How many apps are loaded by T-Mobile? If you don't mind.

Well sir, I stand corrected!

This is kind of awesome news - but my tracking info has not been updated, still says billed!

just returned my week old note 4 to get the galaxy s6

once the i receive back the payment for the note 4 , ill get the s6 in store on april 10th
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] osmosizzz:
So it comes with the unlock app. That's awesome! Tmobile uses it to unlock the phone. But I think it verifies with your account and what not..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] xda23:
So if I ordered one today I would get it Monday?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] osmosizzz:
Likely not. Probably get it Tuesday
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Shoulon:
When are they suppose to be available in store?

Think I saw someome say April 10th. Is that correct?

I ordered around 9:45 am PDT yesterday and chose the longest shipping option. 5-7 days ground. My ups tracking says delivered by the end of the day Thursday.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] kchustla:
Ordered mine yesterday at about 9:00 am CST. My status says shipped and I have a tracking number. I picked ups ground shipping and they said I would get it on the 8th. I just checked and it says estimated delivery Tuesday 3/31. YAY!!

Curiously I got a text from T-Mobile saying "All tracking will not be visible on UPS.com until the product launch date has passed". Weird because I'm still seeing it.

Ordered mine at 10a.m. EST (first person in the store) and got my tracking # saying mine should be here on Monday and its already left the warehouse and is in NJ on its way to me in NYC way to go T-Mobile!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Towle:
It depends what you use and where you store it. I personally went with the 32GB. The only thing I use my phone storage for is applications. All my pictures are uploaded to a cloud service, I only stream music via Spotify premium, and I never use my phone for movies etc.

Depending on your signal strength, that might also influence your decision. If you need to download things regularly for offline use, you may want to go bigger.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] tenxo:
As Towle put it, that's going to come down to your on personal usage and needs...I went with the 64gb just for safe keepings, since my biggest thing is photos at family events and such. I just haven't got into the cloud storage thing yet as I want instant access to my files, but if needed I would offload there. Given that you don't get the whole GB space 32 might end up being 25 out the box, I went for a little cushion. Also the extra $80 felt like a good spend, instead of getting the smaller capacity edge version for more.

Since I'm already waiting on the S7 ha ha, didn't feel the need for the 128 gb.

Still not too many people saying weather they are ordering the edge or classic. I am nust curious.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] km8j:
Customer care isnt the greatest source of info but the woman I just spoke to promises you can walk into a store tomorrow and buy it, assuming they have stock.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] xda23:
In the u.s.?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Towle:
Tmobile must've done something in relation to the SMS they sent out about no tracking info being available until the launch date. All of the progress disappeared from my tracking info and it now says "ready for UPS." Earlier today it showed a few different arrivals and departures.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] entropism:
I can assure you, it won't be in store till April 10th, or at least close to that date. I know a few store managers, and they're not expecting stock before release date.

As for me, I ordered a Black 64GB today from T-Mobile, should have it Tuesday. While I love the look of the Edge, A: I can't justify the $100 increase B: I'm not a fan of the hand feel C: I would HAVE to get green, and that's not an option unless I buy it outright, unlocked. After being with Nexii for so long, I simply can NOT justify spending $900 on a phone. No way, no how.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] km8j:
Yes

Stores get them well in advance of April 10th, or they would never be able to sell them on release date. Units are already on craigslist and ebay and those sellers indicated many stores already have them. Whether or not they obtained them legally I cannot comment on.

On an aside, while I commend T-Mobile for consistently shipping pre-orders early, I've never understood why stores have to wait until release date.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] tenxo:
Delete
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] entropism:
"Well in advance" is usually the day before, from personal experience selling them. The DEMO units come well in advance (and are in stores now) but items listed for sale? USUALLY received the day before, and unpacked the night before after the shift ends.

As for people on Craigslist or Ebay, you have a few reasons: Samsung events, where they give everyone free phones. HTC just did this with the M9, and you have people rushing to sell them ASAP. You also have people who preordered, have an arrival date, and will sell them to you that day. You had this with EVERY phone, even the iphone.

Here, I did some further research for you to prove my point: I live just outside of NYC. If I was able to walk on water, I could walk to Manhattan from here. That being said, NYC is a fairly MAJOR area int he US, and you would expect to have TONS of S6s available right NOW, right? According to what you posted...

So here are the ads:

SAMSUNG GALAXY S6 $50_DOWN_NO_CREDIT_CHECK!!_ - $50

WE ARE GOING TO BE THE 1ST ONES CARRYING THE SAMSUNG GALAXY S6!! AND S6 EDGE!! EXCLUSIVELY!!

CURRENTLY WE HAVE THE S5, NOTE 4, GALAXY TABS, GRAND PRIME AND MORE AVAILABLE FOR $50 DOWN!!

Then you also have this guy, with a dozen ads:

Not really what I'm referring to. These people are literally saying they got them in advance from friends at T-Mobile stores. I get it happens with every phone. I still don't understand fundamentally why they will ship early but not usually sell in stores early.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] avenging:
tmobile is amazing for people who want them early, there area people in the s6 edge subforum that have their units already :good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] entropism:
I'm just not seeing this, and to be perfectly honest, I don't care enough to look up every craigslist area to see for myself. I posted the ads available around NYC, and NONE are saying they have it already.

As for why they dont sell it in stores, it's fairly easy to answer: Samsung sets a sale date. Stores are NOT ALLOWED to sell it before that date. Happens with any company really, not just Samsung. Phones, video games, cars, watches, etc etc. It's to ensure that stores who get it early don't A: inflate prices and B: steal business away. If T-Mobile were to sell early IN STORE? Samsung can A: Sue them or B: Refuse to send them more product in the future.

Will they? Probably not. CAN they? That's the agreement and contract that they signed.

Now, say "Bill's Cell Phone Emporium & Pretzel Bakery" got them phone in stock on the 7th, and said "Screw it, let's sell now!" As soon as you have proof one store sold early, EVERY store can. Again, it's in the contract. And if it's a small store (but large enough to buy direct from Samsung), you bet your ass they'll have either legal or product issues in the future.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] km8j:
I'm well aware of all of the logic you just stated. It does not however indicate why, given all these restrictions, they SHIP early...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] entropism:
Probably worked out a deal with Samsung. *Shrug* No clue, don't really care much. When the S3 came out, I got it 3 days before release from AT&T. That being said, they ship a few days early because they're supposed to "arrive the day of launch", but of course they show up a day or two early. No clue about this though, it's really an anomaly.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] NJGSII:
Mine that I preordered yesterday has shipped and will be at my house Tuesday.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] SRZ1977:
Is it possible to buy these on the website outright without a contract?

I want to use the phone on a T-Mobile MVNO.

Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] entropism:
Select the "pay as one payment" tab and you can buy it outright. They'll probably give you a new phone number, just cancel service as soon as you receive it. There's no such thing as contracts with T-Mobile, outside of simply financing your device.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] jbdan:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] km8j:
What shipping method did you pay for and how was it sent?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] verks:

So got email that they are delaying shipping until Tuesday (happens on a lot of 2 day shipments that end up getting delivered day early) but now when I log onto UPS, shows

"Scheduled Delivery:

Scheduled delivery information is not available at this time. Please check back later."

Hopefully they aren't having UPS hold everyone's thats supposed to come tomorrow/early - I know Apple does this. Even though a few did slip up and get delivered yesterday.

How long have people been waiting from order to a status update that indicates a ship date?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] flarbear:
Called 2 stores in SF this morning, including the big one on Market that held the Release Party "night before" release of the G1 back in the day, and both said they wouldn't get it until 4/10. But they said you could order it and it would ship "in about a week"...

---------- Post added at 04:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:16 PM ----------

According to the following link, all black/white models are 7-10 days except for 128g regular that are at 2-4 weeks, but I wonder how accurate that is. Did it say this even on Friday when people who are receiving theirs ordered them?

http://explore.t-mobile.com/shipping-dates

It would be nice if we could get color, reg/edge, and storage size when people report ship dates. It likely depends on stock on hand so someone getting a shipment date of 2 weeks out doesn't mean that someone else won't get a shipment date of tomorrow if they order the right device.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Towle:
My tracking info shows that mine is 10 miles away from me and on time for delivery tomorrow.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] brucipher:

I'm pretty mad. Pre-ordered the white s6 64gb Friday.. Status showed shipped but label was only created. Store told me I'd receive it 7-10 biz days after April 10th. They never gave me the option to overnight the phone. >.<

To get overnight I must cancel the order and told I can redo the order online. Rep cancels the order so I can redo and credits my account to get free overnight shipping

So now I actually am told I have to go in store to do the jump upgrade since it's telling me I'm intelligible.

I hope I don't get screwed.

Don't think they'll unlock it right away. Might need third party unlocker to unlock the device... There is cell unlocker which I'm going to give a try but in the mean time, I'll be using it with a new line from Tmobile
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] dhaliwal925:
There is an app on the newer T-mobile phones, once they are able to verify that the phone is paid in full you simply open the app and click "Permanent Unlock" - that's it! Basically I think you would have to turn it on and activate it using a T-Mobile sim, afterwhich you can unlock it.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ice_cold17:
Hey guys. Forgive me for my noobness here, I'm still kind of new to rooting etc. So I've got an Australian nexus 6, running 5.0.1, its rooted, I used the nexus root toolkit, and it installed twrp, I want to update to 5.1, downloaded the update from aosp or whatever and tried to sideload it, I kept getting errors and fails. Both twrp and adb are updated. Now I think from what I've read, after rooting a 5.0 device you can't receive OTAs anymore. I just got the OTA notification, I downloaded it and pressed install, it restarted then booted into twrp and didn't start the update process. I've tried unrooting but it failed. My questions are: can I install the OTA through twrp? Is there a way to bypass twrp to continue the update? Can I factory reset through settings on the phone to go back to stock and then do the update that way? (I've heard its bad to factory reset like that, not sure why or if its true?) Just want 5.1 already! Any help is appreciated, and if possible dumb it down a bit because some terminology still is not known to me

Thanks in advance
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK0087:
If you're unlocked, rooted and have TWRP, why not just install custom ROM? Otherwise you can download factory image that you want, unzip and flash images individually via fastboot. Just don't flash user data and you won't loose data.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miketucky350:
Just use the toolkit to 100% flash back go stock. It will unroot and reinstall stock recovery. Just remember to always keep USB debugging on and keep that boot loader unlocked. Once your back to the out box state you should be v able to receive ota. Or just use toolkit to flash the new stock image for your device. Ends with I.

I don`t erase and flash userdata usualy, its good to erase cache and then flash cache cache.img. A data factory reset after the procedure is adviced however for preventing fc`s and such.
