It's okay, it arrived!! It was under one of the chairs we have on the porch... It was in a small made to fit shipping box so it was hard to notice... I appreciate the free next day shipping and handling for us locals, but for something this expensive we never got that second email telling us that our phone had shipped or provided a tracking number for that matter. I wonder if it's the same for those that bought those huge pricey televisions... Someone stole one of my Amazon Prime packages a few weeks ago, it was cat food, but I've been cautious ever since lol

Anyway, this phone is fantastic, everything including the box screams quality, especially the earbuds, no pun intended!! They even light up... Well except the flimsy transparent phone case, you'd definitely want to buy a proper one.

Ours just got here today as well. Pleasantly surprised; definitely well built.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Guides, News, & Discussion] rickyx32:
My first impressions are pretty much the same as the YouTube reviewers out there. It's a great hardware package, nothing cheap about it, it's a very solid well built phone. The OS is a tiny bit sluggish even, then again I'm using an overclocked OnePlus 3 with a much more refined kernel and OS, and the Pro3 just came out, so we should give LeEco time. Besides that my only other gripe is with the whole bezel within a bezel nonsense, it gives you the impression that your phone is packing a 5.7 inch screen, because the black bezels fit exactly with 5.7 inches. The panel itself is good for an LCD, better quality than the one on my OnePlus One but I definitely prefer the Super AMOLED on my OnePlus 3. The non sticker tramp stamp with the trashcan, model number, made in China, and FCC ID information is also unfortunate design wise.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Guides, News, & Discussion] toanau:
Just received mine. Don't make the same mistake like me. There is a screen protector underneath the protector sheet
[LeEco Le Pro3 Guides, News, & Discussion] whoamanwtf:
Do you mean it came installed and you accidentally peeled it off?
[LeEco Le Pro3 Guides, News, & Discussion] NiHaoMike:
Just got mine, as a note, be very careful when you remove the protective film on the front. Otherwise, the screen protector comes off with the film and you'll have a fun time trying to press out all the bubbles.

It also heats up noticeably when charging, so a fan to keep it cool is a good idea. I just set it in front of a low power 120mm fan (the one I use to keep my altcoin mining phones/tablets cool) and then it stays cool to the touch.

EDIT: I see that some other user did the same.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Guides, News, & Discussion] toanau:
Yeah it came installed.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Guides, News, & Discussion] whoamanwtf:
I will at least learn from your mistake, mine comes tomorrow it finally gave me a tracking number I guess I am a little further away from a depot.

Hey to you all that have your phone now, how does it run games? Does it get hot? Any lag? Can you try like the new Asphalt, or HIT?
[LeEco Le Pro3 Guides, News, & Discussion] hondajohn88:
I'm glad you got it. I never got the second shipping notice email either, but texting it on FedEx worked.

I agree with you about the quality & packaging... Very nice.

I think I may have peeled my screen protector off like one of the other folks on here lol whoops

Enjoy! :)
[LeEco Le Pro3 Guides, News, & Discussion] rickyx32:
Damn it, I peeled off my screen protector too!! Didn't even notice it was supposed to have one until I read the comments just now...

Noticeably warm, then again I've gotten used to my OnePlus 3 not getting warm because of the dash charger, and the Pro3's fingerprint scanner is near the SoC, I never touch that part of my OnePlus 3.

Something I notice is that the Dolby Atmos is a little underwhelming compared to the one found on the LeMax 2, which my OnePlus 3 uses, doesn't have the extra options either.

If the bezels don't bother you, then clearly this is the best phone you can get for $300 here in the states. Most of the gripes I have are software based, so hopefully they'll get sorted out or development here on XDA takes of because of it's price. Honestly, it should stay priced at $300, because at $400 the OnePlus 3 and Axon 7 are superior.

Just out of curiousity to the people receiving things early... Have any of you tried unlocking the bootloaders and rooting the device? What's your success rate with it, is it unlocked like the chinese model?
[LeEco Le Pro3 Guides, News, & Discussion] rickyx32:
Would doing that void the warranty? I know that you're allowed to with OnePlus, they do have community builds and all. There's no way to reverse the tamper flags on this device that we know...
[LeEco Le Pro3 Guides, News, & Discussion] dr4stic:
No idea... getting information on "the warranty" through their website is questionable at best. For sure it would ruin your chances to return the device within the 2 week return period (modifications not allowed within the return period). Best I can tell, if you don't maintain access to the "EcoPass" your warranty doesn't extend past 3 months. Even with EcoPass, you have to maintain it for 6 months consecutively before you can make claims on it's warranty. I think legally you should get at least 1 year with parts, but probably not free servicing in that case. Any money on this device to send it back and have it serviced will likely be more than it's worth since I've never seen that sorta thing for less than $125.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Linux23:
3 days and still at the warehouse for me. They got my money already so not sure what the holdup is. Anyone elses order still stuck at the warehouse?
[LeEco Le Pro3 Guides, News, & Discussion] stasio02:
I got the "your phone has shipped" and tracking email 3 hours after the phone was delivered and my order info still says "delivery pending". So I have a feeling your phone may be on its way.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Linux23:
Hope so bro. Be nice if their system was working properly so people know when to expect their phones. I'll be patient though. Barely. Lol
[LeEco Le Pro3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ascertion:
It looks like people on the East coast will be receiving their devices on Tuesday. Another user here and I are both in Florida and we're getting the device on Tuesday.

I have a feeling they will change their tune just like Apple did when they replaced my jailbroken phone's volume buttons.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Guides, News, & Discussion] suhridkhan:
This is a totally false information, about the requirement of EcoPass. EcoPass subscription is necessary only if you want to extend the warranty beyond one year.

http://www.lemall.com/us/user/faq/detail.html?id=406&c=5&subc=2&title=After-sales services

You are probably right about device modification. I see some vague answers from LeEco staffs about this part.

One thing we need to keep in mind that, although they are based in China, for them to be able to do business in USA, they have to obey the US consumer protection laws. If they don't honor their warranty claim, you can totally sue them.

One thing I would recommend is that, if you want your voice heard, post your comments/concerns in the LeEco USA forum. LeEco staffs are quite active there. Convince them to release the source. Pressure them to release a roadmap to update. Express your concern about security update.

order just went into shipping state so since i'm in Jersey it should be here no later than Wednesday. the wait continues. :)
[LeEco Le Pro3 Guides, News, & Discussion] hondajohn88:
I tried using fastboot oem unlock and also fastboot flashing unlock. Both resulted in fail. It's possible we need a tool similar to Xiaomi phones.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Guides, News, & Discussion] rickyx32:
Wait, you telling me that we don't have the source!? Fuuuuuck... Man, I get the feeling that this forum will be nothing but tumbleweeds and noobs asking about the source, Android 8 updates, why nobody is developing for this phone before long... I thought we had the source and branch already... I can't root this phone either without the warranty... Damn, okay, so according to their site we can return the phone for a refund if "defective" within 30 days in California and 15 days everywhere else? It looks like OnePlus will reveal the 3T on the 14th of November, I already got an RMA for my OnePlus 3, so I'll use the Pro3 as a placeholder until the 3T comes out. This is what I get for buying things on impulse...
[LeEco Le Pro3 Guides, News, & Discussion] HewettBR:
I thought we had source as well. I pulled the source from lecos site. I still have it not sure if it would be of any help. I know there was another link up with the same file as well.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Guides, News, & Discussion] suhridkhan:
Here is a good bit, and I like it. You can return it, within 30/14 days, let's say, you didn't like the device. LeEco will even cover the return shipping.

http://www.lemall.com/us/user/faq/detail.html?id=303&c=5&subc=0&title=After-sales services

So, test it for this period as much as you want. If it doesn't suit you, return it. Just make sure you have the packaging and accessories intact.

Looks like LeEco is trying hard to win the US customers. that's why I am willing to give them a chance. But they have to prove that they deserve it.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Guides, News, & Discussion] ericerk:
Here's my direct chat w/ them about warranty and bootloaders:
[LeEco Le Pro3 Guides, News, & Discussion] dr4stic:
Do you people not have the source? It was posted "accidentally" a week or two ago, many downloaded it. Source is not the problem. Bootloader unlocking is the problem.

As for the warranty, I can only go by what I dug up on the website. If you have links for the full north american warranty, I'd very much appreciate you posting them because I'm curious to see all of the terms.

---------- Post added at 01:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:19 PM ----------

This is very unfortunate if true. I guess I'm gonna wait till monday to see if others report the same. If this is indeed true, I'll likely refuse shipment and send it back. I've been working on assembling a kernel source package for cm for the last week, but I'm not going to deal with this thing if the bootloader is locked. For the price it simply isn't worth it.

[LeEco Le Pro3 Guides, News, & Discussion] dr4stic:
You're right... FOR THE CHINESE DEVICE!!!! The US device may very well be different. Manufacturers do this.

They also didn't get a copy of the kernel sources. Those were only "released" for the US version and there's every expectation that the US version could be bootloader locked. So I really want to see confirmations from people with the US version that the bootloader can be unlocked.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tikerz:
Did you try "fastboot oem unlock-go" as used on the Chinese Pro3 to unlock bootloader?

[LeEco Le Pro3 Guides, News, & Discussion] rshyffer:
I tried "fastboot oem unlock-go" and it doesn't work. Says "FAILED (remote: oem unlock is not allowed)". There is a setting in developer options called "OEM unlocking - Allow the bootloader to be unlocked", but it doesn't seem to do anything.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Linux23:
It goes back if I can't unlock and root. Period.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Guides, News, & Discussion] suhridkhan:
True. Having custom rom is optional, but it has to be rootable. Otherwise I am also sending back.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Guides, News, & Discussion] ExTREmE99:
try this, i dont have mine yet, but this is the general nexus way of going about

1. enable usb debugging

2. plug phone into computer, start minimal adb and fastboot, type "adb devices"

3. accept the usb debugging request on your phone

4. enable OEM unlocking in developer options

5. reboot into fastboot

6. try the command "fastboot devices", if good try "fastboot oem unlock" or "fastboot oem unlock-go"
[LeEco Le Pro3 Guides, News, & Discussion] whoamanwtf:
Well alright then... Apparently FedEx has lost my phone, they said it is very unusual for a package to not be scanned for 36 hours and they may have to file a claim when they are done researching it on the 17th...

Received mine today. So far it is impressive for the price.

Photos seem to be right there with the OP3 untill you get to low light, lack of OIS shows. You can still get acceptable photos though (quite a loss in detail).

Speakers are surprisingly loud. Seems like there is a fair amount of bass

Performance seems pretty top notch - UI will take some getting used to. 1080p looks fine on it.

Black borders are pronounced but ill get over them

Fingerprint sensor - quick so far with no issues.

Screen is responsive to touches, although the cheap PET screen protector makes your finger drag.

I am normally very lazy to read long warranty statements. You are welcome if you can go through and find some applicable information. What I said earlier was based on a forum discussion from a LeEco staff. The real warranty statement would of course be a more reliable source.

I guess we can only wait and see if any unlock procedure gets made. Then we need recovery, then the development can start

Will probably have to request a unlock code via imei, similar to xiaomi/huawei
[LeEco Le Pro3 Guides, News, & Discussion] rickyx32:
I'll wait for the dust to settle, which will have to happen while the no hassle return policy is active, but I'm not keeping a device if LeEco doesn't want you to root it, and they sure as hell won't release the source if they don't even want you to unlock the bootloader... I rather pay the extra $100 for a OnePlus 3 which is ultimately superior and has a spectacular developer community and supportive brand behind it.

[LeEco Le Pro3 Guides, News, & Discussion] benjmiester:
I think it's a little soon to make that decision personally. For one, there's nothing really all that much better out there IMO. You're just trading for a nice vanilla ui (which is everything to some, but I haven't found anything I can't get used to with emui myself considering the offset for price and specs). My suggestion would be to wait at least a few weeks or so and see what crops up. Root finds a way on pretty every device ever one way or another. They might also just want to keep people locked down until their free 3 months of LeBloat run out. Also maybe somebody will be able to get systemless working? That was the only way to do it on the S6 for a short while at first, I think. Samsung were total A-holes about root and rom action on that phone but root came around pretty quick. Still were locked out of AOSP roms though last I looked in that section.
