T-Mobile: Galaxy S9/S9+ Official Pre-Order Thread

[Mr_Spencer]

What's the status of it?

Delivered at 7:30p! Currently charging.

trying to get used to this new fingerprint scanner is rough, I never had an issue with the placement of last year's models.

This! I owned a few LG phones before, but for some reason this placement seems out of whack. I really had no issue with the S8+ and the FPS. (As long as there was a case on the phone.)

Bummer big time: i have the S9+

even though Samsung Smart Transfer went well and Google resync'ing went well too, out of the blue, when everything just sync'ed properly and i seem to be able to start using my phone normally, there was a pop up that said something like: SD card malfunctioned, reformat now.

when i clicked "yes" for the reformat, there was some strange machine code type of gobbledygook, something that said "...failure". so i turned off the phone, pulled out the sd card drawer, carefully reseated both the SD card as well as the sim card. restarted the phone.

no to avail, neither the File Manager nor ASTRO app see any SD card now.

anyone else has issues with their SD card/card reader?

it seems like the phone no longer sees a card inserted.

my sd card is Samsung and i just bought it from B&H, which is about as legit as it gets.

This happened to me about 2 weeks into owning my S8+. At the end of it all my SD card was completely corrupted to the point I couldn't even format it to use again. Had to buy a new one and start from scratch.

Heads up if you bought the zagging elite. There is known issue and they are fixing it for release Friday. Learned the hard way LOL

Took this photo of the backyard at night. No streetlights nearby. The Note8 could have taken this photo well, but it would still be a bit blurry. Much sharper with the S9+. So far so good!

One of the worst parts about being an early adopter/ beta tester.

Mine got dropped of by the ups man at about 6pm. Got home from work at 715 and haven't put it down yet. Its everything I had hoped it would be and more. Bluetooth LDAC with my Sony headphones is sounding awesome! Got all my apps downloaded and signed into all my apps with my fingerprint. Everything is all set. Awesome screen just like the S8, stereo speakers are awesome as well. Glad to not be using that iPhone anymore.

The Spigen ultra hybrid s with the kickstand is also on it and is feeling pretty nice in my hands.

I used the sim card I had from my iPhone that this is replacing. Later realized there was a sim card in the box, but this one is working fine.

Ah, so precious... That's a excellent picture!

Let us know how that nano liquid works, I'm done with trying screen protectors on curved screens. Went without on my note 8 and it had some noticeable scratches, but I turned it in to tmobile and they didn't say anything about them. I have the supcase with the built in screen protector for work and it seems to work pretty good. Hopefully that will minimize the scratches this time around.

How is the built in screen protector on it? How is sensitivity? I thought about getting it or the I Blason Magma case for my Note 8. I know it used a different material than most built in protectors due to the curved screen. The Defender for the s7 edge had a thicker material due to the curve. No dust ever got under it because it was so tight, but touch sensitivity was just terrible with it.

I put mine in a case right in the UPS customer center before charing it on the way to work yesterday. And yes _ I removed that sticker on the back. When I took this picture I'd just picked the phone up from UPS so I wanted to charge it up first.

any reason to use the sim card in the box as opposed to using my existing SIM card?

Don't think so. I never use them

I always keep them as spares as T-Mobile tends to charge you for them sometimes. I've only ever needed to use them once. Idk how the Sim I was using went bad.

Can I just say how much I like looking at this coral blue? I need a clear backed case ASAP.
