Hoping I get a delivery today, some funny business going on at UPS... early this A.M. I had a destination scan and it was out for delivery at 6:14AM. Now I see an additional destination scan and out for delivery at 9:39AM.. wtf is up with UPS. It would have been a hundred times better if I could have just been able to pick it up. UPS wouldnt let me change it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] kcjnz:
Have to return mine out of the box, restore via Google does not work during set up, just locks the phone. Really sucks...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] cwmurphy1993:
I got a destination scan, so I went to the UPS I designated to pick it up at and it isn’t there. They said it probably got put on a truck... this has been the most unorganized preorder ever and I’ve done a lot of them!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] sak87:
Hey everyone,

For Tmo folks, if any of you got charged for the sim card for the new line, and shipping, I would suggest giving Tmo a call. I got mine refunded just an hour ago. It was told to me that it will reflect in my bill.

Good luck!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] wawaweewa:
How and what did you say?

---------- Post added at 04:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:08 PM ----------

Same thing happened to me hmmm
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] sak87:
I told them I was told that these fees would be refunded.

I was told about shipping for my line and my brother was told about the sim card fee. Not sure if it was written in the memos.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] wawaweewa:
So just play it cool and say that you'll be refunded?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] sak87:
Pretty much.

Were you told about the refunds at the time of ordering?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] lennie:
that sucks man. did you try hard reset first or after?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] wawaweewa:
No refunds just charges lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] TechBSwift:
for those who ordered through tmobile using JOD, did you use the new sim card that came with the phone. Or did you use the old sim card that you already had?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] QuantumPSI:
FINALLY got my pre-order in. Will ship any day now. I'm late to the game.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] RaymondPJR:
Ok guys, you've got your phones! Now test everything so those of us sitting on the sidelines can feel comfortable ordering before the deal runs out!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] bbjhh2009:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] KLLSWITCH:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] bbjhh2009:
No not yet they are taking forever the must still be in Rocklin because Roseville is below Rocklin lol must have over flow of ups packages..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] KLLSWITCH:
haha. my ups guy usually shows around 1 so here's hoping. the delivery window ups says is 12-4 so who knows.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] bbjhh2009:
Mine usually shows up around 11 so I don't know what's taking so long
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] sak87:
Lol yeah that's true. I was sinking with each charge that the rep was stating but that didn't stop me.

Try your luck. Hopefully you get it :)

I jumped on my line. I ended up receiving the new line handset first and started using that on my JOD line. I called Tmo earlier and asked them about which one should I be using, so that I don't have issues in the future. She did say I was using the new line set, but she ended up swapping the IMEI numbers on their end. So if I decide to jump or so, I wouldn't run into issues.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] wawaweewa:
I will wooo

Still waiting anxiously. My Choice said 12-4. They're about 40 minutes off as of this writing. Still no note.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] KOLIOSIS:
Sorry if my previous post made no sense, I misread a bit, mistaken for another post (I believe).

Anyhow, glad to hear you're enjoying the Note 8.

No more JODs, huh?

I dunno how often you typically JUMP/JOD, but, speaking from experience, to paraphrase the late Rick James :

JOD is a Helluva Drug......... ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] MicroMod777:
Ha, more like who's gonna JOD to the killer iPhone XXX???

where do you go to claim your pre order gift?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] rile1564:
Download "Shop" app from the Samsung app store, on your new phone. Login then in the upper left corner hit the options lines. Go to promotions. From there you can figure it out.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] MicroMod777:
Anybody getting the free 256gb microsd card too? I didn't see that on my promo. The verizon guys are getting that also plus charger.

You have JOD and keeping both? I thought we have 14 days to turn in our S8+'s.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] truckerdewd:
You or they start charge you additional JOD payments

Sent from my wickedly kewl Galaxy Note 8 using my S Pen. Duh!!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] KOLIOSIS:
I think you can count me in for keeping it as well:

Mine arrived late afternoon,I'm liking it a lot more than I'd expected.

However,it's kinda bittersweet,choosing which to use on any given day between the Note 8 & my Note FE.

As with you & your Note 8 & S8+,I'm keeping both. :highfive:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] sak87:
That whole galaxy thing looked amazing!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] lennie:
did you get in touch with Samsung or tmobile about it about red tint issue? they have an update coming or something?

think mine is the same thing, seem to have a red tint compared to my v20. when viewed at an angle its fine, but view directly the screen color changes. wondering if all are like this, if it doesn't change by the 15th i'm heading to the store and get an exchange.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] sak87:
Anyone use their note with the gear vr that was released a few months ago? I read online that the note 8 won't fit in it so another vr is being released.

I was able to use my note 8 with it but just wondering about it. The audio was the only thing that was off for me. It wasn't loud enough.

Edit: I was using wireless headsets, which work fine during normal phone use. Will update when I try wired headphones later.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] misterwal10:
Yep there is a thread already for that. Check it out
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] lennie:
yeah coming form the v20 with my loudest audio mod.....the audio on the note just sounds like childs play. can't way for root so I can turn up his speaker at least 2 notches up, don't think it can take anymore than that without getting extremely distorted.

question: does your screen have a reddish tint?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] sak87:
No reddish tint that I can notice. Using the amoled cinema mode. Just changed it around to test. Seems okay.

For normal music playback, I don't use the stock music app since the audio is low on it. I have used N7 and Playerpro. Both are good in the area. I have a non rooted phone so these worked well.

I stopped using N7 because every time I hit play, it would start the music from the same song that you started the last session with, not where you stopped.

Edit: LG V20 was good in the audio dept and the rugged build of the phone. Other than that, I would have killed that phone if the S8 hadn't come out.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] Raheinm:
I called in to get it replaced and since i didn't reach an american Data center they screwed up my order. I have JOD and they created my replacement device on EIP so I had them cancel it and I will take it to the store to get it replaced

I've missed you...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] lennie:
you lucked out man, glad to hear its not all of them that are like this. mine has a reddish tint. going to compare it to the other one i got on bogo tomorrow

ok same thing I i'm going to do, take it to the store. I won't be messing with them over the phone, sad to say, because they can't understand me and i can't understand them.....had a hard time just ordering the phones in the first place until I gave up and went to the store to get it done, will be exchanging at the store at least I know i'll be getting a brand new device that way....the 15th feels like a long wait though
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] sak87:
I can check my second phone tomorrow and update you on the reddish tint.

Got mine delivered from T-Mobile two days ago by UPS.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] xfno0b:
so.... I got my first phone yesterday which was great. The 2nd one delivered today and my parents were home to receive it. I come back from the gym and I grab the box and the tape and box was tampered with. The entire phone was stolen and re-taped -_- now i have to deal with what is going on with UPS and I'm worried that this might screw up my approval process for the Mastercard.. sigh.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] JT man:
Damn you serious, that sucks!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] xfno0b:
Yup, kind of ruined my weekend knowing I have to deal with this and wait to see if i get screwed over.

I've called UPS and they said they will investigate and call back Monday.

I then called T-mobile and asked if there is anything they can do. They will process a new order but won't ship until late next week. They will have to put another down payment so I was expecting another $300 charge since there is taxes however she said she'll just charge me $210 and they will take care of the rest. They will refund my original order that was stolen once the investigation is over. I also asked if they can help upgrade the shipping and not charge me for the sim card, she told me she'll just put a $40 credit on my next statement. Overall, T-mobile has been good to me so far.. I'm just still worried about that giftcard.

Well my wife's phone came in on Friday at 9pm. UPS said between 12-4:30pm , ha.

My phone for someone reason took an extra route and didnt make it to my town until Friday even so it wont be delivery until Monday.

But i requested for them to hold it so i can pick it up in the morning. Lets see how that goes.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] lennie:
wow that's crazy man. good thing tmobile is cool like that. by the way sure your parents not running a prank on you?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] xfno0b:
I'm sure. I get nearly 10-15 packages a week (Mostly from work) and nothings ever been touched or opened like that. Let's hope for the best :rolleyes:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] lennie:
that UPS guy is going to have a ding on his record now. it was probably one of them that did the sorting or the ones packing the trucks and have the man deliver an empty box.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] glensta:
Glad they're sorting it out for you. I've had two phones stolen via ups so i'm leary of shipping phones now. The drivers and packagers all know what it is and with temp workers working there, ya never now. I'll wait for stores to have it as painful as waiting is Lol.

Best of luck.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] wawaweewa:
Not sure but looks okay with me, what are you trying to take a pic at
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] xfno0b:
I'm having an issue with it too. When I open the camera the photo looks great however when I take the photo, only the focus point is sharp and everything else is blurred. It seems like the 1.7 aperture this phone has created that blur affect which makes taking selfies or photos difficult. Not happy with the camera since I just used it at a wedding and all the photos were bad
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] bbjhh2009:
Definitely not there
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] bbjhh2009:
Look at the menus the menu on the note 8 is blurry and my s8 is crystal clear every where I'm so confused..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] bbjhh2009:
Exactly what's happening with mine
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] xfno0b:
I hope nobody else has the same issue since this phone is great and a fix would be helpful. I tried using other camera apps and I have the same issue. Tried changing settings, the display size, resetting and everything . Nothing has worked.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] bbjhh2009:
Same here I don't know what's going on!! Everything is blurry except what's in focus and I'm not using live focus or anything so I'm so upset.. Because this phone is amazing look at the difference between my note 8 pic and s8+ pic the menu is blurry on note 8 and not on the s8+
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] lennie:
yesterday I went to the tmobile store to compare mine to their display unit and saw that their display unit looks good mine was pretty much red in comparison. messed with the color values and got mine as close to the display unit as possible (looks really close now, but not quite there yet)......me having to mess with the settings have me feeling as if there's something wrong with my phone....I don't like that feeling. i'm contemplating still doing an exchange at the store.

honestly don't think they care really. don't think they'd be so stupid as to use it for themselves probably going to try selling it or ship it out of country

that's the boka effect, you can adjust that effect or remove it all together. when taking a picture, his the "live focus" button then adjust the slider (it's set to max by default). you can adjust it before taking a picture or even after taking a picture
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] CB620:
:D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] xfno0b:
The bokeh affect is something i'm aware of. Note 8 and S8+ has the same aperture causing the same effect. The other person already compared the two and has the same issue as me. My previous phone was the Nexus 6P and the camera worked flawlessly. My work phone is the iphone 6s and it also worked flawlessly. Now coming to an Note 8, i'd expect at least a slight improvement however that wasn't the case sadly.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] CB620:
The S-pen is the same from the Note 7 just darker and from Vietnam.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] xfno0b:
NOTE 8https://ibb.co/fG89EF (Auto, HDR ON)

NOTE 8https://ibb.co/i0iy8a (Live focus wide view)

My Nexus 6P, same shot, same lighting, HDR on, auto mode, same distance https://ibb.co/n8Dqoa

You can see how different it is from these 2 options. While the live focus shots are good, it is zoomed in way too much to even take a photo. I've always used auto on all my phones. The focus points are both at the same point. This is just a small example of what I am dealing with.

Maybe i'm not use to dealing with Samsung phones since the last one I had was before note 4. Google phones have been good too me and maybe this is the way samsung does their cameras? If this is the case, i'll wait for pixel 2 and return these =/
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] bbjhh2009:
This is not normal my s8+ takes crystal clear photos that's why I'm wondering what's going on because Samsung makes the best camera smartphones but there is seriously something wrong with my note 8 I'm going to have to take it into the store to find out..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] xfno0b:
I've already talked to T-mobile and they said I can either bring it in and they can see if its defective, if so, you can come back on the 15th for an exchange or you can return the phone now for a refund and you can place a new order online. I love everything about the phone except the camera right now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] bbjhh2009:
I love everything about the note 8 but my camera I use alot when I have a 8 year old i take tons of pictures!! I'm so upset about this because my camera is 10× better on my s8+
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] bbjhh2009:
The background of the note 8 is always blurry my camera is always on auto

My s8+ the background is crystal clear on auto

I don't know if this is the new camera and Samsung wanted to do this but I'm wondering if everyone is having this issue?? The painting on the s8+ is crystal clear and the note 8 is blurry where the painting is

Remember they both are on auto and no live focus..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] xfno0b:
