It's been an awkward week for the S4. Most people are satisfied but the locked bootloader seems to have twisted some people. I would still go to the store early just in-case cause once the bootloader is unlocked, expect this phone to really begin selling
I just called my local store. They still have them in stock. It is now 11:34.

No lines at my store..I was the second person in and the first and only one (while I was there) to grab a S4. 3-4 people came in to pay their bills and one person came in because her Note 2 screen would not come on and/or function properly.
Did any of yalls stores have any information about the 32gb version?

Yea a lot of people are probably holding off until the bootloader is unlocked but 6 people right out of the gate is not bad, your area will probably be out by tomorrow
Im at Costco right now. System wide ATT activation outage in red bold font on their screens. They called ATT sales, but they said they cant do activations over the phone either. I already paid for the phone, but its sitting at the wireless booth until ATT goes live again. Costcos food court pizza use to be better btw

I got mine on Westnedge yesterday. millions will be sold... but the hype will never reach iphone levels... not that it doesnt deserve it. But Apple just handles its releases better, with all the weird delays and changes in carrier releases, the west main store said they didnt have it and that westnedge shouldnt have sold it to me yesterday.
closest store to where I live is just an authorized retailer. they only had 4 in stock and opened at 10am. pulled up at 940, there were 3 ppl outside waiting for the 4. luckiest day ever, I would've had to drive 40mins to get one otherwise. like 10-12ppl showed up while I was getting my purchase all done, asking if they had any in stock. poor guy in front of me though, had to pay cash cuz he had to pay a deposit.... transaction almost done, and then the girl behind the counter says that she can't hold it for him while he runs to the ATM. I felt bad, if I'd had ANY cash on me, I would've given it to him so he could get it, but I didn't.

I doubt most people even know or care about the bootloader.
You have to remember, we are the 1% who keep track of this stuff. Most people change the wallpaper and maybe add a few widgets..

INFUSE no longer carried by ATT - shortest duration on record. IMHO still the best phone in active use (after 4000 mah battery upgrade, 2.3 upgrade etc)
Wow I hope this isn't true
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA App
I don't see why they would just drop a phone. How about a link for proof...
Umm....
I was at the store today and it was still being sold, and their website still sells the Infuse.
As long as the Captivate is sold, the Infuse will be sold for sure.
http://www.wireless.att.com/cell-ph...vice=Samsung+Infuse+(TM)+4G*&q_sku=sku5190290
It is still for sale right now.
I don't know what makes you think they stopped carrying it. There is another thread that provides evidence that the Infuse is their best selling android phone.

i was like dam not even then HTC Status.

( i work part time at a att store and we have not seen anything on this)
When I went in yesterday my local store no longer had the Infuse. No display so I asked and he said they didn't have any and didn't believe they were getting any more.
With a ton of newer phones coming out it wouldn't surprise me if they took down the display.
They're just making room for the new phones. They will probably put a gutted shell on the wall of shame ($99 and under). It is sad that I'm already looking to upgrade to the Skyrocket less than 6 months after buying the Infuse, but it's become painfully obvious that AT&T blew their load on the Infuse's face and didn't call the next day. It's already outdated and they are in no longer rushing to get GB out. Which also means ICS will never happen. The Skyrocket will drop from $249 to $149 in a month or two. Woo hoo...afternoon delight!
It's history, removed from shelves throughout SE and other heavy markets. Excess stock went to distribution. As soon as refurbished stock is exhausted website avail will follow. If you want proof, wait a few days and call your contact at your fav att store.
Look, we've still got the best phone produced. It had to be pushed aside eventually - Samsung alone will introduce about 10 new phones before eoy

Maybe two different players. Samsung is developing roms and in the meantime att decides to stop carrying. Purely speculation. I don't think they have a captivate on our store shelves but I think it is still online as well?
What people don't get is these could be authorized retailers. They're just stores that have permission to sell phones under the Att logo. If it doesn't sell well for them, goodbye. I worked at one for months.

I would guess a lot of people (on XDA, especially) understand the difference between a corporate store and an authorized retailer, but I tend to give people the benefit of the doubt.

That could be true. However, att stores will not replenish stock, and when the refurbs are gone from the att web store that's it.

CovXX, dont worry...its not just you. I came from a Gnex then got upgraded for free to this phone. I had to get 23 replacements in less than 2 months. More than half didn't even turn on out of the box. After the 4th replacement, I opened the phone at a Verizon store itself so that they knew I wasn't lying. After that many, I tried a different store, and they offered to give me a GS3 for no cost and no contract extension. Awesome right? In my experience the replacements are pure crap. I think they just get other people's phones, and send them right back out again. One even had someones contacts on them...its a bit maddening.

If you had battery issues for all 8 replacments, I have a feeling its yoyr battery not the phone. Try going to the verizon store ask for a new battery.

Really? Because I swear you were claiming reception issues in the thread when everyone was trying for Note 2s.
OP, it took me two replacements before I was offered alternate replacements. If that's what you want, just ask for it. The antenna in the sg3 is sub optimal in certain circumstances, it's more than likely not something you can fix with a replacement sg3.
I went through 4 gnexii before I demanded a different phone and got the s3. Used that for an hour before the screen backlight basically died and refused to come on. 2nd s3 seems to be doing good so far.

I'm on my 4th replacement for my s3. I was told and noted in my account that one of the tech2 supervisor that I was approved for a Razr Maxx HD. So, all I was waiting for was my replacements to get back to Verizon. Called back up about week later, one of them came in. The customer service rep then transfered me to tier 2 tech. Then, it all just went downhill from there. He is saying, that his supervisor can't approve me for my razr Maxx HD which I was already approved for by someone else. I called back the next day and it's the same thing. So, I just gave up. The only issue I am having with my s3 is the wifi. If my s3 is connected to my wifi it will sometimes take down my whole wifi network. And what's also strange is that whenever the phone is idle and I go to pick up the phone and use the Internet on my wifi while it's connected. It takes the phone 30secs-1min for me to connect to the Internet. It's not my router cause I never had any issues with any of my other phones that I previously had.
All I can say is good luck on them trying to get you to switch to another phone. They wanted to offer me a gnex or Rezound as a replacement for this s3. Like Verizon wanted me to downgrade my phone. Screw them.

I just wanted to post this for all of you considering getting a new phone on AT&T, such as the One, S4, Blackberry, etc. According to what I have read, it looks like AT&T is starting a promotion tomorrow that will give an instant $100 or more credit toward a new phone of your choice when you trade in your old working smart phone, ( 3 years old or less). This may help in the decision making process for many people.

I'm starting to hate AT&T even more. I recently tried to get an early upgrade (60 days away) & was turned down over the phone. It really pissed me off since I've been a long time customer in good standing. Pissed me off so much, I've been considering going to TMO & now they do this to me. Hopefully this last for more than 30 days since they won't budge unless im within 30 days or less.
Can you trade in a rooted and unlocked phone that has been flashed?
I want the S4 pretty badly and I want to trade in my 1 year old HTC One X but I unlocked, rooted and flashed this thing.

You can probably sell the phone for way more on eBay or some other places. It's not worth giving it to att.

(Phone.1)
ok so i got my NEW galaxy s4 about a week a go. just had it for one day and all the words on the screen went pink. so i went back to O2 and they give me a new one.
(Phone.2)
got the new galaxy s4 home and powered it up to see the screen going mad as hell. was flashing like mad and and lots of mad sounds coming from it. so back to O2 i went.
(Phone.3)
the man in the shop said he will open and test this one before i get it so they know it works. i said yer ok go for it. so he opened the phone and went to stick the battery in. on doing so he got an electric shock off the phone. he said well that's not right and went to get a new one.
(Phone.4)
he comes back with the new phone and starts to set it up. after about 10 mins the phone shuts off never to come back on? so now we are on
(phone.5)
everything looked ok on this one till he went to test to play back of some mp3s on my SAMSUNG class 10 64gb micro sd card. but the phone said that the card was broking and the phone would not reed it at all. he tested the card in a new Nokia and it work fine. so he opened a new micro sd card from in the shop and it said the same thing(card broke). but card works on all other phones in the shop just not in any galaxy s4.
(Phone.6)
so next phone come out. this one will not reed a 64gb card as well and if you play anything on the headphones you get lots of mad pops and cracks come out the headphone. he said well that's not right what will you like me to do now??? i said what can we do now? so he gos into the back of the shop for 5 min than come out and say we will send it away to get fixed. GET FIXED ITS JUST 3 MINS OLD!! we will send it back to SAMSUNG it will take about a week. i said ok but can we try one more please as i need my phone for work and if that don't work send them all back. he said ok last one.
(Phone.7) this phone looked to be working ok woohoo at last one that work... spoke to soon i did.... every time we went to use the camera the phone just shuts off and reboots. he then said sorry mate but we have used evey s4 in the shop and dont have any more to test the best i can do now is send them away.
whats going on SAMSUNG....... 7 galaxy s4 in under 3 days. i don't think i will be getting one now after all of this... looks like il have to go back to my IPHONE 4 what is 2 year old and has never let me down yet. just need to see what i get back in the post now. but even if this one works its going back as im sick of the dame thing.

it was the manager of the o2 shop that tested all the phones. i dont want a HTC phone. all the o2 shops next to me have had to send all of the s4 back to samsung. it was the GT-19505 16gb ones but two of them said they were gt-19505X dont know what the (x) was for tho?
Personally if this happened to me I would not even bother with the s4 I would get another phone like the HTC one, note 2, or LG Optimus G Pro.

The problem sounds like the store you went to. I could easily write the same story with the 3 iphone 4s my sister went through but we just went to a different store.
Out of one box of inventory, you probably got one that was shipped stupidly under extreme conditions and kept pulling bad batches from the same box.
Other than that, your story sounds like BS. I stopped reading after phone 3, an electric shock? Really? Yeah right. 2 posts? Uhuh... you're not even in the right section to complain about your carrier.
But if it is true, try a completely different store.

Ah, you can always expect the apologist brigade rushing in to defend their noble brand's honor.
But anyway, it sounds like this shop's shipment of S4s got zapped or something in transit.
Unless a real bad batch, you must have some magnetic aura flux that kills devices, else statistically unlikely. You could be banned from flying in planes due to a magnetic aura flux. Left hand or right hand rule? That will only be got by physics or electronic oriented folks

Maybe it did, though, and a chorus of lame "pics or gtfo" comments adds nothing in either case.
yeah probably a bad shipment. 99.9% of people won't ever go through something like that
Pointless thread is pointless
I am so pissed. Long story short. I ordered the s6 through Verizon, got the phone and it was great until the 10th day. I started having issues. So I told them and they said they'd send me out another. I told then I absolutely do not want a refurbished phone and they guaranteed me it would be a brand new one. Wtf do i get the next day? A refurbished piece of crap that had scratches all over when 3 different reps assured me they'd be sending me a new one. I called them back pissed.
So after hours of talking on the phone I get them to send me a brand new one that would come in the white box. They told me it would arrive on may 29th(which was 10 days away) because they were all on backorder waiting for the shipment from Samsung. So I've literally been calling every few days asking them what the update is and every time a diff rep just tells me that the order is placed and everything but it's still on backorder. This has happened 3+ times now.
It's been 3 weeks now and I just called again and told them this is it I've had enough and the guy tells me for some reason the order never processed because of some terms and conditions crap so he said he has to figure it out with his supervisor. I can't believe this seriously. Are the people at Verizon the dumbest individuals in the world or am I being toyed with here?

I tried that but all of the Verizon stores in my area were totally out of stock of the black s6 and they said they'd charge me to switch colors.

May I ask what the issues were?

Multiple issues. I experienced, Bluetooth issues, got a few scratches on the phone and occasional messed up audio when on the phone. I got them to send me a new one. Should be here Thursday. Found out he order never went through cuz the stupid supervisor didn't approve the order.

Chadly, glad to hear your issue has an end in sight, I cannot help but wonder - did you receive an order confirmation for the new GS6 from VZW?
Yeah, they sent me a new s6 and this one is perfect except for a super loose home button that rattles. Such bs. I'm waiting for them to call me back and tell me what we do now.

I haven't been impressed with Verizon customer service, either. The first phone I got was never activated, and when I called to get it activated, the rep just redid my order and sent me another phone lol. I had to reject the 2nd phone, and I finally spoke to someone that knew what they were talking about.
It seems as though 1 out of every 3 reps know their stuff, the rest have no clue.
I'm still waiting for my $100 port in credit, and I know it won't be on my 3rd billing cycle, so I'll have to call them again :/
Never even talked to a rep. did everything online. Ordered phone on Friday, arrived Sat, activated without doing much other than turning the phone on (SIM card was already installed). I didn't port my number until I checked out the phone and ported the number on Monday morning, took about 20 min and about 1/2 hour after that to get the SMS texting working right.
No communication with a rep at anytime.
Sat night when I realized I already had the latest build (was waiting for an OTA), I rooted the device with PingPongroot. Had to do it twice but it stuck and was very easy. never connected the phone to the computer (yet).

This is literally the only way to do it. Companies like VZ and Comcast intentionally provide sucky service so that you just give up because who wants to spend hours on the phone explaining your problem to people who are intentionally making it harder for you?
Well, they said they said they wouldn't send me out another new device. She said it would have to be a refurbished one this time so now I have to choose between one of these s6's or sell one of them and wait for something better to come along.

It looks like they delayed you just to be outside of the 14 day window. Anything outside that 14 day return policy can be replaced with a certified like new device. Is the home button that bad that you couldn't see living with it? Would a stiff home button eventually became loose also?

I exchanged one due to a very loose home button. It didn't register presses half the time and rattled bad. They are out there, the lemon s6s. They are far between but they do exist sadly

Yeah, pretty lame. I'm keeping the new gold one because the screen is much better. The home button doesn't rattle as much now. It's barely noticeable so I'm okay with it.

I will never get another phone phone Verizon, you can get the same phones from Best buy with no penalty for returns.
