I paid for mine on the 22nd and received a confirmation email. Haven't heard anything since... :(

Same day I got my phone, the 19th after approval.

Bought S8 through T-mobile and got the $99 bundle from Samsung. Shipped through Fedex and just got a shipment confirmation for 4/28/2017
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] jitterjuga:
Mine just arrived. Setting up the VR now. Glad my purchase went through. I never received any confirmation emails, shipping notices or anything. In fact, my redemption status still says processing, and I have no orders showing up on my account. I haven't checked my card for a charge yet.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Majin101:
Mine just got delivered. Can't wait to go home!

Did you do premium package? If so, how's the headphones?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] jitterjuga:
Well, I attempted to get them going. Got them paired with my phone but I can seem to get any audio from them. I put them aside for now and will mess with them later.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Majin101:
Ah, sometimes you have to click on the device Bluetooth setting and have it connected w/media. Or just disconnect and reconnect.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] km8j:
Samsung says the $99 bundles are 4-5 weeks delayed now.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] ProStreetCamaro:
Got mine today. Awesome!

Where are you getting this information?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Majin101:
Well good thing mine got delivered before that happened!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Dark_shadow70:
mine will be here tomorrow, ordered on the 20th, got the email late last night, Atlanta Georgia here, the $99 dollar package
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] ggrant3876:
Just came, boy it sure is PURTY.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] srkrono:
I also would like to know where this info came from?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] dknow101:
Wow...almost everyone i know ordered after me and has got the item, or has been given a tracking number for this 99/free bundle. I ordered on the 19th for the 99 and have called samsung probably 3 times (very long hold times) with no update.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] komugi:
I registered on the 20th, paid for it on the 22 or 23rd. Received the tracking yesterday, will be getting it tomorrow (28th)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] srkrono:
Same here :(
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] scoobrel:
Did the charge stay on your card?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] seawolf823:
Got my $99 bundle today! Ordered and paid for on the 19th.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] jitterjuga:
Don't lose hope man. Like I said, I got mine today, and it still says its processing on the website. The app just takes me to the order page (but at the full $570 price). I've never gotten an email confirming my order or anything, but it all went through ok. Hopefully works out the same for you.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Phayesone:
When did you get approved & when did you place your order?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] buddie024:
Did your charge ever drop from your account? My transaction disappeared from account as if I was never charged.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] VaderSS:
I received my S8 on the 19th and registered for the bundle that evening. I received my link and purchased the bundle on the evening of the 20th. I just received a shipping confirmation showing the bundle has been picked up and is to be delivered by the evening of 5/2

I don't remember ever seeing a charge to my card, though I didn't look for it. There still isn't one.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] xenonflux:
Thought it was just me, dont know if i should be happy or sad but like some here i dont see $100 charge anymore on my account. Called samsung and gave the order number, guy said its not in transit yet but they should ship the package today. Ordered on 21st, no tracking info yet, site says processing gift.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] srkrono:
Ordered mine on the 21st also so here's to hoping mine ships soon
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] The Root:

Still no info on my bundle, thinking a call to Samsung would be a waste of time....
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] J-Hop2o6:
Just call (Promotions Dept) and ask if everything is ok. If yes, then it'll come.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] srkrono:
Didn't know they had that department, thanks I'll try that then!!!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] woodydog:
I got the free vr yesterday. Took about 30min to put together and install apps. I used it for 30min not very impressed. I uninstalled all the apps and don't think I'll ever use it again.

Yup, call them. Might take awhile, but just need the didn't on while doing something.

Same here, approved and ordered early on the 21st and this morning they refunded my money

Wait how can they be delayed when they only had 50,000 of Them? What they didn't even stock 1,000 of them?!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] golgothagecko:
Did anyone notice that their promotion status changed? Mine went from approved to reviewing. I still have my order placed.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] agrafixman:
Confirmed but not received

Ordered on 4/25. Order is CONFIRMED, but no tracking number and nothing received.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] srkrono:
Mine changed also, it's so annoying, probably gonna be returning my S8 and going back to my iPhone 7 Plus, too many issues with this phone
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] SeanForester:
What bundle are you all referring to? I was told when I bought my phone a few days ago at a local AT&T store that I would get a FREE Samsung VR. Have no clue how to claim that. Any ideas? I might actually start a thread for additional help..
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] srkrono:
Go to promotions.samsung.com, you have to submit your proof of purchase
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] SeanForester:
Ok, I found it. However I purchased this on Friday April 28th but the date would only go up to April 20th...plus i need a pic of my receipt. Not prepared at the moment...Thanks tho
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] srkrono:
Finally now it says gift debt, but still have not received a tracking number, and when I look in the shop Samsung app it's tells me registration currently under review...your killing me Samsung
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] audis4-348:
Same exact problem I'm having, I spoke to CS today and all they would tell me is that there on backorder
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] srkrono:
Mine says "Congratulations! Your submission has been approved and your gift has been processed." tho, so that tells me its shipped
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] audis4-348:
Yup exactly what mine says also and she still said it was on back order so I wouldn't get your hopes up if I were you

Received mine this afternoon. Can always make use of a large sd card; will move my smaller 200gb card over to my Lenovo tablet. Initial impression of the AKG bluetooth headset is very good and the VR will be fun for the kids. Overall, it's a nice value.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] J-Hop2o6:
Just received my $99 PKG today. The AKG BT Headphones sound great, and feel great on the ears. The GearVR took awhile to setup. Gotta DL and install things, then sign up. Make sure your read the startup guide that's inside the controller box. Pics below. Anyone know where you get the free games?

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] audis4-348:
They should ship out when they get more in, the CS rep said she had no idea when that would be so fingers crossed it's sooner rather than later!! I still can't understand how they ran out of stock already tho
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] J-Hop2o6:
Oh sh*t! The black envelope was sorta hidden in the big box. It was standing up along the wall of the blue box. Thanks for the response!

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] xenonflux:
Just received the tracking number for Friday delivery!! Below is the quick summary of whole process for those wondering if they are gonna get the bundle or not:

- April 19th: Received my phone, registered for the bundle.

- It was approved the same night and the status on samsung site changed to gift sent the same time without even receiving the link to buy the bundle.

- April 20th: The status changed to gift processing, still no link to purchase .

- April 21st: Finally, received the link and placed the order for the bundle.

- April 28th: Charge disappeared from my cc account (lost my hope).

- Fast forward to today, May 3rd: Received tracking number for Friday delivery. Still no charge on my cc account.

Looks like today is the day!

Lots of people are getting tracking numbers for a Friday delivery.

Got mine a couple of hours ago.

Woo-hoo.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] VaderSS:
They attempted to deliver mine yesterday, but it has indirect signature required so it should be delivered today. Irritating actually, indirect signature required, but no option to pre-sign, and no option to have it held at Fedex for pickup. My phone was delivered with no signature required.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] srkrono:
That's why I usually get stuff shipped to my work, my apartment is so hard to get into and we've had packages disappear randomly
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] audis4-348:
Yea I was wondering about that cause you cant sign for it online, so does that mean someone has to be home to sign for it?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] km8j:
How do you get the Oculus bundle of software with the $99 kit? Like where do you get the software licenses?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Majin101:
They give you a gift card/scratcher which is an activation code. You get to choose between a game bundle or or entertainment bundle. I went with the game bundle.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] The Root:
I took the gaming bundle. The disappointing part is if you got the bundle with the S6, there's a repeat title in each bundle. There are also 1 or 2 I'll never use.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] VaderSS:
They leave a form you can sign absolving them of responsibility.

I don't understand why it can't be held at the fedex office. I'd have it shipped to work, but our shipping department is less than optimal...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] audis4-348:

Wow, seriously FedEx?! It's at my local FedEx facility "not due for delivery" so it's just sitting there and I can't even pick it up. FedEx is the worst, this is why I only ever use ups or USPS!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] adam2289:
So I got my shipping notice yesterday for $99 dollar bundle but didn't see any charges till this morning. They finally charged me after it dropped off once so be aware that they will more than likely charge you still
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] xenonflux:
Got mine today (a day early) :D
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] bjl95mustang:
Mine was delivered yesterday to the wrong house. Apparently my FedEx app is defaulted to automatically drop with no signature. I got home an hour after it said delivered. Not there. Checked my camer and never delivered. Checked a few neighbors porches with nothing. Called FedEx and they started a case. The local hub rep called me and gave me the exact address it was delieved too. Apparently they track gps data when it's scanned as delivered. The person who accepted it though it was her neighbors package because he has the same first name as me. It was sitting just inside her front door.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] srkrono:
Thanks mine finally showed up this morning
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] dknow101:

OK...I got screwed. Now samsung promotion rep said they have no record of me purchasing the bundle. and i have no charge on my paypal to prove it.

I have a reference number that shows all the issues i had from trying to purchase it through their website and now i have to deal with tier 3 samsung team about this issue. more headaches. gees my luck.

1st email from them about purchasing the bundle sent you to their site with a cart being empty issue.

2nd email worked and i was able to purchase from their website with paypal. (4/20)

and all the calls i have made with no one telling anything till now. wow. drinking till monday. starting.........now.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] buddie024:
I finally received mine 2 days ago and it freaking rocks! Only reason I upgraded to the s8 from my note 4 was because I wanted a smoother experience with my gear vr and I am happy with the results. The controller is hella cool and the headphones sound and feel great. The 256gb micro sd card is also pretty cool and is now loaded with music and movies. I chose to use the oculus code to redeem the gaming bundle instead of the entertainment bundle and I think that was a good choice. To those who haven't received the bundle yet, I hope you do and quick!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] 954wrecker:
What's the best number to reach this tier 3 promotional support?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] dknow101:
It was email not from the phone. Which was just as bad as being on hold since they get back to you after a day or 2. I will put the email on here when I get home later tonight

Just got my bundle ......finally
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] AT&Tsucks:
I contacted customer support and told them about why I haven't got free gear VR, the guy at phone said he will ordered and give me email confirmation, I received email for 99 bundle instead of free gear VR but I also wanted to get $99 bundle, how can I get $99 bundle when in fact it's already ended. So I thought im very lucky. it has been processed and it will notify once it's shipped. The problem is that I don't see any charge on card. And I haven't got any email from them. I called again and another person said thar team is thinking what to do with order. I guess I have play the waiting game. Sorry my bad English.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] 954wrecker:
Yes Samsung.com is a trainwreck. I have a code they provided for wasting my time in April and now in May it doesn't work it takes the order but they never go through. Way to go samsung wasting my time again in May.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] AT&Tsucks:
I agree Samsung customer support sucks and also there warranty is trash. I couldn't replace my S7 edge at T-Mobile because I didn't it bought it from them. I had to ship the phone to one of their facility which took two weeks to get fixed.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] dknow101:
ok well i guess tier 3 did not fix my issue. just recieved this email from them(even though i did get my bundle today)

If you have any additional questions or concerns, please let me know.

Samsung Tier III

Thank you!

So not sure if factory reset fix the samsung app glitch with my order. or someone else from support fixed my issue.

well at least i got my bundle and don't have to deal with support anymore:highfive:
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Turnkeys:
I received my bundle just over a week ago. The biggest hassle was glitches with the samsung app to redeem the promo, and moronic FedEx drivers. (Kind of like Comcast, knock once while you're in the shower, and promptly leave.)

Conversely, I've had to resubmit my g'friend's (non-premium) promo 3 times. I'm still waiting on an e-mail from an elevated ticket.

Pros:

The VR gear quality is quite good. I've experienced higher resolution, but for what it is, very enjoyable. The depth of field is very immersive, particularly with the AKG earbuds or the included headphones. The gear is a bit heavy on the bridge of the nose, but that may be a fit adjustment. The headphones surpassed my expectations for bluetooth audio. They're comfortable, secure, though perhaps a little tight for extended wear. The base is solid without being oppressive, and doesn't overshadow the trebles. I also found the samsung gear remote to be a well constructed unit. Be sure to put your device into performance mode (or gaming/entertainment) to get the best video experience.

Cons:

Samsung's packaging was quite adequate for shipping, and appeared intended for presentation. However I would've appreciated (and paid extra) for a case to protect and carry the gear, and headphones. I've had time for a 3-4 hour session. I watched some demo videos, grinning at the imposed vertigo during roller coasters. I also tried out a few demo games (before I got my gaming promo downloaded.) Those were entertaining, and I'm looking forward to the premium content.

Then I tested some video and came across my biggest annoyance; video drift. While watching locally stored video, or streaming, the scene would slowly drift to the left. It starts so subtly that I thought I was imagining it. However every 5-10 mins, I had to pause and recenter the scene.

After some research, I think it's related to a mis-calibration of the S8's gyro. Since so many report drift in the same direction, it's probably from factory. But I haven't found out how to re-calibrate in the UI. There's plenty of 'advice' relating to other handsets, but I wasn't ready to start punching admin codes from a youtube video.

I'll update when I get time to call Samsung again. If someone else has insight, please chime in.

Overall I'm quite pleased with the bundle. Hell, the SD card alone made it a bargain. :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] craigslistnynja:
Greetings all, I've been a longtime reader of xda, but never a poster. As this is my first post. After upgrading to Nougat I now have issues with fast charging. 98% of the time when I plug in my charger, it will switch between fast charging and charging in one second intervals with vibration. If it does decide to "fast charge", it will charge at regular speed while displaying fast charge. HOWEVER, It fast charges as normal with the phone powered off. I tried new high quality micro usb's and trying different fast charging samsung adapters, and doing a factory data reset. I have tried toggling fast charging in settings too. It seems to be software related. I am assuming there aren't any custom Nougat roms yet, as I cant find them here. Has anyone heard or experienced this, and have any tricks to try? Thanks in advance!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] grandomegabosses:
I've been having issues after installing Nougat where occasionally it will go from charging to not charging back and forth about five to ten times intermittently, though I have noticed some issues with fast charging as well.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] craigslistnynja:
[MENTION=1449840]grandomegabosses[/MENTION] That is exactly the issue I am having. When it does finally settle down it will tell me ridiculous amount of time to complete full charge, like 1.5 hours when I'm already at 20%. If you see the same, try charging with phone off... It should be WAY faster... Thank for your reply.
