[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Really? I thought it was typical of most places that they don't charge until the product actually ships. Tmo is no different in this regard. If my card gets charged I'll be jumping for joy because that means the phone is on its way.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tel864:
Same here, I'm waiting on the notification ftom my bank that I have an online charge posted on my card. I get the notifications instantly so I'll know then that shipping is near.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] galaxy4mylife:
If you were in the first wave of orders that's usually a few days early. Anyone who ordered the day pre orders went live on Tmobile has a shipping date of 6th-8th, like me. But they are getting low on supply so the dates are moving later on. Which is why you are seeing the 8th-15th.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] adamj546:
Yep, I'm aware as I pre order every year since the s6. Iv had 1st wave, 2nd wave, and even 3rd wave est shipping dates but phones always arrived about 1 week early.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] galaxy4mylife:
I'm there waiting with ya lol. But I'm not expecting movement till the 5th that's when other carriers are rumored to start moving them.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] smooth703:
I went from 1st wave to 2nd wave cuz I missed my $50 accessory first go round
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] clueless25:
I was playing around trying to decide which to order, the 1st time it said the 8th, 6 hours later was the 12th!! The plus model apparently is the hot one

:eek:
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] npthaiduong:
From what you guys are saying, is it reasonable to expect the pre-order with ETA March 15 to be shipped sooner?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] varcor:
You may have conflicts in the CSC, if so you won't get wifi calling and voLTE on T-mobile's network.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] galaxy4mylife:
It's hard to pinpoint a time. Like was stated earlier there are phases. Phase one are orders placed as soon as pre orders opened. They have early next week as shipping/arrival dates. Phase 2 has dates from the 8th to the 15th and phase 3 are showing 15th to the 22nd. All I can say is glad I don't work for Samsung or carrier distribution centers. Logistics nightmare lol.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] adamj546:
Depends on the carrier honestly. I would expect TMo to ship sooner just because iv been in phase 2 before with TMo and shipped same as phase 1 devices.

[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] IllyaK:
So I have the OnePlus 6t and can get the s10 plus for 400 straight from Samsung with a trade-in. Do you guys think it is worth it? I don't care about water resistance, wireless charging, the deep integration between the camera api to Instagram, reverse wireless charging, or the large screen as the OnePlus 6t has the same 6.4 inches. I can also sell the Galaxy buds for 100, so there is that. Any input would be helpful.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] Swimguy14:
What phone would you be trading in?
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] IllyaK:

[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] IllyaK:

[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] Swimguy14:
What did you end up doing? I went for the 10+ and it I like it better than the 6t in every way, except the fingerprint reader on 6t was better\faster.

The biggest problem I had with the 6t was that for some reason after looking at the screen for longer than a few minutes my eyes would start to strain and literally hurt, it's like there was something with the way the screen was that my eyes did not like. it's hard to explain ...and I had never experienced it before on any phone. Suffice to say I don't have the same problem with the S10
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] kevinireland11:
Why then

If you dont care about any of the s10 features then why do you want one lol just stay with ur 6t in that case and save 400
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] truckerdewd:
I had to have had same issue with the 6T and my eyes. No issues with the LG G7, LG V40 or my current phone which is the S10.

I also want to know if there OP doesn't care about the major features of the S10/S10+, then why not just stick with the 6T?
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] applicationz:
I will suggest you to stick with 6T until the one plus 7 is released and then see, they are making a pro model, s10 plus is really good device, but dont spend 400 to update since your device is not that old.

Pros s10

Camera

Display

Processor

Sexy

Pros one plus

Quick updates and speed.

400$ saving

Dash charging

Not worth the upgrade as of now.

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] RalphTech:
First off- this is a great site with valuable information for all matters HTC. It has been a resource that has helped me get more use out of my HTC products.

I have a Universal, Dash, Athena, Startrec, and Wing.

Lately I have been trying to get some useful information for the Athena and no amount of searching, reading Wiki ing can answer my questions or even help me get a baseline understanding of things with the Athena.

It is quite frustrating- I would want to straightforwardly ask a question in a new thread, but it seems that the more experienced people on this board jump to the conclusion that a question is the result of not searching or not reading. I can tell you that I spend hours a day searching for things on this site and often times find irrelevant search results or endless threads with needle in haystack like answers that only partially answer questions. Is there anyway to organize this space better so that questions can be answered more efficiently?

The wiki is not useful for the most part- it has less info than some threads- links are old or irrelevant and searching is plain useless.

Great site everybody but darn frustrating for finding info- Any one else having this issue?

RT
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Confucious:
Probably not...

What info are you after and I'm sure someone will be able to help - then maybe you can update the Wiki yourself if you think it needs it!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] RalphTech:
I want upgrade the radio, but I am not sure if the phone needs to be CID, its the HTC model w/o front facing camera. If it does need to be CID, not sure how to do it properly. There are tons of posts of people who have bricked their units using methods that would use to CID. So I am sorta scared to try anything- every method I see suggested is followed by another thread of someone for whom the process went badly. Also I cannot get a reliable place to download a radio and which radio is the best or useable with a later rom? I read that some radios don't work with some roms and there threads of people tried to upgrade ROMs but found that they had radio problems, WIFI, bluetooth and GSM issues. Is there a better radio to use than others? Is their a reliable place to get the requisite radio version?

What ROM version makes sense. The current ROM on my Athena is awful- the worst ever. I downloaded AP4 and right before I geared up to use it, I read a ton of posts which say is does not work with WIFI- WTF? Is there a version of it that does work with WIFI? Is there another version of the ROM that is stable and downloadable? Also I have seen mentions of various types of ROMs, but no real explanation of what these ROMs are and where to get them.

Mind you I have done tons of stuff with my universal, dash, wing, MDA and have had an easier time finding info, links and resources.

Anyway- I just cannot seem to find coherent info here. If I do find coherent info, I would more than happy to help out with the WIKI or some sort of wiki that clearly outlines key info such as

1. Here are the various Rom options and what they do

2. Here are the various Radio options and what they do

3. Here is a coherent, un confusing guide to CID that won't brick your machine

4. Here is a link that works and clearly states which software versions are available for download

5.Here are idiot proof instructions on how do to perform key functions of upgrading.

Before everyone flames this remember I have seen the various posts and threads that talk about these things, but they are usually followed by tons of people who have had problems with ROM, Links, Bricks and other issues. In addition a lot of the information is plain confusing.

So if anyone out there has clear links or pointers let me/us know I will volunteer to compile it because right now I am about ready to toss my crippled Athena out the window.

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] kramerica2:
I'm not sure that I understand exactly what you mean, but from my experience with XDA communities, the Athena has a relatively non "newbie friendly" approach. I don't mean to insult anybody of-course, but the switch from the Wizard community to the Athena one was hard, and I feel like people here save too much info for themselves and don't like to share or help new people. I must say, I don't mean to insult anybody or criticize, I'm merely expressing my feelings from my one month around here.

AP4 works fine with Wifi unless you screw up badly - then it CAN be fixed.

Simple, unlock, flash radio 1.57 or leave at 1.5 if you are happy with it, if you have an earlier version it's best to upgrade, then flash AP4.0

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Meantime5:
In black and white

After about a week reading, I have not been able to find the procedure of flashing the radio of this device. "flashes the same way as the ROM" is as close as I have been to the info. I have a device that shows no radio installed, the olipro tool never advances past 0% and gives an error, after which the phone is stuck in bootloader mode and has to be reflashed with a non radio containing ROM in order to get it to boot again. Radio containing ROM's like Black Touch get stuck at 85%, with the same chore of reflashing a non radio ROM afterwards. I downloaded radio 1:58, but the download only has the actual radio file, no flashing utility. Copying the utility from a ROM file does not work either. Someone else in the same situation has a thread for help. He tried flashing from the SD card, but no dice. His thread is not receiving any useful posts from any of the gurus. The "excellent" video that is pointed out in the olipro unlocker thread is mute, so you have to peel your eyes to see through the low quality picture and still can't read the dialogs shown on screen. Those that ask questions are called idiot or lazy and after reading these posts, the searching for info turns into a graceless process. If the chiefs managing this section of the site care about it being useful, a concise, informative, black and white type sticky thread, read only, closed to responses would be a good idea. Maybe inserting the flashing procedures for unlocking, ROM and Radio flashing into the Athena Wiki would also help. This way newbies and others can come and read the basic procedures without having to filter through the vast amount of threads that only lead to more confusion. I wish I knew more about the procedures, I would beef up that wiki, but I'm afraid I can do more damage than good with my limited knowledge.

Carrier order as in they ordered to sell them themselves therefore they can do with it what they will?(more-understandable)

Or various US carrier(s) ordered Samsung to lock all phones of potential customers?

If I am reading all this correctly, and I have looked at many websites and tried many methods, this phone is not able to unlock the bootloader. Is that correct?

[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] entropism:
It's an S10 from the US, so no, you can't unlock the bootloader and you can't root the device. That doesn't have anything to do with SIM unlocking the phone though.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] Poehring:
Okay, I read that in order to SIM unlock, I had to unlock the bootloader for the unlock program to do its thing. Also, an easier method (not really easier at all), is to root the phone, to do SIM unlock, and for THAT it said I needed to unlock the bootloader. Maybe im thinking too hard :P

Technical questions for locked bootloaders in Snapdragon devices:

As I understood the OEM unlock prevents you from entering the download mode and modifying partitions, i.e. flash your own custom recovery and custom ROM (BL (bootloader), AC (system), CP, CSC) with Odin for example, right?

Where exactly is the OEM unlock option (included in the system settings) stored / located on the device?

If its on the ROM (internal SD, eMMC), you could solder off the card and exchange it with an unlocked bootloader eMMC from an Exynos device for example. Would that work?

Since you don't need a custom recovery in some devices to gain root (e.g. the galaxy note 10) and just use magisk to root, would that work: root without cutom recovery, using magisk so you would have a rooted system with locked bootloader !?

Thanks for any help!
