Getting My Gear VR Tomorrow, Who Else Got It? - Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers

Just got confirmation From UPS Saying my Gear VR Will be here tomorrow.... I Live in Canada did not get Confirmation Email..... Just seen many people worried they were not getting there's so i thought I would post to show that I got mine to Show that they Are sending them, seems about as fast as my Gear Fit 2 I got with my Note 7..... Shouldn't be more than 2 weeks for the rest of you Hopefullt. Have you Guys Got your Headset yet or still waiting?

That's good. I applied on the 19th. Got approval email on 21st. Ordered shortly after. Got a confirmation email receipt of payment and order number by noon on 21st. Then they sold out that afternoon. My bank has not been charged yet though and I have not received shipping notification.
Not too worried, but the sd card would be nice.

Was getting mine tomorrow but it's been updated to come Friday.

I bought the $99 bundle and purchased my S8+ direct from Samsung. Got a shipping email on 4/21 for the bundle, but it included the tracking number for my phone (which was already delivered at that point). Still haven't gotten the package, and have no way of tracking where it is. So emailed Samsung, expecting to hear back in 24 hours, but no response yet. Guess I'm going to have to rev up Netflix and chill on hold for an hour or so tomorrow...

Everybody seemed worried about not getting it right away..... when I got My Note 7 it came about a week or so after release day .... so when it showed online 6 to 8 weeks I didn't believe it and waited patiently but it seems everyone is complaining on not getting there's.... just wait and it will eventually come!

Got an email late last night.. Said $99 bundle will be here friday.

I'm not completely worried about not getting it, except for the fact that I continually see people who registered after me who keep getting tracking numbers and I haven't heard a peep. Unless they can block fedex or ups from showing me labels have been created, they haven't even made a label yet.
after the mess of people trying to pay for the $99 bundle (of which I paid AND the charges cleared...not pending...cleared) it's starting to get a little worrisome to see so many people ahead of me.
I don't care to wait, dont care if it takes 6 weeks, but somehow being way after others who registered after me is weird.

Anyone get their G2x yet?

I ordered mine Friday morning online. I choose standard shipping cause it said 4/18 delivery. Well today it's not here and I called UPS and they don't even have it yet.
So even if it was shipped out today it could be later this week. Wtf good is ordering something 5days early if they don't ship it out until day 4?
I'm in the same boat as you and now it looks like I won't see my g2x until either the 24 or 26.. Sucks but that's life..
That's weird. I ordered mine late Friday night and will be here tomorrow. My tracking info has been available since this morning.
Mine just says they received the info but not picked up yet. They should have been picked up this morning at least. UPS usually makes two trips for packages. AM and PM.
I remember the same thing happening on a past phone, (forget which). So thats why I specifically didnt pre order it. Plus the pre-orders for this would also include a weekend so I knew darn right things would be wack.
Heres to picking them up in the stores and knowing its a good one before I leave.
LOL.
Tmobile is saying that it is pre-order only and they won't ship until 4/20. Aside from making the supervisor go on to the website and verify that no where does it say pre-order. It says Web Exclusive. He said that there is an error and they aren't allowed to sell them until the 20th as per their agreement with LG.
I just cancelled my order. I'd rather walk into a store Wednesday morning and pick it up and be done with it.
The bad thing is I sold my N1 today and is expected to be shipped out tomorrow morning. So cheers to being screwed and having to go without a phone for a few days.

Ugh. Looks like something is up with my order (I paid for express shipping) as well. I got an email/text from T-Mo saying the phone was shipped and going to be delivered on the 19th, but now on the website it says the 20th...and according to UPS it hasn't even shown up at their facility yet AND it's shipping ground.

I did regular shipping because A)They usually arrive the very next day regardless B)Regular shipping said Monday 4/18
I called and the girl was giving me a bunch of BS. She said I couldn't cancel it because it was already shipped... then turned around and said I didn't get it because it was a pre-order and wouldn't ship until the 20th.
I had to speak with a supervisor that said some were accidentally shipped early but their contract with LG states it won't be available until the 20th.
Update: LMAO
Now my fedex tracking info says it is in KY and expected to deliver tomorrow. I wonder since they cancelled it... if I'll get it for free?
I personally accept all of your thanks for calling and getting the pot stirring. j/k. ugh.
Ordered mine Friday at around Noon Pacific time and I received the phone today. Very nice so far!!!
Rooted within 5 minutes using superoneclick.
Now trying to figure out what kernel will work to be able to use BLN. And of course ROMs and Themes would be good to know about too that are compatible with this phone.
Reading all of this I am glad I decided to wait and pick one up on Wednesday. The store next to my office has 8 in stock and two have my name on them.

Ummm I don't think O2x kernels and roms will work with our G2x. Didn't they say that it would render the phone useless because they have different partition tables?

What time did yours update? Mine still hasn't.
I ordered mine through customer retention on Friday around noon, and I got express shipping. Once I got a tracking number later on in the day, it said that UPS was ready to ship it once T-Mobile sent it, and I also noticed that the shipping was changed to 2nd day air. It left Kentucky this morning, and according to the tracking it should be here tomorrow, which would be within the 2-3 business days. I they often upgrade the shipping for some reason? I've visited a couple t-mobiles to play with it in store, it's just made me want it more

Early Shipment possibilities??

So a few people have heard that the One X could be shipping as soon as AT&T has stock at warehouse. And others have said they were told they will get the phone on the 27th. Does anyone want to chime in on this? Any inside knowledge? Did anyone tell you this as well?
Im going to Disneyland this coming Sunday/Monday. If theres a chance of getting the phone before this weekend, Ill all for it.
i ALMOST had the guy at the local store ready to sell it to me. He said they had some in the back and would go grab one. He had one white one and went to ring me up. The damn system wouldn't let me, then the manager came back from lunch and told him he can't sell it yet . ALMOST had one lol.
I'd love if it came early. I pre-ordered at AT&T, and I am supposed to get it the 4th. But I'm going to Florida on the night of the 3rd, so it would show up the next day and I wouldn't get it until I came back on the 6th. So. Fingers crossed that it shows up early!

Some are new to Red5. He is 15 so everyone knows.
Guy at my ATT thought one was in the back also... He came back with a confused look saying it wasn't there.
Some story as most... Friday the 4th it is supposed to arrive and they will call me to pick it up. They said when I see an email that says "shipped" thats actually the "its arrived" at the ATT location.
did you all who pre-ordered in the store get a confirmation email? I didn't and want to know if I should be concerned or not

Mike call sustomer sevice and see whats up.You should get an email within an hour or 2 of preordering, but than again it looks like they're systems have been
a little screwy!
only a email saying order received and on or before may 6
I heard it all depends on how quickly they can squeeze bloatware in there.
I had to call the support hotline to make sure everything was ok with my order because I had an "attention" flag on one of the boxes and it had me concerned. After having my phone call to India dropped twice(the irony), I got a lady in Texas and she said it would ship as soon as it's done being reviewed, and I should see it Wednesday..
I'll go out on a limb and say that she had no idea that the phone is on pre-order otherweise that would be awesome.

I called customer service and was immediately greeted asking if I wanted to activate my upgrade. Hung up at that point. I'm assuming everything worked out fine and have a wrong email in the system. As long as I'm in the system for an upgrade, I'm happy.

Same thing happened to me. I found out that this happens when you have the device shipped to a different address than the billing address on your account.
Sounds about right, I'm shipping it to work because I won't be home to sign off on it.

I'm moving cross-country and leaving on the 6th or 7th. I really want to preorder and have this for my 28 hour drive, but I don't think I should risk UPS screwing up and me ending up leaving without my phone. Thoughts?

Mike, when did you place your preorder?
I went to the AT&T store closest to work (Tysons Corner, VA) and the sales rep said the phone would be at the store on the 4th. Pre-orders only, 6th for regular sale.
An hour later I received an email that said, in part:
"Thank you for ordering from AT&T. Your device has been reserved and is expected to be delivered by May 4th, 2012. At AT&T, we promise to ship our products in the order in which requests are received*."
It's still possible that it'll be delayed but I've yet to see any indication of it.
Edit: The Tysons Corner store also has a One X (white) display model next to the entry. As far as I know this is the only local store with one at the moment.
This could just be a system error but look at shipping date. I placed my order at 12:30am the 22th.

[Q] Anyone with a "leaves Nov 8" get a "shipped" notification?

Just curious if anyone will get their's a little earlier than they might've expected. I just want to have hope that mine arrives sooner.
Edit - Beginning to draw conclusions based on what I've heard from everyone: those who live in the US may have to wait longer for theirs to ship. A lot of ones that've already shipped are to people who live outside the US. This is not a fact; don't take my word for it. Just a heads up/guess.

You should also ask which one they've ordered b/c it seems more black (possibly 32gb) has been ordered
So on the email i got from google it says,
"You've made a purchase on Google Play. You will not be charged until your order has shipped."
I checked the status and it says pending, but they charged my bank account?? has it been shipped already and i just have not received my email? I chose the 2 day shipping btw

Orders that are shipped will show Shipped.
If it still shows Pending, then it's Pending.
Once it's shipped, the Pending will change to Shipped and you will receive a tracking number.

They didn't "charge" your account.
They simply checked if you had enough funds.
If they ship before your bank and / or card drops the "test charge," then it will actually charge, if it takes longer, the "test charge" will drop and you will get charged again once it's shipped.
Good topic... mine is Nov 8 too. Got charged already.
Someone take my N4 please

i guess that makes sense, they completely removed the funds from my account, pretty crazy. thats a charge imo
edit so i checked my bank account and its a pending charge
Purchase PreAuthorization - GOOGLE *Devices GOOGLE.COM/CHCAUS - Card Ending In XXXX
Pending transactions are authorizations for debit card purchases made without the use of your PIN. The funds for these transactions are immediately held and deducted from your available balance. In most instances, pending transactions convert to posted transactions within a few days. If the business does not complete the transaction, the authorization hold will be removed and the funds returned to your available balance.

Yeah, it's a bit bizarre.
Even with exchanges.. they charge your card for the amount the phone is worth, and when you ship yours back, they drop it.

This experience for you is already a million times better than nexus4. That was a disaster...
I wouldn't put much faith in any shipping time, not at least until it's on my doorstep
Ordered too many phones by accident. All say "leaves Nov 8th" and pending but was told by Google support they have all been sent to shipping and can't be canceled just refused for delivery. So now I get 4 phones sent to me instead of 2 (1 32gb white, 1 16gb white and 2 32gb black)
Damn

This exactly hapened to me during the nexus 4 released as i purchased it as soon as it went live. we might get lucky guys.

The confusing part is that if you go to the main samsung.com.au site it is advertising that if you order now, you will receive the device by April 21st...
Ok so, I just spoke with a CSR and I have been told that the phones will be shipped out on the 21st and delivered on the 24th!

So far from my preorder experience, I used to get on the specified date. If we getting on 24th, what's the point in preordering? I think we will be getting on 21st onwards. Else, I will drop by JBHIFI or someone and get the phone on hand on 21st.
The site clearly says that you will start getting from 21st April.

UPDATE: Just got off the phone with Samsung Australia, spoke to 2 reps, including a Supervisor; apparently we were advised during the pre-ordering process that the GearVR would not arrive until 28 days (or longer) after the phone arrived....
Don't know about you guys, but I was not advised, in fact, I have email receipts and print screens stating that the gearvr ship on the 21st!?

Same here. But I don't work about Gear VR at all. Its a useless device. I got one with my S7 which I used for 30mins and never used it again. You cannot use it continuously as it creates fog inside on continuous usage.

Which is basically what I had mentioned a few days ago from my conversation with a Samsung CSR.
The bigger question is, why send it on a Friday and just have it sitting at Auspost over the weekend... That is just cruel. The ideal scenario is to have it on a Friday and have the whole weekend to play with the new toy.

Sounds like the have logistics issues.... they really need to get their priorities straight.
Beside alll that, having that much $$$$ just sitting somewhere for 2 days when it could have been avoided by sending it 2 days earlier is just a stupid thing to do, it creates an unecassary peril to the device that otherwise could have easily been avoided. Insurance policy would typicicaly.....

Also, i'm not going to be truly excited about this phone until TWRP is up and running on it and hopefully at most were a month away from that arriving...
Lastly, it seems like in the last 10 years things have progressively gotten a whole lot worse in the QA for all manufactures, it seems these days you don't get a device your happy with until you have fought with the CSR reps and exchanged the units a few times, etc.. I actually dislike purchasing new gadgets with displays for this reason, it's a royal pain in the arse!!
I just couldn't pass up that damn vr promo! Here's to hopefully being excited about S8+ a month from now when the dust settles
JB hi-fi ships out today for my s8+ ?

Gear VR Pre-Order Room

I was part of the T-Mobile S8 preorder and decided to make this. We can discuss the gear VR and shipping around it. Has everyone submitted their order and how did you submit it? I did it with the Samsung Shop app.
You know what sucks?.....the fact that I rushed an upload of my receipt in a form of a pdf from tmobiles site to Samsung's promotion site Realizing that it was my old s7e receipt.... now it's processing and Samsung's customer service is backed up from flooded calls...i did not have the patience of waiting 2 hours, sad thing is I probably did because I fell asleep and woke up with that stupid ass song playing while they got me on hold through the speaker phone....looks like I won't get a free gear vr because of my stupidity.......yep pretty much? and yes I used shop app

You know what else is dumb?....lady made me feel like a tard because she made me download an app called samsung tutor...holy ****e! It's an app for her to be able to control my phone on her end...and she went to the shop app and did what I already knew and said yep it's processing lol..mind you I'm watching my phone do things without me touching it so that messed my brain up for a minute lol.....im thinking bruh I already know this you did that to think I didn't know my way around my own damn phone...really?.....lol what a day
I just did it through the samsiumg store app.

There's another thread about this here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/help/samsung-promotions-success-t3592129. Some are having trouble but the app worked for me.
I submitted the request via the website.
I have to provide further proof because the screenshot I posted from MyT-mobile was apparently missing the order date, which I now did. But I am happy to see that my request was reviewed within 14 hours of submission. Perhaps Samsung is putting serious resources into this review process.
I submitted two offers yesterday, and both were approved today. However it never gave me the opportunity to pay $99 for the extra stuff even though I picked that option... WTF
Mine was processed and approved, just waiting on shipping.
Oh. And before anyone asks...once you make your selection of what gift you want (the $99 bundle or the free Gear VR) you CANNOT and I repeat CANNOT change it. Choose wisely.
Submitted via the store app yesterday and just got approved. This went a lot quicker than the S7 promo.

I got an email saying 6-8 weeks. For the S7 mine shipped one month after getting approved.

I'm confused. I received an email saying 6 to 8 weeks shipping. But the app still says under review.

When you click view status, it takes you to another page that shows your status. It says registration approved. Basically the same thing as the email.

If you get on a computer and go to the promotions website, it shows as approved and preparing to ship. If you got the registration approved email and it says the same in the app, have no fear, your submission was approved and is being processed to ship.

I did on the Samsung website on Thursday and it has already shipped with an estimated delivery for Tuesday. I bought the $99 bundle.
Submitted the 19th , got approved the 20th, shipped the 21st, used the app to submit. If I check the app it still says under review. But the website it shows approved gift sent. I would check the website instead of the app.
Edit: it was for the free vr. Not the 99$ package.
Is there anyway I can receive the $99 bundle its crazy how fast it's sold out..
For those who have had theirs ship did you order the $99 bundle with it?
