    Gear 360 camera

    I got mine yesterday. Mine would also not turn on at first, but the instructions say it must be charged before it will turn on. I'm guessing they ship them out with 0% battery? Also, I could not get it to charge with any of my Samsung fast charge bricks - I had to use an older non-fast...

    BestBuy: Galaxy Note 8 Pre-Order Thread

    I asked this last week, but I wanted to see if anyone has received instructions yet on how to return their S8/S8+/S7 etc. to Verizon if they upgraded early through BB? One poster last week said I should receive an email from BB with a label, but I've gotten nothing thus far (checking both inbox...

    BestBuy: Galaxy Note 8 Pre-Order Thread

    Hey guys - I upgraded to the Note 8 from the S8+ (50% paid off). I contacted Verizon today on how to return my S8+ via their chat, and they said to return my S8+ to Best Buy (in store) since I bought the S8+ and Note 8 from them. This doesn't seem correct at all??? I thought the phone had to...

    Anyone leave the S8+ and went with the Note 8? Would you return?

    I'm coming from the S8+. My Note 8 was just delivered a little while ago so I don't have any hands-on experience yet. There's nothing wrong with the S8+ (or S8 for that matter as that's what my wife has). I was a former Note 7 owner and went back to my old S5 after the recall. I was...

    BestBuy: Galaxy Note 8 Pre-Order Thread

    UPS just dropped mine off (Verizon). No signature required... I opened the door when he pulled up so he handed it to me directly. I guess they would have just left it if no one answered, so just a heads up. The phone was shipped in a bubble envelope, not a box (which is fine, but figured I'd...

    Note 8 Discount/Previous Note 7 Owners

    I'm wondering how this would work: I have an old good condition S5 I could use for this discount; however, I currently am using an S8+ (verizon) and have about $600 left to pay. I'm trying to figure out if I send in my S5, how to get rid of the S8+. If I upgraded through Verizon, I would be...

    BestBuy: Galaxy Note 8 Pre-Order Thread

    I'm thinking of upgrading from the S8+ (Verizon). Anyone know If I have to pay off 50% of my existing phone before pre-ordering? I have about $150 left to reach 50%. Or is all that done when I pick up the Note and turn in my S8? I've never upgraded early before.

    S8+ and....scratches!

    Totally agree, gorilla glass 5 is garbage and a scratch magnet! I had my S5 for almost 3 years and not a single scratch. My Note 7 had a few light scratches after a few weeks. My S8+ is just over 2 weeks old and has a light scratch on the screen already. I baby this thing, so I don't know...

    Best Buy Pre-Orders

    Come on UPS! They are normally in the neighborhood around noon - 1pm, but it's almost 4:30 and still no sight of them :(. Though I am pretty happy BB came through on getting the phone today, though sucks about missing the $99 promo. I was having my doubts about even getting the phone today.

    Best Buy Pre-Orders

    Still no movement with my S8+ (Verizon and getting it shipped); however, I didn't pre-order until the 15th. Still at the 'in progress' stage and no email yet. I'm losing faith I'll get it by Friday, but we shall see. Coming from the Note 7, then going back to my old S5, I was on the fence...

    Verizon Note Recall Thread 2.0

    How do I return my N7 if I'm going back to my old S5? I guess when they see I've switched phones (I haven't yet investigated how to do this), they'll send out the return box?

    Verizon Note 7 Recall Thread

    Ok, so I chatted with the Verizon rep online and he confirmed I will be credited the restocking fee on my bill (already applied) and credited the $25. It is still strange I was charged this in the first place, but I am happy now. Just wish I could have kept the accessories from the new phone.

    Verizon Note 7 Recall Thread

    Yeah, it was a corporate store. I'll be contacting Verizon tomorrow to get this resolved.
