Was on the phone to them to after the guy on the chat said I hadn't any order on my account. The guy on the phone said my order was there and didn't understand why the online chat said there wasn't. Anyway he wasn't able to give me and tracking number etc as they haven't left the warehouse as of yet and once they leave the warehouse we will get a text etc with tracking etc etc so it's not looking likely for me here in Northern Ireland for delivery tomorrow as I expected and the bank holiday dosent help so I'll come to terms with just having to wait :( Just hope I get a text tomorrow at least.

Have a google used to be a list of cases working for note 8 should be 1 getting made for note 9

Found this

https://www.mobilefun.co.uk/samsung/galaxy-note-9/cases/whitestone-dome-compatible

Led case is there so hopefully ok
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] gavinfabl:
Well I’m not sure what Samsung UK has dispatched. It’s looking likely I’ll have my yellow S-Pen tomorrow and not much else. I did separate orders for the accessories and the device.

Edit. Just got another email. Phone is in its way. DPD tracking number isn’t recognised at the moment.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] danb1979:
Mobilefun are bloody extortionate re their prices, at least £10 or more on top of what Amazon charges... no idea how they get business really!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] pigglett:
I got my LED case for Note 9 from there 9 over a week ago for £49(free del) it was £59 on Amazon at the time
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] jbaggs:
Are those that ordered from CPW that have got tracking on monthly contract? Anyone that ordered simfree had tracking?

Haven’t heard a jot from them since I went to the store to preorder. Live chat says I’ll definitely get a text tomorrow with tracking details but just wondering why others have had tracking already!?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] bonerp:
Got mine from mytrendyphone for £39

Gosh, it's been years since I've posted.

CPW called at 1949 and asked me to call back (missed the call). Return call and office closed.

Hopefully they are not trying to tell me that they don't have a 512GB Blue to collect until the 7th of September (not that I can visit the store until the next Friday).

Did any other CPW store lectin customer receive a call?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] jah:
Typical, as I thought I would get delivery today, I said yes to be at work tomorrow!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] mark118:
sorry could be bad news, had a call about 6pm saying my blue 512 is delayed till 7th September at the worst. Was told i get a £25 voucher or something and the £200 bonus on trade in will still be valid. i ordered the phone august 12th
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] gavinfabl:
Could be your bank declined the transaction. Fraud protection stuff.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] crazy88:
I had that on mine, but that was the day I ordered it. Resolved it that night (rarely use my credit card so think the bank probably did the right thing in hindsight, but was an inconvenience)

Mine is 128gb blue. Should arrive at the cpw shop tomorrow all being well.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dayzee:
Mine is a CPW order, SIM free and got my tracking and dpd notification.

Will be here later today (I should be sleeping and saving my energy for my new tech !)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] vadimo:
the only thing not looking forward to it the new finger print position, its lower so most likely i will have to bend the finger to reach it where is currently with note 8 i just stretch it out and place it on the sensor, natural!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] thering1975:
OOOOo Crimbo day is here, was up at 6am ready you know incase dpd fancied an early route.

But they didnt so i ate all the mince pies.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] neildo:
With a total potential trade in value of £575 for my Note8 I decided to go with CPW.

However, have a look at my order details - the free Samsung wireless charger is listed as £1039. I bought 512gb outright with a Vodafone 1 month sim which included the free Samsung wireless charger.

Friday 24th, 0751hrs nothing yet from DPD, only a dispatch email from CPW.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] thering1975:
Geez, i hope that can charge ya electric car as well at that price! lol, i presume its an error on their part which is path of the course with anything to do with the dixons retail group
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] tomj777:
So... The CPW call was to advise me that I'm in the same boat as [MENTION=5534442]mark118[/MENTION] ... Despite in store assurance at time of purchase, they do not have the Blue 512GB ready for collection today and I have to wait until Friday the 7th of September and will be allocated a £25 voucher.

It is as it is (sniff)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] mark118:
Yesterday I was a bit calm about it as I was tired from work, but now I have slept on it, it is totally unacceptable. They have taken over £1000 and lied to us and it's only a phone but it has ruined my plans for the weekend. I am trying to collect the phone from somewhere else today but it is highly unlikely unless I go for black. If I ask for a refund the money will probably take a few days to come back from cpw but they were happy to take it from me right away
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] eVoHicks:
That's annoying, seems as though they have kept taking in orders and promising the phone on launch day but not looking at store allocation!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] alfred_mcskee:
Same here, the real countdown begins... ???
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] alltaken123:
Got my delivery time slot. Soon I will be able to join in the asymmetrical camera and light bleed threads - happy days!!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] tomj777:
From memory, this isn't the first time with a phone launch.

I was mindful of that when purchased - hence the assurance sought.

I'm also mindful that CPW middle management were likely to have obscured any delay / absence of physical stock from their store managers and store staff and thus won't berate the folks retail shops.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] bonerp:
Have they just run short of the 512? Maybe they just didn't receive the expect allocation. Mine arrived yesterday from cpw via dpd.

Anyone confirm is it just the phone ghat needs returning for trade in?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] jah:
I had the same and now the Note 9 is with DPD for delivery today.

It's no big deal, just a little frustrating, but got straight through to their CS and refund issued. Just human error with the labelling, it happens I guess.

I know my delivery driver and he'll keep it safe and get it to me within the hour window I've now got, so will still have it today.

Android auto the assitant does not recognise any music instruction i.e play music etc she just apologies (worked fine on the 8)

And the usb-c port seems a little more loose than the 8, a slight touch of the cable in android auto mode and it disconnects, plugged the 8 back into the same cable and it does not disconnect (seems more room around the connector than the actuall pins part

IMO its best to get the SIM in from the start, so it does all the network settings stuff in the background and then use Samsung Smart Switch and connect both phones via the USB cable etc :)

Did this with my Pixel 2XL and it was all moved across in around 5mins and has taken a few hours to get it all sorted/updated, software updated etc

Tempered glass screen protector fitted and case fitted before I switched the phone on though ;) Just personal preference!

Holife one via Amazon UK; around £20 IIRC

EDIT: £14! https://www.amazon.co.uk/Holife-Wir...ast+Wireless+Charger&psc=1&smid=AHR3W3SC2KMCX

Hi there guys got my phone this morning n been setting it n well making it my own. Have to get back use to using android again after coming off iOS.

Need your help though as I said been a while since iv used android hooe you guys can help and bring me up to speed. Am with Barclays bank and to my surprise neither do Google pay or Samsung pay support Barclays contactless pay service so I had to resort to Barclays mobile app in order to set my card up which I have done. Now though the NFC banking sign is on my status bar constantly tried clearing it tried switching of NFC but it's still there if anybody can help will appreciate it.

Also planning on getting the Samsung watch wanted to ask someone here that uses Barclays banking and has set it up on their android and who has the smart watch too does it allow contactless via ur watch h even though not using Samsung or Google pay

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] alfred_mcskee:
Can't speak to the watch functions, but whenever I've used Barclays Contactless through their app, the logo is locked to the notification bar unfortunately; though as you point out, you don't need to toggle NFC on as the app does it automatically for you.

I'm no modder, but if it bothers you that much, maybe System UI Tuner could remedy the issue...?
