Congrats! When did you do the first survey, if you don't mind my asking?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] mike.o84:
August 3rd.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] exhibit_II_user:
So interesting! I wonder why they are doing it in different groups like this. I completed my first survey on August 10th and the second one on August 23rd...

Good luck!!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] mike.o84:
Same to you. It is weird. The wording on the second survey request can really get a person's hopes up...
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] exhibit_II_user:
Agreed! But the fact that they are sending out multiple rounds of second surveys seems a bit problematic. Did they not get all the participants they wanted in the first round of second surveys? Did not everyone reply to the first round of second surveys, or did some perhaps, as has been speculated, respond in a way that didn't match the responses in their first survey, thereby removing them from consideration? I'm nervous now!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] mike.o84:
Yeah, but now I'm more hopeful I guess. I figured I was out after y'all got your second surveys. None of it makes any sense....
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] exhibit_II_user:
I hear you :) It's also odd that there seem to be many fewer people in this second group of second surveys. Only two people have commented on the thread about receiving them--many more commented about being in the first group of second surveys. So perhaps this is indeed just a smaller add-on batch of candidates to make up for people who washed out of the first set of second surveys...
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] runtohell121:
Haven't received anything since August 6 after getting the initial survey via sending email to them for interest instead of invitation... Guess I'm not selected then?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] mike.o84:
I wouldn't count anyone out until you see people getting actual acceptance emails and you don't get one that day.... Until then, it's all up in the air for everyone
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] FiendFyre:
My mother got the second survey yesterday, her first was on August 6th.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] AviationAtom:
Got the second last night. 30, Android user, Sprint, asked for Note7 or S7 Edge.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Joehen873:
Not everyone that gets a survey comes on this thread and talks about it. There could be 20 ppl on here saying they got surveys and another 40 ppl that got them that dont even know about this thread. The info i got the other day that i was waiting to tell ppl about was they are saying this round of surveys is gonna be the biggest ever. Bit they are still pushing the s7 s7 edge and note7. So they are gonne do 3 maybe 4 rounds of surveys where before they only did 2 surveys for each phone. There are some other things they are doing thats new. They are trying to mirror the apple program, with adding more ppl to the system. I was also told they are checking to see if ppl getting surveys asking to get into the insights program have samsung accounts and for how long, they dont want ppl getting in that aren't samsung fans or loyalists. So i advise ppl that are trying to get in the insights program if you dont have a samsung account you guys should get 1. Ill report back later. But the guys that got the second survey the 3 questions one you guys are pretty much good to go and probably will get some shipping info next week at some point not sure exactly when though
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Samip430:
I have had a Samsung account for 2 years with my main email and never even got a survey...My mom who has never had an account has gotten to the 2nd round of surveys...
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Joehen873:
Im just telling you guys what im being told.

---------- Post added at 12:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:39 PM ----------

Has she had a Samsung phone before
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Samip430:
No she has not, which is why I'm confused. Also if they are trying to expand and learn about what they need to do in order to bring over people who use Apple, etc why would they prioritize Samsung loyalists? Just seems strange to me.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] graydiggy:
Hey guys. OP here. I am not really supporting this thread anymore. Haven't been for awhile. I used and ended up breaking the screen of the S5 I got awhile back.

Anyway. I have since moved to Nexus devices. I humbly request that users stop sending me messages about getting a referral. I have expired any referral pull that I did have.

I am more than happy to keep this thread active for as long as the program is running, but please refrain from sending me messages regarding referrals to the program. I cannot give referrals anymore.

Thanks guys.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] spatadia14:
Does Apple have a program like Samsung insights? If so, what is it called?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] exhibit_II_user:
Thanks so much for sharing this info. As a second survey recipient, I feel very hopeful now. And I do indeed have a Samsung account--how much that helped me, I don't know. I believe I got the initial invite due to my participation in the Samsung Test Drive...
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] jellybear456:
Well it has been a week since this second survey...fingers crossed for something today.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] mike.o84:
It's only been a few days since I got the second survey...
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] spatadia14:
There was 2, possibly 3 different batches of the 2nd survey and for the people in the 1st batch, such as I, we should be hearing back something today since it's been a week now. Could also be tomorrow because I got the survey Mon, Aug 22, 2016 at 11:28 PM so depending on what they consider "within a week"
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] mike.o84:
I know, I was just saying it because of the possibility of it being another automated email and the "week" would be after the last round of second rounds... Either way, good luck
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] spatadia14:
I understand. It makes sense that they would do it all at once, but they might also send it out in batches just like the 2nd survey.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] mike.o84:
Hopefully, it would be nice to see some confirmation and what they actually send out
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] spatadia14:
Yup, i'm looking forward to getting something from them today or tomorrow. Maybe if someone gets it before the others, they can at least post a screenshot or something to let us know what to be on the lookout for!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] captivated1971:
I got the first back on the sixth of august and havent got another yet so im figuring im out also. Like you said , theres alot that dont say much lol.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] jellybear456:
Also received mine around the same time. So I'm hoping for tonight or at least overnight.

Fingers crossed. Time will tell:good:
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] spatadia14:
Yup, I remember you posting right after I got my survey saying you received a survey so hopefully we get something by tonight!! I am super excited and stoked but again, receiving and doing the survey doesn't guarantee that you will get a phone so fingers crossed that we both actually get something saying we are getting a phone or at least some more information on this!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] exhibit_II_user:
As an eager would-be member of the Mobile Insights program (fingers crossed to hear something back from the second survey today!), I recently read through all 175 pages of this thread, and I found your posts to be really helpful, Joehen873. I hope you don't let the sour postings of a grammar nazi keep you from participating in this thread!

Thanks a lot for all your help :)
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] honeydewww:
Thank you for all your posts. They have been a tremendous help and it's great to have some sort of confirmation rather than hearing nothing for weeks on end. Please know that you are greatly appreciated by many many many people on this thread and the people who criticize helpful members like yourself are the ones that do not belong here. That being said, if you no longer want to post here because of that one individual, the rest of us would feel a great loss., but we would understand because you are taking time to help us out when you are by no means obligated to. Regardless, thank you for all your time and effort!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] exhibit_II_user:
Hey, does anyone have any guess as to which time zone the sender of the welcome emails is in? Just curious as to the time period in which we might (fingers crossed) receive a reply...

Thanks!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] honeydewww:
Not sure if this information is helpful at all. But got the initial invite email around 9am PST, got the 1st survey around 10am PST, and got the 2nd survey around 8:30pm PST. So not sure what to take from that....it seems like it was all over the place.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] exhibit_II_user:
Thanks for the data points. For me: I can't find my initial email, but the first survey was 3:41 pm Central and the second survey was 7:22 am Central...
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] exhibit_II_user:
FYI, someone on the SlickDeals thread on this same topic is reporting that she just received an email from Samsung with her new device serial numbers and other info (but no tracking yet) ...but interestingly, it is for a Note 5, not Note 7...
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] spatadia14:
Is it okay if I PM you and ask for more info from time to time? Didn't know that one person would ruin it for every one.... A** hole.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Joehen873:
Absolutely and note just the note 7 program i can get info on all the programs

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] exhibit_II_user:
Thanks! Is that the Vienna Channels people? Do they send out all the emails/surveys/etc?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Joehen873:
Guys again it is very rare to get a brand spankin new phone alot of these phones are refurbished ones. So alot times phones are having problems you send it in samsung sends a new one to you they fix the one that had problems and it is given to a bunch of different places 1 of those places is to the insights program. So alot of times ypu have to wait for their inventory to build up. But again i did hear they were gonna mix in alot of new phones so its hard to say , but that is usually why it takes a few weeks after initial release is so they can build up the inventory

---------- Post added at 05:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:45 PM ----------

Its called vienna channels samsung mobile devices
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] exhibit_II_user:
Great to know, thanks :) You are so helpful!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] SkyZero101:
Ok so just a quick question back on topic....

Since the second survey said that they would respond withing a week, and the deadline for submission was Wednesday the 24th at 6pm, do you think that responses should be out by tomorrow?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] joshua14:
Patience, patience and more patience. People will post when shipping emails start going out. If you aren't in that round of emails that day, then more patience. Or try to email again.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] jellybear456:
Regardless of who is in the wrong here, it's nice someone is giving us some additional info to help us with some of the ambiguity of this program. Clearly he has some sort of idea about what's going on considering he's been in this thread far longer than most, myself included. I doubt he's wasting his own time to post fake information every day, and if he is then so be it, stay patient. No need to bring negativity into this otherwise positive and hopeful thread. Now let's get this discussion back on track before a moderator steps in. I still wish everyone the best of luck:svetius:
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] spatadia14:
Well officially been a week, I guess we'll have to wait til Thursday now!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] exhibit_II_user:
Why Thursday in particular?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] spatadia14:
I was just going off the survey dates that were reported in this forum and several others and Thursday seems like the new "within a week" since they had until last Thursday to do it and so it would be a week form that date.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] exhibit_II_user:
Makes sense...too long though!!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] spatadia14:
Yeah I guess, but it's better than not getting any email from them ha ha
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] exhibit_II_user:
Also better than getting the 'keep you on file' email...
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] spatadia14:
Most def. ha ha, that way at least we know we still have a shot of getting a new phone!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] novabulova:
I received an invitation to email and join Samsung Mobile Insights on 7/20. On 8/10, I received an email titled "Invitation to Samsung Device Insights Program" with a link to the first survey and I took that the same day. On 8/24, I received an email titled "Samsung Mobile Insights_Quick Survey" with a three question survey which I also too that day. Still hopeful that I get in. I had an S3 when it first came out and participated in the Samsung Test Drive program (Note 5) late last year. I have had iPhones in the meantime.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] exhibit_II_user:
Your profile sound identical to mine. Not sure if you saw it or not, but one of the Senior Members here (Joehen873) who has some inside contact in the Insights program posted late last week that he had heard that the folks that had received the second survey were pretty much good to go in terms of acceptance into the program and should receive some sort of shipping info this week...
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] novabulova:
I did read that, and I hope he is right. Good luck to you too! :)
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] spatadia14:
Anyone get any updates?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] exhibit_II_user:
Nothing here :(
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] jellybear456:
Nothing yet. I'm thinking it may be Thursday or Friday because some received the second survey later than us.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] SkyZero101:
Im thinking that since the survey deadline was last Wednesday at 6pm EST, we might get some signs tomorrow
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] exhibit_II_user:
But if you count the first 'second survey' group's one week period by our submission deadline, then it should be tomorrow :)
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] spatadia14:
Yup, so let's hope we get something tomorrow!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] bestlands:
I dont like the fact when you guys say I hope we get something tomorrow, I havent even :confused: the second survey. lol Im such a poor dog!!!!:confused::(
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] jellybear456:
This is true. One more reason to look forward to today:fingers-crossed:
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Bubba:
Well if THISis true ... those waiting for Note 7 may be a while waiting.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] jellybear456:
IF this is true, it may be only for South Korea. Also, here is an article saying it may only be in South Korea, and yet another saying that those Note 7s that have been having issues seem to only be those international variants using their Exynos SoC so maybe we'll be safe here in the US? Also, faulty and cheap USB type C cables may be to blame as well.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] spatadia14:
Looking forward to some good news from Samsung today, but we shall see.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Joehen873:
Waiting to hear back from my buddy today and ill let ypu know
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] jellybear456:
Please do my friend:)

Please add me to the referal list. Thank you all and Merry Christmas.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] TNDroid:
Just got accepted into the program and I'm waiting for the tracking information on the phone. 2 people shoot me a PM and I'll send you a referral. Fair enough?

And BAM they're gone!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Febby:
I'd love to try this out [MENTION=4273149]graydiggy[/MENTION] if my name can please be added. One pub buddy to another. ;)

If anyone has any referals let me know as I'd love to get in. :)
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] TNDroid:
Receiving the S5 with UPS delivery date of 12/24! They move quick once you're selected. If I could've given referrals to everyone I would have.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Febby:
That's very cool. I hope I can get in eventually. :)
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] pre4speed:
I sent my referral in a couple weeks ago and still haven't heard. How long did it take from referral submission and the next email?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] TNDroid:
I believe I sent my referral in on October 29th. So, almost 2 months.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] paynedave315:
Can I get a referral name please

sent from my beast note 3
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] roots07:
Just got my official invite. If anyone has a referral name I'd love to have it.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] K1ngs:

Hey guys,

I finally got my invite! Samsung's given me a little Christmas present haha, all I need is a referral =)

I hope someone can help me out! How do I go about adding my name to the list?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] paynedave315:
I just need a referral already have my official invited

sent from my beast note 3
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Da_G:
I've been on the waiting list since June.. Haven't heard anything from them for a few months. If anyone has a spare referral, I guess I would be needing one also if I ever do hear back from them. lol :)

I'll be sure and toss mine in the hat if I get accepted.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Morningstar:
Awwww....I want in.... :(
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] freddiechico:
Just received my invite. Can I get a referral? Thanks
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Ramhardy:
If someone could give me a referral for new years that would be awesome
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] forrest89sei:
I'll throw my name in the hat, if anyone has a referral that would awesome! Thanks
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] AviationAtom:
I just have to say, Samsung is bound by no requirements just because of something they said in the email. :P

Be patient, you'll hear back when you hear back, assuming you're a chosen one.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] mike.o84:
I don't think anyone feels Samsung is required to do anything based on the emails, but we're all just speculating and hoping. At least, that's how I feel....
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] jellybear456:
Well it's official, Samsung halted Note 7 shipments. This may delay the program, or they'll just hand out s7's. I'll happily wait longer for a note 7.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] novabulova:
Thank you for keeping us in the know.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] michaelgcarro:
Could you please reply to the PM I sent you?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Joehen873:
Ok guys this may not effect you fuys though thats what im trying to find out. I told you guys before that its very rare to get a brand new phone atleast my s7 edge wasnt because it already had the insights app on it, so with that being said they may already have enough refurbished phones for this round of the surveys. Dont hold me to it thats what im thinkin i didn't get this from my buddy. Im waiting to hear back from him. I will let you guys know as soon as i find out. Keep calm guys. If you picked the s7 or the s7 edge this should not effect you guys thats if this is what the hold up is about. But again these are mainly refurbished phones so you guys still might be good
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] SkyZero101:
Do you have an estimate on when Samsung will give out confirmations?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Joehen873:
No everything i was told i got right on here and posted it the only thing about estimated time is what i was told about if you got the 3 question survey it should be with in the next couple days but that was before today. Im waiting to hear back from him so ill let you guys know
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] v3n0msn4k3:
How do you know if the phone is refurbished?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] ztw2002:
thank you Joehen, please keep us posted.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] spatadia14:
Thanks for pouting these updates. It's helpful!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] jellybear456:
(im)patiently waiting...
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] spatadia14:
Yeah I'm in the same boat!!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] spatadia14:
Another day, another lonely email mailbox.... Just keep on waiting I guess!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Bubba:
Might be many lonely days if waiting on the Note 7 Possible world wide recall
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] joshua14:
Yeah, maybe this can mean a bunch of refurbished phones available for the Insights program from the amount of people that jump ship after returning their note 7 and go with iPhone 7 or the one with a stylus? We shall see. Lol. But I know even with my s6 edge plus the connector gets hot while charging. I don't ever leave it plugged in overnight, I don't use the fast charging as that makes it worse. People these days are too impatient and the demand for quick charging is bound to cause issues like this that the note 7 is experiencing. The will most likely just have to replace the 3rd party type c cables but lithium batteries are prone to getting hot as is so a cheaply made cable doesn't help.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] jellybear456:
I'll happily wait as long as they send me a note 7:rolleyes:

---------- Post added at 02:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:49 PM ----------

Is the recall worldwide or only in South Korea? This article makes it seem as if it is only the South Korean variant, as the Chinese launch event for the Note 7 is still happening today as planned.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] spatadia14:
From what I read last night, Samsung officially stopped shipping devices to conduct "further tests" and the sister company Samsung SLI (The company that makes the batteries) announced late last night that they did not find any issues with the batteries and said the cause of the two known phone blowing up could've been 3rd party accessories or the condition the phone was in before charging it (like the got it wet and the 3rd party charger didn't recognize that and didn't stop charging it) This program should not be impacted by any of this..... FOR NOW
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] sosquidtaste:
Gonna chase this slightly off-topic (because I still never received even an initial survey so waaaaahhh for me :P). If indeed the issue is not a manufacturing defect and a case of freak accidents cropping up, what a shame for Samsung. This is probably the worst timing for a new [BLANK]gate to happen with the new iPhone launch just around the corner. They were killing it in terms of media coverage and (from my anecdotal experience) public perception of the Note 7.

That said, the thought of a phone catching fire on my night stand is pretty terrifying so I'm glad it was reported and investigated.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Joehen873:
South korea is right , i think its only there that the phone was recalled. But with that being said it still might not effect the U.S.A because our note7 is different from the international note7 so lets just hope its not effecting our version
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] jellybear456:
Exactly what I was hoping. Hope it doesn't affect us here.
