I wonder why there is no customization atleast officially for navigation bar...when in keyboard there is no back soft key unless you pull down keyboard and back key appears...I want to have back always...

Also I wonder who made the clock vertical in lock screen :-O
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] -ShaNa:
Just came from service center. They told me it is not defect. They think it is design lol. Their customer service Sucks..

I saw 4 units there and they had same issue. So in conclusion there are high chances you will get similar issue in replacement units. So I decide to use my note for 2 more days and will decide if I should replace it or not. It will not affect your device anyway, you will just see some refrection.

***Meanwhile All people who got note 8 here, can you guys confirms if you have same issue on your phone or not ?***
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nishant786:
Same at Navi Mumbai service centre. He said that almost every black s8 and s8+ had the same issue. He said it doesn't affect waterproofing at all and that is covered by warranty and he can give that in writing. Plus he showed me a note8 with pretty bad red tint and I got scared that maybe if i press for replacement and I get a tint phone that would be much worse - my s8+ had red tint. This isn't even an "issue".

Then I checked my dealers handset and his black unit had some fault but with gold there was no fault. I think with shiny frame of gold and grey its not seen but with black its seen.

My dads s8+ has the same thing.

Anyway I already have a case and with case its not visible. I think we are making a mountain out of a molehill and should just enjoy or phones.

P.s. One disturbing thing. Service centre while giving replacement is telling people that replaced units wont be covered by "screen replacement" pre-order bonus.

Hellow Guys! A note user here. Have been using the note series for over 5 years. Im not usually active on forums but since i also saw the White light reflections on the bezels, i started searching for threads. Anyways, Firstly what i feel is it should be in all Mightnight black. Hence we should do a minor Water Proofing test in a bowl under Video Taping. Although it looks like just a reflection, but since we have paid a bomb for the device, its better to be sure that no problem will arise at a later stage. Coz now if a problem arises it will be easy to get a solution.

Secondly, i also tried one more thing which did help me realise me out that it is a reflection. Whoever wishes can test too. "In a dark room, Lock ur device & take a flash light close to the screen. You should see the reflection on those points."

Kindly correct me if i am wrong.

I know its a flawless device otherwise. Enjoy Note(ing), Cheers!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Thndrkiss:
Those light bleed posts scared s*** out of me, lucky no such issues here.

Its unfair if they are not giving "new" Note 8 as replacement.

Great ..iOS 11 will make iPhone much better specially with file management finally

Let me PM you need some info on iPhone
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] saj2001ind:
Well hope this info is true...bcoz site doesn't seem reliable

Price less than 70k will be a great welcome and if they include freebie like Dex etc
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nishant786:
I dont care about what features iPhone brings or doesnt bring. I've been in the Apple ecosystem since 14 years, all my music, movies and mainly audiobooks are with apple, so i can never leave. Plus the Apple watch is my primary fitness device. So its always going to be my personal phone.

But the note since 2 years is my primary work/productivity device, so as long as Samsung keeps improving Note I have no complaints.

Yeah PM anytime bhai.

This is what has been my expectation. S8 also wasnt badly priced so Im expecting this. As long as around 70, Deepsea blue and september availability I'm happy. Though Samsung will disappoint on atleast 2 out of 3. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] saj2001ind:
Colour choice will only be gold and black

I also wanted blue this time
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] rkaria1970:
Well at 70k I can hold off my Dubai purchase, glad to pay 10k for the warranty. My 8 month old S7edge had to go to service center for hardware issues under warranty so a bit apprehensive about an imported device. I also have the feeling that Sammy would price it below 70k in India as they are already facing a lot of flak for the pricing in US & Europe. The Dubai deal makes it sweet because of free Akg Bluetooth speakers & Wierless charges, almost 14k there on a 60k deal.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nishant786:
Gold I hate and Black is v boring (s8 experience). So if not Blue atleast Grey or I'll import for sure.

---------- Post added at 08:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:17 AM ----------

Dubai for me was done when I realised even they dont have Blue.

F**ktards at Samsung have brains in their b**ls. Only Korea gets blue.

This much also they don't learn from Apple that you can sell phones on colour choice alone (Gold, Pink, Red etc Hype)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nishant786:
2 people in the world know nothing -

[emoji23] [emoji23] [emoji23] even Bran Stark couldn't locate Note8 on Samsung India calander & all he saw was LG V30.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nishant786:
ROFL

But seriously It'll be sad for LG this year. Such a stunning phone they've launched but no one interested in LG.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] saj2001ind:
Yeah their V30 OLED display is stunning too bad note 8 and iPhone 8 will fade it away unless it's price is dropped crazy like V20

Btw Amazon India is now listing note 8...register for notification is on

So far rumors of India launch seems OK
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] saj2001ind:
For 25th sept Samsung India Rajas has to move their asses first and that's impossible

Bloody useless guys are there
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] saj2001ind:
Yeah wait for note 8 bro it is worth wait device

Last year was so disappointing with note 7 for all note fans

I will sell my s8 plus for note 8!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] saj2001ind:
Yep don't import it's worth waiting and getting official Indian warranty

Did u talk to ur near Samsung stores of any release date hint ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] saj2001ind:
Perfect, I am planning for Amazon pre order as well specially for their timely spot on delivery and excellent service

No question asked like nonsense Flipkart for return or replacement

Amazon rocks for online sales
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] saj2001ind:
Yeah flipkart are typical desi minded store unlike world class Amazon services

Samsung did best this time to choose amazon since they went with Flipkart for s8
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] rkaria1970:
well if the pre orders start from 11th-12th, then they will be having their usual crap launch event in Delhi on the same morning & invitations will have to go out to tech bloggers a week before, so the mist over the Note8 launch should clear by next week.

at 70K Indian pricing, i am also now more inclined to buy it locally with the warranty & screen replacement deal(peace of mind for sure), the only downside will have to go with the stealthy black which looks nice, though the deep sea blue would have been great.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] saj2001ind:
Don't think 128gb variant will launch now...and also actual availability maybe Oct start as per Samsung India lazy attitude seen earlier

In US phone got shipped this week itself some got it delivered also

I can understand ur anxiousness bcoz u had to carry note 5 for so long

Just wait buddy

I was in same situation last year but now have s8 plus so will wait peaceful this time ... Still excitement goes on for new note always :)

And yeah 128gb is what should be available here specially for ppl like us who use dual sims

Hope for the best ...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] saj2001ind:
Blue is really hot this time but it's not available even in US

In between gold and black I will go for black as it looks stealth sexy on my s8 plus

Third day since I placed the order on the Samsung estore and it is yet to ship, as per CC. Surely they are not inundated by Note 8 orders or already run out of stock!

The irony here for ppl who didn't got their Amazon pre orders is that Amazon is still selling Note8 with 1 day prime shipping with all pre order freebies.

For iPhone 8 they went with their official seller and it's all 1 day prime

Just called aramex again and asked for the guys number who is out for delivery

But they dont give them out...i told him my tracking number and he saw iv paid 67900

He said "apka mehenga order hai to number lelijiye"

So i called the delivery boy and he says he will be here in 30 minutes

Lets see
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Thndrkiss:
I was going to order on Amazon, but got curious and inquired about Note 8 to local dealers and one of them followed up and send a guy to get get 2000 INR... and i was whatever its best to go with local dealer just in case if i receive faulty device... and when i got there i asked for maximum No cost EMI, and they told me its 24 month and i was like wow, bcz it was only 18 Month no cost EMI on amazon lol, So lucky me that i changed my mind.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] drtushar:
Friends I just got a call from local distributor who happens to be my friend that he was called by the regional distributor and was told to return back the unsold stock of note 8 immediately.

The reason was not told but is it because of the screen bleed issue that's happened to many.

Just my guess.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] drtushar:
They might get a replacement unit I guess. More people need to speak about the issue. Write it to sammobile, gsmarena etc

---------- Post added at 02:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:17 PM ----------

Thers is an app called Back light bleed test on app store.

Everyone can check if their note 8 has that issue
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] saj2001ind:
Does ur piece have this issue ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Thndrkiss:
Yeah, its not some cheap mobile, we are paying for premium device, so go all out, start spreading words about it screen bleeding. :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] -ShaNa:
i have already checked with that app. i cant see any light bleeding. it is just refraction. you can see light moves as you moves contents on display. so there is nothing to worry about.

edit- you will see refraction when you change the color in app. still if someone know dealer then can you guys call them and check if they have stock or they returned it ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nishant786:

Common guys don't mistake light refraction for light bleeding.......as our device sides are glossy finished and the curved edges will refract light......it's not a hardware issue for sure I do checked 7 devices today and all refracted lights even on gold it's clearly visible on white display......if ur device has a serious issue means u can see light leaking through the gaps when u view it side on.....u won't notice this......so have peace and enjoy ur device...

.its definitely not an hardware issue.....amoleds don't have light bleeding,it's an issue with IPS/LCD panels
