Did never-msrp ship your purchase from US? or from Taiwan/HK? Just want to double check since he is offering and charging for an 'overnight' shipping option.... Just trying to clarify because they are quite fishy with their tactics and do not respond to emails and then the timeline..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] w8wca:
I answered that in post #34 here - I do not know have to check ebay listing
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] evangelionpunk:
Not quite what my follow up is trying to clarify. Some eBay sellers list all sorts of locations for both themselves and their item locations and then ship from elsewhere eg overseas.

You would know from your tracking number which might still be on your eBay account or email and the shipment information when you had received it, from whence it came.

so basically, it takes 7 days for this to showup so you can't root before 7 days is that correct?

i am on the fence about buying from the same seller right now on ebay for 729.99
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] hardKNOXbz:
I'm about to pull the trigger too. This post made me feel more secure about doing so. Ordering a whitestone dome as well.

The only thing that makes me wonder about buying this device is that it seems that they are open box, as some users complain of not getting the normal android set up dialog. I believe these guys probably do a quick test before shipping out to make sure it is not DOA.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] thedicemaster:
depending on what country the phones are from, they might have no choice.

many N950FD models have a region lock which can only be removed by using a local SIM for a few minutes, until then you can't make use of any "foreign" SIM.

it would be a rather unpleasant surprise if your new phone told you to travel to the other side of the world to activate it, so they do this activation step for you before shipping it out.

I don't know about asia and South America, but the ones from Europe definitely have this lock.

and to clear up some confusion about model numbers and target regions:

0 is China (CDMA support, no Google apps)

F/FD is international (GSM)

and, as far as I know, all other model variants are for the different US carriers.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] hardKNOXbz:
Aahhh... Thanks for the Clarity. I understand why they must open and power on and activate before shipping out. Definitely worth it at $730. I will probably be purchasing this week.

Edit: Damn, price went up to $790

Well after having this for 4 months now: I like it, but I doubt I would buy it again!

It is easier to hold than my Faithful Old Note 4.

But it is just not wide enough for me to like it as a Note Phone.

The usable part of the screen is only about 1/10" (.108") less wide - but it seems to make a big difference to me.

(When using the S-Pen)

I still do not like the odd size.

I still hate the curved edges

Fair enough. I thought i would feel the same but i actually really like the new dimensions and curved edges. Different strokes I guess :)

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] dannejanne:
I agree I strongly dislike the 18:9 ratio. It's just stupid. Videos get either black borders or cut off. With 16:9 you get full screen view as should and they feel much bigger. The curved screen is just as stupid specially on a phone with a pen and that is suposed to be productive but they have chosen design over function. My pen often slides over the edge when swiping as I type text for example. It's just plain stupid to put design over function on a phone that is focused on functions and productivity.

I bought mine (FD) in Chile but I assume that this phone was imported to here and then sell.

I tried to enable oem unlock but there is no way to make it appears.

So according to you: if this phone was imported to be sell in Chile I need to make a factory reset with my Chilean SIM in order to get a Chilean csc (I didn't do that till now). Actually a have a foreing csc so: (the one million question) I don't have the oem option because I'm on Chile with a Chilean SIM but with a csc from another country? I guess that if I do a factory reset in order to get a Chilean csc (because this firmware are multi csc) could i get that option?

Thanks in advance

Samsung Pay Language

OK This is from Taiwan

I probably should not have (as it will do no good), but I registered it with Samsung and it would only let me register it there. (Probably the Country it was made for)

Now - Samsung Pay keeps giving me Notices in Chinese.

If I do a factory Reset (all Data) and set it up like buying a used phone, will that get rid of the Samsung Pay Notices ? (In Chinese that is)

I do not recall getting notices like that before I registered the Phone.

It's impossible. You'll create a paperweight by trying. The partition layout of the unbranded versions (all are GSM devices) differs from the ones of the CDMA versions (Sprint and Verizon).
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SuperFrancis:
thank you, I was almost aware ;)

But in view of your preparation, I ask you something else related to the subject.

I noticed that the SPRINT version of M9 has updated the firmware while the VERIZON version no.

being both CDMA models can I turn my VERIZON into SPRINT and vice versa?

If you are now compatible with Italian frequencies (now verizon also works in 4G)

THANK YOU again for the answers and the expertise.

Is there a way to change the emoji type? I'm not a fan of the standard weird shaped face one.

I've only had the phone a week so not looking to root yet, especially as is work phone. I usually just flash an emoji pack or LOS ROM to fix but obviously out of the question at the moment.

I have tried the app huawei theme and downloaded the Oreo-emoji and got it to work on my p10 only when using the English language
[Huawei P10 Questions & Answers] Jannomag:
You can try to make an own theme with the Theme Maker from Play Store. You can add fonts, so it should be possible to add an emoji font.

If this won't work you need root for replacing the emoji font.
[Huawei P10 Questions & Answers] SavageRobot:
Thanks both will look into. [MENTION=2275639]berka38[/MENTION] I have searched "oreo" ion the "themes" app on phone but nothing coming up, do I just search in there?

To see all the emojis, you can try restarting your device, but if that doesn't work, you will need to clear your keyboard's data.

Also, depending on the keyboard you're using, it might not support all the new emojis yet.

Anyone else suffering random reboots? I have got my Note 8 N950F for a few days now and sadly have to notice that I see random reboots from time to time. Sometimes I saw the Samsung boot logo, sometimes i noticed it because I hat to enter my PIN after reboot. For now it seems to happen once or twice a day. Quite annoying.

Rogue app?

Sounds like something installed is not agreeing with your device. Usually thins can get tangled up when you do a restore from an old back up for example.

Did you have an older model note device that you restored form perhaps?

I'm using a T-Mobile variant ands no such issues.

As an aside, there is an option in the phone (you may already know this) that will restart the phone at a setting you setup.

Maybe also try clearing cache on your device?

Do you have Substratum installed? I installed Swift Dark and noticed what I call mini reboot, phone would lock up for a second and just the carrier label came on and everything was fine again.

My note 8 n950u1 has rebooted multiple times, but not in one day. It has restarted for the third time (ever) this morning. The first time was Gmail, second was Facebook, and this third time was Gmail again. My best guess is it might be a ram glitch because it seemed to happen when the app was trying to do a lot. Now, I have no idea if this is true, but it is my best guess. At first I thought it might be because of the snapdragon but seeing how others on an f varient with the exynos chips are rebooting too, that theory is shut down.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Nick216ohio:

SM-N950F here same problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] amyf27:
Mine ended up random rebooting four times from Sept 7 through about Feb 1. Then about two weeks ago, it completely froze, then decided the port was wet and wouldnt charge at all (port wasn't wet). tried a few things, then did a factory reset, where it actually rebooted probably 20-22 times (well, during the reboot process, the black screen with Samsung flashed probably 20 times).

Needless to say, I talked with Samsung and then TMobile. Got a replacement and it's been great since.

Can't believe it's now been over 5 months since I first got my Note 8. Even counting the replacement, I still LOVE this phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Motorpsycho:
It seems Oreo Update has fixed this, at least for me. No unwanted reboots since a few days.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] OFKL:
Thanks for the update, please keep us up to date even if you continue to have no problems under Oreo. BTW, I have the exact same problem (using N9500 dual SIM with Samsung processor as opposed to Qualcomm) as you but do not have Oreo available yet. I'm getting the restart message every few days and its always after the phone has been idle, usually overnight. Its asking for a PIN due to restart as I use face recognition. Also I transferred over data from a Note 3. Want to ask you, did you try to wipe the phone completely as a solution to the restart problem (before Oreo became available)?

Thanks so much in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] winol:
I am still waiting for oreo OTA, but after almost 5 months, I have not had a single random reboot or freezing, even though I have a bunch of stuff disabled
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] OFKL:
Am curious as to how you guys resolved this issue? I have a dual SIM N9500 HK unlocked phone which does this. From what I have seen so far it is not a full restart but a restart of the GUI and the historical battery graph seems to show it cutting out temporarily. This does not not occur constantly. IT seems to be random and happens when the phone is not in use (at least for me). It does not seem to be generated by any heat or active usage. I have only had the phone for 2 months and this occurs about every 3 days. I first noticed it when I because using face recognition as the phone will indicate its been restarted and ask for a PIN instead. This probably started before using the face recognition and I did not notice it.

The symptoms are identical to those reported with the S8 and I noticed 76 pages on the Samsung board discussing the issue but it seems Samsung started purging some posts. I had one wiped out in less than 12 hours after stating I find the issue to be identical to the S8's.

Ok thanks for the info. Hmm, not sure... It could be a specific app causing a conflict somewhere. Did you install anything new recently? If so, try uninstalling it and see from there. If nothing, then I would backup my stuff and try a factory reset if the random reboots persist.

Is there an option on the LG G6 to make app scaling to full screen 18.9 the default for all new apps?

Each time I install a new app I need to manually go in the app scaling settings and change it to 18.9. I would like the install to do this by default.

There aren't many apps that seem to do anything different with this setting, but I want to try them all to see, and hope that some of them will make a difference.
