[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] ShiftyPowers:
wait, I should've waited?

why is there an option when you order the phone to transfer the number? I thought that it transferred once you activated your phone when it arrived?!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] blackout203:
Am I the only one unable to activate the Edge screen for notifications/information when screen is off?

Edit: You have to swipe up THEN down or vice versa. Thought it was just one direction. I'm a dummy.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Galactic2:
in theory it should've waited till you activated the phone or at least inserted the t-mobile sim card into any phone.... actually that is weird?

Is your phone coming tomorrow. If Not, I'd visit a T-Mobile store and see if you can get a sim card and insert it into a phone so you atleast have something working. Your number is ported so you technically already have an account at t-mobile.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] ShiftyPowers:
Yeah, that is what I'll have to do tonight. Why would they give you the option to port your number during the web phone order? If you are a new TMobile user, you would never in any condition have a SIM card to do the activation on until the phone arrived. Maybe it was my fault by not reading the detail during the checkout process but I can't see why anyone would want the port to happen immediately.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] flarbear:
I wish I could remember the specifics, but I do remember seeing that concern spelled out when I was going through my ordering process. I can't cite which page of which part of the process mentioned it. They do mention it on this page:

https://www.t-mobile.com/switch/

Ah, and it is mentioned here, that may be where I saw it:

https://www.t-mobile.com/templates/popup.aspx?PAsset=Crt_Pop_ShippingOptions
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] ShiftyPowers:
wow, it is actually there. they suggest paying for overnight shipping to do that. damn, so maybe it was my fault? WTF. it's somewhat illogical. will go to a TMobile store tonight and hopefully they can just give me a SIM card.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] dagodsha:
In order for the sim card they send with the phone to have your number that is ported, they would have to port the number over first so that the number would be an official T-mobile number before they coded it to a sim card. This is listed in their details on their website but I really think they should break down the process further because that happened to my sister.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] flarbear:
They probably should have had a popup that mentioned this when you selected the number porting option, though. That's a pretty big oops-hole to catch a new customer in...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Galactic2:
hoping my phone is in there somewhere lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] schmay33:
Item: Samsung Galaxy S® 6 - Black Sapphire - 128GB

Status: Awaiting more shipments from Samsung. Expected to ship between 04/12/2015 and 04/26/2015

Ordered mine on Sunday around 1pm.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Wiseson11:
Tmobile is the worst ladies and gents. I preordered mines the day of and this is what tmobile tells me while people are still receiving there in the mail.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] jbdan:
Eek I'm hoping I'm not on the receiving end of one of those!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Wiseson11:
Waste of time pre ordering. I'm going to cancel it and walk in the store and get the gold version. I wouldn't suggest to anyone preorder at this point.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] ShiftyPowers:
status update for me. went to the store, they gave me a SIM card, problem solved in less than 5 mins. phew.

now waiting until Friday!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Galactic2:
Damn. i just got the same email. If i don't get a delivery date by the 10th of April. I will go to a t-mobile store on the 10th and try and get one in person.... And Just send the other one back. (yes im that impatient)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] jbdan:
I ordered 2 on Friday. They are in transit via UPS and to be delivered 3/31. I think a lot of preorders are being fulfilled just not all
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Wiseson11:
You're a very lucky person. I ordered on Thursday morning and got [emoji507] . I canceled my order just now. I want the gold version anyway.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] jbdan:
Did you order from an authorized tmo dealer store or through a corporate tmo store? Are you a T-Mobile subscriber just curious
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Master Loon:
Just received an email for 128gb black s6......shipping will be April 10-24 ...unless more stock received.. Wtf I ordered @8:30 am on 3/27
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Galactic2:
you were able to cancel? i tried to cancel over the phone on Sunday morning and the rep told me i couldn't cancel cuz it was already processed. i would've had to refuse the delivery.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Wiseson11:
I ordered over the phone with tmobile and I've been with tmobile for 10 years.

Welcome to the club
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] km8j:
What models are you guys ordering?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] jbdan:
Gotcha. I ordered the 32gb models in black
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Wiseson11:
128 gb
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Galactic2:
White S6 128gb.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] km8j:
Yea that seems to be the distinction here... it is the 128gb which has far less supply.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] se1000:
Yeah, seems as though the normal 128GB versions haven't been delivered by Samsung to T-Mobile yet. Hopefully they'll get a shipment in and send them out sooner than 4/10
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] kojaraty:
Finally my tracking number is showing that it has been picked up by UPS. It was showing "label created" since Friday.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Wiseson11:
Not true you can cancel, if the payment didn't go through yet then you can cancel just takes time to go through.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] km8j:
See this drives me nuts. There is a good chance that is what happened to mine. The problem is UPS has no clue when it will be in their hands and the "ship date" provided isn't reliable. I.e., UPS claims mine will be delivered tomorrow but doesn't have a scan on it yet. To me, that means T-Mobile created the label today but won't actually ship it out the door until tomorrow.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] flarbear:
http://explore.t-mobile.com/shipping-dates

The T-Mobile shipping dates page shows all black/white devices as 7-10 days, but it said that even before I ordered mine on Sunday and yet mine has already shipped.

All of the gold models say "coming soon".

The only models that list anything else are the 128GB regular S6 models in black/white that both say "2-4 weeks". It sounds like the backorder issue will come up if you ordered one of those, but since other phones are shipping despite being listed as "7-10 days", I'm guessing the 2-4 weeks figure is conservative/pessimistic.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mocsab:
i have done preorders on the Note 3, S5 and Note 4. I have never seen a preorder go as smooth and FAST as the S6. I ordered on Saturday night, Order said processing and during the purchase process it said the phone would be delivered in 7 to 10 days. (S6 Black 62GB)

Monday - Mid-Day, when I checked online to see order status it said "SHIPPED:" and I got a text message at 4pm saying the same thing = order status updated with Tracking Number.

I went to My UPS and changned my delivery to Pick up at U PS Facility. UPS tracking shows the phone has shipped and is in transit. I will pick it up on my way to work this morning.

I have to hand it to TMOBILE - a much improved Pre-Order process. I am really looking forward to getting my hands on my new S6!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] tlxxxsracer:
Pre-ordered my white 64gb s6 on 3/27 around 6pmEST with standard shipping. My tracking # finally updated and will arriving tomorrow! Now I'm excited

Better include mine
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] altimax98:
Ordered me a black 32GB S6 at 9am (PST) last night and it shipped about 30 minutes ago :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] tailgunner9:
But has anyone gotten their phone Yet????
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] jamezr:
There has been several that have gotten theirs AND posted with pics and reviews.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] nolimit78:
Damn it that's so irritating. I did mine in store on the 27th and it's backordered. It wouldn't be so bad because when I first pre-ordered EVERYONE was supposed to get it on the 10th. But since everyone else is getting theirs early, WHERE'S MINE.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] tailgunner9:
Yes Sorry I see Now. Hope they will let us know if it has Locked or Unlocked bootloader? And if Sim Unlocked, it works with AT&T 4G LTE network. Thanks!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] altimax98:
The bootloader is unlocked, as it is for all Samsung devices on T-Mobile. The device IS SIM locked, you need to fullfill 40 days of service with T-Mobile to unlock it or call customer care to unlock it from what I know

---------- Post added at 09:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:25 AM ----------

I know :(

I saw someone (maybe you) post that image that it was backordered yesterday so I ordered mine with next day shipping hoping they would get it out quick (if not just as T-Force for a shipping refund, they are cool like that) and then I saw the shipped and I was like O_O

I know how it feels, I was in the iPhone 6 preorder thread and it was a nightmare seeing people order days after me and get theirs shipped first.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] nolimit78:
Yeah that was me. Thanks for rubbing it in :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] km8j:
T-Mo is so weird. Just got a text that tracking won't be visible on UPS.com until release date lol.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] jbdan:
I got that same text this past Sunday. For one of my GS6's. However, both are clearly visible and will be delivered tomorrow. At least I'm hoping they will :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] km8j:
Yea. The thing is, T-Mobile CAN in theory have UPS retract all of these and hold them. To be honest, T-Mo normally ships a couple days in advance, but two weeks in advance of release is pretty monumental in the space of anything related to pre-orders. All of these texts and such make me wonder if shipping this early was nothing more than a mistake and someone flipped the switch to allow fulfillment.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] blackout203:
Quick question for those who have the phone already. Are my eyes deceiving me or is there a protective film that's on the camera and flash that need to be removed?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] jbdan:
They better not 'retract' and hold mine..... But yeah I get what you're saying. I think my carrier is monumental since I've been with them, they have yet to let me down :thumbup:

---------- Post added at 10:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:13 AM ----------

Don't have mine yet but I've heard there is one. I watched an unboxing last night and thought there looked like one is present. Can you hold yours at angle where light reflects off of it? It should be fairly easy to see with the right light
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] blackout203:
It definitely looks like there is on on both. If it doesn't affect performance (blurry pics, etc.), I may just keep them on. Would love to hear others opinions!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] chillsen:
I just wanted to share with you all worried about your phone shipping, I ordered my 64GB Black S6 YESTERDAY 3/30 at 11:50 AM Eastern Time.

I did not get any emails about shipping or that it has even shipped, and the website had said my model was backordered. I manually logged into T-mob and it said that it had shipped, no tracking info whatsoever. There was no way to know when it would be delivered.

If you activate UPS My Choice, which is a free service from UPS, it will show ALL incoming deliveries to the address you specify, as another member mentioned. I found that mine will be delivered tomorrow! So without waiting for an update email, or a generalized shipping schedule for backordered items, you can find YOUR specific order's delivery date. No more guessing or obsessing over if your order went through or not and if it even shipped yet.

P.S. I opted for regular ground shipping, and it is coming in 2 business days. Origination location is Kentucky as others have mentioned.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] surge27:
When you ordered, was there an estimated delivery date?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] chillsen:
No, it literally just said "Backordered", I still ordered it hoping i'd get it next week and that I can order accessories in the mean time, i.e. tempered glass immediately after peeling off the manufacturer's screen protector (nerdgasm).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] tlxxxsracer:
Same thing has happened to me. I went to UPS my choice and it shows my package is to be dlivered today too! between 1:15-5:15pm.

Never received an email or text about update either
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] shooterlgk:
Did u get charged on ur credit card yet? Or do u get charged when u receive the phone? ..I haven't been charged so I'm assuming it hasnt shipped..ordered mine the 27th. And no info yet just backordered
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] chillsen:
my charge is under pending. make sure you check your pending charges too not just those that have been fully processed when you check your credit card balance. also, no info yet on your UPS My Choice?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] DC2CA:
I'm so mad I wasn't able to preorder. Preorders charge sales tax based on the account address and not the billing address. Also can't change the shipping address. I'm jealous lol.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] echim192:
I ordered my 128 gb black sapphire whatever at 1 pm yesterday, and I got a UPS mychoice alert around 11pm last night saying it's getting delivered tomorrow. Tracking shows it's on time for today!

ALSO - i was in tmobile in union square in manhattan and they said they were selling the device thursday (april 2nd) morning, that they already took "reservations" for it, and they were gonna open their store early to sell them. They said they got around 200 units. Not sure what the reservations thing means, but worth giving a call
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] tenxo:
There is, you don't need to remove the one over the camera as it's cut out for the lens. Remove the one over the heat rate sensor to improve its accuracy.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] shooterlgk:
OK..I'm trying to sign up for that but it won't let me..it keeps saying I have an account with that name already.. Which I never recall making ..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mocsab:
I ordered online from TMOBILE on Saturday night at midnight. My new S6 arrived this morning.

When I opened the box, I had to insert the SD Card and when I tried to use the tool they provided to open the "slide out" where the SIM Card is inserted - it wouldn't open (admittedly, I was hesitant to push too hard - afraid i would break or scratch something)

anyway - I took it to TMOBILE store to ask for help - you should have seen their faces! Where did you get that? Three of them cried at once. It almost seemed like they thought I had stolen it or something, In fact they wanted to take my picture holding the phone. Ultimately they showed me how to insert the Sim Card - and I went my merry way - but as I was leaving, the manager jumped on the phone to call someone. (I really freaked them out - I did explain that TMOBILE was shipping out S6's as early as Friday last week and LOTS of people were getting their phones this week - they didn't seem to want to believe that - but it was really quite funny, (I almost thought they were going to hold me until they could get the cops there! LOL - I wonder if they took down my license number when I drove away. :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] altimax98:
Darn, I have to go and swap SIMs at the T-Mo store.. That blows :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mocsab:
It was probably just a one of a kind reaction - I can't imagine that no one in the TMOBILE stores knows about the preorder being out yet?? really ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] jbdan:
Yeah all the sales people at a local tmo store knew people had already received their preorders
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] DC2CA:
I went in today and they hadn't even gotten their stock yet. When I told them people with preorders were already getting their phones they asked FROM WHO!? When I said T-Mobile they said they didn't believe me. So envious of you guys! :mad:

What REALLY sucks is the Netflix promo is only good for the first 92,000 people. I wish I could get in on that but I won't have my phone till probably the 11th so that's definitely not happening.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] kojaraty:
You can change the billing address of your account. The shipping address will be the same as your billing address. I did this to my account, first change the billing address, log out, and then log in again. You should be able to see the shipping address changed now
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] tlxxxsracer:
Received my s6 today!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] felloffthetruck:
Has anyone actually received a 128GB model yet?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] se1000:
epic username for this thread.

No, I had to be one of the first orders and no indication of shipping. I ordered a black S6. The 128GB edges are shipping though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] opieum:
T-mobile screwed up my jump upgrade, I had to back which resulted in the cancellation of my order and putting it back in. Another phone on order is on its way though but its 32gb. Mine is 128gb and is showing backordered.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] neoflasher:
Just did a jump upgrade at a Tmo store for GS6 white 64gb. Online it says order being processed. Lets see...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] rjayflo:
Received email that my account is activated...still waiting for my delivery
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] neoflasher:
Credit card has been charged
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Adam22686:
Ordered black edge at 12pm est today... Notification received an hour ago that it will be delivered tomorrow verified by ups! I'm going away for a week Friday so I did choose ups overnight delivery
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] DC2CA:
Whaaaat?! The guy on the phone said it wouldn't change till my next billing cycle if I did that!!

I'm going out of town in a few days and don't want to pay for next day shipping.... Wish I would have known this a few days ago.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] msnikke1:
Galaxy s6 edge 128gb

I ordered the phone today and there was already a label created. I was very confused by an email that tmobile sent me saying they would not be able to fulfil my order now because they are awaiting more shipments. I had to wait between 4/12-4/26. But I have a tracking number with over night delivery selected. And ups my choice sent me a notification to expect a package from tmobile tomorrow.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Thedonj77:
Ordered a gold 64 gig edge this morning. Shows still processing, hopefully it ships out later this week for delivery.

Sent not from just an oversized phone but my Samsung Galaxy Note 4
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] brucipher:
Got my black 64GB S6 Edge last evening. It really is a beautifully designed phone. I am loving the fingerprint scanner...so far it has been very responsive and easy to use. Screen is amazing! Camera opens SO fast, and the pictures are beautiful (especially coming from my Nexus 5). Picked up a couple Qi wireless chargers and have one on my work desk now...very convenient. Never used that feature on my N5. Jury is still out on the battery. I saw the high "cell standby" a lot of others were seeing. In my first evening, I charged it to about 77% at 8pm, and from 8pm to 7am this morning I was down to 35% battery with about 2 hours of screen on time. If I get 4 hours of screen on time I will be happy...again, better than my nexus 5. Five hours would be the bomb!

I use my phones "naked", and I am going to have to get used to the slickness of the S6 after coming from the matte finish Nexus 5. I have some screen protectors to put on the phone, so the could give it a touch more grip.

One thing I've always hated about Samsung devices, however, is the placement of the back button. I wish it was on the left side and not the right. Oh well, I will adjust to that.

Signed up for my free netflix...very quick and easy to do. Great promotion! I already subscribe to Netflix and it was easy to add it to my existing account. The $100 savings there is like getting an upgrade to the Edge for free :) (at least that is how I am justifying it).

Good luck to all of you waiting for your devices! I am thrilled with mine so far...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] altimax98:
Ordered my 32GB Black S6 on Monday at midnight and it just got delivered to my local Depot! Gonna get it in an hour or so
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] chong67:
I went thru the same process when I get my Note 4 in Oct. Tmo usually ship from TN. So if you live in neighour state, you dont need to pay overnight. Its a waste of money. In fact, Tmo overnight it free to everyone except those on the west coast.

You can get 50% off accessories at Samsung store. Be sure to use it. I was a luckly few to get those external charger and extra batteries before it ran out of stock.

I will be getting the Note 5 in Oct. Enjoy your S6.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] onthecouchagain:
Congrats!!

Please keep us posted regarding battery life over the next few days! I'm a bit worried about it being on T-Mobile myself...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] rjayflo:
Received my white 64 yesterday late afternoon. Didn't get to play with it much. Out the box I had 60% battery, app drawer you can organize alphabetically, and I'll be updating today
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] chillsen:
oh man that IS bad. my current LG G3 with Greenify with root support helped overnight draining only losing about 8-10% of battery life. Will update you on my own experiences because I'm getting my S6 64GB today via UPS.

I suggest Greenify and I will share my results with Greenify turned on in the coming days.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] brucipher:
Well, over night while I was sleeping I lost 11%. Went to bed with 45% and woke up with 34%.

You figure I lost 42% battery in 11 hours with about 2 hours of screen on time (I only started at 77%). That should mean I was on track for 4 hours of screen on time. I don't think that is that bad...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] rjayflo:
I didn't charge, and I'm at 25% battery down from 60% with 1.5hrs SOT. Went to bed with 48% and woke with 40%.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] se1000:
did you guys have wifi calling on?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] altimax98:
Yup, always do

The S6 ships with a Nano Sim in the box. You DON'T need to use it if your current T-Mobile device uses a Nano Sim, but if your current T-Mobile device doesnt just log into your My-Tmobile account and go to phone. Choose Change SIM and follow the instructions. No need to go to a store.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] neoflasher:
I did my jump upgrade at the Tmobile store yesterday around 4:30pm est. Order showed processing until about 20 min ago. Now currently says shipped at 7:43am today. Although not showing on ups site probably label has been printed. This is for those wondering what ETAs are. Btw I ordered a white 64gb GS6
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] se1000:
Some of the people in the S6 Edge thread were saying turning off WiFi calling greatly reduced idle battery usage.

Is there a setting for VoLTE? I know VoLTE causes some odd behavior on the Z3, might be another thing that just isn't ready yet and may show an improvement if turned off.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] altimax98:
You will receive shipping confirmation from UPS (if your on MyChoice) around 9PM EST. Thats when UPS picks up the T-Mobile packages

---------- Post added at 02:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:28 PM ----------

No VOLTE settings, but I was seeing Cell Standby drain. Figure a patch soon should fix it. Switched it to Cellular Preference to see if it fixes the drain

On a side note the DSP is outstanding. Bone stock audio settings matched up to my AudioTechnica M30X's sound amazing, First device I probably wont bother with Viper4Android on.
