[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Ianjb:
I have spoken with Samsung and the financial company about the upgrade programme as like you say the S8 was released less than a year ago. Samsung didn't seem to know how the upgrade programme worked and asked me to contact the financial company who stated that we could only upgrade after 12 months of starting the agreement with them, which for me was April 17 even though I got my S8 from pre order last year??

I still haven't heard anything through their facebook messenger and I did contact them last night :(

FYI guys you can check if your elligable here: https://shop.samsung.com/uk/multistore/ukupgradechannel/ukupgradelounge/registration, gutted as I'm not due till the beginning of April!

Great Job JoJo,

When did you order yours last time? I preordered mine s8 and can upgrade now
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] jojosplace:
I preordered my s8+ however there was a mess up and I didn't get it until about 2 weeks after lainch, perhaps that's why I've been pushed back.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] billabong7721:
I ordered mine on 23 April 17
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Lembo:
Where did you find your agreement number? It says 7 digits but mine show as 9xxxxx-001 or ref P4L-xxxxxxx (which doesn't work without the P4L either)
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] jojosplace:
It was on an email I received from Close Brothers, 1XXXXXX-001 and just ignore the last 3 digits and dash.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Lembo:
Ignore me, found it and ordered :)
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] kjtaylor13:
Hi,

Mine was XXXXXXX-001 so I removed the -001 and was able to use that.

Cheers

For those who has ordered have you been able to track order on Samsung site? When I try to log in following link to track order it tells me my email is wrong

Hi,

If I click the My Account button in my Order email, and then click Track Order, And enter Order Number and Email Address I get to an Order Tracking screen.

Hope this helps.

Thanks

Didn't work for me keeps saying invalid
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] DM-XDA:
Has anyone noticed that upon completing the upgrade form the Close Brothers Pre-Contract states that "Hybris Live" is the retailer providing the phone?

Are they a subsidiary? Seemed odd to me.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Babychan:
I noticed that too. But on the agreement it says Samsung. And I ordered the plus on the agreement its just say s9 that's why I wanted to check my order but I still can't track it and Samsung was no help.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] DM-XDA:
My agreement also says S9 even though I ordered an S9+. If it helps, I contacted Samsung's online shop support and they've confirmed receipt of my order and it is indeed an S9+.

It is a bit confusing. You can contact Samsung for a Live Chat on their website until 8pm. Maybe try that to get clarification.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Babychan:
They were useless said couldn't find my order so I called up and they said the same. They said it could be that the close brothers is still processing my order that's why I can't track it.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] shurupx:
There was a question previously: Are the current phone's peripherals expected to be returned when upgrading?

Handset only or everything? What if I don't have a charger, or, say, headphones?

It didn't particularly state anything regarding peripherals, when I've applied for an upgrade today

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] DM-XDA:
Just an update to reassure you:

I've contacted Samsung Shop Support and I asked them who Hybris Live were and the guy I spoke to said they were a valid company. I don't know who they are in relation to Samsung but it seems legit.

Also, I rang Close Brothers and they expressed confusion because as far as they were concerned, I'm not eligible for an upgrade until April. They said I would end up with TWO agreements, which is worrying. I asked Samsung about this and they confirmed the previous agreement would be settled regardless.

I just hope they're not assuming that!

All this faffing about makes me think I should have just been patient and waited for Samsung to invite me to upgrade!
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Babychan:
Hmm maybe should have waited for Samsung oh well. But some people who that link said they couldn't upgrade yet. So think we should be ok fingers crossed.

Hi,

Do you send your s7 back via dpd/any other delivery company you used or do samsung do this separately????
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Cholek3:
I have mobile insurance through my bank. What happens if I have to repair my phone due to physical damage or even worse, phone has to be replaced due to repair procedure being more expensive than phone is worth?

Do I have to inform Samsung about that fact?

Would I be still under upgrade program and eligible to upgrade in 12 months time?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Tony_J:
Just out of curiosity, is there an option to trade in another phone when it's time to upgrade from s8 to s9 on the upgrade program? or is the trade in only for new customers?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Thehoodedclaw_uk:
Lost Box

I've lost the box with the headphones in it, so all I have is a mint S8+ and power adaptor.

Just received the S9+ on the upgrade program but now worried how to send back the S8+.

Has anyone sent theirs back when they receive the return pack ? Do you need the box ?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] tsssst:
Hi

I'm thinking of getting the S9 through the Upgrade Program but need to ask a few questions to those who perhaps used it to get the S9 from an S8 they got last year?

1. How much value or was your S8/S8+ worth after a year had passed, or how much was the trade value in comparison to how you much bought it for?

2. What happens if you paid more than your monthly amount to pay it off sooner? ie. with the settlement figure

3. Did anyone go from an plus model to a non plus model and if so, was there any financial benefit?

I guess i want to check its worth it as ther 0% interest rate is pretty good in itself.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] mys3:
Must you return the previous phone and this be without a phone for a period before they ship the new phone?

It’s a shame the Samsung shop doesn’t offer upgrade like Apple as you can swap there and then
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] robbiej2016:
What a mess

It is a shambles, initially said I had already upgraded when I had not. Now i can pre order but without water damage they grade it a C with water damage they grade it a A, work that out! They also did not say what they will offer for my S9+ even though as a new customer they offer 350! Its a joke
[General Questions and Answers] UTNoodle:
So iv had these for legit half a year now and still only worn them for a few hours overall. There just crap and i waited for absolutely ages to receive them thanks to the mysterious setbacks of the kick starter.

The idea of them is they have bone conduction audio technology (Yes like what some army and high end security use) on the tail end of the ear stems, this allows you to hear audio into your ears without your ears being blocked so you can still go about normal life hearing the outside world (like having a portable speaker near you all the time that only you can hear). They also have changeable lenses, a 'gesture' touch pad on the right side (tap for pause swipes for media controls) and a light up logo plus mic for calling. Hell of a good idea for city bike riding or walking thru a park where you wanna hear your surroundings but also like the company of music.

Paid $124 on Jul 11 2016. was the 10,417 backer aswell :P

Estimated delivery: Nov 2016, got them around September 2017.

There just not loud enough, the quality is very lacking, the frame size is chunky and the sound bleed is awful. Just a heads up to not buy a pair.

Pros, The accessorys are good, custom hard case with cutout for the glasses and the charging port is in an amazing place. Also cannot complain the build quality of these is alright, not odd noises or bendy-ness to them

Note: I still have mine as i collect anything tech and just never sell anything so i got them for the keep.
[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] kingd421:
I just ordered my 7x a couple of days ago. I've seen some reviews about bloatware. I was just wondering, is there a lot of it? Can any of it be uninstalled or just disabled? Don't plan on rooting the device any time soon so would like to eliminate as much bloat as possible without root.
[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] bloodbath:
Really depends on what you consider bloatware. It comes with a lot of Google products, Facebook, Instagram, and some others. I only use a handful of Google products and none of the social stuff. It also comes with a few Huawei products I don't use. For me, that's a lot of bloatware. To others who may use all these apps, it may not be.

I will say it sucks to have apps like SwiftKey preinstalled because I use the beta version. This creates two different versions on the phone. I can't say if this is true for other apps, but it could be.

It can't be uninstalled by the way, well not without root. I don't believe they can be disabled either, but could be wrong about that.
[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] kingd421:
Thank you for the response. Its apps like facebook and Instagram that I don't want on there. I use Metal, just lighter and don't need to use the messenger app. I figured it would come with Huawei apps. I just didn't know if it came with bunch of stuff. Still excited to get the phone. Its been years since I've bought a brand new phone lol.
[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] ayush rao:
Those apps are easily uninstallable though.
[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] kingd421:
Are they? Sweet I was hoping they weren't system apps. I had a galaxy s6 which I'd still be using if I could root it and install all the **** Samsung and at&t put on there.
[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] ayush rao:
Haha! All the third party apps included on the phone can be uninstalled. Tech reviews keep saying bloatware for EMUI phones but never really explain which apps can be uninstalled.
[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] str8stryk3r:
Not exactly. Facebook came pre-installed and can't be removed iirc. I went through and disabled every app I didn't use. Basically what it does when you disable a pre-installed app it resets the app back to factory version then disables it. Below is two screen shots. One of the pre-installed Facebook and another of an app that I installed myself. When clicking the Uninstall button it gives two different options.
[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] brassmule:
I was able to uninstall all the 3rd-party apps that came on my phone (US). CNN, Instagram, Facebook, Messenger, one or two more. I was also able to uninstall several Google apps: Google+, Google Play Books, Slides, Docs, etc. Just Music & Movies and TVs were the only ones I'd rather unininstall but were system apps. There is also a program called Facebook App Manager that can only be disabled and not uninstalled.

Overall, the bloatware was pretty light and it was easy to remove 90% of it, so even if you don't intend to root (I do), it's not really bad at all. I am a bit shocked, frankly.
[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] kingd421:
Very nice. Mines arriving today can't wait. I intend to root at some point but I keep reading that there's no stock images released yet and I don't want to mess up and not be able to fix it afterwards. So I'll just use it as is for now and wait for the development to pick up first. If I get the urge to flash a custom ROM , people keep releasing them for the nexus 5 which is what I'm currently using.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] yelov:
Aight, I have S7E G935F and I wanna sell the phone. I wanted to unroot the phone, so I installed stock firmware through ODIN. I added AP, CP and CSC. I didn't add BL 'cause it gave me an error (sw rev check). Now I can't open S health for example, because it says it doesn't work on rooted phones, even though root checker says I don't have a root. Halp?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Cholek3:
You need to flash the newest firmware for your phone CSC. That means including CSC. Newest firmware would not give you that error.

64GB so far. No mention of the 128gb variant. Maybe sometime in the future. Pre-order gets you the 150$ bill credit. I know it does for Robelus not sure about Freedom tho.

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] miterb:
The executable is in the \Windows folder along with some other related stuff. You might want to search them out and try deleting but best to back up your device before you do. I would not try it myself as there is plenty of memory around to leave Opera there. You can always assign the Explorer button to IExplorer and disable the vue-flow (which I have done) and still have Opera available in Programs in case you need it for some exotic website, at which it seems to be better than IE.

1st you will need the update from china or from geekbuying.

2nd an flash memory stick of 4gb or more because the rom is about 2.3gb, and put it in

3rd connect the memory stick to the phone with an usb to usb c adapter

4th enter in TWRP->Reboot->Bootloader->Reboot to nubia emergency recovery->Choose Update Package->And you choose from OTG device.

And thats what I did and now works like new

As title says I'm looking for a 8.1 rom that has expanded desktop working correctly, or something that is the same as OOS compatibility mode.

The reason is that some games are completely unplayable without this feature, as they get cropped out from the bottom of the screen.

The only custom rom that I've found that works correctly with expanded desktop mode is Sultans 13 rom.

I figured since the LOS 14.1 is released now, the feature is working correctly in all 2/25 roms, just need confirmation.
