Same issue here ... I even recieved an email saying they are checking on it and said they sent it(never got it) am still waiting 5 days! Would you happen to have the Tech support phone # handy? Thanks...nevermind i got it and am on the phone now with support.

Still haven't gotten mine 6 days later.

I decided to do some snooping. Logged in to my Samsung account to look at my registered devices and for some reason it registered as a completely different device. It was showing that I had registered a black/brown Note (mine is white) with an entirely different serial number than the one I actually entered. I've attempted to send my registration in again, hopefully it won't screw up this time. If it does then I'll have to deal with CS.

How does a tech company screw up a registration process?

EDIT: Re-registering worked. Got my email in like 5-10 minutes.

I have received the $25 store gift card, but how do you claim the $50 voucher code for WatchOn.

I have never used WatchOn, does anyone know if we can buy movies through WatchOn with the $50 voucher?

When did you buy it? Evidently the $50 WatchOn credit just started a few days ago, I got the Play Store and Boingo promos just fine, but it won't let me get the WatchOn one. I bought my Note 8.0 on August 4th from Amazon, and I received and registered it on August 6th.

http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/0...ther-free-stuff-from-hulu-boingo-and-watchon/

Edit-I've contacted Samsung on both their Facebook Samsung Support and Facebook Samsung Mobile USA pages about getting the $50 WatchOn Credit, we'll see what happens.

Update-Well, that answers that-

Samsung Support wrote: "Hi Mike, Unfortunately the WatchOn promotion is only available for US model Note 8.0 WiFi only tablets purchased from 8/9/13 through 9/7/13. Thanks!"

I just got that from Samsung.

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Redefined81:
Hey guys, just wondering if it'd be possible (or already is available) to be able to get the Sense 5.0 messaging app onto other devices like the GS4 or GS3? I absolutely love the way it looks, especially compared to the meh TouchWiz messaging app interface.

Let me know if it's possible, in the works, or cannot be done.

Thanks, everyone.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] holtenc:
I seriously doubt it. I would wager that the Sense 5 messaging app pulls assets from the Sense framework, meaning it's not all wrapped up in the messaging APK. But hey, I could be wrong.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] GuestK00156:
I'd wager that you are right on the dot.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Redefined81:
Ahh, if that is true, it does indeed suck! Is there any developer out there willing to mirror it's appearance? I mean, it's so darn good looking!
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] YoungAceAtlanta:
It's apps in the play store that has a theme of it. Not sense 5 tho.. More like Sense 4
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] nyeazyone:
Do you know if this app includes Group Messaging A La iPhone? I know Verizon phones seems to have that built in, but not ATT ones. At least the ones I've used.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] ErikWithNoC:
Yeah there's an option to turn group messaging on in the settings of the messaging app.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Redefined81:
Ya, was wondering if someone will come out with an app to mirror Sense 5's Messaging. Going to be hard to live without it ^^
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] xXxG0dzRAgexXx:
Sense 5 messaging app is truly gorgeous. Too bad there is no quick reply. Miss Bitesms on my iPhone. Could tap on the notification and a quick reply box would pop up. I would use chompsms which is made by the same developers as Bitesms but the sense 5 messaging app is to elegant to pass up. Needs to be a app that gives you notifications like notifier pro plus but let's you tap the notification to quick reply. :)
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] cdordon:
Try this app. Used to use it on CM before QR was built in.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Greubin:
Strange..I've obtained root via HTC unlocker, followed by installing Meanbean 3.09 which has been running great. Today I wanted to try the carbon Rom. Flashed the carbon Ron and gapps, rebooted and the phone hangs at the HTC screen..I waited several minutes before forcing a reboot which still hangs. I tried flashing with latest CM10, which gave the same results. I was able to restore my last nandroid of meanbean. Has anyone experienced this? My last evo LTE (bought on release day) did not present this problem.

I called Sprint again today(04/24/13), this time they "refreshed" from their end, my data, messaging and phone connections. This fixed the sms issue. Hope this helps someone.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sloth:
A lot of members are confused about the difference between unlocked and S-OFF I'm not trying to sound like an a$$ but I have seen to many members tell me I'm S-Off only to find out they were not they thought unlocking the bootloader made them S-OFF. As you stated it's a factory replacement that's why I'm saying this.

Unlocked = HtcDev

S-OFF = DirtyRacun or FacePalm

No worries..I ran the dirt racuun last night successfully...well other than the broken sms issue.

You might need to call Sprint and have them re-provision your phone it is a side effect of going s-off on some devices

[General Questions and Answers] morgan5814:
Hey all, So I'm working on a T-mobile comet for the time being while I'm stuck with it. One of the things that I've noticed doesn't seem to exist is the Hboot menu. I've had it on every droid I've ever owned, but this one does not happen to be an HTC, so I'm not sure if maybe that's the reason why.

http://cloud.addictivetips.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/s-off.jpg

Is a picture of the menu I'm talking about and I'm just wondering. Is there a way to flash this on the comet?

I don't really see it as being essential to have as I could always just adb reboot recovery, but it'd be nice to have the option if I'm at work or something tinkering and something goes awry. Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] Product F(RED):
HBoot is an HTC-specific protocol/bootloader. That's why it's not on your Comet. What you mean to refer to, in general, is the bootloader screen. I'm not sure what the button combination is for your device, but a quick Google query should get you the answer :)
[General Questions and Answers] morgan5814:
I thought that would probably be the answer. adb reboot recovery still stands as an alternative, just gotta be cautious if I'm toying around and not around a PC (Or not toy around at all. Ha! Yeah right) I did look up some on the bootloader for the comet. It's actually a frozen t-mobile startup screen. Why they would have that as a bootloader I haven't the slightest. Very inefficient and very confusing when attempting to reach a real bootloader at first. Plus side is it's a Comet, so if I break it. Well. Like I said; It's a Comet, Still in the process of debating wether to replace the digitizer and upper portion of my Glacier or just buy a new phone. (Digitizer strand ripped on the Glacier some so not really functional and the power and volume buttons are essentially shot. More effective to just buy a new phone, but I love my Glacier lol)

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] Mr_Armageddon:
I had the chance to try out 2 different "Folio" type cases this week, and decided to do a review comparing them. Here are the competitors:

Samsung Galaxy Note 8 BookCover - $49.99

MiniSuit Classic Standing Case with HandStrap - $14.95

Both cases are generally good, but with weaknesses that would have been easily fixed with more forethought. To start off I will show a few pics comparing the general size and thickness of the two cases.

~
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] Mr_Armageddon:
Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 BookCover

Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 BookCover

Samsung BookCover is the thinner of the two but also offers less protection. It was only available in white when I purchased is, but there should be other colors available shortly. The BookCover is easily removable, and cutouts allow for access to all ports, buttons, sensors, etc except for the MicroSD slot. There is what I assume to be a magnetic sensor towards the left side bezel of the device, because there is a “Sleep / Wake” feature with the BookCover which seems to work well to lock and unlock the device. Unfortunately there are no magnets that hold the cover closed against the front of the screen, or when flipped to the back to the device. Cover flap is a soft material that will do well protecting the screen, but will also most likely get dirty over time as I have seen with other covers of this type.

The smaller of the two angled views (around 30 degrees) works very well, and stays in place while navigating and typing on the device.

The more upright angled view is a pain to deal with. If you don’t have a perfectly flat surface, forget about using this one. Even when on a flat surface, the back kept wanting to kick out, as it seems the tablet isn’t heavy enough to hold it in place. They really should have developed a method for this view what would attach the folding flap to the body of the case, using a slot or magnets, because the current method does not work well at all.

Pros:

Light and Thin

Sleep / Wake function built in

Access to all ports and buttons

Easy to hold, comfortable feel

Cons:

Little protection from drops / spills

Angled views are difficult to maintain in active environment

No magnets or strap to keep flap closed over front of screen

No S Pen holder
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] Mr_Armageddon:
MiniSuit Classic Stand Case with Handstrap for Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0

MiniSuit Classic Stand Case with Handstrap for Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0

I actually purchased the MiniSuite before the Note 8 was even available in the US, and it was at my door the day before the Note 8’s release (thank you Amazon Prime). I purchased the Navy Blue, but there are many other colors currently available. Overall it has been a good case, and has done an excellent job of protecting the device in a household that has 3 children under the age of 5. There are magnets to keep the flap closed on the front of the case, but there is no Sleep / Wake functionality with this case. I also like that they included an elastic band to hold the S-Pen. I personally like using the larger Samsung S-Pen that has the eraser function on the back, and it fits perfectly in the elastic loop. There is another elastic loop on the cover flap that allows you to insert your and when flipped around to the back, and hold the device more secure one-handed. I personally haven’t used this much, but I can definitely imagine some scenarios where this could come in handy. It is thicker than the Samsung option, but the added bulk doesn't make the device any more difficult to hold. The fake leather isn’t slippery and is somewhat soft to the touch.

The smaller of the two angled views isn’t as stable as the Samsung cover, but the more upright view is much better and stable. This is largely due to the fact that the cover slides into a slot that keeps it from moving. I have not had any issues with the device falling over while in this position, even when sitting on my bed with kids jumping around me.

Pros:

Magnets to keep flap closed over front of screen

Built in S-Pen holder

Access to all ports and buttons

Easy to hold, comfortable feel

Will hold up to drops / spills fairly well

Angled views are difficult to maintain in active environment

Cons:

Does add considerable bulk to the device

No Sleep / Wake function built in

Of the two cases, the MiniSuit will be staying on my device, and the Samsung BookCover is going back to Best Buy. I could have overlooked not having magnets to keep it closes, and no S-Pen holder, but not being able to watch movies while propped up unless sitting absolutely still killed any chance of me wanting to keep this accessory. The MiniSuit has been great up to this point, and I have found an application that mimics the “Sleep / Wake” function when the cover is used, so my main gripe has been satisfied. Plus the fact that this case is $35 less than the Samsung option, makes the decision a lot easier.

Feel free to ask any questions that I may not have covered above. Thanks. :D

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] Mr_Armageddon:
CaseSensor for Tablets

So far its working very well with the Note 8, as long as its calibrated correctly.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] Mr_Armageddon:
So being that not having a magnet to deliver the Sleep / Wake function is my biggest gripe against the MiniSuit, I am looking at a way to fix it.

After a bit of experimentation, I found the location that activates sleep / wake. I had originally assumed it was along the bezel, but turns out its behind the screen edge. The location is shown in the attached screen shot. Going to adhere a tiny magnet to the cover and see how it responds. Its below the level of the bezel covet, so shouldn't scratch the sceen at all (although I do use a screen protector just in case).
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] Mr_Armageddon:
The magnet install works great, and the Sleep / Wake function is dead on. Took about 5min to install the magnet, and the backing so the magnetic field didn't effect the device when the cover is folded around to the back. Also has no effect on the S-Pen, which is good to see.

Now the main negative of this case is no longer an issue.

Be careful ordering from this supplier (linked in above post)! Shipping takes forever even with their "airmail". I placed an order on the 18th, and just got shipping notification yesterday (11 days later), with a shipping number, but no way to track it (Hong Kong air mail tracking doesn't seem to recognize it). So I still have no clue to when it will arrive, or even if this is a legitimate business. I am willing to give them 10 more days before I raise the issue with my credit card company since shipping from China does have a tendency to take a couple of weeks or even more, so it's probably nothing to be concerned about, just slow mail.
