already pre ordered,and already got told its on back order lol
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] effortless:
Backorder means they don't have it yet in stock... Their traditional wording for pre-orders. There will be plenty for everyone on release date, don't worry.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] kllm-jack:
i know im waiting on a htc one m8 thats on back order right now

There's a $200 Samy trade in promo.

Does anyone know anything about that? How does it work?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] LaRosa217:
Nice to see everyone getting their pre-orders in. Unfortunately T-Mobile's site wants to keep giving me all kinds of issues when trying to use my JUMP upgrade with this pre-order. Might just have to call or stop by my local store later today to put it on pre-order.

Does anyone know when accessories like the wireless charging cover are supposed to be available for the Note 4?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] effortless:
Samsung Promo terms and mail-in-rebate are now updated!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] aznmode:
I think to get the max $200 trade in you have to trade in a note 3 or newer device. Might be worth selling my note 3 instead. But I'm still torn if u want the note 4.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] mscion:
I stopped by my local Tmobile store in Gaithersburg MD and they had a Note 4 demo model there. I was at the end of my lunch break so I didn't have much time to look at it but It is pretty much as advertised with a better resolution and brighter screen. I did a quick comparison with camera and the photo I took with it looked a bit sharper than the equivalent I took with my Note 3. Also they have redone the multiview a bit. It you tap the app in the side bar it opens as a floating window. Very smooth in transitions. Some gesture I did (maybe a swipe from left edge or close) opened flipboard. Although both are advertised as 5.7" is seems like the Note 4 was slightly less wide. It does look good but I'm still on the fence about getting it. I did ask about the trade in and here are the numbers they gave me +- a dollar. I also add what Samsung will add to that although the dealer did not know about the Samsung offer.

model...Tmobile will give + Samsung's contribution= Total

OGN $86 +$114 = $200

GN2 $87 + $113 = $200

GN3 $275 + $0 = $275

I also saw the iphone 6 plus there and I think it actually looks nicer than Note 4 as it has, at least to me, an attractive art deco look to it. It is also quite smooth operating it but I would never buy it for myself. Why? No spen, floating resizable windows or multiview, fedora linux installed, xposed modules, custom roms and other XDA fun to name a few things I would miss if I got it.

Nexus 5 is not in the trade- in list? - Delivery ETA

I looked up the trade ins on TMobile website and was suprised that they dont accept Nexus 5. I input the imei number and the website said "you cannot trade in this phone". Is this a web only thing? Anybody has any clue? It has a lot of other phones on the list.

I did preorder 2 note 4 phones and this was the response on the preorder reciept

Order Date: 09/24/2014 at 9:30:30 AM

Your order's estimated delivery date: 9/30/2014.

And this was for the second phone

Order Date: 09/24/2014 at 9:33:30 AM

Your order's estimated delivery date: 10/2/2014.

I know that the phones would be out only on or around Oct. 17. So what do these dates mean?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] hurrpancakes:
To take advantage of the Samsung promo, all you have to do is trade in a working phone worth $10 or more when you preorder a Note 4, send Samsung a copy of preorder and trade in info, and they'll mail you whatever the difference is between your phones trade in value and $200.

Example: Bring in a Galaxy S, get $15 trade in value. Use Samsung promo, and get a $185 check in the mail.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] gpchess2k:
Got mine! Pending Shipping 09/24/2014

Guessing its not a final shipment date? =D
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] rcobourn:
What makes you think that? I don't see anything in the terms about what phone you trade in, except that it must be worth $10 minimum, and you get back the difference between your trade-in value and $200, so a maximum of $190. If I read correctly, I should get $13 from T-Mobile and $187 from Samsung. Sweet deal if it works out.

Lucky for me I still had a working G2x around. Doubly lucky recently regarding phones; offered to take my wife in to T-Mobile to do a Jump upgrade on her iPhone 5, and she declined because she doesn't think the 6 or 6+ will fit in the little phone pocket in her purse. :D

---------- Post added at 02:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:38 PM ----------

Well you can't argue it isn't Pending. It will probably stay Pending for about 3 weeks. :)

The CSR in business side support confirmed they show 10/17 in the system.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] aznmode:
Thanks for clarification. It also doesn't say it has to be a Samsung phone. I have an old sprint Evo 3d. I wonder if that qualifies.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] edouble312:
Just an FYI... because I'm buying the t-mo note 3 to unlock & use on at&t, I was unable to do the trade in promo. Apparently you need to use their service for multiple months for a trade in to be accepted, which would offset the savings because 3 months service is around $140. Bummed about that. Because the salesman took over an hour to straighten this out, they waived the $60 activation cost. I had a $70 Sammy from a pawn shop that would have fetched me about $130 net savings, but oh well.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] GatoL0c0:
What's will all the weird ship dates? I saw two others today from XDA, one guy's ship date was 10-03-14 and another was 09-25-14 and I'm sure mine said 10-17-14. I ordered mine around 9:20am.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] hurrpancakes:
Yep, any working phone that is worth at least $10
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] skillady:
I think the Samsung promo page specifically says"Smartphones". And the phones should be valued at least $10 by the retailer. As i said above, my nexus 5 is not on the list from T-Mobile hence, its price would be zero, which will not be eligible for a Samsung promotion.

I don't want to trade my Note 3 and would like to maintain it as a backup, hence i looked up the nexus 5. My other option is an old ATT Galaxy S3 (which is actually in their list) for which t mobile puts a price of $ 60.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] dman5959:
What are the chances local stores will run out of Note 4s on the release date?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] aooga:
Not very high.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] LenLogic:
I would not think that would be very likely, but you never know. When the HTC Sensation came out, I bought the last one they had at lunch on launch day. When the S5 came out, they had plenty on launch.But the Note 4 is highly anticipated. Get there early just incase ;)
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] demize!:
Preordered with existing family plan + $20 unlimited data/text/talk/VM. Really stoked havent been around here in a while still on a very tattered SIII. Doing the Tmo trade in they say $69.00, and Samsung will send a check for $131.00 apperently so things are looking good. Cant wait to see whats in store in development and accessories never rooted my last handset due to having a Mac and various other issues Bootcamp etc..

---------- Post added at 03:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:49 PM ----------

No whatever device you trade must get a $10 minimum trade in value , show Sammy the proof and the preorder info by the set date and they will mail a check for the difference.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] JDogg5281:
In my local t mobile store the rep told me that my note 4 should be delivered on the 16th or 17th. He said he was pretty confident of that. He made it sound like they would be shipping out on Wednesday....(Next Wednesday).
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] BrownDog99:
Very nice. T mobile is the best phones to buy, only one with unlocked bootloader for many phones
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] axe720:
I pre ordered mine on the 30th of September. Now it shows backordered. Really hope I get mine on time.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] m3lover1:
Anyone who preordered online know how to get receipt or proof of preodering so you can send it in to Samsung for the promo?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] LenLogic:
If I understand right, when your order ships, you will receive an email containg your tracking number and receipt.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] p()()pypants:
You can get tracking numbers and notifications ahead of time and when they print labels before even ships. The definitive notification that it's shipped is a charge to your credit card.

Can't seem to get #875# to work anymore.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] usuck16595:
Mine shows its backordered as of October 1st at 2:18am. Am I the only one? I ordered mine August 26 and I chose the white note 4.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] busab:
I ordered mine on 9/24 at 8:34am. Mine still says "being processed". I ordered the black one.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] p()()pypants:
Funny... I've been seeing that trend so far... whites are backordered, blacks are processing.... I ordered the day after, the 27th and it's processing or rather "being processed"... course,I ordered black.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] chong67:
Me 2. It must be overused. LOL
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] darkskymist:
Actually, I ordered the frost white one and my order status says it is being processed. Not backordered. Who knows...im just excited for a new phone :D
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] p()()pypants:
Well, thur yuh go. Trend broken.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] LenLogic:
I ordered mine in black and it now shows processing, but below in the order details it says back ordered. But as I posted before, the Tmo rep said that was normal. Processing means the order is waiting on the ship release, but says back ordered because it is a pre order and the phones are not in the system yet.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] axe720:
This is good to know. Thanks :good:
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] glensta:
Ordered mine (black) on Sept 24th at 3:30pm inside a local t-mobile store. Online status shows as "Pending". Anxiously waiting :cyclops:
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] usuck16595:
Thank you, this is exactly how mine is as well. I was worried thinking I wasn't going to get mine until weeks later. I guess im just too exited haha. But thanks for clearing things up
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] LenLogic:
No problem! Now lets just keep our fingers crossed they ship early :fingers-crossed:
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] JimSmith94:
I'm switching from Sprint to T-Mobile so I'm a new customer activating a new line. Ever since I ordered on 9/24 it has said, "Order Placed". Are all of you that are getting the processing or back order messages doing upgrades or are you new customers too?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] siggystyle:
Neither can I... Actually haven't had it work for me once... Worrying...

---------- Post added at 06:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:12 PM ----------

Ordered mine 9/24/14 @ 1:59pm, and also have "being processed" as a status that has never reflected anything different... Ordered the Frost White version in my order... No backorder status, but no txt msg or confirmation emails either... This was a JUMP! upgrade... Just trying to find an order that duplicates my order-variables to see if this is unusual or common, I guess... Still believe that there is something missing from my transaction, or the process is stalled somewhere (other than charges/shipping)...
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] LenLogic:
It worked for me when I first ordered and my status was pending, but the dates were wrong for shipping. Tmo acknowledged that the system had given incorrect dates. Once mine showed back ordered, #875# no longer worked. Thtat is when i contacted Tmo about the order showing " back ordered" The rep said #875# will not work, or will give invalid information until the order ships. Then it will show the status correctly, and estimated arrival date.

Mine was an upgrade but not Jump!.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] mikea3000:
to check my order status via my t-mobile.com I would enter my order # and zip code and then the search button highlights. I cannot check the status anymore. After entering my order # and zip, the search button cannot be clicked. tried 3 different bworsers.

any one else??
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] p()()pypants:
On your phones mobile browser go to my tmobile(using mobile version, not desktop mode).

On your main page you should have you billing info and individual line/phone info that can be expanded with (+) buttons... there is an alerts section right below it that should have an alert in it about your purchase but if not click "view all alerts and activity" right below it.... either way, click on the alert and it will automatically search your order and give you the current info without having to click a search button or even enter info in the fields.

If you never got an alert... I don't know how to help you. Good luck
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] LenLogic:
That is the best way to check it IMO. If the order does not show up, You need to call Tmo and make sure your order has been received.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Flame Red:
Same for me - new cust.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] rekman:
New customer as well. Just says order placed. Ordered a week ago though. Just hoping since it's a niche device, I'll still get in on the first batch.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] TheBrandonWRX:
How does shipping work from TMobile? Should we expect it to land same day as it comes out? Do we have to sign for the phone? Customer Service couldn't answer that.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] LenLogic:
That is the big question. I have been told from 2 different Tmo reps that it should arrive on the 17th or the day after. But they would not say 100%. Others have had items show up on the release day in the past so it is a good possibility it will. I have never had to sign for a phone from Tmo, but they can require.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] amtrucker22:
I preordered (via phone) last night and asked if I was going to have to be home to signed for it. He said yes as they did not like to ship phone to houses and leave them on door steps. With that being said I am sure if you ask 2 different reps you would probably get 2 different answers.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] chong67:
It will be ship UPS and when you sign onto UPS website you can tell it to leave it at the distribution place to pick it up. Do it before the phone get to your house. Or you can wait the next day to pick it up.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Kawaisa:

I keep posting the same thing over n over i know...but people keep posing the same questions. IF you preordered with the overnight shipping you will get the phone BEFORE the 17.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Flame Red:
I pre-ordered on the 25th and they just charge my CC. I was told they do not charge your CC until they actually ship? Maybe, or maybe not. I doubt they are shipping them early.

This is the first I've pre ordered from T-Mobile. I usually just show up at the store on launch day and pick up what I want. That being said, I recall some people who have pre ordered in the past have received their devices a few days before launch day. I wanted to test that this time around.

---------- Post added at 10:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:22 AM ----------

Have you checked My T-Mobile for shipping details?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Flame Red:
When I ordered I elected to pay for the phone cost all up-front. TMOB charged the CC the full amount, Phone, Tax and Shipping - over $800. Order web site says: Order Placed
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] rcobourn:
If my guess is correct that they are shipping Monday or Tuesday next week, they would likely be preparing to ship about now. I'm expecting many will start seeing tracking information available today or tomorrow, but only "tracking information received" until the boxes actually go out.

Big News....

This is with customer chat support...

Mitzi C: I checked here on our end. Due to early inventory availability, pre-orders will be shipping out of our distribution centers before the October 17 launch date. On October 9, notifications began to be sent out to customers that their pre-order has shipped. And that would be sent via SMS or e-mail. You will be sent an email with the expected delivery date after the device ships.

You: but devices could be shipping today?

You: it doesnt tell you where I am in line? haha

Mitzi C: Devices would begin shipping today.

Mitzi C: And that's almost a week before the Global launch.

Mitzi C: Which is on the 17th.

Here's more verification:

"Nikki G: I've looked into the order number you provided and it shows that it is being processed. Currently, the device is in backorder status and once the device is available, we will send you a notification about it.

You: I had heard that pre-orders are shipping out today

You: for the Note 4

You: is that true?

Nikki G: We are sending out notifications about this and once we have the update for your order, we will also notify you.

You: Wow great, so is there a chance mine will ship today?

Nikki G: Yes, that is right. Due to early inventory availability, pre-orders will be shipping out of our distribution centers before the October 17 launch date.

You: Wow that's great

Nikki G: Before the device ships, you will receive a notification about it.

You: so with overnight shipping will I potentially receive it tomorrow or Saturday?

Nikki G: Don't worry. Rest assured that your device is not being processed and is in queue for delivery.

You: Awesome, when will I receive a shipping notification? Today?
