[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Ridl3y:
I think this is absolute bull****. How can they be sold out of the $99 bundle? I registered this morning when my phone came in and it allowed me to select the bundle option from the app. I'm now awaiting review. Does this mean I got it before it was sold out?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] LoliSmith:
Where are you seeing this?

EDITED - Ugh, I see it now:

"PLEASE NOTE: Due to high interest, we have sold out of our $99 fully immersive VR experiences."

I wonder if you got your registration in before that showed up on the website if you still have a chance.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] LoliSmith:
I am hoping if you got the option to select it that means you have a shot at getting it.

Thanks, yeah I see it now. I hope that if you were allowed to select it that means you can get it.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] FluxionFluff:
Awww man... that's what I'm hoping on.. T.T I was able to select it when I put my registration in, but derp... we'll find out later.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Ridl3y:
The phone wasn't supposed to be released until today. The fact that people were able to get their phones early, register, and lock out the other people who preordered is EXTREMELY annoying.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] zingzongzang:
Yeah this is total BS. I got my phone yesterday and today its sold out :|
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] LoliSmith:
On reddit they are saying that you can't even select it now. I feel bad for those on the West Coast.

---------- Post added at 01:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:51 PM ----------

Yeah, it is BS.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] zingzongzang:
I can only select the VR on the shop app now. Can't select the bundle.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] FluxionFluff:
Yeah... I definitely thing Samsung underestimated the number of people who'd pre-order, let along jump on the $99 bundle. If it weren't for the fact that Best Buy refused to let people pick up phones yesterday, I would have had my phone. But, I absolutely agree that it's BS.

OMG, yeah... D: That REALLY sucks for them. They have no shot at the bundle, unless there's a miracle. While I'm on the East Coast, doubt that's gonna help now. I just have to pray that whoever hasn't gotten the link to buy it and already put registration in, including myself, can maybe still get it. This has been such a chaotic mess.... -____-

---------- Post added at 02:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:59 PM ----------

D: I submitted mine about 3 hours ago and damn... that's just fast that it changed so quick from there. I don't even know if I can get the bundle, despite submitting it with it earlier. Blargh.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] ZiprLips:
If you preordered your phone through Samsung, you were able to select your bundle and pay for it while paying for the phone. I guess I'm lucky Best buy didn't have a deal with TMO or else I would be stuck like the rest of you guys. I am quite surprised they sold out already though. You'd think they'd have enough to last the weekend. Then again, preorder sales were much stronger than expected.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] jkao42:
I got mine submitted Wednesday around 5:30pm EST, confirmed Thursday around 6am, paid for it Thursday around 10am. Should be receiving it early next week. For those we did not get it due to it being sold out, I feel for you as the only reason I got mine was Sprint allowing me to pickup 2 days early.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] ZiprLips:
So Samsung just sent me tracking info on my shipment over 24 hours after I received my phone. The unfunny part is that the email claims that my imersive VR bundle was shipped along with my phone, when I only received my phone... On hold for 50 minutes now waiting to clear this up...

**UPDATE**

After waiting on hold for 2 hours I learned that Samsung made a shipping mistake, and sent me just the phone instead of the phone and full imersive bundle. Then the girl on the phone indicated they stopped taking orders for the imersive pack cause they had no more.

So, although I preordered on Sammy's website, and selected AND PAID FOR the imersive VR pack, I probably won't receive one. And to top it off, she could give me no further information than that she sent an email about the issue.

Samsung burned me with the N7, and now they burned me again with the S8. I am RAGING right now.

Submitted my promotion at 8:13pm EST yesterday just check the app to see mine was approved a few mins ago, clicked BUY and filled out all the info and order successful, dont know what sold out thing you guys are seeing but i didn't see it
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Tidbits:
I went through the shop app and was approved finally a few minutes ago. Follow the buttons and ordered the $99 bundle. Came out to 103 because of tax. Had the option to pay for 2 day but for some reason it would never stick no matter what I did.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] BarryH_GEG:
Weird. Mine had two day pre-checked and it was the only option.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Tidbits:
Probably because I am in Hawaii and it had like a $20 charge for 2 day which is worth it over waiting up to 2 weeks often as it is for stuff to come here.

Ok I see it now. It gives free 2 day. When I actually go on desktop view it shows more information.

I placed the order through my new phone, I paid for rush shipping and nothing arrived on Friday, on hold for 4 hours and no answers, my battery died. Cannot talk to no one as to why I did nor receive it. I'm leaving on vacation and wanted to take with, so much for extra pay to deliver by Friday the 21st.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] asphire23:
I got my S8 from tmo on the 20th and registered through the app immediately. Just received my Buy Now email and the order went through.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Majin101:
This is what mine says. No other email or any tracking info yet...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] microbespecialty:
I pre-ordered from Best Buy on 3/31. When I picked up the S8 on 4/21 the receipt from Best Buy showed the date as 4/21. I uploaded that receipt when I registered for the free gift. Anyone know if Samsung will know that the phone was pre-ordered and not simply bought on 4/21?

Has anyone submitted a receipt similar to my situation and had their registration for the free gift approved? Thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] denson9874:
When I got my pre order on the 19th, I immediately registered via Shop Samsung, took about a min or two. I did the pre order through T-Mobile CC, so I was email my receipt in PDF, so I uploaded that as verification. After approximately 48 hrs, I received my approval. About a day later I received tracking info with an ETA of Apr 25 by EOB.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Majin101:
Wow I ordered 4/19 it was approved and everything... Still no tracking info for me. Lucky you!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] wease:
Same for me, plus the $99 was removed from my account immediately. Seems to be no rhyme or reason with this shipping

I preorder mine and I got an email this morning saying I didn't qualify but I got it the 21 and preorder it on the 15th. I redid it today so I'll see what happens.

Man their service sucksssss. I've been on the line for like 52 mins. Still waiting. I want to find out what's going on with my order.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] FluxionFluff:
Nope, I got denied. They don't know that the phone is pre-ordered from that receipt. I assumed you had to use the one when you got the phone, but nope. They think that you just bought the phone on 4/21, even though you pre-ordered it.

I resubmitted using my pre-order confirmation from Best Buy, but I haven't heard back yet. I hope I don't get denied again... Ugh...

---------- Post added at 08:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:46 PM ----------

My status is still pending right now.

OMG, I actually called them yesterday... and I got hung up on. They apparently couldn't hear me, even though I had cell service. -___- So mad that I waited for over an hour. The first person I talked to heard me just fine, but I got redirected... and that's where I waited over an hour...

Has anyone tried contacting their support on Facebook?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Majin101:
Wow me too, I was on hold for like 30 mins and this rep answered. She said I have to transfer you to another department... Then that took like another 30 mins to wait. I gave up and just hung up. The live chat does nothing, they gave me the phone number to call. I've also sent an email which I was supposed to get a response within 24 hours. It's been 4 days

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] yuichiror:
Did the preorder from TMobile. Got the phone on 4/19. The next day, I decided I wanted the whole Infinitely Immersive package. The only receipt I had was an email. Printed out the email and took a pic on my phone. Tried several times to use the Samsung app to register my S8. Every time I tried to attach the pic of the email, the app would throw a generic network error. So I went to the Samsung website, registered phone, screwed myself and missed the Infinitely Immersive buy link. Spent a bunch of time on the phone and in chat, couldn't get a new link. The next morning I got a confirmation email from Samsung that my phone was verified and registered. The email included a link for Infinitely Immersive promo. Went through the buy process and right before I hit the "Buy Now" link, I noticed they wanted to charge me $500. So I closed the tab and hit the link in the email again and went through the buy process again. This time I got the correct price. Hit the Buy button and now waiting for my **** to get here. The charge for the promo items is still pending on my bank account.

TL;DR: Was a pain in the ass, but now waiting on shipping info from Samsung.

Gotcha I called Samsung and they aren't sure why but I didn't give them time to figure out. Just said okay and disconnected lol. Gonna keep 106 in my account just in case they come back for it.

Update: charge finally posted in my checking account lol shouldn't have calle d them haha oh well. Promo will be here tomorrow, will update with photos. Best of luck to guys who haven't gotten tracking info. Wish I knew what to do, but I did the same you all.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Majin101:
Give me a tracking number! Urggghhh
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] DaHoBO:
Got an e-mail from Samsung Tuesday, didn't read it until today, looks like my Immersive bundle will arrive tomorrow. Good luck all.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] FluxionFluff:
Oh, this is hilarious and thought you should all know this update. So, I thought that I missed out on the $99 bundle, even though I was able to select it when I originally submitted my info for the offer. BUT, turns out I was oh so wrong! I randomly decided to check the offer in the Shop Samsung app and I magically saw that I was able to see a link to purchase it.

Totally a WTF moment, for sure!! :eek: So, I was going through the checkout process and was gonna pay using Samsung Pay, and then... I accidentally closed the app, like an idiot. T.T When I went back in, the price jumped to $579...

I called Samsung last night and explained the whole situation and asked if they could send me a new code, because there's no way I'd want to pay $579 for the bundle. I got another email, but when I compared the two links on my laptop... It. Was. The. Same. Code. -___- I called just now and the woman I talked to said that several people have called in with the same issue, of the code not working.

I asked if I could buy it at $579 (plus tax) and they could refund me the difference as I don't wanna miss out on this opportunity (and I'll be even more pissed this time because I was THAT close to getting it). She said that several people had asked the same thing and she said that their supervisors said that they aren't allowed to give refunds like that because that's not how the promo works.

She said she escalated the issue to the people who send out the codes, since they're the only ones who give out codes. Should be getting a new code via email within 24-48 hours. other people have had the same problem, not just me, so that makes me feel slightly better, but I just hope it works out and I don't have to call... again, for a 3rd time for this issue. At least this rep gave me a ticket number as a reference if I have to call again.

This has been one crazy time with this offer.. Derp. D:

[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Boxylisher:
I am trying to create a master backup of my phone with all of my apps installed and set up the way I want them as a kind of master reference point that I can always go back to in case of problems. I had thought that the way to do this was to set everything up and then do a Nandroid backup from TWRP. However, when I restore it completely resets my system.

I have:

Oneplus 3

TWRP 3.1-0-0

lineage-14.1-20170413-nightly-oneplus3

I am also getting the annoying Dm-Verity message at boot. I have tried to kill it but for now, as it is only cosmetic, I will leave it.

I would appreciate any help.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Boxylisher:
I continue to research this and I have found this from the twrp.me web page.

"On most devices shipping with Android 6.0 or higher, the device maker has enabled dm-verity as a security measure. The device will signature check blocks of data on the system partition during boot at the block level. The usage of dm-verity prevents TWRP from being able to successfully restore a normal system backup. On most of these devices, you will see an option on the backup page for System Image. A system image backup takes up more space than a regular system backup, but the system image backup is a bit-perfect backup that, when restored, will not break dm-verity (assuming that you don't break dm-verity before making the backup). On a handful of devices, you may also find a Vendor and Vendor Image backup option. The same rules apply with regards to dm-verity. If you need a perfect "go back to completely stock" backup then you should be using System Image (and Vendor Image, when available) instead of just system."

So it sounds like if I make a more complete backup I should not have any issues. But my backups included everything possible to backup.

Still searching for answers.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Boxylisher:
OK. I just created a backup of a very basic (no apps installed) lineage install. Just creating (not restoring) the backup without flashing anything factory reset the phone.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] vinothkumarv:
Flash latest twrp (3.0.4-1). it'll solve your problem..
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Boxylisher:
Thanks vinothkumarv for the reply. I will go get it off twrp.me now. But while I do that, wouldn't TWRP 3.1-0-0 (the one that I am using) be newer than 3.0.4-1?
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Boxylisher:
twrp.me doesn't have 3.0.4-1 listed. A web search brings me to this page that indicates that it is a bug in recent versions of twrp. Another page has a couple of users saying that a modified "blue spark" twrp does not have this issue. I will do some experimenting and get back tomorrow.

Thank you vinothkumarv for the suggestion. I was barking up the wrong tree (thinking dm-verity was responsible) until your suggestion.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] vinothkumarv:
hi boxylisher, even i faced the same issue. if I enter twrp, it'll do reset my phone. after flashing this twrp, it resolved that issue.. you can also try this..
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] TNSMANI:
TWRP 3.1.0-0 is compatible with OOS but not with other ROMs. So you will have to use either jcadduono's or eng.stk's versions of TWRP which are compatible with both OOS and other ROMs.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] DollarStrawz:
dammit....I just flashed the right twrp rebooted recovery. did another backup deleted my old one then rebooted and phone is wiped factory reset. Its because I forgot to turn of screen security?!! dam...oh man...im bummed....... EDIT. It wiped my existing ROM. Im trying to restore the backup that I made with the correct TWRP fingers crossed. I never had any of these problems on my OP2 this phones kicking my ass!! it didnt work its wiped again fdam
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Boxylisher:
Hello Dollar, Yes I feel your pain. It's clearly a bug in TWRP. I am now using bluespark TWRP and everything is running the way it is supposed to.. I have Backed up and restored without this bug wiping my system. I have not set a password yet (and I won't until after I make another "master backup").

I'm missing stock Android. So much so I'm selling my S7 to get a Motorola.

Anyone here who prefer stock Android who gets by fine with the S7 (without a custom ROM or theme I mean :P)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] fullbloom:
A Motorola :laugh:. Nothing's that bad. A Pixel maybe. I like stock Android but don't prefer it to my current set up. If you don't like Touchwiz why not try an alternative?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Beanvee7:
Wouldn't survive if it weren't for Xposed + Good lock + Custom ROM
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Prosis:
I've had a Moto X Play before getting my S7. It's one of the best phones I've had. Although, if I could afford the Pixel that's what I'd get :P

I've yet to find a good stable trustworthy ROM especially when it comes to the camera. Also I don't want to trigger Knox so that if I sell it, if my buyer wants to have Samsung Pay, it's still available.

What ROM are you using?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Beanvee7:
Superman, very much TouchWiz but debloated and with Xposed modules I can rework it.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Prosis:
I'll be sticking with the S7 for now after all. Maybe it's because of the S8 but they're not that popular right now second hand. Oh well.

What do you do different on the Superman ROM than the stock ROM? I can't really understand the point of getting a custom ROM that ressembles TouchWiz. Also do you prefer stock Android?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Beanvee7:
It has a few minor tweaks built in, and removes all bloat apps, and lets you choose which Samsung apps you want - which I only kept the camera basically.

The main reason I use it is because it's pre-rooted and pre-xposed in one neat package, that's where most my customisation comes from. From there I can use xTouchWiz and GravityBox among other modules to bring it closer to stock. Other than the settings menu it more or less looks like stock android. I prefer stock Android, I always used close to stock android ROMs on my previous phones.

I also had my phone before the massive explosion of Nougat ROMs. The only ROMs were TouchWiz ROMs, I had to flash something to debloat and Superman was the best offering. I would go for a Nougat ROM, but they seem to still be working out the kinks, and Xposed isn't officially on Nougat yet.

Darth Cookie S7 Snapdragon as Daily Driver

I'm not that hooked on Xposed that I can't do without it (though I came from AOSP). Before the S7, I ran a Galaxy Nexus on VZW; my S7 is on the UnCarrier side of Tracfone today. (Yes - you read the title correctly - I actually have the AT&T Mobility "Darth Cookie" beta firmware on my ex-VZW S7, and it runs quite nicely, thank you - in fact, it's not going anywhere until T-Mobile releases proper Oreo firmware - SE9 and all.) It's faster than stock, and it's faster than L7 v. 4 - which it replaced - therefore, unless I absolutely have to, I have absolutely no reason to fire it. I have been rusing and abusing the firmware as I've gotten more and more comfortable; in particular, I've been extremely swap-happy with Darth Cookie - anywhere from eight to twelve(!) apps have been in my rota; with stock N, I was lucky to be comfortable with three. So I have beta firmware from one carrier on a phone originally from a second carrier, but is actually on a third carrier using the towers of a fourth - yet nary a complaint.
