    Samsung.com Pre-orders/Shipping Thread

    I ordered an unlocked Aura Blue Note 10+ 256GB on August 13 from Samsung, trading in a Note 9. I'm probably switching from Sprint to Verizon.

    Samsung.com Pre-orders/Shipping Thread

    Samsung just sent a FedEx tracking number indicating the 10+ is arriving 08/27 instead of 9/4. Yeah!

    Samsung.com Pre-orders/Shipping Thread

    I preordered an unlocked Aura Blue 10+ from Samsung on August 13 and have an estimated delivery date of September 4. I'm trading in a Note 9, which I have really enjoyed. I hope to use the $150 Samsung credit towards a Galaxy Watch Active 2 but I won't be surprised if they exclude that watch...

    Which video size do you use?

    I'm curious which video size other Note 8 users have selected: UHD QHD FHD (60 fps) FHD or another setting I tend to use UHD most of the time but FHD (60 fps) if I know I am going to recording something that is in motion. Most of my videos don't hit the ten minute recording limit for UHD, QHD...

    Battery stops charging around 90%.

    I posted the same issue. My phone will fully charge wirelessly but stops around 90% when charged through the USB. I considered returning the phone but I almost never charge with USB and setting up a new phone is such a hassell.

    The edge screen on the Note 8

    I traded an S8+ for a Note 8. I use the edge screen frequently and didn't notice a difference between the two phones.

    Favorite fitness apps?

    JEFIT is my favorite workout app because I can completely customize workouts.

    Do you use the Samsung Gallery app or Google Photos that came preloaded?

    I use Gallery because it allows me to adjust background blur, switch to wide view and I like the editing controls. I use Flickr for cloud photo storage and sharing. I don't usually use Google services.

    Note 8 charging issue

    It is the charger that came with the phone. I've tried it with a USB-C cable from another device with the same result.

    Note 8 charging issue

    I recently discovered while traveling out of town that my Note 8 will only charge to approximately 90% when connected to the fast charger that came with the phone. It took a couple of weeks for me to realize this because at home I always use wireless charging, which charges to 100%. I tried...

    App similar to iPhone X stage lighting

    My spouse has an iPhone 8 Plus and stage lighting is a neat effect. I'm not aware of an Android app that replicates it but I imagine someone, probably at Samsung, is working on one.

    What are your favourite accessories for the Note 8?

    I use Bose QuietComfort 35 headphones every day. I have a couple of different cases but my favorite is Spigen Ultra Hybrid. It isn't too bulky, has some drop protection and I use the kickstand.

    Sprint Upgrade Disaster!

    AT&T had the same the same thing where they said I could upgrade... for $189. I just switched from AT&T to Sprint and traded my S8+ for a Note 8. Sprint had a deal where I could lease the phone at half price, so I was going from 3GB data to unlimited, getting a Note 8 and paying less per month...
