I really wish they would change the price for us with "building credit". It should show somewhere around $259-$279 up front with $13 a month payment. It's still showing $99 with $21 monthly. I'm pretty sure my order would be canceled if I bought it now also I would rather pay the lower monthly cost. I hope it doesn't take until the 25th for that to happen
[T-Mobile LG G2] razball:
You can try ordering and hope it works out? That's what I did
[T-Mobile LG G2] Dan37tz:
Whooo Hooo Just got my shipping notification from T-Mobile. Ordered on 9/6 with an estimated delivery of 9/11. Looks like Christmas is coming early folks...

Paid for $11.99 overnight shipping by the way. Go T-Mobile!!!
[T-Mobile LG G2] ayman86:
how did you get it for 12? says 25 on the site
[T-Mobile LG G2] bgaccord:
u lucky
[T-Mobile LG G2] Dan37tz:
Have no idea, I was expecting it next Wednesday the 18th, which is the website release date.

Funny thing is my order was in "Backordered" status for the last couple days, then all of a sudden I get a shipping confirmation with a tracking number. :good:
[T-Mobile LG G2] bgaccord:
post pics when u get it
[T-Mobile LG G2] razball:
I'm so envious damn it
[T-Mobile LG G2] akong702:
WHAT!!!! I'm so jealous. I ordered on 9/5 with next day, and still no shipping confirmation or change on order status page. WTF T-mobile!!!!!! Still, I'm happy you're getting yours tomorrow :crying:

It's probably because I ordered the white one... delayed :(

Also, the charge on my credit card is gone?? What the heck is going on? They did deny my order or something?
[T-Mobile LG G2] razball:
I'd call 611 and ask just say shipments at the begging after selecting language

---------- Post added at 12:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:48 AM ----------

They also normally don't charge you till it ships
[T-Mobile LG G2] akong702:
yeah, there was an auth on my card when I placed my order, and now it disappeared. But, i did talk to a rep and my order is still in place, and as usual, back ordered, and they don't know when it will ship.
[T-Mobile LG G2] katamari201:
$604 is too expensive. Flagship phones use to be $500, or less. Now everyone is A-okay with going into Apple iPhone territory, over $600. People complain about the Apple tax, but at least there's glass and metal on that phone. Now we have the Samsung tax, HTC tax, and LG tax. Sony is by far the worst, pricing their old Xperia Z on T-mobile like its a current flagship. And even Apple is rolling their eyes at Nokia and their $299 on contract Lumia 1020, $700 smackers off contract, with an all plastic body and last year specs. Samsung is getting arrogant with their marketshare so they are pricing the S4 sky high, but it doesn't make sense for LG, who uses the same cheap plastic designs. Their margins are also ridiculous now. 100% or more. These plastic phones cost under $300 and closer to $200 to make. The R&D cost is overblown as well, especially at their volume. We need to curb the prices back down to earth so it doesn't exceed half a grand. They are getting away with too much profit margin, especially for iterative things like phones that come out every year, or every six months.
[T-Mobile LG G2] jonathan3579:
Are you a new customer? I ask because of the SIM Starter Kit. (My order doesn't include that.)
[T-Mobile LG G2] Dan37tz:
No already have 2 personal lines on T-Mobile (HTC One and Galaxy S4), adding a 3rd line for the LG G2. The S4 is a big pile of **** btw.

Also have a Note 3 on my AT&T work line on order so I'll see how the N3 stacks up to the G2 soon.

:good::good:

---------- Post added at 08:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:58 AM ----------

Has anybody else from T-mobile receive a shipping confirmation besides me??
[T-Mobile LG G2] akong702:
Looks like it's just you. Lucky guy :)
[T-Mobile LG G2] razball:
Yep just you D;
[T-Mobile LG G2] jonathan3579:
I just checked mine this morning and it still says backordered with a date of 9/17. Bummer.
[T-Mobile LG G2] akong702:
So uhh I chatted with a T-Mobile rep, and she says my order is not even on the system anymore... Wtf. Gonna call, and see what the hell is going on. Oh btw, let us know if the quad beat 2 headphones are included.
[T-Mobile LG G2] Dan37tz:
Will do, I am also very curious if they included the quad beats.

It probably won't though because even the G2 on AT&T doesn't include it.

The HTC One on AT&T came with some pretty good headphones and the One on T-Mobile didn't get anything so it's not looking good.
[T-Mobile LG G2] Dan37tz:
On Vehicle and out for delivery. :good:

If you guys have any questions about it I'll try to answer it once I get home.
[T-Mobile LG G2] razball:
It pisses me off when they say out for delivery at 7am and it doesn't get to you till 5pm lol
[T-Mobile LG G2] Nick12484:
I just talked with a T-Mobile rep as the two I ordered are still listed as backordered. She told me I should be receiving texts with tracking numbers any time. She said both orders are listed as being processed for shipping. Looks like they are starting to ship them out. I choose normal shipping so my wait will be a little longer. Can't wait!
[T-Mobile LG G2] akong702:
Hopefully it does come with it. Those are some premium headphones. You're so lucky!!
[T-Mobile LG G2] razball:
I just talked to a rep and they said mine would probably come the 19th. And I have a delivery date of the 17th. I asked what would happen for the people that order online on the 18th? She said they'll probably be back ordered too lol. So just another random rep giving out upsetting info lol
[T-Mobile LG G2] bgaccord:
So stores are selling till Sep 25? No sooner
[T-Mobile LG G2] jonathan3579:
You know what's weird is that yesterday there was a charge on my card that said T-Mobile upgrade $7.57 and I have no idea what that was for or about. There is no such thing listed in my account. This launch seems kinda sloppy.
[T-Mobile LG G2] akong702:
Yeah, the auth on my credit card disappeared too. I jus called tele sales, and they do have my order. Unfortunately, the rep only knows that it's back ordered, and will ship on the 18th. That's gonna be a loooong wait.
[T-Mobile LG G2] tri0xinn:
I'd be interested in anyone that has this how the contrast is.. I had a optimus pro G and it was great but the contrast compared to samoled was not even close.. a couple reviewers mention they have improved contrast to the point it's samoled'ish without the oversaturation of colors. Would be interested in what people who have experienced it think. I just put in an order today.. backordered and that it's expected to ship within 5 days.. I paid for next day shipping.. hoping to get it by the 20th.
[T-Mobile LG G2] vegasdavek:
The T-Mobile Authorizations are weird. I have a $1.00 one listed as pending on my card from my order on the 9th and then another $7.55 one that is pending from the 10th (I only have the 1 order for the G2 in my account).

Overall though, seriously just be patient. The order page was a "Pre-Order" page. They have said all along that they are not available online until the 18th. Today is only the 11th and that is still a week away. My guess is that they ship pre-orders out so that they deliver to customers on the 18th or 19th.
[T-Mobile LG G2] razball:
This is a t-mo model right?
[T-Mobile LG G2] Dan37tz:
Yep.
[T-Mobile LG G2] razball:
And I'm assuming you work till 5 Pst
[T-Mobile LG G2] Dan37tz:
I'll be home at 5 PST, so I'll take first hand unboxing T-Mobile G2 pictures. =)
[T-Mobile LG G2] razball:
You should video it lol you're like the first person receiving the g2 for tmo
[T-Mobile LG G2] bgaccord:
Take pics n video
[T-Mobile LG G2] Dan37tz:
Ehhh... I think a video is out of the question lol, plus I don't think you guys want to listen to my annoying voice anyway. :silly:

I'll take lots of pictures for you guys though.:good:
[T-Mobile LG G2] psychoace:
Looks like the QuickWindow Case has been added as a free gift if you buy the G2. Unsure if it's only for new accounts instead of upgrades but it's an option now. Hopefully they include it for all orders
[T-Mobile LG G2] akong702:
Gonna have to call T-Mobile about that promo. When I pre ordered on the 5th it didn't have that. Free stuff is always good, especially since T-Mobile won't include those quad beat headphones.
[T-Mobile LG G2] razball:
Where'd you find that?
[T-Mobile LG G2] psychoace:
http://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phones/lg-g2.html

If you look above the price it says the case is a free gift.
[T-Mobile LG G2] Dan37tz:
Well, it's finally here. I arrived home just when the UPS truck pulled up, what perfect timing eh?

Unfortunately no Quad Beats headphones included, but then again I wasn't expecting it. Gonna go have dinner then I'll turn it on and play with it. So excited. :laugh:

Rest of the pics are here.

[T-Mobile LG G2] psychoace:
That UPS lady looks pissed.
[T-Mobile LG G2] razball:
You should get them to send you a case lol
[T-Mobile LG G2] agentscuba314:
What internal storage space does it have? The 16 or 32?
[T-Mobile LG G2] razball:
Looks like cause the web promotion started today anyone that order before that won't get it. I'm still on the line to see if they can make an exception or cancel lol
[T-Mobile LG G2] psychoace:
The G2 only comes in 32gigs
[T-Mobile LG G2] agentscuba314:
Just making sure, I saw the south Korean version had 16 and was hoping the USA carriers didn't take the cheap way out.
[T-Mobile LG G2] psychoace:
That one had a microsd slot. The versions without a microsd option are 32gigs. Always confusing dealing with weird international versions.
[T-Mobile LG G2] razball:
Okay you have to cancel and re order but canceling takes about 24hrs. But they added something new to the site it says back ordered will ship with in 5 business days of purchase so that gives a time frame for everyone and that's officially on there site.
[T-Mobile LG G2] agentscuba314:
I'm just dreading I chose the white one, no telling when I will receive it. Expected day was the 12. I ordered on the 09/06.
[T-Mobile LG G2] psychoace:
It has been like that for a week. It's mostly there because the item is still in pre-order. The same thing happened with the F6 when it was up for preorder.
[T-Mobile LG G2] razball:
Oh hmm **** guess I didn't notice lol
[T-Mobile LG G2] djkinetic:
Gratz I'm not sure if you're feeling adventurous but you can now try to root it via the method I posted to see if it works and give some feedback =P
[T-Mobile LG G2] Damented:
They took it out of preorder on there site. you can go ahead and order it now , they did take the 99.99 down away and now its 279.99 down I think. I just spoke to them on the phone because my order says back order eta is 9/16th. he says it's because they are out of them at warehouse and he don't know when they getting them in. HE said they will send me a email when they arrive. so then I said what about this eta of the 16th. he said Oh.. and hesitated and said " They always give eta of 5 business days out from order.".
[T-Mobile LG G2] razball:
Damn well let's just hope tomorrow morning Lg's shipment comes in and they ship everything tomorrow lol because this is just ridiculous you'd think lg would have predicted a nice amount of orders seeing as they made one sweet device
[T-Mobile LG G2] Damented:
I just hope they ship it before they get the Z1..lol I am still having mixed feelings about the two phones.
[T-Mobile LG G2] tri0xinn:
My order was cancelled yesterday.. I talked to a telesales and they couldn't order.. so I went back online and ordered again and the order went through.. I got the $99 down price but how can I tell if the case is included? Would it be all orders that were placed today?
[T-Mobile LG G2] akong702:
Sony z1 is nice and all, but those bezels... Turns me off
[T-Mobile LG G2] razball:
I would think so

---------- Post added at 10:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:35 PM ----------

Yea same I can't go from a nexus 4

To larger bezels
[T-Mobile LG G2] S1D3winder016:
I pre-ordered mine on the 7th, Will the people who ordered around my time get that free gift or are we **** outta luck? Because I didnt see that when I ordered it, I just looked and it was there (Free gift: Quick window) Mine also said expect delivery date the 17th!
[T-Mobile LG G2] razball:
We won't you have to cancel and re order except canceling takes 24hrs
[T-Mobile LG G2] jonathan3579:
Do they actually send the free stuff after they add a promotion like this? I've never dealt with it before. I hate to cancel again for it but at the same time I want the free gift. Lol.
[T-Mobile LG G2] razball:
Ha idk they may you can always ask
[T-Mobile LG G2] psychoace:
You have to cancel
[T-Mobile LG G2] akong702:
Yeah, cancelling and re ordering seems like a hassle. I'm just gonna let it go through. Can't stand waiting any longer. One thing I will dispute though is the price. Bought it for $629 and now it's $603...
[T-Mobile LG G2] S1D3winder016:
http://www.amzer.com/Amzer-Double-Layer-Hybrid-Case-with-Kickstand-Black-Black-P96176.htm

I love that case, but would it work for the T-Mobile version or does it matter?
[T-Mobile LG G2] razball:
Yea they can change that but the gift is like its not in the systems ability but they can always add credit
[T-Mobile LG G2] psychoace:
Considering T-Mobile's version is the same physical body as the international and att version it will most likely work. It's just the Verizon people who have to worry
[T-Mobile LG G2] jonathan3579:
I thought it was $603.99 the whole time since that's what it came up for me on 9/9. I'm going to call tomorrow and see if they'll A.) Add the free gift or B.) Just give me the credit onto my line.
[T-Mobile LG G2] razball:
The gift they won't I tried lol maybe they'll do a credit though and BTW guys a glitch in tmobiles system has happened to me twice now. If you can pay down a device enough and then pay a lump some say like $200 and pay the phone off with that $200 some how T-Mobile pays it off as well adds the same amount as a "payment" and credits your bill I've done it twice once for $225 once for $150 a couple days ago don't spread to much please as I'd like to continue to get that lol

---------- Post added at 11:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:17 PM ----------

Oh and you're welcome lmao its awesome
[T-Mobile LG G2] jonathan3579:
I'd like a little more details on this. Feel free to PM me on this one if you wanna keep it hush hush. I'd appreciate it. Lol.
[T-Mobile LG G2] tri0xinn:
Sheesh! Just cancelled my order. I called to check to see if I was in for the free case since I ordered today.. she said no. Also I was also told my shipment was ground.. I really thought I chose Next day.. guess I didn't. Anyway she said I would receive the phone by the 24th.. she said the phone doesn't appear to be in backorder anymore and would likely ship tomorrow.. but ground shipping is 7-10 business days.. thus the 24th arrival. ANYWAY.. she said if I cancelled the order I could re-order sometime within the next 24 hours ... get the option for next day shipping as well as get the free case. So I did. Now I'm waiting for the cancellation confirmation.. and hoping everything stays the same for the next 24 hours. Kinda crazy they can't edit an order that hasn't shipped or hasn't been charged for yet. Well hopefully I get a cancellation confirmation tonight so I get this thing going.... again.
[T-Mobile LG G2] razball:
Yea I know its a little ridiculous I know the technology is there lol
[T-Mobile LG G2] tri0xinn:
Yeah.. I do hope they cancel quick though.... I just went through an order and this time at the end when it gave me the option of next day shipping it said I would received it 9/13... on Friday.. that would be awesome!
[T-Mobile LG G2] razball:
Wow that would be crazy lol
[T-Mobile LG G2] akong702:
[MENTION=3995989]Dan37tz[/MENTION] So, how's your new phone? lol. You haven't come back here and tell us how it is :laugh: Okay, so I've talked to 4 reps now, and they are all giving me the same excuse. The phone will ship when they get it on the 18th... So, I give up, I'm just gonna wait it out, and drool over the people getting theirs. :crying:
[T-Mobile LG G2] RiverdALIEN:
I pre-ordered through t-mobile and signed up for JUMP

does anyone know what the details are on the free Quick Window cases? like what color, etc. I ordered over the phone and the guy never asked me about it but I figure I can call them back and if it's only for online orders still get them to toss me one for being a great customer etc
[T-Mobile LG G2] Dan37tz:
Been playing with the phone for most of the night.

All I can say is...WOW.

This thing is freakishly outstandingly good! Fastest experience I have had on ANY smartphone, Android or IOS. This thing just blasts through anything at ludicrous speeds. Web browsing is the smoothest I have experienced. Camera takes some beautiful shots, shutter is FAST, not HTC One fast but much faster than the S4.

Battery life has been amazing so far also. I put it on the charger for what seemed to be 30 minutes and it went from 40 percent to 98 percent. Wow talk about speed charging.

I'm already used to the button layout on the back, Knock Knock has worked flawlessly so far.

I'm really liking the LG UI compared to TW and Sense, soooo much customization options. Out of the box it has about 25GB of free user accessible space.

Signal has also been outstanding, I'm getting 3-4 bars of LTE in my room, my S4 would manage 1 or 2 and cut in and out between LTE and H+, the HTC One could not hold an LTE signal at all in my room.

There are very few negatives so far....

One of them so far is that Asphalt 8: Airborne is not yet supported in the playstore for the LG G2, I had to download a hacked APK version to get my new favorite game to work....and boy does it FLY! It is smooth, like 60+ fps smooth throughout the game. My HTC One would come to a crawl on the Tokyo level, the G2 rips through it like nothing at all.

Another one is the speaker volume level, it is VERY low for some reason. I guess I am spoiled with the speakers on the HTC One but the G2 speakers are very, very low. Seems much quieter than the S4 even. Oh well I hope a software update will fix it.

Other than those two, I can't find a damn thing wrong with it. I am in LOVE, it's 2:14 am and I'm still up playing with it... :good:
[T-Mobile LG G2] S1D3winder016:
you lucky ass mofo! lol jk, sounds great! Can't wait for mine! Can you root it yet or do we have to wait a little bit longer?
[T-Mobile LG G2] razball:
Damn that's exciting

---------- Post added at 10:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:19 AM ----------

Looks like T-Mobile is the only one back ordered or T-Mobile is the only one that truly allows its members to upgrade whenever lol
[T-Mobile LG G2] djkinetic:
Try the Att root I posted.
[T-Mobile LG G2] razball:
How's the battery life? Like usage and screen time? I know it's good but I'd like to hear from and xda member and not a reviewer.
[T-Mobile LG G2] djkinetic:
So far it has been excellent I've gotten 5 hrs of screen time and still has juice left over.. Easily can make it through the day with normal usage.
[T-Mobile LG G2] razball:
That's beautiful my nexus 4 can barely hit 3 1/2 lol
[T-Mobile LG G2] jonathan3579:
Screw it, I'm cancelling my order and going to reorder with Next Day and see how this turns out. The rep(s!) I spoke to this morning said there's nothing they can do about me not getting that case so my only option is to reorder. They said there was a 3 day delay on my original order so I'm saying to hell with this cursed order. Lol.
[T-Mobile LG G2] Semantics:
I've never heard that T-Mo was giving a case away with the phone. I ordered mine on the 9th, got my tracking number saying it will be here tomorrow. Where did you read about a free case?
[T-Mobile LG G2] razball:
If you go to tmobiles website and look at the lg g2s page right above price. They started the promotion yesterday.
[T-Mobile LG G2] akong702:
T-Mobile seriously is screwing up. I ordered on the 5th and I still don't have tracking or anything. I can't even get the case, and the price went down from $629 to $603. What a sloppy launch on their part.
[T-Mobile LG G2] razball:
What's the cost on over night?
[T-Mobile LG G2] jonathan3579:
I guess it was something they added within the last 48 hours but if you go here: http://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phones/lg-g2.html you'll see under the full retail price that they're including a free LG QuickWindow™ Case ($49.99 value).

I believe it's $24.99 and 3-5 business is $14.99 but I won't know until I redo my order which I'm in the process of trying right now. The rep just said that there's a very high chance that my order will actually ship faster. (It seemed like she was definitely hinting it would.)

Well, I can't redo my order right now as the phone is showing up full price and I'm not about to pay that.
[T-Mobile LG G2] Semantics:
12 Dollars.
[T-Mobile LG G2] ayman86:
maybe its me, but i only see the following shipping options

$6.99 - UPS Ground (5-7 business days)

$14.99 - 3-day shipping via UPS Express (3-4 business days)

$24.99 - UPS Expedited Next Day Air Express (1-2 business days)

if it was 12 dollars, id do it
[T-Mobile LG G2] Semantics:
I ordered through Telesales on the 9th. It was 12 dollars for next day she said. I went with free 2-4 days. I doubt I'm getting the case, also. What a launch, T-Mo, what a launch.
[T-Mobile LG G2] razball:
I just cancelled to but they say it takes 24 hrs so I hope this over night shipping is worth it. But then again the case is worth it.
[T-Mobile LG G2] Semantics:
I'm just going to take delivery of my phone tomorrow, and if there is no case, demand they send one. It's advertised on their site, I'm sure if I speak to someone they will ship it out.
[T-Mobile LG G2] razball:
Possible but Idk cause I asked and they said no not possible.
[T-Mobile LG G2] jonathan3579:
I just called back to find out about the $7.57 charge and this rep said she cannot guarantee my order can be cancelled because my order is 'pending shipping' so now I'm even more pissed off about all of this. If my order ships, it'll take 7-10 days to receive, then I have to refuse the order if I want that case, then they have to receive it back, then it takes another 24-48 hours to say my order was cancelled, then I can reorder. Nobody seems to have a freaking clue what's going on with inventory or people's orders. I GIVE UP! :mad:
[T-Mobile LG G2] EuroSpeed:
I placed my order on the fifth and I still haven't got an update, it shows that it is still backordered.
[T-Mobile LG G2] razball:
I just cancelled mine so I think you can I had the same charge but since it was on back order they can cancel it. And the over night shipping price is 11.99 for new orders not upgrades, that really pisses me off.
[T-Mobile LG G2] ayman86:
IMO, this launch is similar to the htc one.

they did state online orders start the 18th. anything before hand, its awesome.

the htc one orders had a free car dock. the invoice had no mention but most got one. i did
[T-Mobile LG G2] razball:
it also looks like upgrades can't get the case.
[T-Mobile LG G2] jonathan3579:
Mine said it:

Plan	Value (No Contract) Unlimited TT	$50.00/month

Phone	HTCÂ® One - Glacial Silver

$12.50/mo. (over 24 months)	$279.99

Service	500MB	$0.00/month

Accessories	HTC ONE CAR DOCK PROMO - Quantity: 1	$0.00

This launch is way sloppier than the HTC One for sure.

If that's the case then I am gonna go ape s**t on them for suggesting I cancel to get what I wanted.
[T-Mobile LG G2] razball:
How to verify what I just said is go to tmobile site and don't log in and look at the g2 and see the case etc then go sign in and go to your line and hit upgrade and find the g2 and click into details and there is absolutely no mention of it. Damn it I need to call back and see if they can stop my cancellation lol
[T-Mobile LG G2] jonathan3579:
Let me know if they can stop your cancellation. I'm tired of calling them and this will be the last time I do, if so.
