[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] kisrita:
I purchased both. I like the cover that doesn't cover the bezel. The other one ripped after a couple of weeks, in exactly the same spot as someone else posted. I'm going to take a chance on the magnetic covers. If I can get two years out of this tablet I will be surprised. At the rate Android tablets have been improving over the last two years, is really hard not upgrading once per year. I still have my two year old Galaxy Tab 10.1, but it's barely usable now. I don't expect this tablet to fare better.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] sputnik767:
The first one. I do not like the 2nd one because it goes around the bezel. Like I said before, the magnets do not come in contact with the screen, not even close, and keep in mind that this is part of the actual design of the device. I use the stylus for writing every day and I have seen no ill effects. A good rule of thumb is to take these alarmist posts on the enternet with a grain of salt. I have a feeling that samsung engineers that designed these tablets do know what they are doing when it comes to magnetic interference.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] p107r0:
I carry my Note I in Zenus case, which has a small magnet in the middle of the back (used for keeping the vertical stand leg in place).

After a year the magnet had no permanent effects on the device, however it affects stylus writing accuracy/thickness in the area directly above it. But, after removing device from the case everything works as it should.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] Grogck:
The first I listed looks MUCH preferred due to thinness (not going around the bezel.) Agreed on that being the preferred choice due to general usability. Anything else and we're suddenly carrying around a small book and negating some of the portability of the device IMO.

I just shelled out $400 (Samsung - please avoid the rush and go ahead and lower the price to the deserved $299-$329 to help sales and 3rd-party-support) and am still wanting to play it safe with my new gadget. I typically use a non-book style TPU case around the house, but want a good, slim case for business/meeting purposes. Pulling the trigger based on your feedback and cost/risk/reward. If you don't hear negative feedback from me in this thread beyond the next week or so that means I'm not having any issues.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] hertsjoatmon:
I've found the oposite, with the custom ROM and kernel support from this site my TF101 is still going strong (released april 2011). I can run most modern games on it like Real Racing 3 etc. The only reason I'm getting a newer tablet is for drawing with and portability.

I didnt meen to be scare mongering when I started this thread. I had just seen posts about it on older note forums where people had the device for a while and was hoping people could ease my concerns. I'm still on the fence though. I imagine that the official case would have a magnet that is just strong enough to trigger the desired effect. I still worry that some 3rd party case will have much stronger magnets though and while I'm now convinced that no perminent damage could be caused, I dont have access to a degausing wand should part of the digitizer become magnetised through extended exposure.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] sputnik767:
I am actually happy that you started this thread, and I was not referring to you specifically regarding my "alarmist posts" comment. Your thread prompted me to look into this potential issue further, as well as to actually analyze my magnetic case to see if the magnets come in contact with the screen. I've seen a lot of very alarmist posts in forums for other devices such as the Note II regarding magnets, and I don't feel that many of them accurately represent the issue. From what I can tell so far, magnets do distort the action of the pen when in direct contact with the screen while you are writing. When you remove the magnetic field, everything should go back to normal. I am not sure if the permanent damage claims can actually be substantiated. And most importantly, Samsung designed this device to work with magnets. As long as your case utilizes magnets in a safe manner (as in the way Samsung intended it), you should see no ill effects.

---------- Post added at 05:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:46 AM ----------

Assuming the quality control on those cases is uniform and the magnets on your case are in the same position as mine, you're not going to see any issues. I think I'm going on 3 weeks now with that case, and a week earlier with another magnetic case. Using my tablet daily I have not seen any issues.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] eyecon82:
I also think it's a myth

I've had the official book cover case which does have a magnet in it and no issues..

please provide proof before making claims like this

All ipad flip covers have magnets in them and they haven't had any issues
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] ExploreMN:
How many iPads have a digitizer? I believe that is where the magnets wreck havoc in the things I've read.

Personally, for as expensive as this tablet is, I can live without that stupid wake-lock feature that sucks anyway. Bought me a case with no magnet just in case.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] eyecon82:
My lenovo x230 tablet has a digitizer and I've been using a sleeve with a magnet clasp for years. Never had an issue

You are missing out on a great feature of auto wake /lock by being paranoid

Why would samsung even make an official case with a magnet if it would mess it up? They spend a lot of money on research and I'm sure it would have came up in testing
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] intelliriffer:
Yes, the magnets cause issues, some are software (as in 4.2.2 firmware) related and some Tech constraints.

1: S-Pen: It uses EMR (electro magnetic resonance) technology and the Gauss Fields/Produced by Magnets in very close proximity cause major issues with pens accuracy. I don't have the original book cover, but an aftermarket one, that also had a closing flap and that also had magnets (that i got rid of) and those did wreck havoc. If you put your back cover behind the tablet and then try to use s-pen over the area that the magnet covers. you might notice some

inaccuracies with s-pen (non straight lines,dead spots, etc ). Though Samsung official cases might have weaker magnets or internal shielding and effect might not be as prominent or noticeable at all, as even with my aftermarket one, the front panel magnet does not seem to affect the s-pen. But the magnet is the closing flap/latch do affect.

Could this cause permanent damage : In long time storage with cover on perhaps it can, if some metallic component inherits some magnetism. Very Unlikely for an average user but still possible. Not worth getting paranoid about a bit.

Here is more info on Wacom Tech : http://www.wacom-components.com/english/technology/emr.html

Note: Samsung might even have a warning somewhere about the magnetic aftermarket covers.

2> In Current 4.2.2 Firmware(CSC : OXA/Germany). The Alarm refuses to sound with the magnetic cover on. Magnetic cover forcing the screen close, for whatever reason is also forcing that alarm to not sound. I as well as other user have had this issue. (this is more of a software issue, but an issue nevertheless.)

Both of the above issues I have experienced first hand and I could care less if they are myth or not, fact is that they caused problems for me, and few other users.

I still use that cover and it still causes the auto wake/locking,But I am cautious how I use it and needed to rip out some magnets out of it.

Hope these provide enough of facts for you. :)

(Note: I am implying issues and not damage and mainly so with aftermarket stuff )
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] eyecon82:
Thank you

Perhaps magnets in 3rd party cases are too strong.

Another reason why not to buy third party cases of the s pen is affected by magnetic fields
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] AddiKTi:
It totally depends on the screen display. With LCD displays, the magnet myth is a fact, with LED it doesn't apply.

Only saying these based on my own experience :)
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] ExploreMN:
Seems like people are very confused about this. It's NOT the screen, it's the DIGITIZER that is affected by this. You know, the thing the stylus relies on to work.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] kendive:
Yes they are... Also the magnet when closed and turning off the screen is not hurting anything.

It's the case with lots of magnets and then you open your case and flip the cover to the back and all them magnets in the back of the note 8 are maybe affecting the s-pen and digitizer.

I have this case has one magnet and I have no problems at all

Keep it simple :p
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] hendryliew:
Keep using

I am using Samsung book cover one month ago and have no problem either on screen or s-pen but i am not sure the effect about other party magnet case. I believed samsung did their research on the magnetic effect on the note 8 device. i will keep using it unless there has a proof that samsung case causing the device malfunction. ;)
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] sputnik767:
This is the exact thing I've been seeing with my 3rd party case. Nothing permanent, but with the cover flipped back, I lose accuracy over a very small part of the screen. Everything is normal if I don't flip the cover all the way back. Nothing to worry about with magnets.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] mit0824:
Do not buy a case with a magnet in it!!

Never buy a flip case with a magnet in it! A friend gave me a finite iPhone 6 plus case and it had four magnets in the case and within one day the screen on my phone started not to work at all and I had to spend $175.00 to my insurance to get a new phone. I was so pissed! So please take my advice and DON'T BUY A CASE WITH A MAGNET IN IT!
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] eureka9092000:
Ok, this thread is 3 years old. Has anyone got screen damage after use magnetic case after 3 years? We should have a lot of proof by now.. Anyone? note 8 specifically.. note other brand or model plz..
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] CCallahan:
I think it depends on the type of case and how strong the magnet is. I've been using a flip case w/magnet on the Note 8 N5110 for years now with zero issues. However, the magnet is not used to secure the flip cover closed but just to turn the screen on and off so is not that strong.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] omeara_darragh:

Hello, I'm not quite sure I understand your post.

Does your speaker sometimes fail?

If that's the case, it could be that the headphone jack is failing and some have reported that inserting the headset several times dislodges the internal switch so the speaker returns to normal.

Or, it could be that the speaker loosen a little so the contacts fail. If so, please follow my tutorial. (My model is a MDA2, XDA2).

Follow this link to the tutorial.

[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] cruisin-thru:
Yes, try inserting and removing the headset a few times. Sometimes a little squirt of switch gear after will keep it from sticking.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fra881:
it already happened in the past, but it was some time that did not. I have revolution 26 (jb 4.1.2) + boeffla, no undervolt. I didn't change anything since when it worked well, it just starts to do it some periods. I also tried to change battery but nothing solved.

the problem is, when I turn off the screen sometimes battery crashes down as displayed in the graph, it's already the second consequent night it does that, even if it's offline with gentle alarm set (that obviously doesn't play). last evening it happened even with the phone not in flight mode e without alarm set, so I updated rom and kernel to try to solve but tonight it happened again, with consequent sleep through the alarm time.

what can I do?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Forum rules state that you must post in English. If you struggle to write in english, still try and put your language translation underneath.

The graph shows the phone shut down. It is not the battery at issue, but the phone. The phone crashed adn this used up a lot of battery. It could have been stuck on an operation such as writing to NAND or Boot loop.

Please add English to your post. I canot read it.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fra881:
another detail: my gs3 always makes 2 "turn screen off sound" when I turn the screen off. I don't know why. Anyway, I seem to remember that when the problem comes out the phone has made only one sound at the previous screen turn off.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fra881:
also I use swiftkey but it just started (same time as the battery problem) to load the original keyboard everytime I reboot the phone. maybe it's just a coincidence, but maybe not..
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
I think we're looking at a factory reset
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fra881:
tonight it happened also if I left the phone on charge

A couple of questions:

1) should I try something (another modem, deactivating juicedefender or else) before factory reset?

2) after factory reset, should I avoid to install/flash things like my actual modem (though successfully used by a lot of people), boeffla kernel, juice def or else?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Factory reset and install as little as possible
[Galaxy S III General] andr3.be:
Dear all,

First of all, sorry if I do some gramatical errors when I write in english ... English isn't my default language ;)

After have used 3 iPhones (3GS, 4 & 4S), I've decided to left the Apple's smartphone. Reason? Reason is very simple, after doing the update to iOS 6.1.2, my wifi button is became greyed and still greyed :( I try to discuss with Apple to swap my iPhone but no change ... In Belgium, the warranty for Apple is ONE year and following european regulations, the warranty should be at least 2 years!!!

So I decide to change the rule and break the wall ... After a benchmark of the market (S3, S3 4G, (future) S4, HTC One, Z, etc.) I choose the S3 4G.

Ok, no problem to change the world when using natively Google ... Stop the iPhone, put the SIM into the S3 4G GT-I9305 and let's go.

After the first period of excitement a bug appears ... some time the S3 don't ring when incoming call came ...

First part of the solution, change the SIM to a newest. Conclusion: better signal from the Proximus network (4G).

After 2-3 weeks using the native Samsung Android version (4.1.2), I investigate to flash my S3.

So, because I'm using a Mac, Odin is not a good idea.

Based on this forum, I decide to follow the steps below:

1) Backup IMEI through a Windows PC

2) Download directly from Cyanogemod site: Clockwork Mod Recovery, Heimdall, CM 10.1 and Google Apps

3) Upload to the SDCard of my S3 the CM 10.1 and Google Apps zip files

4) Using Heimdall, I flashed veeeeery quickly CWM without problem

5) Reboot and go to CWM menu to wipe and install CM and Google

So, as from past saturday my S3 is working on CM 10.1 Android 4.2.2.

First result: The fluidity and the daily confort is better with CM than native Samsung firmware.

Just a "bug" ... incoming calls make no sound by vibrations yes ... following this forum, I've maybe a problem with my MP3 ringtone. So, I'm using a native ringtone and waiting for a non ringing incoming call ;)

A great thanks to Cyanogenmod and XDA to provide a very profesional experience based on native Android.

Kind regards,

Andr3.be

your phone is in factory mode! try this

you must be rooted.

using root explorer or file explorer or what else, go to efs/imei folder, and make a file called "keystr" (without " ") (it probably missing)

open "keystr" file and write "on" (without " ") set permission of the file (all ticked), then save

now open file "factorymode" in efs/factoryApp directory, it probabely says "off", change to "on" (yes "on" is the correct setting to turn it off), then save
