Samsung's response to my email: Sorry that you did not qualify for Samsung Financing. We don’t have any control over that but we will keep in touch if we have a better discount in the future for our devices.

Regards,

Samsung Insights Team
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] v3n0msn4k3:
I just emailed asking if the phones will really ship late Sept.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] twstd4lfe:
Good call - would be nice to get it sooner than October haha
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] MMakoto:
to the people that got the welcome email, did they say that you'll need to forward your order confirmation to them or just the order # is fine?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] v3n0msn4k3:
Forward whole email.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cpharada:
They said sorry you can't qualify for the credit. They have no control over the financing end and don't let the screen door hit you...
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] YouLogic:
I wonder if maybe they started with AT&T first because of the backorder then. Someone above mentioned that for TMobile it says ship date will be Aug 29. Possibly, they started with the carrier that has the latest ship date... Idk
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] KryogenikX:
Haven't gotten anything yet on T-Mobile but chose unlocked as first option.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] scorpio_bpl86:
I think they are done for today . I selected the same Unlocked and then TMO
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] YouLogic:
I received my welcome email for the Note 8 study at 5:49pm est so it's possible they may still be sending them out today.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Joehen873:
So now go on their and use ur code and select a trade in and see what happens
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] pre4speed:
My mom got her acceptance email. Email stated it had to be activated by September 1st? Weird if AT&T is backlogged, why would she have to activate by then? Maybe she meant had to order by then. I didn't see the email, she just told me what it said.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] v3n0msn4k3:
They're saying the promo code for the order must be used by September 1st.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] pre4speed:
Yes, I had her read it to me. My mom is not "tech smart" lol
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] v3n0msn4k3:
Lol same though, it happens
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] YouLogic:
Do we have the same Mom? Lol
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] zdrucker:
So no one received an email for Verizon/unlocked?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] YouLogic:
Looks like only AT&T so far.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] pre4speed:
Maybe! Lol it amazes me that she was the generation of rotary phones and party lines and now can't live without her smartphone that's smarter than her! And SO many times she calls me "I broke my phone". She actually deleted her app drawer once! And made her keyboard floating on her Note 4 and couldn't figure out how to get it back full size. ?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] zdrucker:
Hmm... so for the people who have participated in the past, are the emails spread out for days, or is it usually just one day?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] mike.o84:
Sprint here
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] dorothye513:
I'm wondering the same. I'm tempted to email them and ask if all the emails are going out today or not, lol, yet I don't want to swamp their email.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] YouLogic:
???? Yup, sounds just like my Mom.

---------- Post added at 11:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:24 PM ----------

Ooooh, well that totally crushes my theories on the welcome emails ??

What is your ship date for the phone?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] SeanK_:
What time did yours come in? Did you request Sprint first? I requested unlocked, but picked Sprint lasted.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] YouLogic:
I'm wondering, can I purchase the phone under my husband's name (he has better credit than me) or does it have to be purchased by me? I'll be the only one using the phone, but I would like to finance it.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Joehen873:
I emailed them earlier and they said they will be sending invite emails up until 9/5/18 so im guessing a few a day

---------- Post added at 06:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:49 PM ----------

If you ordered your note9 and it says backordered you need to email the insights team thats what they told me
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] dorothye513:
thanks for the update
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] mike.o84:
Sprint wasn't even an option. Picked unlocked carrier and just unlocked as the second option. Got the email at 12:20pm CST
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] power_book:
My guess is that as long as it is shipped to your name and address (you gave them during the survey), you're ok.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] dorothye513:
I agree. I would think as long as it's shipped in your name and address and your using the number you registered for the device, you would be ok. Seems to me how you pay is up to you.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] SeanK_:
That's right! I forgot.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] YouLogic:
Good to know, thank you!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] 1Zero3forlife:
I have emailed them twice with zero response, but other get instant responses. They seem to choose who they answer.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] KryogenikX:
You could do the credit through someone else. I got my Note 8 direct from Samsung and credit is under my wife but the Samsung account is under me. I also got the Note 9 the same way.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] YouLogic:
Okay, thank you!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] mike.o84:
Back ordered.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] jihwankwak0809:
mine too. did you email samsung about it?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] mike.o84:
Yes. Haven't heard back from them though. Just added a note in the forwarded email
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] yarnsrj:
Did all you folks who are on backorder sellect the Unlocked Note 9?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] mike.o84:
They specifically told me I had to get the Sprint version. So, that's what I did and it's back ordered.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] diggitydogg:
As a heads up, "Discount not to be used in conjunction with other discounts or coupons" is part of the agreement contract. So if you do anything else like Unidays or trade-in you are technically breaking the agreement. They might or might not care. It's up to you to decide if you want to risk it. I'm not really sure why it matters to be honest, but it's not my program so I don't get to make the rules. :)

"Termination: Samsung may terminate Participant’s participation in the Program in the event of

(a) a breach of any of the terms of this Agreement, ..."
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cheetablaze:
I'm gonna totally risk it for the biscuit.

---------- Post added at 08:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:33 PM ----------

Damn the pre-order gave me $300 for the S7, now it's only $100. I'll not be doing that trade in lol. I can sell it for a bit more on Swappa anyways.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] drankv8:
So it says we have to send them the order confirmation after we place the order. What's stopping us from ordering the phone for 50% off and then not forward them the order #, and just keeping the phone? No insights app, nothing. Just a note 9 for 50% off.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] staples101:
Go ahead and try. We're not stopping you.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] diggitydogg:
Probably the fact that you would be in breach of the contract and they would charge you the full price of the phone or make you send it back is my guess. Maybe a bit of not being a d-bag would play into your decision to not do something like that too...

You agree to the contract by purchasing the phone. No one made you. If you are not okay with the contract, then don't buy the phone.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Joehen873:
Read the email again it says knox configuration has the insights app built in
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] diggitydogg:
Yeah those preorder numbers were def higher. I checked with an S8+ and it was $400. Now it's $300. Not quite the drop that the S7 is, but still.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Joehen873:
Wait did you do the 50% off and the trade in??
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] diggitydogg:
Yeah I guess that would stop you too. Not like previously when you had to download the app and register it with a code.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] mike.o84:
Just received an email saying my order is being processed. Phone is 7-10 days out for shipping, the phone case the week of September 9th and the duo charger should be delivered on the 31st of August
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] jihwankwak0809:
does your order for the phone says backordered too? or is it just me?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] mike.o84:
It still shows up as back order on the order tab on Samsung's site, but the email had "ships in 7-10 days." Not sure which is correct. Time will tell I guess.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] SeanK_:
There goes my employer discount that's attached to my account.

Guess I can't use my account.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] yarnsrj:
If you're talking about your discount on your bill thru your employer, that should not affected by the Insights program since you're just transferring service to another phone.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cheetablaze:
I went ahead and created a new Samsung account using my .mil account. The $75 dollar savings plus after the 50% discount is just the same as trading a cheap phone in. This will pretty much cover taxes...
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] maracuya:
Does Ebates counts as breach of contact when purchasing?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] KryogenikX:
No, it doesn't alter the price you're paying when making the purchase.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] SeanK_:
No, the discount on the Samsung account, my employer or employee discount is attached to my account, isn't possible to remove, so I have to create a new account which is lame.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] YouLogic:
Anyone else get a welcome email yet today? Nothing here for TMobile.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] FuMMoD:
You didn't have to trade in a phone in order to get 50% off? I'm a vet as well and if that's the case I'm going to register another Samsung account just for the discount.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cheetablaze:
You will need to have an active .mil account because the temp password will be sent there.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] zdrucker:
Yeah.. anyone else today? Still waiting on unlocked/Verizon.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] dahliama:
Nothing here yet, also waiting on T-Mobile.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] zdrucker:
For those of you with a current Samsung device and are waiting for the T-Mobile variant... just a thought, if you don't get selected.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] MMakoto:
Did you already get your code and bought it at $925 less 50%?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] KryogenikX:
Nothing here either Unlocked/T-Mobile.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] LouCap:
I'm in the same boat, unlocked/T-Mobile. Having been in the program with the Note 5, I recall it being a few weeks before I got my welcome email.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] zdrucker:
I contacted the Insight team and they did in fact confirm that emails will be going out until 9/5.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cheetablaze:
I haven't received a code yet lol, still waiting like everybody else. The code will work because when you log into the page to buy the phones, they are already reduced down to 924.99.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] v3n0msn4k3:
Man they didn’t ever reply to me about the back ordered phones
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] dorothye513:
Not yet

---------- Post added at 06:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:40 PM ----------

this is the same thing as a student with an .edu email. I was debating if I could use that account.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] gpister:
I am kind of new here and I was going to ask if its late to try to get into the Samsung Note 9 study? If I can get a referral or an invite I would gladly appreciate it. Also if I have to email them somehow and see if their is a chance to get on this type of study.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cheetablaze:
The .edu, .gov, and .mil are benefits because you meet their criteria, hell yes use it as much as you want.

---------- Post added at 11:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:50 AM ----------

Missed it by a few weeks, surveys are released every 3-4 months. Subscribe to this forum thread and be on the lookout for email traffic about Samsung sending out survey emails.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] gpister:
Darn man. How can I be enrolled in the possibility of getting a chance to test one of this smartphones? A specific link or referral link? I remember a very long time ago I did a study and got a Note 3. I thought it was so cool at the end they let me keep it, but I never got another invite like that it was pretty good I was hoping to get on it again.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cheetablaze:
Somebody here has to submit your information when they send those emails out. Then it is up to Samsung rng to pull your name to get an acceptance survey. Nothing is guaranteed with this survey since it has seemed to pick up in popularity. There could be other ways, but you will need to read the previous 100 pages of chat on this thread.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] gpister:
I will give it a read I would like to be added to the possibility of getting in this type of study.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Joehen873:
I posted that yesterday
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] zdrucker:
What the deal with the edu emails?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] MMakoto:
just got my welcome email, selected t-mobile as 1st option and unlocked 2nd. the email is telling me to purchase the tmobile version. this is my 2nd time enrolling, but only my 1st time being selected.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] t8xan:
I just got my invite. T-Mobile
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] KryogenikX:
I just got the welcome email as well. I chose Unlocked 1st and T-Mobile 2nd. Told to order the T-Mobile one.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] zdrucker:
LEEEEEEEROY JENKINS!

HERE WE GO BOYS! I’m holding strong for unlocked/Verizon.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] SeanK_:
Maybe Sprint tomorrow?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] YouLogic:
Just got my welcome email for TMobile!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] ursula:
I just got the T-Mobile invite as well. According to the email, we can select any color and any promos available when ordering, but I have to order the T-Mobile phone. I asked for unlocked/t-mobile, so there you go.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] skel4877:
Just received the email from Samsung for Galaxy Note 9 Unlocked. I'm on Sprint, Selected Unlocked as option 1, and used an gmail account.

Good luck to all!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] mike26301:
Just got my invite for an unlocked phone. 1st selection was unlocked 2nd was Verizon.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] zdrucker:
Hmmm... still waiting.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] jellybear456:
Looks like the emails are rolling in! Congrats all! Hopefully many more to come!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] dorothye513:
When creating an account with Samsung using a student/teacher email .edu ...they offer discounts
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] KryogenikX:
I'm just gonna return the Note 9 I already had even though I got the AKG headphones. I just picked up the Icon X with the order. Not really into big headphones anyways. Easier to send back than to try and sell.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] scorpio_bpl86:
:( still no unlocked / tmobile for me
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] mkuhl2000:
Got the email for ordering Verizon and have a 9/4 delivery estimate, SView cover is on backorder till 9/23.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] MMakoto:
i've just realized that i skipped the carrier activation on my tmobile note 9 order, and the welcome email said i need to activate it, so what should i do now?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] SeanK_:
Its for Verizon only. You'll activate it when you get the phone.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] zdrucker:
Damn it - so unlocked and Verizon emails already went out?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] scorpio_bpl86:
so did t-mobile
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] mike26301:
True. In the terms and conditions they sent they said that the promo code can not be used with any other discounts. I know for teacher and students you actually have to sign in to the education section in order to get the discounts. For me my account is under developer so anytime I'm in my account I get 10 to 30% on purchases and there's no way on turning it off. I'd hate to get in trouble with something I can't control.

---------- Post added at 02:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:23 PM ----------

On my email it tells me to skip activation but only unlocked and Verizon phones are suppose to.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] phishfleck:
I think you guys are overly worried. The Insights people are pretty relaxed about most things. I don't think they're going to freak out if you're saving 40 bucks or whatever.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cpharada:
You can try and call TD Credit and ask about your Samsung finance application. Re: (866) 458-5020.

I did it and was informed I had to contact Experian to unlock my credit report and then call TD Credit back and apply. It worked for me and I've got my Note 9 on order now...
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Joehen873:
Anybody get a delivery date for att??
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] phishfleck:
You mean, other than week of Sep 23?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cpharada:
My order from earlier today says shipping my ATT phone on September 23.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] yarnsrj:
Only 1 Verizon so far?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] ragsy1083:
So far... I picked unlocked/Verizon and haven’t heard anything past the 2nd survey
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] zdrucker:
Same
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] mendolar:
Did I get passed over?

ATT but nothing yet. Participant in the N8 study.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] jihwankwak0809:
same. but the insights team did reach me and asked for my order number and they said they are trying to expedite my order so... time will tell but i dont understand why it takes a month for them to ship
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] v3n0msn4k3:
When did they tell you this?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] jihwankwak0809:
i placed my att galaxy note 9 order yesterday around 2pm and i emailed them in the morning and they reached back to me right after i placed my order. i reached back to them asking whether they have any progrsss but they told me that they are "working on it"
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] v3n0msn4k3:
I asked them about the late September shipment yesterday but no reply yet. Hopefully comes sooner.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Zoey2014:
Turn it off as device admin then uninstall. It automatically takes device admin when you install it.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] pre4speed:
Call me stupid, but can't gain admin rights to it even with the password they provided. Can you tell me how to do it? Tia
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Zoey2014:
Under "Security" then "Device Administrators". Uncheck the app.

Can we not upload a screenshot here without it being posted on the Web somewhere? Never mind, found it.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] K-alz:
Problem is you got too excited and slapped that damn app right after you booted up the phone. Lol

You Have 7 Days To Install That App After you got it. Anyway, you have to deactivate it from the play store first then uninstall it (never done that one before so I don't know what's gonna happen. I'm sure nothing, but so you know. I've done a lot of crap and they never contacted me once) then root and do the rest then install it.

If they ever email you about deactivating the app, just tell them that you apologize for that and you had a problem with the phone then you had to factory reset it ;)

They know that sometimes the battery goes to zero and you might not have a charger or something like that. They know and understand that they're giving you a phone that could encounter some issues and their app could be disconnected for a bit. As long as you activate back on.

From my Allianced S5!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] pre4speed:
Awesome THANK YOU! this battery life is killing me. More so than ads. I'm having to charge 3 times a day.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] K-alz:
There is no way battery life is bad unless you're streaming some online videos. S5 battery is way better than the N3. Anyway, you're welcome.

From my Allianced S5!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Zoey2014:
Don't know that I would agree with that statement, even taking the smaller battery into account for the S5.

With my N3 I only charged my battery once a day, at night and didn't even always need to. With my S5 I sometimes charge it twice a day or more. I have very heavy use on my phones, but I could easily go a full day with my N3 and can't with my S5.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] mopo01:
So it would seem that until you get the email to limit a person "could" refer more.....:rolleyes: :beer:

On that note can anyone can pm me referral info.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] pre4speed:
Yeah its horrible. 5 hours from 100 to 30 with only 2 hours sot. My N3 with 2 hours sot would still be 70%. Got another question. Couldn't I essentially just do a factory reset without disabling the app then they wouldn't know it had been disabled? Then root, ROM and install app as before?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] K-alz:
maybe it's different from a phone to another. mine lasts for good two days with over 4 hours of sot.

There ya go. You got it figured out. I didn't even think of that. This is going to work fo sho without them noticing.

From my Allianced S5!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] |-Goku-|:
Hello all. Just received an email asking for a referral. If someone can PM me that would be great :) .

Thank you!!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] sleepwlk78:
Just an fyi, my S5 battery life is also horrible. Also my Google services aren't connecting when on WiFi. As soon as I leave the house i get my hangout messages and emails. Play store is slow to the point it won't load any images or screenshots. My WiFi is fine. Factory reset the phone. Cleared cache. I'm ready to email Samsung insights to either take it back or exchange it. I'm missing my g3. :(
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] pre4speed:
I'm noticing I'm not getting some notifications too. The gapps services I get, but no twitter, Google rewards, my sports. Hangouts is also not updating the convo, so I was missing messages there. On my second charge for today, with 2 less than an hour phone calls killing it. Then, as on all Samsung stock ROMS I've ever used, once the battery hits 50%, forget it, it drains faster than a high speed car chase. Also gets really really hot when charging or while screen is on. I'm missing my custom ROM Note 3. I am still on the fence about taking [MENTION=5300329]K-alz[/MENTION] advice and factory resetting and rooting and ROM. I may wait just a few more days and do the same and email them saying this battery life is bad and not getting notifications consistently.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] K-alz:
Don't do that. Just don't contact them anymore. They'll simply tell you take it to an AT&T warranty center by you and replace it if you have issues with it. They have NOTHING to do with you anymore. They only give you the phone bro. Did you even read those couple of papers that came with the phone? Lol

Just root the damn thing and rom it up. Factory reset with the app on and root and rom before installing the app. Just don't freak out. They won't say anything unless the app is turned off for long while and I'm thinking you're still in your seven days grace period. So no worries. You really are making so stressful for yourself whereas it's very very simple.

From my Allianced Note 3!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] pre4speed:
Awesome. Thank you! When I get back a full charge, will do.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] wilsonch1551:
Just got an e-mail back from them.

Can someone PM me as I just got the email from them asking for the referral. Odd considering the letter says they don't give them to participants.

Thanks in advance.

Yes so they have gotten back to me and I need a referral from someone who is already in the program so any help would be greatly appreciated.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cheetablaze:
Has anyone received a survey or acceptance email today? I'm wondering if they are done with giving phones out for right now? Survey completed, nothing yet from them. Why must the wait be so painful!?
