The number is 1-800-SAMSUNG, but I wouldn't suggest calling them unless you have at least 3 hours free time to wait on hold. My short hold was a little over 3 hours of the 2 times I have called.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] raptoro07:
The email they sent should say you're registered for the bundle and now you can click the link to go but the 99 extra promotion. You do not have to also buy that.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] Nitemare3219:
"You can purchase your fully immersive Gear VR Experience* for $99 now by clicking the link below. We recommend you purchase now as this gift is available for a limited time, while supplies last, on a first-come, first-served basis. "

That's what my email says. To me, that means it was approved for the $99 bundle and I can purchase it now. When I registered, it clearly gave the option of the free kit or the $99 bundle, so I don't know why it's even mentioning the $99 bundle unless there was an error in my registration.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] droidrev71:
Good old Sammy loophole! Works even better when you exchange day one and can get two promo packs.

I didn't do this but I know it's been done in the past and currently.

I was lucky to get the immersive bundle. Waiting for mine to ship.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] teflon79:
I had no trouble. I was able to place my order.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] mha1021:
Just wanted to let you guys know that last night I received the Fedex tracking number for Gear VR that It has shipped. BTW submitted my T-Mobile receipt on 19th April and was approved the same day using Samsung shop app.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] jwats01:
I pre-ordered via t-Mobile and registered for the $99 promotion on 4/19 when I rec'd my phone. Got a successful registration on the web page, but never got any email. I would randomly check my gift status on www.samsungpromotions.com and it said I was registered, but there was no pay now button.

Today I checked my status, and got the same notice, but there was a link to download the samsung shopping app, which I clicked on. In there was my link to pay now! I paid, and almost immediately got my order confirmation email. Now just waiting on shipping confirmation.

Good luck!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] pirateye:
I placed the order on the 19th, got the phone on the 21st and submitted the form before 11am the same day. Registration was accepted and submission approved on the 22nd. Since then I'm still at "Processing gift".

There's still a chance... I called in today and was told that I should get the link by the next week and to give it time because of the high demand. They also gave me a ticket number. Fingers crossed!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] billinaz:
I got the link, but the system would not process the order at $99. Now it says the promo code is invalid"

I tried calling, chatting, facebook messaging, but I still have no way to pay for the order that I got the link for.

Samsung screwed this up big time. If they were trying to make themselves seem incompetent, they succeeded.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] yomitancho:
I submitted mine on the 21st when I picked up the phone at 10:15am and approved on the 22nd. My status has been on "Processing gift" since then and I have yet to receive an email with the link so that I can pay for it. I contacted samsung promotion department today over the phone after a 1 hour and 26 minutes long wait listening to their on hold music and the message that states that the $99.00 vr bundle is not available anymore but you can still get the free vr bundle. I talked to a rep and they verified that I was approved for the $99.00 vr bundle and she created a ticket for the promotions advanced team. They should contact me in 24 to 48 hours with information on how to pay the $99.00. I will update when I received their email. Maybe this might help people that are in my same situation that they were approved but had not received their email to pay.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] howser87:
I got to that exact same status point back on the 25th. I have since had an email conversation with a rep that takes days to reply. He's been no help and wont say anything either way. I have called 3 more times since then and was told by promotions dept that the e-commerce dept needed to finish processing, then the e-commerce dept yelled at me (very rude for the whole call) and now I am calling back again to try the promotions dept again. Honestly, at this point with seeing how they treat their customers when they themselves have made a mistake, I am considering returning my phone. I only have a couple days left to do so, but I don't want to get stuck with it when they have displayed how much they value my time and money.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] yomitancho:
I would not doubt them doing that. one thing I did was record my conversation with the rep, yea I know that they supposedly annotate everything in the computer. But I am sure that there are a lot of times that they do not annotate what they don't want other people to know that they have said. So I am hopping that me having the conversation recorded as proof of what they said if they refuse to honor the issue might help me. Since I am sure that they don't expect for customers to record the conversations with them.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] sebastianraven:
How do you even get on a call with those guys? I have tried on 3 different occasions and have been on hold for over 45 min before I finally give up.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] yomitancho:
I was on hold for 1 hour 26 minutes before I was able to talk to someone.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] tracerit:
Has anyone received their Infinitely Immersive bundle yet? I placed the order on 4/21, it was approved on 4/22 and has been stuck on "Processing Gift" since. The Status is "Congratulations! Your submission has been approved and your gift has been processed." The next status is "gift shipped" but I'm not there yet. My credit card hasn't been charged yet either.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] Curtai:
Yeah I received my bundle super fast, I received my phone on the 19th, I filled out the paperwork the same night and I ended up getting approved the 20th and I had a delivery notification of package coming Tuesday the 23rd... I got the Immersive Bundle with the headphones and the 256GB SD card too. It was awesome. I only remember all of that because I went in that Saturday the 27th and swapped out my Otterbox Commuter for the Otterbox Defender case at my local Best Buy. I think I got my order in before the bulk of people since I did it right away and initially my phone wasn't supposed to be sent to me until the 21st.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] nosympathy:
I registered the 19th, paid the 20th and just got mine yesterday. If that tells you anything. The immersive bundle. Well worth the $99 btw.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] Kil4Thril:
Mine went to the gift processed/shipped status 2 days ago on the website. Samsung Shop shows nothing yet, and no tracking email. I figure I'll wander in from work today or tomorrow and the fiance or one of the kids will meet me at the door with it. Lol. Her older boy is watching for it since I gave him my 64GB card for his tablet
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] bot146:
Screwed me as well. False advertising.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] yomitancho:
Update on my experience trying to get my $99.00 bundle.

OK well I got an email form a samsung tier III rep and this is what it says :

"Thank you for reaching out to us. Our system indicates that your submission has been successful thus far. We apologize for the delay. In order to successfully redeem the bundle, an email including a promo code for the Bundle and instructions is sent to ensure a successful redemption. It is my recommendation to you to be sure to check your spam/junk folder. At this point we ask that you please contact the eCommerce support number for the Dream Offer is 855-SAM-USA1 to receive further assistance regarding your prize redemption.

In the event that you've already completed your purchase for the Bundle, no further action is needed. You can allow 6-8 weeks for delivery. If you have any additional questions or concerns, please let me know. "

I contacted them after a 1 hour and 10 minutes wait, I talked to the rep he updated my case and was assured that since I had been approved for the $99.00 and that my issue was that I had not received the email to make the payment that I was still counted as one of the people that could purchase it. Now got to wait for a new email from their tier III personnel to continue on trying to solve my issue.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] Greatbape:
My bundle just arrived today. No shipping notice. I just happened to check the status last night and saw it would arrive today. Still haven't been charged the 99 dollars.

Update: they just charged me
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] jaben2:
Just got my shipping notification. I was approved on the 21st for the$99 bundle. Arrives on Tuesday
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] pirateye:
After calling every other day since my first post here and waited for 2 to 3 hours to talk to a support representative, I eventually got my case escalated.

4 days passed since the escalation and finally, I got the email with the link. I haven't had any issues placing the order, shipping shows as 2 days air-us. I'm wondering when I'll get the package...

So I guess there's still a change if you submitted the application in time and got approved. Good luck ppl!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] LoliSmith:
I was approved but never got the link to pay. I called and called and called and had it escalated. Still no email with a link. I checked the Shop Samsung app and there was the Buy Now button so I was able to pay. But I never got a confirmation email and my order is not making any progress.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] pirateye:
See that's weird cause I got the email but when I checked the app, there was no option to buy it and I placed the order on the web. If I were you, I would call them again and ask what's going on.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] LoliSmith:
I am going to give it until the end of the week to call. The hold times are ridiculous.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] pirateye:
Now it's much "better". Last time it took ~1h
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] pirateye:
I'm wondering if they use FedEx for all their shipments...
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] howser87:
Update on mine:

I finally got the purchase email yesterday. I saw it on my phone and tapped it because I was so excited I just wanted to make sure it was real. Ran to my computer and placed my order.

This morning I checked and the money was out of my account, and the status page has updated to shipped. I haven't gotten any other notification or tracking information though.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] yomitancho:
Update on my experience trying to get my $99.99 bundle:

Well I got a new email today about 2 hours ago with the link to pay for the $99.99 bundle finally. So I opened the Samsung shop app, clicked on My promotions, then on view status and it gave me the option to pay for my $99.99 bundle. Now the odd part was that it gave me the option to pay for up to 3 bundles yet I had only purchase 1 phone so not sure if everyone got that option or if it was just given to me cause I had been in contact with their tier III support people due to not have received the email with the payment link. It also gave me the option of 2 day air for shipping yet there was no charge for it so not sure on that. They even all ready took the money from my bank they sure are quick at taking money compare to the time that i had to spent it getting the promotion.

So for the people who are having issues claiming their $99.99 bundle all I can say is contact Samsung and make sure that your ticket is escalated to a tier III that seems to make things more smooth in resolving the issues also have patience. Getting mad at someone over the phone is not going to solve the issue it might just make it worst. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] pirateye:
I hat the same experience.. How many did you order? Did get all 3 of them? Lol
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] yomitancho:
There was no need for me to get more than what I was supposed to get. I would feel bad if me getting more than the one I was supposed to get would lead to some one that was supposed get one not get theirs.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] topaz330:
Got the email last night to pay for my 99 bundle which I did. It was sitting at approved since the 22nd so I was quiet surprised to see that in my inbox. Lets see how long it takes to ship now
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] pirateye:
That's exactly what I'm wondering too... ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] yomitancho:
As long as you get the email or notice the option in the samsung shop app to pay and pay. Then all you have to do is just wait to receive it, at least you know you are getting yours.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] pirateye:
Did you get any tracking info?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] shutyourface:
Took forever to get the email but i got the 99 dollar bundle, pretty stoked because i thought i missed out :D
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] yomitancho:
I have not seen a tracking number yet, but they did take the money out of my account the same day I paid for it.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] pirateye:
I gave them a call yesterday and was told that it could take up to 6 to 8 weeks from the moment I placed the order.

They also said that currently the bundle is on backorder. I guess ...patience.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] tracerit:
any updates on those who paid for the bundle, saw the charge, then the week later the charge disappeared and now we're all in limbo again? wtf samsung
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] pirateye:
Nothing yet... ☹️

By the time we preorder S9 we'll get the bundle. ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] chase7545:
Same thing here. Paid 3 weeks ago and nothing. Called them, waited on hold for an hour, and all they could tell me is it will be shipped within 8 weeks of the day I ordered.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] pirateye:
I finally got an email saying that my order has been shipped. And yes, it's FedEx. I'll get it in two days. ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] ac16313:
just curious but did you any email before this to confirm your purchase at all? Mine shows confirmed in my orders page but no email confirmation at all I'm not too worried just yet since I ordered just about 3 weeks ago.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] pirateye:
I personally got an email at every step of my order but there are people who didn't. I'd suggest to give them a call and if you get ready to wait around an hour to get an agent on the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] tracerit:
got my 2 packages finally. preordered 4/11, ordered the gearvr full immservice bundle 4/26 and then again sometime in may because they kept sending me emails saying i can order. finally got a fedex notification monday, then saw the charge on my credit card from "digital river" the next day, and received it friday. so glad this is over. what a horrible experience.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] pressagny27:
Since I did not receive the email to pay the $99 bundle I called Samsung the send me the link. When I went to the link the price was $541 so I called Samsung back and the told me they had a problem with their system and it should be fix soon. Any one had this problem
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] pirateye:
There were a ton of problems so far. Keep bugging them until you get everything right.

---------- Post added at 09:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:48 AM ----------

Totally agree.. the worst experience ever!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] yomitancho:
Mine was finally delivered two days ago on the 9th. Also I hope that who ever is still expecting theirs they get it before July 31, since that is when the Oculus content bonus code that you get with your bundle expires.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] pirateye:
True but not sure if they miss much. The bonus content is kinda meh...
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] nosympathy:
I think some of the apps it gave me with the code, were free in the store. So was kind of a joke. Yay you gave me something i could have gotten for free anyway.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] yomitancho:
Yea I noticed that today when I sat down and looked at them. The code is not worth much if anything as far as I can tell.

I can't figure this out for the life of me.

I grabbed the latest weekly for the find7op from the official site, but I can never get past the boot animation.

Running the c7-00011 firmware, F2FS on /data and /cache, no custom kernel or gapps or anything that might make it hang.

Am I missing something here?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Minions_Army:
omnirom doesnt support f2fs

convert to ext4 data chace n system to make omni rom boot up

Really? I figured everything supported it by now. Well, I'll try again some other day then.

Thanks for the prompt reply. :)

Has anyone noticed how the front facing camera on snapchat is zoomed in?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] wrileys:
Same on Beta

This is happening on the Beta as well (v 10.6.6.0). I also noticed that the send button is mostly covered when choosing more than one person.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] huggosz:
Ya I noticed that too. I'm glad I'm not the only one. Hopefully they'll fix that soon.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] ferchor2:
A fix

I have the same issue.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] zingzongzang:
I'm having the same issues here but I was feeling the same way when I use the default camera. Seems like the angle is wider on my S7 than on my S8
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Infiniteey:
I don't think its technically "zoomed" in. If you compare what you see in Snapchat to default camera, you will notice that you still see the same amount of vertical image. But because of the 18.5:9 screen ratio and the way Snapchat works, it crops off a lot of the side image. Same goes for the back camera. And yes, S7 and S6 have much wider front facing camera, it was probably reduced to fit in the focusing mechanisms.

I've noticed if you view Snaps with a 16:9, the top and bottom will be letter boxed. Where as my friends who have also an S8, will fill the full screen.

Hopefully Snapchat will include a way for you to pick a screen ratio, but i doubt it.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] zingzongzang:
Damn, I would take the wider aperture over the auto focus any day.

How Is the Snapchat Camera quality ? Is it still same old not so good on android ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] dansan382:
yea you can definitely tell the difference. i usually just take a normal photo and then use snapchat and select from gallery
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] hcofamousgirl:
I've also noticed this. I hope they fix it. It really annoys me?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Johno_Jan:
Yeah the option to opt out of full screen crop mode is greyed out! I hate the S8 cropping out my pictures and other peoples pictures
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Ada1021:
I'm having this same problem and it's driving me NUTS. It makes me not want to use snapchat anymore. Grrrrrr.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] ChristaB:
Horrible hope they fix this!! I don't need close ups of every pore showing up on my face in Snapchat.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] degsyh:
Its also pretty annoying where sometimes you can't swipe out of a story (swipe up to get the soft keys to show and then back) as swipe up from the bottom is also "chat" within Snapchat.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Kaaatex:
My instagram does this too!!! So frustrating. I have to use my normal camera on my s8 and then use the gallery option to edit it on Instagram . I hope it gets sorted!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Hayeley:
This is awful, I've had the phone a few weeks and as soon as I used snapchat I noticed how close it seemed to my face, every single pore! What the hell is that about!

Its November now and you guys noticed it earlier in the year.. I'm guessing there is no fix 😑
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] foosoomin:
Hi all,

I understood that EVA-L29 variant in Singapore does not have NFC function.

However, does this variant has NFC hardware chip inside the motherboard ?

Just curious, hope to obtain an answer though :o
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] Bruce666:
I think it has NFC chip inside, but it's deactivated. It's easier to deactivate chip in kernel than create another motherboard.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] foosoomin:
I really hope it has, so that custom rom or kernel can help to re-activate it back

Anyone tested this themselves? Didnt see it mention in any reviews.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] The G Dept.:

Not dark at all on my screen. I don't seem to see it moving around at all, though which is concerning to me.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] mmeidl78:
On the S7 edge the guys at samsung told me that 1 hour usually takes about 1 percent of battery. Don't know wether the S8 uses the same amount or not. That doesn't sound that much, but at the end of the day this would be something about 10-20 percent.

Gonna get my S8 (hopefully) today - so I can test it.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] neotekz:
most of what i read people said it was closer to 1% every 2 hours on the s7.

I keep mine on too. Here's my battery life. That's Bluetooth, location, always on display, and high performance settings on.
