Bubble wrap and packaging peanuts when shipping DHL is probably your best bet.

No I'm talking about safety, so what else do I have 2 buy 2 be safe, like a particular usb charger, cause of the different voltage & what not?

Guess I should have been more specific.
I'm looking to buy at a brick and mortar store in the states asap instead of waiting for it to ship online

Keep in mind that those increase the thickness which may cause an issue with water resistance because of the bulge it causes. Even if it is minimal

No headphones!

So over and over Verizon some how, some way finds a way to screw us, its customers, over. I opened up my box expecting there to be a new pair of Samsung ear buds in there. Nope. Verizon has done it again by taking away features that they think aren't necessary. What gives them the right to do this? I mean. Really? What idiot at Verizon decided that this was a good idea?
Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk
Here's what makes me mad. The s6+ came with headphones why not the note too? Both should be the same imo
I know. Pisses me off that Verizon decided to do this.

Yeah I know I got some from Amazon last year that are great and were only like $20. From Japan or somewhere they sound much better then the Samsung cheap ones
Maybe they do it to shave some $ off the price? I think all the other carriers have headphones and if I'm not mistaken, Verizon note 5 is the cheapest of all? Grasping for a logical answer.

Buying at best buy the payment is 32 vs 33 a month from Verizon.

Not to be mean but what do you think those headphones cost for Samsung to make? I'd venture to say maybe 50 cents? Somewhere in that ballpark

I understand the cost to make. Truthfully the whole phone probably costs less than $100 to make. I was talking about the full price of the phone being cheaper than the other carriers. Listen, I agree....we should get the headphones. I was just trying to think why they don't. Its the only reason I could come up with.

No no I understand you meant Verizon note 5 is cheapest I was just pointing out they are super cheap headphones lol and Verizon probably gets the cheapest because they sell the most Samsung. That would be my guess
I guess I should go check the box, lol! I have two good sets of wireless headphones , so if it's not in there, no biggie imo, for me any way.

Note series doesn't come with headphones. S series do. Its been that way for a while. Samsung rep confirmed. Note users are generally more business use due to the stylus for signatures etc while the S series is more for the user to use on an arm band while exercising or for the general use of entertainment.

The only thing good about the Samsung stock headphones is that you can increase the horrible volume from the Note 4 with them (Perhaps the volume is better on the 5), however, since they generally break in a week, a decent pair of bluetooth ones make a world of difference.
You've spent good money on the phone, might as well spend a few more and buy some headphones. I use Jaybird Bluebuds X. <3 them.
Good thing my s6 came with headphones

My husband's Edge+ was $100 more than my Note 5.
$100 headphones (actually ear buds)?
I can't use ear buds, it hurts my ears, but still would've wanted them. My kids are always breaking/losing them, but NOT for $100.

There is quite a big difference between the two.
1) Android pay is only NFC capable. Samsung pay is not.
2) Samsung pay uses NFC AND MST technology for mobile payments, depending on the terminal.
If you would like more information, I would suggest visiting samsung website referencing to samsung pay.

Just email samsung and ask them for a free charger. It seems like they are giving them away like candy anyway.

I'm going to assume you're being sarcastic. But it's the same one that they have been offering for free through various deals since the initial launch of the note 5.

No I was being serious. I knew they were giving away some wireless chargers with the Note 5 at purchase, but didn't know they were doing it for Samsung Pay too.
It is a crappy charger anyway... Any 3 coil one on amazon for $15 will run circles around this free one in terms of placement and connection stability.

Phone return and freebies?

I'm returning my g5 until there is root available. I plan to purchase one again if root becomes available in the near future. I have the battery and camera promotion items being sent to me. Do those need to be returned as well?
Sent from my LG-H830 using Tapatalk
Nope I had 2 return 2 LG devices cause of screen bleed and I asked them the same question and they said no just return the phone.
Disclaimer: doing this more than once with no issue to the phone can set up a red flag for scam.
Sent from my LG-H901 using Tapatalk
Sweet thanks. Yeah I have no interest in doing this more than once, just like to know I have the freebies when I buy again. If hate to spend $650 on a phone again and not have the 360 camera and battery.
Sent from my LG-H830 using Tapatalk
I'm thinking... If you've received the freebies you're more then likely out of your return/refund period considering how long it takes to process the orders.

T-Mobile sent me the shipping label last night, phone is going out tomorrow.

So you are returning a phone, that you appear to like, until it has root then you are buying it again? Not really sure what that accomplishes but to each his own.
You're paying a $50 restocking fee because of no root? Must be nice. While you're in the giving mood, ill take $50

LOL go figure.
By then LG will most likely patch the ability to root. Better to keep the damn phone that you have rather then get set up for failure.
It's gone guys, let this thread die. My question has been answered.

Samsung wireless chargers fast

Is there a certain model of the Samsung ones that will work the S8. I have a older that works fine with a otter box case on it but I just bought 2 new ones that would not work at all with case and without it it would pause and restart charging constantly. Is there something I'm missing?
