Is the beta program still only for snapdragon note 8? How do you register via the members app?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] yeoldgreat1:
I've got a UK Note 8 which I think is the Exynos version. When you open the Member's app, there is a notice about the beta and if you tap on the picture it gives you the option to enrol. Reboot your phone and it should show up.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Alex---1:
I just registered to be apart of the beta program, rebooted the phone and there it was, update downloading!

Unlocked UK Note 8.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] StevePritchard:
Still nothing for me. Maybe it's because I have installed the latest release via Odin.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jowett69:
same here updated, looks ok so far.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] exiss:
how did you guys register in the samsung members app? there is nothing in the notices on mine
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Beil0:
I think it depends on what software update you're on, and whether your phone is unlocked.

I'm on Three, and there's nothing coming up in my Members App. I'm not sure if I should even expect it before the official roll-out.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] eddyctweets:
I'm on latest three uk software also and there's no sign of the programme on my members app either, has anyone on three uk got the invite yet?

My phone is unlocked but I flashed the three software so I could get VOIP working.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] StevePritchard:
VOIP on Three has worked on the unlocked version since Oreo.

Using the standard BTU release on Three gave the option to join the beta programme.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Charos87:
The BTU release is unlocked UK. I'm on EVR UK (EE). To join the beta I am pretty sure you have to flash UK BTU and then register. Could be wrong though.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] StevePritchard:
I think you are right. I don't think the carrier specific CSCs have the option to join the beta, it's just the BTU/OXM release.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] kxdaorbit:
XEU too.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr.Ash.Man:
Can anyone else on the Android Pie Beta confirm Google Pay \ NFC payments don't work ? Get an error with no explanation as to why when trying to pay for stuff. I suspect it's something to do with the Beta.

Updated via members reg / OTA

Error

"You can no longer pay in shops with Google Pay"

Also a heads up incase someone goes out without there wallet and it happens to them too ;o

Edit: seen that it may be something to do with cache of play services, cleared that just need to try and buy something again to test..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] kxdaorbit:
Hi,

Has any XEU, or BTU owner received the One UI Beta 2 update yet.

Tempted to go the .Zip from sdcard route, patience wearing thin.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] StevePritchard:
In a desperate hope that everybody doesn't chime in with "me neither" posts, but I can confirm that beta 2 isn't available to me on BTU.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] kxdaorbit:
Guess it's the update.zip route then.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jowett69:
still waiting for beta2.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jowett69:
beta 2 out ready to download
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] StevePritchard:
Yeah, and it looks to be a slightly different version to the "Beta 2" that was previously available outside the UK.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] kxdaorbit:
Hi Steve,

Are you able to detail what these differences are?

Just that I'm on the 1st Beta 2 and thinking of rolling back to Oreo, so that I can get the OTA for this.

Not sure that it's worth the pain for what might be minimal gain.

What do you think, worth it?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] StevePritchard:
The consensus in the Pie Beta thread seems to be that it only seems to be different in terms of version number, and the content is the same.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] sawdoctor:
Im in the same boat. Only thing i can think off is Indian beta 2 broke volte. Uk beta may bring it back. Probably best waiting for official odin release of pie though, it won't be long
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] kxdaorbit:
Fingers crossed.

Will try and wait it out, don't really want to be messing with setting up again.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] kradcliffe:
I got my Note 8 on a Vodafone contract just over a year ago. I rooted it to increase the audio volume so the knox flag has been tripped.

What would be the chances of getting the screen replaced under warranty (due to bad burn-in) with a tripped Knox flag?

I guess samsung would just tell me to go to hell but what about returning it to Vodafone themselves?

Has anyone managed to get a UK note 8 repaired that has been rooted?

thanks - Keith
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jowett69:

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] kxdaorbit:

If it was me, I would try a factory reset. This can often resolve many problems, just make sure to back up all your data as it will wipe the phone.

NOOO not Royal Mail ..postie doesn't turn up here till 2-3pm :crying:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jah:
Don't forget to charge fully before you use your Note8 and try to keep the device and battery cool while you do updates and transfers.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr.Ash.Man:
Royal mail from Very.co.uk only i think... You ordered from Samsung like me didn't you? wont be royal mail :)

Either way i'll be at work when it arrives though :( Then again... i might have a cold next week :highfive:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] pigglett:
Direct via Samsung ..last few items I've bought from Sammy have been delivered via DPD
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr.Ash.Man:
Yeah DPD sounds right.. and i am glad too.

I bought a Galaxy S7 Edge that was delivered by "Royal Mail 24 Special Signed For"

was delivered to complete wrong address(Royalmails fault) which the receiver decided to open the box, remove the seal on the phone box and take a look inside. They then came to my house pretending to work at royal mail and gave me a story how the box was damaged so she took it upon herself to break the seal on the phone box and make sure it was still there and bring it to me personally D: no signing or anything...

The eBay seller did not believe me and it was frustrating for the both of us i ended up sending it back which left me out of pocket -.- main reason for sending it back though was the eBay guy specifically told me it was not a contract phone when i turned it on it was 3 branded firmware.... the most common eBay scam around is people selling there "unwanted upgrades" then 3 months on, claiming its been stolen on there insurance and getting a new device leaving the buyer's Blocked.

Never buy a phone from eBay! :angel:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] invisiblesense:
This really annoys me. American's who owned Note7 get special discounts, get early shipments of Note8, we in UK get nothing.

I previously refused Samsung's refund offer and decided to keep my Note7. After the announcement of Note8 I emailed Samsung rep who I was liaising with at the time; I said I am now ready to return my N7, could you please make arrangements to collect the device and offer my refund. I have since provided my bank details and they advised collection would be arranged and refund issued after that.

Pre ordered Note8 from Samsung on the day of announcement, now days are passing watching YouTube videos of Note8. The wait seems eternal now!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ReformedAppleFan:
Is that really necessary with modern batteries? I tend to charge while I'm updating and transferring. Not a good idea?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jah:
No. Li Ion batteries should be charged. Try to avoid them getting too hot when new otherwise reduces battery life.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr.Ash.Man:
I'll beleive it when I see devices showing up..

Anyone from the UK had there order shipped yet?

Mines still the same as the day I ordered (direct from samsung)

'Not processed' - pre-order status
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] pigglett:
It will stay like that till the 14th ...did with my note 7
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] vadimo:
So my interrogation with Samsung provided some results:

"The courier is UKmail. Once your order is confirmed by email, by 7pm on a week day, expect your items the next working day. If it's confirmed by 7 PM on 14.09 you can expect it the 15.09"
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jah:
Same here. Not processed. The USA is a key market for Samsung which is why they get $425 rebate for Note 7 customers. At least we have the option for dual sim now!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] FUBARx89:
Mines ordered, been told it's gonna be dpd delivering it. Next Friday can't come quick enough :D

It'll be nice going back to Samsung flagship after a disappointing Sony flagship (z5 premium)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] @home:
Are any of you guys getting the Note 8 delivered to a different address from what what your CC is addressed to?

If so did you get a message when you placed the order about having extra security checks made before the order is completed?

What are the extra security checks?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] vinokirk:

We will see ;) my money is on them being pissed tomorrow after being told there's a hold on there packages. I've yet to see anything other than 'could be' or 'maybe' especially from the bloggers.

If they do get them early then I'll be the one that's pissed :p

Gear VR

So I see that I am going to have to purchase another bloody Gear VR as the 'latest' one won't be big enough to accommodate the Note 8. This will be the third one I have had to buy in 18 months.

Also you can pre-order the new compatible Gear VR but only if you live in the US.

#UKShafted

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] insom81:
Just contacted Sammy myself to see if there was any update, seeing as our counterparts in the US appear to have shipping units.

Basically still due on 15th, much as I would hope for sooner.

Slightly annoyed that US get the discounted price, extra choice of goodies AND earlier shipping. (Not that I begrudge anyone getting these extras, just would have been nice for it to be universally applied).

It appears I will have to remain patient - I have waited a bloody year already I suppose, after my Note 7...

Curses!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr.Ash.Man:
The impatience is acceptable... after all we never even got the Note 5 officially and the Note 7 flopped :( that's so long without a note :p it's a good job the Note 4 was a great phone !

However I caved and bought a note 5 from Russia anyway lol

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] insom81:
I was sorely tempted to get a 5 after the 7 debacle but the lack of sd support meant I stuck with the old trusty number 4...

It is lucky the FE was only released recently and was so close to the 8 reveal, otherwise I would have snapped one up ages ago.

Be very interested on any response you get on this.

I imagine some sort of generic 'we very much value your custom, have a lollypop..it has Samsung written on it..also, it is a limited edition lollypop'
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ReformedAppleFan:
That is a very good point and one I hadn't considered... thank you for raising.

I was going to sell my S7E for a couple of hundred quid but I guess I'll keep it just for use in the VR headset.

On the plus side, it was always annoying having to give up my phone while people used the VR.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] yeoldgreat1:
I'm yet to press go on my pre order, I'm trying to see if I can shop around and get it cheaper. The best I've found so far is 10% off at very.co.uk with LGAQP but they have 20% off codes so I'm hoping someone is willing to share an unwanted code. If I can, then I'll stretch to the Samsung Convertible wireless charger too!

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr.Ash.Man:
I have to say it is a disappointment i did not think this was how pre-orders worked :P Even those that have ordered direct from Samsung have been shipped in the US... Maybe the carriers ****ed Samsung over so they had no choice but to ship early too? unlikely for that to happen over here

Why do we always get shafted. I thought the note had a huge following in the UK!

It's no fun here in the UK getting bummed by Samsung again, watching the US all getting their phones 10 days before official release date..... Samsung really starting to test my resolve to remain brand loyal, hopefully it turns up before the 12th otherwise a rival company may announce something that makes me want to cancel my Samsung order & spend my £869 with them instead!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr.Ash.Man:
I hear you I've been with Samsung since the s2 but this does leave you to question your loyalty :hmm: I really doubt I'll move elsewhere but I'm keeping an eye open now I've been screwed over...

It's kinda killed the pre order vibe for me and with that gone i cant help but think why not just wait more and get a nice discount

Also I bet they'll offer a better free gift a month after the crappy Dex one.. that's another thing that'll screw us over too
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jus71n:
My pre order is with CPW £869 with free DEX (well claim a free DEX, which takes 60 days!!), will never order from Samsung direct again from a crap experience with the S7E, & the Note 7 shambles

Just sat watching unboxing videos, & reading all the US review articles which have also been released now...... taken all the shine off the pre order, will give cancelling some serious thought
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Flame Red:
Clove just emailed me asking me to pay for the Note 8 pre-order to the US. I still assume they will ship on Friday the 15th. They claim they might help me with the Dex offer since I am in the US, but I doubt it. It would be a pleasant surprise if they were willing to help with that offer.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] gavinfabl:
Clove are pretty good in my experience.

I was looking at the LG V30, but now its Note8 or iPhone 8 Edition X. Looks like the camera post processing on the Note8 is really good.

I already picked up a Gear 360 2017 :)

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] apprentice:
I agree. Flogging a dead horse with trying to get customer service from Samsung. I am a very loyal customer (see my signature below!) I love their products, but their customer service in the UK is shameful. I guess we are small fish compared to the US market and they probably see the iPhone toting North Americans as the ones they need to flatter the most.

So... has anyone seen any good Voda upgrade offers? My contract is up and need to stay with Voda for the reception where I live/work (and their great roaming). Weighing up staying Sim Only for approx £20 - £25 per month (I need 16GB + and want Spotify again) OR trying to upgrade with 16GB + on a contract. Any thoughts?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] StevePritchard:
It worked out better for me to go Sim Only with a new contract with cashback via TopCashback (https://www.topcashback.co.uk/ref/stevepritchard if you want to join), and get the phone direct from Samsung on the 0% interest deal.

Another benefit is you don't get a branded phone with carrier chaff installed.

I first went to Samsung to purchase a dual sim version but they said they don't ship to Guernsey where I live. Then I found Clove had the single sim and would ship to the Channel Islands as well as take off the VAT. So I ordered it from them.

Even though I didn't think I would get much use out of it, I called to see if my order would be eligible for the Dex offer. The kind woman said probably not. I didn't want to pass up a freebie, figuring if I didn't use it I could sell it on eBay.

On Samsung's Dex offer T&C's it had a list of authorised sellers and it said that it could be shipped to the Channel Islands. After trying a few of the authorised sellers Very was the first that would take off the VAT and ship to Guernsey. So, I ordered it on 30 August and cancelled the Clove order.

I then saw on this thread about the 10% discount at Very so I called customer service and they took the 10% off. My final price was £655.74 with shipping and I have 12 months to pay interest free.

Try Mobiles.co.uk they have a £22 monthly on EE with total price being about £980
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr.Ash.Man:
For me the Samsung upgrade program was the cheapest... full price but no interest & no changes.. I do not trust carriers nor do i ever want to be in a 2 year contract with them as they can jack the prices up after a certain amount of time and you can't do anything about it. (small print bottom right of the Mobiles.co.uk page)

I use GiffGaff for carrier so i can alter what i pay and when i pay... Also you can pay automatically via PayPal and my PayPal funds are from doing paid surveys a few times a month anyway so it never touches my bank.:cool:
