cracked Screen/samsung premium care - Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers

Cracked screen almost not usable. I went with the fee premium care. its been approved but i called to see why it hasnt shipped and was told they are trying to get the device, if they dont have refurbished they will try and buy one...So, they have no idea when i will get an device. I was also told that its on back order.. My question is could it be a week or two weeks before i get a device....

Sorry to hear that but samsung.com service is a huge joke. They will have a different story each time you call them.

Trust me Apple and basically other manufacturers are worse or just about as bad as Samsung's customer service.

I have spent 3 days trying to get them to fix their system and allow me to get premium care. I am probably going to stop trying and just pay if I break it.

The Samsung insurance that costs $199.99?

I respectfully have to disagree with you. I've experienced Apple's customer service firsthand and it's been nothing but great for me. The fact that I can just walk into an Apple store greatly helped but that doesn't change the fact that after a wait, they always resolved any issues I had. (Even some caused by me.) The worst part is that wait though.

Apple has got to be the best customer service that I have ever dealt with. Even getting them to repair a phone was like getting a brand new item in the box. Really quick calls as well.
Samsung on the other hand is a complete disaster. Be prepared to be on the phone a good 2 hours anytime you have to give them a call. Also, their repair service is unbelievably terrible as well. I had to send a Note 4 in like 5 times because the screen was separated completely from the frame after they replaced it. It blew my mind how they couldn't get the screen to stay on the frame being that they made the device. They even acted like it was my fault even though I sent pics the same day I would receive the "fixed" phone.

Didn't take to long. Didn't get original color silver but grey it's not really grey to me though. Looks nice. I had to email Samsung they said they would look into it.

It is on sale now through ATT...

The site is trying to charge me $200, I hope it is a glitch. Apparently non commitment pricing is only $399

Ohhhhhh, what is this Xora and how much will it cost me I wonder?
I can't quite figure it out but I think it is $16.99 a month
This is the breakdown of what Xora is, I wouldnt touch it with a 10 foot pole, hahaha.
http://news.softpedia.com/news/AT-T-Intros-Xora-GPS-Locator-Phone-Tracking-Solution-116128.shtml
Why anyone would want to buy that when HTC SENSE does it for free when you buy the phone is beyond me.
Source: http://www.slashgear.com/htc-sense-online-portal-open-for-desire-hddesire-z-users-07106331/
Quoted directly from HTC press release:
"Ever had a moment when you couldn’t locate your phone, or even left a mobile phone somewhere? HTCSense.com gives users peace of mind should this ever occur. You can easily locate a missing phone by triggering the handset to ring loudly, even if it is set to silent, or to flag its location on a map. If the phone’s been lost or stolen, users can remotely lock the phone, forward calls and texts to another phone, send a message to the phone to arrange its return or even remotely wipe all personal data from it."
This Xora scheme and not offering Unlimited Data is whats killing the company, when will they wake up and realize this?
Iphone isnt the end of the world but its the other 'In' device other than Android phones of course so why not bring back at least unlimited data to prevent people from jumping ship to another carrier?
Its funny, a few days ago I threatened to cancel and they said they couldn't give it to me because I never had it in the first place and to contact corporate.
Why iPhone users are granted exclusivity to that feature is phonecist as well, hahaha. Yeah I know I made up a word.
Anybody figure out how to order off premier and NOT get the Xora crap ?
its $99.99 new or upgrade plan without xora... if it wont let you do it online just go in to the store.
I just got mine for 69.99 at the att store locally. They will price match the website, dont let them say they wont. Also no zora either. 75$ and sum change out the door.
You can also call ATT Premier Services and speak with them directly.
Got my Inspire for 49.99 because I *****ed about " not beign able to order online " due to some glitch with there website.
Been a customer with ATT / Cingular for 8 years now. They may seem like they don't care but trust me, if the first person you talk to gives you ****, just request to speak with a manager and have them pull some strings.
49.99 with no activation fee.. great deal
What glitch were you getting exactly? I'm thinking of calling later and trying to get a deal.

Can someone explain

I just saw [email protected] commercial saying [email protected] and tmobile will be working together to provide you with better coverage no matter where you are. Sounds like there bought,i called tmobile twice and they told me tmobile has been bought. So why when i asked people around here they say its not true. I don't wanna believe it but i guess its true.

Google search is your friend.
http://articles.boston.com/2011-06-29/business/29718145_1_at-t-deal-at-t-chief-executive-public-hearings
The deal has not been approved by the FCC, so at this point ATT has not purchased T-Mobile.
The ad you describe is likely just an attempt by ATT to influence public opinion in their favor.
Thx i googled but got every answer you could think of , i got a feeling from the last few quarters i read about T-Mobile struggling to stay a float i didn't know it was that bad.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure T-Mobile has been in the red for years, not just for a few quarters. Their parent company would just bail them out though because they are a huge multinational but I guess they're tiring of it. T Mobile USA is like that under achieving little brother who always gets himself into trouble.
According to that article I linked if they do merge ATT would hold 80% of the US market. Hard to predict how the FCC will decide, but that clearly would severely impact competition. In any case it looks like a decision is a year away.
Samnada if it's approved were all gonna be ****ed higher prices and innovation of new devices will suffer.I guess if it happens 80% of people gonna have the freakin iphone in Chicago damn near everyone i see got one.

I don't believe T-Mobile has been in the red, not for a long time if at all. I was under the impression they've been, and continue to be, profitable - just not as profitable as DT would like. Going back through the years we see profits of $130 - $500+ million per quarter.

Honestly I hope the merger is not approved so T-Mobile will receive the cash, spectrum and roaming agreements that AT&T has committed to providing in case of a breakup. I have nothing against AT&T other than their arrogance, overly-congested network, unscrupulous advertising tactics and arguably the worst customer service known to man.
If ATT ends up with 80% we'll be

Ha, "Screwed, blued and tattooed" reminds me of what Bob said to Ritchie in La Bamba.

T-Mobile sent me a G2x without the T-Mobile Branding.

Today, I received my replacement device from T-Mobile, and instead of having it say "T-Mobile" above the display, it says "LG". It's a P-999WD, and has the July 15 baseband.
It's not an issue, but I thought it was pretty weird. Now I have an Optimus 2x ;D

Exact same thing happened to me. Received the new device earlier this month. Thought it was weird but not a problem.
that's pretty sweet!
is the back battery cover black? or the tmobile version with the brownish bronze tint?

Nah, it was a Warranty Exchange, so no battery/cover were included.
Here in Canada we only get the non-branded black/grey ones
No back cover included for me either. Only difference is the "LG" above the display.

Wow. Do you have some sort of issue? You could have politely corrected him. This kind of behavior isn't welcome on XDA (or anywhere, for that matter).
That's what the ones from WIND look like. They have no issues except minor screen bleed.

WOW. They are all o2x phones. The G2x is called that because of branding to T-Mobile. What gives?

They're not exactly the same... They are however VERY similar. I'd say maybe they're more like fraternal twins than identical.
Hmmm... I'm going to pick my replacement up from UPS in the morning. Wonder if I'll get unbranded? Guess I'll post back here once I find out.
On another note, I thank you all for not being idiots like the other Guy.

Well his screenname does say demented so it kinda makes sense.
sheesh....dude got tag teamed!!! lol
but...warranty is tied with the device for a whole year after the phones release right? even thought the phone was not bought from tmobile? (im second owner )
if people keep getting unbranded ones, i might try my luck...if possible.

I actually don't even think they would know that you're not the original owner, unless you tell them. If you do warranty through T-Mobile, you'll have to pay a $20 fee, but if you have Premium Handset Protection, which is $7.99 a month, it's only a $5.00 fee, but it covers physical damage, and theft. Normally, you can't get Premium Handset Protection after 14 days, but they'll offer it to you during your warranty exchange. Also, if you have Premium Handset Protection, they'll give you FREE overnight shipping if you request it before 8pm EST.

First of all he deserved to be tag teamed. He must be one of those little kiddies that mommy and daddy bought a expensive smartphone for. that is the reason for all this crap on xda now because everyone has a smartphone now including the assholes. For some reason they all seem to be gravitating toward the g2x and that is not to say all g2x owners are assholes but I also have the sgs2 and this **** just doesnt seem to go on there.

You don't read the SGS2 forums much do you? haha
There has been all kinds of drama over there. From people being accused of kanging other roms and people getting banned to just general retardedness like that guy. It's bad all over the place. Kind of sad really.
I agree. I think most of it is kids getting on here and thinking they need to make a name for themselves and show how badass they are.
Picked my replacement up today and unfortunately it's still branded. Screen seems to be much better than my previous phone, even though they were both DWs. Oh well.

What just happened here? Free data??

Not sure where to post it - I'm quite dumb founded...I have no clue what happened here or why it this way. Anybody ever seen this? I'm obviously not going to call or say anything about it but I'm praying it continues for a few more months before they fix it
Update: I complained about a data outage in my area and they gave me a $5 credit. Then I was on Twitter with an ATT customer care rep for a bit but nothing came out of it and I didn't really have an issue. I don't get how this happened unless they were being super generous. In that case, I'm complaining every month!

No the $5 credit was on my account before the bill hit. I had a $-5 balance and then this was $34 so my current balance is $29. I don't get where the $50 National Credit came from. I want to know only to keep it coming
dont worry, att will catch it and reverse it
Reps can be very generous sometimes. I doubt this will happen each month though.
I was credited $100 one month and got a free micro cell. I had no service what so ever in my house. Just out of the blue mine and my wife's phones quit working. Would have to go outside to get service. All is back working normal.
Fyi: micro cell is junk. Call quality was non existent. I would have 5 bars but it sounded like I was talking to aliens.

I wonder if they're giving out credits to HOX owners like they did with people who bought the Lumia. Might be compensation for the "Customs issue". I'm curious, where did you buy the HOX? At a corporate store or a reseller?

After they offered to replace their inferior product that is generic junk they opened a case with Ebay to block that return.
Ebay has blocked anyone leaving negative feedback for this seller as well.
Beware buying replacement parts from Ebay. You can't trust their ratings system.

This screen protector once applied was broken. Zero instructions and a horrible adhesive. I have replaced many parts on phones and this was the worst. After installing nothing shows on the screen at all. The device was working perfect other than a cracked screen. What do you suggest about fixing it? Nothing i can do about a cracked screen. It applied fine but cracked after snapping the device back together. It needs more instructions. I wanted to contact you before leaving a negative feedback and rating.
Thank you.

I didn't see anything under XDA rules about not posting a warning to users looking for cheap replacement parts.
Better to do what I usually do and just replace the device on Swappa.
Again not all swappa sellers are honest either. One seller sold me a device against Swappa policy and it is yet to be fixed. The seller in question has thousands of sales and says she didn't know listing policy.
