Yea I got upset and called T-Mobile again she guaranteed me I'd get my tracking on Monday and Tuesday it'd be here cause she could see it
[T-Mobile LG G2] tri0xinn:
While I was out and about today I stopped in at Verizon to check it out... and dang it's nice.. it was thinner and lighter than I imagined and the screen was fantastic. The small bezel was great.. my only issue with it having the software buttons is they take 10 percent of the screen so technically your getting the same usable space as the galaxys4 or htcone. It was right next to the Note2 demo unit and the poor note2 screen looked aged ... whites were terrible compared and the screen was noticeably dimmer.. and both brightness were turned to max. Messed around with it for a bit and it was flying. Whats also really cool is knowing the battery life is gonna be awesome along with everything else.. it's usually a trade off except for the note2.
[T-Mobile LG G2] agentscuba314:
At this point I don't know if I trust it. We've been screwed around so much on this preorder. I'm starting not to really care anymore
[T-Mobile LG G2] seth.i.simmons:
What shipping did you get again?
[T-Mobile LG G2] razball:
I got ground shipping 5-7 day
[T-Mobile LG G2] seth.i.simmons:
Same. Here's to hoping man, man, hopefully ours come first thing next week.
[T-Mobile LG G2] Nick12484:
I chose the same shipping option, and that is exactly what the last rep I talked to told me. Looked at my bank account a few minutes ago, and the hold for the shipping portion is gone. The hold for the money for the phone is still there. I don't know what to believe or what's going on. At this point I'm just gonna go with it, and hope that it arrives before the end of next week. I'm tired of calling them.
[T-Mobile LG G2] Droid800:
Same thing happened to me! Shipping is gone but phone is there. I'll wait until Monday, since the last few phones I've gotten tracking numbers on Sunday night. If I don't, T-Mobile is going to be getting a nasty phone call from me.
[T-Mobile LG G2] tri0xinn:
just to add to the confusion... I called 611.. the lady I talked to was from Salem , Or. .. not too far from me. Anyway she checked on my order .. said even though I've been charged and it still says backordered that since I called to cancel 2 days ago that it definitely will cancel out by Monday. THEN I can re-order. nice :eek: .... and to think I actually thought I might see it today :rolleyes:
[T-Mobile LG G2] Droid800:
This whole thing reminds me of the Verizon Thunderbolt fiasco.
[T-Mobile LG G2] Nick12484:
I definitely never cancelled so I am hoping to have a tracking number by Monday. I just hope I never have to deal with this insanity ever again! I think I'll just buy from stores from now on lol
[T-Mobile LG G2] jonathan3579:
WTF, now that's not cool. I mean I'm happy for you but that pisses me off.
[T-Mobile LG G2] bgaccord:
i think yours probably shipped today .i didnt receive any text or mail that it shipped , i check on order status and theres where i saw it.
[T-Mobile LG G2] Droid800:
Its never been this bad. Part of me thinks T-Mobile rushed it to beat att and Verizon, which is why the experience has been so ****ty.
[T-Mobile LG G2] razball:
Yea same in gonna try and forget about it lol

---------- Post added at 08:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:26 PM ----------

Well until Monday when I get the tracking then I won't sleep lol
[T-Mobile LG G2] Nick12484:
I've never had any trouble with online ordering from them till this time. My HTC One shipped to me without any issues. Just gonna let the cards fall where they may, and if I don't have my phone by the 17th someone at the call center isn't going to like me ;)
[T-Mobile LG G2] razball:
Oh that scares me
[T-Mobile LG G2] jonathan3579:
I'm on the phone with the cancellation department and she said she sees the request to cancel was put in and says it takes 24-48 hrs. She also said the same 'NOBODY IS BEING SHIPPED THIS PHONE UNTIL THE 25th' crap. I'm pissed off and have been chewing her out. She has me on hold for some reason... (Maybe to catch some air because I've been on her non-stop.)
[T-Mobile LG G2] bgaccord:
does people dont know S***t , try the chat ,
[T-Mobile LG G2] jonathan3579:
So here's what she did... She went to her supervisor and raised my EIP allowance for the next 24 hours so I can make another order. If the other order ships, I just refuse it to get my money back faster. I'm done and over this order.

Here's what pisses me off though, she DID raise my limit but now I'll be paying more for the phone. ($279.99 instead of $203.99)
[T-Mobile LG G2] razball:
BTW everyone just checked online tnobile and my tracking info is there I never got a notification or email or anything but it is now there
[T-Mobile LG G2] vegasdavek:
Com on guys... it wasn't supposed to even ship until the Official Launch online of the 18th anyways. Just be patient. Yes, it sucks that some people are getting theirs early while the rest of us aren't. But we knew that it was a "Pre-Order" (I mean hell, its in the thread title we are all posting on). My guess is that they are slating all of the "Ground" orders for delivery to us on the 17th or 18th (my ETA still shows the 17th on my order - no tracking number yet either). But even if they don't ship until the 18th, that would still jive with the original "Official Launch" information that they have made public.

Give the customer support people a break, they can only work with the information that they have. Be nice to them - its not like they are solicitor's calling you during dinner - those people you are allowed to be mean to, and its fun!
[T-Mobile LG G2] agentscuba314:
Lucky I still got nothing
[T-Mobile LG G2] jonathan3579:
Look, not to be rude but that's not how any preorder I've participated in has worked. I've ALWAYS gotten the phone anywhere from 3-14 days ahead of general release. The 18th is not the shipping date but the date that the phone was supposed to be open for sale and immediate shipping. If you had gone through any other preorders you'd understand how frustrating and sloppy this is.

Yep, same here!
[T-Mobile LG G2] razball:
Even on the site?
[T-Mobile LG G2] agentscuba314:
Yea. I check it frequently, and still nothing...
[T-Mobile LG G2] razball:
Weird it still says it's arriving on the 17th but at least I know for sure now
[T-Mobile LG G2] seth.i.simmons:
Still didn't get my tracking, even on the site :(
[T-Mobile LG G2] razball:
And when did you order etc? Cause if you ordered before me now you can call and say someone ordered after me with ground shipping and just got there tracking info worth a shot?
[T-Mobile LG G2] jonathan3579:
Hell, that's all I wanted. A for sure answer... Did you just let your order ride or did you make an attempt to cancel? I can Next Day this new order and have it on Monday.
[T-Mobile LG G2] razball:
I don't if you could get it Monday now unless where you are it's early I'm on est and I make an attempt to cancel lol
[T-Mobile LG G2] Nick12484:
No tracking info on the site for me either.....lame lol
[T-Mobile LG G2] razball:
If you're sure you can do that I would its one less day lol
[T-Mobile LG G2] jonathan3579:
Well, not only that but it's also a guaranteed delivery. I still don't know what is going on with my order. :confused:
[T-Mobile LG G2] razball:
Hmm interesting you could do it if you have the money
[T-Mobile LG G2] 1BadHEMI:
OMG, my tracking # FINALLY showed up on the site. No TXT or email, but at least I know I should have it Monday (overnight). Ordered on the 6th, placed on backorder on the 8th, called several times Wednesday and Thursday to no avail, other than getting pissed, and just let it go today. My card was charged on the 12th. This was an upgrade on my line. Black ordered.

To the other guy who said give T-Mobile a break, the phone wasn't supposed to ship till blah blah blah... This has been the most insane preorder I have ever been a part of. Typically, orders placed should be put into a cue on order received, and then shipped in that order. This preorder however, most people who ordered between the 5th and 7th royally got screwed over! And yes, on most preorders, you typically get your device days ahead of the national launch.

Anyhow, hopefully they get this crap together for the rest of you still waiting. There customer service is totally useless, and have no clue how to tell an answer to someone, other than what is scripted in front of them on the computer screen...
[T-Mobile LG G2] superhtchd2:
ordered my tmobile g2 yesterday and recieved it today! stores had no clue when they would have it but telesales has it ready for shipping.
[T-Mobile LG G2] Droid800:
Except orders opened yesterday, not on the 18th. Also, people that ordered as late as Wednesday have already received their tracking numbers.
[T-Mobile LG G2] razball:
Holy crap with over night shipping ? Color?
[T-Mobile LG G2] Droid800:
When did you order again? Also just checked mine and no tracking number.
[T-Mobile LG G2] razball:
I ordered the 8th black. 5-7 day ground
[T-Mobile LG G2] Droid800:
Grrr. Mine was the 6th.
[T-Mobile LG G2] Nick12484:
I seriously don't think I've ever wanted a tracking number so badly hahahaha
[T-Mobile LG G2] razball:
So you could call and say I got it before lol and I'm sure they'll figure something out
[T-Mobile LG G2] ayman86:
i couldnt wait. just made my order. black/ground
[T-Mobile LG G2] EuroSpeed:
Placed order on the 5th and still nothing. Not sure what to do. Lol. Still showing that it's back ordered. I'm trying really hard to be patient.
[T-Mobile LG G2] razball:
Did you get a charge yet?
[T-Mobile LG G2] Droid800:
Oh tforce is going to get a nasty email later tonight. On another forum someone that ordered on the 12th already has their tracking and is getting it on Monday.
[T-Mobile LG G2] razball:
Someone ordered yesterday and got it today
[T-Mobile LG G2] superhtchd2:
they gave me the quick window case for free as well. think its some promotion when you buy the g2.
[T-Mobile LG G2] razball:
Are you a new customer or was it an upgrade
[T-Mobile LG G2] Droid800:
I have the pending charge, yeah. The shipping charge is gone though.
[T-Mobile LG G2] razball:
My shipping charge disappeared to lol so yours has probably shipped
[T-Mobile LG G2] superhtchd2:
new..
[T-Mobile LG G2] razball:
Oh okay yea only new get the case upgrades dont
[T-Mobile LG G2] superhtchd2:
oh gotcha.
[T-Mobile LG G2] razball:
Yea lol you're lucky you got yours so quick
[T-Mobile LG G2] Droid800:
I just sent tforce my angry email. I told them it was ridiculous they couldn't give me basic information about my order, and how useless they've been. I was polite as possible.
[T-Mobile LG G2] razball:
Lmao nice
[T-Mobile LG G2] superhtchd2:
a buddy ordered one yesterday also but didnt overnite it. he has tracking info for being delivered monday.
[T-Mobile LG G2] RiverdALIEN:
so if it's not true then why was my phone on backorder wednesday, then i received a tracking number thursday? and why is my phone arriving monday? dont ever call me a liar dummy
[T-Mobile LG G2] S1D3winder016:
After having my original order cancelled for no reason in the fabric of space and time, I reordered yesterday and even then I had problems, they didn't give me a status on my T-Mobile activity, but I called them and they said it has been shipped and she has no idea why I didn't get the order status on my account, she also gave me the order number so it's all good, so in the end everything is finally set and ready to go baby! YEEEAAAHHHH BOYYYYYY! I chose next day and it has an estimated for the 16th but it could come sooner, ya never know!
[T-Mobile LG G2] superhtchd2:
att/verizon root method works on the tmob version. just rooted it :)
[T-Mobile LG G2] jonathan3579:
So for those of us who tried to cancel yesterday... Well, after calling back and b*tching some more, it's now believed that my order is cancelled but there was no explanation why I was charged after the request was sent in other than "well that only happens when a phone is shipped" so I'm now even deeper in this mess than before. I do NOT want to spend more on this phone despite the fact that I can make a new order. So in short, who the hell knows. I definitely do not have a tracking number on my account and this whole affair has literally worn my excitement thin.
[T-Mobile LG G2] Droid800:
Because it isn't true? Whoever told you that is the liar, not you.
[T-Mobile LG G2] tri0xinn:
Yep.. I'm in the same boat.. what a buncha bull.. I cancelled 2 days ago just because I didn't want to wait the 7-10 days shipping.. now come to find out most people who ordered standard shipping are getting them sooner. I was told mine would ship on the 13th but wouldnt' arrive till the 26th or so because of the ground shipping. Well .. live and learn I guess
[T-Mobile LG G2] Droid800:
Wow. Just checked, and the tracking number was finally added. It just says the label was created, so I probably won't get it until Tuesday or Wednesday. Effing T-Mobile.
[T-Mobile LG G2] Nick12484:
I upgraded two lines, ordered a black and white. One is labeled shipped and the other is labeled backordered lol. Well at least the one for me has shipped :D I'm sure the other won't be far behind. It's about time T-Mobile!
[T-Mobile LG G2] mikea3000:
Which shipping option did you pick?

I also finally got a tracking #. Took so long considering I ordered on the 5th. Its ok I guess, still probably gonna get it before the original date of 9/18. Still a very sloppy launch. Whatever happened to first come first served.
[T-Mobile LG G2] tri0xinn:
Ok.. literally within a minute of hitting post on my last post I received a txt. Now I have a tracking # as well but like your's it says label created. I was told that my order was definitely gonna be cancelled earlier today.. and I would be able to re-order on Monday. I've called 3 times over the last 4 days and literally have gotten different answers every time.. and the last person seemed like they knew for a fact what was going on. Holy Crap! ... anyway once I see some sort of movement on the tracking I'll feel better about it.. I just really hope it doesn't take 7-10 business days to receive it. Anyone with tracking... where do these ship from? I'm sure it will be as far away as possible...
[T-Mobile LG G2] Droid800:
I did the 3-5 business day.
[T-Mobile LG G2] mikea3000:
I bet you that it will come by Monday for you.
[T-Mobile LG G2] Droid800:
I'll feel better when I see some movement too. The last phone I ordered it said label created until 9 pm on Sunday, when it magically appeared at the sort facility in Chicago.
[T-Mobile LG G2] razball:
I just came out lucky I out a cancelation in but it didn't go through
[T-Mobile LG G2] agentscuba314:
Finally got my tracking...
[T-Mobile LG G2] razball:
Nice
[T-Mobile LG G2] jonathan3579:
My phone was shipped and will be here Tuesday as planned. What a freakin roller coaster!
[T-Mobile LG G2] razball:
Nice dude that's awesome
[T-Mobile LG G2] jonathan3579:
So have we all hit the conclusion we were looking for? I was seriously have second thoughts if my order was cancelled. We all kept each other worked up and busy enough to pass the time by though. Lol
[T-Mobile LG G2] razball:
Lol thats definitely true I still think it'll be worth it from the review ive been reading and watching and the 30 day challenge phone dog is doing
[T-Mobile LG G2] seth.i.simmons:
Just got my tracking need number too, frick yeah! Says label created as well, but it could still arrive by Monday, maybe? Lol, I don't care. Glad my attempt to cancel failed and it shipped anyways :P
[T-Mobile LG G2] jonathan3579:
I'm a little bummed over the case but not a single one of the reps I talked to budged. On the bright side, the case and screen protector I ordered are expected to be delivered Tuesday too. I'm glad we finally have our souls soothed for now. Lmao. How's Aaron been liking the phone? I haven't kept up with his challenge on this phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2] Droid800:
I may not rake my phone out of the house until the case comes! I ordered a diztronic one that should hopefully come Wednesday.
[T-Mobile LG G2] S1D3winder016:
Mine shipped yesterday and it said "LG G2 - Black $680, "LG D801 G2 QUICK WINDOW FOLIO CASE $0.00". I got an upgrade so it seems it does come with the case even if you're an existing member!
[T-Mobile LG G2] tri0xinn:
Hey good catch.. I was wondering why I got 2 emails.. one that said charge 165.. and the other charge 0.... I just looked again and the 0 charge was the Case! awesome!.. I'm also an existing upgrading cutomer.

EDIT____ So the phone I'm getting is Black.. and of course the case is white? what's that all about.. guess if I don't open it I can probably swap it at a tmobile store when they get some in... or maybe I'll like the white?
[T-Mobile LG G2] S1D3winder016:
Damn, I hate white phones! Oh well, I probably wont use it anyway because I already ordered a ballistic case on Amazon! I love those ballistic cases! So cool looking!
[T-Mobile LG G2] 1BadHEMI:
Got the email tracking # last night. Also, recieved the case as well even though I ordered on the 6th before the promotion. Kudos for them stepping up with that. Mine was an upgrade as well.
[T-Mobile LG G2] eduardmc:
Got my tracking info last night. Should be here on wednesday. Im upgrading, has anyone gotten a free window case with an upgrade. By the white mine is a white version.
[T-Mobile LG G2] mikea3000:
I also unexpectedly got the email for the free case even though mine is an upgrade. Not too crazy about a white case on a black phone, but still free is free.
[T-Mobile LG G2] seth.i.simmons:
Just got the emails overnight. I'm upgrading, and am apparently getting the white quickwindow case as well! My tracking also updated overnight, has shipped, and has an estimated arrival date of Tuesday, the 17th. That's with the cheapest 5-7 day shipping.
[T-Mobile LG G2] Nick12484:
I'm getting a case too. They already gave me a bill discount for not getting the case. I wonder if they'll notice lol

Edit: only one of the upgrades shipped, the black one to be exact. The other upgrade hasn't been updated, the white one. Weird, I'm assuming it prolly has shipped or is very close to shipping.
[T-Mobile LG G2] razball:
Nice things are looking better for everyone now lol

---------- Post added at 09:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:11 AM ----------

He said he likes most of everything and the battery life is phenomenal and its super quick and he loves the knock on feature as does everyone lol and he likes how it holds even though its bigger screen its still easily managed and doesn't bulge in the pocket

---------- Post added at 09:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:12 AM ----------

Here's a good question what's the weight of your shipment? Lol

---------- Post added at 09:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:14 AM ----------

Yea I didn't notice earlier but I got the case too
[T-Mobile LG G2] seth.i.simmons:
My shipment is 1.2lbs.
[T-Mobile LG G2] razball:
Yea same in getting the case just checked lol I wonder how white on black will look
[T-Mobile LG G2] jonathan3579:
Just checked and I got two emails at 3:40 AM and it was for the phone and case. Sweet! Nobody else who received their phones already mentioned the case but all of us who got our tracking yesterday have gotten it. I wonder if they got it or we just caused such an uproar hahaha
[T-Mobile LG G2] razball:
This is a good idea if the functionality which is why I wanted this case and gives you an idea of how much of the phone shows compared to just case lol https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dnHUj6XMpi0&feature=youtube_gdata_player

---------- Post added at 09:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:31 AM ----------

My question is it only lights up a portion of the screen does it still light up the rest as it is an IPS display? I thought only amoled could do that?
[T-Mobile LG G2] Droid800:
Supposedly lg found a way to only light up half of the display.
[T-Mobile LG G2] razball:
Hmm where'd you find that info lol I need to read lol
[T-Mobile LG G2] jonathan3579:
I read on Android Central that it only lights that portion and it is possible because of the unique graphic ram. There may be more trickery to it though.
[T-Mobile LG G2] razball:
Hmm okay I'll read up
[T-Mobile LG G2] Droid800:
Well, my tracking updated and it says it will be here Tuesday. (Which I'm fine with) Its already in Indiana though, so it may get here Monday.
[T-Mobile LG G2] jonathan3579:
I'm definitely not going to call and complain anymore. Lol. I have my free case, phone in the mail, and a $25 credit so I feel like I did okay. Lmao
[T-Mobile LG G2] seth.i.simmons:
From what I understand of the tech involved, the whole screen WILL be back lit, but because of the implementation of GRAM, only the active portion of the screen is being refreshed and updated, as well as using cpu/GPU power.
[T-Mobile LG G2] razball:
Okay that makes perfect sense so its still technically using the whole screen but actual usage is only coming from a piece which will save battery life if you're just checking the time or if you have notifications lol I just wanted to make sure it would save battery life lol
[T-Mobile LG G2] razball:
It's weird with ups I've never had them be early, I wonder why they wouldn't make it early. Literally I had it wait over a day in a city right next to me lol

Mines in Knoxville already lol I'm in Tampa
[T-Mobile LG G2] Z-Man™:
Awesome I got the receipt for the case as well even though it was a upgrade
[T-Mobile LG G2] jonathan3579:
The only thing that makes me a little sad is that the T-Mobile site still says estimated date of 9/17 but the UPS site says 9/18. I've only had UPS move a package forward maybe once or twice but I somehow doubt they will considering how badly I want this one. Lol. They didn't change my order to reflect having a free gift so I only know it's there from the second email.
[T-Mobile LG G2] Z-Man™:
Ya well T-Mobile still says the 27th but ups says the 17th I'm just happy it's early
[T-Mobile LG G2] zainqaiser:
Well those of u are u getting free case..did u guys receive a seperate email for the case or just one email with a receipt of phone and case??
[T-Mobile LG G2] jonathan3579:
I got two emails that my order has shipped. One was the phone with the price and the other was the case with $0.00
[T-Mobile LG G2] razball:
Same got 2 separate emails but on my phone and gmail combined them to one thread which I didn't notice and first

---------- Post added at 10:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:49 AM ----------

I actually feel like an idiot but anyone know how to do a review on a phone on t-mobile lol?

Normally there is a button to review but I can't find it.
[T-Mobile LG G2] jonathan3579:
I still wanna know if those who received before us got the case. If not, then I'm not mad I had to wait. (Just mad about the wild goose T-Mobile had me chasing.)
[T-Mobile LG G2] razball:
For those of you that got the case if you go to t-mobiles site and look at one of the main pages on the home page it has the Black G2 in the white case doesn't look that bad actually.

---------- Post added at 04:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:32 PM ----------

I don't even mind. Its free, and it'll provide at least some protection until the other cases I've ordered arrive.
[T-Mobile LG G2] razball:
I'm so careful with my phones I always go naked lol the only case I'll buy is a sleeve believe it or not
[T-Mobile LG G2] agentscuba314:
I didn't ask about the free case or anything, I got my email today confirming everything and they automatically added it to my upgrade
[T-Mobile LG G2] razball:
Never ordered from t-mobile online before the G2. When does the eip kick in?
