[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] ljg600:
I traded in my Note 8 as part of the deal to get the S10+. I think the S10+ is a great phone- though a bit overhyped by reviewers. The Note 8 trade in value was generous.

My question is- how long does it take Samsung to assess the trade in? My Note 8 was in excellent condition, but Samsung's criteria for acceptance under terms and conditions is broad. I would prefer returning the S10 if they don't accept my trade in. Samsung support was all over the place on this- anywhere from a few days to a few months.

My Note 8 is was already received by Ingram Micro/Samsung for processing.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] Tel864:
Not from experience but from talking to people that have done the trade it is all over the place. I know one person that took almost a month and one that got the phone back because they said it was cracked, which it was but apparently after he shipped it or Samsung received it. I've seen reports where people said it was a slow process. Because of the hype and how slow they shipped, I would guess that the trade inspection will be slow also.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] jimsey:
Samsung UK site says they will make a decision on the condition of your return and notify you within 10 days.

I've traded in a pristine s9+ for an s10+, I took a 5 minute video showing the device from every angle before putting it in the sealed return bag -

i also traded in my wifes s7 edge for an s10e, given it was 3 years old the s7 did show some signs of wear and tear.

5.2 of the trade in terms conditions says

It must only have normal wear and tear - there must be no damage or blemishes to

screen/LCD and the casing around the device including the camera lens must not be

cracked. No level of liquid damage is acceptable

I think this is bit contradictory on one hand it can show normal wear and tear, on the other hand it must have no damage or blemishes ! (this could easily be argued as an unreasonable contract term)

If i dont get offered the full trade in value then the s10 will be going back, will just have to wait and see.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] dansan382:
I did the exact same thing - took a nice 4k video of me using the phone, front and back of it along with the about phone screen showing the serial #. I'm dropping mine off to FedEx today to be sent back.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] iteam:
Same here, took 3 different vid's of every aspect of the phone and factory reset and turning it on and off. My S9+ does NOT have 1 tiny mark on it! Packed it like nobody's business!!! Better than anything I've ever received, especially Samsung lol. If they try to screw me they are gonna have issues with me freezing my Samsung card and fixing the entire situation!!!!!
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] Tel864:
Did they email you a shipping label?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] dansan382:
Yup. after your order arrives they will email your a return FedEx label. I just sent the phone back in the same box that it arrived in.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] galaxys:
I have the shipping label and will also be taking pictures...
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] Tel864:
Good ideas. I'll be packing mine up this weekend hopefully and I'll be sure to video the heck out of it.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] Outbreak444:
I signed up for the trade in but ended up selling my S8+ instead. The terms, as stated above, made me worry so I sold it right after getting my S10+. I had a few small dots on the chassis where there was shiny metal showing, mostly on the bottom and sides of the phone. I must have had some sand or something get into my case because I barely ever removed it and all the dots were covered by my case. The S8+ sells around me for just as much as Samsung offered ($300) so I got what they will charge me for in a few days I guess.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] bricky23:
Samsung received my trade in on Wednesday. Waiting for an email from them. Perfect condition s9+
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] dslisfree:
I mailed my trade in iPhone 8 in to the Fort Worth center and they received it on Monday. Today (2am Thursday) I received an email saying that everything is good.

"We’re happy to inform you that your Trade-In was successful and your device met all of the eligibility requirements."
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] caddzooks:
Does anyone know what their policy is regarding screen burn-in? I am waiting for an S10 which I'm upgrading from an S9, which has a mild case of screen burn-in. It is barely noticeable and is only visible when the background is white. It's basically a ghost of a few home screen icons at the bottom of the screen.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] jimsey:
just received confirmation that my switch has completed ok s9+ to s10+, i posted it 4 days ago.

Not heard re my s7 trade in yet and that's the one I'm worried about because it definitely showed signs of wear and tear, no cracks, but a few light scuffs to the screen and back glass
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] ariendj:
Successful Trade In

Phone: Note 8 ATT unlocked

Condition: Had scratches on screen. No cracks on screen or rear camera housing. Light scuff on sides.

Date send: March 7

Date received: March 12

Trade in Result: March 20
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] Tel864:
I've wondered about scratches. They say normal wear and tear and only specifically mention cracks. My trade is being delivered today and I was hoping for a little better than 8 days.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] npthaiduong:
They got my S8 on March 8, but I haven't received any confirmation from Samsung regarding the status of my trade-in at all :(
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] bricky23:
They received my s9+ on the 13th. Still waiting for word from them
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] Tel864:
Since Samsung isn't even handling the trade-in at all, I wonder how Ingram Micro and Samsung handle the inspections. I'm guessing Ingram Micro does the inspections on so many phones and then sends a report to Samsung on a weekly basis. I'll bet they have a ton of phones waiting on inspection.

EDIT: I noticed that my replacement has been delivered and that changed something on my order. The note over on the right about if you don't want to trade don't send the trade-in has disappeared. That was there on my order until the trade was delivered today.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] npthaiduong:
Update: I just received an email today from Samsung said my trade-in was successful. My S8 has a quite significant dent on the top right of the body when I dropped the phone. Also the screen has a severe problem with the pink line (half of the screen is tinted with pink color). With all of that problem, I was surprised that my trade-win got through without a single hiccup.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] galaxys:
Glad you got lucky... ?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] Tel864:
That makes me feel better. I had a tiny, scratch on the top left of the screen and I've been worried about it.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] dansan382:
Ingram Micro received mine on 3/19 - no word yet but im not surprised, figured its way too soon.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] craftycarper1:
All this makes me feel better about trading my S8+ with screen burn to the top 1/4 of the screen, normal wear and tear i would say seeing it is a common problem on them.

Still not had my return pack yet but got a reminder email this afternoon, so chose the option of them sending another return pack.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] kezzuki:
I got the s10e throught the tradin deal here in Camada.I sent out my trade in phone near the release date March 8th and the webpage shows no update till now.

So i emailed them. Apparently once their partner in canada receives the phone, they send the phone again to a US tradein partner...and they said it will be 4 - 6 weeks after the canadian partner receives it....wow
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] Tel864:
That seems to be an awful and roundabout way of doing it but I guess all of it is being handled in the US but they can't have you shipping it directly to the US.... for whatever reason. Still, if a phone is rejected and you wanted return your phone because of that, there's no way you could because of the trade in time.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] ljg600:
My tradein of the Note 8 was accepted 4 days after Samsung received the phone. Fairly impressive turnaround.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] vboyz103:
Have not received any updates from them and had been 10 days since they received my Note 9.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] bricky23:

Yea, but the rest of us can't afford to wrap a $50 bill around the phone. ????

I started the thread- and I provided honest feedback. If you are implying I am somehow paid by Samsung- then you are deluded.

[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] mdiaz33685:
I was also afraid of hearing people saying that Samsung screwed them over, I did the trade in of my note 8, in excellent condition, always had screen and phone protection,

I got my phone in on March 6, sent my Note 8 2 days later, took almost a week for delivery March 14 they received it, and on Friday I got the Full $550 for my phone,

I bought my Note 8 in Oct 2017 release month, on Ebay when they sell the buy 1 get 1 free, I actually paid 650.

So I think I scored just fine.

I purchased the white ceramic S10 Plus. For 699 plus tax, about $760.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] elbee222:
FYI, Samsung's vendor received my S9 (immaculate condition) on March 14. On March 26 I received the "Your Samsung Trade-In was successful" email.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] vboyz103:
Finally, got my successful trade-in email today.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] dansan382:
Going on a full week of them having my mint S8+. I normally wouldn't worry about them taking their sweet time but it is holding them up sending my wife's S10 that she's doing a trade in on as well. They only allow 1 trade in at a time so her order has been on hold this whole time.

Update:

Received email from Samsung this morning my trade in was fully accepted. My wifes order is now processing and hopefully shipping soon. They received it on 3/19.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] Fastf1:
Just receive my confirmation that my note 8 trade in was accepted. It took exactly 2 weeks from the day I mailed it in. Mine had a few scratches in the front and back, so if your phone was clean then don’t sweat it

[Samsung Galaxy A8+ (2018) Questions & Answers] eschoco27:
Good day all! I was recently given an A8+ 2018 with a A730FXXU3BRK3 variant model. The last update was the one with November 2018 Security patch and whenever i try to check for updates online it says im on the latest. I know there's a Dec-Jan update. Help guys im lagging behind, i may not also get the Android Pie update :(
[Samsung Galaxy A8+ (2018) Questions & Answers] mchlbenner:
First thing Android pie update will takes months to get it.

They seem to do Russia first to test so be patient it going to take a while to get it.

Samsung is going to be slow on this one.
[Samsung Galaxy A8+ (2018) Questions & Answers] eschoco27:
Just to clarify, does A8+ have a Dec-Jan security patch update? Because i badly need that. I've been hitting the check update option on settings and it says I'm on the latest which is November.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] ChriKn:
I have had the Pixel 2 XL for a bit over a year now. Allready swapped it 2 times (Audio problems and Screen Problems) and begin to get annoyed by some aspects of it :

- The 3D-Wrapped-***-screen - This screen is bad. I slowly get used to it but find myself put off by how the colors look and how my 6P had a better screen. Thanks to the absurd 2.75D Screen curvature I cant get a proper Glass cover for it and have settled on a plastic protector. It looks horrible.

- Software bugs -> How come I still get random bugs / freezes on a Google Phone with Google software ? Why do icons sometimes disappear in the recents view ?

- Sound -> I loved the stereo speakers on the 6P, I hate those on the 2XL.

And many other gripes...

I have two choices right now :

- continue to RMA the phone each time something breaks (speakers are at it again I believe) and finaly get my money back after 4-5 times, like the 6P in the end (not a bad deal if you think about it).

- sell it and get somethign else (OnePlus 6 / 6T ? Pocophone F1 ? Mi 9 ? Other ?)

What are the aspects you hate on this phone ? Which one has you drooling right now ? Is there even still a phone with a flat screen (realy dont get this idiotic trend... same as glass backs without NFC / Wireless charging...)

Cheers !
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] BabelHuber:
I don't have software bugs on my Pixel 2 XL - no freezes, no disappearing icons, nothing. Works like a clockwork :good:

My speakers are decent, also no problems. I don't use them extensively, though. The screen is better after I had to replace it (dropped the phone on solid tiles), my original screen was from October 2017. But the original one was not too bad, I got used to it.

I never would replace my phone with a non-Google phone - never had such good software on an Android device. Not to speak of fast updates, some phones just got Android P and I can install Q meanwhile.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] von_block:
Remove that screen protector!

A few scratch still look 10000 times better than any screen protector
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] nikhil.agrawal:
Samsung 10e seems to be phone for you if you are looking for one with a flat screen. Oneplus 6t is a good option too but doesn't have wireless charging and camera is mediocre compared to pixel.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Teio:
If S10's camera is anything like the S9, then it's not much better than the 6t... It's amazing for videos, but for stills, nothing beats the Pixel (2 and 3)... This is coming from a photographer...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] nikhil.agrawal:
Yeah I'm aware of that. Pixel produces the most natural looking pictures.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] djcrystals:
It's a REALLY tough decision, in my opinion. I've been debating the same thing for a couple weeks now too. My big thing is front facing speakers, an absolute must for me. I've seriously considered the Razer 2 but I've recently decided against it. I have the opportunity to get a Pixel 3XL for next to nothing. I'll probably hop on that train. I love this phone too. I'm just ready to move on. My wife just got the S10+.... that's what's motivating me to upgrade. Beautiful phone but I need more freedom than what a Snapdragon Sammy provides...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] seabro01:
I don't hate anything about the 2xl. The screen did have some issues but everything has been perfect with the warranty replacement I received last November. A headphone jack would be nice but not a deal breaker with the improvements in wireless earbuds. The front speakers weren't any better on my 6P and it felt like a less reliable phone due to potential battery and bootloop issues. I prefer the overall design and build quality of the 2xl. I'll wait for the Pixel 4 before I think about a new phone.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] bigmatt503:
This sums up my situation perfectly. My 2xl is working fantastic and no current phones really give me that special feeling. Patiently waiting for pixel 4xl
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] EeZeEpEe:
1. Never used a screen protector since I got the phone October 2017. Thought I would miss it since I had been using tempered glass for years but I don't and my screen is just fine.

2. No bugs or freezes here. The only time I ever even restart is the monthly updates. Way better aging experience than my previous Nexus 5X or any other phone as a matter of fact.

3. It's stereo speakers and gets loud and clear enough. If I want louder I cast it to my any number of speaker I have around the house.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Curiousn00b:
Like the above post, same feelings here.

The screen protector dilemma is my biggest issue. Searching Amazon, it's hard to find a good one. I really don't want to purchase another one, so I've been rocking the same screen protector for quite some time, even though it's dirty. I don't watch anything on here worth quality(Netflix, Hulu, etc) and mainly use Bluetooth headphones or Bluetooth speakers.

Just recently, my father has gotten an S10 through those buy 1 and get 1 deals, but it's too complicated for him, so I've been thinking of setting my Pixel up clean for him and swapping, but it's just hard to leave Google after being with them for so long, lol.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] ludz63:
Before i ordered the pixel 2 xl, i read its review on gsmarena and this was quoted " overall, we're looking at some of the best audio outputs we've ever seen. " After purchase, i started seeing all sorts of negative reviews concerning it's audio quality using wired headphones.

On one hand, i am filled with excitement that i will be owning this great phone and on the other , i am confused, saying to myself, what have you just done?

As real owners of this device, i felt that this is the right place to be. Please can someone speak his mind? Thanks.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Rajaasim1980:
I come back to pixel for three things

1) camera 2) software which is best among android 3) speedy update s

I hate or dislike few things

)Ear piece is of poor quality i.e low volume and call clarity is average ..it was so great on iphone xr

2) loudspeaker is not good as compare to competitors i.e s9 plus, iphone , U11 etc, p20 pro etc. Its same for audio output from headphone. I will not recommend this phone to music lovers

3) brightness is low . You really need to drag the brightness slider to maximum to make it bright especially indoor

4) design is boring but then its more practical

So i guess every phone will have its pros and cons and no phone will be perfect in every thing . I am saying this after using so many flagships and switching from one to others ..there will be always some compromise so just look what matter to you most in phone and then select phone based on those requirements
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] djpsycho666:
which version of magisk works on this rom without stuck to twrp again?

i've tried 16.4,16.7,18.0,18.1 all of them doesnt work and kept sending back to twrp after i flashed it...

i need root access to backup and restore imei...
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] tsongming:
All of them work, your issue is encrypted data.

So remove it, then you can install Magisk 18.1 which has built DM-Verity, ForceEncrypt

Other than formatting your data,

You can first try flashing SuperSu >>> once you have established that you have working root via SuperSu >>> remove it by using the SuperSu removal file.

Next, reflash the boot.img that you will extract form the Rom's zip file ( simply unpack the file and grab it. )

Flash boot.img to boot, then flash Magisk 18.1 > Success!

[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] brimhaynes:
Hi All,

Two days ago I knew nothing of rooting,S-OFF,RUUs etc, but now I know 0.1% more than that

so please forgive any mistakes.

I bought a new HTC 10 one from ebay (Hong Kong) and tried to update from Android 7 to 8 but got

“Can not update software: There was an unexpected error and the file system may be corrupted. Please contact HTC support for future assistance.”

The seller just said well don't update it then, which wasn't very helpful.

All I have done so far is to unlock it via the htcdev site and that worked ok.

It is still S-ON. (Which I think is fine for a stock reflash).

So it seems I need to flash either:

1 - Android 7 to remove the corruption and then update to 8 over tha air as usual.

2 - Just Flash Stock Android 8.

3 - Flash some rooted variant of Android 8 (but I'd rather stay stock if possible).

I've been researching like crazy but it's all very confusing, I think the 401 in the version

means GSM international, but I'm not sure if I can install a Europe version (I'm in the United Kingdom)

and will the radio stop working if I don't?. If I install anyhing other than International will it brick it?

Looking at the stock RUU page it seems to be android 6 only as far as I can tell.

If at all possible I would like to flash via RUU to keep it simple for me, As I understand it

that just runs a windows exe without any other steps I might get wrong.

I'd really appreciate some advice here on how to get my device back to an uncorrupted 7, or 8.

Here's some info from my phone:

Delete your imei and serial ! Second, please post questions in the Q&A next time ;)

I know what to do just wait, I will update this post with information in a short while.

Edit :

Download this : https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=817550096634797504

Rename to 2PS6IMG.zip and copy it to the root of your sdcard. Boot to download mode and it will be automatically detected and you need to press the volume button and power button to confirm to flash it. The instructions will be on your screen so just follow that and it should flash correctly according to your given info.

After a successful flash you reboot and enter the OS and update to oreo (3.16.401)
