They'll run your card to make sure the card is valid and funds are available, then it will drop off in a couple of days, just like most preorders.. I'm extremely skeptical these devices are actually available.. These are preorders we're placing, not actually orders for in stock devices, well that were in stock when I ordered it this morning. I wonder when they're going to come out and admit it, or do they plan on dragging this out until next week? Don't get me wrong, I really want to believe the ship date of 17-24, but that in and of itself throws red flags. If they actually had it, I would have been told to expect it tomorrow, just like any other device I've ordered and paid for overnight shipping on... They've extended the ship date range out so long that it covers the remainder of this week.. Again, pretty shady and if I weren't expecting my Pixel XL on Thurs-Fri I'd be pissed right now...

---------- Post added at 06:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:09 PM ----------

That's utter BS, the phone has to go through T-Mobile to get assigned it's IMEI and linked to your account, only way around that is to purchase it at full retail price directly from LG, then provide that information to T-Mobile. Which is the route I took on my Pixel... But if you're "Jumping" it's got to come from T-Mobile..
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] bambam126:
Or jumping just upgrade I'm just going by what was told we will find out tomorrow and if you had a note 7 and had to get another phone mention it cause they will waive the restocking fee
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] vinyl3131:
Yea that's what I thought too. In fact, the dude at the store said you wont see anything charged to your card until shipping. And I've never seen a pre-authorization charge for the full amount. It's usually like a dollar or something small.

That said, no one at T-Mobile seems to know their ass from their elbow. The chick I spoke to on the phone this morning to preorder said to go to the store because they already had then in stock. Needless to say, she was wrong hard.

When I got to the store, the guy looked at me like I was retarded. Lol
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] douger1957:
I don't see why it's not possible that the US carriers have their own stock on this phone today. Whether they're prepared to ship today is another issue. I don't know if LG has embargoed the phone not to ship before a certain date. They might do that if their advertising campaign is set to build an anticipation level.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] vagelis:
Ordered online at 11pm PST, have tracking already...not sure what to make of it, but whatever it's worth...

Free T-Mobile Msg: Your T-Mobile order has processed. Please allow up to 48 hours to track your shipment. Tracking # 1Z3VXXXXXXXXXXXX (obviously not my tracking posted here)
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Steve Lazarus:
Yeah, that sure sounds like they're shipping.. Only caveat to that is .... During the Note 7 preorder period they issued us tracking numbers and sat on the phone an additional 5 days
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] vinyl3131:
Here what it's showing on T-Mobile's site. I'm guessing that's the final charge?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] StaticMoot:
Well, my account definitely was charged for the order. Just checked my bank account. So I'm assuming the phone will ship out tomorrow since it's 5pm PST now. Here's hoping.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] douger1957:
Mine's similar. They banged me for a $20 upgrade charge which I'm told will be credited when I turn in the Note 7. And they've debited my account.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] CHH2:
Awww man :( My order says it was placed at 8:31am and I've still seen nothing.

And T-mobile customer service has gone waaaay downhill since I've last had to interact with them. Uncarrier my rear end. They've gone completely carrier in their customer service.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] KOLIOSIS:
Placed my order via Customer Care/TeleSales (1-844-275-9309,number given for Note7 returns/Customer Care),everything went off w/o so much as a hiccup:

Got JOD started again,$20 activation fee waived & free overnight shipping,both in the form of a bill credit on the next billing cycle.

Estimated shipping date given 10/17-10/24,Customer Care agent assured me that the system showed as in-stock,perhaps comes out of a different pool of phones than websales,

IDK what else could explain the difference given in ship dates reported here & elsewhere as back-ordered.

Guess we'll all find out soon enough,might as well take a deep breath & chill in the meantime....................... :cool:

Just pre ordered mine too.

Just pre ordered mine today, I couldn't take advantage of the free b&o headset. Apparently my note 7 isn't eligible for trade in, go figure. She did throw in pair of Beats for free, so she says. Hopefully I should be receiving by the 24th. Had to settle for the titanium color tho.

Just wondering does it have 32gb or 64 idk what I ordered lol anyone know ?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] MadHatter01:
I paid for overnight shipping. Did anyone who's v20 shipped have overnight shipping?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] probablecauzdnb:
i was told by a rep just a little while ago he sees no where written for the tablet promotion that you have to keep that $10 line open after you receive the tablet (he even doubled check just in case). i was going to cancel mine because i would only use the tablet at home on wifi but he assured me i can cancel that line as soon as i get the tablet
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] probablecauzdnb:
i have overnight shipping. told them i was a long time customer and also that i had to deal with the note 7 fiasco and they just credited my account the $24 overnight fee.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] MadHatter01:
Same here on the Note 7 issue. I am just trying to figure out if I ordered it within 8 mins of launch, why have I not got a tracking number?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] mgymnop:
64GB
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] probablecauzdnb:
i ordered mine on the phone at 12 am. the rep actually had to refresh twice before he even saw the phone available. i don't have a tracking either.

.edit: just checked my account again and now it shows shipped with a tracking number included!!!!!
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] bambam126:
Alright guys got a tracking number and it says delivery date 10/18 yes! Ordered from tmobile this morning
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] bambam126:

[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Intub8:
Mine is also scheduled for today! Too bad I wasn't expecting if for at least a week. No screen protector or case yet lol.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] zainqaiser:
Did u also pay for overnight shipping? Anyone with ground shipping got any tracking info?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] mingkee:
You can use screen protector for V10 though it's a bit shorter to fit V20.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] probablecauzdnb:
very nice!!!! i have my tracking number but it hasn't actually been shipped yet. hopefully mine goes out tomorrow and will have it by wed/thur

Phone is on the truck to be delivered today in St Petersburg, FL. I ordered at 6 am EST through the website yesterday.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] AhsanU:
Interesting.. I checked the order status last night, no update.

I checked it right now and it shows that the phone is on back order. Well, guess I'll be waiting!
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] flipovich:
I tried to pay for overnight, but after purchase completion it only did the standard for some reason...I got my tracking number late last night, but the UPS site still says pending pickup :-/ hopefully it's not the week long wait before UPS gets the package like the Note 7's were...

Will update whenever the UPS site gives me an estimated delivery. I ordered through the Web at about 0600 CST yesterday, BTW.

---------- Post added at 12:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:36 PM ----------

I spoke to 2 different phone reps and the Facebook chat reps and they all said the same thing to me about being required to keep the data connection for 2 years, so kind of upset about the bad info...maybe I'll try again or just go in-store and see if they'll just give me one, lol :)
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] HtcOnekid:
Order last night and getting it today
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] CHH2:
I've got nothing so far. Still says order is processing. :( There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to how they're shipping these?

[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] ElBeaner:
Went to Tmobile store yesterday at 11am CST, placed my preorder, got my IMEI number this morning and online shows tracking information (having phone shipped to store so I can go on lunch and pick it up)

Tracking info shows label created, not at UPS yet
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] CHH2:
Yeah, see, this is weird. I ordered at 1030 cst and nothing. And still having issues and run arounds with Tmo support.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] probablecauzdnb:
just checked again and now mine says on truck for delivery for today!!!!! man can wait to have this bad boy in my hand. wasn't expecting it till the end of the month. already ordered a glass screen protector. just need to get a case and i am set
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] ElBeaner:
What glass protector did you order? I've ordered a case on Amazon, but not many of the glass protectors have reviews(credible) to determine if it will be good.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] bambam126:
Got it my lg v20 has been delivered!
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] probablecauzdnb:
lol just kinda picked one at random on ebay, pretty much all the ones listed right now are generic brands. so i am just gonna use it until some really good ones come out.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] ElBeaner:
Ordered Supershieldz one that someone recommended and then ordered another 3 pack one for $8 to test out as well. Apparently the top/bottom of the screen are a bit rounded which affects the protectors(needs to be one that doesn't cover the second screen or the LG logo.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] CHH2:
So T-Mobile customer service is trying to feed me a line that no T-mobile customers are being shipped their phone yet. You know, despite the obvious screen captures and all you guys are posting. I've never seen the CS's at T-mo this bad.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] DroidRC1:
Photos?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Amd4life:
mine is scheduled for delivery tomorrow-even though I paid for overnight. oh well, at least its before the end of the month. I wonder if I can get my $25 back through customer service

for those that have received them, can you please check to see if the required fastboot commands are present.

[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] MadHatter01:
I got screwed over. I place my order 7 mins after it went live. Mine didnt ship. I called them and they gave me the run around. Only after 6 hours on the phone did they find they messed up on my order (they wont tell me what). They say they will make it right, but I didnt get my phone today. Plus I lost my place in line. I am pretty mad at them.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] drksilenc:
Aww i ordered at noon yesterday and i still have being processessed... no tracking or imei yet..
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] mgbotoe:
Lmao done
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] CHH2:
I ordered mine at 1030 cst (system shows 830, guessing that's Seattle time) and decided to call up and check to make sure nothing was wrong since people who ordered after I did in the same time zone by the same method seem to have shipping details. (And T-force on FB is useless.) They said my initial shipment information was 10/17-10/24 but they showed a note afterwards that said 11/8. The idea of a pre-order seems to be lost on the reps.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] StaticMoot:
Well, UPS just dropped off a delightful package to my house. I now have a T-Mobile LG V20 in hand... I'm honestly a little shocked. The phone is really nice. It's way lighter than it looks and feels really premium. I'm still playing with it, but for all of you who like a dark theme, LG's new theme manager does not disappoint. I've already installed a black theme and the whole interface gets themed. I'll update with more impressions as time goes on.

Genuinely going to sound dumb here and I'm not ashamed to admit that. How do I find this out?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] planetbeen:
Honestly... I'm not experienced enough to tell you.

I know first step is to go to developer options in settings and check the enable oem unlock box.

However after that... I think you need to have adb installed on your computer because the command to unlock is sent from there.

What I do know is that unlocking wipes the phone... (like factory reset) so whoever is going to check it needs to know that so they don't wipe everything out after having set all their stuff up.

Is the T-Mobile version rootable? And is the bootloader unlockable?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] kxhaz:
I ordered mine yesterday around 7 AM. The rep told me that the phone was already back ordered and they are showing it would be shipped out between Nov 19th and Dec 14th. I did not believe them and it was not the end of the world as I am on a replacement phone (G5) from my Note 7 until they come anyway.

Well about an hour later I get my order confirmation and it shows a shipping date of 10/17 to 10/24. Then I get a text message for returning my JOD device by 11/14. Then around 3:00 yesterday I got my UPS tracking number. I got excited but then remembered that I got my Note 7 tracking number and it took 4 days to actually start being shipped. Well earlier today I checked (I was showing someone how the Google screen search worked with the tracking on the e-mail and it showed up as coming in by the end of the day on Thursday.

So much for them being back ordered yesterday morning.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] CHH2:
Yeah, I got the email saying it would ship between 10/17-10/24 but now I'm being told they are out and I shouldn't expect it to ship until at least 11/8. I'm pretty p.o.'d at T-mobile for all of the run around the reps have been handing out up until now. Went so far as to fire off a letter to Legere. (Although, I'm under no illusion that he actually gets them.)

Nevermind. Someone claims that Tmobile's bootloader is unlockable.

https://www.reddit.com/r/lgv20/comments/583xei/tmobile_shipped_my_lg_v20_today/d8xhyhv

I know that even if a device bootloader is unlocked, it doesnt make it automatically able to be rooted. However, is probably the first barrier that one has to be able to break, and if no device has unlocked bootloader then chances of rooting is 0%. I think i will be placing my order today :cool:

I can't say it's not a perk from being with T-mobile since their Voicestream days, but it should be free for everyone pre-ordering .
