    Samsung: Galaxy Note 9 Pre-Order Thread

    Tracking numbers are assigned before the label is even put on a case. They did a batch import of addresses into the FedEx software and once the shipment was assigned a tracking number, it shows up on your FedEx account. It may not even show movement tomorrow, but FedEx will internally move the...

    I'd love to see that neighbor nailed by Yale Hadderity. He does a local segment called Scams and Flams.

    Samsung: Galaxy Note 9 Pre-Order Thread

    Not gonna argue about missing out on a freebie, but it's good to keep in mind that "worth" is very relative... Something is only "worth" what another person would pay for it, and once these (free) headphones start flooding the market, prices will drop quickly. Something is always better than...

    Also, if you sign up for a FedEx account (free), then you can see any and all FedEx packages that are in transit to your home address.

    Samsung is requiring an "Indirect Signature": This is the policy for any FedEx package with that requirement. Should be fine with any paper note left, but here is the official door tag - https://techblog.willshouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/printable-fedex-door-tag.jpg

    A glitter bomb is an awful thing to send to someone and you should not send a glitter bomb that could possibly be intercepted by your neighbor.

    That may work after three attempts, but you may want to verify your advice with FedEx.

    Agreed, but I also asked if I could sign the door tag, take it with me, and pick up at their hub on Thursday, they said "No, the signed tag is only valid for their second (or third) attempt and it is not valid to change the shipping address to a pickup".

    Yeah, Samsung locked down any changes to the delivery (address, hold, signature). I spoke with my local hub and they said I could leave a signed note on my door authorizing leaving the phone on my porch if no one is home and the driver will leave it at the first attempt, as opposed to him...

    Same here! Looks like I can't reroute to my work address, so digging in to see if I can change to a lunchtime pickup close to work, as long as I can still p/u on Wednesday...

    Ordered a 512 blue on 8/10 (with a pre-order reservation), option to cancel is gone (still shows "Pre-order"), headphones show "In Process".

    Screen won't rotate when I turn phone horizontally

    If you swipe down from the notification shade with two fingers, is there an icon/switch for "Auto-Rotation"?

    Can't select all messages within a conversation.

    If you want to delete all messages in the thread, how about deleting the whole thread from the text message app main screen? Just long-press that conversation/contact until it's selected and press delete or trash can.

    Unreadable contact list

    It sounds like you may need to change your theme. Settings>then type "theme" into the search bar on top>Select Wallpaper and Themes>Select Themes and choose a new one - you can touch the 3 dots in the top corner to search, I prefer Material Dark, but ymmv. Good luck!
