Yeah. Lol. Fantastic ROM. Only battery seemed to be draining a tad faster. Especially when listening to Music with all those mods. Awesome sound anyways

I have seen where some t mobile customers phones have shipped. I thought I would make a thread so we could keep up with actual shipping times for Sprint.

I pre-ordered from best buys website last week and paid for expedited shipping. I'll post as soon as it ships.

You will not be able to participate int he $200 trade in - unless to shipped to store.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oldpreowner:
I tried to order in the store on Monday and they told me they were out of pre-orders. I talked to the manager and they are going to give me the $200 gift card when I receive my phone even though I had to have it shipped to my house. I picked up a net 10 smartphone for $20 that day to use as my trade in.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tarpon6:
Good that you have a cooperative manager there! They should since I heard ship to store wasn't an available option when pre-ordering online.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oldpreowner:
If you pre-ordered be sure and post when yours ships. Thanks

Any ideas for a phone to trade in that costs more than 10 dollars?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oldblue910:
I pre-ordered online. I noticed the pre-authorization that Sprint put on my debit card got credited back, so once they put in the actual charge for the device and ship it, I'll make sure to post here.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Patch7:
That's interesting because my charge wasn't a preauthorization. It was a real charge that posted to my american express a day after I made the purchase. I just checked it again and it is still there.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adames123:
I got the real charge too. No pre-authorizations.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oldblue910:
Interesting. I had to pay a down payment with mine (that's what sucks when you have no credit and pay cash for everything in your life). So I paid $250 + estimated sales tax of $53.38, so a total of $303.38. They pre-authed that amount to my debit card. A day later, Sprint changed the order total, as the system charged me too much sales tax. The actual tax owed is $48.60, so the actual total was $298.60, so they credited me the $303.38 and will instead charge the proper $298.60 once the device ships.

sprint pre-order

I pre-ordeed through Sprint on the telephone on Oct 6........still waiting for tracking #

$320.99 has been charged to my debit card
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gpvlog:
I as well paid the 299 (349 without the credit coming) plus tax upfront the day I pre ordered it. My order went in 4 minutes after the pre orders started and within about 2 minutes it showed up through my bank and cleared just a day later. I expected sprint to charge me for the upgrade fee but they did not yet. Maybe they are waiting for me to actually do the swap.

The T-mobile thread definitely has me wondering if Sprint is sitting on a bunch of Note 4's and just waiting to get them shipped just in time for the 17th. If Sprint ships UPS it will show up in MyUPS and I will get an email. Hoping to see some activity on Monday.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oldpreowner:
I pre-ordered through best buy and they charged my card the full amount ($903 which includes expedited shipping) but then it wasn't showing on there a couple of days later. I called to make sure my order wasn't cancelled and the best buy rep told me the card would be charged when the phone ships.

I'm supposed to be getting a price match of $720 then a $200 best buy gift card for trading a working smartphone. I hope this works out like the store manager says.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gpvlog:
I was in my local Sprint Store today for repair of my wife's G3 and I mentioned that T-mobile users were already getting their Note 4. The first guy said "Impossible, Samsung will not allow it" but the guy in the back room working on someones phone said "Yeh my brother got his a few hours ago" he continued with the possibility that Sprint will start shipping on Monday or Tue for pre-orders in order to guarantee that it will be delivered by the end of the day on release date. So some may get it as early as Wed or as late as Friday. Nothing is for certain as Sprint may wait till Thursday and ship it next day air saver (assuming they use UPS) in which case it could be as late at 8 P.M Friday.

In my opinion I cant see Sprint waiting to the last second. Yes pre-ordering has its advantage of making sure you get your phone in que but I cant see them making it available in stores on Friday morning while the rest of us who pre ordered are just waiting on delivery. I am willing to bet the Wed or Thur delivery is a bit more reasonable. My neighbor did not pre-order but is planning on just walking into sprint when they open on Friday to buy one. Would be a crappy feeling to see him with his Note 4 before me when I ordered it 3 weeks ago.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chosenhobo:
dat $200 tradein tho
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evolone:
I pre-ordered through Best Buy and called their "mobile hotline" today to check on arrival date and they said it's currently in transit with delivery on the 16th. I'm hoping Best Buy doesn't hold it for a day to be released, but there's potential for people who purchased through BB that'll their device will be a day early.

The sales rep told me (if he knew what he was talking about) when I pre-ordered on sept 26th, first day of allowed pre-order that I would probably be on the second shipment due to the number of orders already placed that day so possibly there is a Oct 15th arrival for the initial group.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slorebath:
When I spoke to Sprint today I got quite the run around. When I check my order, which was placed on the third, It's still sitting in the same state it was at when I originally received the order number. Called this afternoon to ask and was told that Sprint has yet to receive any phones, which I'm sure isn't true, and that all the blame is on Samsung. I asked how T-Mobile customers received their phones and was pretty much ushered off the phone. I was told that the release date was "around" October 17th and was then hung up on.

I don't even care, I assume they'll do right by us, I just hate receiving the BS canned responses.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gpvlog:
There is a discussion going on over at the official Sprint forums. Someone who claims to work at UPS says that on Monday he saw the the labels which indicate a Tue Wed ship out. Now I don't work for UPS but I thought that the company who is shipping would do the printing, taping, and sending to UPS. I cant see sprint showing up with 10,000 phones and all the UPS employees having to tape the labels on the boxes before ship. I can see the info being sent electronically though and maybe this person has access to it.

I keep reading that AT&T is shipping Monday night into Tuesday. No word from Verizon or Sprint.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikebz5:
If that person works for UPS Supply Chain he may be telling the truth. They warehouse and ship for hundreds of companies.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhendera:
I pre-ordered the phone and they shipped only today :\ so I won't be getting it until Monday or Tuesday. I'm quite upset - can I go in and cancel the pre-order and get one if they have it in the store?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EmergenC911:
I'm just really hoping they send these out with overnight shipping so they get here tomorrow but I don't want to get my hopes up.

I'm trying to call their customer service now to see if I can cancel the preorder and just get one in the store. I'm pissed that it takes me longer to get it on pre-order than not.

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhendera:
The store was waiting for their UPS shipment today.. if they have any extra phones (that weren't pre-ordered) I can come in and cancel my pre-order and get a phone today. Otherwise I'll have to stick it out. I'll be called later today when they know more.

Ordered the 14th via Telesales (SERO-P) and received it yesterday... no one has any accessories.

Guys at Best Buy and Sprint looked at me funny yesterday when I walked in looking for cases and said I didn't have the phone because it wasn't released. Made them look stupid when I pulled it out of my pocket and showed them.

Went back today to buy and Otterbox or similar; nothing at Sprint and only the S-Flip cover at Best Buy :(
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samep:
Got my BB pre-order this morning with $200 gift card and the $50 upgrade bonus. My trade in held up the line because the staff weren't ready to take my $0 trade in. Get this; the trade in doesn't require a manager override but the mobile worker has to be signed in the computer. When the looked up trade in goes to $0, selecting recycle brings up a new screen with two options. One is for the $200 gift card for any functional smart phone. With my paid gift card and the two offered gift cards, I basically paid tax today. The guy next to me had just been told his iPhone 3G's would not be accepted as the trade in for $200 gift card. I asked if the new trade in screen would work for him and she said it would apply now. The manager had to call to get the steps correct. Waited a while but he told the mobile worker to make the rest of the staff aware of the steps.

My local BB was only filing pure orders this morning;turned one person away without a pre order.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjr2010:
I saw the 50$ upgrade bonus. it expires today I believe and since my phone didn't come in I might not be able to get that deal. I'm gonna call and ask What was your total?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samep:
With CA tax on a 2yr contract upgrade, $363.99 total. I paid $63.99 after handing all my gift certificates over.

The terms on the $50 upgrade expire the 18th according to the email BB sent out Monday.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjr2010:
I would have to get a manager to override the price because its simply out of my hands as to why they don't have my phone in stock, the associate was like he couldn't really help me because he didn't know what to do... Not bad on that 63.99. I applaud you!
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samep:
To be clear for those not aware of the BB pre-order process, one of gift certificates I handed over today was the $50 gift certificate that I had to purchase to reserve the pre-order. That brings my total cost to $113.99, plus the two year commitment. Sprint has agreed to reverse the activation fee. Still have to call with my customer care ID# of the rep that offered to reverse fee and date of the call. Still not bad for this phone!

I wish you the best outcome on your redemption of gift certificates and bonus upgrade. Exceptions should be made since all pre-orders were not received today. Also, the upgrade bonus expiration impacts more than just pre-orders.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjr2010:
Well there was an additional promo if you have BestBuy Rewards, where they give an additional 50 bucks off. I'm not sure if they will allow me to do it, but its worth a try. If it does work correctly then I'll get the 200 + 50 for the extra trade-in bonus. Either way I'm still in the waiting process simply because they didn't get enough phones.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samep:
Yes, the email said I had 27 points to qualify for the upgrade bonus that expires tomorrow.

And I forgot to mention that my mobile checkout gal was kidding me about not giving me this phone because it's so nice just to hold and that screen! She offered me her iPhone. No thanks but funny.

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhendera:
yeah I was told the store didn't get a delivery from ups today.. I'm inclined to call BS lol. However I'll just wait until monday.. or tuesday. Might go and bother them at the store again tomorrow if I'm impatient, lol. Kind of beats the need to pre-order though.. sigh.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjr2010:
Just got my pre-order today, the manager wouldn't give me the additional 50 bucks for the Samsung trade in, he just was like they would have to do it based on the original trade in value. so I save the 200. in total I paid about 130. Which isn't 299 so a win in my book. the phone is pretty dang sick. I haven't had a moment to mess with everything, but its coming soon. I hope everybody gets their phones sometime this week. I guess my source at another best buy store wasn't lying when she said that they have truck coming in Mondays and Thursdays. Best of luck folks. Can't wait to get rooted!
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samep:
I wouldn't be in a hurry to root; make sure everything works. I have a functional phone with some minor quirks. Samsung just advised me that reflashing the phone at the Samsung Experience shop at Best Buy may be necessary. The pictures taken seem dim for whatever setting I use and they tell me the browser should have auto-fit capability despite not having the option in settings. Whenever I double tap a browser window to expand, the view doesn't fit to full view but over expands it and I have to manually resize every time. Anyone try to use Swype to take the Best Buy survey? Mine was totally glitched. Trying to tap would delete the first two tapped characters and replace with the third tapped character. After that every swiped word had to be done twice because the first was just ignored. Horrible survey; same questions, repeatedly. Had some copy paste issues where the copied email address wouldn't transfer, just blanked result on paste. And I thought we could still open two messages window to drag content from on messenger to another since Note 3. I may need a tutorial to embrace the S-pen features.

Missing some features from Cyanogen, move cursor with vol+/- >> L/R, center clock mod, themes to minimize that huge ugly edit arrow to a smaller semi transparent one (possibly coming with android lollipop, hopefully). Battery is not what I hoped for but that seems to improving on the third day; possibly settings that I've experimented with. Not finding the Sprint Optimizer to be any special help; no surprise there.

That launcher; nothing special but I tried to endure it's lack of options and features.

FWIW, Samsung claims the reflash of firmware cleared up a couple of browser complaints since recent launch.

I wanted to root right away but this proves it wasn't root that caused the problems. Another reason I wanted to wait on root was the battery saving update. Seems users are having to root again after the update. Or was it having to unroot to update? IDK, I waited a while before rooting my first android phone despite purchasing for that specific option. But, it's also safer to wait until Sprint firmware is available to download before flashing.

If reflashing doesn't help, I'll ask for an exchange. Hoping Lollipop is much improved and intuitive.

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UPSGuy:
I'm a UPS driver

1) UPS doesn't attach labels to boxes. It's done by the shipper.

2) UPS employees would have no information about anything until we have physically picked up the pallets of boxes which would be from a warehouse in a tractor trailer or if shipped directly from overseas like the iphones were we'd get them at the airport.

3) Yes, many Tmobile customers have already received their devices, but there is no confirmed report of any other carrier's customers receiving one in the US yet.

Charged to my Credit Card and when i checked on sprint account i got the exact amount credit. :confused: Why didn't they take the money?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gpvlog:
Since you didnt actually get a phone you are really just overpaying on your account. As soon as they process the preorder then you will get billed for it and that credit will be gone. I had a 370 dollar credit on my account for about a day and then it disappeared. So when they ship out the phone there will be no new charges, cept for the upgrade fee of course.

I did the same. I ordered at 1:04 A.M on the 26th. Exactly 4 minutes after the pre-order went live. At 1:06 A.M I had the pending amount from my bank. 15 minutes after that sprint sent me the follow up email and showed a credit on my account. It was gone the next day and so was the money from my account.

Here is how my bill looked this month

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bwright4:
When I pre-ordered on Sprint's website on the 26th, there was a sentence on there that read "we'll charge your card now and do our best to get it to you by Friday the 17th." Even in the email I received it stated the same thing. Now, correct me if I'm wrong because I haven't visited the pre-order page in a while, but I just went on the pre-order page and it doesn't say that at all anymore. It says it "you'll get it in 2-5 business days." How can they say that if supposedly they have no phones yet(I am almost positive that isn't the case as well)? Just wanted to see what everyone else's thoughts were on this. I feel like they have them in stock and their preparing to start fulfilling pre-orders. Just don't know why they're giving the run around and not telling us that. Maybe to keep people from freaking out if they don't get it by the 17th?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muahhShay:
I have a feeling we are not got to receive the phones until next week. Hopefully, I'm wrong and just impatient. But if their giving an 2-5 business days expectation and they haven't sent it out yet. It's more then likely to cover their ass. I think it should only be fair that they allow us who pre-order the phone to pick it up within store if they have it available in store before we get ours. We should have first priority.
