[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] NWNJ:
They don't charge you until they have it in stock and then you must put the charge through yourself with the order when they have it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] billymaloney3:
then whats the point of placing the order when its back ordered?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] njfoses:
You cant actually place an order. You give them your name and email address and they email you when its available.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] billymaloney3:
oh ok awesome thanks I'll put my order in. Also for those of you that ordered how much is shipping?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] oneandroidnut:
i did $19.95 next day delivery
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] billymaloney3:
oh cool, if you don't mind me asking what was your total?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] akellar:
Updates still come from Verizon though, so in theory you could either be left with no ability to upgrade or upgrading at the cost of having the bootloader locked again. That's the problem/issue I see with these dev edition devices. They are only guaranteed to be unlocked at receipt.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] oneandroidnut:
$766 and some change
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] njfoses:
I dont believe thats the case? Can anybody else chime in?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] keennay:
Yeah, they definitely charged my credit card so I'm assuming they actually had some in stock.

Will update thread with photos.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] akellar:
Unless I'm wrong Google only provides updates for the Google Edition devices. The dev edition devices still upgrade through the provider.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] LillieBennett:
Anyone have a tracking number yet?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] keennay:
oneandroidnut, you should probably add to your poll an option for those who already placed an order (before they sold out), just to have an idea how many went through within the community here.

Just a suggestion! ;)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] oneandroidnut:
i also have pending charges so hopefully we will all get soon!!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] oneandroidnut:
i cant change or i would! :(
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] TechBSwift:
This was my biggest concern.... Who pushes updates for Dev versions? I know it's not Google, if Verizon pushes updates they would have to have to different firmwares..
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] oneandroidnut:
who cares? if we have unlocked bootloader we can have firmware and updates carrier wide ported to it correct?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] akellar:
The issue occurs when a specific bootloader is required for the upgrade (and yes they can do that). If said bootloader is locked then what?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] njfoses:
The concern is that future vzw upgrades could lock the bootloader. I can't see that happening though, eliminates the whole purpose of a dev edition.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] NWNJ:
The order puts you next in line for the device when it is available.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] r1ndr3w:
Root?

Back when the exploit for the S3 was discovered, we had the option to get root and unlocked bootloader or just root. If I am understanding correctly, the dev edition is not rooted and getting root should be relatively easy because the bootloader is unlocked??
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] keynith:
Really? You don't think if someone gets it unlocked, and it goes mainstream that Verizon won't notice and not try to patch it?

---------- Post added at 08:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:40 AM ----------

Like [MENTION=4395895]beanstown106[/MENTION] said, just flash the supersu zip in recovery for root.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] njfoses:
I am talking about the dev edition.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] keynith:
Tehe my bad

---------- Post added at 08:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:41 AM ----------

[MENTION=5297338]oneandroidnut[/MENTION] where is the poll? I no can find :(
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] akellar:
Right but the dev edition is sold by Samsung not Verizon. It would seem odd to me for Verizon to release separate updates for the dev edition devices but it's possible.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] r1ndr3w:
I missed that completely. :confused: Was that mentioned in this thread? Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] keynith:
Verizon approved the dev edition. As you can see, AT&T has not. So they know they have too.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] kimdoocheol:
It seems pointless if the stock is going to be this low for anyone to get this phone. I hope they are taking the backorders and then manufacturing that amount + some more.

That being said, I backordered mine, lol
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] keynith:
What did you miss?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] r1ndr3w:
Beanstown mention of flashing supersu.zip in recovery to get root on the dev edition.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] keynith:
He did did, i think, and i know others have as well. With a custom recovery you just flash that zip.

Ive been following this thread since page 1, like many others haha
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] xXJay_RXx:
Yea you just flash the custom recovery thru Oden and then you flash the SuperSU zip thru the recovery
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] r1ndr3w:
Me too but don't always trust my brain to remember everything. :silly:
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Tidefan13:
Finally!!!!!

Roll Tide!!!!!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] keynith:
Pretty much every device with a custom recovery is rooted via the supersu zip method. Unless you use an AIO or something from the get go
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Tidefan13:
There out of stock already, ****

Roll Tide!!!!!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] keynith:
Us LSU fans got one ;)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Tidefan13:
This is bull I've been waiting forever and there out f this

Roll Tide!!!!!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] keynith:
Yeah only like 10-15 of us got one.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Tidefan13:
It says to allow up to 4 weeks, 4 weeks

Roll Tide!!!!!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] keynith:
Sorry bud.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] r1ndr3w:
Check the email confirm you get from Samsung. It says 14 days.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] bajasur:
What BS. they keep like 30 of these devices in stock for opening?

Sucks cuz I have to sell my retail device first before I can even order the Dev edition.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] oneandroidnut:
pm me. i have a friend that might sell you one
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] droidrev71:
I have for sale a beautiful 32Gb developer edition note 3.

Probably refurbished with unlocked bootloader with beans rom on a 32gb sd card. Accessories are still sealed and unused. All this for a low one time payment of $2000!!! JK. The back orders shouldn't be that long but if someone is impatient enough I may consider..lol
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] oneandroidnut:
$2000 i will sell mine for that hahaha
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] keennay:
To all who ordered a Note 3 Verizon developer edition before they sold out: they will all be shipped by no later than 4PM Central time today, according to Samsung. Look for an email with your tracking number then.

Cheers
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] harosxcomp170:
Yeah I actually checked when I woke up at 5am and saw I could now add it to my cart. I have the money and everything but I had to let my mother order it and because she didn't believe me that it will sell out quickly I had to back order it! But I got a back order number at like 6:45am so hopefully I'll get an email sooner than the next back order person!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] oneandroidnut:
awesome man thanks so we will have it tomorrow if we paid for overnight shipping?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] droidrev71:
Just lowered price to $1999.99! Darn competition!

Roll Tide!!!!!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] keynith:
If it ships today then yes or Thursday depending on who it is. Fed ex sucks but i know ups is pretty good about getting their shipments out
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] keennay:
Yessir, latest Friday granted they didn't sell more than were available and you weren't part of the unlucky few under the cutoff.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] oneandroidnut:
it is a ups item! hope they go out today!!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] keynith:
If they don't then i cry :(
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] oneandroidnut:
lol me too!!! :(
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] droidrev71:
They won't go out today. Best case scenario is label printed. I accidentally ordered the s4 de about a week ago. It took a couple days just to get the UPS label printed.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] dooku77:
I'll buy it for 550. I won't have the full amount for Dev edition.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] keynith:
Accoridng to Samsung they should go out before 4pm cst
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] jmorton10:
LOL, & when they don't come by then you might as well wait for the Note 4 to come out.......
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Tidefan13:
Well it said that on there site but the email said 14 days and could be sooner. Still can't believe they only had alittle amount available

Roll Tide!!!!!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] droidrev71:
Cool. When I accidentally ordered de s4 there were some technical problems going on with the mobile accessories department. So that may have been the reason for the couple day delay. Or the guy that was picking my order had to go find it buried under some other boxes in a corner. Cause they never sold one before and thought my order was a joke.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Caveman419:
Just got confirmation that mine has shipped!!

Will be taking the day off tomorrow to run from window to window waiting for delivery!!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] oneandroidnut:
haha i like the order was a joke!!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] oneandroidnut:
no way!?!!? proof! lol

edit mine did too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] droidrev71:
I concur! I still can't believe I accidentally ordered that!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] oneandroidnut:
thanks man i just got email too!!!! although tracking doesnt work in ups site yet though lol
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Caveman419:
There you go, would never joke about something like this.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] keennay:
Got email. Shipped
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] js0uth:
shipped!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] oneandroidnut:
good lol
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] droidstyle:
WTF They are on back order already?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] oneandroidnut:
been backordered since 7 am est
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] bodieism:
My tracking # link says, "Order processed: Ready for UPS".

:D
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] cveez11:
Shipped. Can't wait. Wish I had next day. ?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] bodieism:
And my order confirmation email arrived at 6:53 EST. That was a close call :eek:
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] oneandroidnut:
same. my email says scheduled delivery is 11/7!! :)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] keynith:
So i count six including mine shipped. Im curious how many people ordered. Post when yours is confirmed shipped. I know with 99 percent certainty that pretty much the only people who ordered so far are from this thread.

Because if Samsung only had 10 on hand thats really messed up.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] js0uth:
i wonder if it was only the people on here that ordered.

if so, thats not very many.... and it sold out. lol.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] keynith:
Thats what im saying. I don't think anyone but us was even interested in it at this point.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] tgyberg:
Well I'm on the waiting list!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] oneandroidnut:
wow yes it is!! i woke up at 7 am and checked after i ordered at 5:42 or something and saw it was gone glad i saw it in the middle of the night!!!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] js0uth:
thats pretty crazy.... i bet the sales manager or whoever keeps track was surprised it sold out. lol.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] keynith:
Kind of glad i pulled my back out last night at work and it kept me waking me up. If i hadn't, i would of just been getting up haha

---------- Post added at 10:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:31 AM ----------

They should of known. We all called them and they said they would call when available. Guess that call isn't coming because they arent available as of right now for order. Guess they didnt wanna call people at 5am
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] droidstyle:
Just placed order...says will be back in stock within 14 days.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] keynith:
Hopefully you guys get it sooner than later. Id expect so especially since samsung is all about that revenue.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] bodieism:
I guess that makes us The Sinister Six :laugh:
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] keynith:
We need one more for the sexy seven!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] oneandroidnut:
yes yes!!!

must have had 10 in stock all along like already stated!! haha
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] keynith:
Samsung just called me to let me know they have em hahaha
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] jmichaels1982:
Mine shipped UPS regular speed eta Nov 11

ask not what your developer can do for you, ask what you can do for your developer.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] keynith:
The sexy seven it is!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] oneandroidnut:
lol
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] tgyberg:
Well they lied! :laugh:
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Tidefan13:
A Sammy rep just called me and told me the phone was available, a little late there. :(

Roll Tide!!!!!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] keynith:
Samsung said, when they called, that they worked out the shop button but unfortunately they are on backorder. I asked how many they had to begin with and she said under 20 because they usually dont sell them that quickly
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] oneandroidnut:
20!?! LOL wow
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Tidefan13:
That's pathetic well hopefully the next 20 don't take a day to be back available.

Roll Tide!!!!!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] keynith:
She said under 20. Jeez come on Samsung.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] oneandroidnut:
wow guess we are some lucky ones!!! should have bought two and sell on swappa for $900 lol
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] keynith:
That would of been mean! Haha share the love
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] oneandroidnut:
haha i know right!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Tidefan13:
Yeah your mean :)

Roll Tide!!!!!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] oneandroidnut:
alright guys pray the ups plane is safe for our overnight orders!! :)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] TechBSwift:
So how does knox come into play with the Dev version? if you trip it does it void the warranty?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] bigwavedave25:
Wow, looks like Vz is already pushing out an update to fix connectivity and sound quality for the "stock" version...

I wonder if you "lucky 7" will be greeted with an instant update or it will already be installed since it took so long to release the DE?

Droid-Life: Verizon’s Galaxy Note 3 Receives First Update
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] oneandroidnut:
as much as i remember the lady told me the phone will still have knox but it shouldnt trip with root or recovery
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] keynith:
We prefer to be called the sexy seven
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] untouchablez:
Mine shipped this morning as well! CAN'T WAIT.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] keynith:
I guess it's the edgy eight. Way to ruin it... Haha jk

So like i said before they probably had 10 in stock before selling out. Talk about making 8gs in 10 minutes for Samsung. (minus the build cost)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] untouchablez:
Hahaha sorry guys!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] r1ndr3w:
Yet another story of the "haves" and "have-nots". :( The next few weeks will be torture for the have-nots.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Adrozz07:
Another month to wait. I'm just gonna go ahead and say I'm over the bull****, lol. Seriously considering jumping to tmo.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] keynith:
I think it works out better. Everyone's been edgy waiting for this thing
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] js0uth:
for the have-nots at least when you have it beans will have worked on it for the few weeks already. :good:
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] keynith:
Just FYI the second you flash a new ROM the 30 day warranty is void. It's in the fine print

You'd have to flash back to complete stock I'd assume.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] untouchablez:
Haha yes this much is true. I was stalking the page like a mad man once that shop button showed up lol
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] keynith:
I got lucky haha really lucky. I just so happened to wakeup early and looked
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] r1ndr3w:
:good: Good point and always appreciative of the great work done by the devs in this community. :good:
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] TechBSwift:
That's a huge concern.... Will anyone insure this phone and what if you get a defective device.... I've read several Note 3 user had to get replacements.. I'm just going to run with the retail version and jump ship in the near future. The only line I will keep with Verizon is my unlimited account.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] keynith:
People need to start messaging the devs in T Mobile and sprint so they can do ports.

---------- Post added at 12:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:07 PM ----------

Say you get a squaretrade warranty they will warrant any defects, but they'd have to refund you the money because they wont be able to replace your dev edition.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] bigwavedave25:
I thought it was the T-Mobile and Sprint versions, not the AT&T with unlocked bootloaders? Did I read that wrong somewhere?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] TechBSwift:
Have you checked into squaretrade to see if they honor dev devices?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] keynith:
My bad put the wrong carrier. Let me edit that real quick

---------- Post added at 12:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:19 PM ----------

No but I never saw anything saying they don't. Probably have to call and ask. But say you busted your phone to poop, and they had to replace it, they have no way of getting one (right now) because of the dev form.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] alexp1289:
This is awesome! Just waiting to get paid on Friday and putting myself on the waiting list. I don't mind waiting till they are back in stock.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] xXJay_RXx:
Mines has just shipped n yup estimated delivery time is tomorrow :D:thumbup:
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] tgyberg:
So will we get a Note 3 dev edition general section I wonder?! Not that this thread is bad! :D
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Gwartan:
This is just cruel. I got tied up with work and missed the dev edition going live for order. Says right now allow up to 4 weeks to get back in stock. They should have had more on hand.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] TSman74:
Mine shipped as well. What is that, 10 now?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] r1ndr3w:
SquareTrade

Just spoke with a CSR at SquareTrade. She indicated that they would cover the dev edition N3. Fixes/repairs are completed within 5 days of receipt of the device. If it is determined that the device cannot be repaired, it is up to the warranty holder to purchase a new device then submit the receipt to SquareTrade for reimbursement. This is how they operate for all devices, dev and consumer. I confirmed that reimbursement is on full retail price of the device.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] keynith:
Yup your number 10 just like i thought.

So the tortured ten we are!

---------- Post added at 12:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:49 PM ----------

Before, i had to send my tablet in and they couldn't repair it so they sent me a check. Guess they changed that! Thanks for calling though! As expected they don't refund your taxes though.

---------- Post added at 12:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:51 PM ----------

We should get a developer edition development thread, although the only thing that belongs in there would be Recoveries and kernals
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] oneandroidnut:
and roms right? they will be different from ss stuff
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] keynith:
As long as the rom doesn't include a kernal it should be good for SS. I might be wrong so someone correct me if i am.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] stargzrr11:
Got an e-mail that mine shipped today as well.

I see that Samsung called my house phone when I was out, bit didn't leave a message. They call anyone else (and anyone have an idea what they would be calling about?)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] keynith:
Yeah they called me and said its available but backordered and they had less than 20 to begin with when i asked.

Eleven is the count.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] TechBSwift:
For those on back order I'm sure you phone will ship out this week. I spoke with one of my friends today that works at Best Buy and they have some special Samsung system that can flash firmware. He guaranteed if if he can get the unlocked bootloader firmware he can flash a retail version without an issue, the only issue would be the phone has to be brought to Best Buy to use their system. He stated he did the same thing to his Verizon S4 and HTC One, he flashed the Google edition firmwares on his Verizon retail phones.

My point is I'm sure it's merely as easy as Sammy flashing new firmware and sending the new phones out. Good luck guys
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] ainjobizz:
I ordered last night and shipped earlier today as well. Says it should be here by the 11th with the free shipping.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] keynith:

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] dooku77:
I also spoke to Verizon and I was surprised the lady mentioned that I can call back to see when Dev edition will be available thru them. She also mentioned how quickly they sold out. I looked at my phone to make sure I called Verizon lol. I'm sure deep in their cs bowels there are people that support root.
