    Anyone order from Samsung directly?

    I've seen this happen a fair amount with Fedex Overnight. Not counting on it here, but it's happened to me in the past.

    Anyone order from Samsung directly?

    Mine as well, though my whole shipment has been sitting at Label Created since yesterday. Hopefully it's a Fedex issue tracking issue which I've had in the past, but I doubt it.

    Anyone order from Samsung directly?

    Mine just came through via Delivery Manager. I've been checking every half hour or so. I checked at 12:26AM Eastern time. Shipping from IN to the NYC area. Shows as overnight delivery shipped 4/19 and delivery via FedEx by 8PM on 4/20. Status is currently "Label Created". Package is 7lbs...

    Anyone order from Samsung directly?

    FWIW, I just called the number listed earlier since I've seen no movement on anything. No charge, no status change, no Fedex Delivery manager. The wait time was actually 24 minutes though the recording said expect over 30. After verification and all that the CSR said my order is ready to...

    Anyone order from Samsung directly?

    This works as well if it's shipped. But just to be clear, you DO NOT need a credit card associate with your account to use Delivery Manager. I've been using it for a while and have never once input a credit card, even just so Fedex has one on file. I see other packages that are on the way...

    Anyone order from Samsung directly?

    I don't think that's what Samsung is doing here, because when companies hold for the release date you still get your tracking info and it's very obvious that the carrier is instructed not to deliver until a certain date. Verizon, for example, does this with almost every big release to allow...

    Anyone order from Samsung directly?

    Either that, things are actually shipping and the systems that report it all are just behind, or Samsung takes flak for missing their launch commitments. /shrug. No way to do anything about it now. I guess I might as well go back to F5-ing.

    Anyone order from Samsung directly?

    Sign up for Fedex Delivery Manager. You'll have to answer a few questions to verify that you are you. It should then catch anything scheduled for delivery to your house and list it in the Delivery Manager. You can also try searching by reference with your Samsung.com order number followed by...

    One IOU please. I'd love to have a microSD card in my phone again.

    What launcher are you sporting on your note 4

    You're spreading false info here. It doesn't defeat the purpose of getting an N4. Not in the slightest. You don't sacrifice an ounce of functionality by using a different launcher. I use Nova Prime. Provides a ton more options for configuring my home screens and doesn't interfere with a...

    How do I remove the error message from my Google Location Service?

    Re: Removing Google Location Service Nag If you just leave GPS on, the OS enables and disables it dynamically as an app calls for it. In my experience it uses essentially no more battery to just leave it on all the time. The OS has become (over the years) very efficient at knowing when to use...

    Note 4 Root or not root

    Re: Root or not root This alone is worth rooting. Your other reasons are good too, but good god Tasker is awesome.

    What is best buys problem they have our notes but wont sell them

    Any retailer opens themselves up to legal problems if they violate contractually set dates. Verizon has a reason to pick 10/23. Whatever that reason is, they'd likely rip Best Buy a new one if BB violates their contract.
