A question about Droid pre-order and contract status

Hi,
I preorded the droid from best buy the first day preorders were available. The person who handled my order didn't mention problems with my current contract status. My 2yr contract isn't up till 4/2010, and from reading here, it seems that best buy doesn't do the 1yr early upgrades.
So when I go down to best buy on friday to attempt to pick up my phone what are gonna be my options?
$599 retail price, or nothing? And so, will they refund my $50?
Would they do the 1yr and $369 price, if they consider I put in over one year on my current contract and consider it a $1yr? (I read someone say this would be an option)
Solved!

Who does best buy sell phones to if they don't offer upgrades? Just new customers and people with expired accounts?
Can someone explain this post to me? http://www.howardforums.com/showpost.php?p=13177342&postcount=32
According to the guy that posted that, he was orginally denied, like has been said here. but then the looked it up and told him they'd honor the 1yr early upgrade.
To me, it just doesn't make much sense to not honor what verizon does.. cause you'd be losing lots of business. Anyone who is up for NE2, and denied honoring it by BB will just go to the verizon store, or order it online via verizons website. Anyone 1 year into their 2 year contract who is denied the 1yr early upgrade that verizon offers, and who doesn't care much about waiting for their $100-$50 NE2 discount will again be forced to buy elsewhere cause BB turns them away.
I'm not trying to make threats that BB needs to change. Just trying to draw attention to something that makes no sense to lots of customers. And would like someone to actually look into this again, since it seems to vary from store to store, clerk to clerk.

Yet ANOTHER question about the Pre-Order

When the IPAD came out, I selected the pre-order pick up at store option. With the IPAD, the policy was to get there before 3:00 or your reserved IPAD would be released to the anyone who wasn't pre-ordered. Does anyone know if this time is the same for the new IPhone?

the confirmation email for the iphone said you had until the store closed on the 24th to pick it up or your reservation would be canceled and you would need to setup a new reservation.

Question about "fast fsck", ext4 and defragmentation status [SOLVED]

I'm trying to use fsck to do a defacto defragmentation check of an ext4 partition. I'm running fsck from a live cd (SysRescue 1.15) to check one of my ext4 partitions. The ext4 partition is unmounted, of course.
The check goes amazingly fast, but it doesn't give me any info about the percentage of non-contiguous inodes, which I understand to be the the same as the percentage of defragmentation (true?). I'm thinking this is because of the new "fast fsck" feature of ext4, as detailed below.
My question: can I force a "slow fsck" in order to get a complete check including the inode-contiguity info? Or is there another way to get at the defragmentation status using fsck?
Thanks.
FWIW, here's the info on "fast fsck" from the excellent http://kernelnewbies.org/Ext4 page:
2.7. Fast fsck
Fsck is a very slow operation, especially the first step: checking all the inodes in the file system. In Ext4, at the end of each group's inode table will be stored a list of unused inodes (with a checksum, for safety), so fsck will not check those inodes. The result is that total fsck time improves from 2 to 20 times, depending on the number of used inodes (http://kerneltrap.org/Linux/Improving_f … ds_in_Ext4). It must be noticed that it's fsck, and not Ext4, who will build the list of unused inodes. This means that you must run fsck to get the list of unused inodes built, and only the next fsck run will be faster (you need to pass a fsck in order to convert a Ext3 filesystem to Ext4 anyway). There's also a feature that takes part in this fsck speed up - "flexible block groups" - that also speeds up filesystem operations.

Thanks, Ranguvar. I had read the man page for fsck.ext3, but I hadn't run across the page for fsck.ext4. The link was helpful.

Can I cancel my iPhone 6 plus pre order and still keep my upgrade?

We pre ordered the phone on 2 month contract upgrade, but now we want to cancel the pre order. The phone still hasn't shipped yet, it's supposed to ship out by the end of the month, so can we cancel the pre order and still keep the upgrade for a different phone?

ba1696,
Ordering a new phone and being able to purchase one at any time is certainly exciting. If you purchase a new phone and have not received it,you most certainly can cancel the order and keep your uprgade date the same. Was there any particular reason you were wanting to cancel the order for the iPhone 6? Was the order placed online or over the phone? We have all of the options available for you.

Destiny - $10 Reward Certificate for Pre-order and Purchase

So as the title states, according to BB's promotion,anyone that pre-orders the Destiny game and purchases it, gets a $10 reward certificate.
I was one of the lucky few that actually pre-ordered the Destiny Limited Edition and did not have it get cancelled due to limited suppy. Regardless, why doesn't the Destiny Limited Edition have the special offer for the $10 reward certificate for pre-order and purchase? I am hoping this is just an oversite.

Album wont download after i pre ordered and paid.

I pre ordered the album Salute by Little Mix and it came out today and it says purchased but it still wont download. I have money in my account so I have no clue why it wont download.

Hello, Rachel.
I have experienced this exact same issue for a Pre-order album as well. I would recommend canceling the Pre-order and download it again as it most likely has not been charged. This article will walk you though the process.

It does not cover my question about in what order does the sync work?

It does not cover my question about in what order does the sync work?
Does the first signed on computer copy its information to the cloud?
Does the second computer/pad/cell then download the information from the cloud overwriting the information on the second device even if some of the information is different?
What happens to the information on the second device that is not in the cloud?
If you delete a record (eg a bookmark) from the second device how does it then delete it on the first device?
What are the keys to the different types of information?

Hi I have answered you questions inline below:
Does the first signed on computer copy its information to the cloud?
Yes when you first set up the account or when you first add a device to the cloud, if it is not the first time, it will merge with the other data
Does the second computer/pad/cell then download the information from the cloud overwriting the information on the second device even if some of the information is different?
By default it merges. There is no option to change this.
What happens to the information on the second device that is not in the cloud?
It will sync at the next sync interval if that data is selected to sync.
If you delete a record (eg a bookmark) from the second device how does it then delete it on the first device? What are the keys to the different types of information?
It resolved the entry the next time the first and second device syncs. Can you elaborate on the second part of this question?

Gaming Pre-orders and Gamers Club Unlocked

Everytime I pre-order a game, I'm charged the full price (minus the deposit) when I go to pick it up. I purchased Gamers Club Unlocked last October and should be getting 20% off until October 2016.
The first time I tried to use the promotion on a pre-order was last November (less than a month from purchasing the service). I pre-ordered a game that had the 500 Rewards points promotion for pre-order and purchase. When I went to pick up the game, I was charged in full. I told the associate that I had GCU, so he had to adjust the price manually. I'm not sure about all the math but it deducted points from that 500 point promotion.
The last time I went to pick up a pre-ordered game was 2 days ago; I also had a $5 reward certificate with me. Once again, 20% was not taken off the purchase so the associate asked for help from a few others. After about 15 minutes and a couple voids. They had to treat the pre-order as a normal purchase and refund me the $5 pre-order deposit. That's fine seeing as there really was no pre-order bonus on this particular item.
I'm just asking: do I have to go through this everytime I pre-order a game at Best Buy?

Greetings WN_Orlais,
It is strange that you would have such difficulties with receiving your Gamers Club Unlocked benefits if it is appropriately attached to your My Best Buy membership. Receiving these benefts, especially when pre-ordering games, should be a painless process, and I'm sorry to hear it hasn't been for you.
Using the information registered with the forum, I see that your Gamers Club Unlocked membership appears to be attached appropriately. With having said that, I'm sorry to say I can't speak as to why you have encountered these issues.
I do see that when you originally went to pickup your most recent pre-order, that you did receive the Gamers Club Unlocked discount, and that your My Best Buy certificate was applied. However, this transaction left off your pre-order deposit, which led to the chain of reprocessing the transaction a few times to get it sorted out. I apologize for any hassle that this has caused.
If you continue to experience trouble with pre-ordering, please let us know so that we may look further into this with you!
Sincerely,
Tasha|Social Media Specialist | Best Buy® Corporate

The Diff Between Pre-Order and Reserved

Pre-Order:
You walk into the store between the 24th and the 1st of July and walk out with an iPhone 4.
Reserved:
You stand in line after all the pre-order people have gotten their iPhones (or if they don't show up, their phone is held for 7 days) and any extra phones are given to you, in a first come, first serve of the people who reserved. You are not guaranteed to get one.
No Pre-Order or Reserve:
You get dibs on the phone after all the reserve people have gotten their phone.
End of story. Please stop asking.

Sorry, that doesn't make any sense. I mean, I get that a lot of people don't know there's even a difference between "pre-order" and "reserve", but why would "reserve" people have to wait until after all the "pre-order" people get their phones? The Apple store employees know not to give away the pre-order phones, I'm assuming they're pulling from a different "pile".
And there have been a few people on here who have said that Apple employees assure them there is an actual phone with their name on it. Difference is, their phone isn't programmed to their account yet and the reservation expires at the end of the day (as opposed to pre-ordered phones which expire after 7 days.) Not that the Apple store employees know all, they sure didn't today, but if it's a consistent answer like this, I'm inclined to believe them. Also, then, what's the point in telling the reservation people to come at 7AM if they're not even going to start giving them out then?

Samsung Galaxy S6 pre-order and demo unit?

The pre-orders go up tomorrow for AT&T (and T-Mobile) but none of the stores around me have ANY information. They've also not heard anything about the demo units they are supposed to have tomorrow. According to the Samsung website both of my local stores will be getting a demo unit but neither of them have any idea about it.
I don't care so much about the demo unit but I want to know what pre-order bonus Best Buy will be including? I've heard some talks about the wireless charger being included if you pre-order but T-Mobile is offering up on free year of Netflix if you pre-order through them. Could we get a clarification please?

Hello DextarRogue,
I really like it when a new device comes along that piques my interest. It really adds to the excitement of a new purchase for me. You ask really great questions about the Samsung Galaxy S6!
About the in-store demo: I recommend keeping in touch with your local store about this issue. As for special pre-order offerings, it looks there is an offering. Please visit BestBuy.com for more information.
I hope this helps. If you have more questions, please let me know.

Destiny Limited Edition Pre-order and My Best Buy

If you pre-order Destiny on any console, you get a $10 certificate. Does this apply to the limited edition version as well?

Hi sbauer318,
With the recent additions of the Limited and Ghost Editions of Destiny, it’s no surprise there would be questions about your My Best Buy benefits when pre-ordering the different versions! Like everyone else, I’m pretty excited to check out Destiny, although I only went with the Standard Edition. I’m beginning to wonder if I should have splurged for at least the Limited Edition.
To answer your question, yes, the Limited Edition should also apply to the $10 My Best Buy Reward Certificate bonus when pre-ordering with Best Buy. To my knowledge, all physical versions of Destiny, including the Ghost and Limited Edition, qualify for the promotion.
If you’re yet to get your pre-order in, I’d suggest heading over to the Destiny page on BestBuy.com and doing so while the Limited Editions are still available! Also, please feel free to let us know if you have any other questions.
Cheers,

Droid Pre-Order

Hello,
I have pre-ordered a droid at my best buy with the $50 deposit. Am I garunteed to get one on friday? The sheet I got has an 11 in the corner so I assume I was the 11th to pre-order. Is it first come first serve among the preorders or is it based off the number? Also what is the non-contract price of the phone at BB? Thanks!

It might not be the store's fault. The ASM might not have relayed that information to the Mobile Manager. I know that our manager didn't know initially, and I wound up being the one to find out. You shouldn't jump to blaming the store right off.
