way to screw the early adopters LG that made this phone a success.
I'm tempted to Photoshop my receipt because they clearly don't care about us people who purchased earlier.
Something is wrong with the website anyway - I tried to submit and it goes to an error.

Same here. Bought 2 Verizon LG G3 for me and my wife and a AT&T LG G3 to send to China manufacturer to try and make PMA chips. So I would be able to get 3. Lol.
I did a little magic and submitted mine. Guess I'll find out how stringent they are in checking before sending the items out.
sucks no love in canada. And no love for early adoptors who paid full pop for the phone..... Since it launched at 179 it has dropped to 79$ on contract. So now those that waited get lower price and free battery and charger... that sucks
I got a free circle case from LG.ca at least....
It's obviously in response to the iPhone announcement today. Don't get so off-put by most likely very necessary marketing.
Hi everyone. I thought I would share what happened to me regarding this offer. I purchased the LG G3 on 9/4/2014 and so I called them and told them to give me the free battery and cradle or I would return my phone as it was not fair. They took down my info and a day later they called me and told me that since they have been getting a lot of calls they were extending it to customers who purchased it prior to the promotion. Give it a shot.

Anyone else call and can confirm the same?
If they received a lot of complaints, you would think that they would change the terms and conditions. "prior to the promotion" is pretty vague. Is it a week before the promotion started, since launch?
I have a hard time believing this, I'm also interested if anyone else can confirm....

I really can't tell you why people feel the need to lie on the internet, but it's pretty common.
Thanks for posting that, I just called their customer service and it was like talking to a computer. The CSR couldn't comprehend what I was asking, so I'll try an email. I'm still within 30 days of my purchase so maybe I'll be in luck.

EDIT
Most everyone who pre-ordered has received a tracking number and a
"Scheduled For Early Delivery On:
Thursday, 05/24/2012"
So please don't re-post that information.
Feel free to continue discussion on other shipping/tracking/delivery related topics.
THANKS!
old...
Everyone who has placed a Evo 4G LTE Pre-order is expecting shipment information ANY MOMENT NOW.
Sprint (who I placed my order with about 2 minutes after pre-orders opened) should be sending notification emails out to us as soon as out phones ship, but I consider that unlikely to happen in a timely fashion.
Please use this thread to post when you receive your shipping confirmation/tracking number so that the rest of us can start refreshing our respective order status pages furiously.
The currently accepted Sprint methods of checking for tracking numbers are:
1. Wait @ your email inbox for a confirmation email
2. Visit www.sprint.com/myorder and type in your order number
It is important to note here that the order number found on your sprint.com order history (starts with DM...) will give you bogus info here. You need to find the preorder confirmation email that has an order number starting with "OY"
3. Gordon Ramsay's method here
Note: Some people have reported inconsistent information from this method and it may not be 100% accurate. Still, please report any interesting results if you try it.
If you'd like me to add anything to the OP about other pre-order suppliers, post "@addisonhammer"
Good Luck, and PLEASE REPORT ANY SHIPMENTS!
Note: Please keep idle chatter to a minimum, I'd like to avoid the banhammer here. The point is to crowd-source Evo Shipment info so I can actually work today instead of just wearing out my F5 key. I can't do that if people post on here bi7chin' and moanin' or talking about the SG3 or iPhone. So don't.

Should I view the lack of posts in this thread to mean that nothing was shipped out last night to pre-order customers?
Personally I'm unable to track by reference and the various traps I've placed (UPS/MyChoice, Sprint order status, etc) have yet to trip for me - but I was hopeful that at least some had shipped overnight.

Yes, but it is still pretty early. Considering the sheer volume of posts on the original "Preorder/Customs" thread late into the night (before being closed...) i would expect that volume on XDA wont pick up until later this morning.
I tried the methods and didnt find info about my tracking numbers, but as several others have posted, many times items are shipped and delivered before tracking numbers are posted.
I will continue to read the threads today and hope to have a package when I get home from work tonight. If not, hopefully it will ship tonight and get it tomorrow.
Anyone that has been using UPS MyChoice for a while. You ever have it not tell you a package was on the way and have it show up? Just curious.

Best Buy is open this time? Are they shipping to stores or shipping to you?
UPS process verified?
*EDIT: I withdraw my questioning of this process. Even though there were 2 reference numbers created, I can limit the date to a smaller window, and my tracking information is now available.
hey guys,
i've been keeping up with this whole debacle since i placed my pre-order on may 7.
has anyone actually verified this suggested tracking number retrieval process that everyone is clinging to for hope? at least for me, i'm 99% sure it's not the information i'm trying to find. whenever i follow this process, the UPS system says that my delivery was completed 5/17/12 at 1:05pm in North Carolina.
i live in Oklahoma... additionally, Sprint still lists my order as in progress, not completed.
there haven't been many others that i've seen have much or any luck with this either. most people can't even get it to find their elusive shipment information in the UPS system.
just wanted to throw this info out there for anyone receiving strange results while using the suggested method.
Sounds like it was just a coincidence that another shipment used a reference number that matched your Sprint account number.
I'm not saying one way or another if the Sprint account number is used by UPS as a reference number, just saying that with the massive amount of shipments in their system, it isn't unlikely for their to be a few coincidental matches.

To the stores, maybe, but to customers, I wouldn't assume that...because that would result in an awful lot of Sprint pre-orderers that would be mad as hell...and I don't think Sprint would be foolish enough to allow that.

I have actually suspected this method myself... but I recently completed an order for a new iPhone for my wife (i know... yuck) and that order shows up when i do the UPS "Search by Reference" method.
Interestingly, if i look at the order information page, it shows the iPhone order as "Pending" and has no tracking number. Hmmm....

Congrats on getting a Note 2 man! Hopefully we'll still see you around every once in a while.
Mind if I asked where/how you got it?
My upgrade isn't available for a while, and I'm not sure adding a line and then paying the extra 10 bucks a month for it to get the subsidized fee is worth it. What's the most economical way? Is ATT selling it off contract for $599 like they do with most if their phones?
Hey james...Actually me and my wife signed up for AT&T in March 2012...I've had a few problems with my phone...But I called 611 and got through a sales rep...I asked politely since am having some phone issues if could receive a early upgrade...He asked his supervisor and whalaa..The phone is 299.I received the upgrade for my line but not my wifes....(she has a s2) And that was it...I had to use a credit card to put the phone on a hold until it ships then they charge the credit card...Its worth a shot if you had it...the worst they can say is no..But if so..Sell your current device in CL for 300 or 350 and use that for your upgrade..so your not using anything....Try it ..Can't hurt :thumbup:

I'm in the same situation with my RF and SD issues. I'll give it a shot asap.
what kind of sd card do you have?..I just realized mine is a 16gb class 2 sd card...That's a very slow read/write speed ..
There was a sd card fix somewhere I would try First though before deleting anything I'll look for it .
Here is some info on classes of micro sd cards and there read/write speeds I found this...Am getting a faster one for the note2....
http://samsunggeeks.com/2012/05/20/micro-sd-cards-smartphones-speed-class-explained/
I was also having trouble with my Note and finally after speaking to a supervisor, he said I could get any other phone for the upgrade price (except the iphone). I told him I wanted the Note 2. He told me the system would not let him order that since it had not come out yet. This was last Friday. I told him I would wait then. He said he was putting the offer in my case notes. So I plan to call back this Friday and hopefully get the Note 2.

This is a rather long narrative, but it illustrates the inconsistency of dealing with AT&T. I know we have all have read posts in these forums and thought to ourselves that they must be lying, because I tried the same thing, but I did not get that result. So anyway I called this morning to get my upgrade and was told I must have misunderstood, because I had owned my phone for only 8 months and it is impossible to get an upgrade. I said there were supposed to be notes on this, and they said there were, but it was unclear whether it was a standard upgrade or just an early upgrade, and that they were not able to contact the supervisor who I spoke to. They said they still wanted to help and the fourth person I spoke to came up with this elaborate plan. I would add a dummy line for $10 a month and they could have my new phone added to this number. They would give me $150 credit and also credit 6 months of email ($90) so the $10 for the 24 months of my commitment would be a wash. I told him that I did not want any of my plan to change, since much of it is grandfathered rates. He said he could code it so it would stay the same. So right before he was to confirm, he said sorry, I would have to change to a family plan. I said no, and asked him why he could code in this complicated plan, but couldn't do some code for an upgrade. He said he couldn't and after a 2 hour phone conversation I was back at square one. So this afternoon I called back to find out what it would cost me to discontinue service and decided I would switch to another carrier and get a new Note 2. The guy asked me why I was canceling my service, I told him and he said he looked at my account and I have really been put through the wringer. He said he could help, and I said I have heard that line before. About ten minutes later he came back on the line said he had authorized an upgrade and for my inconvenience will deduct $50 from the price and charge me $249.99. He also said he will throw in free priority shipping and I will receive it Monday. After giving him my credit card number and thanking him he said wait, I see your last statement has just come out, to keep you as a valued customer, we will pay that also, I am marking that as paid right now. You could have knocked me over with a feather. As I was typing this, I received my email confirmation that it has already shipped. What a crazy deal.
http://www.phonearena.com/news/HTC-...vember-13-stay-tuned-for-our-coverage_id36513
HTC DROID DNA for Verizon lands on November 13, stay tuned for our coverage
November 20 is quoted as a potential launch date
Agreed, each year I become more and more frustrated with them. Planned on leaving and getting the Note 2 on another carrier but it's cheaper for me to stay with VZW
My contract ends March 2013 so I'm thinking of moving onto my friends T-Mobile line instead of adding a ghost line on my family's just to get the Note 2.
Effing ridiculous.
Dear Verizon,
Due to the poor PR on this phone, my poor fingers will have arthritis for scouring the internet for a simple little date. As an apology for your negligence, I will accept an apology in the form of a Fedex package on my office desk.
Hmm. Maybe I'll buy this, just to pass the time waiting for the Note2. Then, return it once it comes out.
We have 14 days to return a phone, right?

$35 restocking fee.. to have a sweet phone to play with for ~14 days then get my even more sweet phone... I'm seriously tempted.
It makes sense though if this phone is indeed released on the 20th that they would not want the Note II in-stores on the 23rd as well. It would obviously take away from their DNA sales... but seems so BS to me that this could possibly be a major factor in why we are getting the phone so late, maybe the only factor.

Then save up for your new phone, IDK. Getting a phone just to play with it for a few days seems pointless, what happens if you drop it and break it? Scuff it beyond repair, etc... Just isn't worth it IMO.
Well guys, looks like the phone is up on VZW site for preorder 11/19 ship date.

12 hours has to be a joke. Lol that battery is super small.
Talked to a rep and obviously BS'd a bit.
Shawn M.: Hello. Thank you for visiting our chat service. May I help you with your order today?
You: Yeah, I wanted to order the note II
You: I just had a question about why is this phone being released so much later than the other carriers?
Shawn M.: Fantastic I am happy to help you.
You: Is it because of the DNA? I can't decide between the two
Shawn M.: No it is because they are selling out very quickly and they are on backorder.
Shawn M.: What do you like about them?
You: I like the stylus one one, but then again since I can get the DNA so much faster I might prefer that
You: But here is my question, so if the stock is filled before the 27th, can we expect the Note II before that date?
Shawn M.: It could happen yes but It will most likely not come before then.
You: A lot of people have said online that the 15th is a possibility, so i'm guessing those are just rumors? I myself was told by a VZW employee at a store near me that this was also true
Shawn M.: It can happen but i don't want to get your hopes up and then it not come early.

The battery is pretty bad, but what about 16GB storage with no SD card? That right there makes this phone a no for me. All of my apps/games alone cant fit on my Nexus 7 16GB version, and thats with no photos or movies. The screen is apparently one of the primary selling points for this phone. What good is it without the ability to have several HD movies and photos available on the device, in addition to all of your apps/games? I'd rather wait impatiently for Verizon to release the Note II.
Release isn't until the 21st, pre-order starts today.
Going to chat and see if I can get the DNA when it's released and play with it and return for Note 2. Restock isn't a problem. I just got a new job.
Quoting someone from AC because their assessment is correct.
"I dont see how people on a 2gb shared data plan can use this phone without upping their data plan. Which is exactly why Verizon ordered the phone without an microSD slot."
Lol, she didn't seem to enthusiastic.
Khyiera: Hello. Thank you for visiting our chat service. May I help you with your order today?
Austin: I was looking at adding a new line and getting the Note 2. I see the DNA is out before then. My question is, can I add a line, get the DNA, play with it and see if i like it and if i don't, return it for the Note 2 when it releases?
Austin: I know it will be within the 14 day return policy.
Khyiera: Yes you can.
Austin: My main problem was the battery. I see the DNA has a 2000mah battery and Note 2 has a 3100 mah battery and that's a big thing for me.
Austin: But, okay. Just wanted to make sure I could do that. I understand there is a restock fee, how much is it?
Khyiera: $35
Austin: Okay, I appreciate your help today.
Khyiera: No problem!

Instead of the DNA, I may switch to a different phone that's cheaper. $200, then $35 and another $100 is expensive.
My GNEX has terrible signal now a days and batter. Gonna have to look and see what's good to use for 2 weeks.
Not sure if this has been posted, or even if I can post something like this, but I am upgrade eligible and really wanted a EVO LTE because I liked how the white version looked and the SVDO is also really appealing. I was searching forever for a deal, and really didn't want to even pay $50 the other week at Best Buy and I missed the day where BestBuy.com was selling for free. I came across an old SlickDeals post -
http://slickdeals.net/f/5324082-Sprint-HTC-EVO-4G-LTE-49-99-for-Upgrade-or-New-Line
The post was for a 49.99 deal, but when I clicked on the link, the Sprint site (which is a private store for Valued Sprint Customers) had several select smartphones and the EVO LTE was only .99 and no activation fee or shipping. I was able to order the phone without any troubles and now I have an EVO LTE on its way to me for next to nothing! If anybody else wants to avail themselves of the offer, you can either follow the above link, or I will post brief directions taken from the post here also:
go to http://www.sprint.com/99centoffer
Click on Phones tab, then select the type
That should take you to this website:
http://shop2.sprint.com/NASApp/onli..._Phone_Char&id12=CustomAisleLanding_Promo_PDA
I imagine that at some point Sprint might close this off, but until then I may have to take advantage of it a couple of times for some other people I know with upgrades. Cheers.

i thought this was spam...but i did check it out and youre right. good find!
yea i got mines for that same price too! ..i saw on amazon for 20 bucks..new contract! n everything
Hey OP. Thanks for the post! Just bought my wife another little Christmas gift!
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
ya sprint has had some great deals ..just got one for the wife for free at best buy.. with contract renewal
I paid the $10 4g fee since the og evo. Never got 4g on two lines, so I complained and got a two line contract reset and 200 credit and an evo lte and galaxy s3 free. Try this over the phone with tech help after the third call and remember what you say. Sprint made my day, and it's wonderful having 4g all over chicago (not there yet officially) even in a warehouse basement from the 1910's. 5gb each day and never roaming or throttled, unlimited is the best. But i must say the evo lte is a way better phone, but the samsung has way better reception. Bye HTC loved my last 6 years with you, but back to samsung because i get signal. :crying:
if only I waited a bit longer. oh well. looks like i'll be getting my brothers two evos for their christmas gifts
I just bought the phone for my girlfriend with this link. thanks!!!!
Got mine my wife one for Christmas last week through bestbuy.com ...it was a 24-hour free Evo LTE with contract extension...since I got my evo in July I jumped all over it...gotta keep an eye out for all those deals.
Anyone received there's yet that was ordered this way? Curious. Actually JUST came back from the store after buying one to replace my broken one ($99 upgrade was cheaper than the $150 Asurion deductible), havent activated it yet but need to tonight, wonder if I could return it when this 99-cent one arrives.
Mine was delivered within 48 hours of ordering, but I was also within 30 mins of a UPS warehouse.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda app-developers app
Thanks, ordered mine yesterday and currently "awaiting processing at the warehouse".
I hope this is still going Jan 1st when my wife can upgrade. That would save me a lot of $.
$79 with upgrade/ 1¢ new line on Amazon. I'm still considering getting one.
Seems to be valid...

Can you order through this offer if you're on SEROP?
Well, despite having already done the upgrade at the store, activating and extending my contract I still placed an order for this that evening and it came today. Returned the Evo I just paid $150 for to the store, activated the one I paid 99 cents for when I got home without any problems. Of course, returning the one I bought in-store also undoes the contract extension associated with it, we'll see at what point the 99 cent one reinstates the extension. Definitely glad I saw this thread though, definitely saved me money!
Did any of you get this when selecting the phone:

A full month after the other carriers? Err....if that's true, then what the hell is going on at Verizon? I mean, beside them holding off that long just so they can take a branding iron to the phone.
The only thing keeping me from being pissed-off (with Verizon) is I'm holding out for the 32GB unit which doesn't appear to be available yet.
The current pre-orders with other carriers are all for the 16GB unit.

At least they didn't brand the home button. Next to the Galaxy Note 2 that's a very acceptable level of branding for Verizon.
The delay is probably because they're putting a big fat lock on the bootloader

I heard from one of my sources that the bootloader may actually be left unlocked on this device. Although the source it is coming from I am not sure if they know what a bootloader is exactly. I just asked the question and that's what I was told but not with 100% certainty here. Take as you will.
The reason is there might be a 50% chancee the Verizon Version will have the 800 snapdragon that's why they are going to have that huge presentation in may to let people now about how Verizons will be a true beast compared to the others. So I'm and since the 800 is new it will be very very limited that's why only Verizon will have it and no bootloader Samsung already said no..

Stop posting your nonsense in our forums. Go troll somewhere else.
Lol... Late to the party as usual. Useless Verizon. At least they didn't put the ugly home button with Verizon logo this time. I don't know how anyone can stand the ugly Verizon logos on the front of the device.
From a customer service standpoint, it makes perfect sense from verizon.
Working at at&t, I can tell you it's going to customer complaint galore over here. The phones are on back order at least four days before they even hit stores. This means that in stores like mine they're going to have frustrated customers because we will hardly receive any phones the first month while at&t struggles to keep up with the preorders and that those who preordered will be pissed having to wait a good bit after release to receive a phone that they were supposed to receive a few days after release at the latest.
my guess is that Verizon wants some more time to sell off the leftover s3's. either that or they want to wait to see if there are any major bugs to be patched.

I had 2 buggy verizon preorder s3's. 1 I still have to flash the ota's on because it says cannot connect to server and the other worked itself out(data wouldn't connect). I imagine that since they don't want all those silly warranty returns they are going to wait for the other carriers to launch and do a market study.

This is utter crap from verizon its just unacceptable for them to do thus to their customers. I'm seriously thinking about dumping them for T-Mobile. Not only will I save about 50-60$ a month but I can get my upgrades back, unlimited minutes, and gsm phones. Unlimited data only goes so far with verizon if they choke you everywhere else

I'm just dropping the $650 up front. 16GB+64GB is plenty.
Question is, can I just walk in on the 30th and buy one or are they going to be sold out? Wondering if I should pre-order to be safe.
Anyone know if you can still upgrade on another line and then activate phone on a line with unlimited data?

Absolutely. :good:
LOL, so glad I switched to Sprint. I refuse to wait another month! I couldn't even if I tried. My current phone is damaged & not worth making a claim, but still makes calls.
Crap, I just misread the date and thought it said April 30. Now I'm mad. There's no way to get an "unlocked" one elsewhere and get it going on their network? I don't care where I buy the thing if I'm paying full price anyway.
