I ordered two phones, one for my wife and one for myself. Fedex delivered one package today with one phone. Both packages were scanned in to the local drop center at 5:11am this morning. One was scanned onto a truck at 9:30 and the other one has no activity at all. They have no idea where the other package is. And it being Saturday evening, they said that they're unlikely to get it figured out until sometime on Monday morning.

I was so looking forward to getting the phone and setting it up tonight.

:mad::crying:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ggrant3876:
Well you got yours, it looks to me like your wife's is missing!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mrnovanova:
It sounds like internal theft. Check Craigslist maybe. ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] usmaak:
I never thought of that. Fortunately it was never delivered, so it's not my responsibility. They are saying that it'll probably come on Tuesday. We'll see if that happens.

But you do bring up a good point. I should probably contact Best Buy and let them know what's going on. If it was stolen, it's their problem. Well, theirs and Fedex.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] usmaak:
I like the way that you think! :D
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] bober10113:
did you try the fedex guy's pocket?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] usmaak:
I questioned him, but never got that personal. :D

He even showed me his package sheet showing only one package.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] bober10113:
they are getting slicker and slicker on covering their tracks...lol but seriously, it might just end up finding it's way to you next business day. If not, fault is on them. Once it's on your country's soil, they cant call foul play on loss/theft and deny responsibility. they acctualy had it in their depot. U'll either get a refund or a new one i would think. You just need to harass the shipper now.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] usmaak:
I've been harassing them non-stop for most of the day. They told me on the phone that they only deliver Tuesday through Saturday for this type of Fedex delivery. So the next chance that I have to get it is Tuesday afternoon. If it's not delivered by then, then the harassing starts again.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] bober10113:
Hope i wont go through this my self. But then again,i payed mine with paypal so usually they are the muscle.

Since its the international variant, im reading up on how i can change the csc to a canadian variant although i cant flash the rom since obviously its exynos vs snapdragon.

trying to keep busy while waiting for it to ship....

also ordered a couple cases and screen protectors to test out. its very hard to pick only one of each and be satisfied with the results. theres always some weird fitting issue or simply trash quality that makes the device feel sub pare.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Slicktune22:
What if your wife is just setting up a prank with the Fedex guy, to then have Aston Kutcher jump out the bushes and your being featured on his 1st episode to his comback of "Prank'd" but before Aston uploads it to MTV your wife uploads it to YouTube and it gets millions of views bringing in revenue and being able to pay off both phones with the YouTube money and win a chance to see the Note 9 google edition prototype running android Oreo at the Samsung Lab.

Ya know, that's another thing that I never thought of. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jason504:
Man that sucks I would be pissed. But what could you do? Hope you get it soon it's a great phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ihavenewnike:
They didn't lose it I think. Same thing happened to me. Th3y said they couldn't find it, but found out it was locked away in some container and it was delivered the following Monday. Just wait for it is all I can say
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mcdanielvzw:
Why would they not deliver the package on Monday? That doesn't make sense to me, express delivery should happen any business day of the week. Maybe that's why mine says delivery Tuesday even though it's in the local sort facility already.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] usmaak:
The guy that I talked to at FedEx called it "FedEx Home Delivery", and said it only runs between Tuesday and Saturday. It's probably the cheapest way that they could find to deliver it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mcdanielvzw:
Interesting, FedEx Home Delivery is listed as Tuesday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 8 p.m.; Saturday, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m

Looks like no phone for me tomorrow, Tuesday it is :(
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] shollywood:
Same thing happened to me. Supposed to be overnighted to me last Thursday. Arrived is Memphis depot, from there, nobody knows where it is. I asked them how is that possible, that's their core business, shipping and being able to track the shipments. Anyway, I told them to send it back when/if they find it. Fedex is crap!!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] SuperDad3Gs:
Don't feel like you're alone. Fedex has lost my Note 5 I sent in as my trade in. I have verified it was picked up by the driver, but has since disappeared, there's not even any tracking information. Fedex is supposedly researching, but I don't expect it to be found. That puts me out a phone, plus the $425 trade in credit with Samsung. Soooo pissed right now....
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] koolboyztn:
kind the same happened to my friend Note 8, he had it hold at UPS location for pickup but when he show up to pick up the phone, they can not locate it. :) :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] tokoam:
I thought my phone got stolen I brought a unlocked note 8 unlocked from Bestbuy. When ups delivered it it said left at front door, it said it was delivered at 10 :44am.When I walked to the front door I did not see any package mind you I had been up since 7am waiting for this damn truck. So I frantically called ups and was told the local branch manager would call me back within the hour 40 minutes later she called and spoke to the driver and said he will be coming by my house to talk to me.He finally showed up about an hour later with a package in his hand which was my note 8! He delivered it to the wrong house!!!!!! So keep a watch also bestbuy does not do signature request which is dumb for a 1000$ phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] usmaak:
I wish that I had a happy ending type of story like yours. Unfortunately, FedEx officially admitted that my phone was lost a few days ago. It was scanned into the station nearby and then it vanished. Probably stolen. I let Best Buy know, so that I didn't get charged.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] cmwade77:
And this is why I don't buy from Best Buy, seriously this kind of stuff happens with them all the time. Either buy direct from Samsung, Amazon or go physically into a store to buy.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] usmaak:
I went with Best Buy for the $150 off. I didn't have a trade in. The $150 was only for preorders. I also like being able to return it to/exchange it at the store down the road, if there's something wrong.

This is the first time I've had a problem getting a package from them. The fault lies squarely with FedEx. Well, I suppose that BB can share some of the blame because they chose to ship it the cheapest way possible.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Demonface.24:
Fedex did that when I ordered tires for my car. They delivered it to the same number house but on a different street . Good thing the guy who lived there was nice enough to come to my house to see if it was mine or not. I didn't bother calling fedex cause they probably would have done nothing about it .
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] RMXO:
Don't feel bad, I just found out my laptop i returned to Amazon came in an empty box. Good news is I still had my shipping receipt to show that the laptop weight to prove I shipped the laptop out. Either someone at UPS or Amazon stole my laptop. Currently waiting for the investigation results.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] RaymondPJR:
Last year I went through almost the same scenario with my second Note 7. It was marked as delivered, but the driver actually didn't drop it off. He came by and left, I guess. I was in a funk the next day when he showed up out of the blue with my phone!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Blues fan:
I thought Best Buy you can have it arranged for in store pickup instead of shipping it to your house? If I was given the option I would have it delivered to the store. If it doesn't show up there or it's broken it's on them then.

I ordered from Samsung.com and got my phone a week later thanks to Irma and UPS morons. First, the phone was not loaded onto the plane in time even though it was sitting at the Louisville hub for two days. Then the following day they shipped it but instead of flying it to the Ft Myers, Sarasota, or Clearwater which uses UPS they sent it all the way down to Miami. Then just as that happened they stopped all shipments due to Irma. Then after Irma was gone, UPS two days later was back in service over here but my phone sat idle in Miami for another 4 days due to I guess power issues over there. If they would have shipped it to Ft. Myers RSW like they were supposed to, I would have had my phone on 9/8. I was so mad.

Next time I will order from Tmobile instead of rolling the dice with Samsung. Tmobile just opened up 3 more stores in my county so I just might walk in after launch next time and purchase outright. We used to only have one tmobile store in my county and they're always run out of stock on phones. You then had to drive over 30 miles to the next closest store.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] fix-this!:
seems the dev stopped making the kernel and closed the thread. does anyone have the latest v4.1 they can upload? he also deleted the links.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] BonkersTheClown:
I don't expect there's much that can be done if the hardware is to blame. This reminds me of my Galaxy S3 -- so it's a problem that everyone else fixed ages ago. When I touch the touchscreen, very very often, it doesn't register that touch at all. Sometimes you get a delayed response. This leads to all kinds of fun where you tap the screen again at the same moment that PH-1 responds to your first touch, so it applies your second tap to whatever is going to come up on the screen a half second later.

Does anyone know if this can be fixed by firmware updates or is this a hardware issue?
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] mastercut:
same here! my huawei honor 8 is much faster
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] martinezma99:
Touch Screen unresponsive is a hardware issue. I had the same problem with my HTC U11 until it was replaced. Essential phone does not have this issue assuming screen is working properly.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] hx3:
Touchscreen responsiveness, having to tap more than once for the screen to register a touch and awful light bleed caused me to send it back. But it was from the first batch that were manufactured. No issues on my U11, but I bought it in early August.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] flakko86:
Confirming u installed the most recent OTA (NMI64C)? Because that fixed my touch issues.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] BonkersTheClown:
Yep that's what I currently have. I think the phone found that update on its own a few days ago. Touch issues seem to be hit or miss and maybe less frequent since that update. We'll see how it goes from here.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] mastercut:
touch unresposive is due too thermal trottling or like me the launcher stock.

Solved with Evie launcher
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] hx3:
Using a different launcher and such didn't help me out, unfortunately. Besides the tap issues, scrolling through a web page in any browser or with apps was extremely slow and laggy. My PH-1 was already being returned, so I couldn't test the latest software update they pushed out. But my device also had some horrible light bleed all along the left and right edges.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] rajeshr:
No light bleed here. But d@mn, the responsiveness of this touch screen is worse than any other phone I've had. And the new software update hasn't helped at all!...
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] ampink7756:
Same issue!

I too am having touch screen issues. Today, I was on the phone and went to go back to the screen and the screen stays black. I tried everything including pressing the power button and I got no response from the phone whatsoever. The only thing that finally worked was to press the power button and the volume down button and hold them at the same time to shut my phone off after the call already ended. In addition to that issue , I also use Swipe to type and when I do so it often skips over letters and types words that I am not even trying to type . It should be mentioned that I'm a very experienced swipe user and I have not had this problem with my S7 Edge or my Wellington . Also, I should mention that I have the most recent OTA. Also, has anyone else noticed that the camera shutter has a serious delay in it even with the Google camera mod?
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Shadow Samurai:
I've noticed my touch screen freaking out sometimes. It has more to do with the screen having too many prints on it. Guess it's a bit too sensitive. I wipe the phone screen off and it's fine. Doesn't happen very often. I have one of the latest batches, pure white.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] D4rk_nVidia:
Already looked into this?

Sensitivity:

1. Tap on the "Settings" icon on the home screen.

2. Tap "Language and Input".

3. Scroll to the very bottom of these settings and tap "Pointer Speed".

4. Increase the slider to make the touch screen more sensitive and easier to tap. Decrease the slider to make your touch screen less sensitive and more difficult to tap.

5. Tap "OK" and then experiment with the results.

Essential Support still working on that and they send me this instructions for now.

I think it makes the user experience better.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] basongwe:
Same.

Hope it will have a fix soon.

[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] ddish:
Just got mine..same thing but...

My screen was doing fine until i installed "All in one gestures". I was messing around with side gestures and this caused the screen to be non-responsive. I un-installed the app, reinstalled it and set it up differently and now it is fine.

I hope this helps.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] cptsashimi:
This helped me. I have mine set at approximately 3/4 and I'm happy one day in. Seems to work great now. I would still like smoother scrolling though. Thanks a million.

I was also having trouble with Android Pay and then found a post about the NFC being located near the bottom of the phone as opposed to the top as on my Nexus 6p.

With these problems fixed I'm completely pleased with this phone.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] drumrjoe:

I went from S7 Edge to N8 under the impression that the camera, and especially the 'live focus' option, would be improved. However, I'm very dissapointed so far and I miss 'selective focus' from the S7.

Any chance of bringing 'selective focus' to the N8? :fingers-crossed: I believe the S8 has it?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] arange:
I also miss the N7 and S7 selective focus.. hopefully itll be back as a download or update to the camera app. Downloaded an old apk of he selective focus part of the camera but it doesnt work.. Shot and more doesnt work either (i liked he removal and dramatic shot modes :/) dual shot and surround shot work though
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] JimKnuckles:
While I love the Dual camera and the live Focus, I do wish they would have left the selective focus in the camera app. There was a time or two so far I wanted to use it
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] arange:
It's still available in the front camera modes, just not the rear.. Live focus is nice when it works but again.. no pan focus (the lens is f 1.9, theres plenty of blur already)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] HiGreen:
In my experience the only time Live focus doesn't make the subject in focus kind of grainy/low res is in broad daylight. That wasn't the case with SF. Hopefully someone will bring it back :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] JimKnuckles:
Yes, I'm talking about in the rear camera. Does me no good on the front camera
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] arange:
If its possible to port the N7/S8 camera app and have it run as a separate app from the system camera then it might be possible to have both live focus and selective. (And get shot and more back too?)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] dineshdotcom2000:
I have got Note 8 on 21 Sept India. While going through camera i found out that Selective Focus option is missing in camera. Is there any to get it. Live Focus does not make blur front and focus on back

[MENTION=631843]arange[/MENTION] i still can't find the selective focus in the front cam? How does one access it?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] arange:

No bloat from carrier, no boot sound, "stock" Samsung. You'll lose Wi-Fi calling depending on your carrier, you'll lose rcs, 256Q, and 4x4 mimo.

Overall I found the tmobile firmware better with just disabling the bloat through adhell.

With unlocked tmobile N8, if I flash unlocked fw, then device should work on Verizon?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] manmay:
hello - i also have this question. (sorry noob here).

I got my tmobile note 8 unlocked by paying off the the pending amount and followed the Tmobile's device unlock procedure. But even after that the phone did not work with Verizon's network.

Reading BlueFox721's post for carrier switching (link)

Is my understanding right that, first I have to follow the Carrier Switching procedure and then I can choose between 2 options

(opt 1) flash a specific carrier FW or

(opt 2) i can choose to flash the phone with the unlocked firmware.

Am i also right that flashing the phone with a carrier specifc FW provides some advantages that are specific to that carrier's network setup (features such as wifi calling, 4x4 mimo) and that also adds some of the bloatware from that carrier.

appreciate your help in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Mr. Orange 645:
Yes
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Shadow_Sheik:
Dumb question. If the device is carrier locked, say to tmobile, will flashing unlocked firmware on it unlock it as well? or is it based on imei?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] shouren04:
Nope, unlocked FW won't sim unlock the phone. And if you want to use Tmobile's unlock app you need to use it with Tmobile stock FW.
