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.

Thought I might ask here, am I the only person not able to order this phone? After two days, and hours on the phone, whenever I place my pre-order, I get a confirmation email...and then seconds later, I get a cancellation email. You can't pre-order this over the phone or in stores...is there some special number I don't know about, to call and get this issue resolved? I've literally had an AT&T service rep tell me that they will just continue to cancel my order, and I'm out of luck.
I've thought about trying with bestbuy, but I have unlimited data, and Bestbuy (online) doesn't give an option to upgrade to the unlimited LTE add on.

I had the same problem Oct 25, as I was ordering 2 Notes, one full price and one for my wife with 2 year renewal. I also spent an hour on the phone, ATT couldn't figure it out. I finally thouhgt I would order one at a time. First I ordered the full price Note and received a confirmation email, then I ordered my wife's with discount for the 2 year contracrt, again confirmation. This time, it worked, so both ordered and confirmed for 11/6 ship date. Now if you were ordering only one, no idea, but finally worked for me by ordering only one at a time.

Yeah, I'm only ordering one. And I'm not going to risk being charged 700 dollars, when I'm trying to upgrade at the discount price. I see a few other people have had the same problem, but there aren't any solutions posted. Unfortunately, ATT just says to wait and buy it in a store, which isn't an option for me. Long story short, it's a gift and the person buying it is half a country away. And it's bs that I'd have to wait even longer, due to their crappy system haha.

Really makes no sense and I agree with you. Why did I have to split my order to get both, ATT didn't even know.
Good luck.
Having a lot of problems getting the phone as well. Tried to pre-order it online only to have it either give me an error, or give me a *$399* price instead of $299. On-the-phone reps had no clue, told me I could go to a store to preorder it. Store had no clue, said there's nothing in their system about it. "We won't sell out, just come in on the 9th and get it here." URGH. Such a giant waste of time.
Reps told me to come in as well. I asked if they thought there would be a line guy said usually not for samsung. I asked what time they opened he said 9 I said ill be here at 8.

You'd be doing whats called an alternate upgrade. Basically upgrading your dads line to the note 2 then putting his original phone back on his line and putting the equipment on your line (note 2) if his old phone did not need data before it won't add data. I do these at least once a day with no complications. It's incredibly easy and done more often than regular upgrades are. And you shouldn't have to call and cancel anything. Just have the associate doing the upgrade make sure and show you that your dads original equipment has been returned to his line.
I wish the employees at my lo Al vest buy could figure out how to do an alternate upgrade. I tried to do one last month on my wife's line and none of them could figure it out. I just took the phone to an att store after I left best buy to get it taken care of.

You might have an incompatible rate plan code. Apparently I had an old rate plan with an old code that the instant savings discount didn't recognize. I got all of this info from someone on AT&T live chat. They told me to call Premier and tell them to update the code and that they'll know what I'm talking about. 5 minutes later I was able to get the $100 discount and my preorder was in.

Dumb s? Really now...look at your own GD website. It doesn't give the option to upgrade to unlimited LTE, it just gives the option to not CHANGE anything. It does not clarify if that will upgrade to the unlimited LTE add on.
Look at your own site before *****ing. No wonder no one takes Best Buy seriously lol...
As for everyone else, I got a higher tier customer service, and they can't figure it out. It's basically FUBAR'd. In more detail, they said that the order isn't even making it through. That they, for some reason, don't believe I'm me. So I'll have to take care of it through a bit more complicated way.
Good luck for anyone else trying to order from ATT. I went on their forums, and I'm not the only one dealing with this hassle lol.

Heh, just got off the phone with support. We tried two different credit cards, both are empty not used very often, and it denied both then locked the account. She said I'd have to go to a store to show two forms of id to unlock the account. Yea, their system is ****ed up.
Preordering is a major waste of time. Yet another advantage of not being a iPhone user is not having to order early just to try and get it delivered day 1.
I can see certain situations where you might want to buy online and have it delivered to someone half a country away as a gift, but on the whole there is no incentive to do it.
The phones will be in stock unless their delivery didn't arrive on time. As great a phone as the Notes are, they are still in a fairly niche market. Not many people like the idea of this massive phone. People still freak out when they see me pull my phone out. My buddies will give me even more crap with the bigger screen when I get mine in a few days.
Best Buy handles everything very quickly. If you have a standalone Best Buy Mobile location near you, go there. My experience has always been better there, but that's just my experience. Less lines, less crowded.

That reminds me. I need to call geek squad again. They've been double charging my card for my protection plan every other month or so. I think this will be call number 9 to get them to fix it, again... :silly: Started when my OG Droid's touch screen died, and verizon wouldn't do anything to help me out, so I ditched them and went back to at&t. Got the Dell Streak because the Atrix wasn't out yet. 29 days later the Atrix dropped, so I swapped over to that. They "canceled" the protection plan and started it up on the new phone, but the Streak plan is haunting my account. It just won't go away. The geeks at BB can't do anything, I always have to call their customer support.

Anyone know why Tmobile stopped carrying the HTC 10?
Due to the enormous failure of the m9 from last year and poor sales, tmobile stopped carrying htc devices in store. And now it seems they dont even carry them at all. Due to poor demand and low sales.

I highly doubt that lol. Sounds like a comment left by a samsung boy or samsung employee. This happened a while back it disappeared off their web site due to being out of stock then went back on. If you want to order one call tmobile and I"am sure you can place an order on the phone. And from what I know personally that tmobile stores are small so they may not carry many heck my area of Ohio does not even have a tmobile store for 50 miles because they basically have no service here in this area.

Actually no, I am an HTC fan. I have the m9 and m10. And low sales and low demand ARE the reason tmobile does not carry htc devices in store. Per several tmobile employees. I also live in Ohio and had to order mine online. Hopefully with the success of the 10, tmobile will start to carry them in store again.
Lol no. T-Mobile said it was a glitch and are looking to put it back on the site. Nothing to do with sale figures....no need to spread rumors.

They are likely just getting small amounts, they have been in limited quantities since launch often showing as back order with 8+ week shipping estimates. About two weeks back they popped back up showing as in stock and I was able to grab one, probably pulled the website listing when sold out. There may be a very small amount reserved for telesales department and worth the try if you really want one.

I've contacted both T-Mobile and HTC neither has a true answer. I reached out to head guy of T-Mobile and said he is unsure why. My guess is due to a possible manufacturing problem they couldn't keep up. T-Mobile didn't remove stock from stores they just never received a new shipment. There are several stores near me that has them.
I just got my HTC 10 from T Mobile last week. Online store. Traded my S7 Edge for it.

I doubt its poor sales or demand. I was trying to grab one from BestBuy yesterday, instore because their site is sold out, and the rep said they have zero at the warehouse and no BestBuy in Michigan or the five surrounding states have any in stock.
I saw him searching through the computer and the inventory everywhere was all zeros. They took so long to get them in I stopped checking for awhile and now they all dried up.
For the record, I need to purchase it via BestBuy credit which is why I was trying to go there.

I dont feel like replying to all of u so here goes.
First, If the website had a "glitch" dont you think they would fix it already? we are talking about a multi million dollars corporation not a mom and pop phone company. The news you reported regarding a "glitch" happen on july 20th, its august 7th now...so yea 17+ days and no fix?
Second, if the phone was low in stock they would still have the phone as an options, it would just be label as "back ordered", which highly unlikely since Samsung and Apple never ran into that problem when the phone has been out for several months.
Third, are you really surprise that the sales are bad? I mean cmon, this has been going on for years! you gotta be blind to not see it, HTC been losing money since HTC M7 and M8. all you gotta do is Google HTC stock ticker or Google HTC sales figures.
Fourth, I'm not a "sammy" fanboy as I do own an HTC 10 (I still do, I'm using it now till my S7 edge come back from repairs) and I did own an HTC one M8 as well as HTC HD2 and several other HTC product. I also own samsung, sony, apple and other phones. If you call people a Sammy fanboy then honestly what does that make you?
P.s be careful who you listen to in this thread, Lots of HTC employees in here. Cant blame them, if my jobs were on the line I would spread lies too.
I reached out to them asking if they were still selling it and if they planned to continue supporting the device with updates and got a response of:
"Hey Bill I hear you! I did some research with our teams here and I was not able to find anything indicating that we will not be supporting the HTC 10 It is currtently out of stock on our site, but we are planning on having it available again. We do not have any information yet when it will be available in stock again for order. Thanks again for checking with us on this! Let me know if there is anything else that I can take care of for you! *TimothyR"
I will say it's a bit concerning if they do get rid of it like this (like the Sony Xperia Z3 disappearing very unceremoniously from T-Mobile's site), we may also see no further updates of firmware, etc for the T-Mobile HTC 10 either, as I seem to remember them discontinuing updates on the Z3 after they stopped carrying that as well.
Only reason I am skeptical to believe them is that I've never seen a device that is "out of stock" just stop showing up on their site altogether. Usually it says "out of stock" with either a release time expected or "unknown"...

I can make my own assumption as well and negate what T-Mobile officially said regarding their site.
What if nobody bought it from T-Mobile because they instead bought it from HTC directly. Let's face it, what is the point of paying full price from T-Mobile when you can just buy it from HTC which comes with uh-oh. It's not like T-Mobile has any contract prices (subsidie) or promotions other than Jump anyway. It was available on HTC.com before T-Mobile anyways. Maybe T-Mobile knew that it couldn't really compete so that's why it included a few charger and case?

Your every day average consumer will purchase the device directly from their carrier and the thought of buying directly from the manufacturer never even crosses their mind. Furthermore, by purchasing from the carrier you are able to make payments and, like you mentioned, you're paying the same price anyway... would you rather pay ~$28/mo for 2 years or ~$700 all at once?

They both offer monthly installments. So maybe people shouldn't make assumptions and just pay attention to the facts, which was given by T-Mobile? I mean, what goes to show whose assumptions are correct when we don't have any facts for the matter?
The point I was making (and why I made that post) was what makes my assumptions any less credible than others who also make "claims" without knowing the actual, real reason.
Main point is: Be helpful and provide information when you know facts instead of misleading through assumptions. What if they buy an alternative to the 10 based on what was said, later to find out it was a glitch as they said. Now someone's assumption just costed that person several hundred dollars. I like to be considerate of others, especially when it comes to financial choices.

I don't see anything about making payments from HTC unless you're talking about PayPal Credit for which you'll pay interest on if you don't pay it off in a year rather than 2 years through the carrier.

You should not be spreading rumors as your just guessing and you have no facts to support one word of what you said so everything you said was 0% based on facts so you cant say this was due to low sales. And this whole thread should be deleted because its a statement saying tmobile stopped selling the Htc 10 and not saying I think they might have. When you list something like that your saying its true then you should have the facts to back it up and that documentation was not provided as until it is then it does not exist and is nothing more than an unsubstantiated rumor.
Let me put on record, that my Note 7 has been awesome, not a single problem, unlike other posts I've seen here and around the net, my battery life has been AMAZING! Like 3 1/2 hour convo on the phone last night and only suffered a 10% battery drain amazing, I have yet to see this phone go below 49% after a full days use (work and using it at home to watch videos and surf the net.)
UI has snagged here and there but quickly fixes itself and the battery hasn't even remotely gotten warm during charging (Charge all night at home on Samsung Fast Charger Wireless Stand and the few times I've charge at work for a few minutes, its been on the original non fast Samsung charge disc) and it hasn't gotten even warm with a chunk of Gear VR play (Decided to lay low on the VR play since the recall though lol) so needless to say, I'm loving the Note 7, its sad to see anyone else have a different experience.
With that being said, I don't want to push it, as far as I'm reading it seems there doesn't exactly have to be a warning sign for the battery to just go up in flames, and I guess if I don't have to I'm not gonna chance it happening. And when Samsung said within a week or 2 the replacements would be available I was all about holding on to it in the meantime, but it seems that the replacements aren't gonna be ready in that time frame. And I'd prefer not to burn my house down lol.
So my question is to anyone who had to exchange their Note 7 at Best Buy, I know we have to deal directly with whoever we purchased the Note 7 from and I'm sure I'm not the only one who grabbed mine at Best Buy on launch day.
Did they do an exchange and are they offering a "Loaner" phone?
According to AT&T whom I just spoke with, they stated that Best Buy SHOULD exchange my device and give a Loaner Phone like an S7 Edge or something to use in the meantime, and if they don't then I need to call AT&T on the phone and have the Best Buy employee speak directly to the AT&T rep ... sounds simple right? Well anyone who has ever dealt with BB knows they are usually hard to deal with, and I've read posts stating that some BB stores were pretending like they didn't even have a recall notice and denying the customers Note 7.
So i figured before I waste my time and come within inches of wanting to choke out a blue shirt from pure frustration, I'd see if anyone here has had success in exchanging their Note 7 for a LOANER phone, that when once the new Note 7 batch arrives we can swap back out?
Thanks for any help!
Here is their Note 7 recall webpage (which will be handy when you bring the Note 7 into their brain dead staff who'll have no clue)
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/clp/galaxy-note7-information/pcmcat748302046994.c?id=pcmcat748302046994
Exchange current Galaxy Note7 device with a new Galaxy Note7 (when product becomes available).
Exchange current Galaxy Note7 for a Galaxy S7 or Galaxy S7 edge and replacement of any Note7-specific accessories with a refund of the price difference between devices.
Return your Note7 and receive a full refund.
3 options, but no loaners.....
I have two Note 7s purchased and i'm waiting for restock before doing battle with them.

Yeah, I read that prior to posting, But AT&T assured me they will offer me a loaner, but again anyone who's dealt with BB knows that they run rogue and do their own thing, and AT&T has always been disconnected from how BB runs. But I'm in the same boat as far as just keeping it, I love the phone and just want to get a new certified one and move on to enjoying it for what it is, I'd do a loaner and have a new phone to play with if the process was gonna be smooth, but it NEVER is with BB. lol you said it perfect ... "doing battle with them" every time I deal with them i leave the store mentally and physically drained, and yet they keep getting me back in because of the damn pre-order promotions they always have ...
Yeah same but I also like just going into some place and buy something instead of waiting around for delivery. The AT&T people may be trolling you tho..... Since BB does not say loaner it's hard to say cause they all run rogue of store policies. I would... Give the cell area a preemptive call and ask for the manager and ask him directly. Also as a primer to make sure they are aware that they are still involved in this process and not tell you deal with Samsung. I've been reading all I could about this soap opera and seen someone say that their BB did give them a loaner, again, going against the grain (and no way to confirm internet statements at times).
Our Notes are running fine, last all day long, and have no user installed battery drain or lag.
Keep us (me) posted.... I'll do the same when it comes time.

Agreed, I think a call ahead to BB is the first step. But even that is a 50/50 shot of BS lol.
But yeah, I am the same way, i don't like dealing with the mail if I don't have to. Packages get lost or kicked around or stolen or get held at a FedEx or UPS location over the weekend sometimes. So I just prefer to walk into a store and leave with the product in hand, and BB seems to really be the only place to do that outside dealing with the carrier stores, it just comes at a cost lol. But the same frustrations can be said for reps at the AT&T corporate stores. It's a no-win situation really.
But I've also read mixed reviews on BB about the whole recall process so far, some had no issues, some got no where, so I figured I'd ask for some advice ahead of time. Worst case scenario I'll just keep enjoying my Note 7 until the new stock comes in ... lol which isn't a bad option.
But again thanks for the help man, i appreciate it and I'll def post up how this venture plays out, maybe it'll help someone like me looking for answers.
At Best Buy there no loaner phone. The exchange to Edge or S7 is permanent and the full return might not be available anymore. What they want you to return will vary from store to store.
BestBuy is not giving a temp phone. They are either giving you a full refund, or you move to the S7 or S7 Edge or wait to get a new Note7 when that comes available.
honestly, I wonder if us in the US will wind up getting replacements, because if Samsung isolates the batteries to the Exnyos models, they most certainly wont recall the US market Snapdragon ones.

Right, the problem is, I'm not sure I can get the transaction completely reversed through best buy then walk into an AT&T and have them give me a loaner phone, since I reversed the upgrade at best buy.

Exactly
I purchased my Note 7 from Best Buy on Aug. 19 via an AT&T Next trade-in of my Note 5. On Sep. 4, I returned the Note 7 to Best Buy under the recall. They coordinated with AT&T and then sent me over to a nearby AT&T store to get my interim phone (S7 Edge). I now have the option of either keeping the S7E or exchanging it for the N7 when the new ones are available.
(As for that choice: the S7E and the N7 are both great, though I like the N7 slightly better. So I'm planning to exchange--unless the N7's sound/vibration-feedback-lag problem still hasn't been fixed by then, in which case I'll keep the S7E instead.)

Best Buy is sending out emails that pretty much state their webpage... just to add to the thread and hope you guys receive too.
They mention "getting registered for a new Note7" so *sigh* i'm going to pay them a visit tomorrow and see if they even know they have this list.
Registered at lunch at my Best Buy in Whitehall PA. They are handling it similar to preorders. Has a registration process etc. You will basically get a preorder email once your registered and then it's first come first serve to those registered as they come in. They stated Staten Island, some NYC and New Jersey Best Buys got their replacement shipments today and that they are assuming we will get ours locally in a day or so.
Just passing on the info

So, stopped by my local Best Buy and spoke to the mobile manager who stated that all I needed to do was go to that BB Note7 page and enter my email address and that's it. Once they arrive I'll be notified and I can exchange. He said possibly next week but who knows for sure.

I returned my Note 7 to Best Buy, then went to an AT&T store to get an interim S7 Edge. Best Buy was on the phone with AT&T for an hour working out the details. Then it took another hour for the AT&T store manager to call headquarters to work out the remaining details. But it did happen, at least in this instance.
Went to Best Buy and told them I wanted to exchange. Took my order, gave me a pre order reservation form and also received an email confirming the order was placed like any other order. Said new shipments were imminent (I won't hold my breath) gave me back my phone and said to exchange when new phone arrives. We'll see how it goes. They did mention the Sept 30 date but the form doesn't. Believe me, I will request full refund if that date isn't met.
Not sure if this was the correct procedure BB is supposed to follow but as I said as 9/30 approaches I'll just ask for an immediate refund.

My manager friend whos at our reseller store said hes got as much conflicting stories as we do. He did say verizon did say its a one for all when they come in. So basically us exchanger have to be in comp with people who want to buy new ones. Which we discussed how bull**** that is. What he has done is made a list (of those whos called) and when they come in hes going to contact the exchangers and give them first crack.

I have read that the note 7 won't go on sale for new customers until October. Only exchanges till then.
http://www.androidauthority.com/galaxy-note-7-us-relaunch-717156/
I'm currently at our vacation home roughly an hour away from the nearest corporate store; been here all summer and had my original Note 7 delivered here when I ordered it online.
When I read here this morning that the VZW website was showing the Note 7 available for purchase, I called in to arrange for my replacement to be shipped to me. The Customer Care rep initially claimed that the phone could only be exchanged in a corporate store, but when I explained to her that I had spoken with 2 CC reps previously that had stated unequivocally that a replacement could be shipped, she did some checking and discovered that this was indeed an option.
As I write this, though, she's having an issue using my alternate shipping address (even though it's the same one the original phone was shipped to!), and is working with her manager to resolve that and will be calling me back with a confirmation number.
The replacement is shipping 2nd-day and I'm hoping to have it in-hand on Thursday.
I read that too yesterday but haven't heard anything to verify it. We just have to... As usual wait. ?

So I called Verizon again this morning, and she told me to call back tomorrow as they should be getting some in on the 21st. So hopefully tomorrow I can exchange it and stop worrying about owning a ticking time bomb lol

Hmmm I was able to order mine today, I also asked what I should do with the "bad one" they said to keep it as Samsung doesn't want them back...In my heart I feel this isn't true and I don't want to be charged for not returning the old one. Who else was told to keep the old one?
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

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.)

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:

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.

I heard its the old version.

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.
