Already experiencing hardware issues with the display of my Note 10+ Unlocked 256GB Aura Glow that I bought directly from Samsung.com.
I received my device Aug 21, and two days ago 2 green vertical lines appeared on the left side of my screen, right where the screen bends. Never dropped this phone, just appeared when I was checking my emails. The vertical lines do not go away when the screen is on. Even went in the boot menu to clear the cache, and the lines are just constantly present. (Picture attached)
Getting the run around from Samsung that's super disappointing. I called Samsung.com first, and they were wanting me to send my device in so they can try to repair it. Leaving me phoneless for up to 10 days.... Since I traded in my spare phone, Note 9 to get that 600 discount. I told them that's unacceptable, then remembered I also purchased Samsung Premium Care. So they told me to call them, but mentioned I may have to pay to get a replacement on a frickin phone not even a month old... So I called Premium Care, and they are unsure of the situation, and have to work with Samsung.com in getting this defective device warrantied.
So they gave me a claim # and told me they will contact me in the next few days with a plan... I'm so disappointed with Samsung over this situation. Just wanted to share this info in case this display issue happens to someone else. Will update on how Samsung is going to take care of their defective device.
Anyone else have experience getting their devices warrantied when purchased directly from Samsung.com?

I'd go through whatever wireless service you're using like T-mobile, Verizon, etc, talk to a supervisor if you don't get anywhere with a regular representative....and see if they can do anything. It's so damn ridiculous what you're going through. If your mobile provider can't do anything, then I would call your bank or whatever credit card you charged through and file a dispute against the charge, tell them what all is going on and that Samsung refuses to do anything and send the thing back and then go get one at Best Buy or something. I've heard nothing but horror stories with Samsung.com and going through Samsung to buy directly from them.
OP purchased the phone directly from Samsung.com, as stated in the first sentence. How is the carrier involved in this? I would call Samsung, speak to manager and request new phone be send to me and return old one after receiving replacement. I would probably give them my CC as a warranty that I will send the phone back, instead of keeping both. Another option would be to buy some cheap phone (I've seen some for less than $100) and use it as backup. I keep my old Note3 as a backup for years and actually needed to use it on at least 4 different occasions and it still works great. The last option maybe look for Samsung store or service place in the area and deal with them in person?
Thank you for the reply. That's a good idea, return it and buy one from Best Buy. I really wish I kept my Note 9, I did wait until the last day to mail it out just in case. I got the unlocked version since I'm in the process of switching from T-Mobile to Spectrum Mobile because they use Verizon's network and it's only $14/mo if I go by the gig since I tend not to use much data since I keep everything downloaded on my phone. Especially since T-Mobiles network is unbearable in my area. I will give Apple credit with being able to just walk in the store with an issue.
I use to run Google Nexus devices until Pixel came out with their subpar 1st phone. I was so pissed I bought a iPhone the next day haha. When I had hardware issues they just swapped my iPhone. However I got tired of them after a couple years and missed android. So I went Note ever since without any issues until now (N8 & N9 were flawless). My Grandma is still using my Nexus 5 (LG), and my Mom is using my Nexus 6 (Motorola) still today. Sorry for the ramble lol.

Thanks man, I totally forgot there's a store near me inside one of the Best Buy's. I'll stop by and just see if he can do anything. Yeah may just need to get a cheapo to use, depending what I hear back from Samsung Premium Care.

Going to Samsung store is probably best option, because he can verify right then and there the phone is defective and needs to be replaced under warranty? But I never had warranty issues with any of my phones, so no personal experience in "how it should work" against "how it actually works"

So there I was, riding a bicycle at work and like a badass that I am,I decided to go hands free. Well, some mysterious force decided that idea wasn't going to work out today and down I went. Got a few scrapes and bruises, nothing major but my phone.....oh dear. Like any loyal phone, it took a hit for me and in exchange it gained nothing more than "thank you" and a completely broken display. (I'll post some pictures tonight when I get off work). Anyhoo, I turn to you guys as to what I should do from here. I have a few ideas but not entirely sure which would be the cheaper/faster solution:
1) I am with T-Mobile and my headset insurance transfered over to my GN. I could send it in for repair which I'm not entirely sure T-Mo will honor my phone and pay a deductible. I imagine its somewhere around $150
2) Purchase a $180.00 display from Amazon and repair it myself.
3) Report the phone as lost (not sure how well that will work)
Thats all I have in mind as of now. Please guys, need some desperate advice. Cannot go without my GN :crying:
I would try to go the insurance way first and if you don't like what they say about it, they'll probably give you an estimate or something, go to option #2
Option #3 is actually insurance fraud and I would be careful to even post about it...
I'll give them a call later and get an estimate. My only hope is that it wont be too much. As far as the lost claim, thanks for that info. That was actually a suggestion from a co-worker didnt know how it would even work out.
How about a sale price. I could sell it on eBay and buy a brand spankin' new GN. The phone boots and everything, its just the display thats completely gone. You reckon I could geet ~$100 for parts only?

I doubt you will be able to earn much from a broken Gnex on ebay. Best bet would be that you "lose it" you know like, riding the bike and it slip from you. If you want to go legal, check how much it would cost you to send it to their repair center. Usually it's around 150$ (that's exactly how much it costed to me last time i broke my phone), but it might change depending on your carrier, why it's broke, etc. I would say that you try to change the screen yourself on a last chance hit. Pretty complicated and if you have broken connector in phone, you will pay for nothing.
Wouldn't reporting it as lost be insurance fraud or something? Don't do that
So turns out Asurion doesn't cover it. After being told by T-Mo initially when I first got it that It WOULD be covered, I now get a no. Paying Premium Headset Protection for nothing, magnificent. My only options right now are to sell it for parts, I find ~$100 a semi-reasonable price seeing as how the display is only $150 ish.....250 for a fixed GN is not bad. I would then be purchasing a brand new GN...

I'm posting an update with the intent of helping others who may run into my situation, where the insurance company doesn't directly cover the GN.
So after going through days of complications with Asurion, much more than I typically care for, ( 3 Claims, multiple faxes due to them "not receiving them" and a week and a half of calling them every day) I finally managed to get them to somewhat cover the loss. Since the beginning they could not find the GT-i9250 model anywhere on their list of covered devices and they always insisted on the Nexus S, which is worth considerably less than the GN. I had to get in contact with a claims adjustor which could only give me a phone comparable which is completely understandable. They gave me the option between HTC Amaze 4G and the Samsung SGSII STANDARD (Whatever that means?). I ended up going for the GSII which I will be selling to buy another GN. I just miss my GN that much
Would the SGSII STANDARD be the i9100? Because the image they showed me did not look anything like the T989 (T-Mo SGSII).

My Samsung Galaxy Note7 was manufactured in Vietnam on August 26th? I got the Note7 from Three UK, does that mean I am unaffected?
Seems dubious to me could be wrong but why single out one supplier (ebay seller?) bad wording errors if that was the case then why is it not posted on Samsung's sites.

Well, could be any number of reasons, maybe it just got released internally?, no idea. It does makes more sense to me that those devices affected can be identified by some sort of triage, rather than recalling all devices (which semed odd since the start). I followed the QR code and it des link to samsung website. I am not saying that this is 100% true, but it does make sense. Posted this to stop the massive Note 7 abuse before someone may regret it
I agree, this is a badly written letter and looks completely fake.
.
I am not convinced quite yet.
It's badly written because it's written by Asians? Perhaps?
I am Asian by the way. And this is fine. I've seen far worse letters than this.

I don't disagree.
However, I'd wait for tomorrow. It's the weekends here, so I'll look out for Monday for any kind of announcement.
I would really hope that this company wouldn't fake an internal letter like this. I wouldn't be surprised if Samsung took a faked letter like this extremely seriously considering the circumstances. So I'm on the fence in this one but really hope someone wouldn't take that chance. It has a customer number on it. Someone could easily call Samsung and get this verified.
Sent from my SM-N930F using Tapatalk
Fake. There is no chance they would publicly announce a world wide recall, then a day later say 'Oops, we mean world wide recall. Except for this batch of phones. Our bad.' If they where wrong about that batch of phones they would get crucified. Nope, that seller just doesn't want to deal with the headache of returning all the units they sold, and returning all that money.
So if you bought from this seller you stuck with the phone you have or file a case with eBay and get your money back since you're within 30day eBay return policy and buy another device when they are fixed. That's your only two choices.
Sent from my SM-N930F using Tapatalk
My UK Note7 pre-order was canceled on the 1st Sept, so I'm waiting to see if Samsung can narrow down affected batches and release the unaffected devices...
If you want to check the date your Note 7 or any Samsung device was manufactured type this into the phone dialer *#12580*369# the "RF Cal" field is the date of device manufacture, if that information even helps in anyway Im not sure yet.
A worldwide recall is just that. Every phone that was sold. This letter is total BS.
This is one of many reasons why eBay just even an option to buy stuff for me. If it isnt Amazonable then it's not worth it, I get you want a deal and access to unlocked devices and whatnot but eBay has and will always be that "scummy dark alley" place for sellers, and by the looks of this letter (which looks so sketchy) this is another prime example of that. I wouldn't trust this at all, looks like he's just wants to keep his money and not deal with returns.

Yes. If it were real, Samsung should fire their PR. You don't go anouncing a worldwide recall and then say whoops, we didn't mean it. And wait a whole weekend to correct it. This is a huge blow for them and it is exceptionally hard on us customers worrying we might have ticking time bombs in our possesion. If they back out of their statement after a weekend of not caring, they will ruin their reputation further. They will appear non credible. Excuse me but exploding phones warrant Samsung managment and PR works all weekend!
I agree. This letter is fake. It's a (mostly) well done fake, but a fake. IMO, it's Tropical trying to keep from having to take back all the phones they've sold.
In the US and the EU they would have little choice, in Singapore I'm not sure if they can weasel out of it or not.
I've already received my email from Amazon saying that they will send a full refund for the phone and any accessories I have purchased there. It was not this seller (Tropical) but of course as an FD model it is grey market and was sold without warranty. The email also said that if I sold the phone I should notify the person I sold it to so that they can return it for a refund. Lastly it stated that the return hadn't been hashed out yet and not to send it until they were ready.
I'm going to extrapolate a little here with a few guesses. The fact that Amazon also specifically mentioned a further buyer and my phone is already grey market implies that Samsung is going after all the phones regardless of where/how they were purchased. That they don't want me to send it yet gives me the impression they don't know exactly what they are going to do with it or how the process will go which would mean Samsung hasn't yet hashed it out internally how they will handle the grey market phones and given that information to those that sold them.
Those are guesses Gents, I have no special knowledge, I'm just reading the tea leaves.
I bought my phone from LuLu Mall here from Riyadh ( SA ).
Model is : SM N930FD
Made in Vietnam.
How we can confirm that my phone will also come under the recall process ? I have been using the device for like past 3 days and i don't feel any Lag, battery drain or Over heating while charging or using the phone.
The FAA today announced an emergency order banning Note 7s from airplanes. Unlike their previous order, this ban applies to all Note 7s and prohibits even bringing the phones on board, even if they're powered down.

This gets me as i have to fly in 2 weeks. Now i have to decide what to do. Think I'm going back to my old s4 so i don't lose my upgrade & pay twice for a phone i didn't want. So pissed. I like the s7 edge but not dropping 300$ for it ??
Hopefully this ban stays only in America and not world-wide...
Not surprised. Just a matter of time. Fortunately I finished my traveling last week for awhile and did use my Note. S7 Edge arrives on Monday.

Is anyone have any idea what to do if it get banned?
its worldwide. i read that news.. i dont have the link
Yup just got ban in Australia, I have to flight on Monday.
I contacted Samsung care I will see.
I will go again tomorrow to Samsung shop, hoping for the best.
Samsung really screwed up on that.
In au, just got the pushed Samsung message to say total aircraft ban..flying in 2 weeks..I bet from experience with the loan phone that it won't come in time (and I am disappointed to have to give up the spen for the first time in 4 years..Assuming I go the S7E which is about the most similar phone to the N7 there is).

In Canada I did the trade. Walked out with an S7E and $300+ in cash.
The ban means security can take it away. Airlines have fireproof bags if one is found on board. If you are caught with one on board you will be charged.

Banned by Transport Canada too.
Now banned also by the Italy’s largest airline Alitalia.
http://corporate.alitalia.it/en/media/press-releases-sai/2016-10-15.html
the ban is so bad until the whole phone is tainted , removing battery doesnt get you thru too , hmmm the power of media hype
if the phone is seen as a threat and by the fact it has been discontinued and recalled even the manufacturer has deemed the device unsafe for the public, so really them being given a total ban from air travel (a place where them failing is most dangerous) is not bad it is just common sense, even the boxes sent out by Samsung say that they are only to be sent by ground transport, so when the manufacturer is saying not to take them on flights in protective boxes it makes the idea of taking them in your pocket or bag on a plane sound even more unadvisable.
it gets better
It is now a federal crime to bring a Galaxy Note 7 onto an airplane
http://www.theverge.com/2016/10/16/...federal-crime-federal-aviation-administration
read the find print
Passengers who bring a Note 7 onto a plane are "subject to civil penalties of up to $179,933 for each violation for each day they are found to be in violation (49 U.S.C. 5123)," and could be prosecuted, which could "result in fines under title 18, imprisonment of up to ten years, or both (49 U.S.C. 5124)."
...and you'll still find people that'll keep their phone because the only people they care about is themselves.

Samsung has stated pretty clearly that they are willing to buy back the devices and they're offering full refunds on the price which would mean if you go that route and you get the money you can pay off the contract with the money they provide to you. It might not be a really easy thing, done with a single phone call, but I have no reason to think Samsung won't follow through and offer a refund for every Note 7 that people who still possess them care to send back.
Of course a lot of people at this point are already looking for ways to weasel out of such contracts and get another device in exchange and the $100 credit and not have to pay their carrier a penny and they're even going so far as to think Samsung should give them a discount or credit towards whatever the next flagship device happens to be.
Such practices are becoming all too common in our world and it's pretty disgusting when it does.
Just FYI stuff but I flew Delta from Jacksonville NYC and back last week. They announced the ban on the Note 7 many times in the airport and on the plane. But, I never saw anyone check anyone's phone. Maybe they can tell when the phones roll through the x-ray machine or something. The announcement said if you had one please bring it to the desk (in the airport), or to give it to a flight attendant if you had it on the plane. Seemed kind of "lax" to me.............
Hi all, just wondering if anyone else opted to trade in a phone as part of Samsung's website offer? I did, and was expecting to get some return packaging for the old phone alongside the new, but didn't. A Samsung FAQ says don't use the S9 return packaging, so does the trade in packaging arrive separately?
Thanks!
Got a response from Samsung on Facebook - return packaging comes separately for the trade in phones!
I would recommend taking photos of your phone before shipping it back. You do not want to be advised of a different value for the phone when it is received.

I got my S9 from the Samsung Upgrade Program, the box the S9 came in is the same box I returned my S7 in. I put the boxed S7 in (no accessories like charger etc.) and it has a bit of sticky tape to re-seal the box, there was also a return shipping label in the box. I just dropped it at my local DPD pickup point.
And as Bxrider117 says, take pictures of everything.

I glad I read this, I found my email in the spam folder. I been waiting for something from samsung to tell me what to do with the trade in phone .
I am still waiting to get my tracking number on my S9 that I pre-ordered on March 6th from Samsung. I called today and said I would be getting a tracking number by email and that the return box would be sent separate
hello
For anyone that made the same mistake as me and sent it back using the return label and box that came with your S9, it is so painful to sort it out!
I have called Samsung Support (UK) 3 times and been on hold for an hour+ each time. 2 of the calls just cut off and one answered, I could hear people talking for a couple of minutes and then they hung up. The online live chat was useless and they were not understanding my issue at all, one agent told me to speak to the courier (the courier couldn't help) and then I finally got through to one who listened, spoke to the returns centre, the courier and extended my return deadline. They advised that they will email me in 5-7days to let me know if they managed to get the phone sent to the right place or possibly returned back to me.
Anybody actually got their return packaging sent yet?
Still waiting here...

Got a reminder email from the samsung recycle programme this morning stating I had not returned my phone. I followed up with a Live chat session with the samsung recycle helpdesk , and they said this was an automated email and they know there are delays in the packs going out and ship it when you receive the pack.
Sign into your Samsung account. Navigate to your orders page. There is a link for the return label for the device you are trading in. Use same box that the S9 came in and ship your trade-in with the label provided in the order page. Unless as others have mentioned, there may be delays at Samsung sending out return package specifically for your trade-in. I wouldn't doubt that with the issues they've already had sending Verizon sims to Sprint customers. (BTW, S9 SIMs are unique to S9, you can't re-use SIMs specific to other devices).
Has anyone received their returns pack yet? I am still waiting and have emailed them twice now. I dont want to get charged for next month's payment.
got mine on Monday
The instructions say to send it back in the same box that the new phone came in.

Did you send accessories as well, or just the device?

No just the device you don't need anything else
I'll be sending in a pristine iPhone 6 64gb to VZW for $450. Keeping my Note 8 as back up.

Just for info i record the phone and packing just to have proof
i had 3 note 9s to trade for three 10+'s -- thats $1,800.00 in trade credit that I want to make sure I dont have any problems with.
I took videos of all 3 phones being reset in realtime. I then sent an email to samsung with a link to the videos and photos. got a ticket number in case any issues. all 3 phones in factory fresh no scratch direct from the factory mint level condition so I expect zero issues but best to have insurance in place.
Sent my Pixel 3XL in. Of course took pics and a video. Extreme bubble wrap as well.

Well they received my phone yesterday got email now being evaluated i sent in really fast to avoid the overload of trade ins coming in. It seems that when they start having issues when they have so many
Do anyone think these are going to be any issue? Screen and everything else are in pristine condition and I did chat with Samsung explaining the condition and they said as long screen and back galas is not cracked, I should be fine and I even saved that chat. After seeing this thread, I kept feeling bad for not mailing the phone on Wednesday itself.

That's what I was expecting to receive an email from Samsung but if you go to your Samsung order, you will see the FedEx label

I got the "Welcome to the Samsung trade in program" right after I got the delivered email when I got the Note10+
I did the trade in earlier for the S10+ and it went smooth. I'm just repeating what i did and expect the same. I removed all accounts, took pictures of the entire phone and the factory data reset process and put them in the shipping box with the other side of the shipper that says to leave in the box. I also put the trade in S10+ in it's original box.
Last time I did get an email from samsung accepting the trade in as well. That was a few weeks after I shipped it.
Dropping it off at fed ex tomorrow

I logged into my Samsung Account and do not see any shipping lables. IN the list under "My Orders" I see a referrabce to my trade in - when I click on that it goes to "Page cannot be found" page. Guess I need to contact support?

You probably need to contact Samsung support. I checked in my orders page and I see the label in my trade in section of the order.

Got an email today that one of the 3 note 9 trade ins were delivered. Email states 5-7 working days for the status on the trade in.
Like others i took videos, sent photos, and started a ticket to show links to where these images can be viewed at. All 3 had the original box, the original plastic overlay on the screen as well as the back plastic overlay. I even included the charger brick, cable (never used them anyway) the tool to swap the stylus tip and the bar codes tmo shipped with them. I did keep the ear buds and cushions though..
Same here, 5-7 days for evaluation. S10e mint condition, recorded long video of shiny front & back surfaces and the packing process. Wrapped inside bubble foil.

You sent in the box and everything else just in case as the customer support said they don't need any of these?
