Does anyone who is in the program know how to make the Samsung Device Insight app to not show up in the recent app screen. It never goes away and when you try to swipe it's says " Security policy restricts you from dropping this application" is there some way to hide the app from the recents screen.

Also does anyone know how to push the DQA keeps stopping update. I know Verizon sent it out cause people who have the phone and are on Verizon received it on the 25th of April.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] spatadia14:
If you aren't getting the update, go to a Best Buy location with a Samsung Experience shop, they'll install it for you.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] yarnsrj:
I've noticed since Nougat update, after a reboot, Samsung Device Insight app no longer shows up in my recent apps unless I physically tap on the app.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cheetablaze:
OMG Samsung is offering a different deal with a purchase of the phone. I would have happily taken the 64gb card and flip case.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] bestlands:
They do, I waited a couple days to order it and now we get a case, netflix, and sd card, as well as the included earbuds. Your probably jealous.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cheetablaze:
Nah, already grateful and happy I've been able to use the S8 for a few days. After I go to the local gun store and buy another Glock today I'll swing by Target/Walmart and buy a memory card also. Still a win win regardless.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] hvtoan:
Anyone with Tmobile got selected? This time they don't send waves of acceptance emails but only for a few carefully selected persons who are lucky enough to have what SS need for their insight.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] flobie:
I got selected T-mobile S8+ imgur.com/a/N1ekz
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] sapps:
I got an email from insights telling me to create a Samsung Account. Does anyone know if this is a requirement of the program? I already have a different Samsung Account with a different email address than the insights program.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cheetablaze:
Same email here, already had an account setup... So maybe a friendly reminder because it's definitely not a requirement to set one up.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] saiiyk:
I got selected s8+
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] thelongmile:
When did you receive the selection notice?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] saiiyk:
Monday. Got the phone yesterday.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] dankbud42o:
Screw it, I went and bought an S8. Couldnt take my LG G4 anymore!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] shaoyent:
Does anyone know if they give out unlocked phones or from carriers other than the 5 currently available?

I'm afraid I screwed up my chances by giving Cricket as my carrier even though I also have AT&T....
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cheetablaze:
I always put ATT even though I use Straight Talk. Stick to the one of the big four for carriers for your answer in the future.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] bestlands:
My parents got an s8plus and im thinking its probably because they put down att as their carrier and as more people are going to t mobile, the insights program probably had more att phones. I have t mobile and probably screwed my chance up as they emailed me and said they don't have any t mobile units anymore, but if i got the att unit i could have just got it unlocked and flashed the t mobile varient, if anybody here on xda figures out how to do that. Thoughts?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cheetablaze:
I thought using an ATT phone with T-Mobile meant you can't access the 3g/4g or higher bands?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] michaelgcarro:
Verizon phones are generally unlocked out of the box so technically you could have received one of those and used it on T-Mobile or another carrier. However, it's best to keep it fair and request your actual carrier.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] QwershiFTW:
Did they stop sending out responses? I don't know why, but I feel like t-mobile just really isn't the best carrier for this thing unlike ATT. I saw way too many selections of ATT lol. Oh well...
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] tobago_88:
Did anyone who got selected for the Note 7 program but didn't get the phone due to the recall get selected? I was a finalist for the Note 7 and I didn't get a phone last time and I didn't get an invite this time around. Do you guys think they are saving us for the Note 8?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] novabulova:
I was selected for a note 7 and I did the survey this time but I have not been selected as of yet.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] lagurl:
Has anyone who has been with the program for years get chosen again?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] ztw2002:
same here, and I selected T-Mobile for both but no luck so far. I guess I will pick AT&T for my next survey :laugh::laugh:
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] tobago_88:
hmm I didn't even get a survey this time lol. Two options:

1. I was either removed from their list

2. They are saving me for the Note 8 study
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] novabulova:
I don't think that will do you any good. I'm AT&T ?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] bestlands:
Yea your probably right, I should have considered that option as it would have been better for me, and more chances of getting it.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] scorpio_bpl86:
Hello All ,

Samsung didn't chose me this time for the S8 insights but i went ahead and bought a case which now i have no use of . ( i took it out of the cover )

I would like to give it to someone here ( of course who has a S8 plus ) since this group has helped me a lot ( till now i have got 3 phones )

I will send the case free of charge to who ever replies to my post first .

just my way of thanking you all :)

Have a good day

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Saketh123:
I would love to have it :)
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] scorpio_bpl86:
Please DM your address

Thank you
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cheetablaze:
Yes me!!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] spatadia14:
It doesn't seem like they sent out a lot for Sprint either (Of course we don't have full numbers) but it seems a lot less compared to other carriers such as AT&T and T-Mobile. We'll see if they have another round or not I guess.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] bestlands:
Hey hopefully they do because I cannot live with another OnePlus 2 device might go get or lease a S8+ for a couple months.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] scorpio_bpl86:
still waiting on your DM
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] bestlands:
I just got my S8+, I dont want to sound mean and rude but if he doesn't reply for a while, would you mind sharing it with me. I still have my S8+ in the wrapping because im to scared to get it scratched and carry it anywhere.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] ragsy1083:
If that falls through (no pun intended), I recommend the OtterBox defender. Got mine the day after I got the phone and love it. Not as bulky/more form fitting than previous Defenders but no screen protector which I'm okay with.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] DirtyRich:
So, I just found out about Insights.

Is there any way for me to get into the program, now or in the future, or is it closed up?

Thanks.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] scorpio_bpl86:
Sure , dm your address
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] ragsy1083:
Just out of curiosity, has anyone wanted to drop out of the program before the time period was up? Maybe switch back and forth between the phones? I'm sure there have been some iPhone users who wanted to go back to the Apple fold after a while.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] pappy53:
I have switched my sim card between this phone and my iPhone 6S for 6 months with no issues.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] spatadia14:
Any new info?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] pappy53:
I have a gold AT&T S7 Edge that I can deactivate on May 23rd, and would like to trade it for a regular AT&T S7 if anyone is interested. It must be in mint condition, as mine is. Also has 256GB SD card, clear TPU case, and a Seidio Surface case with holster. I also have received the unlock code from AT&T.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] pappy53:
My trial ends today, and I sent an email requesting deactivation. How long does it take to hear from them, and what will they send?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] pre4speed:
How did you request deactivation? If you just sent a random email, expect to wait weeks. If you used the Insights app to request it, that is usually 3-7 days because it includes the IMEI of the phone.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] pappy53:
I sent it from the app.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] pappy53:
Got my email today, and I am deactivated!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] yarnsrj:
Chetablaze, did you have to leave the Samsung Device Insights app activated on your phone to get other surveys and phones, or once deactivated, did you request others surveys?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cheetablaze:
I actually received a new survey for a S7 while the Insights app was installed on my S6. This may have been a fluke because I believe the Insights app needs to be deactivated before you are eligible for a new survey.

I had to email Samsung Insights to remind them about the agreement we made late last year. They sent me a survey one day before the due date. Others here can probably add a few lines of wisdom as well.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] HardSer:
Try or not to try?

Hello!

I would like to try to get a free phone using this program, but I live in Ukraine.

Is Samsung Insights an US-only offer?

Thanks!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] flobie:
yes U.S only
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cheetablaze:
Yep US only that we know of! It's been a month and 2 days so far since I've owned this S8 and overall I'm still really happy. I held the Otterbox Commuter in my hands today and I may upgrade to that thick beast of a case. Reddit has been quiet about the Insights crew sending more free units out. Let's hope they get more in Stock soon!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] flobie:
Any one know if your allowed to use a different launcher with device insights?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] pappy53:
Use the launcher of your choice.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cheetablaze:
Finally received my first survey of the S8. So that means the Insights Program still exists lol.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] sapps:
I thought you already got in the program for the s8??
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cheetablaze:
Err I mean like a customer satisfaction survey. The good and the bad stuff about this phone.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] sapps:
Ahh, I see. I got mine the other day as well. You would have thought they would have waited until after they released Bixby voice. I hated telling them that I use Google Assistant. :)
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] pappy53:
They pretty much guaranteed me that I would be in the next program when my S7 Edge period expired. It expired May 22nd, and I have heard nothing from them, despite several emails sent to them. I guess they aren't good for their word. :(
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Blackiedamus:
My thought is they won't send anything out until the Note 8. I believe they're full on participants for the s8 and s8+ study. I just deactivated my s7 I got last week.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] pappy53:
Just received this from Insights: "We will send a survey when the next study is available."
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] pappy53:
Samsung is launching the Note 8 on August 20th, according to sources. Maybe that study will open up (fingers crossed).
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cheetablaze:
I'd switch over to the note 8 if it was flat to get away from this curved screen. It's just gimmicky and serves no purpose other than looking cool. It does also explode on impact it seems... Easy way for Samsung to make $$$$.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] exhibit_II_user:
[MENTION=4997760]Joehen873[/MENTION], do you have any info on the status of the Insights program? Will there be any more surveys for the S8/S8+?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Joehen873:
Theres another 1 yes. You gotta find out when people got the first round because i was told 3 rounds every 3 months
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] exhibit_II_user:
So, it looks like the last round was at the end of April, so...that would potentially mean July? Fingers are crossed! Thanks for the update, Joehen :)
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] DeathlessOne:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but at this point wouldn't they be getting ready for the Note 8 program? I don't know if they'd be still looking for S8 users at this point!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] pre4speed:
Depends. I was given the S6 just as the S7 was released.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] DeathlessOne:
Ah, I see.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] WentzPhilly:
Hi Fellow Insights members,

I am currently on my second phone from the program, Note 5. My wife is in the program as well with an S5. We both still have the app installed and have well exceeded the 6+ month requirement. (I though having the app installed beyond the terms increased your chances for future invites, I could be wrong?)

I have not received any surveys lately. The wife received the Note 7 survey then the whole fiasco happened and nothing since.

We were thinking of opting in to the current Samsung.com trade in deal. I could basically trade in my Note 5 and pay $725 for two Galaxy S8s.

I emailed the Samsung Insights team letting them know that we were interested in getting new phones which would remove us both from the program and if it was okay with them. It's been two days, no reply yet.

Anyone know how long it takes for them to respond?

We both want to remain in the program, but will eventually need new phones. This deal seems pretty sweet.

Thoughts?????
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] sapps:
It could take them some time to respond. Usually a few days to a week.

You can do whatever you want with the device after the contract period, so there is no reason you couldn't use it for their current deal.

I would send them another email specifically asking for the Insights unlock code. Include your IMEI number in the email. Once the app is removed the device is yours to do with as you please.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] scorpio_bpl86:
write a separate email just for the unlock code \

they respond usually in 3-4 days

make sure to have the IMEI number of the phones
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] killerz298:
Anyone get any notifications recently? Note 8 supposedly being released in September. Hope I can get in that one.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Blackiedamus:
I've emailed them a couple of times in the last 6 weeks with no response. They did send an unlock code at the end of my 6 months but that was it.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] diggitydogg:
I got an email saying there was more stock and asking if I was still interested. They gave a choice as to which phone I wanted. I replied back for a S8+ and am waiting for the next step. There is a thread on Slickdeals with a few people that got this same message.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] stayley:
If you have participated in the insights program before, do you need to email Samsung again or are you "in it" for permanently?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] pappy53:
I would like an S8+, but would REALLY like a Note 8.:)
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] sapps:
I'd so love to get into the note 8 study. :)

Pick me...pick me...
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Klown80:
Check your email if you haven't already. I got instructions and a code for ordering a GS8 off of samsung.com yesterday evening after getting the same email you did last week. Good luck!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] diggitydogg:
Informed the wife. She is the one who got it and there it was! Thanks for the heads up. :good:
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] emkay5775:
How do I join the insights program? I can't seem to find the application anywhere.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Blackiedamus:
You have to be invited by them. Email address is floating around somewhere in the thread, send it to that and express interest. If they are accepting new applicants, they will respond back.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] michaelgcarro:
The Note 8 was announced yesterday. If previous trends continue, we should be getting surveys for the Note 8 within a couple weeks. Good luck to everyone. Let's get the conversation going!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] yarnsrj:
Quick question, where in the app do you request deactivation? I'm post 6 months. I did not see it in app.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Blackiedamus:
I believe it's the bottom option. It's mildly hidden.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] sapps:
Or just send them an email and give them the devices IMEI number. They'll email you the code back.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] yarnsrj:
LOL, I thought bottom option called them directly. Didn't think to click on it before. Thx
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] sosquidtaste:
Yeah man. Just for funsies, looks like Galaxy S8 was announced on March 29 this year. I received my S8/S8+ survey on April 14 (I didn't get picked ;( hahah), one week ahead of the official street date of April 21. I hope it's a similar timeline around the Note 8 street date of September 15.

And yes also: good luck to all this round :]
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] joshua14:
I've been on s6 edge plus forever now so I'm hoping surveys are going out for note 8.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cheetablaze:
Good old insights sent me a survey to discuss the Bixby function on the S8. I marked that thing as low as humanly possible. I just want an option to completely take it off the phone. Such a waste and even a bigger waste if time if I accidentally press the button.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] michaelgcarro:
My friend on the S8 study got that survey as well. He told them he used a chisel and hammer to remove the Bixby bloatware button from his device. Hopefully they got the message!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] jellybear456:
Chances of getting a survey for the Note 8 if my S7 Edge period just ended in July?! I was sure to suck up to them in my deactivation email....hopefully it works
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cheetablaze:
Received another survey from Insights saying, "We’d like to extend an invitation for your family or friends to Samsung Device Insights Program. You have been a good participant and we want to reward your efforts by allowing you to refer 3 other people to the program. Please note that your referral will receive a separate survey when the next study is available."

Looks like emailing them directly is no longer a good option??
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] sapps:
Me too. Well I should say my wife did.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] DroidRC1:
If you have any more refers to give I'll love to get one. Thanks!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] pre4speed:
Yeah I got that after my participation in the S6 study. None of my referrals have received anything, not the N7 or the S8 survey. Neither have I for that matter. Emailed numerous times, nothing
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] sapps:
That's so frustrating. I can understand not being guaranteed a selection for the device, but they should be guaranteed a survey.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cheetablaze:
Survey just dropped for the Note 8! Gotta turn it in by the 14th!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] scorpio_bpl86:
just got my note 8 survey :D
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cheetablaze:
Wow all three of my people I just referred got a survey!!!!

**Edit**

Wait... LOL I got the survey! I'm already on the S8 program, I don't think I can dual wield 2 different cell phones.... Or can I??? Jedi phone master!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] lagurl:
Been with them for years and referred ppl. Still nothing
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] joshua14:
I just got a Note 8 survey & completed it. I put "previous participant" on the referral name space since I've had both an s5 & now the s6 edge plus I'm using.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] 1Zero3forlife:
I got a survey today for a Note 8, fingers crossed.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] WentzPhilly:
I got a survey too.... BUT!!!!!!!!!!!

I got excited and answered it right away on my desktop. I went back and noticed that one of the requirements was to take the survey on your SMARTPHONE.

Do you think this would be a disqualification? How could they tell what device you took the survey on? Should I email them letting them know?

"The program requirements are :

Take the survey using the link below with your current smartphone (not your laptop/desktop n or tablet)

If you are selected for the program, you will receive a welcome email from samsunginsights@sea.samsung.com

Install and activate the Samsung Device Insights App as soon as you receive the device (instruction and activation code will be provided separate ly )

Use the d evice as your primary phone for 12 months

Occasional ly, take surveys related to your phone experience"
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] joshua14:
IDK, it probably isn't good if they can tell. I was on my phone already so I just completed it quick.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] FiendFyre:
I also just got the Note 8 survey, so excited, I hope I get in! Good luck to everyone else also!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] scorpio_bpl86:
all my previous referral also got the survey and one of them out of excitement went ahead and completed the survey on his desktop -_-

anyway fingers crossed :)
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] 1Zero3forlife:
What stinks is my wife got in the Note 7 survey and they cancelled the phone's going out obviously. They promised her to get in the next 2 surveys and nothing. She wants the Note 8 if I get selected, I told her heck no, she can have my Pixel.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] litoturtle:
Any one have a referral they can give? Would love to join...TIA
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] sapps:
Yeah. I completed my survey quick on my phone as well. However, I wanted to fill it out on my wife's phone (s5) not my phone (s8+). I feel like the chances that I get picked coming from the s8+ is going to be much less than coming from the s5.

I can't remember which I put for my current device on this survey.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] joshua14:
I am on att but was considering switching to mint. Got my daughter a 3 month plan on my old unlocked s5 & it works great.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] pre4speed:
Yup I'm in same boat. Haven't received any survey for what, 2 years now. Last one was the S6. Prolly messed up my chances with it since I didn't use it as my daily driver, but even my referrals haven't received anything. Actually, I think I got the tablet survey but since didn't have Samsung smart TV, I didn't get it.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] bestlands:
Then you would have to put yourself on t mobile, I was able to get the att phone unlocked in may but don't know if they will let you do it now.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Bubba:
? Me too. Had the S5. Didn't have a smart enough tv. Nothing after that.

Cowboy from Hell on a twisted trail.

Koffed From my Big Ass Outlaw Phone.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] litoturtle:
Anyone with a extra referral they can share this time around?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] power_book:
They can tell by user agent code in your web browser.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] gpister:
Anyone got a referral they can share much appreciated as well :)
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] bestlands:
What about if I converted with root my phone model number to a SM_N910T which is a Note 4. Will they be able to track me somehow.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] yarnsrj:
Survey here also. Good luck to us all. Next week or 2 I'm gonna be constantly checking my email, LOL
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Blackiedamus:
Looks like I didn't make the cut. Very much a shame because I wanted a redo of the Note. I split my time between the s7 and the pixel I had gotten previously. Maybe I didn't use it enough. I did get 2 or 3 surveys during my time with the phone... Better luck next time.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] jellybear456:
Just got my email for a Note 8 this morning. Fingers crossed and good luck to everyone that got one!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] power_book:
User agent string is nothing to do with your phone model.

It is in your web browser. I did the survery once with desktop browser with user agent set to iOS and iphone 6 but I didn't get the phone.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] exhibit_II_user:
[MENTION=3674164]jellybear456[/MENTION] Congrats! Do you mean you got a Note 8 survey, or got chosen to get a Note 8 based on the survey you filled out?
