Did you catch something from the t-mobile rep you were flirting with? :p
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] MiOhMai01:
Just picked mine up from UPS! Now to go back to work or go home sick.. [emoji848]
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] jasonm253:
Delivered
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Camwise:
Out for delivery to my house... Too bad I'm in an airport headed out of town till Saturday. Why couldn't it have come yesterday?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] MicroMod777:
ok, just ordered a case for the S9+. I'll just pick up the phone at my local store this weekend.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Cyberguycpt:
I'm liking the Blue.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] 94b20gsr:
Got mine, got the S-view case at the store.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] wmharley:
that would have been too convenient. :D
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] galaxy4mylife:
Still waiting!!!!! Come on ups!!!!
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] adamj546:
Just getting it all set up still but so far I'm pretty impressed. The intelligent unlock works pretty well, the phone seems so much faster than the s8+, sound is superb, and I really like the blue.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Cyberguycpt:
I'm really impressed by this phone. The Galaxy finally has incredible sound. These speakers sound great to me. I might have to turn off Facebook's auto sound at work. My feed can get kind of ratchet at times. Lol.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Crsdr37:
Anyone get there's that still said nothing about an origin scan? Label printed Friday and Saturday for my 2. The one that printed Saturday is being delivered today. The other one still hasn't even had an origin scan.....
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Gunkk:
Delivered ?

Was waiting for me.

First impression: the dual speakers sound fantastic!

Very nice upgrade from my HTC one m8. :good:
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] dazzner:
Stuck at work, phones are at home. The wife has already ripped into hers. 2 hours until I can get at mine. :(
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] galaxy4mylife:
Think I found bug number one. When in display settings and the icon with or with out frames setting, if you select icons with no frames it does not actually change anything. Seems to be a bug with the Samsung Experience launcher I'm guessing. Also be sure to update there is a launch day update but it does not bring us to March security lol.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] eichenberg:
My icons change when selecting no frames vs with frames.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Cyberguycpt:
It changed mines, some apps have frames and some do not which could be how it is. Even in the setting two changed and two didnt.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] galaxy4mylife:
This setting works very different than on my note8 lol. Not sure I like all the icons with frames :/

---------- Post added at 04:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:14 AM ----------

It's odd that it won't fix the Amazon app icon being rounded its cut off a bit but no matter the setting it does not change shape.

I guess I just don't understand why it says you can change it to no frame but it does not get rid of any frame around the icons lol.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] wmharley:
overnight delivery.. that's what i caught. :cool:

but she flirted with me
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] 94b20gsr:
I agree the audio is fantastic, especially when Atmos is enabled.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Cyberguycpt:
Wow the internet is fast. Hollywierd California. Lol.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Crsdr37:
I know this will sound funny but the sims cards they sent do not need to be used for the 600mhz band so they? Only ask as I know it is on in my city and not seeing a difference between s8 and s9 on lte so far.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Cyberguycpt:
Don't think I'll be getting this phone. I don't feel like paying 120 down for the S9+. I'm on JOD and didn't pay anything for the IPhone X which to me was an actual milestone device. The S9+ is really just an incremental so I dont get the down payment part.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] mweinbach:
I ordered mine last, I was told I was the first person to order, lol. S9+ Midnight Black with JOD. Should hopefully have it next week.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] jkforce:
It probably won't ship next week, I am guessing 3/11 - 3/12 based on the shipping dates info provided by T-Mobile. Tmo used to ship, sometimes like a week or two earlier than anticipated ship date, but lately, they have been right on their announced shipping dates. I am guessing Samsung pressures Tmo not to release earlier than what is announced. But look at the dates below,
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] supercharged5:
I just ordered 2 S9+ one black one purple from Samsung for T-mobile carrier. I wonder how long it will be before they start shipping them out
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Camwise:
Strange they're going back to a down payment up front for JOD upgrades to the + model. I had to do that with the S7 Edge, Note 7, and S8+, but then with the Note 8, V30, iPhone X there was no Down Payment for JOD, just rolled it into a higher monthly payment. LOL i didn't feel like paying the $120 so just went with the smaller s9 and in a month or two if i change my mind i'll upgrade to the s9+ and pay whatever the rate is at that time. I went with the purple since it'll be in a case and nobody will see it anyway. My wife thought it was "Pretty".
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] truckerdewd:
I did a JOD upgrade from the Note8 to the V30 on Feb 20. Like the V30 except for some weird issues with old deletrd texts reappearing several times over the last week. Asked about doing a return and going back to the Note8, was told thay was fi r and it would be like I didn't do the JOD upgrade, then I hkt the bad news, I would have to pay $150 down to get back to the Note8. I didn't have to make a down payment when I jumped to the Note8 when I pre-ordered it last year. No down payment for my wife to upgrade to it either. I don't have $150 to put down since I am off work on medical leave with a screwed up knee. They offered to have me do buyer's remorse at my local store and pay $150 down and get bill credits for that amount, do a JOD upgrade pay the $150 down and get $150 immediate bill credit and free overnight shipping, do a JOD upgrade to an S8+ or an S9 with free overnight shipping, or $120 down on the S9+ and free overnight shipping. Again, don't have extra funds available due to tight finances while I'm on medical leave receiving short term disability so I took the deal for a blue S9.

I knew when I was debating the upgrade to the V30 for days last week, I should have listened to my gut and stuck with the Note8. Although the data speeds I have gotten on this V30 have been the best I have ever had. Hit 136 Mbps today. Hope these speeds keep going like that with the S9.

Very impatiently waiting like you all. ?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] jer21:
Guys they changed it! Only if you're well qualified though...no more $120
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] supercharged5:
I just bought mine outright from Samsung for $580 shipped with trade in. No payments or anything else and when the S11 comes out I'll do the same thing
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Cyberguycpt:
I called and they are still saying I have to pay 120, I am well qualified and been with them for more than 3 years. I didn't pay anything on the IPhone X. Did you do with JOD and did you do it over the phone or with tforce?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] truckerdewd:
When did they change it? As of last night when I ordered mine, the S9+ still had the $120 down and I am well qualified. I have been with T-Mobile over 10 years.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Cyberguycpt:
I don't think it changed. They may have ordered the S9 by mistake. I called and talked to Tforce and both still require a down payment. When I told Tforce that I ordered the IPhone X a few months back without one and they said even today it shows no down payment on the IPhone X for me and other phones but not the s9+ so Samsung is probably the one trying to screw us. So screw them.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] truckerdewd:
I called and the rep checked into and it did change this morning but the system hasn't updated. She found a memo about it. It is $0 down for well qualified JOD customers.

When she looked at it for me, it still said $120 down. The Note8 also now requires $150 down no matter what credit you have which sucks cause last Sept it was $0 for JOD but when I wanted to seitch back to tbe Note8 from the V30 since it has been less than 14 days, I got blind sided with that info. Wrnt with the S9 instead.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Cyberguycpt:
Well I hope so, I'll be here waiting until I see the change. Not willing to pay a down payment and don't want to get the s9 due to the size.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] truckerdewd:
Just got the scoop, it is only for "certain" well qualified JOD customers, but not for all well qualified customers. I guess I fall in the latter group.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Cyberguycpt:
Just got the S9+ on JOD for 0 down, I only had to pay 24.99 for overnight shipping. Thanks for the help guys. Glad I'm a little older and not to impatient. Lol. The young me would have paid first and asked questions last. Lol
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] uzupan:
I just purchased the TMobile varinat from Samsung instead of t mobile so I can trade in my LG v30, I still owe money on it to t mobile and I could not trade it to t mobile unless I paid it off.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] wmharley:
So for those getting JoD and no down on the 9+, how much is the monthly?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Cyberguycpt:
$41.50
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] wmharley:
Whoo, bit too rich for my wallet. S9 regular for me then.

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] madskills843:
I can confirm that they changed it as well, all you need to do is call in and they can switch it. She did say they got a memo this morning confirmation of the change. But it was a bit strange because it still was asking for $120 at first until she went through the process then came up as 0 down. The monthly payment according to contract is $40.97

---------- Post added at 05:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:38 AM ----------

Well that sucks for you I didn't have to pay shipping on my and I just got it ordered JOD for two lines for S9+ with 0 down
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] truckerdewd:
I don't think so. We have it here also. I'm using same sim card I used in my S8, S8+, Note8, and V30. I was told that my sim card would be fine to use in my S9. I find notice on with my V30 and my S9 that my speeds are a lot faster. I used to be lucky to get above 20 Mbps unless I was on wifi, on a rare occasion I could get almost 40 off wifi. Now I'm consistently getting 100+ Mbps on my V30 and my S9.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] wmharley:
its the phone, not the sim card
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] truckerdewd:
This is what my phone thinks I look like.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Crsdr37:
Anyone else have a phone showing shipped since last Friday but no origin scan. Getting pissed off with tmobile and their lack of answering what's going on.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] CB620:
First impressions:

Phone is very fast and snappy

Speaker is loud

AR Emoji is horrible

Camera is really good
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] munchy_cool:
let me know if you want to hangout with the old xda MP peeps on telegram bro :) nice to see you still in the game:good:
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] truckerdewd:
Yes the AR Emoji is awful, almost creepy.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] ssgunner20:
Ordered yesterday morning. 2 S9 black and already shipped. Per tracking today...out for delivery as we speak.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Crsdr37:
Yes I am pissed with T-Mobile after arguing all week that my wife's phone that showed shipped last Friday was lost. I finally talk to a supervisor today who called ups and shows they lost it and have to wait 8 days for a claim. Going to the store tomorrow to buy one in person.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] MicroMod777:
Today's the retail launch and still don't see any new promotions like a free 50" Samsung 4k TV if you buy a S9. lol
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] jkforce:
Same thing happened to me too.

The very same thing happened to me too and it still makes me mad how UPS handled the situation and Tmobile's policy make it impossible for customers to do another JOD until UPS finish their full lost investigation. So, it took 2 business days for UPS to say the phone is lost. (could been a lot longer if I didn't call 10+ times, bothering them, tracking still shows out for delivery lol) And now Tmobile is saying they requested UPS to investigate and need to wait for them to finish their investigation which will take another week of business days. (Not just days, business days) and I bought two.

I really think Tmobile needs to change their policy on this to avoid any more inconveniences of their customers. Tmobile shipped the package and UPS failed to deliver. It is the contract between Tmobile and UPS, why is Tmobile asking customer to wait to use my JOD upgrade opportunity until they deal with their business side conflict? If Tmobile is really going for Top class customer service, once UPS claims they lost shipment, what Tmobile should do is to cancel the order immediately and ship another or at least cancel the order and give customer an opportunity to either order online or in store.

Also, while talking to my 1st representative on this issue (won't say the name), but he was very un-informed. He insisted and almost tried to fight me over the phone when I asked him about the billing. Since Tmobile counts the day once either the agreement is signed or they ship the package (I am unsure about this, but they do count days for your installment cost once the phone leaves their warehouse). He insisted that I will be paying for it since I signed the agreement without mentioning any of the refund part, in which I think he did not know. I was furious, not only they lost the shipment (I am the customer of Tmobile, not UPS, so to me, Tmobile lost my shipment), now they are saying they are going to charge me because they shipped it? However, I stayed calm and requested to speak to a supervisor and she confirms anything charged related to this incident will be refunded back to me and my account. This is where you really need to follow up as a customer and check on your account because quite often, Tmobile does not refund until you request it again. This has been a horrid experience and I think Tmobile can do much better than this in terms of handling lost case.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Crsdr37:
I went into the store since I was not JOD and just made a new order of the other one ever shows up I will just refuse it.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] markbaron:
How did you do it? I'm chatting with a rep and she's saying no way. All JOD customers are required to put down $120.. She says there's no memo.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] getbuzzin:
Try messaging then on Twitter. I don't ever call anymore, pre ordered through Twitter instead. $0 down for the s9 plus with no charge for overnight shipping.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Cyberguycpt:
Well congrats to you. I know you didn't mean your post to be how it sounded. So I'm going to just say congrats. [emoji3] But I'll be hitting up Twitter later to get the a credit for shipping.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] truckerdewd:
I went through Twitter, it is only for certain well qualified JOD customers, not for all well qualified JOD customers. I apparently fall into tbe latter category.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Cyberguycpt:
Yes try going on Twitter if over the phone is still not acting right. Also you MAY HAVE to be well qualified meaning a certain credit class and been with them for more than 3 years I believe. It MAY not be O down for all JOD customers.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] truckerdewd:
That's exactly the answer I got. I guess my well qualified and over 10 years with T-Mobile isn't well qualified enough. Oh well. I'll stick with my S9 pre-order. It sucks but it is what it is.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Cyberguycpt:
I'm trying to post a screen shot where it says O down for JOD customers but it's saying I'm not allowed. I don't know what's going on.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] markbaron:
I found this..
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] galaxy4mylife:
Well i placed an original order on 3/2 12:01am and was charged 120 down plus shipping on my JOD to the S9+. Well the rep spelled my name wrong on my credit card and i had to cancel that order. Later on i went to try again in store and had to wait 24 hours for the cancelled order to clear out of the system. On 3/3 went back to the store they were very confused as to why i was given a 0 down payment but we put in the order regardless. Well a few min after the rep i had spoken to about the first incorrect order must of been looking to make sure the old one had been removed and ended up cancelling my NEW order. :eek: So i finally had a new order placed with T-Force last night and again was given 0 down and was given free overnight for the issues i had. So im glad others are getting 0 down too so i know it wasn't a mistake again lol. JOD from my note8 to the coral blue S9+!!!
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] mbaddOG:
Want the S9+ with no down payment?

I went through the Twitter tforce route. The first rep stated I wasn’t a well qualified customer. I told her I’ve been a customer for 12 years, always been in auto-pay thus no late payments, and had a 798 credit score. I requested she look into it deeply and she would see I was well qualified. 10 minutes later a second rep came on and in 1/2 hour canceled my S9 order, ordered my S9+ without a down payment, and gave me free overnight shipping. Sometimes you must insist insist insist!
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] galaxy4mylife:
I'm surprised I'm well qualified after all the times I've had to complain to get stuff done. Always have issues with pre-order haha.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] UniX1rm:
Where did you find that ?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] galaxy4mylife:
If you look at the FAQ on the pre order page where it talked about pricing. It's updated to show zero down for the s9+. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] markbaron:
It was on Reddit I believe. I screenshot the image.

---------- Post added at 01:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:08 AM ----------

The T-Force rep I talked to on Twitter told me I had to wait until the $0 down hit their system and would get a hold of me tomorrow..
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] galaxy4mylife:
That's odd, I did my order on TForce yesterday and got the zero down. It's not applied by someone it's automatic if you qualify.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] mweinbach:
Tweeted Des a couple days ago. Got this response. https://twitter.com/askdes/status/969673925205491712

I was told by someone at Samsung Poland, carriers can pick up their phones on the 7th, ship the 8th. Then your device comes after that. So soon I guess.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Cyberguycpt:
Well it doesn't suck for me anymore. I contacted Tforce and they issued me a credit for $25 to my account for the shipping. Good thing is I'll know when my phone is about to ship once they charge my card for the shipping that I'm getting free. While you'll be waiting and wondering if you'res has been charged and thus is about to ship. Lmao lmao.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] madskills843:
Sweet nice! TMobile actually sends out tracking tho...well at least that have for me I assuming It's like that for everyone.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] UniX1rm:
Hey guys, GARBAGE ALERT. T-force says you have to be with T-Mobile for 3 years, otherwise, for me 2 years and 8 months, I do not qualify for zero down regardless credit and all that stuff. Truly Garbage.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] galaxy4mylife:
Ah sorry. I have almost 7 years in so that explains why I got zero down.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] UniX1rm:
yep, that solve the mystery. i'll def email Legere and tell him that's b.s. just because they don't explain. So mysterious about it. They also told everyone we'll give you free overnight shipping as if you're the only one in the world who got it LMAO
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] galaxy4mylife:
From what I gathered talking on Twitter all phone down payments will be based on you're tenure with tmobile.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] truckerdewd:
I've been with them 10 1/2 years and I still couldn't get $0 down on the S9+ so I guess my well qualified isn't well qualified enough.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] galaxy4mylife:
I'm not sure. This is the message I got on Twitter.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] truckerdewd:
This is what I got from them on Twitter yesterday. Just kind of irks me cause they are constantly telling me I'm a very well qualified customer whether it be when I go into a store to purchase something. or on the phone with customer care. They even told me thay on ybe phone Froday night when I placed my S9 pre-order.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Bradfordv:
I just called trying to get the $0 and the rep told me it was only for select accounts and the ones that are qualified will relieve a text. If it's 3 years + I should be qualified and I am not. I even tried pointing out I have always had $0 down and I have been a jod customer since day 1 of jod.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] truckerdewd:
Same here.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] galaxy4mylife:
There must be more then just tenure. I'm at 7 years and got zero down. So they must have other qualifications they look for. :/
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Bradfordv:
Then again they said last year for the s8+ I had to do the same thing and never took the down and just shipped $0
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] mweinbach:
I am qualified. 15 years with them. No missed payments.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] easyguy:
Thanks guys for the info. Ordered and got S9 Plus without any down payment and also got free overnight shipping. Been with them for the last 5 years.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] MicroMod777:
You call or by twitter?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] mikeroz74:
jfy - it's possible to have s9+ without down.

I had to cancel my previous order and re-order again (s9+ JOD) without down payment. Monthly it's going to be 41.25$
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] easyguy:
twitter.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] zettasyntax:
The rep that I spoke with on the phone said "I just want to congratulate you on your 8th year as a T-Mobile customer". I didn't even know it had been that long. I still had to pay the down payment though, so maybe they do take credit or other factors into account. My credit is quite a bit worse than it was when I opened my account.
