My luck I was the 3rd in line at tmo, when my turn came the only guy in store told me he was a authorized tmo, not a company store and he only just received his demo today.

So I hot tailed it out to the next store, calling first and bought the black. They had about 10 left after that. It was about 11:00am by then.

Zero down, only charged $43.

Now what?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mr_malina:
I walked in during the early afternoon and left with one. There was plenty in stock.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] PrettyPryncess:
I really dont feel all that bad now lol I was at my local store at 8 am and it opens at 9. I was the second person to walk out the store with the Note 3 but the first to have the black phone. So happy i didnt do the pre-ordering like I started to. #solovethisphone

Im from Puerto Rico too and I was the only one lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jrggarza:
Walked in about 2:00. No one was there. I was prepared to drive all over Sacramento to get one. Glad I didn't have to do that. Now I'm happily playing with my new toy. :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] djnicho12:
I went to the store around 7pm California time to return my LG G2 due to some messages problems so I ask the lady if I can get a different phone and she says yes you can and I ask her if the note 3 was available and she says they have around 7 left but only black ones so i get one ,, I guess not too many people is getting the note 3 in my area
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Dreamgun:
I went to T-Mobile today to pickup an HTC One, or S4... totally forgot the note 3 was going to come out. The guy working there went in the back and showed me the note 3, I pretty much decided on it as soon as I saw it. Always thought note would be too big for me, but the screen was beautiful.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Tornadobarrage:
I got it at 4 and I was the first one. They didn't even know it was released today.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] shaungregg:
I got there at 9am not thinking anyone else would be there and every sales person was setting up a Note 3 for a customer, the manager just kept going into the back room cage to keep getting them. I don't know how many they had in stock but he said they got more white than black and that it was his first time holding one since they never got a demo unit. He was so taken by it that he put one aside for himself to replace his S4. I could have gotten either color but went with white for a change, wish they had cases and man the manager was pissed about it saying they were losing revenue on each sale since most people get a case and then they usually take advantage of the buy 2 get 1 free accessory deal.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] nba1341:
Was gonna go after work tomorrow. Hope my T-mobile store has it in stock in black.

Will I get the $0 down if I am currently financing phone under my name? (My sisters htc one she just bought last month)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mailboy1412:
Called the local Tmobile Oct 1st and they said they can on guarantee stock in morning Oct 2nd but I came in the afternoon and they still had plenty.

So I picked up the white one.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Albaholic:
Got to the TMO store closest to me 10 minutes after they opened and they didn't even receive their shipment yet. Despite being told the day before that they had received 75 n3's. Ended up going back at 2pm and grabbing one. Almost everyone else there was upgrading to the n3.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Chadworth66:
Went to store at open. Was dead. Haha we are all crazy.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] hagalah:
In that case, that can't be called a line...

I've got two on one line and they did it for me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] RMXO:
I'm so tempted to get one but promised my GF I'll wait it out for better deals since I don't qualify for the 0 down.

Jump isn't worth it if u might end up keeping the device right? I usually hand me down my old device to my parents when I upgrade to a new one.

my local store opened at 9. i wanted to get there early right after i got off work. i work 3rds and normally don't get replaced until 8 when i'm supposed to be off at 7. yesterday people came on time. i was slightly disappointed that i had more time to fill before the store opened. as it turned out i had some stuff i needed to do so i didn't get there until 904. the only people there were the manager on duty, an employee, another employee not on duty (prolly wanted to get the note 3, i'm not sure and didn't overhear) and a customer who needed help with his feature phone.

i was the first person at my store to get the note 3 and all they had in stock was black. the only issue i had was my upgrade. i had gotten the internet only plan 4 years ago and it got modified to the even more android internet plan 2 years ago when i got the sgs2. i had the cash to buy the thing outright, so there wouldn't have been a problem there, but to qualify for the 0 down deal i needed one of the new plans. this is one of the reasons why i will not leave t-mobile: when the employee couldn't find a way to upgrade me because of my grandfathered plan, the MOD took over. he called corporate and corporate changed my plan to something that i have wanted for years now- an unlimited internet only plan with texting for around $40. so now i'm on their $40 4.5 gig service relay plan for deaf people and they put me on the jump plan to make it an even $50. what's so great about it is that i was already paying $50 for 5 gigs of internet and free texting withOUT an insurance plan. essentially i am paying less for services today than i did a week ago. all i paid were taxes due and i left with my new phone and about $640 more in my bank account that i was expecting to have at the end of the day.

i also realized yesterday that once again t-mobile was the first to sell (in stores anyway) another killer device after att pushed sales back to the 4th.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] RMXO:
I'm such a sucker & impatient. I called a few TMO stores in my area to see which one had white. Found one & just got home from picking one up.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] hdad2:
I was the first N3 sale at my local store 3 hours after they opened. Just not that popular on T-Mobile I guess. It's a higher end expensive phone, not exactly T-Mobile's bread and butter I don't think
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] XBOHDPuKC:
Stupid t-mobile store won't sell me just the phone - they have to tuck on $10 sim card and another $10 activation fee... WTF...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] DKYang:
If it's a corporate store, then that doesn't sound right at all. Try calling 611 and explain it to them. That doesn't make any sense.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] XooLoo:
I was then first one in line at my store. Inside a mall. So they were opening at ten. Got there at 9:40ish. No one was there. The sales guy inside saw me, but couldn't open the door until ten. Waited and right before ten, at least 4 or 5 other people showed up (don't know if they were there for the same reason as I or not), so the guy finally opens the door with enthusiasm and asks how he could help me. "I'M HERE TO CLOSE MY ACCOUNT!" I nearly shout. ... awkward pause & silence ... Then I told him I was joking, and I was there to pick up a Note 3. Haha he got a kick out of it. I was out by 10:15 with my new toy.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] oka1:
I was the 1st to get one here in Ohio / Canton area on the 2nd I just happened to walk into the store to look at them and they had just got them and were unpacking them.... 20 min late I was rooting a note 3 Love the phone check out the review for my take on the phone

Jump is a good program for a short term up to six months in my opinion. It's good piece of mind to have the insurance to cover your $700 investment at least in the beginning. I usually don't buy insurance but since I can get out of Jump program at any time, thumbs up to T-mobile :good:, I got it with the intent to keep it for the first few months. I don't think it's worth keep paying $10/mo after the first six months, unless you intend to change the phone right around then.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] rayystar:
Had to be at work in downtown Chicago by 11am. every store opened at 10 locally so I couldn't make it but the one down the street from my job opened at 8am. Got there around 10 and there were about 8 people in line. I was 4th but was the first to buy the note 3. everyone in line was there for the 5S lol. convinced 2 guys in line behind me to grab the note 3 though :D

Last showed up at 8:45 to mall they close at 9. Went to tmobile store and got black note 3 great phone
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] PolishDude:
showed up the next day and walked in and picked one up, wanted a black one, didnt ask how many they had. I tried the S4 but missed the size of the Note 1 I had so Note 3 here I am
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] TamiaSky:
Me too!!!

My bday was the 3rd and the store I went to and called around to only had the black note 3 and I wanted the white one so I got the S4. I found the white one 10/4 and took my S4 back and got the note 3 because I missed my note 1 that I sold lol.

I thought I would be fine with the S4 but I wasn't lol. My sister told me that I was a sad case when it came to getting new phones.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] RMXO:
From now on, I'm not going to pre-order phones unless you get some extra goodies for pre-ordering or a limited edition type. I'll just wait until release day then call up a few TMO stores in my area to see which one has it & go get it there.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Limeybastard:
I resisted pre ordering mine. Fortunately for me, it allowed me further time to research and eventually bought a T mobile version for use on ATT. I bought mine at a T mobile corporate store October 3rd. When I called, they had 30 in stock. The sales people were idiots though, I couldnt even hear the rep I was talking to as the other staff were talking out loudly as was the Samsung rep Robin. In fact when I called to check stock she picked the phone up and put me on hold for 5 mins then some other guy picked the phone up and told me they had 30 units. I drove their and bought one. They told me I could buy it off line with no extra charges but then when I got there told me all phones are off line price but I still needed account LOL. Ended up paying an extra 30 bucks for account.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexdagreat:
So this started happening only 2 days after getting my G2. Basically my phone reboots randomly whenever I unlock the lock screen. It doesn't happen every time, but it happens often enough that it really bugs me and I'm considering factory reset, but I dont want to lose my info and have the reboots still continue
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hosehead:
Not a single one in 10 days. Are you rooted?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reaton33:
I am too

**Yes I am also getting random reboots when unlocking the screen. At first I thought it had to do with the lock screen type I used or the lock screen pattern but it is still happening now that I'm using a pin to unlock my phone. I am completely stock and got the phone the day it came out.

The reboot happened a couple times within a few minutes and seems very random upon unlocking the screen. If others are experiencing this I highly suggest posting here.

I came from the LG G2X and that phone had a similar issue involving random reboots but was definitely fixed by LG eventually. My Asus Transformer Prime had a random reboot issue as well and eventually fixed.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grape_tonic:
Got my G2 5 days ago and have had at least 3 random reboots or shut off reboots the the last three days.

Today 4 times reboot when unlocking with Code unlock.

Actually considering returning the product.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bachera:
did you try uninstalling some of the stuff you installed? One by one?

Did you try factory reset?

Stock everything?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reaton33:
I don't really have anything crazy intensive on my phone but it's worth a shot.

As of today I have had several reboots when unlocking the screen. This occurs whether I have the lock screen active or not.

I am considering returning the phone too if this keeps happening. I'm absolutely sick and tired of defects/bugs (whatever you want to call them) like these plaguing my devices.

all it takes is bad install of apps, wacked permissions and what have you.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vic750:
this just started happening to me today, no idea why... I haven't installed any new apps lately. is it a problem with my phone? you think swapping it out will fix the problem?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bachera:
lol factory reset and wait few hours, dont restore backups and stuff, that eliminates about everything!

whats left, bad rom, but at that point warrantee
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcbutler1:
I have stock lg g2 doing same thing. A hard reset didn't work and I have only basic apps that came on phone. However I have been able to turn off lock screen and so far no reboots (yet). T-Mobile has given me a runaround about getting it replaced. Still inside my buyers remorse,I have finally gotten a supervisor to give me a new phone. Tmobile supervisor confirmed lg g2 having a lot of issues. So that said I'm saying goodbye to lg g2, going with something else. Tmobile finally took care of me after being on hold for 5hrs and talking to countless people! Lg g2 has issues but T-Mobile has major issues and that's being really polite!!!

i exchanged it

i went in to tmobile last night to exchange my phone. it took two hours because of a some $1.12 price difference but they eventually got it to work with some trickery. i'm a very patient person anyway.

literally while i was typing this response i was going to say i didn't have the random reboot but JUST F'ING NOW it happened again. I'm immediately doing a factory reset and UNFORTUNATELY and using the phone without instalilng a damn thing. hopefully i can get some idea of what the problem is before my 14 day return window is up or else this phone is going back as much as i hate to say it.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikea3000:
I had a similar problem with my phone while trying to unlock it. Once it started rebooting, it would go into an almost endless cycle of reboots. Sometimes as much as 20 reboots in a row.

I had tmobile exchange the phone for me. No issues since with the replacement. I do definitely think there is a bad batch of G2s out there.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ready2Mosh:
Let me start off by saying I'm a jeweler and am used to looking for stress cracks developing inside of stones, well I found this issue with 2 LG G2s.

I am on my third G2, not because of rebooting but because the sapphire glass that covers the camera starts developing micro cracks running across the lense, has happened twice now, I had it in one of those windowed cases, they suck don't bother, no protection. Anyways, had this issue with the transformer tf201, microcracks develop along edge, then bang, giant crack from corner to corner, no mis use needed, was just bad design. These microcracks are all internal, no breaking the surface.

The way you find them is get light to reflect off of the glass covering the camera, now slowly roll the phone side to side and back and forth, now look for lines reflecting light back at you. If you see those exchange the phone, they will eventually grow, like a windshield crack, and feacture ruining the camera optics.

Hope no one else has this issue, oh and this third LG G2 came with the Isis sim in the box, unlike my first 2, I'm in chicago.

The recent update to gmail was the culprit for me. I started getting the reboots immediately after the update. I uninstalled updates in app settings this morning and haven't gotten a reboot in 12 hours. Maybe it's an issue with the gmail lockscreeen widget after the update? I'm on the verizon g2.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anthonyfur:
same rebooting issue here for my TMO version. thought it was my lockscreen widget from nils, but then it consisted after i took it off, and still consisted after i factory reset it. so I exchanged the device and got a new one.. same day I got it, it started rebooting again. thinking about just returning but its such a good phone, sad if it has to come down to it.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zathus:
Simple as this. Random 'reboots are bad. If it's uprooted, exchange it. If it's rooted, use a diff Rom or figure out what you did. One random reboot is enough for me to go ape **** lol. My gnexus did it once and I was back at the store that day.

update

quick update. since exchanging the G2 for another G2 I have not had any random reboots. I did take into account the advice from a previous post on this topic that his gmail update may been the catalyst for the reboots. I waited to update gmail until a few minutes ago so we'll see how it goes.

At&t purchased on release day and no random reboots. Had one lockup after installing some app from the play store. Don't recall what it was, just uninstalled it and never looked back. From reading this thread it appears to be happening with more T-Mobile devices than others? If anyone respond to this thread perhaps they could mention their version to help root out the possible cause? More info couldn't hurt.

Received new unit yesterday for this exact same problem. Had 2 random reboots this morning...which both appeared when trying to unlock my G2. Not anywhere as bad as the last unit but still a problem. Appears to be a software issue...
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaT Franchise:
Ive had this problem aswell but i think i found the problem, the more widgets i had on my lockscreen the more it would happen, i took all widgets except the camera and no shortcuts and haven't had a reboot from unlocking yet, im pretty sure this is it as ive spent most of the day dicking with it, once i got up to remote, google now,email, and camera it would reboot every time.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anthonyfur:

I tried that and have not had a reboot since! Thanks!!! :)
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fuse8499:
When I first got my G2, I was getting 10+ reboots a day. Did a hard reset. Same thing was happening. I was going to root it and install custom rom to see if that would fix it. Then I thought "I just spent $200 on this phone. It better work out of the box." So I brought it back to Verizon store and the rep immediately said he'd swap it out. I asked him if there had been any other returns on the device for the same issue and he said no. So I got my new one Saturday afternoon. 4 days later and not 1 random reboot. So if you're getting reboots, swap it while you still can! It's definitely hardware related in my experience.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rayan:
In my case it all started (apparently) after I rooted. But I just uninstalled Gmail updates and cleared its cache to see if the problem goes away. :(

However in my case it's not a complete reset, but more like a cold reset, only the T-Mobile logo splash screen comes up briefly and then the lock screen comes up.

Also this has happened while the phone is idle, not just while unlocking it. :confused:

Anyhoo, I hope this Gmail thing fixes the reboot thing...

Cheers!

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rayan:
Have you been using the Gmail widgets either on the lock screen or launcher?

If so, chances are that is what's causing your reboots.

At least in my case that was the problem so I stopped using the Gmail widgets and no more spontaneous reboots.

I had got same problem with random reboots, in the beginning of using our device.

I solve this problem by switching off graphical key. I started to use usual unlock option, without any security. After 2 days I tried to switch graphical key on and everything is ok now.

random reboot

Hello dears,

I am also experiencing the same problem at some unlocking procedure. I have the phone since 2 wks. I am thinking to do a factory reset.

As it was working correctly before, I supposed it is a problem of installation and uninstallation of an application. I will see and advise if it worked.

Hi,

I had this issue, and i think that is related to gmail widget on the lock screen,

if you added this widget remove it, then no more reboot after that, that what happened to me!

Rebooting occasionally

I have a Lg G2 D-802 model

In an interval of about 3-4 days the phone hangs for about 1-2 seconds when I press any app like call or watsapp and then it restarts.

It has happened about 6-7 times till now.

Yesterday it restarted when I was trying to make a call so I performed a factory reset in the evening (for the second time in one month) and today in the morning it again restarted when I was turning it to vibration mode.
