Exactly, don't know why people were hesitant to pre-order! Yeah, 13 is kinda high, don't want to crush your hopes or nothing, but if there isn't a large amount of phones getting shipped for launch date, sending more than 13 to one store is pushing it.... I HAD to order from BBY because I'm not going to say no to "free money" with the Phone Freedom $50 off deal, that's just crazy unless someone else had it for $50 off at the same time!

My best buy said to come get it Friday if on at&t
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] soritong:
Did they email you that or tell you on phone/in store?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Bataga:
Stopped by the store
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] tntsjp:
I just read there's going to be a delay because of the lack of supply.. I pre ordered on the 19th (I think) at the store.. I am going to keep my fingers crossed.. Was so looking forward to Saturday! Ugh! !
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] soritong:
Who told you this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] bvic01:
OK, so now im a little pissed. I just found out that even pre-orders on the 23rd have been shipped out overnight by ATT and are being received today. I called ATT on the 23rd and was told if I preordered through them it wouldnt ship until the 30th, even though the other pre-orders were already shuipping. They said everything the 22nd and back would ship this week. Well looks like they lied, everyone is getting theirs and Im stuck waiting on my BBY pre-order.

---------- Post added at 06:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:12 PM ----------

I read that on engadget
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] KryptosXLayer2:
Technically, they shipped out on Tuesday, they did not offer overnight shipping unless you upgraded to it, but rather free 2 day shipping.... but yeah, AT&T moved up their ship date to the 23rd even though their launch date is tomorrow with the retail store sales beginning on Saturday - don't know what the difference really is, but Saturday you should be able to get one in store or at BBY if you pre-ordered!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] bvic01:
Actually, go read through the last few pages of the ATT pre-order thread. Orders on the 23rd were upgraded to overnight without charge and without request by customer. There's reports of people checking their tracking to find it on the truck for delivery today. So the difference is, if I had pre-ordered through ATT like I originally planned, I would be getting it today. Oh well, I like BBY's device protection plan alot more than ATT's due to the no deductable. I actually carry both, ATT's in event of theft or loss, and BBY's in case I break the damn thing. lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] RTBee:
Kryptos, just curious, are you paying full or upgrading? If upgrading, will BB honor the $168 price of Walmart? That with the discounts would make it an incredible deal!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] freebee269:
i concur with you on the best buy protection plan. you pay $5.99/mon for it. if you do anything to your phone, you take it back to them and they ship you a new or refurbished one that day (as long as the claim was put in before 1pm). i have used this service twice and both times i got my replacement phone 2 days later. seems to me to be the best protection plan for phones.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] KryptosXLayer2:
Yeah, it's just another few days, I'm not too worried! That's interesting about the two protection plans, how much does the total of them come out to be? I decided when I bought the SIII not to put any protection on it, SquareTrade has just gotten out of control with their prices, and I'm SO careful with my phones and tablets, it's ridiculous - to date, I have never used a case or screen protector on my SIII after buying it at launch last year, and it still looks brand new!

I'm upgrading on contract, and also talked to the girls at BBY about this whole "end of showrooming / price match" thing I posted links for already, and they said that without a doubt, it does NOT apply to contract phones, so they will not honor the price match at Walmart (which, don't know if you saw, is over - Walmart changed the price back to $198 already)

I asked them what the price matching applies to, and they said "cases, accessories, stuff like that," yeah, like I'm going to go into a store and say "hey, I found this $2 cheaper on Amazon, price match it for me!" They said that so many people asking BBY to PM online retailers when they would never order a phone online, and it didn't make sense to give away money even though people wouldn't find another way to buy their phones - like myself, that's the main reason I buy in store is because I buy so many things online, but I won't have a phone shipped to me, I just don't like the idea all the way around....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] RTBee:
Thanks, no I hadn't seen the Walmart change. Not really a big deal tho. I did the buyback thing with BB when I got my S3 last year. I don't know if that's the greatest deal or not but I'm thinking I'll just add another line then get the S4 at upgrade price. Sell them back my S3 and then next year upgrade the S3 line to an S5. Or maybe I'll just keep the S3 for backup. :rolleyes:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] KryptosXLayer2:
If the staff won't waste their time with the buy back program, I don't think anyone else should either! I asked them about that too, as in "who in their right mind would give up their SIII for so little?" I was going through eBay to get my phone ready to sell my SIII once I've got a fully functional (read: rooted) S4, and it said this, no joke:

Could not believe it, but that's the truth! If you don't want to be hassled for the time it takes to eBay that sucker, I'd give you more than BBY would for it! hahaha
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] bvic01:
The BBY plan is 10 bucks a month and the ATT is like 5 a month i think?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Bataga:
Att has a ridiculous deductible and best buy doesn't.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] bvic01:
Yes, BUT ATT covers theft and loss, BBY's doesn't. Thats why I carry both.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] KryptosXLayer2:
BUT........ SquareTrade is only $5.99 per month, now that I finally check their page out again:

http://www.squaretrade.com/samsung-galaxy-warranty

Doesn't cover loss or theft, but still, looks like a good deal especially since you can almost always find a 20-30% off coupon online+

EDIT - their $99 deductible is STILL ridiculous, as stated previously though, so if something happened, you'd pay the $99 to start it if you don't do monthly payments and then $99 deductible on a phone that will go down below $200 on contract quickly, and if you've got another upgrade to use like I usually always do, then none of this is worth it....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] aaronbokc:
Just in the last hour or so ... the AT&T versions have been changed from

Release Date: Saturday, April 27, 2013

to

Release Date: Release date not yet announced

The Sprint white GS4 still is listed for April 27th... the black GS4 was changed yesterday to have no information about release date.

It looks like the black one might be harder to come by then the white one at this point.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Apoyyo:
As an employee of best buy I can tell you that the street date of this phone is set to 4/27/13. But according to our district manager we are able to sell the phone starting on 4/25/13 if we get a shipment to align with AT&T release date. Don't take this is "official" word since I am just an employee, but that is what I was told. If you pre-ordered you will get an e-mail when it is ready to pick up. Don't bother going in the store until you get that e-mail as it won't be there waiting for you. Those e-mails are auto-generated based on pre-order priority as soon as that product is received into inventory.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] lyrad12:
i thought bb will give us a call who preordered if the phone is ready? well id rather get the email coz they might call my dad's number instead since his number is the one ready for upgrade, im just the one whos gonna use it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] soritong:
I preordered a black one but from what I'm hearing, black may be tough to get. Should I just swing by the store tomorrow to see if they have white ones? The person told me they are getting their shipment tomorrow.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] c-low18:
If you get the email call and make sure your name is actually on one before you go up there. Trust me on this one....99% chance the email is correct but call the to verify just to be safe. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Apoyyo:
If I were you, I would call to check quantity. If they have enough units after the pre-orders then you should be able to get it, otherwise just take the black and if you want the white, check within 15 days to see if they got more and exchange it if they do.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] plmiller0905:
Bestbuy doesn't allow you to exchange just for a different color...at least that's what I was told about 2 weeks ago when I had the BBz10
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Apoyyo:
False, you have 2 exchanges within a 15 day period for any reason. If there is a price change and you exchange for a different color then that price is not honored. IE: You buy a white phone for $99 and in a week it goes to $199 and you decide you want a black one. you would have to pay the extra $99 for the black one even though you originally had bought it for $99

Edit: They might mean because the phone is so new that they might not have enough quantity to exchange for a different color.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] bvic01:
You are correct, I bought a white one x and decided i wanted the grey, they allowed me to return the white one x no questions asked.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] bvic01:
Any word from BBY guys? Anyone been told to come pick theres up? Im getting more and more impatient. If I had ordered through ATT like i had originally planned (but was told it wouldnt ship until the 30th, which is clearly wrong from the att pre-order thread posts) I would have it in hand already. :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] KryptosXLayer2:
Still no email yet from BBY, hoping they'll send one today saying to pick it up tomorrow.... but again, I'm in no rush to get it because I can't switch from my SIII until we have root on the S4, it would just be a small tablet I'd keep on me, in my pocket next to my SIII, haha
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] soritong:
It's kind of concerning considering that fact I went to the store yesterday and they still didnt have any display models out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] bvic01:
I know the ATT stores received their displays last night, so dont start worrying yet.

Also, if I dont get a call/email from BBY by tomorrow morning, Ill be getting one from an ATT store. Have an appt scheduled for 10AM at my local store, thats when they open. Spoke with the manage ron the phone, she said thatd pretty much guarantee me one there with the appt and make sure I show up when they open. So if BBY doesn't have one for me, ATT will. Ill just use the gift card for something else.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] TechSilver13:
Got my email this morning. Will be picking it up at 4ish central time unfortunately.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] pt409:
preordered last night at 9pm and got the 50 gift card

So I wanted to check out the S4,

Went to Best Buy last night but they didn't have any demos at all.

Well, I asked about the 50 gift card for preordering, because they said they would sell Friday since it was ATT's official launch day.

One rep helped out and said yes I could preorder. Then, when asked about Black or White model, I said I couldn't decide. He took me over to the Samsung area, talked to the rep there, he opened a locked case and pulled out both colors, the working models. They are really nice, even white.

Anyway, they did have them but previously two mobile folks denied that they did.

I preordered to get the gift card, and am waiting to get the email or call today when the shipment comes in.:good::good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] tntsjp:
Great to hear.. There's hope then :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] bvic01:
This makes me nervous. Hopefully my BBY is just slow getting it into the system.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] neincraft:
My local best buy mobile is getting a shipment today, they said that I will get a phone as soon as UPS comes and drops off the phones.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] bvic01:
Just spoke with my BBY, they said they still hadn't gotten their shipment but that fedex/ups hadnt delivered today as of right now. So there's still hope :)!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] soritong:
Called my BBY, said they hadn't gotten a shipment today,may need to wait until Monday.

I called the BBY Mobile store about a half mile away and they had plenty. I just went there instead.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] KryptosXLayer2:
I was at one of the larger BBY's in the area and they didn't have any HTC One's out, only One X's! So don't worry, BBY can be behind the times in some stores....

So people are getting emails, that's awesome! And they're saying to come pick up phones today? Wow, what happened to the 27th being the official street date and employees getting fired for selling them early? Good luck everyone, still waiting on an email here.....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] soritong:
I heard him talking to another guy in store today and they said they got the OK from AT&T to sell today. Now to figure out how to make it stop saying Life Companion on the front...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] bvic01:
I called around and found a store that had some. The store where I pre ordered doesn't have any yet but they said I could get one from a different store no problem. So I'm on my way now. I'll update if I get one. So excited!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] bigblue95z:
Nothing from me here at my local BestBuy. I haven't tried to call or anything. Just waiting for the email. My S3 is holding me over quite nicely, trying out a few ROMs I never did since it's about to go on Swappa. Hope there isn't too many that show up on there. lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] soritong:
See if there are any BBY Mobile specific shops around (not the whole Big Box Stores). Those seem to have them in stock.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] bigblue95z:
Only one is about 45 min away and I'm not that excited. If this were the S3 a year ago, I'd be going nuts! This one is evolution, not revolution.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] sam2c:
Called Best Buy big srores in El Segundo and Culver City CA. El Segundo has it in stock, but only to fulfil preoders. Will sell tomorrow. Culver city will sell today even if not preordered
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] KryptosXLayer2:
Swung by my local BBY where I have my pre-order at, and they still haven't received any for AT&T or Sprint yet.... kind of strange, but even if I don't get it for another week, I'm not stressing! Took pics of the cool things I did see there though (captions for the pics in order of attached):

Dummy S4's below the SIII's now, no labels on them

Close-up of S4 logo on battery door

Stand where they had some of the cases and flip covers, including the $59 Flip Views, so they're not selling them at the $69 suggested price reported right after Unpacked 2013 Part 1, that's good, but I'm still not spending $60 on a case that isn't made of anything exotic like carbon fiber!

Still hoping for an email today, if not, maybe tomorrow, and if it doesn't arrive for days, then that's more time devs have to get root access!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] bvic01:
I was able to grab one from a BBY mobile store in a mall known to not be busy. My store where i pre-ordered has yet to get theirs. They were able to cancel my pre-order at the second store and let me purchase a black one. They said they had enough to fill their pre-orders and a couple extra of each color. I told them about the other stores not having any and they mentioned the shortage reported by engadget. They did say they were slated to become a samsung experience store in the near future so maybe that made a difference. Maybe try calling BBY's with Samsung experience sections, you may have better luck. That's just a guess on my part though. I was going to get a screen protector, but got the S View case instead for 59.99. Figured that was equal to a case and a screen protector. Phone is awesome, even better in person. Good luck guys!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] KryptosXLayer2:
True, yeah this local store I'm pre-ordered at will become a Samsung Experience store at the end of May, but I haven't even tried to look around at BBYM stores - girls at the local BBY are nice enough to me to make me want to go back tomorrow if it arrives, :laugh: :good:

Congrats on finding one!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] joeyzadoe:
Am I the only one who didnt pre order to a store? I ordered one from the website to my house and didnt get an email yet :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] plmiller0905:
Well...I don't know what's going on..but I do know I was told when I got the BBz10 to make sure that it's the color I want because they don't allow you to exchange for a different color anymore.

My sister was told the same thing at a different BB when she got the Note 2 last week.

Maybe it's certain BB store, however, it's just something to be aware of..and you could very well be right, that it may have something to do with the device being new.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] bigblue95z:
Just got my call! Going in at noon (central time) to pick her up!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] KryptosXLayer2:
Picked up today and was plenty surprised that I was the 3rd person in line even though I was the first to pre-order - that means others pre-ordered and there some traffic, finally! Awesome....

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TommieM:
Are you experience these issues?

Android Samsung phone ActiveSync not working?

Android Samsung phone Push email not working?

Android Samsung phone email draining the battery?

I spent a massive amount of hours reading through other peoples posts on various forums to get their Exchange email to work on their Android device. Unfortunately, none of them worked for me. Android Push email using ActiveSync would work initially (one time only) and then it would keep trying to contact the Exchange Server and while doing so, it would drain my Samsung Galaxy Nexus I9250's battery.

I deleted the account on the phone and deleted the Exchange Server relationship with the phone using the Exchange Management Console, but it would always end up the same way; it worked for the first sync cycle then it just sat there and while trying to sync, it drained the Samsung Galaxy Nexus I9250's battery. I did this several times and always ended up with the same result; no email being pushed to my Samsung Galaxy Nexus I9250.

Here is how I solved the issue on my Samsung Galaxy Nexus I9250 Android phone:

Set up the account as you would normally do.

Make sure to set “Check Frequency” to “Automatic (push)”.

Once the initial sync is done, change the “Sync Options” to “Every 5 minutes”.

Let your device use this setting for an hour.

Now change the “Sync Options” to “Automatic (push)”.

To troubleshoot any email issues, start the email log function by doing the following:

Add a new email account using the email address d@d.d.

For the password, enter "debug" (without the quotes!).

Select the newly addedd acount Debug and select "Enable extra debug logging", "Enable Exchange parser logging" and "Enable Exchange sd card logging".

All email events will be logged to emaillog.txt in the root of your device SD card. You need an app such as "File Manager" to view the contents. Select the emaillog.txt and open the file with the File Managers text editor.

It takes some time (minutes) before you will see the log file!

Synchronizing my phone with the Exchange Server works great now! I get the emails at almost the same time as my PC gets it. Checking the battery usage, the email usage is gone! That’s how little battery it now uses!

BUT, when traveling back to my home country my SGS2 stays in the foreign network almost every time, and won't switch back to the home network. :( Is there a possibility to set up the preferred network for the phone? :confused: I remember in my old WinMo 6 Phone (HTC Wizard), there was a menu, where I could set up preferred networks.
