREE from Radio Shack. All I had to pay was taxes. She is LOVING the G3 (coming from an HTC EVO on Sprint) all her friends at school (8th grader) love using her phone to take pics.. I have the G3 on Verizon. I also got the LG G Pad 8.3 for free when I got my G3. Having a tablet with a Sim card is actually pretty nice. I take it with me on many occasions and it comes in handy.
Gotta love best buy's price match guarantee
So you guys may remember the promotion Samsung held in June. Where if you buy a regular S6/S7, S6/S7 Edge, or Note 5 between June 1st and June 19th, Samsung would send you a free Gear VR Along with some "experience pack" that has some games and movies, to my understanding, worth $50. Making the total package worth $150. Or the software pack was worth $150. I can't remember exactly, but I'm pretty sure it was the former. Well I bought my S7 in May, so I didn't qualify for it. But figured "what the hell. Worst that can happen is they deny me" and submitted for it anyways. And, well, they denied me. I figured that would be the result and shrugged it off. I still wanted a Gear VR, and planned on buying one, a few days before I was gonna get it, my laptop that had been hanging on by a thread, finally bit the dust on me. So I ended up putting the Gear VR on the back-burner and had to get a new laptop instead.
Fast-forward to a couple days ago and I get a random email from Samsung. They wrote that although I was initially denied the Gear VR bundle, they changed their minds. Telling me that I'll be notified when it ships (likely 6-8 weeks) and at that time I will also be provided with instructions to redeem the software bundle for it. That was awesome news to me. They didn't have to do that. I was already denied. They could have just left it at that, and no hard feelings, I bought my phone outside the time-frame after all. I was dead in the water. But they decided to manually override my denial and change it so that I WOULD get one instead. They had no reason or obligation to do so, but did it anyways. I'm so excited, and so happy to be receiving one that I thought I would make a post about my awesome experience with them. They definitely went above and beyond for a customer. So I wanted to make this thread to publicly thank Samsung, and to also show the community that I think their customer service is fantastic for going far above and beyond in order to hook me up with the Gear VR just out of the goodness of their hearts. Huge thumbs up for Samsung's service.. Great experience...
well I stand corrected. I got an email this morning with a tracking number. I should get it by the weekend. Sure sounds a lot better to me than 6-8 weeks lol. Also, since I'm rooted, I can hook my PS3 controller up to it, which is perfect. I can't wait to start playing with it
Congrats! Hope u enjoy ur new gear

thanks man. I can't wait. I just found the right app to connect my PS3 controller and created my Oculus account, so I'm basically just waiting to get it in hand and I'm ready to go now
ETA:
FedEx updated me that my shipment is no longer in the "label printed" status and has actually shipped. I'll have it by the end of the day Saturday. Now that it's officially in the air, I can't get any "oh it was a mixup. We didn't intend to send you the approval email. Your purchase didn't qualify afterall, so we can't send you the promotional gift. We apologize for the misunderstanding" kinda crap that I was half expecting with my luck. But now it's in the air so I just gotta wait for it to arrive... Now I really can't wait
yeah i got a free Samsung Gear VR with my S7 haven't used it yet though lol

sure , samsung is raising
I bought a used Sprint S7 off of Swappa and did the promo submission with my PayPal receipt thinking it would probably not be approved because it wasn't new from an official seller... I received an approval and shipment notice within 48 hours. Samsung is being pretty generous with their promo! No complaints here!
Heh, I bought an S7 2 days after the promo ended guess I should have given a shot back when submissions were open!
Lucky you anyway OP.
Is there any way of claiming one now?
I bought the S7 on July 15th. The perfect date to get absolutely nothing! I suppose it's not worth submitting a request anyway?
Congrats, I wish the promotion was still going on but I got a used one off ebay. Is there a big difference between the 2016 version and the older version? Can the newer version fit A case with my s7?

I can use thin silicone cover with 2016 version.
but case like UAG, spigen crystal don't work.
I received the Gear VR '16 in December after buying S7 Flat screen 930F. Is it just me or doesn't it fit the S7 Flat properly?
They were actually meant for the Note 7 as they all come with the Type C adapter. Therefore (me thinks) it was meant for the larger phones being the Note and Edge series. But it works ok - just feels like the phone might fall out of the casing.
I got lucky! Back in December, my previous phone (LG G3) died. Called Verizon to see if any deals were coming up since at the time, the only good ones were with trade-ins. Since my G3 was dead, no trade-in possible. The rep looked and found in his email that starting the next day, various phones would be on-sale for $10/month with no-trade in! This was for the Moto Z, S7, iPhone 7s, and the Google Pixel. I immediately went with the S7.
When I went in the next day (couldn't wait for online to be delivered), the rep in the store brought out the Gear VR. I stated I didn't want to purchase it. He said he understood, but at the time, they were doing the special where if you purchased an S7 or S7 Edge, you got the Gear VR 2016 for free. He wasn't sure if it would work for the no trade-in deal I was using, but he wanted to see if it would. Lo and behold, when he scanned it in with my S7 purchase on the $10/month no trade-in deal, it came up free! So I got quite a deal all together. My phone is $10/month with no trade-in and I got the Gear VR 2016 for free to boot. Also, they included an Oculus code that was good for a $50 valued bundle that covered one of two bundles that I could choose from: a game bundle, or another bundle that included 2 movies (ID4 - the original in 2D, and Life of Pi in 3d) as well as some other VR apps, including Face your Fear, Ocean Rift, etc. Wasn't too bad. Face your Fear was good, especially the Story Time where you're a child in your bed at night and you can choose from three supposedly "happy" books to read at bed time. Yeah, right! Very well done!

I'm such a klutz! After Youtubing, I discovered that you have to move A to B on the VR device by pressing down on that "adapter" for the smaller S7 or S6 to fit in properly. Now I'm happy... hope this helps anyone.

Hello my fellow Aussies,
This thread is an open discussion from the day you've ordered your Note 7!
Feel free to share ideas like roms, tips, accessories, past & current experiences etc.
Having created a thread like this for my Galaxy S6 it was a great place for information, ecspecially for software/carrier updates.
I'll start off by saying that I'm very excited to owning my first Galaxy Note. Reason for changing to the Note is the awesome design, bigger screen & battery life, which was terrible on the S6. I've pre-ordered it in black, because once you go black your gonna need a wheel chair (White Chick's movie joke) ??
And also ordered the Spigen neo hybrid crystal clear case.
Hi, great idea!
All threads i read are US based....mainly.
I have ordered my Black note 7 direct through Samsung online, so at the moment due to arrive 19th. I wish it would ship early....but highly doubt it.
I have also ordered genuine Samsung screen protector and a clear case. Not sure if i will like the case, had one on my Note 5, and didn't like the feel in hand.
Has anyone seen an OUTRIGHT pre-order deal that has the gear fit 2?

No. Only deals I've seen available to AUS have the 256GB Micro SD card. I was personally hoping for a Gear VR deal
Anyone going to get the Dubai dual sim model?

Super keen for my galaxy note 7 to arrive. preordered from telstra i opted for the silver model personally i prefer it over the black!. Keen to see what devs come over to the Note 7
Pre-Ordered from Harvey Norman to get the micro-SD card, can't wait, (also ordered covers and tempered glass from Amazon)

I was in two minds about colour. My Note 5 I got in Silver, for something diffferent. I like i, but i dont like how prominest marks are, i have a clear film cover on the back and any scratches/marks show up a lot. This time i have opted for the Black on the Note 7
just pre-ordered mine from Telstra with the SD card, I decided to get the black one. It is a thing of beauty.
Sadly still need to wait 9 more days
Fingers are crossed for early shipping!!
I eagerly awaiting June 19th.
I pre-ordered a black one on Sunday and they that I would get a case and screen protector besides 256GB SD-Card.
I also got a SGP Neo Hybrid Gunmetal case 5 days ago.

Sweet thanks man ?
I initially ordered one from buymobile then read some reviews on them and went into panic mode and cancelled the order. It was $200 cheaper than Samsung and Hardley Normal but no MicroSD deal so I cancelled it pretty much straight away. I want warranty with this phone and I think with the outright buy price it's worth having warranty although I never needed it with my international Note 4 I got through yatango. Never needed it on any handsets, touch wood.
I then went to the Samsung site and black onyx was sold out so I ordered one from Harvey Norman. 8 or 9 days left but not counting. Much. lol
Have ordered a UAG cover in black for the 7. I've had them on my last two Samsungs and they are brilliant cases, a little bulky but saved me a few times with a few drops, pretty good asset if you ask me.''Really interested in what model of handset we will get, starting to think it's the end of ROMs for me but you never know and that's why I'm still here.
I have to admit that I was extremely disappointed that Samsung Australia opted not to bring the Coral Blue color and for me this was a deal breaker, after waiting so long to replace my Note Edge and eagerly reading every single leak from eveleaks and onleaks and looking at the beautiful blue color that was rendered by eveleaks and was voted as the most popular color in a poll that was done by Ausdroid and they decide not to bring it....for once you could choose a different color than the usual boring silver/black/atrocious gold and they opted not to bring it grrrrrr!!!! damn you Samsung Australia!!!! I was ready to forgive for not having 6gb of RAM and 4000mAh battery as was leaked heavily months before the launch but not to bring the blue color was the deal breaker, you've stuffed it up S.A!!!
4000 megahertz battery huh? That's a pretty high frequency.

Wow, Black sold out on the AUS Samsung site? Glad i got in early there.
Same as you, on my internations Note 5 that i got online, they did have a warranty, but never had to use it. I looked at buying the note 7 from the same international supplier, but it was only $200 cheaper and i though to myself if anything does go wrong, i can go straight back to Samsung without any huge issues.
Do we know if the 930G is the Australian specific model?
