[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Dynomite922:
Yes. Very important to have a back up secondary phone. I would have had my Galaxy S7E as my backup but before I purchased my unlocked Galaxy S8, I dropped my Galaxy S7E front first on my gravel driveway. I was highly disappointed about it and had insurance for my Galaxy S7E but Best buy wouldn't cover my Galaxy S7E through the insurance they gave me. I decided to go back to Bestbuy, payed my Galaxy S7E off and was going to put another Galaxy S7E on Best buy credit. This was about a month after Galaxy S8/S8+ hit store shelves. Looked around and saw the Galaxy S7E on display along side the Galaxy S8. This year I didn't have money to get insurance coverage over my second phone. Got to looking at prices on Galaxy devices and it just happen to be the week That the Galaxy S8 unlocked version was on sale. Was ready to pick up a Galaxy S7E and right beside it was the Galaxy S8. Both phones unlocked. It just so happen to be that both phones were exactly the same price ($799.00 US). So I said well if I'm going to pay $800 for a Galaxy device I am better off getting this year's model. So I asked for the Midnight black Galaxy S8 instead of paying there same exact price for another Galaxy S7E (Now a year old). I asked Bestbuy if my current 2y insurance would be switched over to my Galaxy S8 from my Galaxy S7E. They lied to me and told me I still had a year coverage and that years insurance would be put on my Galaxy S8. It has only been 3 months besinse I bought my defective Galaxy S8 with the screen coming unglued from the device. I didn't even ask them for a replacement device. I only asked them to reattach my screen back to device (The screen is still on the device just coming unglued). They told me that my insurance did not cover the Galaxy S8 and that the insurance was no good because it was for the Galaxy S7e. They told me I have to send it back in through Samsung but samsung told me I need to take it back to best buy for a replacement phone because it was defective. Now neither Samsung or Bestbuy will take my phone back and fix it so insurance is basically a money gimic.

My point is my Galaxy S8 is not busted. Does not have a broken screen. The screen just needs to be reglued to the frame because it is coming apart on all four sides with a big enough gap that you can slide your fingernail in between the unglued screen and the device itself. I am now having to leave my Galaxy S8 inside of my phone case to be sure that the screen stays attached to the phone. Luckily I bough a really good phone case that is tight enough to hold the phone together. I just wanted people to be aware that if you go through certain stores to buy your phone they will refuse to replace or fix a defective device. One of these company's being Bestbuy. I asked them about fixing my phones screen only 3 weeks ago and until they agree to I am not going to pay for this device. The phone bill through Bestbuy is not due just yet but once they see that I refuse to pay for it they will call and I am going to tell them that I am not going to pay for this phone until they agree to fix it for me. I told them that besinse they will not fix my defective device don't expect a payment from me for the device. There solution was for me to buy a new phone.

I do have a question about my device. Would the screen of my phone being unglued with gaps between the screen and the frame cause my phone to continuously say (there is water in the port this may take a while to dry) and never charge when i need to charge my device. Obvbiously the water sill on my phone is compromised when you are able to stick your fingernails between the device's screen and frame, but I am curious if this is the reason my phone will not charge with my Usb/C charging cord's. I am having to use my wireless charging pad to get the phone to charge up. (By the way, my phone has never been in or near water for as long as I've had it. I never have trusted putting any of my Galaxy devices in water even when I had the Galaxy S5 which was supposably completely water proof.) I have been through all of the tips on how to fix my charging port problem including clearing catch and data for the Usb only to find that it works for a couple of days and comes right back again to hunt me.

I am sure that the reason my Galaxy S8 gets to hot to hold while charging or using the device has to do with my screen coming apart. My response to this was [(aka samsung] Make sure your applications are up to date, make sure your firmware/software is up to date running newest software, do not use your device while charging, etc.) I do not use my device while it is on the charger. My applications stay up to date and my software's are running latest OS. Not much help at all.
