[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] DanMc85:
no problem... i went in to upgrade my line yesterday on my day off with my manager and it wasn't showing up so I was like I'm not leaving until this is preordered lol... I had him try it that way with the sku and it came right up and was good to go as I have seen that issue in the past with a different smartphone launch.

- Dan
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Maroon Mushroom:
That's exactly what I did though. Sku came up with nothing. Trying again here in an hour...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] geoldr:
Went in to another ATT store today in my local area. Same thing. "It is an online preoder only, we can call you when we have it in stock"

Thats what they told me as well, but apprantly when you try to get a new phone over the phone or by going into the store they still have to override it. And it won't get automatically overriden online.

Only sharing info that two local AT&T stores told me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Fountainhead931:
Today went to the same store and gave the sales guy the sku's and he found them as i717 and I ordered the black one....hope it gets here before I leave for Asia on 18th!

I've got it to deliver to store so that if it does show up (no one is ever "regularly" at home at my house) then they will hold at store for me till I return to states.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] DanMc85:
Were these stores corporate at&t stores or just authorized dealers?

Authorized dealers def wouldn't be able to put the order in.

Good stuff :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] geoldr:
Regular AT&T stores. Im not sure the difference? Its got ATT writtn on the front of the store, and they only sell AT&T things, and have AT&T business cards. On it it says "Retail Sales Consultant" and the employees email is @att.com so i am guessing it is an official store not an authorized dealer
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] DanMc85:
Yea that's a real store, it is interesting either they are not marketed in that area for that phone or they should be better trained on preordering...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Maroon Mushroom:
In my store we currently have no way of ordering the phone. Even with the SKU. Tried with multiple reps and multiple customers.

Something is definitely wrong in OPUS.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] CradleRob:
I was able to successfully go in on Feb 5th to my local AT&T store and have them preorder the phone. It wasn't quick or easy, but the manager of the store was involved and in the end, they were able to do it.

The longest portion of the wait was them trying to find the sku's. Once that had that it went pretty smoothly.

In addition, I am not eligible for an upgrade until Feb 28th, but they were able to override that as well and place the order at the pre-order price.

Because I am going to have to switch some phone numbers when it comes in, I had them ship it to the store (they gave me the option). They said it should be there the 17th.

I purchased at the AT&T Store on I-20 / Great Southwest in Grand Prairie, TX. I've attached a copy of my receipt in hopes that if helps some of you.

Good Luck!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] geoldr:
Tomorrow I will go to a third AT&T store. If they cant do it then oh well.

At this point I don't think the two days matters, especially with people saying their phone is backordered. I really doubt it will be sold out in the stores on launch day, so I will get there 30 mins before opening and wait! As you can probably tell ive had a couple iphones so pretty used to the waiting.

But this pre order process is pretty rediculous with some people having no problems and others like me getting turned down by two stores.

The employees at the second store did not even bother to look at the computer, they just said online pre order and wrote my name down on some sticky note.

I called in to customer service to order it, and the best they could do is give me free one day shipping and told me to call back on the 19th.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] DanMc85:
nice... btw you greyed out your phone number on the top, but it is still below the shipping address... might want to fix that :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] LiquidArrogance:
Finally got mine ordered for direct fulfillment! What a nightmare! Two freaking hours! LOL

I had tried to upgrade Sunday morning over the phone but when I found out they were only able to ship to my house and not the store I had them cancel. They noted it in my account by apparently still used my upgrade? So when I went into the store today they saw the notes on my account but were unable to use my upgrade. Her manager couldn't override it, three different calls into customer care and their managers couldn't override it. They were saying something about a Halifax team that only responds to issues via fax and they would hopefully know something by Thursday? No idea but finally the young lady hacking away was able to figure it out without customer assistance and I left with my receipt and a smile on my face . . . lol. I swear I always get this nonsense with AT&T. When I got married it took three days and over 12 hours on the line with them to get my wife and me on the same account. oi vey.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] CradleRob:
Thanks for that...I've updated the attachment.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Maroon Mushroom:
The phones can now be found in my store. Not sure what changed, but using the same upgrade flow method yesterday and the day before came up with nothing.

Hopefully it's working in all the other stores too
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] hiii_imkris:
Any clue when you think we'll actually receive them in the stores? I've been bugging the SSR's everyday. Lol.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] CradleRob:
I was told by my store that I can pick it up on the 17th. Not sure if that's just the "Company Line" though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] hiii_imkris:
Yeah supposed to receive two days earlier for preorder. Just curious about when the stores will get the demo/wall unit. I was hoping it'd be early since the preorder was two weeks before launch.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] DanMc85:
Probably a few days prior, I am eager to play with the phone. I'm gonna be going to one of the Samsung launch events next week that I got invited to go to.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Fountainhead931:
AEDan1977,

Tell us more about this "Samsung Launch" event?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] DanMc85:
A bunch of manufactures do them but basically its just a private launch event held usually per area such as a state or region that a bunch of us employees go to for hands on training with the device to better understand how they work and the benefits of each. helps us sell them better to customers...

- Dan
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Maroon Mushroom:
I wish we had more reps come visit Alaska. Last one I remember was for the HTC Aria where we got a bunch of free ones.

And we won't have our floor model out until the day of launch at my store. We'll probably get the phone itself shipped to our store a week prior. It depends.

And is it just me or does this Note have the largest AT&T employee following out of all the Androids on XDA?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] hiii_imkris:
I've been tempted to order the International version for quite some time just couldn't bring myself to do it. I've never seen any reps come to my store besides the LG guy asking how many Nitros I've sold.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Maroon Mushroom:
Have you ever sold a Nitro? I don't think our store has sold a single one.

I wouldn't buy any phone by LG.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] hiii_imkris:
I sold one thrill when we still had it in my store, and that was because they were determined 3D is the way to go.

The nitro does have a nice screen but it's still LG.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] DanMc85:
lol same here and I just look at him with a dumb-founded look. :) Last time, I made him mad, I went , "What's this Nitro you speak of?" haha he walked out of the store. I never sold a single one, it is always the iPhone 4S or some samsung smartphone. Once in a while HTC.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] hiii_imkris:
Haha! I push people away from the 4S as much as possible. The infuse was my first Android phone when I got with the company. Coming from an iphone to the Skyrocket it was the best thing ever. I tell customers that and they look at me and say "I hate the droid phones" and I just want to tell them "well that's a good thing you're at AT&T and not Verizon."
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Maroon Mushroom:
I've given up for the most part though. IPhone users come in and don't look at any other phones. They walk straight from the door to the 4S and are hellbent on buying it.

I always have fun with it when they're buying one though:

-after I activate, hand it to them and say. "you probably don't need a tutorial, it's the exact same phone you had before"

-talk about the next iPhone that's not out after they purchase it

-when they ask if their phone can do something I'll say "no, only an Android phone can do that"

if they want to get a phone because other people told them to, even though they'll never use the features, they have the right to do that. It's still commission so I'm not complaining.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] hiii_imkris:
Oh definitely still commission. But they do have a confused look on their faces before they just ignore everything you say that they'll stick with the iPhone. I usually just pull my skyrocket or vivid out while I'm activating their phone and talk about the amazing screen size. This will get better this week when the note releases.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] DanMc85:
haha this post is full of win... :)

Personally, I would never again use an iPhone if 1.) More car manufactures made car stereos that weren't designed just for iPod's/iPhone's for their interface, it's annoying... Although getting better. Pioneer's new line has some android compatible stuff. 2.) Some apps were better designed visually, you can have one app that looks awesome on the iPhone and looks like crap on Android. That's annoying, its like some companies see android as sloppy seconds or not worth the extra effort. WeatherBug is a perfect example of this:

iPhone:

Android:

https://market.android.com/details?...1bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5hd3MuYW5kcm9pZC5lbGl0ZSJd

You can see how much more effort was put into the iPhone version

I've decided that when I get my note, I'm going to activate new iphones as they sit on top of my note.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] hiii_imkris:
That is a wonderful idea.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] DanMc85:
As the note eats the iPhone for dinner... I love how the entire phone is smaller than the screen on the note lol.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okantomi:
Go into Developer settings and turn off animation or change to.5. I don't use live wallpaper, and I love ADW Launcher EX...adds a lot of smoothness.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] al mon:
I believe the stutter in the stock EOS / ICS launcher was introduced in 60. I have it on 62 as well.

If you use ADWEX, the stutter goes away since stock launcher is not called. If you OC to 1.5, stock launcher stutter is not noticeable.:(
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okantomi:
Have you reported this on the EOS bug tracker? I haven't experienced this issue for obvious reasons.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacobydarkon:
I haven't reported it to bug tracker yet. I will try changing the animation. I have my Xoom overclocked to 1.4 right now. Unfortunately, 1.5 is too unstable on my Xoom. :-(

I recently purchased a Captivate Glide (love it!), but I have noticed one flaw. When I go to the first page of my home screen and then to the last page (or vice versa), the background doesn't smoothly transition (like it does on my friend's Galaxy S II Skyrocket). Is there a fix for this?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] vil33:
I didn't use the stock launcher for long but you should install a different one like ADW Pro or the other popular ones.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] a_p3rson:
For right now, I don't want to install any other launchers, considering I just got the phone. Also, I don't want to root it just yet, if that cuts off some solutions.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Lookin4Trouble:
Understandable, get comfortable with it and if you choose to change launchers later, I recommend GO Launcher (this from a longtime ADW user)

In the meantime, there's a setting in the settings menu to set aside a certain amount of memory for smooth scrolling, maybe give that a shot?

Settings --> Display --> ??? Can't remember, I've never had to use it (it says use with caution), and of course it's not there with GO Launcher :\

[Fascinate General] x1war:
Hey everyone,

I was just curious (and a noob so forgive me), I have been noticing a lot of developers switching off to other phones with the departure of jt1134 and the disappearance of ccampos.

Could the Samsung Fascinate's end of life be near? I know there are still developers working but lets face it, the Fascinate isn't as popular as it once was now with the Galaxy Nexus and the Droid Razr.

Well anyways post your thoughts if you agree or disagree that the Fascinate's death is close at hand or not.
[Fascinate General] sarkozy:
Considering my old Eris still has support, I doubt it. Many people won't be due for an upgrade until later this year into early next year, plus the hardware is still very good. JT/sbrissen have done quite a bit of work, and since the Fascinate is a CM supported device we'll see that continue as well.
[Fascinate General] phxshadow:
I hope support stays around for the fascinate for a while. The fascinate is a great phone and i don't plan on changing phone as long as i can keep my fassy up and running.
[Fascinate General] mleonm5:
Completely disagree, literally 4 new ice cream sandwich ROMS were released in the passed two days. Check the development thread...
[Fascinate General] waldothecat:
What has been the case historically with older phones such as the Eris that sarkozy mentioned? I would hope that as old developers leave, new ones arrive.
[Fascinate General] mkuehl06:
Plenty of people still working on this phone. I had an Eris and they are still deving for it too. I get bored and flash stuff on there every once in a while just to see whats new and poppin.

[Fascinate General] davezx6r:
I just picked up a fascinate almost a month ago now. I was coming from the Droid 1, that still sees quite a bit of development. And the Droid as much as I loved it comes nowhere near being as smooth or responsive as this phone. So there is deffinately no hardware restrictions I see causing an end of the road issue. While I havent been around to see what the dev community was, it still seems to be quite healthy from what I've seen lately. Its inevitable that developers move to newer devices but that also opens doors for others to step up to the plate. And as long as there is enough people interested and thankfull for software I think that there will be developers out there willing to work on it.

I think we should find a way to help those guys, teamhackingsung along with independent developers are working hard to get ICS up on our fassy. I wish I knew how to code or I would be all for helping them out, I have to give them much respect for what they do to fix these phones left without a paddle (so to speak). I still find it amazing how some developers do it for free and just want a simple thank you, does anyone know how to code? I really want to help these guys.
[Fascinate General] Zacisblack:
Dang...I feel for you guys. I used my Fascinate as an MP3 player for a while after I got my Nexus. Then one day I decided to flash one of JT's newest builds and it wouldn't boot and couldn't get into recovery. Didn't feel like odining and it's been sitting by my router ever since.
[Fascinate General] mwebs13:
Zacisblack... No one likes a bragger...LOL.

In all seriousness, I believe that the Facinate and its developers will be here for the long haul. As long as there are phones out there and people don't have the $$'s to upgrade as often as they like do to the economy. This is my 3 cents worth.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RostokMcSpoons:
So, I read this:

(from the Android Dev Site)

Now I read that as meaning that whatever a manufacturer does to their version of the firmware (ie. Samsung and TouchWiz) then they have to leave the default ICS theme ('Holo') in there as as a compatibility feature.

Am I reading it incorrectly, or does this mean we'll be able to ditch the TouchWiz look for the 'real' ICS experience? I hope so!

(For the record: I'm quite happy with TouchWiz, once I'd replaced the wallpaper and used the pattern unlock, as it's less ugly than the normal unlock mode... but I think ICS looks very nice)
