Really confused about what is happening. I received my phone on the 12th and noticed there was a fault. Was told by Samsung I would receive a replacement upon them recieving my return. They received it yesterday and I was told they will check it over and I would get a replacement in around 3-5 days. Today though I received an email saying they have my return and will process a refund I sent an email to the people I had been speaking to and send the screenshot of the email. They must have looked into it and then phoned me explaining they can't process a replacement for some reason and they will have to cancel my contract and credit agreement with close brothers and then re order the phone. I asked what the reason for this was but they couldn't help. Find it really strange why. Surely this will mess up my credit rating or something I don't know.

I discontinued using my wireless charger last night. The fans are noisy (for me) in the night. I've 2 others from amazon totally silent and work perfectly.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] crazy88:
My Samsung one is on my desk at work and an old anker one I had at work is now at home. Its silent and with the Samsung charger and a decent USB cable it'll fast charge wireless too!

I don't even notice the noise of the Samsung charger over the general office noise.

New update out for unlocked note's
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] npras42:
Disappointing. Just a security update and nothing more. This doesn't include the fabled camera updates...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] mimo2008:
I was thinking same thing maybe they stopped the camera update as seems some people are having issues with the camera update i think. But I've not had any problems with mine.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] @home:
How can we tell if we have the camera update or not?

I manually flashed with the update in the thread.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] hari:
That's the change log for UK Dual SIM version View attachment 4610508
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] mimo2008:
If you flashed and it was over 300mb file that should have included the camera update. As the one we just received was only 72mb which is just security update and possibly bug fixes
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] crazy88:
I just had the security patch update too, but not the 300mb one for the camera, which is the one i want.

I'm growing tired of the cameras crappy performance :( Love the phone apart from that though.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] mimo2008:
Why what problems are you having? As mine seems working fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] crazy88:
It's just not working as good as my s8+. I get blurry images too often, due to crappy focus or whatever else. It's not bad bad, but it's frustrating when a phone is 18months newer, a flagship, and has a worse camera.

I know some others don't seem to have the problem though? I just learnt that with the s8+ i could literally point and shoot, I feel I have to be more patient with the note 9.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] pigglett:
I'd take it into a Samsung service centre and get it checked out , only took 30 mins for them to do full diagnostic and give a 5 page run down on my sons S9+ (he had camera problem) they also found faulty charger port that we didn't know about . They fitted new camera module and charging port in 3 hours .
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] crazy88:
I'm gonna wait for this update, and if it doesn't fix it I will take it in, good idea!

In what way was your s9 faulty? Was it complete failure though, or just not performing well?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jonathan-H:
I noticed in low light at a sea world centre that it blurred images of moving animals. I know what you mean about blurry images. I think in low light especially it doesn't get the right shutter speed. I had to switch to pro mode and increase the shutter speed myself.

It does need a steadier hand than a Pixel 2 or even an S9+ but when the shots come out properly they are just as sharp.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] pigglett:
Some pics would be fine others full of artifacts /glitches
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] mimo2008:
Strange how the 300mb update ain't come out yet wonder if it's been pulled.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] npras42:
More than a fee... ... ... security update.

So depsite my disappointment above there has actually been one major positive. The update seems to have fixed Bluetooth in my car. Previously it would connect fine but would always read on my cars dashboard that my phone had no signal. This meant that although I could make a call using my phone and it would route through to Bluetooth fine I couldn't call from my cars in built dialling system.

Anyway I'm pleased to say it's all working fine now. Been in the car a few times since updating and I have had a connection and display of signal on my car dashboard everytime.:good:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] pigglett:
I've had that same problem since new.. I'd have to reboot phone to show signal every few days. I've not checked since the update as not been in car much
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] stewarta13wsb:
UK update to September received today for sim free but nothing else listed like HDR update. Anybody know more details of what's coming when?

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] mimo2008:
Looks good might have to invest in one myself.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] nathlynn22:
Although in reality the case is really nice and I would like to keep using it wireless charging does not work properly with my Samsung charger keeps disconnecting and reconnecting naked phone and in my neo hybrid no problems though
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Limeybastard:
Looks good, what's the edges like on the case, any ridges or sharp corners like Port holes ? Cheers.. ps is your new note 9 good now ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] nathlynn22:
I haven't been using it since found out wireless charge doesn't work with it.

I've got it now yeah I do like it but only thing is dont really like is I don't think battery life is great. And typing isn't very smooth for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Limeybastard:
Sorry to hear that.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] mimo2008:
Strange how Samsung are releasing updates with 1st September security including camera update. But yet on my unlocked BTU I've got the 1st September security update but no camera update as of yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] del1701:
Same here, guess we'll just have to wait [emoji849]
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] stewarta13wsb:
Yup, me too, and I was making the same comment just last week.

It's such a shame that a huge company like Sammy who get so much right, who innovate and lead, let down their customers with late updates. They have the resources to make this issue go away, and don't start me on carrier updates before SIM free :crying::mad:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] mimo2008:

I know your pain tho as WiFi stopped working after an update on my simfree Note 8 and I had to flash Vodafone firmware :eek:

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] andrewbowes:
I had the same issue with my sim free when I moved to Vodafone. I contacted theie tech support and asked them to send the configuration to my phone. 2 minutes later i had wifi calling. Didn't need to flash a Vodafone rom. I searched before hand and this is common on the sim free phones.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] mtej2093:
Yes same issue here.

Noticed wifi calling only work when there is no cellular network at all.

Preferred network is changed with latest update. ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] pigglett:
I already knew that trick(used it thru 2 S7E's and Note 8) but it didn't work after a security update on my Note 8 , even factory reset didn't work so as a last resort tried Vodafone firmware

Minute I get newly released Samsung phone I ring Vodafone to send the configuration files ;)

Any one know what I need to do with my note 9 if I want to take it for repair or get a replacement I've noticed recently with the noise from the speakers if I'm on a phone call on loudspeaker if I turn loudspeaker off I get a crackle from the speakers. Also worse is when I listen to audiobooks on loudspeaker the speakers crackle every so often when playing books. Seems to distort I know it's not the book as they all do it.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] FlexPen76:
Haha, yeah good point!! From looking at the T&C looks like it's applied automatically from your order. Guess it's a case of screenshotting everything though just in case! Feck it though, I'm going give it a shot. Too much of a deal to pass up.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] daddyo:
I took a screen shot of the £575 valuation and then a screenshot of the terms that state ...... the extra £200 will not show up on the initial £375 valuation but will be added to it when you get the money paid into your account. Also took a screenshot of the charger offer which comes 14 days after the phone if you are going sim free.

I fully expect them to mess up and just pay £375 but surely even CPW can't argue if you show them the screenshots as evidence when they are needed?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] thering1975:
That's why I screen grabbed it. When you visit the page at the top it states the extra 200. Then when you select your phone in the bottom right in my case the note 8 it puts the value in plus the additional 200.

It appears when you goto checkout you pay full price and register for a returns envelope. If I remember correctly once they have the phone back and it's approved the rebate is paid directly back to you within 7 to 10 days

And I'm with you Dixon's and cpw are about the least trustworthy but if you have the evidence they can't argue.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] daddyo:
Yes same for me........ It quoted the £575 on the first screen in red as per your screenshot but then after adding to basket that's the last I saw about the extra £200. After I completed the order I filled in the returns bit and it only mentioned £375. Was yours the same?

I did what others above done, went to Carphone website, took screenshots of my Note 8 evaluation, ordered Note 9 512GB Blue and then went on to submit trade-in order.

To get £575 off is really good. and it will be delivered on the 24th apparently.

I also did cashback site https://www.quidco.com/ cashback of £10

Its a waiting game now!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] thering1975:
Hi i did not order from there as i really make use of the dual sim, but yes apparently it does state £375 and that when they do trhe cashback you will then get the £575 paid back, to be fair if you screengrab it then your probably not going to face any issue
