Yeah, it got a bit of press on the blogs. Unfortunately, the rules are very clear that you had to purchase the phone within the promo period, not before.
Missed this by like two weeks. Kind of annoyed about it.

Well thanks, you helped me! I didn't know until I saw this, and I bought one today, so cheers:highfive:
just throwing it out there. i got my g3 on 8/26 and LG extended the offer to me. just state that you feel it to be unfair to not extend this offer to an LG supporter that decided to adopt the product earlier than the offer start date.
mine's already in the mail :good:

I bought mine on launch day and did the same thing, got on LG's site and did the chat and told them it sucked I supported LG from day one and wasn't eligible for the promotion. Rep asked for my address and wouldn't say why. Just gave me a and she said nothing else about it. Asked if there was anything else I needed help with and we ended the chat

Did you have to register through the promo?live chat won't hook me up....
Went through live chat...she asked for my email and I received a Congratulations, you are eligible. They send you a spreadsheet to fill out and asked to send in iemi and proof of purchase, with filled out spreadsheet.
I also live chatted and go the hookup. How did you send in your proof of purchase? I just took a picture of the box and attached it to the email along with the spread sheet
Yeah, took picture of the box and a pic of the AT&T receipt and sent it with spreadsheet.
Pretty awesome some of you are getting it. I might do the live chat thing too and see if its my birfday.
That's good info. I was thinking that they might do something for loyal supporters. Looks like I'll chatting with lg later on today!
No matter what, I can never stay away from android for long.
When you talk to them, really lay it on thick, i went the rout of saying I was a longtime samsung user and decided to switch to their product and i was very satisfied that I did. I also threw in "I'd really like to be a long time loyal LG user so i really hope I can get in on this promotion" I've had plenty of practice having to try and get my way with words (lookin at you AT&T)
I just spoke to a customer service rep who took all of my name, address and IEMI. She processed a request to the "Promo Department" due to them being closed on the weekend.
She told me to expect an email or call from them during normal working hours and to make sure I have my receipt with me in case they call. We'll see.

Well that was quick. I already received a response saying I was approved for the promo. As previously stated in other posts, they asked that I complete a spreadsheet and send a picture of the packaging label along with proof of purchase. The problem is they didn't attach the spreadsheet.
If anyone has the spreadsheet and can help, I'd appreciate it.
Send me a pm of your email address and I'll send it to you, for some reason i can't upload it as a reply

I have been waiting for a me batch to do a replacement, so I called today and asked for a new batch replacement. He told me that they were sold out but I could get a new unit, everything included like the battery and box for a replacement from the manufacturer. He put in the order and it was already shipped by ups with tracking numbers. Also I have two replacements coming, so this is exciting. The rep did say that yes there were problems with the current batch and that a new one was coming,i just got lucky because I specifically asked for a new batch. Hope this helps clear up some questions. I will update once I get them to see if they are better.

Did you call T-Mobile or LG? Reason why I'm asking is that it seems like my USB port is broke on the phone. I bought it at cellhub and T-Mobile won't exchange it. Can I call LG directly??

If you didn't purchase the phone from T-Mobile, they wouldn't exchange it. You'd need to contact cellhub or LG.
I'm not sure which one to go with anymore. A fixed G2x with no lcd bleed sounds pretty enticing, but then there's the Sensation with the possibility of root on day one.. and Kal-El is on the way this winter. Android just isn't slowing down, lol.
sensation having root on day one is possible but I wouldn't hold my breath if I were you
Highly doubt this! I'm not doubting that you were told this but doubting the fact you'll get a phone from a new batch. I spoke to MANY T-mobile employees over the phone when asking for a replacement and I even asked for a new one from a new batch and they told me that unfortunately I get whatever is in the warehouse and there was no way to ensure this or specify what I'd like...
I understand that what the rep told me might or might not be true. But it sounded like t-mobile put the order through lg. T-mobile them selves do not have any phones,i am aware of that, but the processing was fast and I already have a tracking number. I am hopeful but not foolish. I will let u guys know as soon as it comes what the date on it is. The rep said that it will be a new phone not a refurbished one. is there any other way of knowing how the device would be from a new batch?

Same here. One even told me there was no way to get a refurbished one since it hasn't been out that long. I told her that was a complete lie and that I know of other people who got re-ferbs. Seems like every time I get told a lie or someone tries to roll my loyalty plan into a new plan it is by a female. No I just hang up and keep calling back until I get someone who sounds like myself. It might sound racist but it's the god damn truth.

Seriously, I am really not trying to be a bigot, racist or sexist. I have encountered a couple females that knew what they were talking about and I didn't mean to lump all of the females in the same boat. What I really meant to say would come off racist but here goes anyway. As soon as I here a voice from a female that sounds like she's straight out of the ghetto I will hang up and call back. If the person sounds educated I will remain on the line and give them a chance.

Sorry, but you must not have looked very closely on their site. I went directly to lg.com, saw a link that said support (on the left), clicked on that, and saw a link for mobile phone support, clicked on that, and there are options for live chat, email or telephone support, all on the page. That took me about 5 seconds. Here is the link:
http://www.lg.com/us/mobile-phones/mobile-support/mobile-lg-mobile-phone-support.jsp
I thought I killed my G2x Tuesday and ordered a replacement. It was a refurb I guess (in a white box). It had really bad screen bleed so I just mailed it back.
I got my original one working anyway.

You are right. I got an RMA # from them now via chat. I have a own thread open for it now: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1096710
Only problem I'm facing now is that the phone is rooted and has ClockWorkMod installed. I can put the stock image back on and do a factory reset/format. But I will not be able to unroot or put stock recovery back on without USB. You think it's worth to send it in?

I'm sure they reflash them when the refurb them.
Update. Site is a scam and asks for wire transfer.
Just ordered the tf700 from there for my daughter. Price is insane low for the 64gb, just not sure how trust worthy they are.
Used my wifes cc and there worry part is this.... it did not ask for phone number. All the other info was regular info, address, email and bla bla bla
Not 5 minutes later she gets pop up on her phone for a chat invite from easy electronic store. i saw it on the screen as she read it and said WTF, not seconds later she lost the pop up. I dont know what it was or where it came from. I cant find anything on her phone to see where it came from
I guess well see if the tf700 comes. If it does ill be ordering another for my other daughter so im crossing my fingers
I was looking at the site easyelectronicstore.com
I dunno there my friend...if it were me I'd cancel that credit card charge immediately.

Considering that the two color options are "black" and "white" (two non existant colors on the tf700), I'd say it's probably not real..

Yeah I know what you're saying I've been trying to look for the same thing, they're apparently selling iPhone 5's for £300 - BARGAIN OF THE YEAR! If it's legit that is... Cheers mate hopefully this'll help!! Good luck!!! I look forward to the *hopefully* all clear (Y)
EDIT: Should point out - a good observation on the Black/White colour availability on ALL products across the website but I done some searching they've been up as a website for about 28 days - no reviews - so looks like we're the guinea pigs of this site so we'll find out soon enough.. I checked it through this: scamadviser.com/ - go to 'check webiste' and type in www[dot]easyelectronicstore[dot]com
SECOND EDIT: I know I keep editing but I'm realising more bits and pieces that may help put two and two together. From a programmers point of view; adapting on the above colour availability 'black and white' across the site.. the actual 'Availability' read's 'In stock' as a drop down box. This should not be the case as the customer cannot choose whether something is in stock or not but we should only be able to view this information. So either poorly designed web pages or scam. - I've been talking to a 'representative' and they're saying all the right things but I guess overall we'll just have to wait and see..
BTW, i found this thru the google shopper app on my phone. Otherwise i can not find any other info on this retailer

The site says locations in Virginia and the UK...
Still say it looks shady...
I just looked the site up a few minutes ago & I was concerned about the contact number, it's a cell/mobile phone number not a direct land-line,which would raise my suspicions, I sincerely do hope ALL goes well & your product reaches you though I am concerned....
P.s.why don't you give them a call on the phone number the site gives you?(I didn't include it in my post incase I done something wrong)
Do not order from this website
Easyelectronicstore.com is REMARKABLY a lot like superstoregadgets.com both websites have both US and UK addresses (although superstoregadgets.com didn't have a US address a month ago) I was really excited about the price at first too since it was so cheap but when I went through their checkout process just to see how much they would charge for shipping I received an email saying this:
"We thank you for your order# (New ASUS Transformer Pad Infinity TF700 64GB 10.1" Android Tablet), and we want to inform you that your order has been received and confirmed, packed and will soon be ready for shipment, but we are unable to process your credit card because of the issues we are presently facing with our credit card processor, due to large volume of order we are receiving at this promo period, and no COD anymore, to complete this order, we need to receive your payment before we can ship out your order, all payments are to be made via Online Money Transfer (Western Union or Money Gram)."
Funny thing was...I never even entered any payment information yet. So I did some searching and the UK address for superstoregadgets had been used by several other online stores in the past and people had ordered stuff from them and never received their products.
Easyelectronicstore.com doesn't even have any certifications. Just a picture of a "safe and secure" badge on the page that doesn't even link to any agency that would support any confirmation that the site is legit. Just like with superstoregadgets.com when you search for the address on google you get no other indication that the website has an online presence or notoriety.
I SERIOUSLY BELIEVE THAT EASYELECTRONICSTORE.COM IS A SCAM. IF YOU HAVE ORDERED FROM THEM I WOULD SUGGEST IMMEDIATELY TRYING TO GET YOUR MONEY BACK AND I WOULD SUGGEST INVESTIGATING INTO POSSIBLY PUTTING A FRAUD ALERT ON THAT CARD.
It's better to be safe than sorry.
Yeah I think it is a scam. Luckily used cc instead of debit so I should be good to go. Gonna wait till tuesday and if I dont have anything from them im gonna try and call and then ill call my cc co.
My wife got the chat invite again today when she was out and it disapeared before she could get a screen shot for me.
Yup just got the email asking for wire transfer. She is calling then cc co in a bit

Hi, did you get any joy? I've been in contact with Nvidia and I think I'm going through the RMA process. Last contact I had with them they requested my contact details and the Tablet product and serial numbers plus proof of purchase. I responded then received a reply telling me an account had been set up on the website. I can now login to track my support progress. I think I'm awaiting a response still as I've still not received any RMA information.
Be sure that there is a FedEx store near there where you live. Nvidia only works with FedEx, otherwise it will cost you some money!

Hi Chris_c81, yes I had mine replaced from Nvidia, as mentioned in the other post you'll need FEDEX office near you to send the item. Address is of Netherlands. It took me around a week to get RMA instructions and then was expected to pay for delivery but I got in contact with on-line chat support and they sent me prepaid label.
Took the package to Fedex office and they sent it for me. Received a replacement in a week.
Hope this helps. All the best.
Thanks. So they have to receive your unit before they send replacement? Bah! That's a lot of time not playing VainGlory lol! Ok thanks. My RMA status at the moment has only just been forwarded to the RMA team. Looks like I have best part of a week then before I hear anything.
Fortunately two FedEx locations near me.

No bother mate Its winging its way to the Netherlands today.
What was the turnaround (from you sending defective unit to you receiving new/refurbished unit)? I'm hoping that as its Monday, they receive Wednesday, process this week and I receive by Monday next week. If I'm really lucky, maybe by Saturday this week, but I doubt they'll turnaround that quickly

I expect my replacement may take a little longer to send out. Coincidentally looks like Nvidia have just recalled a load of Shield Tablets!
http://www.engadget.com/2015/07/31/nvidia-shield-tablet-recall/?sr_share=facebook
I'm assuming they'll send me an unaffected replacement though.
Edit: Woo! Find out on Tuesday. Got my tracking number now.
Well what can I say, a complete farce from start to finish.
From pre ordering to the numerous phone calls and emails to cancel my order and then to try and return my phone for a full refund.
In the end I had to get the police, Santander bank and trading standards involved to get my money back.
I had to wait 3 weeks for my order to ship to me in which time they wouldn't cancel my order even though the phone wasn't built or shipped.
They then said they would send out a pre paid label for me to return the phone, 6 times I had to request this and they never sent the labels while the 14 day returns time scale ran out due to this! I rang DHL and they told me no request was ever made for a returns label!
This left me with no option but to contact the police ,my bank and trading standards, all of whom were brilliant and helped me out :good:, my bank did a charge bank and refunded me my money back. All emails that I sent and received was shown to the above and once Motorola found out I had contacted the above they refused to respond to me anymore
I now have a brand new and sealed moto x style sat on my shelf , I have my money back and I have done all I can to return the phone, I don't know what to do with the phone now?
This was my 1st experience with Motorola, I have read similar experiences , and no doubt that there are lots of happy customers. How can they treat customers like this.
Motorolas loss was Nexus 6p gain
Interesting, I got my return label in about an hour because I requested it online. No phone call was needed. I didn't send my phone back but I could. From what I have read that is the way to do this, go online, submit a return within a few hours you will have an email with the label, end of the issue. I think you will eventually have to send it back or more legal issues may occur.
Seems to me that the phone support is poor so just don't go through them
I wasn't aware you could request online, but I had numerous emails and phone calls asking for a returns label that should have been noted.
Yes i have the kept the phone in safe keeping until they ask for it back!
Did you check your junk mail folder? After 6 requests I feel like they would have sent at least one label.

Thanks, although I was really looking forward to the style, I'm still tempted to open up the box and have a little play but perhaps I'm better leaving it sealed?

doesn't matter at this point. Within the 14 days you can use the device as a daily driver so to them it doesn't matter. If I were you I would play with it. Just don't break it lol
Man, I feel for ya. I hate seeing stories like this. A horrible customer service experience can completely ruin what would otherwise be a nice device experience. Glad you got your money back in any case.
Have you considered giving the device another shot since you now have it? You'd have to send the money back again, but you wouldn't have to wait on shipping.
What made you not want the phone in the first place? Delays in shipping?

If it were me, I'd leave it sealed for 90 days at least. If at that point there is no dispute to the charge back from the bank, no contact from Motorola, etc, you should be safe to say you have a free phone. Keep in mind, just because you got your money back doesn't mean Motorola isn't disputing it on their end. And the bank could at any moment take that money back. If it comes to that, you could need to provide a sealed box device. If you can't, you could be out of luck.
Right now you have a free phone. If you sit on it for a few months, and nothing more comes of it, you still have a free phone.

You know, reading this post just made me decide to go ahead and unlock my device (that I've had for a week) for rooting/moding. I was on the fence because if I unlocked it I would have lost my warranty. But knowing I will never have to deal with Moto Customer Service is a good thing. I won't wanna lose my phone for weeks if something goes wrong anyway, so I'll be better with my local repair shop.
My previous phone, Galaxy S4, developed the dreaded swollen battery. And they wanted me to send it back for a replacement, instead of just sending me a battery. So that makes me not want to deal with customer service at all.
Sorry to hear about your experience. though.

Im intending to keep the phone sealed now, i dont think i have heard the last of Motorola support! Lets see how long it takes for them to send out a label now i have my money back!
I got full refund after having phone for like 5 days, unlocked boot loader and all, no issue at all, then bought the bigger internal memory one, which I should have from beginning. i think you go a bad luck kinda deal my friend
Sorry you feel that way...

Yes that was the first thing I checked, the police and my bank also asked the same question! Like I said DHL confirmed that no return was ever requested from Motorola

For me, the prepaid return label was FedEx, even though the package originally came DHL. Might want to check with them.
This is why I bought mine from Amazon, but I'm keeping it.

Motorola contracts FedEx for the return. Not DHL. You went the wrong route.
Also, make sure your Motorola account has the correct email address. I used Google Plus login when I created the Motorola account and it showed some weird email address when I check my Motorola profile. I had to go in there and updated to the correct email address.
You will want to send the phone back. Contact any FedEx retail location, give them your address and they may have your label on file. If you decide to keep the phone, Motorola might bill you for it. If you don't pay, they will send you to collection. Good luck.
Looks like a little work around someone shared on Reddit to get the 360 camera for $50 works for Sprint pre-orders.
https://www.reddit.com/r/essential/comments/6vvg6c/regret_not_buying_the_360_camera/
Buy the camera and phone from Essential.com (link and steps in the Reddit link), reserve the 360 camera for $50 at checkout, stop there. Just don't buy the phone if you don't want a 2nd one.
I pre-ordered via Sprint for the 50% off lease for 18 months. I also followed these steps to reserve the camera. I got an email about my reservation for $50. I didn't get to put in any purchase info at that point yet. Instead, a follow-up email to complete my order came. Upon checkout, I am in fact purchasing the 360 camera for $50.
I did this as well. Order processed. Fingers crossed they dont cancel. I spoke to their support about this. They goofed my reservation and the camera wasnt showing. I got impatient and went the Sprint route and they emailed me last night to reserve the camera and they would send me the checkout info. I told them i ordered the phone already and they said no problem. So it looks like it processed properly
Thanks for this. Seemed to work as I had already reserved a camera earlier. I was disappointed that I wouldn't get to try this camera out as I wouldn't pay 200 for out.
I was able to buy the 360 Camera for 50$ from Essential website although I placed my order for the phone through Amazon
I did the same. Reserved camera, backed out of cart, email came in, then I purchased it.
Dang, it's $179 now :/

Yeah I ordered mine last night and it was 179! Surprisingly the email I got from them said it's still $50, so I contacted them hoping I could get it for 50 since that's what the email says, but I haven't heard back from them, but from what I'm seeing on Twitter... They don't get back to u that quickly or often.... ?
Missed this... damn it.
Has anyone that ordered this without the phone receive a shipping notification yet?
not yet.

I ended up sending them a long rant about their delays and that i ended up getting the phone from Sprint to avoid delays. Long story short, gave them my Sprint Info and IMEI/SN and said the experience has been terrible and hope the honor the price even though i ended up buying through a more reliable outlet:

That's disappointing... Looks like I'll have to cancel my order then.
