There's also data partition, I wiped that. EFS I don't think there's an option to wipe it. USB otg is unmounted.

Yeah, data partition should be wiped too(wipes your data, be careful!). And internal storage too!

If I trade in S7 I will get the note 9 for $500 with 24 monthly bill credits.

My questions:

1. Can I pay off the note 9 few months later? (in case I want to sell it)

2. If I pay it off, will I have to pay $1000 or $500?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Ryano89:
I'm not positive, but. I think you can pay it off early. I'm just trying to figure out how to use my JUMP from a Note to get the 512gb version without putting 500 bucks down lol
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] rsacipher:
I believe you would pay off the remaining balance of the $500 plus any taxes. This would be the case if you still had payments on the old phone if you use Jump to upgrade.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] smashcz:
That's what I thought too (pay off only $500), but I was chatting with t-mobile rep and he said I would have to pay full $1000. I don't think he knew what he was talking about...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] rsacipher:
If I'm reading the materials correctly, they are giving you a $500 credit which leaves a balance of $499 plus tax for the $128gb version. If you had to pay the full $1k then they are making out on the deal since you gave them a phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] jmstansell:
From what I understand the $500 is in bill credits, so it wouldn't be just $500 off.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Ryano89:
It's bill credits, so you don't get the full $500 off until you make your 24th payment.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] chong67:
I find it amazing that I can get $500 for my Note 5. I am going to pre order tonight.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] oxmis:
I'll get it if it gets rooted and 100% battery

Am I the only one who thinks TMobile's pricing with the crazy down payment is ridiculous?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] rsacipher:
The math adds up, the Note 9 is that expensive.

---------- Post added at 09:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:26 PM ----------

Ah, I didn't see that. In that case you'll most likely have to pay off the entire $1,000.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Ryano89:
Except that no other carriers are requiring those down payments. I can pay it, I just don't think I want to when switching carriers will get me the phone with zero down. Hell, Sprint is offering it for no money down and 20 bucks a month.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] drmacrofish:
I hate t mobile and their bill credit deals. You really have to keep on top of them to make sure they give it to you and make sure they get your phone you turn in. I have waited months before to get this stuff straight in the past with other “deals.” This time I am ordering the unlocked version from Samsung instead. Screw t mobiles “bill credit” junk.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] jrapps:
I just did the preorder and got the $500 off for an old Note 5 (yay!) as bill credits, EIP comes to $9 a month. Down payment sucked, but for $9 a month I will suck it up.

My only issue is nowhere did it ask me to choose my preorder gift. How do I get my headphones or Fortnite pack?

Hi all :victory:

Samsung announced today their new beast the Samsung Galaxy Note 9. What do you think about this new device ? Are you considering to buy it ? Upgrade from your current device ? Tell us :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] netnerd:
i just received an email from samsung that i can preorder today, they said everyone else preorder start tomorrow.

hopefully i get it sooner than everyone.

i preordered Verzion version since i'm with Verizon prepaid.

i trade in my Note8 for 400$. that' a fair price, if you sell it yourself, you have to pay swappa fee, paypal fee, and shipping.

reason i want note9.

1. need something new to play with. haha

2. cpu and graphic is faster than note8

3. 128gb storage compare to 64gb on note8, but do i need it? i only used 30gb on my note8

4. bluetooth spen, hopefully i able to use it for selfie.

5. hopefully we can Quick Charge 4. qualcomm listed QC4.0, charge 15 minutes get 50% battery life !
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Virgo_Guy:
I'm buying it for sure. Till the official announcement, I wasn't considering it based on strong rumors of still being equipped with QC 2.0 and my personal taste on the not-so-usefulness of the S-Pen. But then, I made my mind to get it ASAP due to,

1. 4000 mAh battery.(little disappointing that it's still QC 2.0 only). I'm not so happy with the S9+'s batterylife.

2. S-Pen is pretty "dope" this time around- it's a remote controller for the camera, it's a pen, it can control streaming services from 30 feet away, can control apps, it's customizable, gets charged under 1 minute using supercapacitors inside....

3. AI integration on camera.

4. Water-carbon cooling system to prevent overheating and AI based performance adjuster.

5. Plenty of of RAM and flash Storage.

....

**Pixel 3 xl was in my mind but then after trustworthy leaks showing its design, I felt "NO". :p, it should be the Note 9 worth taking.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] mardukeme:
Was going to preorder it, but the have only the blue one, and purple one available only, wanted the black one. Also you get a free AKG wireless noise canceling headphones.

---------- Post added at 08:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:17 PM ----------

To me, if I am going to pay upwards of $1000 for a phone then it should be Flagship. To me that means the most up to date hardware and software. At least Android 8.1 would be acceptable but 8.0 just means that put a nice paint job on an old house.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] chong67:
I actually didnt want to get it, but my Note 5 is getting older and battery is not holding a long charge.

Plus Tmo can give me $500 for this old phone. I think I am going to pull the trigger.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] varcor:
I've found the more memory I have available, the more I'll use so 128 Gb may suit you well. Quick Charge is 2.0 for the Note 9 which is a bit disappointing but not a deal killer. I turned down Samsung's $400 trade in offer and sold my S8+ for a $100 more on a local Craigslist post., no fees or shipping required. Personally I feel the S9 Plus makes more sense unless you really use S Pen. The devices are very similar in hardware besides the bigger battery on Note 9, display size is very close but the big difference is price. New Note 9 - $1,000, New S9 Plus (128 Gb) - $664 for the device on ebay.

I pre ordered mine. Blue with 8 gigs and the 512 memory. I bought an S7 active on eBay for a $100 and will trade it in for $300. Just sold note 8 for over $500. Bought Whitestone Dome glass and S View case. Hurry up August 24th!!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] PsiPhiDan:
I'm doing something similar! Buying the S7 for $130(ish) and trading in for $500 through T-mobile! Where did you snag one for only $100?? I can't seem to beat $130.

I'm getting the $999 Note9 (Blue). Can't wait! I adore my Note 8 and the only thing that I wish was better was the battery life, so this phone should be PERFECT!

Nice pre-order deal here in Australia, on samsung’s site: 512GB model for the price of the 128 GB model, A$1499.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] KOLIOSIS:
It appears MST on a watch is a 1 & Done deal,so yeah,I'd hang on to it if you value this functionality.

I wouldn't count on it making a comeback,the fewer number of parts/features is appealing to the mfgs bottom line.

The trend started w/the Note4 (removable battery/SD Card Slot/I-R Blaster disappearing).

Only after backlash from the consumers was the SD Card slot brought back,so,unless that kind of movement gains steam,it's likely gone for good in the watches.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] MrAwesome75:
Yeah, that's doubtful. And it's one of the coolest things about the watch.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Ryland Johnson:
Took delivery of my black Note 9 yesterday. Very impressed with it. Took advantage of the exchange scheme and saved 500.00€ having handed over my Note 8.

I will write this. Having lived with the Note 8 for 12 months then changing to the Note 9 I most certainly notice numerous differences. The speed the 9 functions is most certainly noticeable. Though the 8 and the 9 look similar that is where the real similarities end.

The 9 is what the 8 should have been.

If the Note 10 is an advancement over the 9 its going to be very interesting to see what more Samsung can do with this line of mobile. The Note series are literally pocket PC's and amazingly accomplished providing one makes full use of the S-pen.

I had grave reservations about purchasing the Note 9 when I owned the Note 8. In 48 hours any doubts I had are history. The Note 7 knocked my socks off, the 9 took my shoes as well.

Got the phone 2 days ago from a pre-order. 500gb in Blue, Verizon. I find that the keyboard input needs more pressure than S9+ esp when typing.

From S9+, battery is def a big change. Fingerprint sensor is wicked fast. Not liking the Bixby 2.0 not being able to deactivate.

Speedwise, it is top shelf, so is 9+. Not a ton of diff that I notice. Camera has some lag, maybe it is just new.

I received my 128gb version on the 22nd and it's a nice incremental upgrade from the Note 8. Unfortunately we've gotten to the point where the wow factor isn't there anymore in phone designs.

The larger battery, S Pen remote and stereo speakers are nice but if I wasn't on T-mobile and wanted to take advantage of their low band spectrum and I didn't get a $500 credit for my old Note 5 I wouldn't have upgraded from the Note 8.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] KOLIOSIS:
I'm guessing this is a good number of us on T-Mobile.

I was fully prepared to wait until next year,until the trade-in credit was announced.

Since note 1 just one main problem: Never enough storage. It wil be the 512 GB Version with the 512 GB Card.

Not caring about design so much just a fan of technic.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Nastrahl:
Just for my information, why do you root your phones?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] chand9336:
just bought one :D
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] jellyfish949:
My actual reasons to root

1) Backup with titanium of my data. Many programms still use the internal memory for data. I need a possibility to backup/restore.

2) I want a adfree device (browser and apps). The programm I use modifies /etc/host

3) Deinstallation bloatware. Just deactivating does not sadisfy me.

4) Philosophical: Its a fully paid device so I want to do whatever pleases me.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] PsiPhiDan:
Just to play devil's advocate (not attacking here, just pointing out a few things):

1) If you are not rooting and tweaking, there is almost zero reason to backup things. I used to back things all the time, but that's because I was wiping my device constantly with tweaks/ROMs/etc. Have you ever actually needed your backup, beyond what copying your files to a PC can do for you?

2) There are several non-rooting adblockers that work well. I currently use "adZ Hosts DNS" (I believe it was from XDA Labs, actually). I've heard AdHell is good too. Also had some luck with Blokada in the past.

3) The apps like BK Package Disabler do an amazing job and I am not sure, other than mentally, if you really can tell the difference. It's gone from sight and its effect on the device.

4) Can't argue with that! :) I agree 100%, but it is what it is. I'd rather have this amazing phone and deal with #4 than not.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] jellyfish949:
To 1:

I am rooting and tweaking but that is a secondary reason for backup.

I backup mostly because I want to protect my data (docs, database files, edited photos, films, notes) several 10'000 files.

Backup goes of course to external devices. Either by otg cable or by wifi.

Yes I have used titanium restore more than once and it saved me a lot of work.

to 2:

Thank you for the names. I will try them all.

to 3:

I never tested a disabler.

I think the disabler blocks the app start while a correct deinstall deletes the apps files from the phone. I will look at "bk disabler" anyway

Sorry for eventually incorrect english. I am not a native english speaker.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Nastrahl:
1. I totally agree.

2. You can use AdHell3 with Knox firewall (only works when unrooted) to do that. For me it's a cleaner way than getting the hosts file big.

3. You can uninstall apps with a few ADB commands. It will still shows in the apps list as "uninstalled for the current user", but it's at least not a trick and you will be able to still hide them with AdHell3 by disabling them.

4. This is so true. It's a shame they are limiting our devices.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Billus:
Preorded this device as the 512gb version costs the same as the 128gb before release (in Australia). I'm upgrading from a Galaxy S6 with the primary reason being that the battery has degraded to a point I no longer get half a day out of it. Was looking at getting the Pixel 3XL but judging from recent leaks*, it just doesn't seem worth or justifiable to even bother waiting. The Pixel 2XL continues to retail for AU$1399. I got the Note9 512gb for AU$1499. Ripper of a deal if I may say so myself and costs just as much as the top spec Galaxy S9+.

Never been a big fan of Samsung's software and their lacklustre support (OS wise) but happy to give it another shot. I owned the original Note and was rather happy with the phone till I lost it. From memory, I didn't find much purpose for the S-pen but I'm sure they have made some welcome improvements to it.

To get a Note 9 or two same size but cheaper phones every two years? :)

What I don't like about cheap phones - they don't have any bells and whistles. For example OnePlus 5t or 6 are very boring almost pure Android phones.

And Samsung phones have decent email app, awesome calendar, side menus, multiwindow, spen, best cameras etc. and the list goes on. But it comes at a price. At 1-1.2k€ price to be precise.
