"Silver lining moment"

I'm going to go to bed tonight knowing my phone will arrive tomorrow. When I get up tomorrow, I'm going to sit on the porch, with the dog, three Starbucks doubleshot mochas, and await the coming of the FedEx guy. :D

And yes, this had been sent from my Samsung Captivate.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] statusnone:
I hope everyone here patiently waiting gets their phone. I've been using mine since 11am today and oh man this thing is amazing. Thought coming from a Note 2 I'd have some buyers remorse, but F no.

Also I walked into Best Buy to see if they might have some cases (long shot, I know) and the girls refused to believe it was real. They thought I had some knockoff. When I let them play with it they kept babbling off about how who ever sold this to me was going to get fired and the store fined... Gotta love me some Best Buy Mobile employees. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] ducktape93:
I just got my shipping notification after ordering on the 21st. The tracking page says "Standard Overnight"... but I didn't pick overnight shipping. Weird. Should be here tomorrow by 3pm.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Rhamza161:
it is here!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] hus317hus:
thanx

thank you for this information​

Oh snap! It's already at the destination facility in my area! From "Departed TN" to "At facility in FL" in less than 3 hours!!:D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] mickeywdw1254:
I will be getting mine tomorrow and will be coming from a Note 2 as well. Is there anything that pulls you back to the Note 2? Is the screen size drastically smaller to where things feel cramped?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] statusnone:
Not at all. I've had both in my pocket all day and every time I grab the Note 2 the screen and design just feel out done. Oh and not to mention the IR blaster T.V. remote app is the coolest thing to come to a phone since... well I'm not sure. Lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] fix-this!:
Anybody else have their phone shipped but havent been charged for it yet?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] mickeywdw1254:
Shipped and no charge yet here.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] fix-this!:
Maybe we get free phones. :p
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Cali3350:
Well my 4/19 order that was 2 day standard finally shipped tonight around 5pm magically upgraded to standard overnight. I wont complain :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] michintom:
Been stuck on Fort Worth since yesterday...:(

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] ricerx:
If we're lucky...LOL! Mine hasn't been charged either, but this happened to me last year on the S3 pre-order. My card wasn't charged till 4-5 days after I got my phone.

---------- Post added at 07:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:29 PM ----------

Mine was too...but just checked again and the status changed to

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] silkshocker:
Do you guys get an email notify of status update?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Metalli-Nut:
Not me yet. I am in south florida though
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] freebee269:
it's ok, they will charge your account if they cant get it off your card.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] michintom:
No update yet. Still stuck in Fort Worth. :(

Nice....hopefully mine will be updated soon or FedEx forgot to scan it when it left :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] csgirl08:
I am closer to central Florida so yea yours had a little ways more to go.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Bjray:
Ship date: April 30th

Status: Processing [Update - Processed]

I got a feeling the stores (AT&T official) are going to have the S4's on the 26th. And ATT is just saying the 30th so we wont be disappointed if it comes later.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] AutoUnion:
Two questions:

- do we know anything about the 32gb black model? I wonder if I can just go and pick it up instore next week

- is wireless charging confirmed on the AT&T version?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] HP-TOUCHPAD:
Cool dude thanks from hp touchpad team.

Will follow
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] zaures:
Legit question here, why would you pay 100 extra for 16gb when you have a external sd card slot?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] mg2195:
Although I wouldn't....here are a couple reasons I can think of:

Internal storage is faster than sd cards - no matter the class of the sd card

Internal storage is typically more reliable...can't count how many time my sd cards have become corrupted in my phones

Some people use up lots of storage - and even with a 64gb micro sd in a 16gb model, its still not enough. -you may ask how can you use up that much space in a phone...but if your an audiophile (which I am slowly becoming) it can be easy...when you start using flac and other lossless or high-quality music formats (no mp3) you can fill up space very fast...I have a few mixes that 800+ MBs alone ...add in some apps, and maybe a couple 1080p movies

Again, I wouldn't spend the extra hundred...but that's pretty much cause I don't really have the money...but if you have the money to spare than why not?

Also...isn't the 32gb version only $50 more...not $100...at least based on the original $250 pre order price
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Marshall24:
Guys do you think that there could possibly be an issue trying to get one on release date if I don't pre order? I don't want to pre order because I want to feel it in person first. I could go right when stores open in the morning I suppose, or at like noon during my lunch break. Will there be an issue? I could go to Sam's, ATT actual store, wal mart, etc.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] fix-this!:
i don't think the device will sell out.

---------- Post added at 01:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:42 PM ----------

right but no one can preorder or get the 32gb models as they are not available. i was told they will come later after launch.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] attbrandon:
The device is already on back order.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] YoungAceAtlanta:
I'm trying to do the same thing.. i don't want to place a order online and have it backordered since i didn't play my order when it went live on the 16th

i keep hearing three different dates for in-store purchase.. 26th, 27th, 30th..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Marshall24:
Friday the 26th would make the most sense to me, but maybe that's because I'm hoping for it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] :
I think us early pre orders will be seeing shipment notifications Tuesday night
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] JasonJoel:
I think AT&T should just ship them as they get them... Starting now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] darkodin14:
I think so too..: :cool:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] mocsab:
In store on 30th

I don't know if this is true - but I just had a chat with the ONLINE REP at ATT and when I asked about shipping for pre-orders and instore release, he said, quoting from his on line chat: Att does advise our customer that the Samsung Galaxy S4 will be shipping out on 04/30/2013. That is the same date for in store release."

I have seen several posts in this thread saying it would be the 26th - I honestly hope that the 26th date is correct and hope that the guy I chatted with didn't know what he was talking about - but to be honest, those people who work the chat room for ATT are very likly working off scripts given to them by their superiors - they simply write from pre-defined scripts they are given based on lists of possible quesitons..The way his answer was worded seems to reinforce that -

anyway - whether it is the 26th or the 30th - we are 6 or 10 days away - I feel like a kid waiting for Christmas to come.....don't konw about you but patience has never been one of my stronger personal traits.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Bjray:
Anyone else received a email stating "Your ATT.com order has been processed"

Tracking number:

Pending shipment

Does this mean what I think it means?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] darkodin14:
Hmm, I didnt get anything. And I ordered very very early.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Thermalwolf:
ATTBrandon said the pre-orders will be market dependent, which I guess means that some people who ordered after others might get there's shipped first do to the market region they are in.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] darkodin14:
could be... but hey. I think NYC is a huge market.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Thermalwolf:
Ok you got me there lol, but NYC is probably on massive back order but if you ordered very early on pre-order day I'm willing to bet you'll get your email real soon. I also ordered as well on the 16th real early in the day but I live in Ohio so probably gonna be waiting an extra day or two here :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Stefs_Dope:
Backorder?

Hi guys. I preordered mine on the morning of preorder launch, I first received the same thank you email all of you received, but the next day I received this email:

"Thank you for your recent purchase on the AT&T Premier Online Store. We are pleased that you chose AT&T as your wireless service provider.

Unfortunately, items in your order are out of stock and are backordered. We will ship them as soon as they are available, and notify you of the shipment by email. We will ship multiple backordered items when all items are in stock.

If your order remains out of stock or backordered for 30 days, your order will be automatically canceled."

Did anyone else get this? I checked my order from the AT&T website & there's nothing there, except some error message listed in red font.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] donnymac:
I'm up near Ocala and mine left FedEx origin facility (FT Worth) at 4:22 pm today. Due to arrive tomorrow at 4:30. Hey I only ordered it on Monday so I am super stoked to get it early.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] TheRichMan:
I live in Texas and mine at around 7pm finally got an update from fort worth to what your guys are at now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] mickeywdw1254:
Ha! Mine's due to arrive tomorrow before 3pm. I'm also in the Central Florida area. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] ducktape93:
Package arrived in Memphis. I have no idea how they can manage to get it to me in Oregon by 3pm tomorrow. We'll see!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Rhamza161:
my father, who is the owner of the account, got a text a few minutes ago saying payment hadn't cleared and to call *611, after talking to the Rep for 20 minutes there were not any outstanding payments due on the account and he cleared the message...and my bank account hasn't been charged yet...I would die laughing if I got this phone for free. :highfive:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] XxYoshxX:
Very awesome story for my S4 preorder!

So, went to my local At&t retail to get an early upgrade because I was eligible, but for some reason the entire staff was being very finicky (half of them seemed a bit snobbish) with my account and was turned down.

Went to another At&t retail 8 miles away. Got a very humble and helpful staff, and told me that there was something wrong with my account not being able to get an early upgrade. Spoke with his manager for a minute, came back and said his manager overrode the system to get an early upgrade! Process took less than 10 mins. all together! BEST experience from them! :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] ittus:
Really fancy design!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] ChaseBroyles:
Overnight, mine went from Fort Worth to Memphis to Huntington, WV and is due for delivery in Princeton,WV today. :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] sameer1807:
props to att for overnighting everyones preorders. just saw that it reached my local sorting facility so im expecting a call from att to go pick it up.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] csgirl08:
I'm not really in "Central Florida". West of there but mine is on the truck now and scheduled for delivery by 4:30 pm. For me, the later the better since I'm at work and won't be able to get off until 5 anyways. Don't want it sitting outside my door too long. :fingers-crossed:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] hotdog32836:
Just got delivered!

St. Petersburg, FL
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] spenserj87:
Mine shipped yesterday, it's in Sacramento, on the truck for delivery later today. My credit card has not been charged yet.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] csgirl08:
This thread has gotten quiet. I guess b/c everyone either got their phone yesterday (lucky b*****ds lol) or delievery scheduled for today. Anyone that pre-ordered not scheduled for delivery today?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] gzrecoil:
AHHH mine is not getting delivered until I have to leave for the day, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] mickeywdw1254:
It sure has gotten quiet. Like you said, they either already got their phone yesterday or are frantically hitting F5 like me waiting to see FedEx say "Delivered". :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Cali3350:
I have a delivery exception. Package arrived after courier left for daily route. Guess overnight shipping was too slow. Ill get mine tomorrow.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] csgirl08:
Haha. Yea I am pressing it tho it's not scheduled to be delivered for another 4.5 hours and based on my last FedEx delivery, that time is about accurate.

---------- Post added at 12:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:10 PM ----------

Did you call and ask if you could pick it up?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Faluzure:
Request a local pickup man. Unless you really don't care that you'll get it tomorrow.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] jhong91:
I tried that yesterday. They wouldn't give it to me saying that att won't allow it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] mg2195:
That's because att delayed receiving shipments until least today....so you should be good for local pickups now
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] mickeywdw1254:
I tried that too because the FedEx location that mine is getting delivered from is right next to my work but they said they couldn't just hold it there for me because AT&T requires them to attempt at least one delivery.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] csgirl08:
My phone is here! Perfect timing that I can run home (less than 15 mins away) during my lunch break and grab it. Let it charge while I "try" to continue to work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] imthatguy83:
Lucky for me my Apr 16th 2day shipping pre-order to Phx arrived yesterday at 2:00PM... Too busy playing with my new toy, got 3 hours of sleep last night haha. I think its pretty ****ty what AT&T did to all those who paid for Overnight delivery. It seems like everyone of them had their orders held up so the 2days could go out first. On the other hand it's great to see them free upgrading late pre-order sales to overnight from 2day.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] mickeywdw1254:
So you are one of the lucky bass terds that got theirs yesterday without overnight shipping! LOL I'm still waiting for mine but it is on the truck for delivery. I also had AT&T credit my account for the $15 that I wasted on overnight shipping.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] imthatguy83:
Yup def one of the lucky ones, I panicked the whole pre-order though because my Order Id wasn't showing info on any status page. I got one email that never really changed from Processing. This phone feels soo much lighter then my friends S3, i think because its actually a tad bit lighter, but maybe better weight distribution or something. Like McDonalds "I'm Lovin It"
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] ricerx:
Ding dong! Oh hi Mr. FedEx Guy. ktxbye! :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] csgirl08:
I fear that this will be tonight. LOL. I am off of work every other Friday by nature but tomorrow just happens to NOT be that Friday lol.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Faluzure:
FYI. Signature doesn't seem to be required. I'm at work and I got a notification from FedEx that it was delivered at my home. (I signed up for the FedEx Tracking Manager account to give me up to the minute alerts):

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] silkshocker:
it would be helpful if those who got delivered stated their order date so we all know how long it took to get yours. I ordered mine yesterday and the email states I will get it around May 3rd. Called to cancel the order and was told it was impossible as it is being picked at the warehouse. I checked the order status and it says 'processing'.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] csgirl08:
From what I have seen, people on here that got theirs ordered between 2 days ago to the first day of preorders. You may be a bad place if there just happens to be too many orders in the system right now compared to their inventory. Lots of people like to wait until the last minute ya know. But for what it's worth, I ordered mine right before midnight on the 20th.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Faluzure:
I ordered mine on 4/22 @ 1:00 PM. Status never changed after "Processing" on both the AT&T Premier page or the regular order page. I received notification of it changing to "Shipped" on 4/24 (around 11 AM). Received it at 12:30 PM on 4/25.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] fix-this!:
so my phones here but they still didn't take the funds out of my account. i called at&t and they have no idea whats going on? they say it may come out by april 30th or be billed to my next bill? this seems odd to me.

just as long as i do not get charged full retail or something im fine. seems like an error on their part.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] csgirl08:
Welp...I've had my phone at work for 2 hours now and I have done no work lol. Probably won't do too much for the last two hours either.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] mg2195:
I'm not sure if anyone's been charged yet...and I'm not worried at all...if they do make a mistake and don't charge, I'm not gonna complain and see what's up...but if they mess up and overcharge then its just a simple call to fix the issue...so no reason to really worry either way
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] JasonJoel:
Got mine today, too. So far so good.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Faluzure:
I've been charged as of yesterday (when it shipped). I'm sure they'll go back and start charging folks. If not, consider yourself lucky for getting a free phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] ChaseBroyles:
Ordered mine on 4/20 in the store and the money came out on 4/21, but it didn't ship until 4/23.

It's at the AT&T store in Princeton,WV now. :) I can't wait to get out of school to go get it. :)

Coming from Sprint it sure is a hassle to type the & sign and turn on all caps when I want to type AT&T. Haha.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] fix-this!:
well if they dont charge me ill call back to make sure i pay.

It's Here! I am sombody now!

It's Here - Its Here - the New Phone..... is here - I am Somebody now! (taking a little liberty with the famous Steve Martin quote from the Movie "The Jerk"

Kind of anti-climatic in a way - now I cant wait to root - and there isn't any way to do it yet! LOL -

Despite it - what an awecome phone - I was worried I would miss my NOTE 2 - and while I still love that phone - I am really liking what I see with my NEW S4 - now, to get rid of most of the bloat - or at least a good part of it -

The Camera is phenomenal!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] silkshocker:
Ok guys, just checked ATT website and it showed the phone has been shipped from Fort Worth. It should be here tomorrow 4/26 by 3 pm per tracking number. I'm so stoked!!! Ordered this on 4/24 and getting it in 2 days. Couldn't be happier. I was going to send it back and get it ordered through Walmart for $198 no tax but it's a difference of $16 so what the heck. I cannot wait any longer.:D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] gothpunk4christ:
Got mine

Got mine in today earlier this morning and it's ok. Battery seems... problematic... coming from an ATRIX and getting a full day use on a full charge, this phone seems to be draining quite fast and I have most all of the extra features disabled.

Other than that... it's shiny. And my wife wants to play with all the features I disabled but I'm busy "texting" people about the weather and stuff. heh.

For those of you who weren't aware, Radio Shack's OFFICIAL S4 release day is tomorrow, Friday April 26.

I confirmed this with a rep yesterday. If you're having preorder woes or just waiting till you can go in store and see one, Radio Shack is the place apparently. Still wouldn't hurt to call ahead and make sure your local store has some though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] mg2195:
Ive been using mine for an hour straight...its only dropped 10% and I left everything default (all the features on/I didnt turn anything off)

Also...its always good to give a phone a couple days before judging the battery...you have to oet the phone settle in and symc everything up and load up its cache directory and finish all media syncing...same applies when you flash mew roms
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] gothpunk4christ:
Yeah, I'm just really paranoid about battery life because I'm on the road all day. I hate using car chargers because of the difference in charge ratings for adapters, they destroy my batteries after a few uses. Or maybe its just the cheap Chinese ones that do.

In all honesty, I haven't used it much really. Battery dropped 6% over a couple hours with no use. Immediate concern yes, but I am going to wait a few days before I do finally say it's crap.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] whizadree:
