Got my s4 this morning! - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

FedEx brought my s4 this morning, 9.6gb of free space on the phone. One this I have noticed is that even when connected to wifi, the 4g symbol is present in the status bar. I called samsung about this, and the guy didn't have any material available on the phone since it doesn't "come out until 5/23" But he did say he had a t-mobile s4 and when wifi was on, both icons were not present. Hopefully there is a hot fix for this issue.

woo! congrats. lol

Sweet cant wait to get mine

YES! Just got mine too!

Let me know if you get the wifi and 4g icons at the same time if connected to wifi

that's most likely my verizon running in the background or something....anything verizon related has to use the mobile network, not wifi...i remember it did that on a few phones i had, and eventually settled.

No 4G icon here when on wifi...

How's the GPS compared to the s3? I hate GPS lock on s3 it takes forever

No reason I couldn't have had it today. Now I'm going to miss the delivery since I won't be home when they deliver for the rest of the week and will have to pick it up at the store.

[Q] return amazon wirless rezound

I just got my rezound from Amazon wireless. I love the phone however I.have the light leakage and its already overheating. Do I.need to send it into Amazon or can I return it at a local Verizon store? I I've read both circumstances happening. Just wondering if anyone else has done either yet. Also if u send it in can u get a loner? This is my first Verizon phone. Thanks
I think you have to use amazon for the first 30 days then you can use verizon. It may be worth it to put up with it until verizon can help you.

Any way to confirm this. I suppose I can call tomorrow.I'm.stuck in class right now. If that's the case ill def wait the 30 days
I got both a Rezound and RAZR from Amazon. The Rezound is great, but I had some serious issues with the RAZR overheating and searching for signal. Called Amazon, they shipped me a brand new phone. Swapped SIMs, mailed the old phone back. Problem solved, and it didn't cost me a dime. Think shipping was 2nd day air.
EDIT: I also tried VZW first, because it would have been quicker, but they directed me to Amazon.
So they send one first... Have the replacement phones been without flaw or is it the same gamble. Might be better to wait the 30 days and use Verizon so I can check it...

The only reason I suggested waiting and using Verizon is that Amazon was backordered last time I checked.
Send back to Amazon. I just went through this and don't be afraid by the 2-5 week wait. They told. Me that and got an email a few days later it was being shipped.

Amazon is excellent for returns/exchanges hands down. I assume it will be the same process you request an exchange and they ship it out to you. They generally gave me overnight shipping for free (even on a saturday) to get me non-defective item. Then you just ship it back to them within a resonable time frame with the included label and you should be good to go.
You guys do realize Amazon will send you a brand new phone and if you wait 30 days Verizon cannot swap in store and will send you a refurbished phone thru the mail.

Verizon has a 14 day policy normally, but now if you purchased the phone after 11-15 you have until Jan.
Wouldn't the phone have a warranty through htc as well? Sounds like ill be contacting Amazon tomorrow though. Thanks a lot guys. Hopefully that one doesn't have the light leak. Lol watch me have a new problem. Is rather have the leak than pink buttons and all the other problems I hear about...

All of them have the light leak at the bottom. It is simply how it was designed. Sad really considering my Incredible S didn't have this issue.

I'd be willing to bet that it was a CSA who probably doesn't understand what light leakage is. Between my 3 rezounds and everyone I have looked at in the stores you can see the LEDs through the bottom of the screen when the soft keys light up which is what is causing the bleeding. There is no way to fix it except by turning off the LEDs or by lowering their intensity to improve on the light leak.

Went into verizon and they won't take the phone tho it sounds like I may as well deal with it. They really pissed me off though. I wanted to put on my work discount. Supposed to be 22% line 20% data. I called and reviewed online before I got verizon and the rep told me I would get the discounts. The store wouldn't discount my data because he claimed I need to have a 5gb data and hotspot plan. I was never told this and most likely wouldn't have canceled at&t during the penny sale. Anyone think I could complain enough to get this changed? Can't seem to find a phone number for them to save my life lol

Me too Harmony. Why can't BB open at 9am.
I'm still thinking I might go in asking to see both phones and possibly switching to white. I just can't decide without seeing it in person. I hope if I switch colors it wouldn't hurt my $50 GC? If they have 1 in stock that is.

I'm at my local BB, no one is here! They open at 10am. I will be first in line. I bought the LG G2 last thurs to replace my note 2. Big mistake!!! Once you go Big you never go back.
The G2 felt extremely small, even with the 5.2" display it just felt wrong! I used it for about an hour and I still haven't taken the protective film off. It's been sitting in the box on my desk for a week.
Hopefully it's an easy exchange process and I'm out quickly. I gave my cousin my note 2 in exchange for his upgrade and I've been using the iPhone 5 from my business line.
10am can't come fast enough!!!!!!!!!!!
UPDATE:
2 people just pulled up! They are sitting in their car. It appears we are sizing each other up. I'm pretty sure I can beat them to the front door, they look out of shape! It's raining here, so no one wants to stand outside. This might get ugly!!!!! LOL

I read about your situation in the pre-order thread. That absolutely sucks and sounds like something that would happen to me.

Galaxy S5 Backordered?

Hey guys,
How many of you ordered from T-Mobile and your S5 is on backorder? I ordered a Black one last night (after returning my M8) and it said in stock when I ordered, it finished processing and then I got an email this morning stating it was back ordered
Hopefully it ships soon, I'm kinda pissed cause I paid for the fast shipping too. Now I'm stuck with my old Nexus 4 (dat battery life ) until it comes in. Anyone else in a similar situation?

Ha no probs.
I traded it back in for the S5 because I really didn't like the way the device felt. It was tall and it was narrow which made it awkward to hold IMO, and this is coming from me having a Note 3, which I was fine with. Sense, although incredibly fast and beautiful, was somewhat boring to me and left me asking for more. I also didn't particularly like the camera and wanted more that the S5 provides.

Well, all T-Mobile stores must have gotten shipments yesterday because after work my local store had a bunch of blacks in so I called in to T-Mobile to cancel. They said they did.
Get home, open up my newly purchased S5 activate it, set up me email and get a notification that my T-Mobile order that was supposed to be cancelled shipped
Oh well, at least I got one!
I just walked into the store on release day, talked to my buddy that I always talk to and walked out with a shiny new white S5. I've bought the new Galaxy on release day since the 3, 4 and now 5 all in white. I'm officially a Samsung fanboy.

Definitely not back ordered, as I walked into my local T-Mobile store and purchased a charcoal black S5 with new service.
They seem to have over anticipated the demand for white and under anticipated the demand for black. I had to call around for about 6 stores to find one in black and they had only received a couple in the order, so I zipped down and grabbed it. Then I had a hard time finding a black otterbox case, everyone had white but no black, but I found one at an AT&T store lol
