I am not sure, but DOA for Samsung mobiles is 10 days, but do check it. If it is within DOA period, you might be able to get refund or replacement in most cases. If you bought from Amazon, DOA is 10 days.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] deohrishikesh7:
Ok. Got it

I received reply on twitter from them. Lets see what happens
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Virgo_Guy:
So, no hope for a replacement as the timeframe is of 14 calendar days. DOA claim is accepted even for cosmetic damages. (hard nut though).

Since that time is over, you will have to live with it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] devvfata1ity:
DOA is 14 days but its extremely difficult to get the DOA certificate issued by the service center idiots until and unless its some very obvious defect like non-working camera, s-pen etc etc.

Also another pain point is that most of these service centers' so called product experts/engineers will ask you to leave the phone with them for a few days for them to "user test" it. That is just another term for them telling you that you paid for the phone but they are gonna show it off to their friends.

After you have gone through all this charade, they may or may not issue a DOA certificate.

After sales support is the reason i still keep an iphone with me.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Zappapp:
Have had this DOA issue with a laptop which was ordered though Flipkart and after months of fighting & mails, was able to get a refund. Have never had to claim DOA with Samsung, so not much aware on it. Also thought that DOA period of Samsung mobiles was 10 days, but probably i am wrong.

Friends I want to sell my Samsung gear sport watch. If anyone's interested pm me. Its box packed.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] gaurab03664:
Did anyone try the cheap screen protector case friendly from Amazon? Let me know if you have. Thinking to buy a cheap one. ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] ravijani:
link for both case and screen protector?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dpk1:
Be warned that although this case has got killer looks and is barely noticeable, it will not provide any protection if you drop your Note 9! It's there for day to day scratch protection. It doesn't get fingerprints on it but is slippery as f**k! It's a Henks case and I do like it. Here is the link from where I bought it.

The screen protector is gadgetshieldz.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] lycan_codex:
Lemme know if anyone wants to buy my 2 weeks old black 512 GB note 9. Pm me if interested.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Virgo_Guy:
:o it reflects your frustration, might be for some valid reasons.

I'm waiting for 10-30 pm tonight to see if anything excites. Not being negative about google's offering in a month, too.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] lycan_codex:
Tell me about it. If the new iPhone X's Max has 3400 mah battery, then it's gonna have an insane battery life....not to mention the standby time are near perfect like a pixel device.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Zappapp:
Why do you want to sell? PM me the price & your location. I am not interested, but somebody i know is looking for one.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Virgo_Guy:
Sure goodman. 7nm chips, bigger battery in a bigger phone, insane standby, next gen face id, unbeatable ecosystem, are upfront....

I just wish they don't make the dual sim version China bound.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] lycan_codex:
Its gonna be exclusive to China i guess....let's see. That and new Pixel 3 has me excited. Let's see.

XS - 30 min more battery life than X. Starts(64 gigs) at 99900 INR.

XS Max - 1 & half hr more batterylife than X. Starts(64 gigs) at INR 109900.

These two will arrive in India on Sept 28.

For XS Max - Physical dual sim for China, Hongkong, Macau...

1 physical Sim & 1 eSIM for other regions in XS, XS Max. JIO & Airtel have eSIM support in India via postpaid connection.

..

Cheapest model XR has 1 & half hr more batterylife than iP 8 Plus, will start selling from October 26 at 76900(64 gigs) INR.

..

As always, price is high. Rupee falling down and import taxes going up, end result is ridiculous.

Some Retailers are selling Note 9 128 gigs for 56k cash payment.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Zappapp:
As per some guys, 512GB on cash payment available for around 65K at many places.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] lycan_codex:
Yeah....I am gonna get it from Us or any duty free zones around the globe. iPhone X's Max 256 GB would be 1250 dollars. Around 89k. I will wait for what google will bring to the market. There's a chance they might release a bezel less pixel 3 XL...fingers crossed. Not gonna bite the bullet on any Samsung phone unless they fix the battery drain.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Virgo_Guy:
Apple honoring global warranty, it's been a wise decision since the last predecessors :good:

..

Personally, I'm "notch" so bothered by the Pixel, will be just happier if they surprise us without it:)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] mps200034:
[MENTION=4840558]Virgo_Guy[/MENTION] where is it available for 56k ? I would like to buy.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Virgo_Guy:
Retailers in Mumbai.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] mps200034:
Asked many places in mumbai today but didnt find any good offers all with Hdfc Cash back & 61500 in cash.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Virgo_Guy:
All I can say is- there are retailers selling at that price. That's an unofficial quote though, hence unable to share store details and such.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] pratik_193:
Hey guys, anyone knows if snapdragon variant is available in Mumbai? from grey market?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Zappapp:
Heard that it is available in Delhi in the grey market. No clarity on the price though.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] pratik_193:
hmm..if its available in delhi, it should be available in mumbai too. have asked my retailer to get some info
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Zappapp:
....but watch out, Snapdragon version has issues of Camera freezing and blurry/hazy pictures. I have postponed my purchase of Sanpdragon version N9 because of this. This might be a software thing, but it exists in random sets.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Zappapp:
Look for contact details of Royal Cellular on the net. This guy is in Mumbai & should have SD version of N9. Had bought a couple of mobiles from him a year or 2 back.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] pratik_193:
Check out the review below, even he's getting good battery life..!! thats strange..

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Shy5MGHiBp4
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Zappapp:
I have seen a few guys with Exynos getting good battery life, but the ratio would be like 30 : 70. Almost opposite is true for SD version.

Above makes me believe that there are some inherent problems in both versions of N9, which is leading to such huge variance in SOT. Usage pattern, signal strength does count a lot, but guys with almost similar usage pattern & signal strength are getting a difference on SOT's of around 2-3 hours or more.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Zappapp:
A friend in Delhi bought a 16 day old N9 -512 GB Blue for 58k. As per him, it is in impeccable condition. 3 unbranded covers were free with it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] drtushar:
How long does it take for the watch to deliver. Its showing processing since last 5 days with no further progress.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] lycan_codex:
It's gonna take 10 working days....you need to patiently wait. I ordered on 31st August and it was packaged on 13th September.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] harshmehta29:
Nope no September security update yet
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Virgo_Guy:
Some aren't getting it even after almost 3 weeks. Samsung is short of stock(gear sport only :laugh: ) as per info I have.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] lycan_codex:
I ordered on August 31st. I have a tentative delivery date of 18th September. It got postponed by 2 days already.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] pratik_193:
So I went to Samsung store to JUST take a look at the phone. Coudnt resist myself and got one.! :victory:

Got 40k for my Huawei p20 pro.

Battery life is good, fingers crossed. I am on 1 day 3 hours off Charger, sot is 4 hour 15 mins with 40% battery still left.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Zappapp:
Congrats:good::good:. Have fun with it. Any discounts on N9 price in Mumbai?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] pratik_193:
Nahh. Just got 6k cashback.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] pratik_193:
Does anyone know how do i enable wake screen on notification arrival (whatsapp, sms etc.)

Also, the intelligent unlock is pretty slow..!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] gaurab03664:
Only Iris is much better.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Zappapp:
So, you have the N9 now for a day or 2. How do u rate it viz. P20 Pro in terms of Battery life, Camera quality, UI and anything more you feel is worth mentioning here .

I am holding my horses till Mate 20 pro is released on October 16. After that, i would decide on N9 or the Mate or something else. If i go for the N9, it hopefully would be the Snapdragon version ( if i can get one ) for better battery life. As per some posts in XDA, Snapdragon version has a 15 to 20% better battery life than Exynos.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] pratik_193:
Battery life is almost the same on P20 pro and the N9. But Mate 20 will have Kirin 980, so it might be more battery friendly.

I miss the front fingerprint sensor and the fast face unlock. N9's fingerprint and face/intelligent unlock is pretty slow.

Feature wise i would choose N9.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Zappapp:
Can you explain the feature thing in detail? Yes, N9 has Spen and that is a major plus . What else in features?

Mate 20 pro might be my first Huawei phone and i am a bit apprehensive on Huawei viz. Samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] pratik_193:
i woudnt go with another huawei phone. they have a great hardware, but the support sucks. plus the restriction on unlocking bootloader has created a lot of backlash for all the huawei users. You can check out the p20 pro thread.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Zappapp:
Ok, thanks. Let me have a look there.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] RanMN:
Been around 3 weeks since I exchanged my S7E 32GB from 2016 for a N9 512GB in black :). I got 11k for the S7E.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] shuvadeep:
Just upgraded from S9+ 256GB to N9 Copper 128GB. Personally I like the shape of N9 as compared to S9+. Cant comment on battery life as its hardly 3 hrs since I got the phone. Got it along with the Gear Sport for 60k.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Zappapp:
Congratulations guys. Hope you really like your new phone.

Do give a feedback on its battery life and your overall impressions, whenever you are comfortable with your new devices.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] pratik_193:
When did u purchase it? Did u pay full amount for gear sport or got it in discount?

Screen protector that works great!

Had gone to Croma to look at the TVs, and accidentally ended up finding a screen protector that actually works!

At the Croma outlet in Oberoi Mall, Mumbai, you will come across a fancy machine set up by Scratchguard. It is like a computerised cutter, where you feed in your phone model number, and the machine cuts a sheet into the proper shape.

The chap at the counter then applies it to the phone (after cleaning the screen and spraying it with water. The process is similar to the wet application method used by GadgetShieldz and others). He will also warn you not to put the phone back in the case (or your pockets) for at least a few hours. Total process takes under 5 minutes. Costs Rs 499.

Over the past few years, I have wasted lot of money on screen protectors for phones with curved screens (starting with S7E, then S8+, Note 8 and now Note 9), and I have become very cynical about the whole thing.

But to my surprise, this screen protector turned out to be surprisingly good. It fully covers the edges and does not peel or lift up when used with the case that came with the Note 9 (not tested with other cases). It is TPU, not glass. But the quality is good and it does not feel rubbery. Using the S-Pen is also a smooth experience.

Not sure if your local Croma has set up that cutting machine, but I think it is certainly worth checking out. Especially if finding the right screen protector has turned out to be frustrating experience for you.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] pratik_193:
Thanks for the info. Will go over the weekend.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Zappapp:
Are you aware of the website of Scratchguard, so that i can find addresses of their Agra or Delhi outlets ?

When you go there, please check on their website address and address/location of their outlets in North India & post here.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] lycan_codex:
Did anyone get an update on their phones? When r they gonna ******** release it in India....it's almost month end. It was already regular updates with S8+ and S9+
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] mps200034:
[MENTION=9200084]Zappapp[/MENTION] This is the website Scratchgard.in nothing on website its available in many Croma & Alfa in Bombay.Its called Scratchgard On Demand.Real good product got it on Pixel 2 Xl & Note 9 front & back.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] sandeeppathak007:
Guys I have applied Czar scratch guard and it's perfect check that is all I would say

Edit ; this is similar to gadgetzhieldz screen protector but not a wet application, once applied it does not even seems that it is there , been using from last two week and been holding up pretty well. I tried that Spigen tempered glass as well but since that is a side glue the dust started to accumulate below the glass and it was not a good experience at all.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] drtushar:
Note 8 getting the sept update but not the note 9. When will Sammy learn about updated from the fruit company
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] rpankaj:
Ordered that gear sport on 2 September and its still in processing.. Samsung delivery is pathetic. Sometimes i even forget that i have ordered a smart watch..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Virgo_Guy:
It's hightime but that's Samsung, since birth.

Keeping OEMs driven by Pure Android or least customised version like OxygenOS aside, it's a distant dream to get timely updates and timely OS upgrades. Expecting a bloated OS and skinned Experience UI of Samsung to get updates on time is kind of an insane dream in comparison to the fruit company that has full control over their own OS specifically designed for their hardware.

Gear Sport inventory for resellers(and general online buyers) and buyers who bought using the preorder-benefitted coupons are different. They are back in stock as per info but keep waiting as they even increased the unofficial waiting period and officially it's even longer :o
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Paras Lehana:

How much?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] drtushar:
PM me
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] BoonPhunchok:
I barely get 4hrs of SOT and I'm grateful when I manage to get that lol. Usually I get 3hrs of SOT WITH Facebook and stuff. I don't usually play games.

See it ain't a note without its features and I'm not going to compromise on that, that's for sure.

We got fast charge too, so it's cool. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] lycan_codex:
Facebook app is the biggest culprit when it comes to battery drain. On a side note, did anyone get a firmware update so far? its a shame we havent got it even now.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Virgo_Guy:
No, it's not being pushed out yet, so definitely no one has received it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] pankajgavri:
It's a shame that indian region gear sport does not support samsung pay :crying:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] BoonPhunchok:
You know what to be honest I took my Facebook app off my phone and was still getting 3 hrs SOT. So with he Facebook, I went into the app setting and put the background activity off plus the background data usage off also. It makes no difference to be honest. But yeah whatever it's alright man.

I tried putting the phone display to HD and I managed 5 hrs SOT but again, who would want to compromise ya. So basically whatever it is, it's cool.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Virgo_Guy:
FB has never been a big drainer for me in any of my phones as well as fiddling with the Settings it can be set to drain far less than what it does in default settings.

But, the battery life you are getting is weird. I wish I could have a look at your entire Settings, syncs and app setup. You can PM me about the same.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] BoonPhunchok:
You can tell me what all you want to see, I could probably pm you or something?

Tempted to pre-book the Note 9 but then Samsung pulls stuff like this.... Damn...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] dr.ketan:
So got the device demo and checked following things

1.OEM Unlock available out of box on indian version :)

2.unfortunately infinity WP with animation while unlock is removed. Though I have checked sources on dump framework and it's partially removed so I still have hope for custom rom users

3.A/B seamless updates I don't found

4.treble support enabled

5.Dolby no much different from s9+ (I felt same like on my N8 ported rom)

6.Spen have option long press - open camera

While with single press some action according app opened

Camera - take picture

Gallery - next, double click previous

Same with music tracks
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] saj2001ind:
Cool

Any date given for its availability?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] dr.ketan:
Earlier said 19th but he said, may be on 25th
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] saj2001ind:
And did you get a confirmation sms while pre-booking from offline store
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] dr.ketan:
No

And last time while on N8 didn't get either but got same day.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] saj2001ind:
And btw Flipkart lists as delivery date as 23rd and Samsung online says shipment starts 20th

I am assuming similar date offline should also be made available
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] kingjack:
Finally booked Ocean blue 512 at Reliance Digi Store by paying 2k. The store manager told me that it should be available around 23rd/24th

Also ordered skins from dbrand. Any recommendation for a slim screen protector, as i don't want to have a case and want to protect Note 9 from day 1
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Zappapp:
As per Samsung Cafe/Local Dealers here, bookings are negligible till now as compared to N8. Maybe, people are pretty satisfied with N8 and don't want to upgrade so soon.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Virgo_Guy:
This seems to be true as I have similar info.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] ravijani:
Damn on hands it felt great.

Spen charged in almost 30 seconds for me on demo. It said something like attaching or recognising spen at first, maybe because it was first time someone tried it.

Spen was snappy while using :victory: but coming from note 4 i saw it lacked texture:crying: maybe its same since note5 or 7.

Action memo on double tap is there which is quite nice for me. I cant live without it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] dr.ketan:
Indeed N9 have nothing much attractive, specially who are using N8.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dpk1:
True. Not at all a significant upgrade for a note 8 user, unless, of course, if one requires to use two sims all the time and finds 64 gb of internal storage insufficient (like me)!

Anyhow, that should translate into timely availability/delivery of note 9 to those of us who have pre-booked ;)!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Zappapp:
Yes, i am buying because i have bought all Notes, including 7, which i later returned, but i feel that this upgrade to N9 would be the least attractive and least sought after upgrade in the Note generation till now.

Lets hope that N10 has everything we wish a Note to have:angel::angel::good::good:.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] dr.ketan:
Same here, bought every note Samsung have released, and want to continue it. Other wise there is nothing much to update from the N8
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] saj2001ind:
so we want a 99% bezzless display (without horrible notch), in screen fingerprint, camera capable of both telephoto and wide angle, a quad DAC like LG :)

and pixel like smooth software without skin :)

but yeah they should have at least done some changes to design with N9...keeing N8 and N9 design same makes it look outdated, but yeah at least they didnt copied apple notch which is good
