Has anyone received any new shipping info from UPS in Dalllas. Mine still show Mesquite(Dallas). It is supposed to get above freezing today in Dallas so maybe some freight will start moving.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] r1ndr3w:
Arrived in Louisville, KY on the 6th and in NJ yesterday.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] droidstyle:
you can swap sims.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] LillieBennett:
The new Sims have the nfc chip, not on the battery anymore.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] keennay:
No sweat!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] robroy90:
today

Mine is allegedly out for delivery today (STL) so I should hopefully have it by this evening.

I went to a local corporate store yesterday with my S4 and got the SIM replaced with a new ISIS-compatible chip. NFC is now on the SIM?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] jackdubl:
Really? Did not know this.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] droidstyle:
Should of known...thanks for that info!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] NeoMorpheus1337:
I hope they don't come with funny games and take my unlimited.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] r1ndr3w:
I found this link about the NFC chip sim card.

support.verizonwireless.com/support/faqs/Equipment/nfc-se-sim.html

I called vzw and discovered that my sim card is nfc enabled.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] sdaelr:
Do you have any updated info on your order? Only info for me is. I called the TX warehouse this morning, she did recognize my order number but couldn't tell me what was holding my order up. She did say that it could be that they were out of stock. She said they did get most all orders out that were placed on Thursday. She had to email her warehouse supervisor for more info and will get back to me, this was at 9am. Now when I try to call goes straight to voice mail.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] droidstyle:
I called them earlier and they told me my device would be shipping out today and Ishould be recieving tracking. The rep said they were closed friday due to ice storm.

On a side note I just installed the official 4.3 MJ9 update on my N2 and its amazing. I almost wish I didnt even order the N3.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] LillieBennett:
I was going to try cutting mine from the lg spectrum but ended up getting a new one when trying the retail n3 so all I had to was insert into the DE.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] mrlaigle:
What phone number did you call? and the number 800 757 0280 that I used Friday no longer works.

Paid overnight Thursday and hasn't shipped. Not worried about getting it but maybe they can credit my 20 shipping fee.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] droidstyle:
That is the number i called and got right thru. Yea they should refund but the ice storm is what screwed everything up. They are probably way behind in processing orders...especially being its the holidays.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] texasez:
That is the number I call about 2 hours ago and it worked. The lady I talked to said the supervisor would have to ok the credit for overnight shipment and they would call me back but nothing has happened. I will try again whenever I get the DE. Mine still show shipped and in Dallas since Friday.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Tidefan13:
Finally got mine today. So happy
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Thepooch:
You and me both seems nearly same time of day too cant wait to get it activated:victory:
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] mrlaigle:
No tracking info yet. Hasn't left Samsung. Makes me a sad panda
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] sdaelr:
I am in the same situation as you... I finally got through around 7pm tonight. She couldn't tell me much other than not much of anything shipped today. She offered several times to refund my shipping, I told her I wasn't worried about $20 I just wanted her to confirm they did indeed have one allocated for me and that it would actually ship tomorrow. She said it should ship tomorrow but no guarantees and if so I would have tracking by tomorrow night.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] MissionImprobable:
So, still only a few units to go around and no stock files? Excellent news is excellent.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Tidefan13:
I'm waiting a day or so and making sure everything works b4 I install recovery
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] r1ndr3w:
:good: great idea which I'll do if mine ever arrives.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] bovineyard:
No tracking info or anything for me. Called the number on my confirmation email, and supposed to be shipped out today.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] droidstyle:
Still never recieved tracking and the pending charge dropped off my account? Guess I am not getting a N3.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] robroy90:
Finally!

Mine arrived last night. So far, so good. Anyone with a Dev unit able to get ISIS installed? I bought a gear at the store on Sunday and had them give me a new ISIS-compatible SIM. I am wondering since this is a dev unit, they may be blocking ISIS in the store? Sideload??

Thanks,

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Tidefan13:
No its not but I wanted to know for sure what to do about a update if I got one.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] NeoMorpheus1337:
My precious has arrived!!!

Interestingly, went to the VZW store and they said to keep using the same SIM instead of getting the new suggested one with NFC.

Man, need to root, this is full of crapware.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] mrlaigle:
Was your old one an NFC sim?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] NeoMorpheus1337:
Doubt it, since it came with my old Gnex, around 2 years ago.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] droidstyle:
Have you loaded 4.3 on your N2 yet? World of difference....
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] F350-6:
Mine just arrived. It came with a SIM card in it, but the phone doesn't seem to want to activate with that card. The SIM card from my old phone is about twice as big as the one for the Note 3, so there's no way to use that unless I'm missing something.

I'm guessing I'll have to visit a Verizon store tomorrow to get a new SIM with some programming or whatever they do to it?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] mrlaigle:
Either go online / go to your device/ click activae device and type in the new sim or call vz cs. It will activate right away.

No need to wait :)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] mrlaigle:
Downloading now. Thanks!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Cajunese:
This is what I did, tried online and it told me to swap SIMs, so I called *611, and had to read off the long number on the new SIM to them and they were able to activate it in about 10 mins....
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Yakuzahi:
Just call Verizon and give them the IMEI and the SIM number, that's what I did and it worked.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] xXJay_RXx:
Yea you're gonna be able to root again. That's the beauty of developer editions. The updates can't lock us down

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] robroy90:
I am not being prompted for an update (yet). I am also hesitant to install one even if prompted, because I wonder if the ROM for the retail version is 100% compatible with the DE model??

ISIS does not work, I tried the root blocker, etc. No go.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Thepooch:
For those still waiting hang in there it's totally worth the wait. This device is nothing short of remarkable:victory:

Also... what error are you getting and where is it hanging up? I'm guessing isis starts.. does give the rooted device error and exit?

Welcome to the club. I want to believe that the more XDA users with the DE, the more dev support we may get for our device.

Called Samsung again today. They said my N3 was shipping today and I should recieve tracking tonight. still blaming it on the weather. I called Monday and was told the same thing...getting the run around it seems.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] keennay:
What did you try so far? Did you try to activate over the phone with Verizon? You'll definitely have to get them activate the SIM and probably the IMEI.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] LillieBennett:
Last but not least :)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] richoz30:
Well, 1 week after ordering and still not here. It was on the truck today to be shipped to the house and at 8:18 the driver put in an emergency condition beyond UPS' control. So I called a friend who is a driver for UPS and they are having record delivery numbers every day. Add that to the 8-14 inches of snow we got 6 days ago and they're backed up beyond belief. So my phone went back to the UPS distribution center to be sent out again tomorrow. Since it's only 8 miles away I'm having them hold it and I will be getting it myself at 10AM. Better late than never...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] droidrev71:
I'm wondering if we can get a tally of how many own a dev edition note. I believe it was twenty the first batch. Same amount for second batch?

I followed mrlaigle's advice and did it online that night. The hardest part was trying to read the little numbers on the sim card.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] r1ndr3w:
Did you use the latest version of T-mobile TWRP for recovery?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] sdaelr:
Haven't had alot of time to really mess around with mine. But just a few quick questions if anyone is willing to answer. I mainly bought the DE at this point for easier rooting and then later down the road getting into it a little deeper.

1st question is will we get updates from Verizon as the retail does? and should we install them?

2nd, are there any good, tested, trusted rooting methods available and does anyone know where can I find them?

That's all for now I'm sure there will be more later. This is my first thread on xda and still pretty new to this...Don't know how much help I will be to you guys but so far you all are awesome. Thanks

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] k.electron:
questions about DE:

from what i understand the major problem with the regular edition on safestrap is that unless future versions of ota are exploitable, one cannot update to newer kernels/newer radios if they want their custom roms - is that correct?

is that not a problem on DE because you can odin apply the latest official rom and then use the unlocked bootloader to flash twrp/cwm and then flash a custom rom?

does the DE have separate official odin files for kernel and radio so that custom rom doesnt have to be blown away?

will the DE ever get AOSP based roms? or has that hope been completely squashed?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] cam30era:
You can flash radio from recovery. Current modem files are Odin flashable.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Surge1223:
As far as stock files for the DE N3, the stock kernel is here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=48118910 im not sure if someone uploaded more of the stock build or not but theres the kernel.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] k.electron:
ah..

i ask because im tempted to get the DE so i can bypass all the bull**** about kernel/radio updates and losing root/safestrap. if kernels / radio will straight up be flashable then the DE is a no brainer.

can i flash tmo kernels as well or am i restricted to the stock verizon one?

You can flash tmo kernels

If you just want to get stock rooted on the developer edition, the instructions under section 2A here do the trick (essentially, use Odin to install TWRP):

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2483380

The only difference when I tried it is that I didn't need to manually install the SuperSU.zip in step 11. TWRP asked me if I wanted to install it when I rebooted after making a Nandroid backup.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] r1ndr3w:
Right I saw that. I don't mind flashing the MJE update through TWRP. The tar for the MJE modem is available so at least we everything we need from a DE standpoint to update to MJE.
