Hello,
I am part of the Samsung Upgrade Program as of last year when I purchased the Galaxy S8/S8+ through it. However, those devices launched in April last year, and the S9/S9+ are now launching in essentially March. Does this mean we have to wait the additional month to be able to upgrade or will we be able to upgrade early so we will be able to get the device on the launch day of March 9th?
Thanks for your help,
Raheem
Good Morning,
I had the the S7 Edge +, and upgraded it too last year to the S8+, I received an email with a link to go to to process the upgrade.
I've just spoken to the Samsung, on the phone, and they say the emails should be coming out soon.

Thanks kjtaylor13, I was going to phone Samsung today as I was worried that I had missed the communication regarding the upgrade program.
Hi All,
I'm not the most patient of people when it comes to wanting new toys. So after my call to Samsung this morning I have:
1- Tweeted them asking how to upgrade
2- FB Messengered them, the same
3- Online Chat
Results So Far:
1-No Reply
2-No Reply
3-Call Sales team.
I would like a definitive answer as to when / how we can upgrade.
If I get anything I will of course post it here.
Cheers
Kevin
Me too I have been looking and can't find anything. Hope it's soon. Its my first time doing it do we have to send the chargers, headphones and those adapters back too?

I keep all the bits ready to send back in the original box. And try and keep my phone in tip top condition. But I think all they ask is that the phone is in good working condition, with minimal wear.
Had no problem with sending back my S7+

I had actually messaged via Facebook last night before I saw this thread, the response I got was that they have changes to the eligibility period for the upgrade program and the only way to find out when you can upgrade is by calling the sales team. Calling centre is a horrible experience, it's just the same repeated message, 'it will take more than 5 minutes to answer your call'... yes I know I've been waiting for over 15 mins...
I have spoken with Samsung and the financial company about the upgrade programme as like you say the S8 was released less than a year ago. Samsung didn't seem to know how the upgrade programme worked and asked me to contact the financial company who stated that we could only upgrade after 12 months of starting the agreement with them, which for me was April 17 even though I got my S8 from pre order last year??
I still haven't heard anything through their facebook messenger and I did contact them last night
FYI guys you can check if your elligable here: https://shop.samsung.com/uk/multistore/ukupgradechannel/ukupgradelounge/registration, gutted as I'm not due till the beginning of April!

Where did you find your agreement number? It says 7 digits but mine show as 9xxxxx-001 or ref P4L-xxxxxxx (which doesn't work without the P4L either)

Ahhhh.... that info would have been nice to have on the site.
I paid $28 for overnight...
Updating now. Look for a PM.
Great customer service from Corey, thank you. Can't wait to get the phone!
I also paid for overnight.
Expansys is selling the glamour gray. What is the difference between the glamour gray and gunmetal gray?
I'm so tempted to buy now rather than wait for white in a couple of days
I have to control myself until white is released on Apr 5th.
Anyone know any coupons to reduce the price a bit
Ordered from Expansys and cancelled from Negri, thanks for sharing.
Any coupon code for it thanks

Hoping I'm OK and that I got in fast enough; the site still shows "100+" in stock, and my Paypal payment shows "completed". The order page just says "Your order will be processed soon. Our order processing team work 8am - 6pm weekdays." though, and it isn't clear what time zones that's for. (My order was charged by Paypal well before 6pm Central, and other things on the site mostly seem to reference Central time.)
Guess I'll find out tomorrow, but Corey, if you're around and feel like taking a weight off my mind, speak up! ;-)

It didn't say that earlier. My guess is they've sold out of their first 100+ units already, and don't expect to receive another shipment for four days.
It still said "100+" a full hour and a half after my order was placed, which was when I last checked, but they were out of stock an hour later apparently.

I don't believe you missed it. We just had a fraudster order batches of 100's til it quit showing stock. We have deleted those orders so it should be showing stock again very soon. The fraud attempts still amaze me.

Wow. That is just unreal. I'm surprised your system will even accept an order of that volume without requiring an override of some kind; that'd be getting on for US$70,000 per order!
On the plus side, this presumably means my own order must've been received while it was still in stock. You said they're supposed to ship tomorrow, and I got two-day shipping, so that means a phone by the weekend. Woo hoo!!! :-D

Whoops, our posts crossed and I didn't see this. Actually, looking at my order, it's just changed to "Ready to ship", so I think we're set.
Awesome news. Went with next day shipping. Had cash to spend after my NCAA bracket win.
Don't know if this is the right section or not but mods feel free to move to Q&A or general or wherever. But anyways any devs plan on getting the note 4 developer edition? i found in their register system its coming soon. Trying to figure out my plans for my note 4 arriving tomorrow! thanks devs!

I guess the goal here is you would have root on 4.4.4 with no problems and the unlocked boot loader for roms choice, and rooting in future with Lollipop. (Which sadly doesn't look possible in the future with out and unlocked bootloader.)
dont think that should be a problem? with unlocked bootloader throw twrp on and use su zip. at least that is what you could do on note 3 dev ed. unless 4.4.4 has changed

Exactly,
My question maybe should go into a previous developer forum but how does rom updating work because I've heard the developer editions doesn't get official updates. How would we update to Lollipop etc, are there modified rom versions that take out the boot loader locking triggers? or is this even a worry. Maybe someone can chime in with a Note 3 Dev.

you would have to have a dev extract it from regular note 4 or whatever gets update. i had the note 3 and zero updates. and twrp and root triggered knox 0x1 on it just like regular but it shows dev mode

Just curious if anyone who has ordered a Pixel or Pixel XL gotten their tracking info or any kind of update at all?
I preordered last week , (32gb Blk XL) , and when I check my status of the order, it still says "pre ordered" and nothing else. The free Chromecast shipped yesterday lol.
Really I'm just curious to see where everyone's best buy orders are at. Has anyone received theirs yet?
No movement yet.
I ordered mine the same day it became available on bestbuy site and it still says "pre-ordered" next to status.
My chromecast shipped at 930pm so they've got about 2 hrs if they're following the same schedule with 2 day shipping as stated when I ordered.

Just checked again. Still showing "preordered." I mean, it wouldn't be the first phone I've ever preordered/purchased online that the shipping status never changed and still showed up on time, but it's still an uncomfortable feeling lol I'd rather know for sure.
I'm in the exact same boat here. Still in Pre-Ordered/Processing
I spoke to a BB rep yesterday around 5pm EST about my XL Silver 32 for the big V. He said that the pre-ordered status wont change until launch date but that the phone was still scheduled to arrive by the 20th. He said it should ship today (his timeline) or tomorrow to arrive but I wouldn't see tracking info until thursday. So....yeah....not sure how much I believe that lol
FWIW I spoke to a Best Buy rep over the phone, and she said that since the phone comes out 10/20 it cannot ship before then. She did not sound very knowledgeable, so take with a grain.

Heycguys quick questions since you guys are ordering from best buy I am assuming you all have verizon
Has anyone actually managed to order the phone from Three for pay as you go? I've tried over 20 times but it just fails at the payment screen used my partner's card too and the same thing happens.
Why would you do that when you can buy direct from razor? Though admittedly right now all you can do is sign up for a notification email.
I successfully pay for the pre-order of the phone in 3‘s website, so I think there is no problem with the website. Maybe you should use another devices to finish the payment.

Tried that still won't go through
I had exactly the same problem as you, tried around 30 times with different cards, addresses, people.
Eventually got a buddy to try for me with all his details and it went through fine. Pain in the ass, three don't let you pay that much over the phone too so no point in you trying to contact their customer services.
In store they are only taking pre-orders for people doing contracts so a waste of time there too.
Get someone else to try.
Is the phone on display yet on Three to view? also will there be roms on this device? as really thinking of selling the op5 to buy this.

My local store didn't have it on display but when asked they had one behind the counter and I had a go on that for around 15 mins. I personally love it.
I have just spoken to the customer service and they said that the reason for not going through is that anything pay as you go has to be under £100. Sounds ridiculous to be honest.

when i restarted the phone at three it displayed the three symbol on boot-up, looks like the firmware on the device is three specific. this could make it like Samsung where stock firmware won't allow for volte and wifi calling etc. if it does have operator firmware on it via three, i hope it gets updated as quickly as stock firmware ...
lets see when released ...

Gotcha. They say it is unlocked. The splash screen will unfortunately there, however, the bootloader will be unlockable so I don't see why we won't be able to flash the stock fw on it.

when i restarted the phone at three it displayed the three symbol on boot-up, looks like the firmware on the device is three specific. this could make it like Samsung where stock firmware won't allow for volte and wifi calling etc. if it does have operator firmware on it via three, i hope it gets updated as quickly as stock firmware ...
lets see when released ...

It had a Three boot screen? Why the hell when it's not locked to them :S that triggers me a little.

Yeah I know but after all the **** I've been through with Three I don't want anything on my device at all. God knows when Razer will put up factory images.
I pre-ordered the OnePlus 8 Pro with 12 GB RAM + 256 GB Storage in UltraMarine Blue. Along with my pre-order I got OnePlus Bullets Wireless Earbuds and a OnePlus Warp Charge 30 WireLess Charger, both free. Apparently I was lucky to get my pre-order in early because I read that they sold out within 10 minutes. If the phone is as good as I expect it to be, I'll be selling my S20 Plus 5G on Swappa.
I couldn't get my order in the ridiculous OnePlus 2 minute online out of stock window...
Got my order in, was picked up by fed ex today with delivery this Tuesday

The preorder was a disgrace! I had one in my cart and then it wasnt available. It was 9:02am PST - Oneplus probably lost my business over this, especially without mmwave...

It wasn't a pre-order, it was a limited launch with extras, don't be mad you weren't quick enough

So far the phone is blazing fast. That wireless charger is absolutely amazing. You can see a huge difference in the screen compared to the OP7 Pro, as well as overall speed. My phone was delivered yesterday (April 17th).
Well here's my launch day story...... After watching the launch day event, counting down the minutes, then seconds, on launch day, I ordered my first OnePlus device! This is, IMHO, the best, fastest, most advanced device ever created. I got the Ultramarine 12/256, wireless charger and ear buds and even included the 24 month extended warranty. Wow, was I excited! Unfortunately, it has turned into a nightmare. The order still shows "Transaction in Processing" after I was told by my bank the payment was canceled by OnePlus! Not only am I being told that I missed out on the launch day promotion, but I am not able to pay for the order still processing! I am really disappointed in the whole process and really hope OnePlus can fix this. I am sure items may be out of stock, but I am willing to wait as long as it takes to get this device. Please help!

Ordered On:Apr 15, 2020

The op called it a pre-order so I went with it and i was on top of it, actual stock must have been really low...
Pre-ordered UltraMarine Blue 12/256. Excited as much as I was for the 6, 6T, 7Pro. A bit more pricey than usual (of course) but hopefully it's a justified increase.

Stay on them with this. If it were me I'd be arguing that I deserve the launch box (items at least) when this is worked out. No way would I rest until I got what I felt I deserved or they just flat out denied it continuously. Wish you the best here.
I managed to get mine yesterday, now I just have to be patient for development ?
I'm interested in buying a one plus 8 pro. I enjoy a crisp screen and a good camera. I like my pixel 4 xl but the screen seems dull.
Is anyone coming from a pixel 4 xl to the 8 pro? How are the camera images

Hey sorry for a bit off topic, but I've read different things regarding screen protector..... Is there a pre applied protector? Some people said there was a protector included in the paperwork, but not applied.
Thanks!

I'm debating doing the same thing. I think I'll need to see how good GCam is before I either order locally or get it shipped over here.

Scratch that, the 2 in the box aren't screen protectors. I'm talking to OP support and they said unless you add one to your order you only get a pre-applied one. Lucky for me, I also don't have a pre-applied one.

Oh wow that's a shame. With the pre applied one, we at least get time to find a good one like Whitestone dome, etc.
There wasn't one to order anyway. I get mine tomorrow so we'll see. Thanks for the update

You should all appreciate being abke to order and receive you 8 P outside of the US. Not only are we later without anything free stuff, we are having to deal with idiots working for OnePlus who don't know their A__ from a whole in the ground.
I tried both the chat online and calling on a phone. The latter didn't really know enough where and how to purchase over here, but the online people were total idiots.
A lot of it is beaning able to speak English - but not understand it. If they are going to sell now overpriced phones, I think it is reasonable to expect competent service. Compared to Samsung and others - they live on a different planet.
Sale date changed from 8 days away, to 2 days away!!
Exactly what version of the 8 Pro will we be getting - the global ?
Gotta love it. I love in NY. Shipped from NJ yesterday. For some reason it's in Tennessee now. WTF? Still says I'm supposed to get it tomorrow
