Mine shipped today from Best Buy...with a delivery date of next Thursday?....I wonder how people got theirs with next day delivery from Best Buy ? I don’t recall seeing an option to chose shipping speed when I ordered mine online. Of well, I can wait another week.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] cpufrost:
It's ground shipping. Shipping speed is determined by your location and the location shipped from. Google "UPS ground transit map" and you can calculate transit time. East coast residents especially Florida will be affected.

Mine shipped from Ohio which is a two day transit time to my zip. Unfortunately that means I have to wait until Monday. I blame the Best Buy prats for taking so long to ship after charging my card! :P
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] parmend:
Heck yeah!!! I ordered the evening of 9/6 and got a notification that it shipped today. It'll be here 9/11
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] fireguy0306:
I ordered my AT&T version from BB on the 2nd and got it this morning.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Zeblade:
Na..saved .. didnt want to pay the tax
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jcip17:
Mine originally said 9/15 before shipping. Then today it said it'll be here on Monday. Now it says it'll be here tomorrow (today*) ! Wtfff I'm psyched but my case will be here 9/13.... Sock case it is...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] JRRinNC:
I ordered my Verizon version online from Best Buy on 8/24. They did charge my card on Tuesday (9/5) but on the site it's still showing "preparing" with a delivery date of 9/15. No shipping notification, etc., yet. I'm very jealous of those of you that say you've ordered since then and are already receiving them. Maybe it does depend on where you are located? I'm in NC near Charlotte -- wouldn't have thought it'd be a difficult area. Oh well.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] PsiPhiDan:
I'm in a similar situation. Verizon version through BB (Gray). I have been stuck at the first stage of the process this whole time. I'm in the Chicagoland area. No movement although they did charge my card on Tuesday as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] bathanr:
I pre-ordered mine via bestbuy local store the 1st day of pre-order. After hearing of my friends who ordered via samsung, verizon and bestbuy online getting their devices as early as the 5th, I called my local bestbuy and they said that I would have to wait until Friday. As much as I wanted the $150 off, I decided to cancel last Friday and ordered through Verizon customer service. The phone arrived Saturday before 12pm. I submitted my pre-order gifts and they said they will ship on 10/16. I also got my $480 trade-in for my note 5 by going to Verizon store. I gave my original note 5 64gb to my wife and traded in her 32gb in which she was constantly running out of space.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] PsiPhiDan:
Wow, you gave up $150 to get the phone 6 days sooner?! I am impatient, but I am also far too cheap for that! :p
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] bathanr:
Aside from being impatient, I was concerned about getting my Samsung gifts since they mention while supplies last. ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] PsiPhiDan:
Haha I see.

Last year with the Note 7, they said that and I was freaking out too. But honestly, I can't imagine them running out before the phone is released. I will do it Friday when I get my phone. I'm sure it'll be fine. This is how it went for me last year (Verizon was dumb and didn't ship early - other carriers did) and I was just fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jcip17:
Pre-order on the August 24th at 12:10am. Received the phone last Friday Sept 8th. Applied for the gear 360 the morning of Saturday Sept 9th. Was approved in 5 minutes. And they shipped the camera today. That's what I call prompt service! Time is money in NY! No time to wait for the phone to be released hahaha
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] sudermatt:
My credit card just got charged.

How long after that does the phone ship?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] refusedchaos:
I am slightly irked right now. I ordered it yesterday morning and it said I would get it on Friday....then it updated to Monday....and now again updated to Tuesday. Had I known that, I would have just waited to get it in-store on Friday. :<
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] DLG187:
No idea. Mine was charged yesterday (Canada) and the order status hasn't changed yet. Still shows as delivered as early as Sept 15th
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jhom52:
Ordered mine online on 9/6. I was surprised on 9/8 when it was delivered. However, I lost an hour of my life trying to activate it. BB put a different SIM card in my Note 8 than was printed on the box. It took 2 calls to Verizon and one call to BB before we got it straightened out. So, in exchange for extremely fast delivery, I got sloppy product preparation.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] sudermatt:
My grey verizon n8 is Preparing.

So that's about 3 hours from cc charged to preparing.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] PsiPhiDan:
Mine shipped at 3pm finally! Not sure when my card was charged. I'll have to check. Arrival Friday I believe.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Longcat14:
I ordered my phone yesterday, and got it overnighted (somehow) and it was delivered today.

Gotta say, the fastest I've ever seen a phone be delivered.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] PsiPhiDan:
That's absurd when some people who ordered on day 1 are still waiting.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] harrychimp:
So effin frustrated with Best Buy right now. They shipped my preorder Note 8 (which was guaranteed September 15th delivery) via UPS Ground from Staten Island, New York to Los Angeles, California with a delivery date of September 19th. I have wasted nearly three hours of my time between waiting on hold over an hour with their online support only to have the line disconnected by a "customer service" rep who supposedly did not hear me reply back to her Hello, can I help you opening question....then blasting BestBuySupport on Twitter, speaking to the store manager at the local Best Buy only to find out that in this day of physical and virtual inventory, Best Buy does not have procedures in place to transfer orders from online to in-store and vice versa....sorry, that is completely unacceptable IMO. Finally, I have shot off an email to BestBuySupport. We shall see what transpires with this. It's a rather simple fix, but apparently not for a multi billion corporation.

And what's more insulting is reading other posters who placed preorders after me receiving their phones well before the 15th.

To be continued.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BubZX:
Picking mine up tonight in store, got the email saying it was ready this morning
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] harrychimp:
More frustrations from the blue shirts at BestBuy.

Here's my response to their inaccurate email statement claiming that preorders are not guaranteed to be received by the Note 8 launch date. I attached a screenshot of the Best Buy email order confirmation showing the Note 8 will be received by September 15th.

To be continued...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] JamesRiot:
I ordered mine from Best Buy last Friday. Verizon as well. It arrived Monday evening without any issue, so I don't think Best Buy is sticking to the 15th date.

Or, maybe I just got lucky. I don't know.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] PsycloneTW:
Pre-ordered on the 24th, delivered on the 9th. Orchid Gray on Sprint.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] harrychimp:
UPDATE:

Best Buy Corporate called me earlier this morning apologizing for the "confusion" that the Sept 15th was not a guarantee and that a preorder only guarantees that the phone will be available to the customer. I had to correct him that there was no "confusion". Their own confirmation email showed when to expect deliverybof my Note 8. I wanted to be clear that this was their mistake and not a misunderstanding and that their mistake directly impacts me as a customer.

So he offered a $100 hard check. I appreciated the goodwill gesture and also informed him that by not receiving the Note 8 until Tuesday, September 19th could negatively impact me not receiving the Samsung free promotion (wireless charger and SD card) because I need to activate the phone in order to enter for the promotion. He understood the dilemma and also offered an additional $100 Best Buy gift card in case the promo is no longer available.

So I should be receiving a $100 check and $100 gift card in about 2 weeks.

It takes away some of the sting and frustration of dealing with bad customer service and their own internal dysfunction.

I would have preferred to simply have received the phone today without hassle.

I guess social media is a useless tool.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] JamesRiot:
The good news is, according to Samsung the promotion is good until 9/24. So you've made out like a bandit.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Longcat14:
Yeah, I don't even understand why the phone was overnighted to me when I picked free shipping.

Insane.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] brholt6:
I pre-ordered mine in store on Thursday the 14th. The rep said I’d have it by tomorrow (Sunday). Had my pre order receipt emailed to me and didn’t check it until this morning. Says it will be in by 9/29. Last time I looked at the calendar, that’s not tomorrow. FML.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mxx20:
I pre ordered 4 of ours on 9/5, ones showed up and 3 on back order with no gaurentee on time. Im going to have to go to the store I guess... this is frustrating...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] lorilucille9:
I got my first unlocked phone to run on Verizon on Friday the 15th... yep it was the Note 8 I preordered thru Best Buy. One happy surprise today... turn the hotspot on and it works with no need to check for subscription and be told I can't have it on without paying extra. Before this I always ejected the sim door and then shoved it back in to turn on the hotspot before the subscription check. I ordered my free gift today as well. So far I'm pleased!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] harrychimp:
Received my phone Tuesday evening, September 19th vis UPS Ground. Signed up for the Sammy promotion. Expected to receive the SD card and wireless charger around Thanksgiving. Also set up the S7 Edge trade-in for $480 from Verizon.

So my monthly bill for the Note 8 should be $12.50. Not too shabby for a high end phone. [emoji1]
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] unomedmen1:
Has anyone here received the new Edge Screen update for our phones? This new update lets us change the edge light color and pattern that most of us have been waiting for. I saw an article over at Phonearena that said you can just go into the Galaxy Apps store and update the app there. I have checked my own personal phone as well as 4 others and none seem to have this update.

Anyone here know what the deal is?

Thanks.

Android Pay does not seem to work for me, even though it is enabled. Has anyone been able to get this to work?
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] tech_head:
That would be a non starter.

Is NFC enabled?
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] velopirate:
Yes. NFC is enabled.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Zer0_Cool:
Stupid question probably, but did you download the actual android pay app?
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] IM0001:
When you say it doesn't work, I assume you have a card added, and you called your bank to authorize it and your phone passes the safety net check (rooted or not, it needs to pass this)?
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] velopirate:
All of that's correct. Cards are added and phone is stock.

Again, has anyone with a PH-1 gotten Android Pay to work? It works flawlessly on my Pixel.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] brennp:
I just got it to work 2 times on the credit terminal at my shop.

A little slow, had to hold it pretty close.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] vexx109:
I found that the NFC sensor seems to be located in the bottom half of the phone. So try tapping nearer to where your home buttons are to see if that works. (I'll test when I get a chance and report back)
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] njgill05:
Hunh. I just tried to use it at Home Depot and Whole Foods and couldn't get the system to recognize it at all. Though I was aiming for the top portion of the phone, so perhaps that's the issue.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] velopirate:
I think you have found the solution! I could use NFC between the Essential PH-1 and my Pixel. NFC on the Essential Phone is located in a totally different spot than I was expecting. Not an ideal location, but it will work.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] dknisely:
EDIT: Now working; Was: No dice for my Essential at many businesses

Android Pay installed and authorized, and NFC properly enabled.

EDIT: The sensor on the bottom edge worked, but the magic combination is that you need to unlock the phone (e.g., finger print) first, then place the bottom edge near the reader. Payment seemed fast. Will test at more locations tomorrow.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] -Michael_:
Paid with android pay at a maverick gas station earlier. Learned the hard way its at the bottom after waving it on the pad at the pump like a retard for 5 seconds lol. BUT, it worked just fine!
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] IM0001:
Lol, weird but actually good location for you to swing the bottom of the phone over the sensor instead of the whole back. And you have always had to unlock the device to pay on my Nexus.

And the NFC being low might be because they put the 60ghz data bit on the back as well.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] bc14nj:
Thank goodness for this thread. Will try using the bottom of the phone from now on.

I was having the exact same issues...waving the phone like an idiot time and again. It worked twice for me but not about 10 times...

[Miscellaneous Android Development] Monster 00:
I am going to try it out☺
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Nonta72:
Make sure to read the whole thread!

If you miss a step, your software may become unusable.

Try to avoid Xposed if you can!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Monster 00:
OK. Still downloading. I hope that gapps won't cause conflict. It's currently 23:54 pm but I want to try out this ROM. I hope that you will be able to fix the fingerprint later on, no rush.☺?

---------- Post added at 08:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:54 PM ----------

When you say, do not install google apps directly after flashing the ROM, should I install the os, boot it then turn it off and then flash gapps?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Nonta72:
Yeah exactly
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Monster 00:
Tried it. Loved it. Now im going to sleep because its 1:00am. Everything worked. CHEERS bye.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Monster 00:
I went to sleep at 1:10am with 45% battery and woke up at 9:46am now with 40% battery. My phone was on airplane mode and the wifi also was turned off. With the infinix rom the battery would remain intact or drop by only 1% when not in use.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Nonta72:
That's still good compared to ROMs like EMUI 4.1 !
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Monster 00:
HDR is useless it takes normal pics. Age and gender detection does not work. Battery life is not so great but you can still get a day full with it. Internet is fast. Magisk does not work when flashing the magisk modules. I will keep posting stay tuned. If you dont mind these little problems/bugs then you must definitely try it. Its a must!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Nonta72:
I noticed the HDR mode bug later too. Regarding the other camera special effects (age and gender etc.), maybe they require a compatible hardware.

Magisk and Xposed are not recommended in MIUI ROMs as they are not directly compatible.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Monster 00:
Front flash in MI camera works but its always on. Battery drains a bit fast. Beautify options does not seem to work. I needed magisk because of V4A but i maually installed it without magisk and it worked.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Nonta72:
Read the previous comment: Camera features can't be guaranteed to work.

Anyway, I have made a MIUI 8 with some of those bugs fixed:

- Xiaomi Services now work

- Hardware video decoder works (partially)

Still not working:

- Fingerprint

- Seemingly fake camera HDR
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Monster 00:
If i have a fake imei or dont have nvram and nvdata backup will mi services work?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Nonta72:
Yeah, I fixed the Mi Services issues. Coming soon in an update. Working on fixing fake camera HDR too.

Mi Services don't work because in build.prop we have Redmi Note 4. Mi Servers compare our device's IMEI to that of Redmi Note 4 => Mismatch => Server Error! So, altering the build.prop fixes it. I should have listened to you when you told me to change Redmi Note 4 details with those of our device hahahhh
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Monster 00:
Thanks for your hardwork.

---------- Post added at 02:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:45 PM ----------

I found something. If you go to settings then at the top when you click my device then -All specs- you will be able to access some hidden settings. For example, if you tap MIUI version a few times you will unlock developper settings whick will be at Additional settings. If you tap android version you know what happens but when you play the game its super easy and impossible to die as you can pass through the marshmallows. If you tap cpu you will be able to send bug reports. If you tap kernel version you will enter CIT and it will write QC TEST on top and you will be able to undergo various tests.
