Hi All,
After receiving two bad units from Amazon; I've now purchased one from Google themselves and It has been dispatched today.
I'm extremely worried that I will receive a bad one given the Serial number indicates it was manufactured the following week after the bad two I got from Amazon.
Does anyone have one with HT4C9JT01695? which is Dec 9th 2014.
It's a Indigo Black, 32GB If that matters.
I know I can ask for a replacement but If I just get the same stock from them It's most likely going to be the same.
Regards,
J93.

The Two I received from Amazon had Lightbleed and one even had the corner coming away from the side.

With all the issues, bad press, RMAs, etc. maybe it's been temporarily pulled by retailers to reassess their return policy for the Prime?
Is there any evidence that the [newer?] Champagne models perform better than the [older?] Grays?
Not many people have the Champagne Models. They are very hard to find it appears. So I dont know of very many impressions of it.

How is that weird? They are the same terms they have up for all tablets.

I have the 32gb Champagne. I haven't done exhaustive tests. GPS is weaker than my Atrix, but it will lock outside. Wifi seems similar to my phone's. ICS and firmware updates seemed to help.
Local store availability numbers are not that accurate.
Just spoke to my corporate rep and he said online they are sold out. He said their quantity on hand is -3 right now. Just FYI.

I too live in Texas, have an Atrix, and was lucky enough to find a Champagne 32gb. Hmmm...
For what its worth. I also have the Champagne 32GB version . GPS performs poorly (wont lock on indoors, does ok outside) but that seems consistent with what I've seen reported from people with the gray version. WIFI is adequate, not quite as good as my Galaxy Nexus but not bad either.
The only real issue I have is with the stock browser. It freezes quite often. However, I doubt this issue is related to the version I have. probably a software issue or app conflict.
Edit: I got mine end of December from amazon.
I would be careful ordering from them, I ordered one the last time they had some in stock and as soon as they charged my account it was magically on back order and to make matters worse they charged me twice for one TP.

Champagne is being released on the 24th... That seems to be why they are so limited right now right? I just pre ordered my champagne from gamestop in hopes that since they arent released that they will be fixed for issues.

This isn't true, a local electronic retailer (which some people on XDA know of) ABT has had a stock of champagne in stock. I was at their store last week and played with it.
Ironically enough, ICS locked up and rebooted while browsing the web lol.
Had two champagne 32gb, both had problems. IMO, doesn't matter with what color you get.
cancelled my gray 32gb microcenter order for this as it hadn't shipped out yet. Got overnight shipping on this and i confirmed 2 minutes ago on the phone that it's shipping out tonight. I can post on here again tomorrow night after I get it if you guys want.
It's on preorder now but when I saw that I had to call to confirm. Hopefully I don't have any issues or double charges on my credit card as a result!
SUPER PSYCHED!
Scratch that juat cancelled the order at gamestop. Seems like they wanted me to fax my personal bank information to them to verify something....hmm not going for that not to sure what there plan was...instead i think i will wait to get it. Too many issues for the amount of money. Think that may be best anyone?

I actually ordered earlier today and called to confirm that they do have it and will be shipping it today! The rep I spoke with talked about the nightmare that is the Prime and how this has been going on non-stop.
It just came back as In-Stock, so I would grab one if you haven't yet!
SON OF A *****!!!! I just want my 64 GB Amazon pre-order from 11/22!!!
Only post here if...
You have received via pre-order or from a retail outlet a Full Retail Pebble Blue Unit.
I think we need to ascertain if there are any at all.
I have emailed CPW to try and get info on my pre order (pebble blue) as I haven't heard anything from them and got an automated reply saying that they would be in touch within 4 days Whats that all about?
Hey guys just read this. Bad news

As I mentioned on another post I actually called CPW this morning and they confirmed my Blue one was ok for delivery tomorrow morning.
I then saw the announcement on their website and there is now after talking to them ZERO chance of seeing it for many weeks.
Really unimpressed with them.
it seems the white one is available may have to go for that.

If you pre-ordered I doubt you will be able to get a white one, I went into the Vodafone shop today to ask the same thing, and they said the only way they could do it is if I set up a whole new contract for a white one then refused the delivery of my blue one.

You are lucky then, Vodafone wouldn't budge at all for me, so I have no choice but to wait. It's annoying as my sister is waiting for my old phone as well, so she is going to nag and moan to me every day until it arrives and then I am going to have to book another day off work short notice to collect it.
handtec gave me the option for a white one as well, that will ship today hopefully
Damn, I just started a thread about this.
I changed to white with the CPW today. My current contract terminates on the 6th, so can't wait to get my new contract. Plus I'm an impatient child.
The guy at CPW did say that the few blue units they received seemed fine and is not sure what the defect is.
He was surprised when I said I heard about it as a rumour some weeks ago through XDA. He didn't know what XDA was and insisted they only found out there COULD be a problem earlier this week.
My argument was that he indicated they lacked supplies of the blue model, so wouldn't have been able to deliver on their promise anyway and asked if they where never going to have enough blue models then why, even up to yesterday, they told me its all good?
No comment from the guy other than, your change to the white model has been processed and SHOULD be with you by Thursday.

Anyone?
Not impressed that it's gone from being told on the phone that I'd have it today to it now showing as "Awaiting stock". If I'd known they were going to mess around like this I could have had one from any number of places by now.
Unlucky. Most things I order are delayed from them so I tend to get mine from elsewhere nowadays .
I do know that the blue ones have been delayed somewhat though .(not just for play) but it should arrive in the next week or so...

Ordered blue from play, but obviously not shipped, same as everyone else.
I'll keep my order with play as they have the best deal, free case and screen protector.
Yes many times, they offer a good service.
I'm guessing you got the blue? (by "got" I mean pre-ordered) nobody is getting the blue yet, or at least a lot of people aren't. Samsung had to make 600,000 recalls due to a faulty back cover.
No, I'd ordered the white.
In the end I've given up and cancelled the order. Ordered one from CPW instead. I collect it from the shop after lunch today.
Just had another look on the Play.com website and they are now saying
Please note: We've been made aware of a delay from Samsung of the Marble White Galaxy SIII. We're expecting additional stock to arrive on 1st week in June. All Play.com pre-orders will be fulfilled on a first-come, first-served basis

Play.com delivering S3 via DPD
I got an email from saying S3 would be delivered on the 6th and a tracking link for DPD site. They also said in the email that I would also be able to see the delivery hour on the tracking site.
There was no tracking events this morning on the site and no 'Delivery Hour'
I rang play.com and they said they don't know why I was told it would be delivered today because of the 'bank holiday'.
They now say it will be delivered tomorrow, so I will have to arrange for someone to be in again tomorrow, and we all know how irritating that is.
I expressed my irritation to the play.com operative and told them to raise it with team leader.
S3 originally ordered 4th May and subsequently changed from Blue to White when delays were apparent.
Hi there...
Has anyone had luck enabling the hidden menu for the One? I have been through several of the old ways of doing this on other phones with no luck. Please advise if you've found a way to do so. I just got a replacement phone and am trying to see if its a refurb or if I actually got a new replacement like I was told. Thanks
Option 1 - Dial ##RTN# - No luck
Option 2 - create a shortcut through custom launcher: Shortcut>Activities>com.android.hiddenmenus - There doestn seem to be a com.android.hiddenmenu file here.
Thoughts??
Those menus were probably removed due to the carrier's request.
That said, you can tell when it was manufactured by looking at the serial number, see here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=642459
HTC does not reassign serial numbers if a phone is refurbished, so if it is pretty close to the date you received it it's probably a new unit. Plus I doubt this phone has been around long enough for there to be refurbished ones.

It was a refurb. Date was 4/13/13. I thought the same thing, but they are out there! I talked to TMo and they're sending me a new brand new one since I was within the 20 day window.
branshaw, how did you find out? Mine had a minor ding on the bezel but I didn't notice until I left the store and I just don't want to pay the restocking fee.
I checked the link but doesn't tell me anything. Something else, I don't have the box with me but I'm pretty sure the manufacturing date was 4/13/13 as well.
So, how did you find out it was a return?
Thanks!

I figured it out really based on the way I received it. I received it in a generic box that only included the phone in a clear sleeve. If it was new it would have been in retail packaging. If you received it in retail packaging then it's new, you just got one with some damage.

Ah, thanks. Mine was on a new box, so I guess it is new. No problems with the minor scratch really, so all is good. Manufactured 4/14.
Cheers,

That's not exactly true - I got a replacement Sensation that came in that sort of packaging and was made in the same month I received it, so it could go either way. But if you get one in the original packaging then it's almost certainly new.

Don't buy from fgs trading. Ordered black 6503 in late june and ended up with a week 18 with minor gaps on the top right and bottom left of screen. I'm disappointed.
