Makes sense! But if you are in the midst of an S8 study, aren't you almost done with your one year 'contract', and thus shouldn't you be able to do an S9 survey?

Interesting that your wife got an email asking for referrals, but you did not. My daughter is on an S8 study, and she got the referral email and the future purchase needs email, and I'm on a Note8 study and I only got the future purchase needs email and not the referral one...
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Saketh123:
Same here, just received a survey about my future phone purchase needs. :/
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] yarnsrj:
I'm in Note 8 study. Got referrals email and future phone survey.

Only one of the people I referred so far got the survey for the S9.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] volleysapps:
Well, s8 study goes until May. I would imagine the s9 study will start before then, so I would guess that you can't be in both.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] exhibit_II_user:
Good point, but given how long it takes to get the phone after being accepted from the survey, it may be May again by the time the S9 people get their phones...
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] jellybear456:
Yep! Got this survey the other day. Also am currently in the middle of the Note 8 study and did not get an email for referrals.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] pappy53:
:)Got my S9 survey today! I wonder how long selection will take. I hope that it is fairly quick, and that I am selected.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] exhibit_II_user:
Interesting. I wonder what the determining factor for the referrals email is, if anything. Perhaps it is just random...

Hope you are enjoying your Note8--I think it is a great phone.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] DublinLarry:
I was wondering same thing. When I got my S7 I hadn't discovered this forum yet. How long in past from survey close date (this one is March 7th) to emails about selection went out?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cheetablaze:
I will say 10-14 days would be a fair estimate on when selection could happen.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] yarnsrj:
I agree with cheetablaze; each of the 2 times I was selected, it took about a week and a half after submitting the surveys. Good luck to you folks who got an S9 survey.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Saketh123:
As far as I know, people who were chosen for the note 8 are excluded from the S9 survey as they don't want duplicate selection for two devices before the note 8 contract is up. I guess we note 8 users must wait for note 9 surveys as our contract will be over by then. Note 8 users just recieved a referral and purchase needs surveys. :)

I have 5~6 more months left for my note 8.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] joshua14:
That sounds about right. For the referral survey I got in my daughter's name I entered 3 different email addresses. This was what they asked, for family & friends. All 3 new emails got surveys but she never got a survey. Was I supposed to include her in the 3 or is she automatically considered based on insights app usage. Also my phone I got the code to deactivate & remove the insights app but for comparison sake I never requested to remove the app for her phone and she got the emails while I never heard anything after not getting picked in note 8 study surveys. Anyone else notice what seems to be working these days?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] pappy53:
So, about the time that people will receive their pre-ordered ones (16th)?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cheetablaze:
Eh, people get notified of being accepted. Then they get another email with more information on the Insights Program. Then they get a discount code to order the phone. You order it, wait in line for the phone to ship out. That whole process could take up to another week.

Are they offering anything free this time with the S9? For the S8 I received their VR headset, used it for 30 minutes and tossed it into a closet.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] pappy53:
Nothing showing free on their website. However, that may change when the phone is actually released.

I would love to see a free Gear S3.

When I got a S7 Edge on the program, it came with a free 256gb SD card.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cheetablaze:
Hah nope they wouldn't ever do that. I did just buy a Gear S3 Frontier last week from Ebay for $150. Person had it on auction at $100 with 6 days left. Messaged her directly and she said $150. Watch wasn't used for more than a couple weeks. It's in 9.5/10 condition and came with the box and all accessories.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] pappy53:
Actually, they did for a short period with the S8 or the S7 Edge. I can't remember which one.

I have the Classic and love it.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] v3n0msn4k3:
Sideloaded Oreo on my Note 8 I got from the program and it wiped my phone so their app is gone now too. Emailed them hoping I don't get in trouble.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] yarnsrj:
v3nomsn4k3,

You may want to get Insights app back on your phone since our year isn't up for a while still.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] joshua14:
One of the survey questions specifically states not to root, or mod the phone in any way or it cancels the agreement & you must return the phone. If you have it in factory reset condition you can try downloading the app again & trying the activation code that was included in the acceptance email & printed on the invoice too I believe. I think they're 1 time use codes tho.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] PagedAtol15:
If anyone is able to spare a referral for the galaxy s9 or the note 9 (when they come out), I would really really appreciate it if anyone could spare one referral for me. If not, I understand but I have been a Samsung Galaxy user since the original S1 and I currently use a Samsung note 8. I would love to be able to try and get referred into the program if anyone can just spare one referral. I would really really appreciate it and I will give back if I get in. If I get in, I will give my 3 referrals each year to people in this forum so that more people get a chance like I might've.

Thanks and I wish everyone who got the survey the best of luck in getting their devices!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] v3n0msn4k3:
Well to be fair I wasn't modding or rooting, just updating. And idk why it factory reset. I emailed them right when it happened so lets see, no response after 2 days.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] joshua14:
My mistake, I saw sideloaded Oreo & was thinking it was unofficial update or something. Best thing to do is wait for OTAs while on insights. If you know it's out but not pushed to phone yet then search for update. My s5 I got away with it being rooted the last 2 months of the 6 month program but they never said anything. Just have had to fight for anything since. I managed to get the s6 edge plus and still have that.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] v3n0msn4k3:
Yeah lesson learned. Hopefully they're lenient otherwise I need to buy an S9 and I wanted to wait for the Note 9 lol.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] joshua14:
They might just say to only update via OTA & give you a new activation code.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cheetablaze:
If any of my family gets the S9 acceptance email, I will refer somebody from the forum when the time comes.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] joshua14:
Has your DM box filled up yet? Lol. If all of my surveys get phones then next time, towards the end of the 1 year with s9, if I get referral emails for all I'll probably have some extra referrals to give out to. When that time comes I'll DM some people to get their email address, current phone type to answer referral survey questions.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cheetablaze:
Nope, not one message yet, so I guess nobody wants a referral.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] v3n0msn4k3:
They emailed me back and told me to "Kindly keep using my phone." And understood my problem. I can't believe how nice their team is.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] pappy53:
I think that they might start shipping phones next week. Fingers crossed!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] jellybear456:
I wouldn't have even emailed them. I also have been running sideloaded builds of oreo on my Note since they came out and just reinstalled the Insights app and activated with the same code.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] v3n0msn4k3:
Had no idea code would work again, I deleted that email. Will keep next time for future ref.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] AptLogic:
So I guess its safe to say that if I haven't received a survey email for the S9 at this point then I'm not going to get one at all?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] pappy53:
I think that they send them out twice.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] joshua14:
They usually do but I noticed for the note 8 study they only sent surveys out once from the chatter on here.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] pappy53:
I hope the selections go out this week. I'm ready for a new phone!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] ealarcon:
Did anyone with Sprint get a survey?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Saketh123:
During the note 8 selection period, they sent out once with around 15 people getting selected. 15 people form this forum and multiple other people who got selected from other sources. Not sure because sometimes they even have 3 rounds depending on their inventory. :) Good luck[emoji106]
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cheetablaze:
That's odd, received 3 emails from Samsung...

Thanks for completing Galaxy S9 and S9+ Device Insights survey. We are still finalizing the participants for the study based on the device inventory. As part of selection process, we require you to complete this short survey.

Galaxy S9 and S9+ Device Insights study will allow Samsung to gain insight into how customers use smart phone and make improvements to products and services.

As a part of the program, the selected candidates are required to install Samsung Device Insights App. That will help us understand how you use your phones – things you like, things you don’t. You can learn more about Samsung Device Insights app on Google Playstore.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samsung.dct.consumerretailagent.h&hl=en

For Galaxy S9 and S9+ devices provided through Device Insights program, we will use KNOX Configure to simplify installation of Samsung Device Insights app. Please check the link below for more details about KNOX Configure.

Let's do a survey for a survey!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] pappy53:
But not another survey?

---------- Post added at 01:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:53 PM ----------

I just got the same thing, my survey was one question.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cheetablaze:
Whoops yeah more like a questionnaire for a survey. At the bottom it said again, "Completing this survey does not guarantee you."
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] moopile:
Congrats guys !!!!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] pre4speed:
Just wanted to mention you can call ups or if you have an account, can change the delivery to pickup at your local ups office. That's what I just did cuz I of course have kids to get from school and other things to do between those times and they ALWAYS come when I'm gone.

EDIT:what does everyone think the chances of these phones having Android L when we get them? That'd be cool huh. Lol
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] malickie:
What would be even better is if the bootloaders aren't locked down. But yes lollipop would be nice too.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Ramhardy:
you lot are lucky lol, cursed T-mobile for being 3rd string to AT&T and Verizon
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] pre4speed:
Yes but just think, if you're selected, you're getting a better device than us cuz you won't have a locked down virgin on your hands. I know most men like virgins, but not in a phone. Lol. Being a woman myself, virgins are not really our choice. [emoji6]
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Ramhardy:
true, but the verizon comes factory unlocked, I'm just a little jumpy since everybody is getting there toys.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] pre4speed:
Patience my young padowan. Lol. I'm hoping for you too. What do you mean factory unlocked? Sim?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Ramhardy:
Yea, SIM unlocked, I've actually had the best luck with tmobile branded devices, so I'll try to be patient and not use my note 4
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Febby:
Best case scenario is you get a t-mobile device or another best case scenario is you get a att sim unlocked device. ?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Ramhardy:
That's true, free is free to me as long as it's not Sprint lol
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] xfaega:
Just received my confirmation of delivery for a S5. From the time I took the survay and now was just under a week.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Ramhardy:
Lol all AT&T and verizon peoples
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] stayley:
I was just emailed that I'll receive a black s5 for sprint. I fell like I'm downgrading :( it's free so who am I to complain?

sent from my silly note 4
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Ramhardy:
I take donations lol

this makes sense now

The top 5 wireless telecommunications facilities-based service providers by subscriber count in the United States are:

Verizon Wireless: 125.3 million (2014 Q3)[2]

AT&T Mobility: 118.7 million (2014 Q3)[2]

Sprint Corporation: 54.8 million (2014 Q3)[2]

T-Mobile US: 52.9 million (2014 Q4)[2]

U.S. Cellular: 4.7 million (2014 Q3)[2]
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] pre4speed:
Anyone else watching the tracking like a Hawk? Mine went from TX, to KY so far. However I'm in CA. Why would it go back east further just to head back west and be here by the morning? Makes no sense. I guess if you're Samsung tho, you have enough money to fuel those planes that are shipping them. Lol
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] pre4speed:
Got the phone. Be prepared guys, they give you a DEAD battery. I recommend charging before activating. This is part of the paperwork, telling about referrals. GOOD LUCK!

EDIT: also, the phone does NOT seem to like any charger except the one provided. I tried a genuine cable and the provided cable in my 6 port charger brick and it refused to charge. Nothing else was connected to it. Maybe it's cuz it was at 0%, so I'll try again when it has its full charge. Just a heads up.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Chipper2028:
Did anyone who received the acceptance email yesterday send a confirmation reply? How long did it take to get your tracking information?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] pre4speed:
I actually did reply back staying I read and accepted the terms. Was 2 days before I got the shipment email.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Chipper2028:
Great!! I basically said the same thing but hadn't heard anything back.... I was starting to get a little nervous. Hopefully I'll hear something tomorrow!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] pre4speed:
Just wanted to let everyone know, I emailed Sammy and asked about root. I'll let you know what the answer is.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] greekfreak:
I received the Knox survey too, along with all 3 of my referrals. It was a short yes or no question survey
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] DublinLarry:
And the one question was basically just "Do you agree if accepted to our use of Knox".... Sounds like the lawyers got involved... :)
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] greekfreak:
Yup, I received one and 2 of my referrals with Sprint also got a survey.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] joshua14:
Yep, I just got the Knox survey
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] pappy53:
1 question?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] joshua14:
Yeah, just to essentially verify you're willing to keep Knox on there & up to date.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cheetablaze:
Kinda thought Knox ran in the background and is built into the Rom itself... isn't it automatically updated unless you root and disable that part? I'm guessing they are expanding its capabilities and what it can do.

If you agree to participate in Samsung Device Insights program with KNOX Configure, please complete the survey by March 19th (Monday 11:59 pm ET).

Who knows now when people will be selected....
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] yarnsrj:
One of my referees got the Knox email as well. I told her it's precautionary stuff and to just go ahead and do the survey. She's not one to "Root" a device anyways, so I told her not to worry about it.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] 1Zero3forlife:
my buddy got the email but my wife did not, and she is the one who needs a new phone. all well. I'm loving my Note 8 on 8.0.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] pappy53:
That's what I'm thinking.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] joshua14:
Yeah, it's built in & necessary to run Samsung pay or other secure apps. I'm hoping it's a matter of being on the list within the capacity of inventory available at this point.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] pappy53:
Very few on here said that they got the initial survey, and even less said that they got the Knox survey. I wonder if they are narrowing down their selections?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] phishfleck:
I dunno, did anyone get the initial survey and NOT get the Knox survey? All 3 people I referred got both surveys.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] DublinLarry:
I got it and so did my 3 referrals as well.

Had to be returned by 3/17 so now that S9/S9+ are available for sale, I would hope they send emails early next week. Good luck all. Still using my S7 insights phone and hoping for an S9.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] pappy53:
Returned by the 19th. I’m hoping to get an email next week.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] joshua14:
I'm still using an s6 edge plus insights phone. Got the referral survey & all 3 emails got both surveys but the email that got the referral survey didn't get anything else. I'm still running the insights app long after the 6 months was up. I had 2 actually 1 in my name &1 in my daughter's. Removed app on 1 & left on the other to see if it makes a difference. Are you still running the app? What do most of you guys do, request deactivate code or leave the app on there?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] usuki:
I think, if you still have the app installed then you are giving them usage data. Why would they give you new phone?

I would request de-activation code asap.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] joshua14:
They want participants on the newer phones tho. I sent for the deactivate code for mine & never heard from them again on that email. So at least I got referrals this way.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] usuki:
That is true too. At least you got referral. I don't think they have set rules for selection.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] pappy53:
Just got an email with an order code! Woo-hoo!!!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] greekfreak:
Like THE order code?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] pappy53:
Yep, it says go to Samsung.com, pick the color on my S9+ and carrier, and enter promo code in payment section.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] greekfreak:
Did any of your referrals get one? None of mine have and neither have I.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] pappy53:
I had no referrals. Here is my order (with personal info deleted). I'm excited!

Congrats! How did you get your original survey...were you referred by someone?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] pappy53:
Originally did the 30-day trial on the S6, then they invited me to Insights with the S7 Edge.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] phishfleck:
Sorry, I meant this survey. It was just a follow up to your participation in the S7 program?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] pappy53:
Yes, it was.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] joshua14:
Congrats, I haven't seen anything yet or heard from any of my referrals.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] pappy53:
I'm sure that there will be more excited people on here shortly.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] DublinLarry:
So for those keeping score at home, that's 1 S9+ on AT&T... :p
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cheetablaze:
Well... Congrats to the only one person that got a phone??
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] pappy53:
It sure looks that way, doesn’t it?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] DublinLarry:
To quote someone from almost a year ago:

"I'm not sure what's going on. It's unclear if they're staging the acceptance emails, and if so, how many there are. It seems like a good number of people got accepted yesterday, and I'm seeing a few this evening. Hopefully they've just begun!"

Let's be patient....
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] pappy53:
Just got a shipping notice. Will be here Thursday. Anxious to see how well their “SmartSwitch” works to move from iPhone.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] pappy53:
I’m beginning to feel like a man on an island. ?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] v3n0msn4k3:
I'm on ATT and nothing yet.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] paynedave315:
Which carrier do you have?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] pappy53:
AT&T
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] joshua14:
I'm hoping for more staggered emails....
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] DublinLarry:
It is really surprising considering how many people here did (S7/S7+ round and then with Note 8) chime in that they were selected back then.

Maybe they need to see how much inventory they have available to keep "paying" customers and the carriers from having to wait...
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] pappy53:
It’s like they cut off the faucet.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] DublinLarry:
While you wait for Fed-Ex :)
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] pappy53:
I wonder if this has anything to do with it: https://www.androidpit.com/samsung-galaxy-s9-plus-problems-and-solutions

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] joshua14:
S9 or plus? Are you noticing any of the issues in the above article link?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] pappy53:
S9 Plus. I haven't had any issue so far.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] josiah_stiffler:
If anyone has a referral that would be greatly appreciated. I've tried getting in for two years now.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cheetablaze:
My wife just got an email for the S9+ ATT
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Quita.Bonita:
I just received a welcome email from insights for the s9+ on AT&T. My referrals haven't heard anything yet.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] DublinLarry:
So I think it is up to 3 S9+ all on AT&T so far from peoples reports here to the group.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Mmisery_:
I just got an acceptance email for s9+ on T-Mobile.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cheetablaze:
All just S9+ so.... I wonder if Monday / Tuesday will be S9, because they don't work weekends lol
