My package arrived at the destination facility today at 2am, and I asked if I could pick it up instead, but told me they won't touch that container/trailer until Tuesday morning. The FedEx tracking details said it's a residential delivery address and to deliver on weekdays only, how strange of a request from Samsung. I would think that weekends are preferred for residential addresses.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] power_book:
Mine left Indianapolis today. Hopely get delivered on Tuesday.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] YouLogic:
Yes, especially when a signature is required!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] LouCap:
Since you're in a new study, they probably want to make sure you don't use the code on the Note 9. I'm not saying you would, but that seems the only logical reason why. When I asked for my code in the past, I got it without any problem, but I wasn't starting a new study.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] power_book:
​

Deactivation code is imei specific. It won't work for note 9
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] LouCap:
Well...then I got nothing.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Joehen873:
Im really pissed off about this , i tryed to change color i tryed to change to unlocked and they wont let any ATT users change unlsss you somehow pull it off yourself. How come no one mentioned to the ATT people that the phone was on back order. I know im complaining but i paid the same amount that Samsung did for my note 9 so we have every right to be pissed. The s10 will be out by the time we get our damn note 9s. Im really half tempted to use my trade in and order another note 9 and sell it whenever i get the 1 from att
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] diggitydogg:
Just cancel and reorder what you want. The coupon code will work again once the order shows as cancelled. Chat told me last night that the code has an expiration of Sept 9th so you can cancel and use again today without issue.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] usuki:
I cancelled once last night and ordered again and it worked.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] diggitydogg:
What did you pick as your reason for cancelling? If you picked it would take too long, did it offer you 10% off to keep your order when you tried to cancel? Or did it cancel it immediately?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] usuki:
I cancelled immediately and was not offered 10%

Reason, whatever was the first one..I dont remember exactly.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] zdrucker:
I cancelled and chose shipping would be too long. I instantly received a notification that stated if I keep the order, an additional 10% would be taken off. SCORE.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] jihwankwak0809:
which device did you order that canceled and which one did you order?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] diggitydogg:
Yup. This still works. I just verified it again myself on a secondary account. Apparently you can only do it on one order per account. I had multiple orders.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] SamsungConvert:
Some users report losing their promo accessories after receiving the ten percent discount, did you? I think everyone wondering why some people have and others haven't.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] usuki:
I ordered same device again. Tmobile blue
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] diggitydogg:
I didn't lose anything. Mine is the AT&T blue model that is on backorder.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] pre4speed:
Is the purple on backorder too? My mom had me order hers and it said expected delivery September 7th. Problem is, she's on vacation and won't be home until the 26th.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] diggitydogg:
Check your order confirmation page and see if it says BACKORDERED in big blue bold letters next to the phone.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] zdrucker:
I ordered the blue Verizon variant and didn’t lose a thing!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Joehen873:
So what was the reason for canceling and re ordering it just to get the 10 percent. I have talked to the insights team numerous times since i placed my order and they told me that September 23rd ship date is way off its gonna come sooner so im not messing with mine. The lavender note9 for att is not on backorder
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] diggitydogg:
Huh? I didn't cancel and reorder. I just clicked cancel and it offered 10% refund to my CC when the phone was delivered if I didn't go through with my cancellation so I accepted that. My main reason for doing it was that I like having $50 back in my pocket more than not having $50.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] power_book:
Those of you who didn't get selected for Note 9 Study. Maybe better thing is coming soon. Galaxy X.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] pappy53:
It will probably be $1000 after discount!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] v3n0msn4k3:
I hope I get my Note 9 by my trip on the 16th.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] DublinLarry:
Both of my referrals that got the code ended up declining. 1 did not get approved for financing, the other decided better deals like 2 for 1 (same as 50% off) would be available. Shame, since I've had 2 phones in this program (S7 and S9+) and am loyal to Samsung and don't mind sharing the data.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cheetablaze:
That sucks because I would take the code and use it... I'd pass my S8 to my son and my whole family would be good on mobile devices for a couple years. :(

Have them pm me the code and I’ll jump on the Note 9 train tonight lol.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] scorpio_bpl86:
+1
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] twstd4lfe:
Everyone needs to remember that these codes are given to selected users and its tied to their emails for additional surveys, support, deactivation etc.

Sharing codes is against the rules and goes against what you signed earlier to even be considered - that and its a quick way to have this program shut down if people start abusing the system.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] LouCap:
Not to mention that there are those of us who haven't gotten a code yet, so people not using a code is the only way Samsung MIGHT reach out to us. Rumor has it they're sending them out till tomorrow, so if a code isn't used by the date specified it could be offered to someone on the waiting list.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cheetablaze:
There should be a ton of unused codes, Samsung should be doing some serious outreach to other survey participants.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] zdrucker:
Couldn't agree more... please don't abuse the system here, guys. Obviously Samsung has the codes tied to your email address. You signed a damn agreement!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] LouCap:
That's what I'm hoping!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] SeanK_:
Please Please Please! Come on Samsung! Make my day!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] pappy53:
I'm on the S9+ program with an AT&T phone. I am switching to a Verizon carrier, and I emailed Samsung about how to proceed with the program. This is the response that I just received: This email regards to your carrier change request.

As per the user agreement, you can not change your carrier during the agreement period.

Thanks for understanding.

Regards,

Samsung Device Insight Team.

So, I guess that I will just hang on to the phone with no service and see what happens. I really don't know what they can do, but I guess that I will find out. Maybe I can keep it for the rest of the term anyway.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] zimgir124:
Back In the s6 edge plus days I was able to do this.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] pappy53:
Able to do what?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] diggitydogg:
They very well could charge you for the entire price of the phone. They could also just have you send it back to them. Who knows, but it would be interesting to see how it plays out.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cheetablaze:
Well honestly what do you have to lose? Get it unlocked and move it over to Verizon. I have a feeling that as long as the phone is active and sending them information, you will be fine.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] zimgir124:
I got a new phone part way through the trial. I kept the insights phone off and stored away for like 6 months.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cheetablaze:
LOL, pretty sure that's definitely how the phone is not supposed to be used. How long ago was that?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] zimgir124:
That's exactly how it was supposed to be used Haha.

It was back whenever it came out.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cheetablaze:
hah nice, yeah I would think that their processes have improved to ensure people just don't throw the phone into a drawer. They definitely want that real time use information.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] pappy53:
Yep, just got the unlock code from AT&T. Unlocked it, put in the Verizon sim, and it works like a charm!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] power_book:
Just received Unlocked version today. Insights app installed automatically by KNOX.

Counting 1 year starting today until deactivation.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cheetablaze:
Nice!

Disregard my private message then, enjoy that phone. You should be good to go, they get data... they are happy.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] pappy53:
I spoke too quick. Will not place or receive calls. Maybe I need to change APN settings?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cheetablaze:
Yep! Grab the APN settings for Verizon and add it manually.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] staples101:
Still no email to get in on this. Losing hope.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Joehen873:
I have done this twice i have been in the insights program for years. Just keep it charged and connected to wifi thats all you have to do
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] usuki:
I did not log in the samsung account while ordering, how do I link the order or open in shop samsung app to try canceling to see if they offer 10%.?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cheetablaze:
My acceptance email came in an hour ago, Note 9 here I come!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] SamsungConvert:
A slickdealer just got his Unlocked invite code at 7PM (redeem by 9/7) EST tonight. Still a glimmer of hope!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] LouCap:
There's still a chance!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] jellybear456:
They are. I didn't order until the day before the September 1st cut off and i received 2 different emails telling me to order the device or tell them that I am not participating so that they can offer the code to someone else.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cheetablaze:
Yeah I found somebody who wasn’t able to use their code, that individual and I both emailed the Insights team. I’m chalking it up to the power of team work why this worked.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] pappy53:
Congrats!?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cheetablaze:
Anybody with ATT have their phone shipped out yet? This Sept 23 date is depressing as hell to look at.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Joehen873:
Nope and all the insights team keeps saying we are trying to expedite the shipping but still nothing. This sucks i saw we demand a free 70 inch curve UHD TV. LOL
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] jihwankwak0809:
i wont say a word from now on regarding the shipping if i get a free tv! haha
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] YouLogic:
Yay that's awesome! Congrats!

My Note 9 was delivered yesterday, Samsung emailed me the deactivation code for my Note 8 this morning. Gonna get it all set up now. Can't wait to check out this phone!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] scorpio_bpl86:
I hope they send out some unused codes today . i emailed them showing willingness to use the code .
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] LouCap:
You and me both my friend. I emailed them earlier today to inquire if any more codes were being sent...and I might've mentioned my willingness to part with $500 to participate in the program.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cheetablaze:
My email was sent at 718 pm EST, plenty of time to receive an email from them.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] SeanK_:
I did the same last night saying I'm very interested in doing this program.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] yarnsrj:
The inventory this round must be very low due to response on the forum.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] LouCap:
Yeah, I've seen folks posting that they got their invite emails anywhere from 7-9:30pm. Some of the earlier invitees got theirs in the afternoon, but I think these late rounds require a bit more juggling during the daytime.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] dorothye513:
I just got an email for tmobile verison at 5:32pm est. I emailed them yesterday saying 'since I didn't selected for Note 9 study, please keep my information on record for the Galaxy S10 or GalaxyX if you do the program. I really appreciated being in the previous studies, and look forward to any future opportunities you may offer" lol....and today I got an email. Not saying that works but I just figured I would email them after I came to terms I probably wouldn't get picked and if I didn't picked just to be in mind for next time.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] LouCap:
That's similar to what I did this morning...fingers crossed I hear something tonight.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] babygirl0419:
I took the survey on the 13th and received a tracking number yesterday. Phone will be here sometime today. Jus hang in there.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] mopo01:
Looking for a referral for the program. If anyone could be so kind and pm a referral to me.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] malickie:
So just out of curiosity, for all those who have gotten accepted into the program. Any of you having issues pushing OTA updates?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] pre4speed:
Yup. No updates available for mine BUT I'm on cricket, so I won't get them, I don't think. Even tho its thru AT&T towers. Oh well
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] kschris:
Does anybody still have their paperwork? I'm curious about the penalties for deactivting a phone early. I've had mine since August. My 6 months are up on the 4th. I was planning on upgrading when the program was up, but I'm going to be traveling next week and would love to be able to get a new phone before I do so. I figure it's only a week early, Samsung shouldn't care too much, right? But I don't know if I want to risk them sending me a bill for the full price of the phone or something over just a few days early deactivation.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] pre4speed:
My paperwork actually says nothing about penalties, just that the app has to be kept for the 6 months.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] kschris:
Apparently there's no way to deactivate the app without the code you get from Samsung. Tried to go through phone administrators and uncheck it to uninstall the app, but everything is greyed out and I can't even factory reset the phone. That is greyed out too.

Guess I have no choice but to stick it out another week, and just upgrade later.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] pre4speed:
My options are available, but I went into the app when I installed and changed the factory reset option to off. Plus I still have my password. maybe you could contact them and tell them your problem and they'll allow you to uninstall early?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] majortaylor:
6 months is almost up for me:)
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] pre4speed:
I just rooted and put DK on mine. Factory reset, rooted, safestrap and the ROM. Still reinstalling my apps I want from my Note, then make a backup and THEN reinstall the insights app. Runs smoother already.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] malickie:
If you read the terms it does say no root or custom rooms allowed. I am fairly certain with what the insights app has access to they would be able to tell.

Also for those whose 6 months are up and haven't heard from Samsung. You can always use Odin and restore phone to blank slate that way.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Ramhardy:
what carrier do you have though? Seems like everyone has either, AT&T or variant, or Verizon, or Sprint, nothing from T-mobile yet.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] xfaega:
After a long debate, I decide to use the S5 sent to me. I've always had a note class phone and it's going to be hard getting use to the S5. I know it was free and I shouldn't make a big deal out of it, but some of you understand what I'm feeling. Anyway I also wanted to add that my battery was 62% charged out of box. Also lastly I didn't have to use the charger provide. I used a Griffin charge with no issues.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Ramhardy:
i've noticed a common trend, its everyone but t-mobile currently getting phones for this batch
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] pre4speed:
Actually my terms said nothing of the sort lol. Yes I'm sure it would be able to tell what I've got, but I did hide root from the app. I had a little trouble getting the insight app started, but finally got it after 3 reboots. As others in the program that have rooted have said, they want to see how the phone is used, well that's how I personally use my phones. Always root and custom stock ROM, even on my unlocked bootloader phones. I like TouchWiz, but a lighter version of it that devs release. The phone runs smoother without all the at&t bloat. I know that's what slows these phones down, all the added bloat.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Jaybenosa:
Damn I wish I seen this earlier about rooting, I already upgraded to 4.4.4 on the note 3. Is there any way to root it yet?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] pre4speed:
Yeah it involves downgrading the kernel, rooting then updating the kernel back.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2983357
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] MicrosoftBug:
I'm having trouble getting the insights app to run. I rooted and installed DK 4.0 and hid root with Rootcloak but after I input my password and hit confirm, the app locks up. I've tried several times with the same result. My week is up tomorrow and I'm freaking out. I really don't wanna go back to stock. [emoji33] [emoji24]
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] pre4speed:
What I did was update the xposed framework to the experimental 2.7 version. Don't know why it's still experimental because it's stable and works. Reboot then try again. Make sure the root cloak isn't hiding the app when you first sign in, then as soon as you sign in, go hide it again. Then go back into your app and adjust the admin and user settings.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cheetablaze:
There are quite a few people on the reddit page and also slickdeals.com. No clue why those people just don’t come over here. We’ve been up and running the longest.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cheetablaze:
My order was pushed to the first week of October now... no wonder people don’t want this phone lol.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] pappy53:
I can’t believe they are that popular.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] mike.o84:
For what it's worth, I just got notified that my Sprint Note 9 was shipped today.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cheetablaze:
What was the expected ship date for sprint?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] mike.o84:
It never said.... I've been backordered since August 27th.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] dorothye513:
from what I've seen, people were saying to email Samsung Insight if it says backordered and they would try to expedite it I believe. I'll be ordering Friday and see what mine's says. It'll be the Tmobile version
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Klown80:
I emailed them on Monday and they replied back yesterday (tues), here is their reply to me asking if it would really be week of Sept 23 before AT&T note 9 ships:

Hi,

Thanks for your email.

We will check and let you know.

Regards,

Samsung Device Insight Team.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] jihwankwak0809:
same situation
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] scorpio_bpl86:
i think that was the end of this survey
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] YouLogic:
I'm setting up my Note 9 and it's asking for a password to set up Insights, I don't remember Samsung ever giving me one. The only code I got was to purchase the phone. I'm sending them an email now about it, but for those of you that already set theirs up where is the password?

Edit: Wierd... I set down the phone to post this and when I came back, it closed. Now when I open Insights, it's running like normal. Lol. I guess I'm okay and do not need a password, not sure what that was about.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cheetablaze:
I wonder what kind of black magic Samsung uses to automatically install the Insights app through Knox?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] power_book:
If you go to "About phone" -> software information -> Knox configure.

You will see "Samsung device insights" is controlled by KNOX. They can remotely control your phone (???).
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] YouLogic:
Yes lol.

---------- Post added at 09:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:33 PM ----------

Right! I just thought that was strange. In the past, we've always had to install the app ourselves and use a password they gave us with the phone and this time it's like they typed in a password for me while I wasn't looking ??
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] power_book:
I think they want the total control of insights program phone.

You can actually remove device insights app by re-flashing firmware with modified odin before.

With this change, KNOX will reinstall insights even if you flash firmware as it is tied to your phone's IMEI.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] the1manpack:
Just got accepted last night, and ordered the phone about 11 pm pacific, and it shipped out today about 2 pm.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cheetablaze:
Tmobile / Sprint?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] LouCap:
Congratulations, I think it's game over for me!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] scorpio_bpl86:
just got my code at 9:40 pm EST for unlocked .

says i need to buy it ASAP
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] LouCap:
Then again...maybe it's NOT game over!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] scorpio_bpl86:
I almost gave up

but then the email came through

Hope you get the code too ( I emailed them yesterday as well showing willingness )
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Joehen873:
What carrier???
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] scorpio_bpl86:
it is unlocked
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] staples101:
Am I the only one who doesn't get replies after emailing them?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] LouCap:
Nope, they never responded to me either.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Joehen873:
Haha i know but what carrier do you use??
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] scorpio_bpl86:
sorry

I will use it on t-mobile
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] YouLogic:
My sister recieved her welcome email at 11pm tonight for TMobile. They are definitely still sending them out. I think these must be the promo codes that weren't used, I'm sure there is a lot.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] usuki:
I used my promo code to order tmobile blue note 9 last Saturday. Due to processing issue, it did not go through and I emailed insight team on Tuesday. I called CS on Wednesday and she told me order is cancelled and promo code is cleared to use until 9th ( when promo code expires). I placed order yesterday with same promo code.

Last night I received another promo code, not sure what to do? Will the first one be not part of this studay?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cheetablaze:
Eh just email them back and say you accidentally sent me two codes lol
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] LouCap:
HA! You got two codes and I can't even get one?!? They're running a tight ship over there.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] dorothye513:
It's crazy because they emailed me a tmobile promo code wednesday and when I went to checkout to use it it says ' promotion already been used' ...OMG...I hope they email me back asap smh
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] maracuya:
Emailed them stating I'd pay in full if there's room for one more in study. *Crossing fingers*
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cheetablaze:
Pay in full as 100%, they pay nothing and still suck information off of your device?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] LouCap:
Are you saying that you'd pay the full $1,000, or the $500 like everyone else? If you're going to pay the $1,000 you might as well just run out and buy yourself, because you're giving them your information exchange for nothing if you pay full price.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] usuki:
Ha ha ha
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] diggitydogg:
I would imagine they mean as in not financing the phone.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] pappy53:
Anyone want to buy an AT&T S9+ in black to use the rest of the program? I got an unlock code from AT&T and unlocked it.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] scorpio_bpl86:
got code yesterday ... ordered it then

phone shipped and will be here on Tuesday . That was quick
