    Note 8 trade in offer status for Samsung.com orders

    I did that on my Note 5 through Verizon. Trade value was 425 and I pay 12.xx/ month on device installments. Got credit after 1 bill cycle.

    Samsung pay question

    Make sure you go through the app and include all your contact info. I've used SP since Note 5 and it's much much better now. Almost no problems at checkout. 40+ transactions a month avg.

    Samsung notes

    In the previous Note 5 version of S Notes I could set the background to black. I haven't found a way to do that in the Samsung Notes version on my Note 8. Stinks, I used the black background for all of my notes. I know the screen off memo is black background, that's not what I want.

    Hi, new guy, sort of, old question

    VZW Note 2,3,4,5,8 owner, reception (radio) was horrible through N2-N4. N5 was great, there were still people that claim different but just depends, you know, apples for apples comparisons. N8 has been better than my N5.

    Anyone know when our new Note 8 freebies are going to ship?

    Once I submitted my info I was emailed within 30 min with acceptance. The next day I was emailed package status and 4dats later (today) my package arrived. It's much quicker this time than with the Note 5. That took about 45 days.

    Smart Call/Spam Call function

    Sign into your providers account on the device. It's provided through there. At least with VZW. The service should activate afterwards.

    Stock text message app/edge lighting

    I use Verizon Messages+, I've seen that when my phone screen is off. There's a setting for it I believe.
