I ordered mine on the website pretty easily the morning of 5/27. Can't wait to get it. Silly me did not pay attention so I ended up with ups ground delivery. Oh well, enough time for me to get a tempered glass screen protector to get ready. I was going to get the plastic back but the leather was the same price, so I took the chance. See how it holds up? Anyone planning to apply repellant to the leather?

Re: T-Mobile Pre-order & ships 5/27 Plus free 128GB MicroSD card!
I finally got to play with my phone last night after it sat on my porch for a few hours waiting for me. No 128gb card or random waterproof bluetooth speaker included. They gave me a printout showing me how to apply for the 128gb card. I applied for that and the extra battery + card offer last night. Both offers said I should hear something back within 5 business days if they approve me or whatnot.
The phone is crazy light and smaller feeling. Same size screen as my iPhone 6 Plus but feels a lot less hefty, which is a good thing. I will mess around with the stock launcher at some point but for now I installed nova right away. A few random observations after a few hours with the phone:
-Very smooth, no stuttering or anything
-Leather back looks and feels great
-Love the subtle curve, feels great in hand
-Love the tap screen to wake up feature, never had this before
-Double click the volume button down to open camera/snap pic is great but I wish there was a shortcut for when you had the phone open/screen on
-No quick charger included in the box. This was a bit of a disappointment but I knew this going in.
-SIM card was hard to put in with my nano to micro adapter. I haven't had a phone in awhile where I had to put the sim in the back. This was tricky.
-Screen is pretty nice, very close to my S6 screen
-Snapped a few quick photos and they look good
-Crazy amount of camera controls for me to play with later
-LOVE the standby time on this phone. My s6 is down to 97% from 100 as I drive to work and do nothing. G4 was still at 100% and is still there.
I'll come back to post more later as I think of things.

Where did you get the nano to micro SIM adapter? I figured I would have to activate the SIM card it hopefully comes with since the M8 has a nano-SIM.

I've had one laying around that I bought on Amazon awhile back. It did come with a Micro Sim in box if you want to use that as well. I wanted to keep my Nano Sim active since I switch phones frequently and my other 2 have Nano Sims. Here's the one I have:
Amazon.com: Gold Samdi Brand Nano Sim Adapter and Micro Sim Adapter and Nano to Micro Adapter with a Sim Card Folder and a Needle,pls Place in Wallet Help You Use It Anytime: Cell Phones & Accessories

I have a nano sim in mine without an adapter. It took me 1 try to get it to read correctly. Since its a slot and not a tray, you dont need to buy an adapter.
Got my tracking info but it's not in the UPS system yet. Anyone know where they are shipping out from?
I just called and spoke to a rep. It shipped on Wed and they have no tracking to provide.
It's standard 2-4 day shipping
My new T mobile account has been activated per email but I still did not receive my new LG G 4
Anyone else ?
Anyone else ?
Got mine today. Didnt get to play too much with it yet. One disappointment is that the back leather has three indentation lines on it like it was pressed up against something.

I ordered mine right when they went on sale on the tmobile site. I choose 3 day delivery and the email said i would get it Saturday. I got my tracking info and it said I would not receive it til Tuesday. They shipped it normal ground shipping.
Called and spoke to them to see why I paid for 3 day and got ground. Transfered me to 7 different people and couldn't do anything. They gave me a 40 dollar credit to my bill. Anyone else have the wrong shipping method for their phone?
I have the LG G3 and am excited for the G4. But I can survive a few more days.

Ordered mine on the 27th and selected ground shipping, T-Mobile site said it would be delivered on June 4th, got the notification from UPS and it said it'd be the 29th... Phone and screen protector are currently sitting on my front porch waiting for me to get home from work.

I hit the option that says to upload two different documents. I then uploaded the emailed receipt that has the date of the order, then I uploaded a picture of the box that has the IMEI.

That's what I was going to do but I wasn't sure if the emailed receipt would be sufficient. Not much choice as that's all I have. Hope this works!
