Ok cool, it would be nice if I got the black ones, I wish they gave us a choice though.  Mine should be shipped out next week.

Yeah I return the S10 and I got myself an Xbox one x so I'm happier now

I have not received my buds yet.

I just received a notification that they shipped.  Tracking says they'll be here tomorrow.

Does anyone notice that when you are on a call, above the signal bars, a little green dot flashes?

That's strange, I registered mine on the same day and mine were shipped on friday.

Got my buds in white, they are really nice looking and are quite comfortable. Sound quality is definitely better than the wired AKG buds in the box, think I will like these.

[clbowens]

I will say that after I enabled the adaptive battery option and disabled the always on display (even though I really like that feature), my battery life has improved greatly.

Took my phone off of the charger late monday night and I'm just now putting it on the charger with 11% battery left.  I got 3 days and about 12 hours on that one charge with about 4 hours and 42 minutes of on screen time which included youtube, calls, messages, emails but no gaming.  Usage was relatively light since my note 9 is my work horse at the moment but battery life has really impressed me so far.

Mine said they were shipped on Tuesday, but fedex says they will not be delivered until tomorrow.

My buds were delivered today.  I registered on 3/6.

I will definitely say that on a scale of one to attend with my experience what's the S10 is that I would rate it about a 7 out of 10 the really bad battery life that I had even with the machine learning completed and knowing my usage patterns and the adaptive battery option enabled still wasn't that great so it knock three points off what I would put down and say was an excellent phone but to those who like it or power to then

Did you ever have shipping information?

Yes, I received an alert on my phone (from the Shop Samsung app) that they shipped.  I also received an email.  Both had a FedEx tracking number.

I even registered for it later in the day on 3/6 (around 9pm EST)

[themuffinman]

Well it says the week of 3/18 so i wouldn't start to worry until next week.  Don't feel bad though, I registered on the 3/7 and mines ship the week of 3/25

[clbowens]

Yeah, I know my status bounced back and forth from shipping week of 3/18 and shipping week of 3/25.

Oh ok, mine has said 3/25 the whole time.

Learned something about the WiFi-calling that might help folks here, something I did not know about Apps or App properties/permissions and roaming data restrictions.

Background: WiFi-calling has difficulty working when Sprint cellular signal is weak and/or when roaming, but fine when Sprint cellular signal is strong. Get constant error of location can not be determined, Wi-Fi calling then does not work. 

Maybe partial resolution: Go to Settings (general) > Apps > click overflow menu dots top right > show system apps > search for "calling" > click on Wi-Fi Calling > Mobile data > change "Restrict background data" to "Never" from "while roaming only". 

Doesn't make a ton of sense since WiFi calling isn't using "Mobile Data", but it appears to help get LESS of the above location errors, and Wi-Fi calling actually works when in a limited cellular network environment. Perhaps it is also not causing a timeout in the app? Hard to say. 

I went ahead and set this same permission on a lot of apps that I would like to behave better while roaming like Google, etc.

My buds have shipped via FedEx with to tracking number. No eta attached to tracking number yet though.

Looks like the global version of the fold will have the snapdragon SOC, I think Samsung knows their exynos chip sucks in comparison lol.

Thanks much for this.  Probably should also set it to full use while data saver is on.

Didn't even know about the roaming data restrictions until this post.  That probably explains why if you have dropped signal, Google will sometimes wait until native to search etc.
