@lexusgs430...might i suggest you update the thread title by removing the 8 so all Samsung Note users can join in on the party....

Lexusgs430:
We get pie........ You get pie.........

in Oprah's voice...everybody gets a pie

specially adapted Bluetooth pen,.......llllllllooooooollllllllllllllllllllll . there's definitely no harm in dreaming o.....when you wake up, i would have finished downloading android pie on my note 9

10% and loading

Lexusgs430:
Have you manually checked? Your Note would feel like a brand new device, on steroids.............

I have been checking jare...the mumu Samsung never release the OS for unlocked US models officially

Lexusgs430:
Note 8 ṣenior Note 9 nah..... Respect urself o...... My Note 8 manchine, is now simply awesome..........

Nah only for your mind o...the note 9 beat the note 8 up in every area...just the bluetooth PEN alone is enough to kiiii note 8 not to talk of all the ways the note 9 better pass note 8 even without pie OS

My US note 9 still doesn't have the one UI and android pie...super annoying

yes of course it is in Nigeria..i can sell mine to you if you want...about 6 months old, barely used

Chuksworld:
so it is Bluetooth connection sef? Someone told me that the apple watch can answer call even when you are far from your phone

yes, the connection is Bluetooth and WiFi...let me explain the WiFi part...the Samsung watch can also use the WiFi that your phone uses, so when your phone is on a WiFi network and is out of Bluetooth range, your watch can still stay connected if the WiFi of the phone is available

so, if you are at a location with full WiFi coverage and your galaxy phone is connected to the WiFi network, the watch will also detect the WiFi availability and use both Bluetooth and WiFi to stay connected to your phone depending on how close or far away the watch and phone are from each other within the WiFi bubble

apple watches that are not e-sim enabled (extra$100) use only Bluetooth. Samsung watch also has a model with e-sim just like apple watch so don't let anyone deceive you that apple watches can answer call when you are far away. both apple and Samsung watch with e-sim are essentially separate phones on their own with their own phone number

manopaka:
Please how much can I buy note8 presently. In contrast to Note 9, are d difference much? Both in price n spec?

The note devices are beasts but no matter how awesome a device is today, a year or two later it's not such a badass anymore!

We are already in 2019 and note 10 will be out in another 6 months which means note 8 is a very old phone even though it's still going to be better than a lot of low to mid range phones

If you're looking for a device you can use for another 2 to 3 yrs from today, you should bite the bullet and go for note 9 instead of note 8. You can use both for the next 2 to 3 yrs but note 9 will hold up to the newer tech that will be available better than note 8

Does it charge fast?

How do you define fast?
The phone has 5000mAh battery and I don't think it has fast charging technology which means it charges like any regular phone so the time it takes to go from 0% charge to 100% is nothing less than 4hrs.
you want to make sure you're topping up every chance you get to prevent draining the battery and having to wait hrs for it to charge

Most of them are fake

There are map apps on the Samsung apps store..just search for it

This is patheric... how can they give modric balloon d'or over Romaldo? This nonsense FIFA sef...they're just beefing Ronaldo because they think he's too proud

you don't repair software related issues like the way you repair hardware issues.. And nothing like fake internals inside a Samsung body.. A Samsung Note 3 n9005 panel cannot work on a Samsung n900 panel self if that's what you mean by fake internals ..anything model and variants are all software thing ..so when I say refurbished I don't just mean hardware repair only I also mean software repair.. You can have a model s4 i9500 in settings about device but when you check it download mode you would see i9506.. It's possible nothing like internals was changed or dey put i9506 fake internals in it.. It has be flashed with that variant by the person who initially had the phone.. And want to sell it out.. But a novice would not take notice of it

If the issue is that a former owner flashed the phone with the ROM from a different variant, that's different from a refurbished phone.

A genuine refurbished phone will be a phone that's been repaired by authorized Samsung repairer and will have the right ROM flashed.

However, if it was by a non authorized repairer, its possible for it to be flashed with the wrong ROM

I didnt disagree with your observations, just wanted to clarify the difference

They gave me 105mb

that's the same thing i got!!!!

darkhorizon:
Note 9 camera doesn't even compare to Pixel 2 talk more of Pixel 3

The pixels have excellent camera no doubt and the pixel 2 was very good in 2017 but it's very ignorant to compare note9 with pixel 2. You should do proper research

justine94:
Please I want to send a very valueless advice to us all who intend buying any Samsung phones.. I notice most of us buy our phones all in the name of the physical properties not taking consideration into the software versions and model of the phone because ignorance like this can hurt us having full access to how we want to tweak or manipulate our phones later in future am saying this for those who intend doing so.. And also for us who mostly buy UK or fairly used Samsung phones..
Always take into consideration the following before buying any Samsung phone
1.make sure the device model in the about device in setting tallies with the same in the download mode [once you buy the phone especially if it is UK used phone.. Before you pay for the phone ask the seller permission for you to switch off the phone once the phone is off press home button.. Power button and volume button at the same..a instruction would come up press volume button up to continue.. At the top left of the phone.. You would see some information which contains the model of your phone.. Take notice if the model number does not tally with the one in about device in the settings of the phone please don't buy that phone it's a refurbished phone.. But they both tally. It's original.. That's how to detect original Samsung from refurbished phone's...
2.Samsung always release most of their phones on two processors model snapdragon and exynos.. Most times European versions carry snapdragon while Africa and other continents carry exynos.. Now for those who always want to root tweak and install custom on their phones.. If you don't have plans for what I listed then you can buy any model or variants you wnt.. Now back to the topic.. Always buy unbranded phones.. I mean pure versions not network branded versions like T-Mobile AT&T Verizon Sprint etc..
I will be listing best versions for s4 s5 s6 s7 s8 note 3 4 5 7 8 in case you intend buying any on the future

Are you sure the right word is 'refurbished'? Because a refurbished phone is just a phone that's been repaired! Unless it was repaired by a non authorized Samsung repair center, there should be no issues with the model number you see or maybe it's a fake internals inside the Samsung body

justine94:
wow ..very unfortunate to hear that.. So sorry.. Your case is a very rare case called HARDBRICk..it seems the rom you flashed has alot of bugs on it.. With time your phone system could not contain it.. Leading to complete shut down.. Cynagon roms are not really my best friends.. I hardly flashed any of their roms.. Well since its not booting.. Let me do some research on how we could fix it and get back to you

Thanks for this..will be waiting to hear from you

Christmas in the air 2017

taken with the Samsung Galaxy S8+

i installed a custom ROM from cyanogen mod previously then after a while it started acting up..finally, it stopped booting

Yeah, the Gcam app; google's proprietary camera app available on all Google handsets including the Pixel 2 and 3 takes your camera to a new level but it still can't take the shine off the Samsung Note9 Camera

justine94:
stop coming up how. Like its not booting at all

yes!

Good morning guys, I'm a novice at treasury bills and want to invest about 3.6m. I went to Zenith bank and they offered me 10.5% for 91days on the secondary market. However when they did their calculations I saw that I would only be getting about 97k because they would be dividing by 365days. Is this normal? I thought that I would be getting 250 to 300k at the least? Is this how other banks work?

it's normal, that's how interest is calculated. the 10.5% is per annum which means you have to leave your 3.6m with the bank for 1yr to get that 10.5%. if you leave it for 91days, that's a quarter of a year which means you're going to get 2.5% on your 3.6m

i have a Galaxy S3 that i rooted and has stopped coming on...not sure if the problem is the battery or requires a new ROM...any hope?

T-ReX?
