Sorry if this has been asked before. My work computer always gives me errors when searching for posts. I just got into using Samsung Pay and I'm getting some friends into it as well. For all of us to get 5 bucks it says to have them enter my code. Problem is, it doesn't say where to enter...

If I don't get the full trade in for my Note 5 I will just blacklist the phone. I'm not gonna lose all that money and let them resell it and use it. My Note 5 was in perfect condition. We will see what happens I guess.

Mine said 3 pounds with the charger and phone. It could be just the charger. It has some weight to it. I hope not for your sake.

This is what I get when it finishes optimizing now.

So apparently, Samsung and Mcafee made an agreement to install the AV software on all unlocked Samsung phones after the S8. So it only seems to effect the unlocked models. I guess I just have to ignore it, but it's frustrating to buy an unlocked device to avoid bloatware, and then have a...

I have had the Note 8 for a week today and this evening before bed I went to optimize device and now it only goes to 90%. It says I now have to run a security scanner by mcafee to get to 100%. Is anyone else having this issue out of nowhere now as well? I guess its not a real issue, but I...

Re: What did you put in the box with your trade in? I got mine from Samsung. Unlocked version. I sent mine back in the original Note 5 box. Then I packed that box in the box my note 8 and charger and sd card came in. Samsung doesn't send you anything to return the old device in.

Re: What did you put in the box with your trade in? Thanks for that clarification. Ive been yelling at myself all morning, in my head, so the wife doesn't hear. Haha.

What did you put in the box with your trade in? Dropped my note 5 off in a very well packed box to fed ex yesterday. I followed all instructions for preparing the phone. I packed it in the original note 5 box all by itself then wrapped it in bubble wrap then back into the box my note 8 came in...

I would enjoy my free Note 8.

Wifi calling works on my unlocked Note 8 on T mobile.

Do you have smart lock enabled? If you do and set it up for your location it stays unlocked till you leave there. So if smart lock is set for your home address, when you're at home it'll be unlocked. Then it will stay unlocked till you are about 80 meters from the smart lock address. I have...

I have an unlocked Note 8. In the camera app there is no selection for shutter sound, but if you tell Bixby to shut off shutter sound she will. Figured I'd share that info.

I found a way around it on my unlocked Note 8. I told Bixby to turn off shutter sound and she did.

Got my Note 8 yesterday. Very pleaased with it. One thing has occured with it, but only on this site. Very strange, but a thin black vertical line shows up on the left side of the screen as seen in the image below. If I scroll either direction, it disappears. It hasn't happened at any other time...
