Hi! I keep getting emails from that company based in Germany called "synapsy", they offer to distribute and manage my icon packs, and I just wonder if anyone of you got into some agreement with them, or even heard about them? here's copy of the email they sent me:

I just received the same message. I have yet to find anything.
Synapsy not paying developers
Hey saw your post, I found on this games news site that they were being sued and not paying developers.
http://thegamingpost.com
They posted the story, I got the same emails for every app I have in google play.
When I contact Google Support about the issue I was told they were taking appropriate legal action against Synapsy.
So from what I can see I'd say dont touch them with a ten foot pole.
Also my friend Rob said that when he published his game there and he made the benchmark of $200 Euro in the account, They told him he is due for a payment, But he wont get it until they (Synapsy) Gets the money from the MNO aka Carrier i.e. Telstra etc.
Its been 64 days and he hasn't been paid.
So no I would say its a bad deal all the way around, And these dudes is dirty getting U.S. Developers to publish with them and not pay them, It is just wrong.
Maybe the FTC or the government will step in, Or maybe this company is suing them and Google will join them, I don't know.
But it doesnt look good for them.
I knew there's something fishy with them, I wasn't going to let them distribute anything anyway
no problem

UK customers are being treated shockingly and appallingly by Samsung compared to other countries in regards to not being offered any compensation for the recall of the Note 7
We already have the disadvantage of paying a higher price for Samsung products
Denied the Galaxy Note 5 in 2015
Denied the launch of Samsung Pay
Delayed launches of new releases before other countries
And now being denied any sort of compensation for the double recall of the Galaxy Note 7. Despite other countries like the USA receiving $100 for the inconvenience.
In the UK we have not received:
Any cash compensation
Any compensation for loss of money due to buying accessories
Any discount for the replacement Galaxy S7 Edge that is offered by Samsung
What we did receive:
A patronising and poorly worded email, that implied the greatest gift Samsung could offer to it's disadvantaged customers was a refund.
Something that Samsung would be legally obliged to do in any case.
The only way to get what we deserve is to complain officially to Samsung.
So, I am here to help you:
There's an easy and efficient way to do this, completely free and powered by the trusted UK consumer rights guru Martin Lewis's 'Money Saving Expert' Website and the tool there called RESOLVER. (links below) You simply fill in details of your complaint (the tool will advise on what to say), it took me 5 minutes. It will automatically post it to the correct address that needs to receive the complaint. It will notify you of any response and if no response is forthcoming will then progress to the next level of complaint right up to the board of Directors. Your case will be filed, time stamped and documented for you to refer to at any time in a dossier. Once again this is completely FREE and from a highly trusted respectable and successful consumer rights website.
It's really easy to use, requires a quick registration so that you can access your cases.
Here is the link: http://www.resolver.co.uk/
My complaint was worded as follows:
Dear Customer Services,
Reference:
Samsung Galaxy Note 7 purchased directly from Samsung UK online. Compensation request due to the recall of the Samsung Galaxy Note 7.
Complaint:
Samsung have not offered any compensation to UK customers who have endured several weeks of a double recall of the Galaxy Note 7. It has been observed that other countries including but not limited to North America have been offered $100 compensation.
The recall is compulsory, in that Samsung is crippling the Note 7 via OTA software patches to the phone purchased by the customer and forcing the customer to return it. This will be the second incidence of recall and with it comes a great deal of inconvenience, loss of enjoyment, financial loss and overall stress. Samsung have offered absolutely zero compensation and this is wholly unacceptable.
To action this I would like you to either offer a cash compensation in line with other countries, or offer a heavily discounted alternative replacement phone that is as near equivalent to the Galaxy Note 7 (for example, the Galaxy S7 Edge).
I look forward to a response within 7 days of this correspondence.
Please reply to my resolver email account as I would like to keep all of my communications in my personalised complaints case file.
Yours faithfully
I urge all UK customers that have had to endure this fiasco to spend 5-10 minutes doing what I did to get something for all the trouble caused.
Why should we be the under dog?
The more of us that submit complaints the more impact it will have.
I intend to make the press and tech websites aware of our actions if we do not get an appropriate response from Samsung
.
Done.

The manufacture is responsible for your losses so I would go with Samsung.
The category is "other" as you are complaining about customer service not the product in this instance.

Thanks for giving it a go too!

Done - borrowed most of your well-written note, and added some points about the particular messups around my original delivery etc.
Thanks for finding this site - it looks like a really useful way to pursue the issue. Hope something comes of it!
Very nicely done ..copy sent ..plus my other snotty email this morning
to add eve more insult to users in the UK who DID purchase.
those in India who only paid a deposit are getting treated better than us !!!
'For everyone who pre-booked the Note7 in India, the company is now offering the Galaxy S7 or the S7 edge instead. If you choose to go with either of these phones, you will be given a new Gear VR, Level U wireless stereo headset, and a $50 Oculus VR content voucher absolutely free. In addition to that you will also get one time screen replacement for free within 12 months of purchase.'
I don't know how likely this is, but is there at least a remote possibility that it's part of some broad, quiet effort to punish the UK over Brexit? If it is, it's definitely not right, but the thought has crossed my mind. Maybe I'm being paranoid, but there it is.
That said, good job on that, I hope you guys are successful in getting proper compensation!

No I really don't think that.
In the UK (and Europe) we have been the underdog well before BREXIT. Besides, we haven't actually left the EU yet! (Though it can't come soon enough - that's another topic elsewhere!)
Sadly, everyone blames everything on BREXIT - probably someone blames the weather we have had recently on it!
I been complaining hard on Twitter about the lack of consistency from facebook, Twitter and email.
Two started to get information, by email they started to complain about my abroad purchased of a dual SIM phone and how I have to discuss with them even though I was offered a single sim variant before 2nd recall.
I have posted this chat to get an actual response. Getting quite angry with the run around

The online shop are not the best team to contact regarding the customer service failure. It's online support.
If they fob you off with 'cut and paste' replies then it goes further up the chain.

Just took mine back for a refund to CPW. Today is a sad day!
CPW Return UK
Just returned mine today also. Was asked for it headset box and all contents. I stood my ground and said while we stand here another potential customer will leave due to waiting in line (shop was busy . That soon surpassed the hurdle of accessories required rubbish. Then I was also refunded the £100 I paid upfront? No idea when I supposedly paid that shhh. Si now you ten days until beach to upgrade status happy days. The reason happy, is if noticed scratches staying to appear on the front left of screen. My two year old note 4 if still mint with no screen protection. So maybe something in the G5 screens??
The tried pushing inferior S7 edge as it's a safe phone and really the same! I said no thanks I'm due an upgrade not down grade and with outdated tech, at that.
Going short term sim only till S8+ arrives, hopefully sooner rather than later
The so called $100 allowance isn't really all that great a deal either. It is only for Samsung phones. Really, the only phone anybody will use it on is the s7. So Samsung is hoodwinking these folks...1. getting them off the complaint list 2. getting them locked into another 2 year agreement 3. Giving them 100 dollars bill credit for a phone that is about to be replaced, which is going to reduce any remaining inventory (great for Sammy) right before the release of the s8.
Go figure. Our situation isn't much better, and may be worse since the 100 dollars is acting as a incentive to make a poor choice.
EDIT: oh, and actually, the 100 dollar bill credit is in reality no benefit since contract phones are always inflated. You'll basically get the phone for $575 instead of $675. You could've had the same discount if the phone had been purchased via Amazon. They'll definitely keep the 100 dollar lower price point for the s7 once the new one rolls out. Nothing lost.
It is not just UK. The EU is a secondary market for Samsung. We all know that. Why - that I do not know.

I hear what you're saying. But I personally paid £740 direct to Samsung (around $900) so I had already been ripped off. I wanted it 3 days earlier so that rip off was actually quite a kick in the teeth for someone paying up front direct to their store.
So even $100 (£80) is a measly amount yes, but any amount is better than nothing. It would at least cover my loss for accessories.
If they can't give us £80 off the cost of the S7E then they don't care about customers.

Sent from my SM-N930F using Tapatalk
I don't want money off another Samsung phone. I want the £80+ refunded for accessories. I contacted amazon who tol me to go direct to the sellers. The sellers told me to return stuff and pay postage myself - 2 addresses given were in the USA so the postage would be far higher than the cost.
I also want my time paid for. At least 5 long phone calls, many emails, 2 galaxy note7 set ups, 2 note 4 set ups and a note 2 (changing to and from my other half who was having my old phone).
Discussion thread for all UK related news relating to the Samsung Galaxy Fold.
So far nothing from the major telcos.
You can however pre-register on the Samsung site:
https://www.samsung.com/uk/smartphones/galaxy-fold/
Video below showing the crease:
https://www.mirror.co.uk/tech/leaked-samsung-galaxy-fold-video-14169443
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RXcU-IzHw0w
From t3.com:
In the UK, the Fold will be available direct from Samsung or via EE as the exclusive network partner. Pre-orders go live on Friday April 26 ahead of the first Folds hitting shelves nationwide on Friday May 3, 2019. It'll cost £1,799 from Samsung while EE price plans will be announced at a later date.
EE... *Ray Liotta laughing meme*
USA pre-orders open tomorrow, so with any luck we'll see a proper press launch (which they promised for "early April")
According to a Verge interview with Kate Beaumont (director of product, services, and commercial strategy at Samsung UK), Samsung was supposed to have a full press event for the Fold in early April.
I wonder whether there have been some issues which have meant there are delays?
I registered for more info on the Samsung site and haven't heard anything, and I search for stories quite often, but it doesn't seem like there's been anything official since February other than a few country specific carriers which will be selling the phones.
Definitely missed the "early April" slot anyway.

Anyone knows if in UK is a dual sim version?
Yeah, I think it is single sim which is a no go for me.
Ah man, this means I need to sell my Galaxy S10 Plus. I'll preorder when the Fold is available to order and then sell my S10 Plus shortly afterwards.
