I took one back because it couldn't sense touching the keyboard, they have issues.

Big screen but these are kinda crappy. The M10 is built much better.
Did you buy it from Metro?

Yes! Comparing Fire tablet that I have, the touch on the Galaxy A9+ is bad. I had trouble double tapping on youtube to fast forward for example, and general other touch operations just required retrying. If the touch sensitivity is an issue across the board...I'm not sure even $50 is worth it.

Keep in mind that I even set the touch sensitivity up in the settings.

I was trying to order the Tab a7 lite and it was out of stock. but suddenly I saw yesterday that they increased the price by 20$ and also found this guy down below but couldn't order as it was out of stock online. Lucky I saw this today.
A7 lite is really really slow. Don't buy it.

Lol. I just saw your question and checked my mail, and received, a minute later, an email from Tmobile (not Metro) with shipping confirmation, with UPS tracking number which is not yet trackable.

I had run into similar issues previously whether it was adding additional line or ordering via new account for someone else in the family - new to Metro. After several chats and calls, I think I narrowed down the root cause. It turns out when you are logged in and ordering anything but do not complete the order (even if you only added to shopping cart and not provided your credit card info), Metro seems to take that shopping cart session as a pending order. Once you have a pending order , you WILL NOT BE ELIGIBLE TO ADD ANOTHER LINE. When I first got my new Metro service, I was able to see Add A Line link and in the beginning, I just wanted to test out website ordering, so I added stuffs in to my cart, forgot to remove, and next time I logged in, the link to add line disappeared. After that I was always seeing "not eligible to add line" message. So yesterday, due to some scumbag phone agent giving me wrong information about needing to switch plan to switch device (and still revert back to original plan 2-3 hours later), I lost my $25 unlimited plan. So after several calls and chats, an agent was able to get me the best option - $40 unlimited plan (I was only able to see limited data plan formless than $50). That somehow cleared my previous incomplete orders, and I was again seeing the link to add line.

Then again the curious me wanted to check if it would actually work. So I added a new phone to cart and selected port in with a fake port in info. I did not add my card info and did not complete the order. I logged back in from another browser, and lo behold! I was again ineligible. Damn. Then chatted with an agent who said he saw pending port order in hold, and only one order can be placed at a time, and not before that order goes thru and I activate the new line. So the only way for me to be able to add line was to clear all pending orders in Metro system. He asked me to call port department to cancel the port which also took couple of calls worth about 2.5 hours total. Finally the port agent cancelled the pending port, and also escalated the issue to order back office team to cancel the rest of the order. After several hours, I checked and I was. Then able to see the link to add a line.

Then I saw the new listing for A9+ which was OOS at the moment and became available this morning, and I was able to place the order successfully.
And all it cost you was your grandfathered $25 unlimited plan

A reboot solved it but it had some issues, I couldn't type...

I prefer android over IOS but the tablet isn't that good at all...
I looked into it online recently. Seems like Samsung hasn't resolved the issue and won't be anytime soon?

Too bad Metro doesn't offer the S9 FE because that could be a solid alternative.

Yeah, doesn't seem worth the headache tbh. When an older Kindle Fire has a better touchscreen than a relatively new Samsung tablet, that's pretty sad.

Basic things like FF and RWD on YouTube and simple operations are expected to work. It's not like most people will be buying this thing for Genshin Impact. But when it can't even run a basic tablet right, that's an issue.

Just an FYI for those with the option to extend for 3 days with no penalty. After receiving the email notification and seeing that my credit card was processed, checking the metro account, $20 was applied to my bill and my balance is $30 due by the 21st.

Safe to say that I no longer have to worry about having an active account to activate the tablet once I receive it since I am good until the 21st.

For reference, and to recap, I purchased the moto stylus deal posted prior, added the Samsung A7 lite deal late February, plan expired, extended 72 hours yesterday, able to add this tablet deal, card processed and shipping notification received today, online account shows extension out until the 21st, and a balance of $30 remaining.

Hope this helps others who may be in the same boat.

Not just that, I also lost my $15 credit (from insurance removal and plan downgrade at the beginning). That was not pleasant; I was pissed off, but there was nothing that could be done to make it better. Thankfully, this new tablet deal came in, I got back my superpower to add a line, and I felt like maybe I need to get this tablet and get even Big Grin
