Got phone memory card and charger today order 9/5
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Zealousky:
I ordered a black unlocked version with the GearVR and wireless charger/MicroSD as the pre-order bonus on 8/28. No info until today when I got this:

"Hi PotentialCustomerWeDon'tCareAbout, we regret to inform you that one or more of the items from your order #GonnaJustSkipThisOne has been delayed for over 30 days. No action is needed if you still want the items. Otherwise, click here to cancel your order."

I'm hoping this means that it has already been 30 days rather than it is going to be ANOTHER 30 days. Much as I love my Note4 and was looking ahead to the update, if Google can put a Pixel2XL in my hand first, I will switch. I've called Samsung a few times as well as sent emails and the people I've talked to have no information about potential fulfillment dates. I get bad things happen, but not giving information out as you get it, and skipping over orders with no explanation or reason given is horrendous behavior.

I got a shipment email yesterday 10/4 but it was for the gear 360. A little disappointing but hanging in there. There are others that have been waiting longer than me so I can't complain. I ordered on 9/13.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] PapaWangsta:
Freaking Samsung screwing me over the note8's PREORDER.

Shoot, I must be the luckiest 1. Check this, I've Pre-ordered unlocked note8 @ 8/29/2017 with the note 7's discount program. I received an e-mail today(10/05/2017) stating got delayed for another 30 days. Meaning I should be receiving the note8 around middle of November? This is really unacceptable Samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] JesterCha:
No, I'm sorry to blow ur bubble, that makes ME the luckiest 1. I ordered 8/24 for AT&T with Note7 promo and I got the delayed email today. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] PapaWangsta:
Oh hahaha, join the delays club of samsung. How long is your delays? Mine is another 30 days.

Shoot, if this is how Samsung treats their loyal fans, I might jump ship getting a different phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Katmeat:
So according to post 1935 above, someone paying full price gets at least the AT&T version shipped immediately, while the Note 7 owners get pushed to the back of the line and must wait another 30 days. Way to treat your most loyal customers, Samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] RMXO:
My TMO phone is finally shipping. Was excited but that excitement went out the door many weeks ago but glad I'm finally getting it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] whoismikehockney?:
I have yet to get a case and screen protector for my Note 8. I actually enjoy using the phone naked which I know is kinda risky. I already dropped it once and screen isn't cracked on anything just a small chip at the rim and I think the edges got some sort of pixel damage because they stay on when the screen is off. They're very unnoticeable though. What i have been having some issues with is the oleophobic stain where the earpiece is and issues with the usb port dropping from fast charge to regular charge and it charges slow. Feedback ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Vexarana:
I just received an e-mail stating that one or more items are delayed 30 days.. Does anyone know if this is because it has been over a month since I pre-ordered? If I am just now getting this notification, and it means it will be another 30 days, I might just say **** it and go for the iPhone X. At least Apple knows how to do a launch if you pre-order it. This is insane for being a Note 7 owner. If I hadn't tried to get the discount that Samsung advertised I would have been able to have my phone by now through my carrier or Best Buy. Has anyone talked to CS and found anything out? Every time I get ahold of them they have absolutely no information, just worthless.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] JesterCha:
Actually... I've been keeping up with iPhoneX release news and it looks like X is going to be delayed BIG time due to the FaceID modules production slowdown.

For what its worth, I'm in the same boat as you, ordered 8/24 for an AT&T version and still waiting. Last I talked to cust rep @10/03, they said a big shipment should reach warehouse on 10/15. Again... this is from customer rep so I'm not sure how reliable the info is. My instinct tells me its BS.

---------- Post added at 08:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:21 AM ----------

Looks like a standard email sent out mechanically. I got the same 30 day throwned in there. I suppose it can be interpreted as either another 30days or it has been 30days. So I'm not sure how I want to read it. Hope its 'has been 30 days' which the mechanized process need to be updated on how to calculate... cause my order has been WAY past 30 days.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] harveydent:
I'm so sorry that you're in this situation, but it's the same with most manufacturers. If you order an unlocked Pixel now, you'll have to wait til December to get your phone. And Pundits are projecting that the iPhone X will be released in November but people won't get them (after the small initial batch is gone) til 2018. You could get a Verizon-locked Pixel right now easily, and I assume carriers will also have a bunch of carrier-iPhone X's, the same way that you can pop in a carrier store and get a Note 8 in 5 minutes today.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Vexarana:
Did you get the 30 day e-mail late last month, so around 30 days after you placed the order? Or did you get your e-mail today? Just got through to E-Commerce, the rep said their system is down until tomorrow (10 October 2017) at 2245 EST and they can't check the status of any orders until that time. I just wanted to laugh at him, but I know its not his fault. "Press 2 to check the status of other orders". "Sorry, we can't check status of any orders until tomorrow night". He did repeat the October 15th time-frame estimated though. He said that was for all items, but the pre-order bonuses will be shipped within 2 to 3 days of the phone VS getting the phone and then applying where people are getting November - December estimates on their SD card / wireless charger / 360 cameras.

Honestly I don't care whether the device is unlocked or not, I just did the unlocked version since you had to order direct from Samsung for the Note 7 offer. Just wish there was more info out there instead of having to reach out for updates every time.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] KLY725:
Ordered on Sept 3rd but still no shipped date.. Note 7 promo for unlocked version.. None of my promo SD card or wireless charging shipped yet as well.

Called Samsung multiple times but they said keep waiting..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] bcombel:
I ordered the unlocked version on Sept 13. I received my gear 360 this past Friday and I received my shipped email Saturday. The phone will arrive sometime this morning. It is ridiculous that people are having to wait this long.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] leprkon:
I placed my order Sept 15 and got the SD card 2 weeks ago and the wireless charger today. No word on the phone itself though. I did call in before and I got the same Oct 15 date as everyone else. No charge on my card yet either.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Katmeat:
I received the 30-day delay email this morning, which is the only update that I have seen since my Black unlocked order was placed on 9/14.

Also, I never did receive the promised revised and corrected email invitation at the alternate address account that Sam had me set up so that I could order the Verizon version in hopes of quicker shipment. As I mentioned on 9/27 in post #1872, I went to the trouble of setting up the second account at the suggestion of Cust Service, but they sent a defective email invitation to that address. They promised that a corrected email would go out the following week, but I never did receive that.

This has been such a poor experience, since the N7 disaster and now this. Very amateurish and unprofessional business practices by Samsung. It is now so obvious that they are favoring full-price purchasers on the N8 rather than the N7 customers who they had promised priority shipping.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] RaymondPJR:
Yep, they overpromised.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Chocu1a:
I pre-ordered on 9/5/17. Received an email stating my order was delayed for over 30 days 2 weeks ago. My pre-order never changed as of last week. I saw the Orchid Gray was in stock, so I cancelled my pre-order and ordered the Gray. Received in 2 days. I lost the pre-order bonus, but still received the older style wireless fast charger using the Samsung Shop app. I am fine with that, as I already have plenty of msd cards.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Katmeat:
Will wonders never cease? I just received notice by email that my unlocked black N7 ordered on 9/14 has shipped out! So, it does appear that the reports that additional stock was due in yesterday, were correct. Still no word though on the Gear 360 being shipped.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ab0x1:
Ordered 9/17, Black/Unlocked

Phone shipped today 10/16.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] JesterCha:
[emoji35] Ordered 8/24 for AT&T with Note7 promo. Still 'PreOrder' with button to cancel. Called them today and all they can say is "it'll be shipped this weel". Which is the same darn thing they've been telling me EVERYTIME I call. I've lost the number of times I've called them about my order cause I've ran out of fingers to count long ago.[emoji49]
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] donisvelt:
Ordered mine on 9/20 with the Note 7 promo, 128gb card shipped 10/3, wireless charger shipped 10/9, Unlocked Note 8 shipped 10/16 arrives 10/18.. finally!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Xmanmj:
I also ordered my Note 8 directly from Samsung and it took almost one month to get it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] JesterCha:
At least you got it. I ordered 8/24 and still fighting with Samsung Online ordering department to find out why it is still Pre-Order.

Here is their playbook...

They just keep on generating reference numbers each time Icall saying it'll be forwarded to warehouse department, but nothing happens. Get a supervisor on the call and it is still the same thing... generate a reference number to escalate to upper management and guess what? Still nothing happens.

Rule#1 of Samsung Online Dept... You will receive it this week.

Rule#2 of Samsung Online Dept... We will escalate this to upper management and warehouse.

Rule#3 of Samsung Online Dept... Call back next week because escalations take 1wk for anyone to respond.

In the end... still no Note8 in sight.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] The_Keeper86:
I ordered mine last Thursday and it still says order placed. I called Samsung and they said everything looked good and that it usually takes 7 to 10 days to ship. Is this normal? I even selected next day shipping which from what I've read in this thread was a mistake lol.

[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lmacmil:
This is the US Cellular version which I bought used by mistake on Ebay (the description said wifi and the seller had a no return policy.) It's been fine for my wife who mainly watches movies on long flights but since the MM update, browsing (or anything using the touchscreen) has been difficult due to the screen freezing every couple minutes. Closing and opening the case unfreezes it, as does hitting the power button twice.

I have recently rooted it and disabled a bunch of apps but that has not cured the problem. I don't even know if it's hardware or software but I'd like to try another ROM on the chance that it fixes the problem. As far as I can tell, there are no ROMs for this (snapdragon) variation which I guess isn't a surprise since it wasn't a big seller. Just looking for confirmation that there are no aftermarket ROMs or a link if there are. Thanks.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] presleyt9:
Phoenix Rom and Iron Rom was the Roms I had used on it. For the freezing I'll suggest u download the full firmware from samobile and with twrp recovery wipe system, data, internal memory and cache like three times before you flash the firmware to it through Odin
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lmacmil:
You used the Iron ROM on the US Cellular version? The T807R4?

I'm going to flash TWRP, wipe a couple times, then flash the official Samsung MM firmware. It's 1.7GB. Any idea how long that will take? When I rooted it was a pretty small file, 30MB, and it seemed to take longer than I would have thought.

Thanks for your help.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] presleyt9:
Mine was T807T for T-mobile US. but any rom build for the T805 also works for the T807T or T807
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lmacmil:
So the T805/T807 variations all have a Snapdragon processor?
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] presleyt9:
Yes
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prorokrak:
T805 is not Snapdragon but Exynos. This I can confirm for sure since I own the device. T807 variants should be Snapdragon if this article from Wikipedia is to be believed: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_Tab_S_10.5

Odoslané z ONEPLUS A3003 pomocou Tapatalku
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lmacmil:
I thought ROMs were processor specific, i.e., a ROM built for an Exynos processor would not work on a Snapdragon. Is that incorrect?
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] presleyt9:
Roms for T805 does work on T807, only the call out don't work but can receive a call [emoji338] in. All u need to do is after flashing twrp use it to backup boot, Moden, EFS, and radio but only boot backup will do though. And then restore the backup on any T805 rom u install to get mobile network. And when I say T805 rom I don't mean the stock firmware in Odin flash
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lmacmil:
I don't care about the phone functions, the tablet is only used for email, web browsing and watching movies.

When I start TWRP, the backup options are boot, cache, data, system and something else. Nothing about modem, EFS or radio. So if I backup boot, then wipe and flash another ROM, do I need to restore the boot backup or does the ROM contain the bootloader also?

Thanks for your help. I have flashed ROMs on Motorola phones but never on a Samsung device.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] presleyt9:
Like I said before, only the boot backup is OK. Like for me I was using a moded twrp that has radio, EFS and modem but only the boot was always what I restore and it always works
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lmacmil:
I tried to install two different ROMs with TWRP and it gave me an error message each time because my device name did not match the device name in the install file, chagallte vs chagalltespr. Then I tried to install what should have been the stock ROM and it failed also. No error message other than failed flashing zip.

Help!
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] presleyt9:
Unofficial android Rom can't flash or boot except a moded Samsung rom like Phoenix and Iron Rom for T805 /T800
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lmacmil:
I tried IronROM and got the same error message: could not install because the ROM was for chagalllte and my device is chagallltespr. Guess I have to go back to stock. I tried to install with TWRP. Would it be any different with Odin?
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] presleyt9:
I believe it depends on the carrier in the US that your tablet was made from. Mine was from T-mobile US and was quite OK to flash iron rom and Phoenix. Yours might not work
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lmacmil:
I think you're right. There's just no support for the US Cellular version. I have restored the original Samsung software and will not spend any more time on this device. Thanks for your help.

Hello. I was recently trying to install a custom rom on my Lenovo vibe p1. First I tried to root the device and did is successfully.
