Received my tracking number. Says I'll receive it by Thursday 8 PM. Next time I won't bother preordering and will just pick up a new phone in store. There was no benefit to preordering at all.
[Verizon LG G3] bfern002:
Just got my shipping info. Shipped today from TN for delivery to OC by 7/17.

---------- Post added at 03:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:46 PM ----------

agreed. I could have just gotten it from BB and gotten some rewards as well.
[Verizon LG G3] aku69:
OK, so my situation got a bit odd.

On the website it lists my order and only a S5 with tracking number as shipped. A separate email has that only the G3 shipped on a different tracking number, both from Memphis. While neither the website or email have both phones, both show shipped on different tracking #s. Two packages I guess...

Now to wait till Thursday.
[Verizon LG G3] oneandroidnut:
Tracking still doesn't work in FedEx tracking :(
[Verizon LG G3] oo3:
The only benefit to pre-ordering is to guarantee a device (or anything else for that matter) on or by launch day. That way you don't have to wait in line or risk having the device be sold out by the time you are able to pick it up.

I just order everything through BB and get in-store pickup.
[Verizon LG G3] killswitch23456:
I'm in the North East (New York) and I have not gotten any tracking number. The IP address "tracking number" has disappeared from my Order Status page, though.
[Verizon LG G3] tkmcguire1:
Same here,when I track it says not found
[Verizon LG G3] wwevoxnj:
I live in nj and I have gotten a tracking number but it doesn't work to check it on fedex's website.
[Verizon LG G3] rdcamero:
I wonder if Verizon just warehoused them in the Fedex Hub in Memphis and they are just assigning tracking numbers for them all to be sent out tonight.
[Verizon LG G3] GTiceman:
When did you order and when did you get your number?
[Verizon LG G3] buzzy3970:
I'm slowly fed up with Verizon and their pre-order system. Ever rep I talk to says they can't find the order even though I clearly have the order and email. Finally get telesales to see the receipt and they tell me it doesn't ship out til the 17th. I then tell them on the receipt it states that it will ship two days before. This is extremely frustrating seeing that I pre-ordered within the first hour of being available. I keep restraining from canceling because of the watch but now I'm not even sure its worth the hassle. Def not a good experience.
[Verizon LG G3] tehpud:
Ok had some luck. Verizon's system didn't update properly. My order was picked up in Memphis. Tracking has been provided. Turns out that their system was sucking at updating in time for some.
[Verizon LG G3] killswitch23456:
I actually agree. Mine was pre-ordered that damn morning it came out, and I was told that it would come before release day, but unless they get their ass in gear, I'm not too hopeful.
[Verizon LG G3] frankdanktank:
Still no update nor charge on my card. I will probably cancel the order and pick it up myself on thursday
[Verizon LG G3] dadsterflip:
Reason I don't do preorders. I know it guarantees you a phone but I have 3 local store and BB I can pick up on Thursday morning.

Plus keeps me from having to check shipping every second or get frustrated because it didn't ship and won't be here tomorrow etc or deal with vzw reps lol.
[Verizon LG G3] monkeypunch35:
I am going to BB on Thursday morning. Praying the devs can unlock the bootloader.
[Verizon LG G3] rhydian:
I live in a more rural area. The closest official Verizon store is a 20 mile drive.

Mine has shipped and I'll have of Thursday.

Some of you are just really impatient. Just because you don't have a tracking number right now and others do doesn't mean you won't have it Thursday.

Relax a little bit
[Verizon LG G3] oneandroidnut:
15 digit tracking number here ordered early on the 10th and still nothing on fedex. im fed up too
[Verizon LG G3] frankdanktank:
What if my card wasnt chargdd?
[Verizon LG G3] rdcamero:
I just ordered online to keep from dealing with people in the store.Takes forever to get waited on and are a pain to deal with.When I purchased my s5 I wanted to take the sim out of my 5s and use my adapter for the s5.Keep getting told it would not work.Finally got fed up and said just do it your way.Luckily I had a new nano sim coming in the mail.Also a lot easier to return if I decide to not keep it.Just drop it in the mail.
[Verizon LG G3] buzzy3970:
Then it hasn't shipped. They don't ship until the card is charged. That I know for sure lol....
[Verizon LG G3] jfwalsh:
i ordered on the 10th, right after preorders became available.

sadly, chase thought it was fraud, and i had to have the card ran a second time later this morning.

representative who ran the card the second time said it would ship today, and arrive thursday.

been checking this afternoon, still no tracking number and still says "still processing"

thought i would try an experiment. . . just for fun

simultaneously called verizon customer service and chatted with customer service.

end result:

chat said "sorry, cannot check on that order at this time."

phone rep said, he had a screen in front of him that stated "order will ship tonight," and gave me a "confirmation of order number," which is 15 digits, might be the 15 digit code others are referring to. he said not a tracking number, just a confirmation code for the order.

yeah, i am totally impatient. lol. been stalking this phone since March. ha!

come on verizon, please send it tonite so i can haz on thursday!
[Verizon LG G3] dadsterflip:
Yea. I do have stores like that here but they know me by Now that I hate them messing with my new phone.. Lol
[Verizon LG G3] GTiceman:
Maybe I should cancel and just get this

[Verizon LG G3] kremer4:
Got mine yesterday off craigslist for $400. I was of course very suspicious. Met the guy and he said his friend works for LG. I checked the IME with Verizon and it checked out. Bought it and activated without issues. So far loving the G3
[Verizon LG G3] TokedUp:

[Verizon LG G3] oneandroidnut:
finally updated and now n/a delivery hahahaha
[Verizon LG G3] ninjazx:
shipping

Just got an email with FedEx shipping number. Package at shipping facility but no estimate delivery date yet.:fingers-crossed:
[Verizon LG G3] monkeypunch35:
I was thinking about waiting for this but, I don't think there is anyway in hell Verizon carries it. And the S5's bootloader is still locked. No way the Alpha version would be get opened up.
[Verizon LG G3] bobbarker2:
The Prime versions are Korea only or if at all they are going to launch elsewhere months after initial release.

---------- Post added at 01:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:11 AM ----------

Has anyone living in the North East gotten a tracking # yet?
[Verizon LG G3] suzook:
G3's boot loader is locked too.
[Verizon LG G3] ylexot:

[Verizon LG G3] monkeypunch35:
There is hope for it though :highfive::laugh::crying::D
[Verizon LG G3] bobbarker2:
It's locked but going by what devs are saying, there should be no prob getting an exploit to allow custom recovery/firmware.
[Verizon LG G3] oneandroidnut:
i thought the snapdragon 805 wasnt ready for usa yet??
[Verizon LG G3] THEbigSWEEN:
Hamilton, OH, eh? I'm Groveport/Canal Winchester area... Been stalking the threads while I wait on this damn phone and happened to notice that. O H
[Verizon LG G3] oneandroidnut:
haha just south of columbus man? and no o h i o lol i dont like ohio state LOL
[Verizon LG G3] lynseyw:
Mine shipped too. Due to arrive Thurday! Can't wait. I'm hoping the bootloader can be unlocked. I had an unlocked S4 and it stopped working, now stuck on Stock on the S4. Missing custom.

you jelly?
[Verizon LG G3] Alien-dx11:
Awesome, you get to play with your phone a day before most of us can, lucky guy.
[Verizon LG G3] buzzy3970:
O wow seriously I slightly am lol. When did you order?
[Verizon LG G3] jreed2560:
i ordered on Friday
[Verizon LG G3] THEbigSWEEN:
Awww booooo!! lol Gotta go for your home team! :eek: Yessur just southeast of Columbus. I think you're the closest person I've seen to me on XDA. Seen a couple Ohio's (Cleveland I think and maybe Dayton? I can't remember exactly.)

I didn't pre-order, but Friday (payday) as soon as I'm outta work heading straight to the Verizon store then straight home to root & play! Until then just lurking these threads to get my fix! I wasn't completely sold that I was going to get the G3 since I have a Note II that I'm still very happy with, but I have an upgrade, and as soon as I heard that Verizon was doing the 50% off sale that was the final nail in the coffin... $100 for a G3? Yes please! :victory:G3 FOR ME!!
[Verizon LG G3] buzzy3970:
Very lucky ordered my and have yet to receive a tracking number. Would be nice to know that my phone is shipping tonight and arrive Thurs so I wouldnt have to worry so much. I'm a day one phone release type of person lol...
[Verizon LG G3] skism007:
Finally, got my tracking number. I'm in central Minnesota.
[Verizon LG G3] rhydian:
About where? I have family in Lakeville.

Also good friends in Winona
[Verizon LG G3] J.Guido85:
I'm pretty sure I was one of the first few to order and I haven't gotten shipping info.
[Verizon LG G3] skism007:
About 60 miles east of Fargo, ND
[Verizon LG G3] dhoshman:
Looks like things are moving pretty swiftly. I received my tracking number earlier but it had no delivery estimate, now its saying the estimate for delivery is Thursday. I'm in Indianapolis btw. Cant wait to get that package and also try out some XLTE speeds in my area. FYI guys if your like me and impatient what I usually do is call and schedule a pickup that way the day of delivery I can just go to my local Fedex and pick up the package first thing in the morning versus waiting all day for a delivery.
[Verizon LG G3] tehpud:
This was me as well. I had to call and got the tracking number. The preorders will arrive day of. Ask them to dig a little.
[Verizon LG G3] jreed2560:
anyone else getting it tomorrow?
[Verizon LG G3] mikec86:
Mine is scheduled for tomorrow delivery!
[Verizon LG G3] wwevoxnj:
I ordered on the 10th early in the morning and I just got a working tracking number a few hours ago
[Verizon LG G3] mikec86:
I ordered on the 10th cancelled and reordered on the 12th. Delivery on the 16th.
[Verizon LG G3] frankdanktank:
Am i the only one still waiting for my card to be charged and get new shipping info?
[Verizon LG G3] hawkswind1:
You're not alone, nothing here either. Order status says processing.
[Verizon LG G3] Eyalkn:
I preordered on the 10th and still shows that I don't have order history. It is empty.
[Verizon LG G3] Jtblkice:
Oh yeah... Be here tomorrow!!
[Verizon LG G3] oneandroidnut:
Haha no home team!

& that's cool man you're probably the closet on here I've seen as well. And yeah $99 is tough to pass up! I still have unlimited data but using dad's upgrade lol I have to keep unlimited man. Hope you get Friday cause I'll be having fun with it hopefully Thursday! :p

You are right

I do not think there is a retail model.
[Verizon LG G3] shawnten:
Well if this thread is accurate looks like it will only be 16gb 2gb ram for Verizon. Looks like they lost me

[Verizon LG G3] hoola20055:
Yep. No g3 for me of that's the case.
[Verizon LG G3] rushless:
PDAnet has updated and changed from 3/32 to 2/16. Are they unreasonable too? ;)
[Verizon LG G3] xgman:
me too. :( But I'm stuck with Verizon, so will Verizon get the "prime" ver later? Otherwise, I'm not sure what I'll get. This whole G3 launch is a cluster f---!
[Verizon LG G3] JasonJoel:
I agree this launch has been a mess. I hate it when they 'announce' 6 weeks early and then don't give any US details in terms of release date or configuration.

Just makes for a bunch of confusion. Unnecessary speculation.
[Verizon LG G3] SightSeeker:
I'm pumped for this phone. I don't know why everyone is so upset about 2GB ram. How many apps do you need open at once? From what I am hearing they will have a 3/32 model but it will cost more.
[Verizon LG G3] rushless:
The issue is not 2GB of ram, but 10GB of available internal storage. Apps2sd is dead with Kitkat and problematic even with root.

The 2/16 is also clocked a little slower as well. A high end device with 16GB flash is pure lame and no way to spin otherwise due to Kitkat. If you are a low app user, good for you! No harm no foul :)

The average size games for higher end titles is 1.6GB installed counting user data. Again, if not a gamer- no harm no foul and good for you or anyone else the same :)
[Verizon LG G3] xgman:
all good points. we are going backwards here and they are trying to shove it down our throats. this is unacceptable to me and I know they don't care, but I'll end up going elsewhere and that's' one more customer lost for both LG and Verizon. any amount of noise on this is good as far as I'm concerned. but in the end it is just very disappointing. :(
[Verizon LG G3] SightSeeker:
So you are saying you can't install apps on an external SD card with Kit Kat? I guess that would be problematic.
[Verizon LG G3] rushless:
True dat. To make matters worse, Android 5.0 is using ART, so even LESS available internal storage for the user.

I will keep my S4 32GB until a a 32GB option with micro sd is offered.
[Verizon LG G3] dadsterflip:
I wonder how much the retail price would be? 600?
[Verizon LG G3] oo3:
It's true, they could offer different models like how they did with the Note 2. The Note 2 was $199 for the 16gb version and $299 for the 32gb version.

Edit - sorry I quoted the wrong person.
[Verizon LG G3] iamrobk:
So I guess I should just get a Galaxy S5 then rather than wait another month for this. Unless there's anything else awesome coming out in July?
[Verizon LG G3] rfarrah:
That's just crazy-talk. :p
[Verizon LG G3] sensatti:
Maybe I'll just go buy the M8 and buy a point and shoot camera to take along with me lol.
[Verizon LG G3] shawnten:
man this is depressing.
[Verizon LG G3] allan1313:
They need to release it already.
[Verizon LG G3] oo3:
I know what you mean...I couldn't wait anymore so I bought the S5 (Best Buy is selling for $99 and I had a $60 rewards coupon to bring it to $39). I'm liking the phone but not a fan of all the gimmicks. But it should hold me over for another couple weeks.
[Verizon LG G3] allan1313:
Damn 2 phones in a month lol played with a friends S5, not much different than my S4. I am ready for something new.
[Verizon LG G3] streetpounder:
I'm in greenfield area about equidistant from both of you. Still awaiting tracking uhg.

I am wishing I would have just bought in the store.
[Verizon LG G3] wublaze:
mine is scheduled for delivery tomorrow, fingers crossed. my job is the 1st stop for our driver....cant wait. it says it shipped out on the 14th.
[Verizon LG G3] rdcamero:
No tracking number yet.Did a chat with a rep that was worthless.I did see where a payment was made to my account with a credit card that ending in a 4 digit number that I don't own.

---------- Post added at 10:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:29 PM ----------

Me to.The rep I chatted with said none had shipped out and that it was illegal to ship any before the 17th.I said good bye and and took the little survey at the end.i don't think he will like the score I gave him :)
[Verizon LG G3] flaring afro:
Mine still says processing, but I pre-ordered last night. Hoping they ship it overnight tomorrow. My Spigen screen protector I bought on Amazon Prime hasn't shipped yet either :(
[Verizon LG G3] buzzy3970:
Out of curiosity did anyone that was able to take advantage of the free watch deal order ship? Wondering if that's a factor in my order pending.
[Verizon LG G3] RED ZMAN:
Both of mine just shipped, delivery date of the 17th, FedEx.
[Verizon LG G3] killswitch23456:
I just talked on the phone with a verizon rep and I had him dig as far down as he could go to look for the tracking number. He said that his screen says it was shipped and went out today, but no tracking number, so needless to say, who knows.
[Verizon LG G3] rhydian:
I've had my case and glass screen protector since Saturday.
[Verizon LG G3] wwevoxnj:
I think this is funny... Look at what time it is on the top of my phone and the time for arriving a carrier. Apparently FedEx predicts the future for shipping times haha
[Verizon LG G3] Big Dawg 23:
Too funny I am southern Minnesota. Ordered mine Friday and they charged my card today, however no tracking number yet. It's one my work line what is a pain to get information on. When I check my order number it says completed. Hopefully email comes soon.
[Verizon LG G3] sprintrjm:
re

mine says delivery on thursday.

having it delivered to a local fed ex store, dont want it getting stolen off my front porch.
[Verizon LG G3] droidrev71:
Mine did.
[Verizon LG G3] simollie:
Finally a tracking number. I probably refreshed the status page 50+ times.

Pre-ordered on last Friday, delivery Thu by 8pm to CA.
[Verizon LG G3] rdcamero:
Still nothing yet getting more pissed by the minute :mad:
[Verizon LG G3] buzzy3970:
You and me both. I'm on the phone with a rep now hoping he has some good info to give me since no one else seems to know....
[Verizon LG G3] rdcamero:
Hope you get some good info.I am finding the whole bunch of them to be pretty worthless.
[Verizon LG G3] buzzy3970:
Lol sadly thats what it was. They keep saying they can't find the order then ask me when I placed it. I give them all the info and it comes back with nothing. Had one rep that could locate my order now all of a sudden it magically disappeared in their systems but still shows pending when I check. I really don't see why their pre-ordering system is so lousy. Their the number one carrier in the U.S why can't their system and staff be the same?
[Verizon LG G3] solidage:
Still no update to my order. Super sad :(
[Verizon LG G3] 05GT:
Preordered on day one and got my tracking number this morning. Overnight shipping to Hawaii, scheduled to be delivered tomorrow the 16th!

You guys better post like a million screenshots and pictures of this phone from every angle for saps like me that have to wait till August or even longer to upgrade to this beauty.
[Verizon LG G3] simollie:
Just got the shipping notification email from VZW. It includes an item "4G NFC SIM Card". Doesn't that mean the NFC is on the sim? which leaves the 2 connectors on the cover to be...

oh yeah man; i have exams coming up :( ; i'm gonna trundle along with my Galaxy S3 until after that and then buy myself a G3 as a treat :victory:

Got delivery on Thursday. :good:
[Verizon LG G3] bobbarker2:
So.. anyone in the North East get a tracking number/shipment yet? Here it is early Wednesday morning and my order is still processing. Debating if I should cancel the order and just go to the store tomorrow.
[Verizon LG G3] x86cpu:
Same here, called verizon, even went as far as to contact verizon fraud department, they said it was legit. $74.85 credit on my account from a discover card ending in 0120. Not mine. Verizon has no idea where that payment came from. I was billed the entire phone, no tracking # yet.
[Verizon LG G3] GTiceman:
I got the same thing on my bill, from a Visa ending in 0420
[Verizon LG G3] buzzy3970:
This is really giving me sleep depredation lol. Had to call customer service because my order is still pending. I told them yesterday something had to be wrong but of course they told me its not. Too early and telesales isn't open so rep has to take down my info and call me back. Hoping to get to a resolution finally and have my phone shipped today. Shame what I have to go through to get a phone I pre-ordered as soon as it was available and a free watch.

I used ioroot. Only problem I had was get ADB to work, turns out I had to install the Verizon G3 drivers. The LG G3 drivers didn't work.

I swear, if that happens to me, I am going to be furious. I will never pre-order another phone from Verizon. I will take my business elsewhere to get a new phone at a reasonable time.

all the sims are nfc anymore for isis. that isn't solely for nfc in the device its in addition to it
[Verizon LG G3] Big Dawg 23:
I'm in the same boat as you. Mine hit early yesterday.
[Verizon LG G3] GTiceman:
The NFC SIM is what allows for the payment data to be used with ISIS Wallet I believe. The connectors are to the NFC pad in the door, having an NFC tag on a SIM would make no sense as it is buried too deep in a phone to be reliable.
[Verizon LG G3] Forest007:
Oh wow...well so much for that... I'm still waiting for someone who has the Verizon version of this phone to confirm if the phone has Qi charging with the included back. I and at least one other person have gotten confirmation that it indeed does on the Verizon website during a chat session....as I said before in another post...FWIW
[Verizon LG G3] kremer4:
Nope not included, I got mine on Wednesday.
[Verizon LG G3] Forest007:
Awwwww........that sucks.....other question is does it work with the Ebay charging backs that have the pins that match up.....(still hoping)
[Verizon LG G3] rdcamero:
I did not think our cards were charged until the phone shipped.How could our cards be charged yesterday morning yet still not have any tracking info.

It is also very Strange that three of who have not received tracking info had a $74 credit card payment applied to our accounts from three different numbers.

Here are the pics of my Verizon back cover
[Verizon LG G3] Mistertac:

Looks exactly like my AT&T back cover.

I ordered the wireless charging cover from Ebay that someone posted in another thread on this site. I'm still waiting to receive it although it has already been confirmed that it will not work with the phone that I have. I may return my AT&T LG G3 and get the Verizon version of the phone if the Ebay charging cover works with it and Qi charging pad.

CWM Recovery or TWRP

Refresh my memory, does the bootloader need to be unlocked to have a custom recovery, or just rooted? Has anyone tried to install CWM Recovery or TWRP on the Verizon LG G3? Any luck?

I would love to be able to install a custom ROM but at least I want the ability to do nandroid backups and restores.

On another note, I have the official LG G3 wireless charging cover from ebay (korea) and my LG G3 arriving today. I will post about how well it works (or not) later today when I open the box :)
