well, if its serious enough for media to cover it, its an existing problem, i dont see this in the media about any other country where its happening (i have no bad feelings to the US whatsoever before you think that, its great country!)

And i do realise there are people who are also seeing this, no worries buddy.

Did someone say "aliens"? I'm legal honestly.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nokia920:
You're arguing relative privation, which is bogus. Not everyone got free stuff when they picked up a Note 7. I didn't. Best I got was a discount on another Samsung device when the 7 got snatched back. Which was appreciated, and the right thing to do on Samsung's part.

However, it is still a failure of basic competence and goodwill on Samsung's part to allocate insufficient product to fulfill the obligations promised to customers who purchased new Note 8s on the reliance and belief that Samsung would A. Prioritize Note 7 victims in the delivery que, B. Expedite shipping to preorder customers, and C. Provide the very basic standard of customer service a reasonable person who purchased a $1,000 consumer electronic device, directly from the manufacturer, would expect. Specifically, reasonably accurate ship dates (we're dealing in weeks wrong at this point), informed customer service staff, and at the very least, a short mass email saying "hey, we ran into some manufacturing issues/cargo or import problems/unexpected demand, we're sorry about that and we will have more information for you as soon as we have it". That would go a long way in earning some level of customer goodwill.

It is reasonable for customers to be annoyed when we ordered from Samsung on the expectation that we would receive phones in a timely manner, only to find out that the supply chain was divided, with enough phones allocated to the carriers, who actually have legal recourse and suction with Samsung, and not enough allocated to loyalists who threw their hard earned bucks directly at Samsung. It's not hard to see how that could be perceived as disrespectful and insulting. Many people feel like they were taken for granted, rightly so in my opinion. It is unfair to paint those consumers as entitled and spoiled.

That said, sure, in other markets people got railed even harder. That does not diminish the USDM experience or make US customers any less righteous in their concerns.

I am actually a bit surprised the delays haven't got more coverage in the Android media. This seems like the sort of thing that somebody would pick up and run with - even if it's just entitled people whining, it's good drama and if there's anything the Android community loves its drama.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ryland Johnson:
Hi. Thanks for the reply. There are several points you mix and match with your post. Each needs addressing in turn.

You mention that "Not every one got free stuff when they purchased a Note 7". What country are we speaking of and from whom did they purchase? ALL those in the USA who purchased via a registered Samsung agent got goodies and freebies when they bought the Note 7 . I am not suggesting those who imported from, lets says Dubai, got freebies they avoid certain other prices!

Further to the initial Note 7 sale when returned most clients in the USA who bought from a registered dealer was offered initiatives galore to turn their note in! Same again when the second iteration went pop.....Now after the return many US contractors who sell air service and you pay for the mobile over 24 months etc gave you guys money of the next contract. No end of initiatives where offered to US owners to take their Note 7 back such as half price on an Edge 7 the list of such incentives is varied and differed from supplier to supplier.

In comparison. IN Europe we where offered as a pre order the VR head set. NO OTHER discounts what so ever.

IN Southern Europe, where I live, we have to pay top RRP for the mobile as there are no carriers who have contracts that include a mobile. To that end we paid full retail price then took out an airtime contract.

You write in the same paragraph that you didn't get free stuff then write you "Got a discount" on a replacement phone! What is that if not a free gift? Did you keep your free VR or 256GB SD card? Did you keep your free wireless charger? WE didn't even get those offered here and the VR we did get Samsung insisted we return. Did you keep the phone box with its other contents like headphones, S-pen, pen-tips etc? WE had to return the lot.

What is this 450$ I read about in the USA? Those here who have spent over 1k on the Note 8 have not got a single thing even though we where ex Note 7 owners. Then after all that I read some from the US moaning its not enough....

As for your paragraphs 2 through to 5 I have never mentioned those points you raise? I also think Samsung handled the Note 7 debacle very poorly in this country. That was now 12 months ago and I have long moved on. This is the era of the Note 8 and should be seen as that.

I will stop at that. Sorry for the rant its like a red rag to a bull. At best lets agree to disagree. :highfive:

Ryland

PS I paid the total bill for the Note 8 on the 23 08 17 launch pre sale date (1,020.00€), received the mobile on the 15 09 17 and still have not received the supposed free DEX?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] marctronixx:
Anything before the "but" doesn't matter...

No. Because ANY publicity is GOOD publicity. Why waste money, time, resources on convering some issues about a just launched flagship device when you can use that same resource, time, money promoting your own "about to be released" device?

And yeah, you are beating a dead horse. :silly:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] denja12:
Sadly in europe if we do get goodies its a promotion you have to sign up for with your proof of purchase and it gets shipped after you bought the item the promotion is for.

its also stated that this once signed up for will take up to 6 weeks maximum after acceptance, generally its faster.

be patiant, im in the same boat.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Genesis730:
Maybe a silly question for some but is there a way to only connect to a WiFi upon selecting it and disable automatic connection of known WiFi networks?

My dash cam is WiFi and broadcasts an SSID. My phone thinks it's a good internet connection and automatically jumps to WiFi. Essentially i have no connection whenever i drive. Obviously i could turn it off every time i get near my car and back on when i get out buuuut I'm lazy lol and I've forgotten to many times already. Anyways PCs have a priority (use other connections first) sort of thing. Is this a feature or does anyone have an app? I'll research but though I'd ask. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] BlueFox721:
If you select that WiFi connection, you can disable the autoreconnect option...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] kxdaorbit:
Try this.

Settings > Connection > Wi-Fi > Advanced > Manage Networks > 'your car'. Un-tick Auto reconnect.

Also, under Advanced > Adaptive Wi-Fi > Network Exceptions, you could try removing your car Wi-Fi from staying connected.

Hope this helps. ☺

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] kxdaorbit:
Have you tried turning off 'Adaptive Wi-Fi' completely, turning it back on when needed?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] UberPishy:
My dashcam app attempts to manage the connection itself, you have to initially connect it through the app to enable this.

When you launch the app and go to view or download the video, it connects to the cam and does it's thing. If you come straight out of the app, it stays connected but if you exit viewing the cam within the app, it conveniently disconnects the wifi for you.

Obviously your dashcam might not be capable of this but I thought I'd post it anyway because it's an easy setting to miss on the badly translated app. I've got a DDPai cam BTW. Also, if your dashcam has an app that doesn't do this then it might be worth asking the developer to implement it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] dmunz:
I wonder if this will be a problem with GoPros too. They use the WiFi to connect.

I really want root so I can remove the bloatware on my VS988. Could some please make a compatible custom recovery for this model? Thanks!
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] tech_head:
There is no unlocked boot loader for the VS988.

There is no way to add TWRP without a boot loader unlock.

If you like the LG G6, sell the Verizon version and get the US997 version with has a boot loader you can unlock and it also works on VZW.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] gregfink83:
I have the US997 Unlocked and on Verizon. It works great. After my Moto X I'll never purchase a phone from Verizon again. Unlocked all the way!
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Matt4542:
It isn't that simple. Your model, the VS988, is a locked down Verizon variant. LG has locked the carrier versions of the G6, so it doesn't matter if your on AT&T, Verizon or even US Cellular. You are unable to modify the software of a carrier branded variant. If you wanted to be able to modify your device you should of done research before you made the purchase and went with a US997, as it has an unlocked bootloader and supports the bands for every major United States carrier. Your best bet, if you want to do software modification, is to sell your current VS997 and pickup a new US997 for around $450. All accessories would work with both models so it wouldn't be as if you were buying all new accessories on top of it.

The Surnia Side:

:o:o:oSo i have just downloaded this ROM on my Surnia (XT1526) and immediately when the phone boots i am greeted with a Camera has stopped working (I know this is an issue that has been going on since the thread started and it will take time to resolve the issue) and then oddly enough (Not a problem anymore, only happened once) the system ui stopped working right after the camera during the setup. I have tested everything else the ROM offers and it seems to be normal. The wifi doesn't work at all, and what i mean by that is the wifi is turned on but nothing is showing; i have tried restarting the phone and of course it did not help at all. :p:p:p

Problems

: :confused::(:confused:

===================

1. Camera:(:(:(

2. WIFI:(:(:(

Summary: Everything is smooth and in working order when it comes to performance, the phone speeds right through everything. Overall a good ROM that needs fixes/updates :victory::victory::victory:

I got a zagg one from best buy. Expensive but zero problems since it's been on. The very edges have adhesive that is visible on the curved sides making a slight line. Not a deal breaker but it is there. No halo effect like I had on the note 5 protectors either. Expensive but I'm very happy so far.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] TheXclusive814:
Do you have a picture with the case on? I have the defender also and looking for a tempered glass
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Mike02z:
The problem you will find with most glass protectors is they typically only have adhesive around the edges. This means there is a gap between the protector and the screen and this decreases sensitivity. I'd look for a new case that works with Dome Glass. Cases are a dime a dozen but glass protectors with full adhesive are very limited. I typically buy UAG cases but only the Monarch UAG works with the Dome Glass. There are 3 YouTube videos that go through compatible cases for Dome Glass.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] ange.mariie:
Sure, the case comparability test by mobile fun on YouTube. My case is yet to arrive, as soon as it does I'll put up pictures.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] AlexanderBlaQ:

Otterbox has the Alpha Glass out already.. Was going to get a defender + alpha glass if I didnt already have a UAG plasma :(
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] howard8546:
Dont waste your money

ALPHA GLASS FOR NOTE 8 This is the WORST designed screen protector. It causes a major loss in screen sensitivity, to the point of having to tap screen several times, and press down with a good deal of pressure to get the screen to respond. There is a large gap at both top and bottom of screen. Adhesive is CLEARLY visable on all borders of the protector. I am extremely disappointed in the design of this! I have used alpha glass protectors before on my Samsung galaxy s8+ and was looking forward to the release of this one. I will be telling everyone i know to steer clear of this product! DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY~ YOU MIGHT AS WELL FLUSH IT DOWN THE TOILET~ I am a faithful customer of Otterbox, I love their cases, but this screen protector does not live to otterbox brand. I will stay a customer with their cases, but I will NEVER again purchase an alpha glass!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] ange.mariie:
Otterbox defender & whitestone dome match made in heaven

So I just finished installing my whitestone dome glass protector, what a great system, 1st one failed cos of my error but second time worked sweet as. All cured and sitting pretty, absolutely no touch screen lag very responsive and very nice to use, wouldn't even know there was anything on the screen.

My case of choice is the otter box defender, I'm hard on my phones and with the note 8 almost costing a mortgage deposit, I want it well protected. Both the whitestone and the defender case appears to be made for each other, the edge of the protector sits almost flush with the top part of the case = perfect fit. No lifting no nothing. It's amazing to say the least..

The corners are actually protected by the corners of the case and it's like the case holds the glass even more secure, again no lifting or anything.

Hope this helps some of you out. I'm happy to supply pictures if any of you guys need.

Happy protecting everyone.. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] dmorf:
Could you keep us updated on your experience with this? A lot of other people have concluded that if the case is in contact with the screen protector, it will start lifting at some point.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] kdatale:
I was using tempered glass screen guard on my Note 8. However I dropped the phone twice from a height of about 2/2.5 feet and the screen guard cracked. I am now using Samsung original clear view case for Note 8. Should I use glass screen guard with the clear view case?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Jammol:
The screen protector is supposed to crack so your phone screen doesn't. My advise, if you like your note 8 put a screen on it! ?
