I'm not sure but I know usually they come with the original firmware and when you get it at the store they'll upgrade it for you and I'm sure you can ask them not to.

At my store the phones are still coming in as zv8

I had mine replaced and it still had ZV7 on it, but I activated it at home, not at the store. Doesnt matter anyways because even if someone gets ZV9 they can lgnpst right back to zv7 then root, and unlock.

ZV8 in store. ZV9 as replacements. For me.

it might depend on the store, and how long ago the device got shipped there. Because LG could start shipping them with ZV9, but if a store hasnt had much sales they might have a device with ZV8 still on it. (happened with my evo when 3 of us bought it at the same time)

Yea, we've had the ones in the store for a little bit.

They aren't selling great. Hence buy one get one free.

Sweet. I was wondering if any other third dealers were getting them. So far I had only heard of bestbuy and they didn't have it in stock yet.

I don't know how credible this information is, but the manager at my local Radioshack (in DFW) said that no retailer is getting the Sprint GNII before the 11th. Considering that the Note 2 is not being pushed heavily by any carrier and that even most Sprint stores only get a few at a time, this does sound pretty reasonable.
My distribution channel only has the Tmo version. I thought since they synced the launch day for Tmo theyd do the same with Sprint. Turns out there is a snafu with Sprint pushing out to third party distros. All my customers are waiting though because they know I have the best price anywhere. :highfive:

That's strange, I picked mine up at my Sprint store on 10/25 at 9 am, they had 15. I brought it to work, a coworker saw it and immediately wanted one. He erred and waited until he got off at 6:30 pm and visited three different stores who were all sold out for the day. He was pissed and ended up ordering it online. Its interesting because if you check other forums, folks have been picking them up at stores all over the country on 10/25.

BTW, my store is a Corporate store, don't know if that defeats your concern?
Two locations in the Milwaukee area only had 1-2 of the white left as of about 2PM. I had the last gray held for me at another store, visiting my closest one that I had set up an appointment for online.
I don't think Sprint realized how popular these would be.. Two nearby corporate stores sold out within 10 minutes of opening - Luckily, a third party store in my area received a shipment and held one for me.
Our local store is OOS today. I had to see it first before deciding to get one, so I ordered online.

Tele_sales at Sprint confirmed the 11th as well as the accounts management dept. They said the phone wasn't going to even be released until then. Weird to have 2 release dates. They obviously had no idea that this device is the best thing they have out, by a long shot.

My understanding is that Sprint wanted first dibs before selling through 3rd party retailers. I called my local sprint store (nashville) and was told that I could go in the store and have it shipped by Monday/Tuesday if I went today. I'm gonna hold out so I can go through Best Buy and not have to deal with mail-in rebates.

Optimus G shipping today from Att?

I pre-ordered my on the 16th, well last week I noticed on Att website, that order page for the Lg optimus G has in red that it says Orders are scheduled to ship on October 29, 2012. so I`m keeping my fingers cross that this actually happens today.

If you're able to cancel your order sometimes you can get it in store depending on the circumstances. General rule of thumb is preorders aren't fulfilled by store inventory.

Oh =/ I had to order through online because in store wouldn't renew my contract at one year like they said they would. So I wouldn't be able to cancel and go in store and get the phone. I guess I just have to wait till they get more in real bummer.
last time I pre-ordered or ordered on line, my phone didn't show shipped until the day of. In fact, I had one that arrived at my doorstep before my status even changed. Not to say that will apply here, but I'll expect my phone to arrive tomorrow unless told otherwise.
yeah no Shipping email here either, still says preorder- processing, I think I will call today and find out, if they don`t know when it will ship I will just cancel my pre-order and go to the store, or I might say screw it and buy the Nexus 4, I don`t need LTE.
My mom just called about mine and they are back ordered bad. A lot of people preordered in hopes of getting a day or two early, which caused them to be short.

The phone is pretty awesome, but if these early hands on impressions of the Nexus 4 are to be believed, that might be even better. You can't go wrong with a quad core for $299-$349. I am seriously thinking about getting a N4

If you have data to spare N4 is pretty solid.

It releases on 1st of May for T-Mobile. Some carriers are doing a pre-order special where if you pre-order you get it on 24th of April, but T-Mobile isn't one of the carriers I don't think.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Lets hope that we can take other carriers versions and flash them to T-Mobile since they're all the same... Why? Because I'm not paying 640 bucks for a phone. Sprint phones almost always end up on eBay much cheaper than retail.
If you have a GS3 there isn't really much of a point of upgrading to the GS4... I'd wait for the 3Q and 4Q devices to drop. This beast still has plenty of oomph in it...

Why? (asking legitimate question)
I thought the S3 and Nexus 4 were pretty much the same spec wise?
I had an LG phone before and had a terrible experience... And LG doesn't give a crap about customers with problems. In fact they (lg) went out of the way to erase Facebook complaints comments, etc... I seriously doubt I'd buy another LG device.

I'll be waiting to see what the Motorola X and what nexus devices launch. Also rumor or the Sony xperia line coming to Tmobile so I'm gonna check that out as well. No point in upgrading from s3 to s4.
I've seen the s4 in person since I work in a store and the Samsung rep brought it to us and it is a beautiful phone. The screen on it rivals that of my 42" Samsung TV as far as quality of picture. For anyone not already on an s3, it is a wonderful upgrade but I Dont see the point in going from s3 to s4 especially with s3 rooted on 4.2.2
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 2
I, too, have heard rumors about the Xperia line coming to T-Mobile and I am quite interested.
As for the Nexus 4, don't do it... The build quality is terrible... Just go play with one at a store... And as was said, LG makes terrible devices. The G2x was the biggest fail of a device I've seen in a long time - which really sucked given its potential. A lot of people really hate the Nexus 4. If you DO get one, make sure you get a super case for it.
I had an LG Optimus 3D. Suffered from Ghost calls and Ghost text. People would call, the line would ring on their side but the phone wouldn't make a peep. Same for text, they would send, but they would never get delivered to the phone. LG swept it under the rug. Erased the Facebook comments complaints. And to my knowledge never acknowledged the flaw or offered a solution. It's well documented in the lg forums right here on XDA.
After that I said I wouldn't buy another LG if I could avoid it. (never say Never... LOL)

Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
not sure how that is going to work since you just got the S3. i know they are doing new pricing plans, but i just got my daughter the iphone5 but since i was not up for a full upgrade i paid $200 down, but only pay $12 a month for it instead of $99 and $20 like advertised. you may have to lay out a lot of money to get the S4 now. it shows $149 down and $20 a month, but that is usually for new customers or those of us who have a full upgrade available
i could be wrong though
I dont see a point in upgrading from s3 to s4. but from s3 to note 3 that should be worth it. Well who knows the wife just got the new HT C ONE and its a good phone in my opinion but I had bad experience with the Amaze before. I think that if you are interested in roms Samsung is the way to go with. with its unlock bootloader out of the box and easy to dev with. When HTC you have to wait for S-OFF etc
Release for online just got pushed back to April 29th.
Smh!
Might as well wait till May 1st and get it at a store instead of dealing with shipping.

[Q] Tmobile Stores won't sell Note 3 until 10/3?!?

I have called two stores and one store says they have stock, but won't sell me a Note 2 until 10/3. I thought 10/2 was the release date. Heck I scheduled to be off tomorrow since Tmo wouldn't let me preorder since I was prepaid.
Can anyone confirm or deny the 10/3 release date?

I went to a different T-Mobile store in Queens, N.Y. and the guys there thought it was a joke and said some silly date. Come on how long have we seen the headlines "10/2" ?! . Luckily I read this blog and decided to give it another shot and call some T-Mobile stores in CT. I called first one in Norwalk, CT and the girl that picked up the phone confirmed they have the Note 3 in stock, black and white....ready for purchase tomorrow 10/2 !

Went to one store in Hempstead NY and they told me the 3rd (tomorrow) and then I went to the store in Freeport NY and got it.
i got mine too. :good:
I was told that it was tomorrow by store on 3rd ave in New York but called the one on Madison and they had one walked there and got my black note 3.
Walked into the store just down from my house, and grabbed one with no issues. Looks like the shipments to Ok came through with out and issue.

Geek Squad Protection...WORTH IT

Well, as a few of you may or may not know, I bricked my LGOG (running dirty unicorns 4.3) and couldnt get into LGNPST or recovery. Anyways, I took it to best buy and at first, they werent going to replace it because they said if its after the first two weeks of purchase, it has to be shipped out and exchanged. We (my mom and I) called the Geek squad corporate line to get some more info because one person told us it would have to be replaced with a refurbished phone. That makes no sense, why have insurance if youre just going to give me something used, right? Well, after we read them the paperwork that was given to us with the purchase of our insurance, they confirmed that it would be a brand new LGOG.
Turns out, the LGOG is on back order so they said if it's not here in a MAX of 10 days, I can come into the bestbuy and pick out a phone of my choice that day and keep it. I'm probably gonna go with the G2 or that gorgeous blue HTC One (Although, id be happy with another LGOG, anything is better than this Nexus S 4G i have to use)
At any rate, I just wanted to tell you all what happened, in case you have geeksquad insurance and didnt know what they would do if you bricked your phone and couldnt fix it yourself. I only posted because i know when i went looking for answers i couldnt find any clear ones.
Seems like the geek squad insurance is really worth getting. When I do get to upgrade I will definitely be checking out bestbuy.
Are you able to get the Geeksquad insurance at any time, and do you have to go through Best Buy?

Ah, bummer. Makes sense, though.
I haven't bought anything from Best Buy in... probably 10+ years.
I dropped my phone, cracked screen, non-responsive to touch. I am getting a refurb in the next day or 2. No mention of a backorder to me. Best part is that it wont cost me a penny.
Of like kind. Is what it says and i've become rather familiar with the reasons for that. New or refurbished. If it is backordered for 14 of it being checked in then it is a new phone of like kind. And im rather familiar with the rules.

I have geek squad insurance for my OG

We just got my wife an S4 a few weeks ago and found out they no longer do free replacement, there is a deductible now.
The program looses 100m a year. They are trying to stem the bleeding. That is why there are charges now.

Regarding Geek Squad Protection
Before some point mid Oct. they used to cover screens for minimal cost @40 now it is $150. Other than that still worthwhile.

Yeah I got the old insurance. I just sent out the LGOG I JUST got back due to a Security error lol. I was trying to restore an old EFS but ended up relocking my boot loader. So now I'm stuck on a Nexus S until November 13th. If my LGOG isn't back then I'll be getting a Nexus 5 or G2.
