For me being the slab/heavy handed fool I can be; I like the all in one cases as they offer superb protection and for me, they don't spoil the phone or ruin the screen sensitivity... The. again, as already said, I'm heavy handed

Plus they give me the all round protection; front and rear

But; as lao said elsewhere, I liked the amFilm protector on my previous Note 8 and had zero issues swapping cases out, so will try that first and if it's not as good, I'll fall back on the I-Blason/Supcase case etc :)

Some folk complain that the screens scratch and discolour; I never had that issue, but then again, I'm not that fussy (I don't game or hold the phone at daft angles so you can see every issue etc)

It's all down to what you want/need etc

In the last I have bought these cases, warmed up the screen protector and removed it and then used a tempered glass protector with zero issues. Last phone I did that on was an S8 Plus; so might consider this again

There must've been a good take up at CPW as currently delivery is 7 sept. Either that or delayed!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] pigglett:
Same date if ordering off Samsung as well
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] jah:
So initial UK stock now sold. Not bad!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] danb1979:
I've no idea re delivery date via O2 Business; they just said when I ordered that they'll be delivered 24th August... No updates on my account either as of yet!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] bonerp:
....or delayed! :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] jah:
Well my cancelled Note 9 still says due to ship on the 23rd :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] gavinfabl:
I sent an email Sunday. Got a reply today and I can now check everything. I think it goes weird during the change to dispatch.

I also discovered Samsung are sending the phones via DPD !!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Bezbozny:
Is ithis a good thing or a bad thing?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] strikerdj2011:
same here told friday from 02
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] alfred_mcskee:
I've always found DPD to be very reliable and drivers very friendly and helpful.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dayzee:
I always like a DPD delivery.

Their app YourDPD is ace cos you can see where you are in the delivery chain and you get an hour slot. You can even see where the driver is on a map... :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] gavinfabl:
Extremely good.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] thering1975:
I agree DPD are the only one I don't fear. Now yodel..... That's a different matter lol
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] crazy88:
May have been mentioned, sorry if it has, but isn't that only for 512gb ocean blue? Just looked now and 128gb in all 3 colours still seems to be this Friday.

I ordered my 128gb ocean blue last Friday, and they have said it'll be there Friday. Let's see how it goes! I try not to get too excited, just in case ? but I'll be like a kid at Christmas, come Friday.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] nathlynn22:
Been wanting to get a new phone for ahwile but keep umming and ahhing. Looking at the ocean blue 512gb plus has the 8gb ram.

Sent from my ONEPLUS 5
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] eVoHicks:
Well if that's correct then I am pleased, last year with UK Mail was a complete shambles.

I have nothing but good things to say about DPD, the driver comes every couple of months with the dog/cat food and his time slots are bang on.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] crazy88:
I too ummd and ahhd for ages but opted for the 128gb. The extra storage isn't of use to me, so I was paying extra for just the ram. Figured I rarely stress the phone so I'm hoping 6gb will do me fine! Time will tell!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] danb1979:
Haha I agree

However I might only be able to set mine up over the weekend; if it gets delivered on Friday

So it might be a Saturday afternoon play; or Sunday afternoon set-up, whilst the roasts in the oven and I've got a bottle of Ardbeg Kelpie to crack open too, so might enjoy a dram or 2 whilst setting up the Note 9

But; first thing I'll be doing is putting the screen protector onto it so I don't mark the screen with my sandpaper like hands/finger tips!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] jah:
Charge initially to ensure enough Juice for updates and app installs. Do transfer in a cold room to keep battery Temp low, don't want to damage battery early in the life of the N9!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] danb1979:
Thanks; I'll do it as I do with any phone, sat at my desk whilst faffing :D

Never had any issues with any phone, including every one of the Note series bar the 7 ;)

Plus I'm not going to sit in a cold room; it'll kill the scotch! :silly:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Prototype89:
I want to migrate over my playlist, more specifically the play counts of the songs I have on Samsung Music Player from my Note 8 to Note 9. Does anyone know the sequence of events I should follow to ensure this works, as the data I think is on my memory card.

Is this the right process?

1. Leave memory card in N8

2. Connect N8 to N9

3. Run Samsung Smart Switch

4. Transfer everything

5. Then take out the memory card from N8

6. Move memory card to N9

or

1. Take out the memory card from N8

2. Move memory card to N9

2. Connect N8 to N9

3. Run Samsung Smart Switch

4. Transfer everything

Or will both processes fail?

Any advice?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] danb1979:
Exactly the same for me. 128GB memory plus SD card capability (I've got a 64GB card I'll install just for sh**s and giggles) and 6GB RAM is more than enough for a simple user like myself

I'd say only hardcore gamers and app users will require the 512GB version; unless they buy just for future selling reasons etc
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] alltaken123:
Those buying the 512GB option for 'future reasons' will no doubt be buying the Note 10 regardless :laugh:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] bonerp:
Yeah my 512 is friday but ordered it last week. They must be waiting on next stock refresh for 7th Sept.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] daddyo:
Sounds good but surely 1. Should be "sit in a cold room" ???
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] bonerp:
I don't think Smart switch copies anything to SD card. The tool does all that.

TBH I copy the music to SD (and it now lives there permanently) and I do a clean install restoring apps from google. No problems that way.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] mgbosshogg:
Opposite for me. I bought the 128GB as it only has to last me the maximum of one year. ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Prototype89:
Oh that's a shame. I quite enjoy building up my most played playlist on Samsung Music Player and it absolutely sucks having the play counts reset to zero every time I move to a new Samsung phone :(
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] gCloud:
It's an addiction, can't help it ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] keithxda27:
Me too ordered yesturday hopefully they be sent out Thursday for Friday delivery. It's being sent Next day delivery
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] @home:
I ordered direct from Samsung on the 9th August & have heard nothing at all about my order. Money taken though :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] alfred_mcskee:
Several US posters (as I'm sure a lot of you will already have seen) expecting and had delivery confirmation for tomorrow/Wednesday of their handsets. They definitely seem to get preferential treatment over there with extra pre-order goodies etc. Thanks Samsung! ?

P.S. First World problems I know! ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] thering1975:
Easy free advertising campaign if they do that in the US where again they dont have the largest market share, they know online publications will post something like "some luck owners receive their Note Pre Orders Early" kind of dross article, but its free publicity for them so why not
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] brockyneo:
Just pre ordered mine 128gb ocean blue from Samsung website but says the 7th September darn thats a long wait lol
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] gavinfabl:
512gb has more ram, and that is more important probably.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] danb1979:
Yes; it will/can be to those who may require it (gamers; heavy app users etc) as I said previously

But for every day use, 6GB of RAM in a mobile phone is more than sufficient

It's horses for courses, some folk want as much as they can get, others are happy with what they're using already and don't see a reason to shell out further for something that'll probably never really be used

:)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] alfred_mcskee:
Do you think if I hang an American flag outside my house, it might come early? ?? ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] gCloud:
If you are not doing trade-in then maybe consider selfridges the deliver on 25th.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] brockyneo:
I've just realise they have the black model in for 24th don't think they will change it do you and I've done the trade in for the iphone 8 plus lol

---------- Post added at 06:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:07 PM ----------

Also is the only difference between the 2 models is the memory and ram is that it no other difference and I don't even use 64gb so I think 128gb will be enough if that's the only difference
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] thering1975:
Can phone them and ask. No harm in trying

That's correct ram and storage the rest is the same
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] brockyneo:
Might do the missues has gone through quidco or something so she seems to think if I change it it will mess up her bonus or something
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] thering1975:
If your switching from 512 to 128 then yep they would probably cancel it I guess so would have to start from scratch
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] brockyneo:
Guess it's worth a try should affect the quidco thing hopefully lol
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] thering1975:
Thinking about it it may void the Quidco as they would have received the vaue from Samsung so could decline the tracking later down the line.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] brockyneo:
Hmmm might just wait then quite like the blue anyways do you think they may get them in before the 7th or is that date set in stone lol thanks

Btw loved your light roms on the original note ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] thering1975:
In fairness you never know with Samsung depends how quick they are getting stock to countries, you may get lucky.

And thanks, i thought i recognised ya name from the original roms thread, so much so i went back to that thread to check if it was you! lol but ya confirmed it so :good::good::good:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] brockyneo:
Lol thanks good old days when folks where more into rooting and flashing roms ect doesn't seem to be as big as it once was

Which version did you order if you don't mind me asking I was toying between the two but £200 extra for storage I would never use and 2gb ram which again I wouldn't use as I don't really do much multitasking I thought I'd save £200 considering there no other difference and get a whitestone dome protector and decent case lol
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] thering1975:
I know what ya mean, but imho no real need to root anymore lol and i dont have the patience in my old age to cook one up lol

I went for the 128gb black me self, i was toying with the 512gb because well why not, but then i realised i hardly use the space on my 64gb version fo ill still have 80-90 gb free on the new one. but i nearly flip flopped as i had a big ppi refund come in but Samsung had already locked in the order so instead i put that additional 200 towards a new hackintosh im building lol.

But i have so many external storage options i rarely utilise the onboard, most of my stuff is immediately synced to either google or my synology nas, so im cool with the 128gb
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] alltaken123:
Not long now folks. Soon we will be peeling the fresh plastic films and reading stories of broken screens.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] eVoHicks:
No not long, US will get theirs tomorrow, UK will be Friday, the forums will be silent until the questions arise lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] jah:
South Korea have also released early.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] mys3:
Any chance UK will get early delivery?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] eVoHicks:
Of course it's possible but I highly doubt it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] vadimo:
Question, will I be able to download Samsung note 8 default theme, the one with stars and stuff?

Also, I received my new Note 9 case and aligned it with my phone and all buttons on top seem to be on same level as note 8, what's up with reviewers whinging that Samsung raised buttons more?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] alltaken123:
Perhaps they have, and your case is based on a Note 8 design and a mistake in the description referenced the Note 9?!?! :p
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] vadimo:
Think it's a hybrid one, note 8 buttons arrangement with note 9 fingerprint arrangement

Don't do it. Very hit and miss. CS emails can take upwards of 7 days for a response, if you get one at all. If order not received they ignore and it takes a claim (paypal), even then they play dirty.

Have you checked out the CPW trade in deal? Extra £200 and they take the value off the order there and then (in store) and delivery Friday. Free wireless charger too.

For those who ordered blue with yellow pen, I red one review that screen off write is in yellow but then it saves it to s note and hard to read against white background, the curse of the yellow pen?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] alltaken123:
If you look at the XDA forum discussion of that article the consensus was that the yellow looks bright and is perfectly visible.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Bigmille:
I saw a YouTube video, showing you can toogle off the ink linked to pen colour option in s pen settings. Then it will write in white on black off screen and converter to black text on white background in s note.

I've received my tracking details from CPW that state I received my device in December 2017!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This phone is incredible as it time travels.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] alfred_mcskee:
I've seen that toggle too. Simple solution to those it bothers.

I'm no programmer or dev, but what I don't understand is that the screen off memo basically converts a black page with white writing to a white page with black writing once you unlock the phone; so why can't they convert other colours to black ink?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dayzee:
Wait, you have tracking from CPW!!! :highfive: I have received my Trade In Envelope - thats it. :) I shall keep my fingers crossed for tracking soon, tho I'll be surprised if I get my phone before Friday, and truly gutted if its after....

Daiz x

CPW dpd tracking email received but no tracking data as yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] daddyo:
Same here. Only problem is I'm on holiday until the 31st ? I entered a delayed delivery when I ordered but it looks like cpw ignored that bit! Maybe because it was a pre-order ? I now need dpd to hold it for 1 week ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] crazy88:
When did you order the phone? I'm hoping my trade in envelope arrives soon as I go away next week, and may fall outside the 7 day window for trade in, if the envelope doesn't arrive by saturday! I'm at work now, so it may have been delivered already, but no idea yet.

I ordered my phone last Friday 17th

Yeah but crimbo is Friday for me, new phone day is always more exciting than crimbo and besides we have the following threads to look forward to which crop up after every release:

The, I received it 10 minutes ago and the battery life is **** thread

The, How come you got it before me threads, i ordered on the .....

The OMG DPD is only 24 minutes away from me thread... (thats normally started by me mind lol)

Immediately upon unboxing the ... Are you getting the note 10 thread?

And the Do you think we will get Android Pie by the end of sept thread followed by

Im never buying a samsung phone again thread, well not until next year

Its like xda tradition has taken over the crimbo tradition for me, makes me chuckle to see rinse and repeat

And for anyone who has opened one of the threads poreviously, im jesting

</S> :D:D:good:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] crazy88:
Proper just laughed at all of those! They're so true to xda!!!

As for Christmas, I actually agree. New phone day is always so exciting for me too. Better than my first time ??

I'm licking mine up in store, and hoping they have them in early so I can pop out of work and pick it up asap
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] thering1975:
Okay, thats a tradition of have not tried, what exactly is phone licking?:laugh::laugh::laugh::D

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] thering1975:
Yeah same as last year it was still showing as preparing dispatch on release day even though DPD sent me the details that it was on the Van, adds to the fun though.

And for those who suffer tech anxiety, this year we can add in BANK HOLIDAY into the will it arrive mix, will you be the lucky one who has a driver whom takes pride in delivering all their parcels before going back to base, or will you get the driver who at 12pm decides everyone elses parcels still in the Van, and you get the you were not in and will have to rearrange delivery email

Phone day lottery people is nearly upon us, and i cannot wait:good:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] crazy88:
?? Yeah, me too. Totally for educational purposes...honest

I'm almost a little jealous of all you with tracking details. I won't get anything like that. I just ring CPW on Friday am to check it's in stock and I go

Hmmmmmm :confused::confused: not sure i wanna ask why lol, however on me mac i gotta hit 3 keys lol, so im gonna get mac refresh cramp syndrome on Fri ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] thering1975:
But you have one advantage, yours will likely be in store tomorrow ready for sale on friday, so if ya swift you could phone up tomorrow and ask if they have arrived, and the chances are they will release it, use the i spoke to someone who said i should phone thursday as if they arrive i can pick mine up as for <insert reason here - Going away friday for the weekend or your a dpd delivery driver and will not be able to pick up until midday when you decided enough is enough lol>

Lack of pre-order gifts are strange unless they are waiting to see demand over next week and then if it’s poor they’ll throw the goodies in as well to tempt people
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] thering1975:
Very possible, i remember when they announced the 7 in the first week there was no 0% paypal, then it appeared out of the blue for about a week, i think demand will be slower for this one as to be honest many will not see the value above a N8 so it may work in the consumers favour as give it a week and i thiunk they will bolster it with some offers
