I've heard a lot about a possible "bad batch" of M8's so I was wondering if those having problems ordered them online or if they go them at store level? I'm about to head to my local store to upgrade so I wanted to make sure I'm not getting a problem phone. Thanks everyone!!!
When you say bad batch, what are the issues that are coming up?...I just upgraded in person at a Sprint store and so far no issues with my phone.

Lol a bad batch rumor??? Oh boy the stuff you hear on the internet lol....
I ordered online last Friday, got my phone Wednesday. Phone is solid, only complaint I have is never receiving shipping confirmation. In fact if I looked at my order now it would say "order processing" .
Thank god for ups my choice was able to have them leave in garage with out signing since I couldn't plan to have the day off.

Have an Airrave at the house where we are. It's nice but going from Sprint to the Airrave and back again is annoying at times. It does work damn good however.

According to this post, it's been around for a few years.
got one a while back. it's hit or miss whether it works well depending on it's mood and depending on your location.
In addition, if you're on a call, and you leave it's range, it doesn't seamlessly switch over, it drops your call.
So mine just sits nicely in the corner, protecting a spot on my floor from dust.
This operates on all bands including are jew 800Mhz band. Also the product is not new but the number is.

Yes it is a newer model with Sprint rolling out its new enhanced 800mhz band this will also carry that band.

I'm not sure. I never heard of it, but the reviews are throwing me off. Maybe if I see more people saying good things about it, I'll try it.
Thanks for posting this! I'll keep this in mind if my reception gets bad again. I think Sprint was working on towers in my area for several months but seems to have gotten fixed in the last couple weeks.
I've had mine for close to 2 years. Happy with it.
I live in a 2 story home and it works flawlessly everywhere.
Sent From The Galaxy Via Subspace
I've had mine for 4 years in four different locations and it is definitely better than the naked Sprint signal, but also quite hit or miss and dependent on your Internet service. It worked flawlessly in my loft in Denver and very well in my first two places in Albuquerque, but barely noticeable in my house in Rio Rancho. Incidentally, my Internet absolutely sucks here so I'm positive this has much to do with the current poor performance of the Airvana.
In any case, I've been using the Airave for 4 years completely free so no complaints here. If you have poor service in your home or business, you should definitely call the number in the OP and see about picking one up. If you get denied but really need one, keep calling. Eventually they will agree to set you up.

I placed an order on 10-4 with T-Mobile.com and it's on backorder. I noticed that a lot of places are sold out. Did Samsung not make enough because of unknown demand?
Sent from my SM-N900T using Tapatalk 4
Not sure if they made enough or not but there are some at various stores around where I live. Also T-mobile is supposedly backordered quite heavily due to the massive mistake they made in including the gear in their 30% off accessories coupon. Great promotion for the consumer but no one knows when all of those orders will be fulfilled.

Yup, they definitely didn't make enough.. I almost did not get my phone upon release cuz all the gear was gone. They said that they can't sell the phone without the gear?? But lucky enough they had one left, the one they were showing to all potential customers lol.

yeah still no gear here, major bummer wanted to see at least a demo unit
My Best Buy still has like 10-15 of them in stock in Various Colors. I got my manager to price match the T-Mobile price last week for 2 of them (one was for resale and one for me). I guess I got lucky on that. But they are to be found. Any if you want to play with one, any best buy with a Samsung store should have a live demo of a Gear there.
Here in Denver I had to drive all the way across town to get my jet black Gear. Most Best Buys are sold out.
I'm glad I purchased it. The features are awesome.

Does anyone has had this problem? Do any of you guys know if HTC covers it under warranty ?
Sent from my HTC One using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
The earlier factory batches of the HTC One have a lot of hardware faults and build issues, I recommend getting your phone replaced if under warranty. Build defects are good reasons to get a warranty replacement. I've replaced my One twice so far due to defects and I finally got a perfect device.

I just want to at least order already... Yesterday I was getting a message about my cart being empty and I called and the rep stated it was because it's not actually in the system. Well today I got an email from BB, asking for me to finish my order. Well now I get to the final page where I send in my info to the carrier. All I get now is the following message:
"We're sorry, there was a problem with your request. Please contact your carrier directly for assistance."
I then call Sprint, let them know exactly whats going on, and I'm going through BB because they have an exclusive on Amber Gold. They check my account for issues and say everything is good and there is no errors on there end. BB doesn't seem to know why and keeps sending me to Sprint.
I just want to get the thing in Amber Gold before April 10th.
My cart would clear out if I didn't checkout as a guest. As for the last screen I was getting an error about the order being complete but it was due to me typing in a piece of the account info wrong.

unfortunately, no. they treat it as a pre-order and don't handle pre-order over the phone, stores don't have it in there systems as an option, and yeah, stuck with this problem online. :///
btw, appreciate your feedback.
I ordered a gold one from BB. Also had errors when logged into my account. Had to checkout as guest and it went through just fine. Did get order confirmation on the 25th but no shipping info or updates yet. Had a friend get his today already. That one was ordered directly from Sprint I just wanted the gold one. I hope it ships soon. Sprint usually will get them to me next day air or 2 day. BB will have to see.

Best Buy in Florida said they will have them but not allowed to sell them until April 5th.
Does anyone know if they will have stock on-hand in corporate stores on launch day? I'm assuming so but figured there may be a store rep here who can confirm?
Thanks
We currently do not have stock for stores and we have heard nothing about getting a guaranteed shipment. But I work in Alaska, so YMMV. We are assuming we will get some in by thrle 11th.

Well.. i didn't pre-order my S4 from AT&T because they was already sold out. But the corporate store near me had 10+ in stock on launch day.. No crazy line like the iPhone releases, it was a popular city also. Not a hick town somewhere.
Your best bet is to call your local store Thursday or Friday to see if they will have any coming in.
