    S7 Smoked while charging

    So my year old S7 started to smoke while charging. Fortunately I was next to it and smelled it before it got worse. So I called Samsung and they're willing to take it and attempt to to repair it even though it's out of warranty. If they can't fix it then they're keeping it and will discuss...

    Who's using an SD card?

    I got the promotional 256gb card with the Note7 and another promotional 256gb card when I got the Note8. I don't think it's a necessity for me but having the option to expand the device's memory space is definitely a big reason for using Android/Samsung/Note8.

    No seal or plastic wrap on new Note 8 box?

    It is weird the Note8 box wasn't sealed.. The wireless charger and Dex I got for my Note8 was sealed..

    Have you now sworn off pre-orders?

    Other than Samsung sending out tracking numbers 2 days too early I had a smooth experience. Got my phone sooner than expected and definitely enjoyed the extra days with the device. I was coming from the Nexus 6P. I also really enjoyed using the device before official release date. Noone noticed...

    Unlocked Note 8 or AT&T carrier one from AT&T?

    No bloatware was a big reason why I chose the Unlocked version

    Note 8 thin case with kickstand

    I'm waiting for my Spigen Ultra Hybrid S to come in but I've heard some cases with magnetic kickstands can cause a deadspot when using the S-Pen. Be cautions of this. Check out this forum https://forums.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-note-8/832420-dead-spot-screen.html#post5971369

    Love this feature. It's the last feature when you're adding or editing an alarm.

    IMEI numbers/prior to official street release

    OMG!! I experienced the same issue.. I'm using the unlocked Note8 on AT&T. I've been searching the forums for a solution since Thursday... I had multiple chats with reps but they kept making it worse. I just visited a corp store today and they did the same dummy IMEI trick.. It works but I don't...

    Samsung (direct from them): Note 8 Pre-Order Thread

    Just got my Note 8!!! I ordered through the Note7 promotion but I didn't get a package to send my trade in device in..? Weren't they supposed to send something to send in my trade in device? Thanks!

    Samsung freebies, which did you choose and how did you submit it?

    Just got my device! Ordered from Samsung directly taking advantage of the Note7 promotion. I opted for the wireless charger and SD card. Everything came when my device came. No need to send in anything else. I got a 256gig card instead of the 128 as advertised!

    Samsung (direct from them): Note 8 Pre-Order Thread

    Your logic makes sense but the fine print says the minimum deduction you'll receive for a trade in is $25.
