S-Pen already loose - Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers

Noticed while tapping towards the lower half of the screen the device rattles. Noticed it's the S Pen. If I remove it then no rattles.
Just a quirk I've observed as well as slightly higher temps during casual usage. No gaming.

Rattle is from the clicker on the pen itself, not the pen rattling inside your phone. If you shake the pen itself you can barely make it out. I don't have the heating issue.
BTW, this purple is sexy A.F!!!!!?

Yes, you right it's the clicker. Cheers.

Mine did get a little warm during setup but that's because I was adding my 8 million accounts back to back.

I'm talking about rebooting and after initial usage. Probably the way the heat sink is layed out. Gsam registers 90F when back gets warm.

Hopefully it's not the real estimated battery capacity, too soon to estimate I guess.

This type of programs are not to be trusted. You can check samsung phone info AND also don't trust it entirely, it's educated estimate only.

Worked ok with my note 8, but yes I get your point.

My bluetooth button on S-pen makes tiny rattle too when I tap it. Is that normal?

Bezel cracks or manufacturer defect?

After a few weeks of waiting I received my Nexus 7 today. I'll admit, I can be pretty picky about these things. I noticed what I first assumed was a crack in the top-right corner of the bezel. Upon further inspection I noticed a similar mark, although less pronounced in the top left corner, in the same spot. There's a third, (even less noticeable but still visible mark in the bottom corner of the bezel, [not pictured]), and the remaining bottom corner looks completely fine.
Question is, am I the only one with these cracks/defects, and while it may seem too picky to some, I'm very tempted to do an exchange. Pictures below.

Molding seams. They're all like that.
Mine was like that too... not as pronounced but visible.

Very interesting, on the most prominent seem (top photo) I pushed it together and it did close up. If they're all like this then it will save me the trouble of returning, cause what's the point.

Thank you for taking the time to take those photos and posting them. It's good to know they're not all like that. Looks like I'll be returning my N7 after all. (If only I wasn't so damn picky.) lol
after checking mine, I only have one corner (corner above where the power button is) shows something similar. It's not a crack for sure, more like a uneven paint line.
Seems like a pain to return anything purchased online. I spoke with Google's customer service after being on hold for 5 mins, (which by the way, they need to change the on-hold music.) The rep, nice guy, made a note of my issue and said I'll be receiving an email in the next 48 hours. I assume after the return, and another few business days to credit my card back, I'll be able to try to buy one locally. (If I can even find one.)

Cheap stand that allows pogo charging.

I was tired of waiting for a dock from Google so started looking for a stand that would allow me to plug my pogo charger in the bottom.
I found this Griffin "A-Frame" stand for ipads at a local dollar store for only $3.... I got a few for various places in my home... just need to get a few more pogos.

Does the bottom come up far enough to possibly block the official flap from opening/fully closing?

I don't have a flap to test.... can you explain a bit better... how would it get blocked?

With the stand I have, when the case is completely closed, it can't open:
And when trying to close the flap while on the stand, it won't close fully (sits on the stand itself):
my version
There is a lot of room where it sits on the stand.... maybe 1/2 an inch so a lot of room. I don't see me wanting to open / close a case or cover while it is in a stand.

Any chance you could get a close-up picture of the bottom of the stand where the tablet comes in-contact with the stand?

Nice Night Clock or Always On Watch Face

I started using this for my night table when charging at night. I'm not too sure how it would do with battery life if you use it as a watchface but I'm planning on testing it.
It has great brightness options. You can dim it for night use by swiping gently down or raise the brightness by swiping up. The little details in the lighting are nice. When you dim the brightness you see the shadows of the digits and days of the week. The disappear when you fully brighten it.

I agree, that will probably be a problem.
I had a Galaxy S3 that burned in badly after leaving it lit all night for a few months on a nightstand.

I was wondering about this too. My wife's phone which is a fairly recent moto model had terrible burn-in just from basic use. You can see her homescreen apps pretty clearly.

missing tweezers and replacement nibs?

Are we supposed to receive a tweezer and replacement nibs for this phone in the box? I ordered it from Samsung direct and cannot seem to find it.
Is anyone else missing it from the box?
Yes, those are supposed to be included: http://www.samsung.com/us/galaxy/note8/specs/ .

This is going to be a problem. I know from bitter experience that if an item is missing Samsung will require the whole box and contents including your mobile to be returned! Unless your outlet can arrange with the Samsung rep' to just give you a pack. Its an absurd situation. I speak in relation to Southern Europe, if you are in the USA or UK etc things 'may' be different?
It happens, it has to considering millions of these mobiles will be shipped. Its just a pain to resolve.
I know numerous Note 7 buyers where NOT requested to return all the contents of the box only the mobile. To that end maybe a decent member here who has a spare set could send it to you as a kind favour? If I had a set I would do so. When I returned both my Note 7's the outlet (Samsung) required everything, including the so called free VR head set! :silly:
Hope you can resolve this with a minimum of fuss.
Ryland :good:
It also happens that customers sometimes fail to check every nook and cranny of their packaging, or fail to unbox their device in the middle of an otherwise-empty surface where they can easily see everything that's removed from the box, and where there's no danger of knocking tiny items to the floor.
Worst case, though, is that you can order replacement nibs for a few dollars.
what are the little tweezer things for anyway?

tip replacements for the pen.
Mine were up against the upper right corner under the flap. I haven't taken any of the accessories out.

Ah thanks! I wondered about that on my previous 2 Notes as well!

Those that use Accubattery

Was wondering what your estimate capacity is ? I've used this app from new on my Note 8 and now my Note 9. The note 8 showed the true capacity but this one isn't.

Mine was reading similar until I did a full charge overnight. Now it looks like this.
Sent from my SM-N960F using Tapatalk
Mine has climbed up a little bit to 3878 mah. I took it down to 1% yesterday but it only climbed 6 points. Hopefully in a few more days it'll match the designed capacity. I'm used to seeing numbers a little bit past the designed capacity in my previous phones.

I didn't have to do that either with the 8. I'm also using a wireless charger but don't think that should matter at all.

Mine is only showing 3701. I have done one full 100% charge. Not sure if maybe the app isn't reporting correctly or what.
So I cleared the accubattery data to start from scratch and charged the phone last night. Now it shows the correct battery capacity. A little over 4000,4031.
