Dont trust the tracking, there are too many orders for their system to update...look forward to tomorrow, feel lucky if today, and know that the weather may still push us back to Sat. Or Mon..., but that Note will get hacked, lol, soon enough...provided we get roms...I think I am gonna take a break from web dev and look into android dev for this device....

Did you have any tracking info prior to your notice to pick up?
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] BigMosley:
Mine is still scheduled for Monday and I will be heading to Best Buy in 20 minutes.
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] themisterwilson:
UPS is just incompetent, I'm 200% convinced of that already. I'm sure that the Pony Express could do this **** better than them.
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] BlueFox721:
That is awesome....

Or even carrier pigeons!
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] allofthepeople:
"Scheduled Delivery Updated To:

Friday, 08/19/2016, By End of Day"

Just got this, hoping for today still, but I can take this.
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] themisterwilson:
Sprint idiots told me by the 19th. Yesterday got the tracking number and wtf?? the 22nd?? Of course, it's been in transit to UPS for 12+ hours. Stupid. Sprint failed, UPS is just sad. A rational person would think 2nd day Air=2 days. So, what? 17th > 19th? Seems logical. Nope. That's not UPS math, 2 really means 5.

But good idea, i'll send my pigeon!
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] durandetto:
Finally got switched back. Still hoping it just shows up today.
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] BlueFox721:
Since the average weight is 3-4 lbs on other shipping notices and mine is 7lbs, what are the chances they are sending me a freebie 2nd note 7 just cause im a nice guy...lol
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] galland1:
Mine is 1.30 lbs
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] themisterwilson:
Well, mine says 1.3 lbs. I guess I'm getting half of one. Maybe a whole S-pen. Jerks :fingers-crossed:
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] brownchm:
I think the problem lies with sprint. Amazon ships via ups and they hardly ever have problems.
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] QWIKSTRIKE:
Mine says 8/19/2016 afternoon delivery also
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] tony0691:
Preordered from best buy yesterday. Just got a notification this morning that its ready to be picked up. will be heading out there soon!
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] jlharing99:
Just got my call from Best Buy to schedule my pick up for tomorrow. :)
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] themisterwilson:
Really? My amazon stuff always comes FedEx. Or USPS when it fits in my mailbox.
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] sunmybun:
did you guys get updated shipping info by talking to UPS or Sprint? If so, then I might as well talk to them as well. Or did it update by itself?
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] brownchm:
Yeah generally speaking most of my stuff has come via ups.
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] BigMosley:
I went to BestBuy and you cannot pre-order the device and pay for it outright you can only pre-order the device and do the monthly or the 2-year service agreement. They told me my only option is to come in tomorrow and if they have extras then I can just buy it outright and then I will deny Sprints delivery and get a refund on theirs.
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] tony0691:
Do it online. That's how I preordered mine yesterday. I was able to select to pay it in full. Picked up my gear fit the same day and now the phone is waiting for me to pick it up today.
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] brownchm:
I got another email from ups. You can also got to sprint.com/myorder and click on the tracking number.
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] BigMosley:
The only option is to get the gear fit? They just said at the store you can pick either. Why is there no choice online?
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] tony0691:
Interesting. I'm not sure. I actually didn't pay attention when I was preordering mine. I was already set on the gear fit so I didn't even check if you could choose the micro sd card instead.
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] BigMosley:
Maybe I'll just get the Gear Fit then, I already have a 200gb card. I'm really only worried more about resale value.
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] mammothjojo88:
Mine was ordered at the sprint store
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] Machinist guy:
Mine now says its ontime and will be here friday!
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] DruoGaby:
im trying to locate my order...sprint is saying ups has the phone...ups saying yes an electronic bill was filed but they never received the phone...they dont have it..so sprint has to call to see whats going on...someone is fuccking up bigtime!
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] durandetto:
Just got a departure scan, ups officially has my phone.
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] BigMosley:
Thanks for the info, I just bought it online. It automatically added the Gear Fit to my order and I removed it so when I go pick it up tomorrow I'll just ask for the SD card. If my Sprint or just so happens to come tomorrow (still says Monday) I will keep the Sprint order and get the Best Buy refund. What a frickin hassle it has been since August 3rd.
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] BigMosley:
I just got off the Sprint chat and I went in pissed off looking for a account credit for my troubles and he said UPS has told Sprint that the majority of tracking numbers that show a 8/22 delivery date will most likely be delivered tomorrow 8/19.
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] tony0691:
Best of luck! I already have a 128gb card that i bought for my s7 edge which is why I went with the gear instead. I went out to Best Buy to pick up my Note and they told me they can't release it until tomorrow. I half expected that but was still kind of upset and annoyed that I would get a notification that it was ready for pick up today. Guess I'll be waiting until tomorrow!
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] LouRock:
WTF.. Just got an update stating that their gonna deliver the phone tomorrow by end of day. I wonder if they'll now want back the $30 service credit they gave me for all of the inconvenience.. LOL.. ?
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] BigMosley:
That's what Sprint just told me, would be funny though cuz I just bought another one that will be ready for pickup at Bestbuy tomorrow.
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] QWIKSTRIKE:
I just checked my tracking and it is less than an hour away. It should get here by tomorrow afternoon..
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] BlueFox721:
My Note 7 has left Nashville at 5:30pm, looking good for tomorrow about 3:30pm...got my seneo fast charge stand today and my tough armour last week so i am ready....best of luck to you all...my Note 3 is set to retire to a dev only phone....
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] BigMosley:
This is where mine still is, order placed August 3rd. It's almost like they know I'm going to take it directly to my local Sprint store and get my refund [emoji23]
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] kgbedge:
Nice ..:) I getting my by tomorrow
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] sunmybun:
sorry for the confusion. I meant about the rescheduled date. Mine is still at Louisville, KY with date of the 22nd.

It didnt get changed to the 19th like others did. Did people call them to change the date back to the 19th?
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] BlueFox721:
I believe that most of the orders just got changed, without consumer input, and that even though some may still show the 22nd, expect the 19th unless your order is from the 16th and newer or two to three days away from ky

---------- Post added at 02:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:32 AM ----------

Tmobile had similar problems, however, due to the larger amount of xda users on their thread there are more that have actually been delivered (to be seen). But they have had some delivered to the wrong address and some lost altogether. Many though, are still waiting for ups to update shipping status. I would bet that many Sprint users got their devices today... tmobile are over 600 pages on xda over this shipping issue...
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] durandetto:
A lot of people are getting the same arrival and departure scan times as me. They just get the updates a couple hours later. So, my guess is we'll all get our phones tomorrow just some people won't get the updates as quickly.
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] sunmybun:
I'm located in NY and I preordered over the phone on the afternoon of the 3rd. I hopefully will receive it by tomorrow because I took a day off to wait for the phone hehe. Thanks for the info and input though =)
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] nexus6R3plicant:
I still remember having to take the day off to stand in line at my sprint store to buy my PAlM PRE lol ... This is much easier lol
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] sunmybun:
damm the old days.

I wasnt with Sprint at that time but I do remember my older cousin having the palm pre and I would be mesmerized by its functions: email, go on web, and etc. haha.
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] allofthepeople:
I was one of those! Wish webOS had worked out, I loved that phone!
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] busventinc:
Well seems my order got scanned in Orlando yahooooo tomorrow is the day hope those who are receiving there's tomorrow the 19th have a great unboxing [emoji5] and enjoy there new toy..
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] DruoGaby:
still not an inch of movement from last light...smh...not even an origin scan
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] dpwhitty11:
Mine is ready to leave the local distribution UPS come morning :D

Looks like I'll have it tomorrow after all.
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] DruoGaby:
i had to get a whole new order after goin back n forth with them...if they had listened yesterday i would be getting it today...smh sprint is the worst!!
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] BigMosley:
It looks like all the T-Mobile people already have their SD cards being shipped to them. That's why I'm glad I just am going to keep my BestBuy preorder from yesterday and cancel the Sprint so I can walk out of Best Buy with the SD card today instead of waiting and possibly not getting it from everybody swamping that website.
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] brownchm:
I would have gone through Sams club myself if I had not already started the process with sprint. I would have had to do their credit check again since I was starting a new line.
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] busventinc:
Awesome today is the day hopefully they don't change there mind and switch it back to Monday again...[emoji23] [emoji23] [emoji23] [emoji23]
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] Machinist guy:
Anyone get theirs yet? Im sitting by the door like a little kid just waiting!!!!
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] sunmybun:
Yay. Ive been so patient for this. Well kinda loll
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] Machinist guy:
Im jealous. Lol
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] fgr:
I actually got mine yesterday, can't believe how lucky I got.

Here's how it went:

When I picked up the box off the porch, I was surprised at how heavy it felt. After opening the box, the phone feels and looks good.

Battery was at 39%, fully charged in maybe 30 to 45 minutes? Didn't turn on the phone yet. Used the charger and cable that came with the phone.

Went to Sprint's website to activate that way so I could get my MSL.

Turned on phone and ran through all the usual first time setup stuff.

Powered down and went to bootloader. Locked, damn it.

Powered down and went to recovery. Nothing to see here, basic stock recovery.

Went to play store and installed all my apps. Used Helium to restore my game and other misc data. Worked very well.

Put on cheap screen protector and case. Will buy good ones when we know what's good!

Overall very happy with the phone. Only thing I noticed was twice when I went to use a program it said it had no data connection. I was on WiFi so I turned it off and back on then it worked. This happened once at home and once at work this morning. Both places are good networks and never had trouble with my note 5 in the same places. Time will tell if it was just a fluke or not.

Out of time, had to put it and me to sleep for the night. btw my cloetech wireless chargers fast charged just fine with or without case on it.

At work today, no time to play with it (the phone) today.

---------- Post added at 09:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:33 AM ----------

Oh, forgot to mention that I did the free gift paperwork, should have gone on my list right after I turned the phone on.

Got an email from Samsung this morning saying my submission has been accepted and I should have it within 12 weeks. That's ridiculous if it really takes that long. We'll see.
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] Machinist guy:
Nice!!! Congrats. So no chance of rooting I take it?

---------- Post added at 03:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:39 PM ----------

What is the deal with the MSL? How does that work?
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] eyecon82:
Just ordered yesterday at 3pm central time. And it will be delivered today. That was fast! Good job Sprint!
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] mbmike29:
Mine is out for delivery. Thank goodness I'm at work to stay distracted. I feel like it's Christmas, lol. I know it's just a phone, but I've been waiting for this phone since DECEMBER!
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] eyecon82:
I wish I could be excited. The edge thing annoys me. I've had an upgrade waiting for almost a year. After hearing Sprint may kill off subsidized plans on August 26, I had to pull the trigger. I'm still living my MXPE
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] BlueFox721:
Samsung said that there will definitely be enough, but a gift on hand is always better than a wasted thought...I wonder if there is an agreement between the Carriers to allow one to release before another?
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] fgr:
Nope, no root at this point.

The MSL is "Master Subsidy Lock". It lets you get in to a lot of the radio/ip address settings and such. Open the dialer and enter ##3282#. You then have two options, view or edit. You can always choose view to look around. If you choose edit it will ask for your MSL. If you don't know what your doing, never choose edit.
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] mbmike29:
I've been hearing that Sprint's going to kill subsidized plans for 2 years now and so far they haven't. They even took the ability to do them off the website for a time, but they've been back for a little while now. I still have my Everything Data Share 1500 plan with Unlimited data. They day Sprint makes me give up Unlimited data will be my last day with Sprint - it's the *ONLY* reason I am still with Sprint. VZ and AT&T both have far better coverage and data speeds in my region.

My wife is eligible for a renewal in September - so we'll see then I guess.
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] busventinc:
Just got mine whoohoo good luck everyone and enjoy the device..
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] durandetto:
What is everyone using as a receipt for the Samsung promo? I did the lease option.
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] tyrant160:

Just got notification that mine's at the store - going to pick it up tomorrow morning. For those of you who got it, is it everything you expected??

[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] durandetto:
It's finally here, perfect timing too. Just got out of work and seen the ups guy driving down my road.
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] Machinist guy:
Got mine!!!
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] infernosoft:
Doubt that's going to be the case - all the major samsung phones have had their bootloaders unlocked for the past decade....unless I'm missing something.
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] sunmybun:
I heard that they will let people upgrade with subsidies still but after the 26th you cant do it at brick and mortar stores, only telesales and online.
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] BlueFox721:

Does anyone know if sprint requires a signature for delivery? I ask because I won't be home on Monday when the package gets here.
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] DruoGaby:
yea..its required...anyone can sign though.....or change the address to where youll be or tell them leave it at the front office
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] kingdruid:
Thanks

I am loving the new LTE Plus network the 7 has, blows the old LTE the Note 4 had out of the water!
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] lennykravitz2004:
UPS just left it on my doorstep, no signature provided at all.
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] reverepats:
Is it me, or is the touchscreen responsivness not at sensitive as the Note 4 or note 5?

I kno2 this isn't the correct place to ask, just didn't want to start a new thread.

My note 5 screen was super responsive to my touchscreen hits.

Seems whenever ever I'm typing like I am now, or even just navigating thru the phone, its like I get miss hits when clicking the screen and I gotta try it over and over.

Anyone notice this at all? I doubt theres anything wrong with my device tho
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] Bigmar75:
Yeah man, i have noticed this on my device as well
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] fgr:
I didn't need a signature either.

Left work early to get home before it arrived and me security camera showed the UPS driver there. I still had about 10 minutes before I got home. I thought crap, now I'll have to wait until tomorrow.

Was pleasantly surprised when I did get home that the package was right there on my porch.
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] durandetto:
Get ups my choice and leave delivery instructions. That's what i did and they put it in my breezeway even with my wife home. I think its up to the drivers discretion, if they think the package will be safe they'll leave it. Mine was left indoors and I'm in a rural area with no close neighbors. YMMV.
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] reverepats:
Yeah its really wierd.

Again I don't think my device is faulty, maybe it's just something I'll have to get used to. But on my note 5,i never had to tap so hard to click a link, type a message like this one, or whatever.

Other than that I'm loving everything about it.
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] Bigmar75:
I notice it the most when scrolling, but yeah, I will just have to get used to it
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] enzeden:
Twice now, the first driver was delivering my S7. He came to the front door and I expected he would knock and ask for someone, but he just dropped it on the door step and ran back to his truck. This isn't the sort of neighborhood not to have someone sign for a delivery in. Yesterday, the driver arrived with my Note 7. I was standing at the mailbox and watched him jump out of his truck and begin to head to my next door neighbors house. "AHEMMMM" I spouted. He saw me, ran up, put the box in my hand and said, "At least someone's paying attention." Damn right! Good thing too. But not once, did either ever ask for a signature. I think it should be a standard delivery policy for sprint. Any thief in the neighborhood could be running around with MY Note 7 today had I not been paying close attention.:(
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] BigMosley:
Yes! Almost like you need to press harder then previous devices. Like others said, not a big deal. I have noticed YouTube only going up to 480p on certain videos also and I made sure the limit data was off in the settings, not sure how to fix it.
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] fgr:
We don't fix it at this point. Maybe Samsung will release a patch (unless they know already and it's intentional)

or

When/if we get root it can be adjusted. Used to do it all the time on my older phones.

---------- Post added at 09:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:18 AM ----------

I DON'T want them to do this. My neighborhood doesn't have issues with theft (luckily) and there are lots of neighbors around that I know and trust. I would have missed the delivery of my phone if a signature would have been required.

Maybe make it an option you could select when you place your order.
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] Machinist guy:
This is not true. I was not home and they left it at my door.
