[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Ryland Johnson:
I am NOT a lawyer.

Is that situation legal? I have never heard such a case, not even in this country where customer care is an unknown concept! Customers here are simply a disruption to to the life of sales staff! If I have a problem I ALWAYS ask for the manager even then its hit and miss. :eek:

That is a disgrace and you simply MUST protest and speak with a manager, not the person who answers the call lines etc. Write a letter of complaint, keep all copies. Samsung should receive your faulty mobile and simply ship you a new one as all outlets do in person.

Have you read your order contract? It may well be where you live 'all' Samsung must do is refund you? If that is the case and I have no idea, you maybe stuffed? I do know that no company can write regulations that are contrary to the law of the land.

Absurd situation. You must not let this rest. Fight for your rights. Please let us know how you progress and the very best of luck.

Still no help from Samsung.

SAMSUNG HAS NO REPLACEMENT PROGRAM FOR A NEW NOTE 8 THAT IS MALFUNCTIONING, SO BUYER BEWARE.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] pouelle:
My guess: Samsung has no stock to swap out with yet - they shipped them all.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Ryland Johnson:
As painful as it might be, can you tell us what you have done to date? Have you written to Samsung, sent an email, spoken to a manager or the customer services department? Your original post is disturbing and you MUST not accept such a situation BUT i'm afraid its you that has to sort it out.

If you are dealing with phone reps you are wasting your time. Are you in the USA? In Europe there are numerous consumer help offices that will willingly and freely take such cases on your behalf and do their best to sort things out.

In most countries in Europe at least one of those such consumer bodies have legal teeth. Use one.

A massive multi national like Samsung will have a way of ensuring your faulty mobile is replaced with a new one without it affecting your pre sale offers. You 'just' need to contact the right person and that IS a problem. :eek:

I agree but Samsung could, if they wished, get a replacement from a store that has overstocked then replace the OP's mobile. One has to insist and fight and that's also unacceptable.

Samsung in this country have a very cleaver way of passing the buck. Samsung don't sell direct to the customer despite they have their Samsung site BUT Samsung here use sub contractors as distributors so if one has a problem all Samsung do is suggest the customer contact said distributor!

Experts at covering themselves by passing the buck and dodging responsibility. Such practices are not illegal either.

WE have actual Samsung shops here. Everything Samsung from the carpet to the sales staff uniforms etc blah blah. They will sell you anything Samsung BUT if a problem arrisses they will inform you they are 'just' a franchise and cant help you!

When Nokia was big it was exactly the same situation, still is for the fruity brand! No idea how they get away with it?

Almost makes me want to cancel my pre order and pay $300 more to get it from Best Buy or Sprint :/. I don't want to send my Note 5 to Samsuck and be without a phone. I actually can't, I work from home and use my phone for work. Sucks that Sprint and Best Buy don't honor Samsung's promotion.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] F1nman:
Thanks for all the replies. I finally reached high enough in the ladder at Samsung for them to offer a replacement in 2-3 weeks. I can live with that, as the phone is usable, just a PITA to charge (phone often has to be restarted b4 charging. We will see how this turns out.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] slickdaddy96:
Hey who did you contact up the chain? My wife's has touchscreen issues. Where the phone becomes unresponsive by touch randomly than start working again. It is definitely either a software or hardware issues so I'm gonna have to contact them. Will you PM me the email address, phone number, or name of the person you spoke with?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] F1nman:
I do not have a name or email. I finally reached a support tech willing to bump it up the chain, after having them turn me down previously. Reached a supervisor, who was willing to try to help me. Looked up my account to see I am a long time note user. At least he gave me a ticket number for the problem, I will keep you posted after any change.

(If you let them call you back when talking to the e-commerce division, they seem to be a little less rattled, and more willing to deal with you). YMMV
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] slickdaddy96:
I didn't get that far with them. I even talked to Executive Customer Relations and they said they would not send a replacement if I had not already sent it in for repair which is ridiculous because it is a brand new freaking phone. The only option they gave me was refund and reorder.

That opened up a whole other can of worms where the freebies aren't available anymore and had to complain about that till they let me keep the freebies from the defective phone order, but I'm still having to wait for a brand new link to get the $425 off due to being an old Note 7 user.

All they simply had to do was return and replace but they have absolutely no mechanism to do that. Ridiculous for a company that big.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] vincey2kr1:
I’m in the same boat, lost my note 7 trade in promo and they have my trade in since sept 15th. Will issue a so called coupon 6-8 WEEKS, WHEN all the note 7 promotions will be over with.

---------- Post added at 06:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:41 AM ----------

I have premium care and it offers no deductible so I’m thinking about going this route to get a exchange replacement but that replacement could be a refurbished unit, highly unlikely this early. Need to call Samsung direct tomorrow and get this figured out .
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] victorarmani:
Consumer Credit Act 2015 (UK)

If you purchase online you has the distance sales protection of reurting the item as per the suppliers terms and condition which is usually within 14 days for a no question/reason refund. Please check the returns policy.

if the product develops a fault within 30 days you have two options.

1. Request a full refund

2. Request a brand new replacement

if after 30 days and before 6 months of the purchase date your product develops a fault the company has only 1 oppertunity to fix the product. If the phone has a further fault then you can request a full refund.

If after 6 months but before 12 months you can request a refund but they can deduct for fair wear and tear.

hope this helps!
[General Questions and Answers] TomLinper:
Hello, all!

First of all, English is not my first language so sorry for any errors that I might give.

My whatsapp worked well until last week. There, it started crashing everytime I opened it. Then I cleared the data and cache but it kept crashing. Then I uninstalled it and istalled it again. There it started working fine and I thought the problem was solved.

In the next day, it started crashing again. I had to uninstall it and install it again.

As you can guess this is really annoying...

Another thing that I have noticed is that when I install it again and it asks me to restore the data and I click yes it crashed again. but if I click in No it will work fine for some time...

I searched online but everything they told me to do I have already tried on my own.

I have a rooted HUAWEI P8 LITE. It currently has Systemless root with Magisk.

I hope someone can help ;)
[General Questions and Answers] subodh Jain:
I have a Samsung note 8000 which soft bricked suddenly. I didn't do anything. In fact, I disabled root but still it managed to soft brick itself after running BlissPop for a week.

I tried flashing stock firmware from sammobiles and few more websites. When it didn't work, I also downloaded 4Files repair firmware and tried flashing it. I also flashed TWRP again and also tried re-rooting. Also PIT files (I am not sure the version used. Can anyone send me the latest PIT file for n8000). Nothing worked.

I installed Hiemdall tried flashing with it too.

Also tried smart watch and Kies but it didn't work. They aren't able to recognize the device. Doesn't seem like a hardware problem, please help guys!!!!

Hi mates,

Quick question: Do you know if its possible to migrate "sygic gps navigation" maps to "sygic car navigation". On the first there are maps for Peruvian streets but on the latter there are none and I'd like to navigate using my infotainment system. (Otherwise I could keep using waze).

And I found out that Android Auto integration with the infotainment systems is not available for Toyota vehicles :(

Thanks a bunch.

[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Ascertion:
I see the AOSP ROMs don't support encryption and I believe EMUI is encrypted by default. Is it easy to go back and forth from stock to AOSP? Also, is there an easy way to flash EMUI over TWRP? I see some really good prices for this device and thinking about picking it up.:cowboy:

Thanks!
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Saeem:
Yeah, it's easy but it takes time go to a custom rom and come back again

[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] damenbm:
Yah it's easy. The best way is to use the rebrand way. To rebrand to L9 or L19 as they get updates way quicker. All you have to do is flash the rebrand zip and your back on stock everything!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers] safetypinz:
Hey all. Just wanted to see if any one could answer this. Since all the major carriers sold the same model then each phone should be able to work on every carrier. More specifically I have a Verizon gs8 wanted to know if it would work on sprint or even t mobile. I did pop a sprint sim in here and it wasn't working but I didn't mess with any settings. I'm also running unlocked firmware. Does anyone have this phone running on sprint or t mobile? I did call sprint but they said my imei wasn't present in their database so they couldn't garuntee it would work. Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers] harmeet_delhi:
I have a Verizon Samsung S8, that worked fine with T-mobile with few issues.

- WiFi calling can't be enabled on non Verizon Sims

- Voicemail would by default direct you to Verizon voice mail service

- Kept getting an error every time I restart the phone that the sim is not from Verizon

[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] xela19115:
I notice a small bug when charging the phone. When the battery level is at 90% or higher but not at 100%, the phone's LED indicator turns green, as if a battery is fully charged. Did anyone else notice it?
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Final-Mac:
I have noticed, I just assumed it meant the phone was close to 100%. I wouldn't necessarily call it a bug it may be intentional.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] xela19115:
On every other smartphone I've owned, the LED turns green when the phone's battery is at full 100 %, not at 90+ %. On my PH-1, the LED turns green at 90+% and then continues to charge until it reaches 100 % and only then I see the status as Charged.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] skw5115:
I'm pretty sure that's a stock android thing. I've seen this on other phones, all of which were running custom roms
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] resident0915:
Yea, this is normal behavior.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] hx3:
Yeah, it's pretty normal on Android. Especially on all of the HTC devices I've owned. It's a good idea not to charge your device to 100% any way, unless you're doing a battery calibration. I make sure to charge at around 20% and then unplug at 80-85% for optimal, long-term use.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] 808phoneaddict:
Normal behavior. Not a bug. Once root is obtained, you may change this if you wish

[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] KnightWatchman:
It's been a while since I owned a phone with an LED but I noticed this for the first time on this phone. Thought it was pretty cool since I always try to unplug at 90%
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] RoccoN4:
I find none of the light apps work very well. Light colours don't match. Also, can't get the lights to blink differently then what they already blink at. I'm not concerned about the colours as I am more interested in changing the blink rate. Would like it up blink faster.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] twcook:
Sony devices turn green at 90% as well. I find that more useful than 100% so was pleased to see that behaviour here.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] VennligFiende:
It would be better to be green at 80% but you can do that with lightflow.

I try never to charge at 100%.
