So I got to hold the Orchid Grey S8+. I pre-ordered this color for my wife in the S8. I'll have to say, the color is magnificent. Darker than I expected and slightly irridescent, but beautiful. Myself, I pre-ordered the Midnight Black (also stunning). Looking forward to having it in hand instead of attached to a safety lock at the Verizon/AT&T store.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] seawolf823:
Just found out from the store manager at my local AT&T that they will be shipping early as a surprise to their customers. Could be why my order has been changed to preparing for shipment instead of just in process.

Are you certain you would be able to buy one on the spot? Pre-order is to beat the hassle. Mine is being shipped to my home address. Why be out in all the possible madness when you can receive your phone at home, activate it on the spot and just chill and enjoy setting it up.

I thought I was the only one who had such a consistent problem with Samsung.

Note 2 - started lagging horribly after about 9 months.

S6 - battery life and standby time were so bad I ended up buying out my JUMP! plan and selling it.

Note 5 - Worked great for about 10 months, then got a mediaserver battery drain bug and the battery life and performance became terrible.

S7 - Has been laggy and slow since the day I got it, even compared to phones 1-2 years older.

Meanwhile, every phone I've had between those devices, a Moto X, a OnePlus One, and an Xperia Z3, have all worked great.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] FluxionFluff:
Pre-ordered the S8+ in Orchid Gray. Super excited for the phone~!! April 21st can't come soon enough! Haha! XD Originally pre-ordered the S8, same color, but ended up switching it to the S8+.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] piscesjoey:
Going by Sprint after work, but I was only going there to see if they have the S8+ already on demo to play with.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] bishmaster5000:
I don't think I'd still be buying Samsung if I had as many problems as you guys did. My GS 1 had GPS issues, but after I put a ROM on it it worked like a champ. Functioned far better than any other smart phone at the time and still works to this day. You can see in my sig I've owned a few sammies :P

Meanwhile my first and only LG, my < 6month old V20 is already acting poorly. Camera never took a good picture even once, signal is terribly weak and data transfers are often slow. Yesterday the home button stopped working 100%, had to battery pull to make it work again. It constantly turns itself on in my pocket and messes with whatever I last had open. At random the battery will die overnight, like 90%+ to 0, every other night it won't even lose 5%. My only iPhone was a terrible mess too.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] CConn882:
I'm honestly not 100% sold on having an S8+, tbh. I have it on preorder, so I'll try it out at least, but if it doesn't blow my S7 out of the water, I'm returning it and just getting a OnePlus.

The last iPhone I had was a 4. It actually worked pretty well software -wise. My hardware buttons broke randomly like 3 times, though. I've never had an LG - their rep is mediocre enough that I'm usually suspicious of their phones, haha.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] GreeleyXda:
i have bad luck in general,

the htc max the speakers kept going out

had a note with sprint, the assured me there was reception in my area. my whole block was a deadzone.

got the xperia z1 with tmobile, they kept saying i was using my hotspot when i didnt even know how to turn it on.

only non defective phones i had were my note 2 (still works fine) and my nexus 6 (didnt really like messing with roms, prefer having samsung pick for me).

in reality i should of gave up mobile phones awhile ago xD

but i love having two apps open at once on my samsung phones, use my gear vr a lot, and use my spen a lot.

so im giving up the spen in exchange for having more media space for my gear vr, as right now i use usb sticks lol.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] bishmaster5000:
Yeah if I still had my Note 7 (or an S7+ if it existed) I wouldn't have even considered this S8, but this V20 is just not holding up. It's nothing that keeps me from using the phone, its just little annoyances. As much as I want to root for the underdog, I think LG just isn't a flagship company that can compete with the more established players. Don't think I can ever get another non-AMOLED again either, regular LCDs just look so washed out. Checked out the S8+ at BB so I ordered my S8+ (OG) today. My one and only iPhone experience was terrible, hardware wise, and I'll never consider an iPhone because of how locked down their software is.

Ouch, that is some bad luck.

I do miss my s-pen. Loved it on my Note 4 and Note 7. Hopefully the Note 8 is just as awesome as the Note 7 was, I'll jump in a heartbeat. Hell I'd be happy to be still using the Note 7 if it were a safer device.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] seawolf823:
If I had to guess I would say that ATT should start shipping on Mon if they keep the same track as the G6. Release day for the G6 was 4/7 and mine shipped 3/27. So seeing as they are updating statuses to preparing for shipment I would expect to start seeing tracking numbers in the next few days.

Seriously man chill out. You will get it before the 21st.

Sign up for MyUPS and you will get a email notification when a shipping label is created that matches your name and address. Download the UPS app and get notifications that way as well.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] mustankid:
Gotcha,so it can match my name or address or is it both?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] tourbound129:
I think it is both. I have all possible combinations of my name registered plus other members of my household that get packages. That way I know if anything is coming for anyone in the house.

What does it being Saturday have to do with shipping on Monday? My G6 was shipped before my card was charged You want screen shots for proof

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] tourbound129:

Not sure about that. I do everything in the app.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] mustankid:
Is it for the paid "My ups choice" or free? I'm using the free one

It should be part of the free. I set it before I signed up for the paid.

The wait is the worst part. This is the first time I've pre-ordered any device and I have to say, having your money gone but no device in front of you just sucks.

I was told by a supervisor this morning it will be shipping Monday the 17th for Samsung.com USA orders. I must add that I DO NOT TRUST ANYTHING SAMSUNG SAYS.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] MeltdownSpectre:
[MENTION=4579142]Bayfisher[/MENTION]

I ordered through a 3rd party retailer.

The S8 hasn't launched in Pakistan yet, so I've had to pay half price first and the rest when the phone is ready to ship. It ships in the Middle East on the 22nd, so I believe I get it around 25th or 26th.

I hope however that because shipping dates for you guys are changing and 954wrecker said they ship 17th, that my shipping date gets pushed back early and I get it soon.

What cases are you all planning to get?

I'm a fan of Spigens thin fit series, but already had that on my S7 edge.

I like their new Liquid Armour case for the S8 Plus, might just order both and swap them around whenever I want. :)

They should create the sub forums soon and we can deal with our different versions then.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] busab:
They should have had the sub forums up from the beginning. It's not like it wasn't known if the S8 was coming to all the major carriers. And for God's sake they already have a half a million forums on this site. Most of which are useless. What's three more?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] billinaz:

Can we get this thread shut down. People's misunderstanding of what a preorder is is getting ridiculous and annoying.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] raptoro07:
That other guy said he preordered on the 3rd. I'm sure April 3rd, which was 6 days ago. The earliest preorder was available anywhere was March 30. You're so worked up about nothing that you're not reading and thinking correctly. Samsung has said that the release date for the US is April 21. Whether or not carriers or stores have it now is irrelevant. It is possible that some may ship them earlier, but Samsung controls the release date and I'm sure they'll honor that. What should have been clear to you when you preordered as it was for me was that you can preorder to be eligible for the extras and that you should receive the phone on or around April 21. That's why your complaint is so confusing. You make no sense.

I guess only time will tell.

In the Middle East, the websites say if you order a GS8/S8+ now, expected delivery is between 15th and 17th April, but when I ordered, the expected delivery date said 21st April, and my order still says the same.

A bit unfair don't you think, the people who order later get their phones earlier, yet me who ordered a few days ago gets it on the 21st.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Tom-Helge:
I have also pre-ordered the Galaxy S8+ in black from Telia here in Norway. So i will get it around the 28th of April.

I can't wait to get it :laugh:.

I currently have a Galaxy S6 edge+ that is still a great phone, so i will most likely sell it with a Gear VR headset after i have got the Galaxy S8+.

I'm not sure what sprint is going to do. Their shipping page states 4/17 for shipment date online, but once the order was actually placed, on the order page, it says 4/21. Kind of hoping that's just a fail safe date and it ships 4/17. I've had enough of the S7E. Worst phone I've had in a long time. I miss the Note 7 bad.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] raptoro07:
What the pages say is that Shipping "Start" 4/17. Hopefully that means shipping to us! :)

The other page says to be delivered by 4/21, meaning hopefully, that you will have your device in your hands on 4/21 at the latest.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] nosympathy:
true, but they make you pay for an expedited shipping, like it'll go out 4/17 and get there faster lol. Probably just a gimmick though.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] ralfs:
People that work at retailers are reporting that they received the devices yesterday and today they are giving them to people that made preorders.

Official release date is 21-April and retailers already had campaign that if you preorder you get the device 8 days earlier. 21-8=13 April.

I guess they started delivering 1 day earlier.

It is not tester. You can see that it has a label from Public (Greek retailer) with price tag (929 EUR) on the box...

Note Greece gets Exynos not Snapdragon - maybe Samsung had those devices made earlier....

Hello everyone, I have LG G3 D851 T-Mobile.

I was on 5.0.1 and wanted to install custom ROM and for this I needed to install custom recovery first so I used Flashify to install TWRP (twrp-3.1.0-0-d851.img) , installation works fine it says installation complete, but when I restart the phone it starts bootloop.

So I restored my phone back to stock (4.4.2), rooted and again repeat flashify process this time again the same issue of bootloop.

Can Anyone here help me in this matter.
