missing tweezers and replacement nibs? - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

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.

Desktop charger/cradle

Anyone using this cradle: http://www.boxwave.com/news/news_1326.htm
I haven't seen many other options options - only 1 other in fact. The another one I have seen makes you have to physically plug the cable in the side which kind of defeats the purpose.
The new(ish) Boxwave one seems to have to slide on.
I'm in Australia and would have to have it shipped across. Wondering is anyone is using and can give me feedback on what it's like.
For example, I'd like to know how easy it connects/disconnects from the cradle.
Thanks.
Thanks for your post! I am camping in the Swiss Alps this summer and found the perfect accessory for me!

Thanks kerrance.... Hadn't seen that one before and looks great. Unfortunately doesn't look like they ship overseas (I'm in Australia).
Box wave looks good, especially the one with the extra battery charger Mite consider this as well, but my problem is I already ordred the crystal case from pdair.com and it would be hassle to remove it from the case everytime I sit it on the cradle :-(

Are you antwhere near melbourne? dont know if this one needs to have the cable plugged in you cant really see.
http://www.ow.com.au/shop/PDA-Cables-Cradles/HTC-Touch-DUAL-USB-Desktop-Cradle
as for the other one, in their terms and conditions it says
3.2 - Unless otherwise agreed orders are shipped by Royal Mail Special Delivery, Royal Mail Recorded delivery or Royal Mail International Airsure service.

so i guess they will deliver, there is an email form on the site (help & support => contact us) so you may want to ask them first

Yeah, I live in Melbourne and I have physically seen that one. It has a very short USB cable that needs to be manually connected to the side of the phone. I fail to understand the point of this device (but, maybe it's just me)... I might as well just connect a standard USB cable.

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.)

Another case
External power pack
Headset
It shows 2 types of casings, external battery, wireless charger, and a headset.
Have fun!
Where's the headset I think it might be changed
Looks really good.
both device and cases look so sexy
I think i will be getting the battery case.
Phone will still be thinner then my Note 4 and wireless backcase, plus it protects the phone.
However the screen...
I need to mod the clearview case with the battery case haha
That second case look pretty cool. I'll probably get something like that
I like the pass through cases on the top, but I want to see what the back looks like.
All who buy a S6/Edge will need a Power Bank
Will the Samsung Power bank do a Fast Charge ?
I dont see it on any website yet
so i got few here which might be useful

i saw it at samsung .com/shop like 2 weeks ago for 69.99$, said it' coming soon. now they removed it !
maybe it' not ready yet? or cancelled?
or maybe they want you to buy the fake leather case instead .
Looks like it got pulled from the website for some reason. My guess is mfg issues causing too long of a set back to keep it as "coming soon"
Wish they have accessories on Launch of the Phones
they always delay it and loose sales
I want the New Power Bank, Cover & a extra ac adapter
When are these being released? In particular the powerpacks?
I can't can't find them anywhere?

Wsken Mini2 Magnetic LED USB Sync and Fast Charger Cable.

Just recived the little gem in the mail yesterday took about a week for shipping from China to arrive. And so far I'm using with my otterbox symmetry case and it doesn't protrude the case and no more fumbling to get the charger in correctly. And it works great with fast charging and File transferring from pc
Will post more pictures later if anyone want to see any.

I'll order a few just for the heck of it and pass them out to some friends. I'll let you know of their feedback.
Thanks.
I bought something similar from Wish.com a year ago, it worked great but it eventually killed the charging circuit on my Galaxy Tab 3. I'm a little nervous about using electronics from discount websites from China.

I ordered mine from Amazon.
They might be originating in China though... but these days a lot of things are unfortunately.
I used one for a short time, didn't last long. The magnetic part didn't hold the best, although it held better than I thought it would to be honest but it still wasn't enough. The LED on it was extremely bright and bothered me at night. Also they're a pain to remove if you go to plug into a computer with a different cable or want to use the Gear VR.
In my opinion I'd be more interested in a case that converted our connectors to USB-C so you still get the ability to reverse the connections while at the same time is a good hold if it's slightly tugged.

Question S21 ultra back replacement

Hi everyone,
Unfortunately my phone dropped and the back glass cover and primary camera glass are shattered.
I can change it by myself (from years i can repair my phones without sending it and wait days and days) but now i cannot find any replacement parts on the net.
Can anyone help me please?
The part is like this: https://www.samsung-parts.net/epages/Samsung-Parts.sf/en_GB/?ObjectID=1212377
Thank you!
You sadly will need to go through samsung or see if you can still add protection plan to carrier and then do claim few days after since you damaged it so early into launch. All the parts are going into devices still and nobody is parting out phones yet. Cant even get replacement sim trays etc from china yet.

Thank you so much for the reply. The only thing to do now is turn off the phone, turn on my note20u, and using it until in my supplier sites show on stock the replacement

On the site that i linked in the first post.
Original parts and accept paypal.
For me here in Italy is the best and reliable site
ItsTek on Amazon store I have found to be very good before with genuine Samsung parts. Bought two S20 and S20 Ultra rear glass from them before. I think you'll struggle for parts though on the S21 until at least a few more months.

Hey,
Thought I would pipe up and say I dropped my S21U after 5 days of having it ([email protected], i know) but got a replacement back from these guys: https://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/fonejoy - genuine part and quite easy to fix yourself if you have patience.
