Hello!
New to the forums. Im looking for a tablet currently and saw the 10.1 online for $320 refursbished through best buy. (although wal mart had it for $250 earlier today) Was just wondering if its worth the purchase. I know the new one will be out shortly, just looking at opinions from others. Thank you!

Walmart is sold out in both colors of the refurb units.
The release coming up in Sept is for the note 3 phone or are they releasing a new note 10.1 tablet also?
I really like my Note 10.1 and they would have to come out with something mind blowing for me to upgrade when a new note 10.1 comes out.

Yea i saw the walmart deal on gizmodo earlier. Best buy has it for $330 refurb. Mine consider that option as well seems to be a great tablet. Thanks for your response!
I bought mine refurbished on Woot.com for $299 and honestly it's just as good as brand new... I have been scared of refurbs before but now I think it's one of the best ways to go. even bought my wife a refurbished note 8.0 on ebay for $289 and hers is just like a brand new unit as well, plus depending on where you get it, most refurbs have a 90 day warranty (but if it turns out to be like my purchases, you won't need it)

Ordered mine the other day from Wal-Mart and got a 2 year drop, spills, whatever warranty from them for 36.00. I feel I'm covered. Looking forward to using it soon.

The only reason I'm here is because of the $249 walmart refurb deal 2 days ago. That being said it depends on where you get the refurb from. Walmart has a very good return policy and I can take it back to any physical store without restocking fees. And there were over 500 online reviews with the majority indicating that the tablet came in brand new like condition minus the original box. That was enough for me to pull the trigger.
if it's not too late i would wait unless you want a cheap tablet to hold you over, samsung are supposedly going to announce a 1080p note series 12" tablet soon so look out for it, i'm interested myself but i am still happy with the note 10.1 though.

wish i would of saw that walmart deal sooner. they have it now for $299 which still isnt bad..
I have a question for those of you purchasing Walmart refurbs: what build number shipped on your device? My daughter and a friend's daughter both purchased Walmart refurbs and arrived with UEUCMA3 and would not update through the system. It just says the latest updates have been installed- which is obviously not true. I updated my daughter's (via ODIN), but I am curious about the experience of others.
Thanks,

The best way to get the update when auto update does not work is With your computer using samsung Kies software.But ODIN Flash is fine too..
Just letting you know there is another option..
I to agree with some of the comments above. I do not think i will upgrade to the next gen note 10 tablet.my note 10.1 runs perfect and does all i want.Also its likely to be 500.00 to 600.00 . That is a alot of money. I hope my note 10.1 will be viable for another year or so.. I also would NOT WANT A tablet bigger then 10. inches . 10 inches to me is a Monster .. Giggles.
Anyway Buy buy buy...... its half price and refurbs are useally returns or non sold new devices reboxed to sell with less warranty to clear out stock..
@erica_renee, I did try kies before ODIN, same result.

Picked up a woot.com refurb for $299. It's been flawless so far.

Yes, I picked mine up from Walmart and am very happy with it. Brand new looking, only difference is the refurb packaging.
It handles everything I throw at it and don't think I will need anything new anytime this year at least.
I paid 279 which was an excellent deal in itself. 249 is insane. You could probably resell if on ebay for a profit which may be why they are now sold out.
Buy one of you get the chance!
ps . I even got the drop and spill insurance since it was so inexpensive.
I bought a refurbished one from Walmart. I went with them over Best Buy because Walmart offered a two year warranty for like $40.

I picked up one of these from Amazon refurbished for $299, great so far, although Ido have a dead pixel near the bottom right, but you can hardly tell. Otherwise you wouldnt have a clue this wasnt new. Great deal and I'm so happy to be rid of my Asus TF300, that thing was such a waste of money, slow as dirt, this thing just zips a long and I got a nice bluetooth keyboard case/stand for it as well. No complaints here

Lost out
I would say yes to the OP question.
I myself was going to purchase a second Note 10.1 and when I went to get one of the $259 refurbs at Walmart they were sold out, I lost out on a great deal.
I see the reburb units have hit Ebay now and the cheapest I see is $299, still a good deal, the seller sold over 380 white units and 130 gray and the white is about sold out.
.
Walmart should still have more. I got mine plus two years of warranty for $299 and some cents. I was actually considering getting the TF300 don't know why I chose the Note, but it was a sound investment.

This. The fear of refurbs is a weird failure the QA folks missed. $299 and a 2year warranty is a good deal. Just make sure you know how to take advantage of their warranty (receipts, boxes, etc) before you need to. Taking pictures/scans of the receipts is a very good idea if you don't need the originals. Thermograph paper doesn't last too long.
They emailed the warranty information.
Had $37 in eBay Bucks and picked this up:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-Fac...1-Inch-Wi-Fi-16GB-White-GT-N8013/271152026387
Not bad for $242.
Good day,
I am curious, are the RMA units from Google Play directly brand new phones, or refurbished/repaired ones? And is there any way one can check on the N5? (I read about the RTN menus, but that doesn't seem to work for me).
Thanks!
I´m interested in this because i´m waiting for my replacement
Yes. They send back a new retail unit when doing warranty replacements.

I think they are new, at least in my case. But all 4 of them have had defects on the screen (dust?) and I am waiting for my 5th device...
I had to replace my Nexus 5. The CS rep at Google said that all Nexus 5 replacements were new. Hope this helps.
If all the replacements Nexus 5s are new... Where goes all the Nexus 5s we send them?

Pretty fast. Mine shipped the next business day after I requested it.. this was just last week.

I just received a text about my Gear 2 being delayed 3 more weeks! April 30 is now when they say it will ship. Very disappointed, as thought I would have this Thursday.
AT&T Free Msg: We are experiencing a delay in the release of the Samsung Gear 2 and expect to ship your device on or around 4/30/14. We appreciate your business and are prioritizing your order.
Gear 2 Delayed
I have also received the same message. I am very disappointed as i was hoping to have it with the phone. If it is just shipping i will go and pick it up from the store..
Did you both order gold brown? Black and orange are showing 4/8 ship dates (though some people are getting tracking numbers today) but as of about a week ago the gold brown has said 4/30 for the ship date.
My black Gear 2 Neo is in Fedex's hands and schedule for delivery tomorrow.
My gear fit shipped out Friday and I am wearing it now

@JakeStGermain What is your early impression of the Fit. I ordered the Neo because it seems to have everything the Fit does, but I prefer the look of the Fit. My primary purpose for the smart watch is the fitness capabilities.

Yes the Gold Brown was the color. I checked earlier at AT&T site and all colors now show 4/30 shipping, maybe it was the color choice though originally
I have the orginal gg. This is so much lighter and actually smaller than what I expected. I do like it so far though. I am running an early version of gear fit because it has not been released yet. Also they need to update the s health apk for it.

The fit is good for someone that just wants the basic apps. There is no app store for the gear fit(as of now). You get what is loaded on it. If you are fine with that then you will love it. Personally I didn't make or receive calls with my gear. I also think I used the camera about 5 times.
I used my gear to receive notifications instead of pulling out my phone to see who txt or emailed. And I used it as a fitness tracker. I also still have my watch if I want to use it (I doubt I will). The gear fit is also lighter than the Nike Fuel band.

I was incorrect about them all being 4/30, the charcoal was 4/8, but then they said it would still take 2 weeks after this to ship, so I am keeping the Gold one. I did love the look of it better anyway, but 3 more weeks will be tough : )

Well, there are two of us, if that helps. When I pre-ordered, it said April 8 for the ship date, so I assumed that all colors were being produced and would be available, particularly since they showed off a gold version at MWC. I'm curious if brick and mortar stores will have the gold on Friday, or if it's a case of Samsung not producing that color until later on (as I recall they've done at least once with a Galaxy phone). Look at it this way, there will probably be more apps and a software update or two out by the time we get ours, so maybe some of the bugs will be worked out.

Thank you, and I had already thought about more apps being available Too and appreciate the moral support.
has anyone seen their gold brown version ship yet today? I have been waiting and received no emails and check the website and it is still in pending status.
Nope, no update yet. Amazon shows them in stock now so I think they are making it to more retailers. AT&T is either last on the list or slow. Or both.
my preorder with Best Buy was pushed from 4/11 to 4/28 to 5/19. Cancelled and ordered directly from Samsung, still on backorder status. No updates as of yet.

Yesterday I got Best Buy to match the 25% off three accessories that AT&T has. They had to order the watch but I got shipping confirmation and a tracking number already. This was for the black one, I didn't check any other colors.
Hausman, I got my shipping email and tracking number today for the Gold Brown model from AT&T! Should be here next Wednesday. I wish they had overnight shipping, or that they delivered on the release date, as Apple does for the iPhones, but at least it is coming now, and was at the Dallas Airport last. Cheers all!

Aha, awesome! I never got an email, but I did check my order status after a few people said they got notices over on AndroidCentral, and sure enough I have a tracking number. It's 2-day priority, so I would assume you'd have it by Saturday unless you're not in the continental US.

Great to hear, but regretfully mine is via UPS and it states next Wednesday. My son got the S5 phone a few weeks back, and it also too this long to arrive, so I will not hold out hope for Saturday, but Tuesday would be amazing! : ) I am a big fan of the Gear 1 since day one, and after reading all the posts, I still expect that I will truly love the Gear 2. It as good to see some apps having been released this past week even, that we will have from the day we get ours.
how many of you that got the note 5 did the promotional thing where you can get free gifts I don't know if it's still available but these are what I got if you go to the Samsung website look up promotions it should be holiday bundles and you can choose I choose than man package cause it came with the headphones when I find the link I'll post it hopefully it's still up and running

Well this kinda sucks. It only applies to people who didn't buy before a certain date. I bought on launch day. Ah well I submitted receipts anyway. [emoji1]
they didn't send me any confirmation saying if they shipped it or not I got home one day and bam there was my box

Anyone else do a preorder for the LGv20? I ordered one through Avant and noticed the one other person who preordered was also coming from a note 7.
I'll be picking my unit up October 31. Fortunately within the refund window of my note 7
I'm thinking of preordering one. I hear the dual sim version that we will get also has fm radio enabled. Not to mention the free extra batt and 200sd card. Does the B&O headphone come with it?
According to the sales person I talked to, it comes with both the free battery and b and o headphones. Wasn't able to ask about the FM radio. Avant in greenbelt has a display unit that you can play with so you can go check that out. I don't know if other branches will have display units...I only went and preordered in avant. No LG store in Makati..
Update. I went back to the store I ordered the unit from and talked w the sales person there. Seems LG Philippines didn't think they would need that many sd cards that they bundled with the pre order. All preorders from last Saturday onwards will have the sdcards to follow because they didn't order enough.
Heard the avant Makati branch has around 35 pre ordered units while the mega mall preorders reached more than a thousand already. No idea about other pre order stores.
Does Avant Makati have enough SDs? I am planning to preorder on the 28th.

Release date October 31,Monday. A very weird date to release a phone.
I know. Why a Monday? Should have done it on a Saturday. But at least it's a holiday.
Even their pre orders started on a weekday...
I can't wait.. Lol
I'm going to miss my note 7 though...
Most of the v20 sales came from ex note 7 users. So Samsung really dropped the ball here. Funny how they asked what was our old unit when we did the pre order. Did they always use to do that? Or just now? To see if the note buyers move to them?
I already purchased a clear ringke fusion while waiting for it. Im also planning on getting a dbrand skin. Just not sure what color to get atm.

I did. No word from Avant yet but other stores including LG already began releasing it to those who preordered yesterday. Oh well...
just got mine today, one 200Gb Sandisk sdcard, two 3200mAh battery and a B&O earphone... but sadly, no charging kit...
How are the included earphones? They are b&o but they dont look like h3s as far as I can tell.
Are you using dual sims? Do they both get lte or do you need to set up which one thatll use it?

Yes, both sim supports LTE, but not at the same time, the B&O IEM are not the H3, they are much cheaper than the H3, and much rounder, probably give you a better fit, cound be made by LG with B&O logo, could be wrong, but the built quality is considered good.
I just got mine today from cmk. It came this morning and was supposed to come on the 31st but they allowed me to pick it up today. They didn't predict so many pre orders so I have to get the 200gb SD card a week from now. It comes with an extra battery and headphones but no extra battery cradle. For those who have it, does the light breed on the upper left? Other than that it's perfect!
