WooT 8 AM sharp my V30 order with T-Mobile has been placed, with a ship date of 10/5-10-6. Of course I selected overnight shipping....Ill keep everyone updated.
FYI the website for the LG /Daydream promo is:
http://www.lg.com/us/mobile-phones/v30/promotion
After fighting with the live reps who didn't even know what the phone was and couldn't find it in the system, I finally gave up and placed my pre-order online. I got a window of today through the 9th for shipping. Really hoping it does go out today so I can test the cameras over the weekend.
---------- Post added at 12:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:53 PM ----------
Looks like the promo isn't live yet but if I remember right, we needed to have the IMEI number to get the V20 headphone promo.
My rep, Denise, was great. she knew all info, had me order online, instead of on phone, saving me a service fee. She also informed me of how to order the Daydream promo via website.
As I am currently phoneless, and stuck in the dark ages (how did I survive the '70s and '80s) I too hope it ships ASAP

You preordered a carrier version?

Yes, I'm on T-Mobile so just to make sure I got a version that supports the new bands, I decided to go that route. (That and I like the EIP option.)
Pre-Ordered Mine online today with TMO... The Pixel XL was tempting but I like the IP68, DAC, dual camera, and SD card slot. Hope to enjoy this phone for the 2 years and hope for a quick Oreo update to it.
I like that Google Lens from the event yesterday. I am wondering how/if that could be used on the V30. I'm not really into rooting it as I have Citrix Secure Mail on it for work...
Coming from the Moto X Pure 2015 which still does NOT have 7.0 on it and the battery is starting to lag on it as well. Time for an update for sure. My cheap Asus ZenPad has 7.0 on it for months.. Really disappointed with Moto on the updates, I know there must have been issues with 7.0 and the build for the Moto X... Oh well not my problem anymore!!
Glad to be back on XDA and will monitor the forums for cases and screen protectors...

As long as there isn't anything weird where Lens requires something in Oreo, we will likely see Lens in 2-3 months. (Probably after the new year, if I were a betting man.)
Are we getting the new daydream or the old?
Mine shipped...Have it my grubby little hands tomorrow!
let us to know if:
1. has Unlocked bootloader
2. has FM Radio tuner built in

No. Let us know if it has ADB flash commands with an unlocked bootloader. For the LG G6, T-Mobile/LG let the bootloader be "unlocked", but removed all the ADB flash commands. So, as of this date there's still no root, no TWRP, etc. for the T-Mobile LG G6.
See this post for more info:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=73652182
Like being given the keys to a sports car, but there's no car.
The unlocked bootloader does no good. The phone is still basically locked down.
I would bet they will do the same with the T-Mobile LG V30. Hope I'm wrong.
Woo hoo! Mine too! Unfortunately, my case won't be here until Saturday. I'm going to be freaking out until then. I've already watched a few videos of how well GG5 fares in drop tests. Won't get to run it through any tests until Saturday though.

Ordered mine first thing this morning... now says shipped via overnight delivery at Tmo. UPS has the label entered with tracking number. I assume I will see it tomorrow.
I called T-Mobile and customer rep gave me free overnight. Always call in. They also give free sim card instead of charging $25 if you need it.
My status just changed to SHIPPED!!!! Not sure if UPS will pick it up tonight though. Just label created and tracking number. I'm sure I'll get it by Monday.:fingers-crossed:
I called at 8am sharp and rep was not able to find the phone. I was on the call for 15 mins. Language barrier I knew right away was going to be a problem. I finally got pissed and hung up on her and called back. It was 8:30 by this time. Got a rep that got the order in. However, I have 10/5-10/9 with a status of processing. I have overnight shipping though. I'm pissed I won't have it for the weekend.

Yup, I also tried calling in right when orders opened and ended up wasting almost an entire half hour with someone who had no idea what I was talking about before hanging up and just ordering from the website. The front line reps these days are worthless on the phone and on social media.

I should have done online. I have been seeing where people are getting their phones today. I was wondering why I didn't get any tracking info. WELP....The jackoff didn't give me overnight, so it's comes on Tuesday. I called in to find out what she charged me for if it's not coming. The rep tells me the device isn't releasing until the 13th and when it ships on Monday, I'll have it Tues, which isn't the 13th. he also told me no one is getting them today. I told him he was totally clueless what his own company is doing and he's a supervisor. Ugh!
I guess it just depends on the rep you get on the phone. The one I spoke with knew all about upcoming phones, we talked about the Pixel launch while waiting for his computer to process. I checked status and I'll have my phone today!!! On schedule for delivery. I was not expecting it until next week. Weird how the local store rep told me they had them in the store but he could not sell one to me. That makes no sense. Call in they ship it but can't buy one in the store even though they have them in the back.

Totally the roll of the dice I have found after about 5 calls to them over the last month. 2 out of 5 times I got a smart and informed one. I suggest if you feel you are not getting anywhere with one of them, dont let them learn on the job with you. Hang up and call in again.

Ouch! That's just about the same experience I had last year with the V20 and T-Mobile. Rep that helped me didn't even offer overnight and some people were claiming that they were just upgraded to it. So I assumed I had been too. Then the forums started lighting up with people who had ordered getting shipping notices. At first, they were all times before my order time but then as the day progressed, it rolled well past me by hours. Calling in, I got the same run around as you did. Their processes for orders/upgrades suck! Supposedly once you order, you're locked into whatever choices you made. Which is asinine this day and age. I sent an email in that somehow ended up at the Executive Response division. Guess what I said wasn't really taken to heart though because I complained about pretty much every complaint I've seen surrounding this launch too.

I ordered it online on October 25, and today called ATT and they told me it's on back order. When will it ship? They don't know. Sounds familiar...
All the 3 phones in my plan are out of contract so I am free to choose any carrier. Been with ATT since 2004, a bit too long I guess.
So I am thinking of this: cancel my pre-order, and walk into BestBuy on Nov 9, and whoever has the Note II on the shelf will win the bid and become my next carrier.
Call them back... be extremely polite. If you get a script reader, just hangup and call back.
Eventually, you'll get a non-script person... Explain how this presents a hardship to you. Explain that you actually had to take a day off of work due to unreliable UPS/FedEx deliveries (or people stealing deliveries.. or whatever.) Chat with the customer service rep. Make them feel important.
Perhaps AT&T can give you a credit of $100 to help offset the time you are losing from work due to their error? (I'm not going to tell you how often this has worked for me.. )
Then, watch as your phone is delivered on the 9th anyway.
Oh, and they are all showing as "back-ordered" in their system until the moment they switch to "shipped." That tends to happen when you PRE-order a phone.
Take care
Gary
Thanks for the advice. It looked like I ran into a script reader in the first run. I will give it another try. If it still doesn't work I will tell them Verizon just called and I mean it LOL.

On the web pages for my order, it says "Processing", "Pending Shipment", and "Preorder Processing". It doesn't say "back-ordered". But maybe that's the term the customer support staff use.

I got the same info x2h but, i was also told 5000+ units have already arrived.
To clarify a bit, the order status for my Note 2 on the web page is "Preorder Processing". However when I called AT&T, the person said it's back ordered, meaning I will not get it on the November 9 date as previously announced.
So when will I get it? I asked.
"We will let you know".
Yeah right.
Don't give up hope. Keep following up on your order status via website. ATT customer service reps tend to make up things sometimes. Source - I'm an ex-att cust. service rep.
As horrible as it sounds, your forum members are right in telling you to rep shop (keep calling back to get the rep you want). ATT doesn't like this as it hogs up their queue, but sometimes it needs to be done to get the job done right.
Well heres the update. tried calling them two more times and I can't even get to a real person, after waiting forever. I am canceling it. Guess I will stick to my WM HD2 a little longer.

Thanks for that my friend. It shows me the same status of "Processing" or "In progress", which means nothing. Good to know others are getting shipping confirmation. I am hoping to bring this phone with me on an International trip on 11/11, now it looks like I am screwed. Thank you AT&T.

Several people have hit AT&T up for credits. Do some digging and then hit them on their bottom line.

I pre-ordered over the phone on 11/5. Just checked my status and it shows shipped from Fort Worth, TX and will arrive by the 9th.
I ordered through premiere with a company discount if that makes any difference.
My phone is backordered also
Preordered 10/25
They originally stated shipping 11/06
The next person stated they ran out and it was a first come first serve basis. That was a lie. If you look at their own forum
on att's website, you will see people who ordered way after and their phone is shipping.
Now they state they will start shipping 11/09, and that just means they will start shipping more orders which doesn't guarantee mine.
They violated their own policy of "first come, first serve" as stated on their own site when you preorder.
AT&T customer service departments do not have integration at all. Their logistics execution is horrible.

Are you planning on purchasing in store on launch day? I would've asked for credit towards my future bills for the inconvenience.
I ordered early Nov and yesterday I was told the same thing about being backordered . I called and chatted about 10 times. The reps are completely clueless (I'm guessing its not their fault they just dont get good info). Well around 10pm my order went from processing to shipped and I will receive phone today (according to fedex tracking - i paid the $15 for overnight). I am happy now, but I was pissed all day yesterday. I need to get a life.
well here's the latest update again. I canceled my preorder online last night. this morning an email comes in that my cancel was "unsuccessful". and then another emails that says my phone has been shipped, with FedEx tracking number. it has just left the Texas wharehouse. Expected delivery Nov 9 by 4:40 pm.
I am going to return it and tell them to put it on backorder.
OK one last update. Took the advice of others and called AT&T one last time. And the result is surprising:

You mean to tell men you've been with ATT since 2004 and you haven't learned to not call their service and NEVER rely on their answers? Preorderd 10/25 and it got here 11/08 10am.
They are clueless and don't know any more than what their website tells them.
And to those in the thread that seem to think otherwise, November 6 was the *Estimated* ship date. Nowhere was that day written in stone.

Anybody know yet if full price purchases are included, or upgrades only? No consistent answer from BB yet and not a peep from Samsung. More and more this seems like a "shoot from the hip" effort by Samsung with little thought other than a knee jerk response to try and stem the market-share bleeding due to the iPhone 6 and the iPhone Plus Bendy.

Hi there, @rushless - Please post questions in the Q&A section - thanks.
The $200 gift card only applies if you TRADE IN an existing smartphone. I don't believe it excludes phones purchased at full cost, but I'm not 100% certain.
The gift card is a Best Buy thing, so I'm not sure why you're expecting Samsung to chime in. Samsung is offering their own similar promotion, however. If you activate a new Note 4 and trade in an existing smartphone elsewhere, Samsung will cut you a check for $200 - $(trade in value of phone), provided you send them proof.
Samsung is working with best buy on this one, so we get the best buy $200 gift cert. Instead of the $200 rebate check.
That works for me, since we'll get the full purchase amount on our best buy credit cards, and will earn reward zone credits based on that amount. ($20 on two phones, I I'll turn around and just apply the gift cert. In store as a payment on our credit card once we complete the sale.
The deal only works with a two year contract. That is how the process works and was verified by Best Buy and how their sales system is set up. Samsung regional rep also confirmed that is how Best Buy is doing it.
Samsung also stated that is how it should work for everyone else, but by the way Samsung set the process up for the others, not sure how they can control that. Looks like Samsung is going to have a big cluster
fook on their hands.
So I just got back from BB and I went all through the process and everything was going perfectly AND THEN I get to the very end where they are gonna place the pre-order for my black note 4 for me and the computer would not let them do it... they told me "the system has turned off pre-orders for both the black and white note 4" I asked to speak to a manager and he said he does not know if they hit their limit or if it is a technical problem and he took my info and is going to call me back (unlikely). I cannot see how they could have hit their limit as the girl that helped me told me when I got there that they have not had many pre-orders at all and she was excited to take my order!!! I cannot believe this, I am so pissed off right now... I am going to try another more reliable BB tomorrow morning but I am afraid that the result will be the same.... ;-/ I have not heard ANYONE ELSE having THIS issue.... UNREAL...

I just checked online, and it looks like the preorders are blocked online as well now. could be they are sold out already, which is odd, because our local store has very few preorders.
I wonder if you could preorder at our store and have it moved to your local store?

It HAS to be a technical problem!!! The manager I spoke to said each store has their own separate limit so I really doubt that is the issue here...

I'm in Wilmington, DE. The only advantage getting from BestBuy is you get the money right away. We can get the promotion from everywhere because the promotion is run by Samsung, so I'm not sweating. I think BB stopped this globally for Verizon note 4, they removed the preorder option from the website, however, not for AT&T and others.

Verizon note 4 was never on the website for pre-order... i checked every single day for the past 3 weeks, so they did not remove anything, it was never there... and I am still betting on something wrong with the system... I am not waiting for a check from samsung that might not even come for 6-8 weeks, BB HAS TO HONOR THE ADVERTISEMENT CONSIDERING THEY ARE STILL PUTTING THAT FRIGGIN SIGN OUTSIDE EACH MORNING RIGHT NOW. I GUARANTEE YOU I GET THEM TO TAKE MY PRE ORDER ONE WAY OR ANOTHER. WATCH ME.
According to a Samsung chat I had yesterday, the $200 off the note 4 with a old phone DOES work when buying note 4 at full price. Just had a chat yesterday. Best buy did tell me it had to be upgrade but straight Samsung, they said it works full retain at Best Buy.
Sent from my VS985 4G using XDA Free mobile app
Full price should work, with caveat
So if you check out the fine-print on the best buy preorder site (can't post the link because I'm a lurker...) it does not say you have to sign a new 2-year agreement. There IS another Best Buy site that indicates "must be eligible for upgrade," but does NOT explicitly state that you have to sign a new agreement. I'll be picking up my pre-ordered full-price (no new contract) Verizon Note 4 tomorrow around noon Eastern, and hope they don't try to insist a new contract is necessary for the $200 trade-in deal (I am eligible for an upgrade, but want to keep my unlimited data). If they do, I'll be calling my state attorney general to complain. I am not a lawyer, but the fine print published online does not indicate a new carrier agreement is necessary, nor does it point to a location where such a statement is made.

Upgrade eligibility means your line is nearing the end of its service agreement and you qualify for subsidized pricing. Both youmention are saying the same thing. The promotion requires a 2 yr agreement and trade in of any working device in the best buy trade in system. I used to work for best buy as a mobile phones sales lead on and off over the years as s part time job.
I traded in my S5 today. Got $245 for it. I paid $250 for it off of Clist 3 weeks ago and got 2 otter box cases, 64GB micro SD card and two chargers so I can sell the cases and the chargers if I want. BestBuy matched Verizon's $699 price and I got $245 off instantly for my trade-in. Walked out the door paying $494. I have mine on the Verizon Allset prepaid plan.
No upgrade or new activation here and I got the $200 off plus they matched Verizon at $699 and the manager told me to keep my trade-in. He tried to pull that BS with upgrade but he changed his mind about 5 minutes later. Out the door at $482

Oh ok. I thought somehow I may have gotten screwed.
For those still looking to get G3 or potentially pick up another, Staples has the T-Mobile G3 on sale today for $499. Also, if you search around, you may find an additional 10% off coupon. If so, this would bring it down to $450 for 32GB version.

Just figured I'd post deal here for some folks.

Where are you seeing a 10% off coupon? I searched but haven't found anything.
At $450, it is a really good deal, I'll buy two.

Yes I would, they are Christmas gifts for (myself and) my family.
Two years ago, I bought GS3s for myself plus 3 others. Last year, I bought them all GS4s, with the requirement that they give me back the S3s (which I sold). So basically as a Christmas gift, I essentially perform an upgrade for them lol.
I already have a G3, though I didn't sell my S4 this time. I kept it and I use it as an around-the-house phone thanks to the new Hangouts.
And thanks for the info on this deal. I decided to pick up only one for now, as I'm thinking something might come about on Black Friday or closer to Christmas...

Thanks for the code. I actually found the email from Staples in my spam folder with a code in it.
So if someone still wants this code, I did not need it...
I wonder if T-Mo would price match? I'm still within 30 days.

t-mobile won't match for new or old purchases, people have tried
Edit: Claimed
If someone wants to purchase this phone then PM me and I'll give you a 10% off Staples code. $450 is pretty sweet. Must have over 10 Thanks.
Everyone who is using their phone on T-mobile could you please log in to your account online and see what it says for what kind of phone you are using.
Mine says the following:
LG G3 - METALLIC BLACK - CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED
If that is correct staples sold us a used phone under the advertisement of a new one.
Please post your result asap, I will be calling t-mobile to inquire.
Update:
Talked to T-Mobile and the customer service rep says that it might just be a glitch. If no one else reports this issue I won't worry about it. Please let us know what your's says.

Thanks for the info. I was pretty sure but always good to double check.
I decided to buy one as well. Working out of the box here on AT&T.
I hear Verizon will start selling it again on the 21st but I read elsewhere that people who haven't owned a note 7 yet will have to wait until October 21st..

Yeah. Verizon said I could order it right now. I'm worried to bcuz of everything I read about scratches and a gap between the screen and the metal... Also heard a lot about lag. Idk what to do.
I'm in South GA. I just walked in to my local Verizon store and bought a note 7. No questions asked. Just showed me all 3 colors and sold me one. They said they only had about 10 units. Not sure if I believe that. This was a corporate Verizon store...not a digital express....
Anyone know where I could but a screen protector that works and a case? No best buy in this town. I want a case and a protector immediately so it doesn't get any scratches.
I had VZW upgrade one of my other lines. New Note 7 shipped already, will be here in the morning.

Called in earlier today and had 2 new Note7's shipped to my house FedEx 2 day and I can just drop off my 2 OG Note7's once I'm done transferring everything over. They'll be here Thursday! I should have fought for overnight lol! Dammit!
My note gets here tmrw. I'm excited but also nervous that I won't like it.
In Wichita, the corporate stores got shipments 9/20 and 9/21, at least. Total of 25 units at the west location, as of when I swapped mine around noon 9/21. They were not making them available for new customers, only replacements. There were 3 of us getting replacements while I was there.
I've not noticed any differences between the new unit and my old one IRT battery life or build quality. It seems they've done more in the Tuesday push update than checking for the new units and displaying the green battery. I can't get into. SystemUI anymore...long press on the gear icon from quick settings just doesn't work. So for now, no dark UI. The white menus are jarring at night!
So went to my local TMobile store today to pick up a v30, and they have none in stock and then told me they can't sell in store till the 15th. Showed them the tmonews that showed on sale in stores today and they had no idea. Called the store in the next town, they told me they don't go on sale till the 17th. Looks like I'll have to order online as no one knows what's going on. I'm not happy at all.
Update: I've called every store within a 50 Mike radius and not one store had this phone in stock.
Pretty much what to expect in a store ....
Talk to someone on the phone, more likely to waive any fees and throw in overnight shipping.
Same issue here. I've called every store within driving distance and not a single one has them in stock and none of them seem to know when they'll be getting them. It's pretty frustrating.
I had previously made up my mind to go with the V30 with my JUMP! On-Demand, rather than buying the Pixel 2 XL. However, LG's inability to properly launch a phone/stock carrier shelves with their phones on the date that they promised has me re-thinking my decision. LG just may have lost my money with this B.S.

If this were an iPhone or a Galaxy phone, TMobile employees would be tripping over themselves to sell you one. With this they don't even seem to care.
Update: take a look at TMobile's Twitter feed. People are pissed.
Two closest stores to me said they never recieved any units.

I've been searching all morning in the San Mateo CA area, and nobody has them in stock. Each person keeps telling me next week. I correct them and tell them it's released today, then they check and confirm it's indeed released but they don't carry it yet. Call customer service, blah blah blah. What a shame that LG can't get this launch right.

I'm pretty sure it's TMobile that **** the bed on this one. AT&T and Verizon have the V30 in stock at their stores.
Funny. I thought i was the only one who felt this way today. I call 90% of all the corporate stores in new york and nj. Even waited for today shipment to arrive and noone got it. They have a paper which claim. The release day is 13.. today. Dont know if is tmobile or lg not suoplying enought unit but base on marketing and how they are handleling the v30 right now is going to be disappointing selling device. Im actually wanted to switch my note 8 for this phone and after spending so many hours i have decided not to get it.
Before u asked. Yes note 8 is better. Already played with the lg v30. But i take the v30 more comfortable size. Hifi dac, non curve screen, right place finger print. Face unlock (WITH SCREEN OFF).
They are getting raked over the coals on this on their FB post. Of course the reps are acting like everything is fine.

Link? Curious to see this.
EDIT: Never mind. Found it.
LG doesn't seem to realize how much money they lose by not having their devices available on the launch date that they set with the carrier. It's such a momentum swing in the wrong direction for them. By this time next week, the V30 will have been forgotten in the minds of many because LG failed to get it into the hands of those who will sing it's praises and get more people into stores to buy the phone. The S8 and S8+ were readily available at T-Mobile on their set launch date, as well as the newest iPhone 8's. Which leads me to believe that this is solely on LG and not a screw up by T-Mobile.
Had the Samsung S8 not been available on its release date, I would have gone with a different phone. LG not having the V30 on launch day is going to push many, such as myself, to go a different direction.
LG can't expect to try and keep up with Samsung and Apple by pulling this crap.

I thought it was just a T-Mobile thing but it looks like someone tried to get a V30+ from Sprint in one of the other threads. They went through the whole process to only find out the only unit in store is the floor model.

I tried the same thing and none of the stores near me had any stock. I did get a chance to play with the store model for about 10 minutes and I was very happy with it. Didn't see any banding at low brightness either!
I guess that I'll go ahead and order online. Too bad that Tmo only has silver to sell as I sure would have loved the black one.

And my phone has shipped. Hoping for tomorrow, but will probably be Monday.
Got out of work expecting to pick up one of these bad boys, only to be on the same boat as all of you.
The weird thing is that I spoke to the staff at the tmo near me and they told me that they were going to have the phone today. Today they told me that they received an email regarding the absence of the phones so even they were fooled.
