[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] DeathlessOne:
I do want to know this too. I was referred to this program, got the initial survey, completed it about 50% and stopped finishing it when I decided that I wouldn't be going for it. So, I'm not sure if I'm still in their system or I'd need another referral next time.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cheetablaze:
I'll give this answer a best shot. If you are not selected for this round I believe you have to be referred again to get another survey. Back in the day once you were in the system, you stayed in the system. It was just up to Samsung Insights rng to pick your email for the next survey. I have also seen people just email the Insights team directly and they were added onto the next survey. My answer is, be proactive about wanting another survey. The Insights team send out surveys every 3 or 4 months and also depending what their needs are and what they are authorized to give away. It wouldn't hurt to also subscribe to this thread and all new messages get pushed to you via email. Then just have all of these emails go into a specific folder on your email account.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] dorothye513:
Since you have their email. I would suggest a couple weeks before S10/+ or Note 10 release or right when Samsung Unpacks publicly to email them and say you're interested or you would love to participate but do it in an inquiring way. I've been in the program year after year and this year, but only for the Note's. I was a part of the Note 8 group this year which ends in September and emailed them about participating in the Note 9 program. I got both surveys. Just a suggestion, wouldn't hurt.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] MMakoto:
thanks for the input.

i first learned about this program last year during the s8/+ launch, i emailed them asking to be in the program, and i got the survey, but was not selected. up until recently that i stumble upon this thread again, i emailed them again to be a part of the program, and i got the survey as well. so i guess like you guys have said, we need to be proactive and email them every time.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] DeathlessOne:
It has worked out a bit differently for me. I emailed them requesting to be a part of the S8/S8+ program, got the survey and did it, but didn't get selected. Emailed them for the Note 8, but never got in. Emailed them multiple times for the S9, didn't work as well. I figured that the program must have changed to invitation/referral only and this time, one of the kind members from this thread referred me and I got the survey.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] mike.o84:
I knew nothing of this deal when they randomly reached out to me about a Tab S2 study. Thought it was a scam and found this thread. Had a survey about the note 7 before it went South and never really heard from them except little random non-specific surveys that most others received until this Note 9 survey. Got the first one and the clarification survey...
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] SeanK_:
Emails going out?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] dorothye513:
havent seen anything yet
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Sammyfan89:
Nothing here.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] SeanK_:
Look like someone people got emails over by Reddit.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Joehen873:
They haven't sent them out yet
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] power_book:
Last time for Note 8, I got it around 3pm, PST.

AT&T version is available in week of Sep 23.

Unlocked version ships in 7-10 business days.

T-mobile one ships on Aug 28.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] v3n0msn4k3:
I think they have reserves for the program.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Joehen873:
Samsung gives the insights program a certain amount of phones for the program
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] MMakoto:
I have selected the T-Mobile version as first choice on the survey, does that mean they'll send the code for that or need to get the unlocked one?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Joehen873:
More than likely you will get Tmobile phone
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] v3n0msn4k3:
I'm now assuming emails wont be sent out today. Gonna stop checking after I'm off work in an hour
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Zoey2014:
I got a request to join without emailing to ask, Samsung sent it out of the blue. I'm guessing from when I registered my S5 I bought at Thanksgiving. I've been a Samsung customer for a lot of years and have registered many phones.

I'm still waiting on my answer to know if I was accepted. They sent me the invite on Jan 13th, I did the survey on the 14th and they said it would be a Note 3 and with AT&T.

I prefer the Note 3, I have had one before and now have the S5. I'm really wanting to go back to 3G of RAM. Even the 2G of RAM on the S5 isn't as efficient as the 2G on the Note 2.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Ramhardy:
no t-mobile folks?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] xfaega:
Which carrier are you on? Seems like all AT&T users are getting the S5.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Zoey2014:
I'm AT&T and they told me I would be receiving the Note 3.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Ramhardy:
It's been 11 days for me and still no yes or no, I think they got more request for t-mobile and less supply or something
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Zoey2014:
The email says:

"The review process takes a few weeks due to limited inventory and high participation response."

So it can be a couple of months or so.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Ramhardy:
yet people are getting emails next day etc, i think its carrier related
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Zoey2014:
I'm AT&T and haven't gotten another email yet.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] babygirl0419:
Verizon
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Ramhardy:
I'm on t-mobile
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] MicrosoftBug:
Damn! That really is a shame. I already rooted mine and installed a custom ROM. Do you think a combination of xposed/root cloak might work?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Zoey2014:
I would unroot. I've talked to Samsung about this program and as long as you have the app on your phone, you are in the program and can get invited to use another phone.

To me it is worth not rooting to get the free phone and possibly more free phones.

---------- Post added at 02:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:18 PM ----------

The answer from Samsung concerning being able to choose 3, 6, 12 or 18 months. They said choose the minimum you are willing to participate and 6 monthania the minimum they require.

"The terms and conditions are in question #18. Unfortunately once you have answered (accepted or declined) that question, you cannot go back. We will provide the agreement information once you have been approved and we send the formal invitation. All participants have the option to remain in the program as long as they wish, but the minimum requirements are 6 months. Only active participants will be offered upgrades or other device testing after the 6 months have been completed if they complied with all the terms and conditions during the program terms.

Thank you,

The Samsung Mobile Insights Team

Samsung Electronics America, Inc."
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] pre4speed:
Not sure. I just went ahead and unrooted. Better to be safe than sorry.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Default001:
If anyone could set me up with your name for a referral, I would be most stoked. :good::good::good:
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] K-alz:
Just root it and flash the ROM of your choice before installing the samsung insights app. After done setting up the whole thing to your liking install their app and you'll be good. That's what I did with both of the phones I got from them and I haven't received any email from them but the one that stated that I was being rewarded a galaxy gear two for being a great member. [emoji23]

Just make sure you flash one stable rom and let it be until the end of the six months. Even though I don't think they'd ever notice if you just follow what I told you, but just to be safe. Also for more safety use the root cloak module.

from my Allianced N3.

Remember! if your Alliance manager FCs, just delete the "Alliance" folder in your SDcard then re-open the Alliance manager app.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Ramhardy:
still no t-mobile squad in here?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] mopo01:
Just got my response asking for referral.. Anyone able to help please pm me
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] pre4speed:
So you think since I already installed the app I shouldn't root and ROM?

Maybe you can pm him/her and get more info?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] K-alz:
Uninstall the app then root and then flash your ROM and finish up everything and then put that app on. That's all. I never deactivated the app or even worried about it. As long as you install it after everything is settled you're fine.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] pre4speed:
I can do that, but how how do I unusual the app without root? The uninstall button is grayed out. Btw, thanks. You seem to help me quite a lot. Lol
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Joehen873:
So just a heads up guys i got my Note 8 on September 21st and it was released on September 15th 2017 so the Note 9 was today so we might be a few more days. I know the insights people work on Saturdays from times i talked to them in the past. Dont lose hope guys like the note 8 was insights program was 6 days from the release and the Note 9 was just released today so.......
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] dorothye513:
True. I'm just hoping that current promo is still running
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] power_book:
Now that you have to pay 50% of the cost and one year of usage analytics, at least they have to allow participant to get early/equal access to the phone.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Joehen873:
Theres no way they sent out emails with the code and the welcome letter and not 1 person is on here saying they got , no possible way
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] dorothye513:
did you see any place people are saying they have received it?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Joehen873:
Someone a page or 2 back said that somebody posted on Reddit that they got it but I highly highly doubt it ,i think they were talking about the clarification email
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] SeanK_:
I never said they did. I said it looked like it.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] pappy53:
*crickets*...... Till emails start coming?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] pre4speed:
Right?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cheetablaze:
yup, super quiet
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] yarnsrj:
LOL, I was gonna say the same thing [emoji3]
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] jellybear456:
This is how it always is! Then once emails come out there is chatter about freebies and shipping and first reactions with the phone. Then crickets again until another round
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Sammyfan89:
Question to everyone: how did you learn about the Samsung Device Insights program?

I received an invite after completing the Galaxy Ultimate Test Drive a few years back.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] yarnsrj:
I found out about insights thru XDA a few years ago. They are my go-to sites for all my devices and all things Root.

When I purchase a new device, I join their forums and one day about 4 years ago, I just happen to see a post for the Insights forum. I've been following it every since. A kind member referred me and I've been in the program for 2 devices.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cpharada:
Me too
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] diggitydogg:
Ultimate Test Drive here as well. Couldn't pass up that for $1!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Entew:
I found insights on the RingPlus forum when someone posted a question about activating their insights device on Ringplus.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] YouLogic:
I was invited by Samsung through email about 4 years ago I think.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] dorothye513:
I always registered my devices with them and back then they had different member levels in which I was a platinum member. It just so happened I received an email from them to join the program.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] t8xan:
Does anyone know if we can combine the upgraded $99 offer with insights, and we pay the or does it have to be the free one? Has anyone ever been able to buy the upgraded promo?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] scorpio_bpl86:
what promo ?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] mike.o84:
The promo on Samsung's website. There are two options. One has a free dual wireless charger and case and the other is the same with iconx earbuds, which they are charging $99 for.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] t8xan:
The duo charger+IconX promo they're offering now, instead of the headphone or fortnite stuff they were offering with the pre-order.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cheetablaze:
Yeah if Samsung is offering something free with the purchase of the Note 9 and you want the whole package for $99, go for it. Insights only cares that you bought the phone and they can leach information off of you for a year.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cpharada:
We should be able to take advantage of either promos offered, duo charger and choice of cover or the two and icon x earbuds for add'l $99.

The email stated you would be eligible for any current promotion running at time of order.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] t8xan:
Thanks, I wasn't sure, but since it's not free this time if I get accepted I might as well. In for a penny, in for a pound.

---------- Post added at 02:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:47 PM ----------

Well, that's not true. I just want to try the IconX buds, and duo charger.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] pappy53:
I'm thinking that emails will come today or tomorrow. As far as I'm concerned, they can stick them.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] KryogenikX:
I'm loosing interest waiting lol, I have the Note 9 in my desk at work and I can't even use waiting to see if I get selected for the program.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] dorothye513:
lol. I feel you. I really want in now, so I don't have to go thru the carrier and miss out on the current freebies. I think only if you buy from samsung are the current offer valid. But not sure
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cheetablaze:
There will always be more surveys handed out in the future. If your gut says not to go with it, just wait it out and see what the future has in store for us. I broke out the Note 4, charged it up, and messed around with the stylus. Would rather just go with the S9+ if I could.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] scorpio_bpl86:
If anyone is buying the phone in full ( 50% off ) or directly through the samsung then just a heads up you may be eligible for points and miles earning

1) chase portal - earn 2 points per dollar on samsung when navigating through the portal

2) american airlines advantage portal - earn 2 miles per dollar on samsung

3) United - United is running a 100 k miles sweepstakes ( https://x.shopping.mileageplus.com/sweeps____.htm?promoname=uaSept2018sweeps)

you can log in and purchase through samsung to get 50 entries on anything $50 or more ( twice per day ) so 100 entries . Also you will earn 2 miles per dollar

did you order ?

did you get the dual wireless charger or dex ?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] phishfleck:
Mind giving us some details? Were you in the Note 8 study? Did you get both the initial survey and the clarification survey? What carrier are you?

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] zdrucker:
What do you mean you were told they would be spread out? The rest of the welcome emails?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] phishfleck:
I got an email. On AT&T, and not part of the Note 8 study.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] YouLogic:
So everyone that received the welcome email do far, are you with AT&T? It's looking like maybe they are going in order by carrier maybe.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Klown80:
I just got the note 9 welcome email! I'm on att
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] scorpio_bpl86:
seems everyone on ATT got the email

oh well , I hope they have some left for the unlocked version
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] diggitydogg:
Mine was att also
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] v3n0msn4k3:
Was all your first choices ATT?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] pappy53:
Just got mine. I'm with AT&T.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Sammyfan89:
Congrats to all who received their welcome emails today!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] twstd4lfe:
anyone switch from att to unlocked - did the code work? Shipping date for the at&t model is long haha
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] theshopach:
Anyone else get the welcome email but still thinking about declining?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cheetablaze:
Probably a ton of people lol, sadly they can't give it to anyone though. Samsung would want their money back.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] YouLogic:
I hope they are not going in Alphabetical order because I'm TMobile ??
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] pappy53:
:( Credit app denied. That sucks.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cheetablaze:
Just for giggles can somebody try and trade-in a cellphone and apply the 50% discount?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] scorpio_bpl86:
lol :D
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Sammyfan89:
I'd probably be in the same boat...
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cheetablaze:
I'm doing that, if it doesn't work on the website i'm going to call them directly and try and weasel it.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] pappy53:
I had a run of heart issues that crushed my credit rating. Now I can send Samsung an ugly email stating my dissatisfaction with this year's program.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] twstd4lfe:
its $550 - if you were a part of any other program with insights you can sell your phone privately - S8 still goes for $300-$400 used I know its not free but come on
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] YouLogic:
What happens if you choose no credit check? I saw that as an option when I looked at the site.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] zdrucker:
I chose Unlocked and then Verizon as my second choice... fingers crossed!:D
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] pappy53:
Has always been free, until now. $500, AND locked in for a year? Yeah, C'mon....

---------- Post added at 01:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:58 PM ----------

I didn't see that option.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] YouLogic:
Hmmm, I saw it when I was on the Samsung site when looking at the Note 9 iirc. I'll go see if I can find it.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] mike.o84:
Got my welcome email at 12:20 central time. I chose unlocked, but the email states approved for Sprint note 9.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] twstd4lfe:
Right its always been free and a perk for many of us over the years - times are changing and while I`m personally not happy with having to pay $550 for a phone compared to free its still the best deal out there.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] zdrucker:
Did you choose Sprint as your second option?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] mike.o84:
There wasn't a Sprint option. I think it was carrier unlocked or unlocked (seemed weird). But I did put I was using sprints network...
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] pappy53:
Actually, not the best deal out there. T-Mobile has JOD. AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint have similar programs which at least allow you to pay off early, and not be locked in for a year.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] ealarcon:
Husband is in ATT and he received it. He was hoping not to because he just got a S8 replacement. His was not working right and he is not patient so he replaced it yesterday thinking he would not get it. I'm in Sprint and i haven't received anything :(
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] zdrucker:
Could it be that the Sprint variant is the closest to "unlocked"? So people who chose the unlocked variant as their first choice are receiving it as a Sprint model... just a thought.

Looks like if I get an email now it will be for my second choice, Verizon. I wouldn't be upset with that actually, as I'd like the ability to use Wifi Calling anyway... just really wanted the black model - if it was even available as unlocked anyway. :(
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] yarnsrj:
Any acceptances from Verizon yet? Locked or unlocked?

Also for you Note 8 folks, remember I emailed them and posted a screenshot in which Samsung said they would send us the deactivation code for Note 8 study if we were selected for Note 9.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] zdrucker:
Nothing on my end... unlocked was first choice and Verizon was second.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] SeanK_:
I haven't seen anything yet and I picked unlocked and second choice Sprint.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] maracuya:
Maybe the order they're going by age of participant
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cpharada:
Mine too, AT&T.

Likely due to my credit score is locked down due to Equifax issue. I don't have any credit bills.

Well, I sent them an email saying if I can't get credit, then I can't be part of the program this year....
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] v3n0msn4k3:
ATT fellas, so we wont get the phone till october since its back ordered?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] twstd4lfe:
All of those are not the same as Samsung lets you keep the device for $500 and the program asks you to use the phone for a year but you can change networks. I did it last year and jumped from Verizon to Sprint and they had no problem with that. I just paid $526 - i`ll sell my GS8 for $350 and maybe i`ll get $75 for the Duo charger and got a free case. So still a deal since i`m only out of pocket $101 dollars - thats better than any carrier deal out there. Thanks Samsung
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] dorothye513:
I feel the same. I can just sell my Note 8 to offset cost. I'm with Tmobile second choice or unlocked first choice, still nothing yet

So I guess they don't have phones set aside for the Insights program? Looks like we won't get our phone till the end of September, or later depending on when we get the welcome email. I wonder why they wouldn't have set aside some devices for us...
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] v3n0msn4k3:
Right? I was hoping we wouldn't be backordered
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] zdrucker:

Maybe another round will be sent out today around 6 EST, if not then probably tomorrow... and the next day... and the next day until everything is sent out. Be patient and good luck on the wait!

I put ATT and Unlocked... so i'm waiting with everybody else out there :(
