[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Lembo:
I maybe the only one here and sound rather spoilt but I was hoping for an gift or accessory for pre-orders like a few of us.

With the S7 it was the GearVR and last year they promoted the AKG earphones with the S8 (ok, they came with all of them). It also came in a lovely big Samsung box.

Even though it hasn't stopped me upgrading I feel they missed a trick here by creating more buzz on pre-orders.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] skivnit:
we get a year of bein connect for free but i have a theory. Samsung lowered prices in some countries and priced higher on others, to compensate they offered freebies to less developped countries like mine (Morocco). To me looks like the richer countries are paying for poorer countries well except in the US. The other problem is, just from browsing the s9/s9+ forums i can see that the sales will be much lower, as we had hundredrs of posts on the s8/s8+ fourms during the preorder period vs less than 100 here. So Samsung should give more freebies in few weeks to boost sales
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] misiokicio:
True lads, most countries gettin free wireless chargers etc, dex would be nice to get as a freebie, ahh.. i bet there'll be some freebies like a month after or so
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] M.Noury:
In Saudi Arabia the pre-order is for th 256 GB varient only and the freebies are : (Selfie Stick;Car Charger;AKG wireless Speaker;Wireless Charging Stand)*
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] dread123:
yep not happy no freebies on offer in the uk!!!
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] skivnit:
ok through a carrier we get the AKG y50BT, a 128gb sd card and 1year bein sport for free :)
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] olaf63:
Here in Italy S9+ is sold at 999 Eur. A little too much for my taste, They offer a buyback for used phones that in most cases is enough fair. For example S7 Edge is rated 350 Eur, S8+ 450, iphone 6 200 Eur. Sadly being patient and waiting for next months rebates wil be possible to buy the S9+ around 800 Eur and sell These phones for a little less thanwhat Samsung offers with more convenience. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] skivnit:
Here it costs 838 and I can sell my s8 for 370 and get the freebies
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] laurie9300:
Australia here, wireless charger for a freebie, but S9+ 256 is $AUD1499
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Pavly28:
That's alot. £890 conversion to GDP. Is it the same spec as UK [6GB RAM, 128GB storage]?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] FSalema:
I also noticed this price in Italy and asked the same question but no, it's the same version with 64gb storage. Every Amazon in Europe charge 950€ except Amazon.it.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] kumar abhishek:
S9+ 64GB 900$ here in India and with a very good exchange offer that can get you even more discount
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] livelyyoungman:
Rightly said. I have pre-booked one by availing card, exchange and EMI discounts. I have opted for 18 months interest free EMI which is fantastic. As mentioned above the freebies only add to the cost of the overall price of the product which I am not that keen.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] theniveus80:
In Indonesia just get TUMI Case for all preorder S9/S9+
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] brejzek:
Not only are there no freebies but they had no discount bundles for preorders like they do for the released ones now. Kinda crappy Samsung .
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] The Root:
I already have a VR, AKG headphones, and a 256gb EVO card from prior purchases. It'd be nice, but this time I just needed the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] hero4eva:
I got wireless charge and a Samsung tab A
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Wlk:
In Czech Rep you wont get freebies but you can handle your old phone to get 100€ discount + price of your old phone if it had any value. Think its much better than freebies, which you wont usually use...
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Pasito:
I got a Harman Kardon Onyx Mini for pre-ordering my S9+. Price here for 128GB is MYR3999 ~ USD 1022.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] kipmast:
Ever since I updated to 8.0 last week I have had to reboot the phone on a daily sometimes twice daily basis because all the sounds randomly become very low even though the volume for all sounds is at max. Very irritating. Anyone else experience this issue?
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] Kaesberg:
i have this exact same issue on my device i did a factory reset and it did not go away. this is why they need to unlock the bootloader so we can fix our our issues. im working on a flash script that i will test since i have others i can use if i need to rma this device.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] kipmast:
You would think others will be chiming in here shortly after they update. I doubt we are the only ones that will notice this issue. I would hope and expect MOTO/Lenovo to push an update out to fix this and any other issues that may have been noticed in the Oreo update. This I can at least live with as annoying as it is, Unlike my issue with my GEAR S3 Frontier no longer charging post the Tizen 3.0 update!!!! Samsung has yet to address this bug rendering this product useless for now.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] Kaesberg:
i called at&t and they are replacing the device since they dont have a way to revert the software or unlock the boot loader to allow me to fix this my self. once my rma shows up i will be doing some very risky mods to the device. lets see if we can get some traction on this device.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] TheLooq:
T-Mobile variant here. I notice this randomly too. As best I can recall it only occurs when I disconnect my Bluetooth headphones. Toggling Bluetooth on the phone seems to reset volume levels.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] kipmast:
Nice! I will try this next time it happens- Much better than rebooting each time.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] kipmast:
I tried it and it worked! Much better than having to reboot the phone everytime the volume takes a dump.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] TheLooq:
Good to hear it works for you as well. Maybe Moto will fix that bug in the next update, there is a lot of talk on the Lenovo forums about Bluetooth issues since the Oreo update.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I have been wondering about this question for quite a long time:

Is there an advantage to flashing a later (more stable) build of a ROM once, rather than flashing the ROM at an early stage (when it still has some bugs) and then flashing builds as they come out? Can a buggy first build leave an impact on my phone, even if I flash a more stable build later? The problems I'm thinking of are incompatibilities, broken system apps, etc.
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] XDARoni:
​

Honor kicks off their beta program for the Honor 7X, which was our pick for Best Budget Phone recently. This program will allow users of the 7X to get early access Android 8.0 and EMUI 8.0 on their device. The beta program is currently available for France, Germany, Spain and Italy, but they’re willing to open it up to other countries if there’s interest. So if you have a 7X and you’re not in France, Germany, Spain, or Italy, leave a comment below with your country and we’ll make sure Honor knows about it and hopefully they can expand this program to other countries soon.

To join the program:

Download/install the beta apk from the link below, on your Honor 7X

Launch the beta app and login with your Huawei ID

Go to Personal> Join the project> Project available

The beta build will then be pushed to your device via OTA software update.

Germany Download

Italy Download

Spain Download

France Download

For USA signup, fill out this Google Form with the required information.

Discuss the EMUI 8.0 beta with other 7X users in our discord channel here.

If you can see the comments from xda feed's post there are like 40/62 people asking for beta testing in India .

Please open beta testing in India too
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] SageWilliams:
Hey Chris,

Is this the signup to be apart of the US Beta or just a petition for Honor to consider the US?

I ask because I'd like to sign up but need to wait to get my replacement 7x unless it doesn't matter what imei I put in the form?
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] topnomi:
I'm hesitant to put my imei number in a random google form. I'm pretty sure we're supposed to keep that number private...

I was too, but I saw that the official Honor USA Twitter shared the link as well and decided to fill it out anyway.
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] topnomi:
Well, after your statement, i decided to go ahead and fill it out. Hopefully it doesn't end up biting me in the ass.

Very stable, I could not find any big mistakes so far. The battery life is just as good, but not better, and unfortunately without face to unlock. On the whole, very satisfied.
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] daniel.hecht:
I would say the same as Oli67. Stable, good battery life.

Some things are much better now:

- my Mifit App syncs now ultrafast with my MI Band 2

- Bluethooth connection with my VW Radio connects much faster and finally automatically starts the last played song at the time it stopped.

That didn't work at all before.

[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] jhass:
I want to second this, if you enrolled for the beta and didn't update yet, please capture the OTA. Since it seems to be the full firmware package it will actually allow people to unbrick their devices and upgrade rooted ones! How you ask? Let me give you some hints, it doesn't require any modification to your phone:

Either get Charles or mitmproxy and run it on your computer, for mitmproxy just in regular mode. Next on your phone go to the settings of your wifi connection, hit advanced and configure the IP of your computer as HTTP proxy (make sure to have no firewall running on it), as well as the proxy port (usually 8080 iirc). You should immediately see some requests in Charles or mitmproxy as soon as you reconnect to your wifi. I don't remember but you might need to install the custom TLS certificate on your phone for it to work for everything, see /documentation/using-charles/ssl-certificates/ at Charles website for Charles and here /stable/concepts-certificates at mitmproxys website for mitmproxy.

Now once that's up start smashing the get full package option in the system update dialog. Once you are downloading check Charles or mitmproxy and share any URLs you see to update.hicloud.com:8180

I had signed up for the 7x beta and then traded it in on a Mate SE for the extra ram and storage. Very happy that I did, camera seems to load consistently faster.

Anyway, I emailed the FUT testing team to inquire about the Mate SE and this is the response I got back:

"Last time we checked the Mate SE will have the FUT trial right after this model. But, yes. We can add you in the test if you did not get to participate in this model."

I emailed them back to see if I might be able to get a more specific time frame and information about how to sign up for that test. I'll let you know if they reply.

So given nobody seems to be willing or able to capture us the update URLs, would somebody that already got the beta in Europe send me the output of

adb shell service call iphonesubinfo 1 | awk -F "'" '{print $2}' | sed '1 d'| tr -d '\n' | tr -d '.' | tr -d ' '

and

adb shell service call iphonesubinfo 8 | awk -F "'" '{print $2}' | sed '1 d'| tr -d '\n' | tr -d '.' | tr -d ' '

[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] mtweisenbarger777:
I have noticed the freezing/lagging is gone as well (I also have the BND-L24). I mean it acts nearly as quick as my GS8+ now. However, I do not have the face unlock feature (which is disappointing me off cause I was looking forward to it) and they took away the ability to lock the screen using the floating nav button. I like the new features with the floating button but why did they remove the lock screen button? I don't like wearing out my power button. Anyway, its 100% smoother and worth the update just for that. Oh and the camera is noticeably faster.
