I'm really surprised at how light the phone feels in the otter box case. It's lighter than my Note 5.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] jellybear456:
Update on the Skinomi screen protectors:

I got the "Case Friendly" version, went on fine and feels fine! A bit of drag with the S Pen, but still works great. It is barely enough to cover the edges of the screen if placed perfectly. I may be upgrading to the "full coverage" version since swiping from left to right to get to some menus in apps causes me to hit the edge of the protector film and I'm afraid of it peeling up over time.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] yarnsrj:
How careful were you with the wet application process? Did you have to wipe off solution near the buttons?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] jellybear456:
Not all that careful to be honest. I installed a similar protector on my s7 edge and a friend's s8+ so I had a good idea of what to expect.

Just be sure to dry everything off after installation is complete and it should be fine. Also, remember, this phone is water resistant so this small amount of liquid shouldn't do any damage whatsoever!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] paynedave315:
Does anyone have an invite for me for round 2 of the note 8s please.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] QuickStriker:
Ideally I would want one too but I think both of us are out of luck pal. Invites and referral are rarely given to strangers, mostly to family and friends. That being said, good luck to both of us!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] paynedave315:
I was in when I got my note 3 then I haven't received a device since then. However I get surveys every time but no luck here.[emoji17]
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Sammyfan89:
I decided to try the Liquipel Ghost Guard liquid screen protector. I applied it to the front and back. I bought it from my local same club for $20. The perk is that there is a $100 guarantee. So if you do break your screen they will cover up to $100 of the repair. I'm still under the 24 hour mark, but so far I like it.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] yarnsrj:
Sorry, I cannot give out any more referrals.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Cloud9000:
did you get a survey for the Note 8? If so you don't need a referral. You just need to wait a while longer. There were some people who took the S8 survey last April that got passed over the first time but got emailed 2nd week of Aug by Samsung asking if they were still interested and were accepted for the S8.

If its on average 2 rounds every 3 months if you don't get in then after the 2nd round you might hear something around December-January.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] jellybear456:
Love how this thread dies once people get their devices?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] SkyZero101:
Do you know if not getting in for round 1 completely takes you out of the running in round 2?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Cloud9000:
That would be something past participants or Joehen would likely know. I assume not. My theory is that if you satisfied the survey conditions(answers) which would allow you to be accepted in round 1 but due to inventory or whatever other reason did not get one you could get a future email at some point for round 2 or later.

This was sent back in Aug for those who did the S8 April survey. They did initial acceptances early May for some people but its seems others still waiting did not get any emails until early Aug.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] 1Zero3forlife:
I got the full protector on from Skinomi. Fit is great, fit perfect under my case. The touch is perfect and the pen glides across it perfectly from side to side.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] yarnsrj:
I went with the IQ SHIELD, same as Skinomi, I'm my opinion, but I have had great success with IQ SHIELD on my Gear Fit 2. I too bought the case friendly version 2 variant and it is flush with my Otter box

I went with the IQ SHIELD, same as Skinomi, I'm my opinion, but I have had great success with IQ SHIELD on my Gear Fit 2. I bought the case friendly version 2 variant and it fits flush with my "Faux Otter box" case. A small lift on bottom corner, but I'm ok with it. The full drying time is needed for almost all the bubbles to dry out and leave a fairly smooth feel. I will probably buy the full coverage variant next time so the case can completely cover it. Overall, very impressed with the results. With display on, it's nice and clear.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] jellybear456:
After using my S Pen with my phone for the past few days, I am beginning to notice lines in the screen protector from dragging the S Pen. It isn't noticeable when the screen is on, but in direct light they are very visible.

Just be sure not to press too hard! It seems as if the skinomi protectors are rather soft and pliable.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] power_book:
You can also change S-pen tip to more softer or harder one (included in the box).

Just got unlock code from AT&T after requesting code yesterday.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] jellybear456:
I didn't realize they were different types, I thought they were just replacements. I'll give it a shot.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] power_book:
They included one rubbery tip with bunch of plasticky ones at least for my previous two Note devices.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] 1Zero3forlife:
Ok, where did you go for the unlock code?

Thanks
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] power_book:
https://www.att.com/deviceunlock/?#/

It is a fully paid phone, there should be no problem getting the code.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Saketh123:
Just got my tmobile note 8 unlocked using the unlock app. Use Twitter to chat with their support as they know what they're talking about. They'll get your job done. Btw, anyone worried about issues with insights of you unlocking your phone..... chill. It's legal and safe and also I previously I had unlocked my att note 5 and used it with tmobile within 6 months insights contract. I had 0 issues, and in fact i emailed them and they replied "As long as the phone is on some network and actively used, you're fine!". Wonder that's why i got picked again :). DON'T take this seriously as if you mess up... I'm not responsible. Proceed at you own will......
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] xpvolume:
same, any news on it?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] scorpio_bpl86:
you got the note 8 unlocked .:0

T-mobile is the worst for unlocking because they do that with their app

and if it is not bought through them ( that is what they told me ) they will not unlock . like from their website

all my previous insight phones with T-mobile had this Issue

I wan't selected for this insights so don't know if things have changed
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Joehen873:
Thats funny because i saw other people say they were told if they unlocked their device they wpuld be disqualified from the program and that was with the s7

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] jellybear456:
Have not gotten any notification for my Gear 360 yet. Still waiting. It says it should ship the week of October 1st..so we'll see.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] 1Zero3forlife:
I just got the email for the 360 camera shipping. Will deliver Friday!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] v3n0msn4k3:
Same! Excited.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Saketh123:
Same here :)
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] jellybear456:
Yep! 360 on its way!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] power_book:
On FedEX truck for delivery today.

EDIT.

Just received. it works great with phone.

GEAR 360 Mac application is not working with Mac OS High Sierra.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] joshua14:
Has anyone tried writing down what survey answers are most effective that got them accepted to the program? For instance I try to not select strongly agree for having to have the newest best device that all my friends have or however it was worded, I think that might even be two questions combined, but since it's a 12 month study you don't want to imply you're not going to be using the phone as much during the 2nd half of the study or something. Obviously there were other questions that I'd answer strongly agree instead of dropping back a few towards neutral. I've been successful in getting a galaxy s5 when they 1st contacted me about the program after buying 2 new s5s thru the AT&T next payment plan & requesting to be notified of promotions by Samsung. Then I got 2 new s6 edge plus after sending multiple emails from different gmail accounts I have for CoC. This time for the note 8 study they contacted me at each email I was accepted thru for the s6s for survey invitations. I'm hoping both get picked for 2nd rounds tho as 1 is for me & 1 for my wife. So I don't know whether to try spamming participation requests thru my other emails or not.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] jellybear456:
Keep waiting it out for the second round. Joehen says there will be a second round and he has been quite accurate with everything else regarding the program.

To your point about the 12 month study- if you agree to participate in the program you are agreeing to participate for 12 months. Through their app they are able to tell who is using the device and who isn't, so if you do not use the phone for a period of time they will contact you and request that you send the phone back or pay full price. At least that is how I understood their agreement.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] joshua14:
Yes, I understand that part but I'm wondering if the survey question answers correlate to them thinking you're worthy of putting in 12 months of solid use instead of trying to get a newer phone & only putting "enough" use on the study device as to avoid getting said notice to ship the phone back. I've seen people say they've done that before on here. Got a newer phone & only used the insights phone as a secondary device instead of primary to use the piss out of it like they want. And I'm hoping patiently on round 2. Lol
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] scorpio_bpl86:
me too
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] sapps:
Ugh. Didn't even think to check that this package would require a signature. Now I'll have to go to the FedEx office tomorrow or wait until Monday. First world problems....How are we expected to handle them??
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] yarnsrj:
FedEx in my area it's the worst. I took off 3 hours off from work to wait for a package that was out for delivery from 7:00 a.m.... They came 10 minutes after I had to leave...at 5:10 p.m.! The next day I called FedEx customer service to request my package be left at my leasing office instead of trying a third delivery because they always come early evening. That was the only way I got my package.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Saketh123:
Same here :( It's not working, I hope they update the application.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] exhibit_II_user:
Any more cases and/or screen protectors that people love for their Note8?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] emkay5775:
Can someone please supply me with a referral? It would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Cobdust:
Any news on second round?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] scorpio_bpl86:
only [MENTION=4997760]Joehen873[/MENTION] might know about this

I am waiting for the second round too
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] bestlands:
What case and tempered glass did you order, im trying to find a good one for my phone.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Saketh123:
Get a spigen tough armor ($13 ~ $15) and Whitestone dome ( $50 If budget is not an issue). They work perfectly for me and I have no issues with peeling. It's a water proof screen protector too, I've used it in the pool and had 0 issues. If $50 is on the higher side then get spigen or skinomi. ($6.99 ~ $14.99) [emoji106]

Warning: I tested 3 spigen cases (Tough armor, Neo Hybrid and Ultra Hybrid) they work perfectly with Whitestone dome with enough gap between case and protector. Please check before buying it, as it's $50 and may go waste if it peels up with incompatible cases [emoji111][emoji106]
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] bestlands:
Have you seen any other good or relative good tempered glass cases. I don't plan on using any in water or using the water proof feature on my phone i just want to have good enough protection, spen functionality, and no touching sensitivity issues.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Saketh123:
Try olixar or Zagg glass. These are the ones that last without falling off or accumulating dust under them. They may be on the expensive side, but they are worth the investment as they last the duration of your phone, if you are reasonably careful. If you are ready spend $30 and above, stretch out a little more and get the White stone. It has full adhesive unlike other options. [emoji106]
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] saurabhrupji:
Anyone knows if there will be a round 2 for the Note 8 ? I want the Note 8 but don't want to buy if insights going to send 1.

P.s. I have submitted the form but no response yet.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] davidw8818:
Here's an update on the dome glass w spigen neo case

https://www.yogile.com/cf1lxb5j/21m/share/?vsc=NTVmMmQ1Y

Sorry can't upload pics due to file size

So far it's the best temper glass I got the note 8. U guys be the judge. Tips: install in a steamy room.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] exhibit_II_user:
I don't have a screen protector yet, but my favorite two cases for the Note8 so far are the Speck Presidio Grip and the UAG Monarch...
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Saketh123:
How is the screen holding up? I heard the note 8 and S8 series attract micro scratches like sugar and ants [emoji23]. Mine does have a couple of micro scratches on the back due to dust in between the case [emoji852]. I really have to hunt for them in bright light to notice them.

---------- Post added at 12:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:41 AM ----------

Why is a steamy room better? Does it help In keeping out dust and lint ?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] exhibit_II_user:
I've been treating it with kid gloves so far, and everything looks good at this point. I'd like to get a screen protector on it soon though...maybe the Zagg?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Saketh123:
I'd suggest buying a dome glass instead of Zagg. They're the same $$$ so full adhesive option is better anyday [emoji111]. Also dome doesn't collect dust under the screen and it's water proof (If you use it in rain or pool)
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] pre4speed:
I can verify a steamy room works WONDERS for installing screen protectors. It is the only way I install now. It helps to lower the dust and micro particles floating in the air that are invisible to the naked eye. I make sure to let the bathroom get completely steamed, like a sauna. Then follow directions for installation. Even wet installation protectors benefit from steam room applications.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] scorpio_bpl86:
i thought they will be asking about referrals -_-
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] yarnsrj:
Yeah it's just the survey for current participants to see if we like and use certain features like Bixby.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Saketh123:
Lol, your expression when you saw that email [emoji23]. You must've been like "Yay! Referrals" but then it ended up being a usage survey. There's nothing worse than that disappointment. [emoji106][emoji23]
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] joshua14:
No word on round 2 yet? Fingers crossed.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] bpopilek:
So, I have a quick question regarding the Samsung insights program that I am hoping someone may know the answer to. I currently have a Galaxy 8 plus that I received for this program back in April. I have had nothing but problems with this phone, and the only solution that I can get is they want me to send the phone in for warranty work which will take upwards of two weeks for me to get a phone again. The problem is, I am on call with my position at work and I cannot be without a phone. If I go get a new phone from Verizon, and send this one off, is there any way that they will know there is no cellular service if I choose not to put this phone back on my account? So far I have hated this phone, it is buggy, crashes and locks up all the time, and the battery life is horrible. I was hoping that I could just leave it on wifi-only when it came back to me from warranty repair without them knowing any different. I'm just looking for some advice. Thanks!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] yarnsrj:
You might want to pop in the SIM card maybe 1 or 2 days out of the week. I do recall seeing a similar question a while back.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] usuki:
I cracked my s8+ screen and it was off for over a month. No emails from insight team. They even gave me codes couple of times to activate insight app after phone was repaired. Generally, got reply back within 24 hours.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Saketh123:
I have plans to travel abroad for 3-4 months for work.... Will that be a problem? I unlocked my note 8 from T-Mobile as soon as I got it so that's not an issue. Will I have any trouble from insights team?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] usuki:
It shouldn't be as long as you are connected to internet, I think.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Saketh123:
It's funny how people are so active during the selection wave and once they receive the device, it's more like a desert with mirage ( Eager people waiting for new info) . [emoji23]
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] pappy53:
What is the phone number on the Insights app?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] jellybear456:
They do not give a phone number. Only the contact email.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] pappy53:
I guess the Galaxy S9 program will kick off in March.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] scorpio_bpl86:
and so will this thread :D
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] DublinLarry:
And the most common question will be "How do I get a referral?"

:p:silly::laugh:
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] pappy53:
You're probably right!

:laugh:

But, I'll be glad when those questions show up because that will mean that the invites have started.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] FuMMoD:
Third year trying to get into the program lol. Wish me luck. I always get the application but never accepted
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] pre4speed:
I haven't even gotten the survey since the S6 one. I probably screwed up my chances since I didn't use it as my DD.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] phishfleck:
Just FYI, the referral emails have gone out to existing program participants
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] sapps:
Yep, just got my request asking for 3 referrals. My family is super excited to see if they get in.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] FuMMoD:
If anyone wants to throw one my way I wouldn't mind.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] DuMKaSD:
If anyone cares to share a referral, I'd really appreciate it!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cheetablaze:
Yup, just got the email as well... Guess I'll jump back on here and hang out for awhile.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] patt2k:
If anyone wants to send a referral I also would appreciate one. Thanks :)
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] usuki:
Has anyone done self referral with different email ID?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] PagedAtol15:
I would really really appreciate it if anyone could spare one referral for me. If not, I understand but I have been a Samsung Galaxy user since the original S1 and I currently use a Samsung note 8. I would love to be able to try and get referred into the program if anyone can just spare one referral. I would really really appreciate it and I will give back if I get in. If I get in, I will give my 3 referrals each year to people in this forum so that more people get a chance like I might've.

Thanks
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] killerz298:
Radio silence from them again.... oh well. If someone wants to throw one my way let me know!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Cloud9000:
If anyone would be so kind to send a referral my way I would really appreciate it.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cantstoprobert:
Referrals

Did anyone else that participated in the Insights Program for the Note 8 NOT get any referrals?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Saketh123:
Same here, got selected for note 8 and using it currently. No referrals yet....
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cantstoprobert:
Insights

If anyone wants to shoot a referral my way, it would really help me out. I have a tech YouTube channel called Mr Rob Bot.

If you want to, go check it out, the phone would be unboxed there. Anyways, if anyone is willing to spare one, please PM me, I would appreciate it TONS.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] joshua14:
Good thing I checked this today. I almost missed the survey for 3 referrals. The phone I never removed the insights app from is the only email I got that referral email for. I've already filled out 3 names, emails & numbers in the survey so no I don't have any referrals to give out. It doesn't work that way anymore.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] killerz298:
Someone PM me saying they have a referral for me however they need some information. The user has no post history (but account signed up in 2011). I'm appreciative yet a bit suspicious. Below is the info he requested. Can you guys confirm this is what is needed to refer someone?

Full name

Email

Phone #

Carrier

Present phone manuf

Gender

Age
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cantstoprobert:
Yes

I think it may be past the deadline for referrals, but otherwise...

Yeah man, but dont give out anything more personal like your address or any credit card info. And if you can get one for me that’d be great too ?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] usuki:
I am on s8 and got referral request for note 8, 2/3 got selected but neither received referral request this time. However, I did, so again referred family members.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] yarnsrj:
Replying to Killerz...

That "actually is all the information" Samsung insights is requesting for whom ever is referred to the program.

They are requesting all that info in the event you're selected so they can have the device assigned to the name, email, and carrier of the referred person.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] exhibit_II_user:
Also using the Note8, and not referral-worthy :(
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] scorpio_bpl86:
the referral period ended last friday
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] pappy53:
I wonder when invites will start.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] DublinLarry:
Just got mine :)

So did one of my new referrals.

Samsung S9/S9-Plus options...
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] joshua14:
Same here, fingers crossed! Those who answer these survey questions do you say strongly agree with mostly everything? Or do you try and select based on not trying to be over the top with every category?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cheetablaze:
All 3 surveys received, now just gotta wait.

I don't think the answers matter, it's all about how many phones have they, what carriers and who gets lucky being selected on their random sampling. Just answer truthfully and good luck!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] exhibit_II_user:
I didn't receive a survey about the S9/S9+...instead I got a survey on what factors would be important to me in a future phone purchase. I'm in the middle of a Note8 one year period, however, so i guess I wouldn't qualify for the S9 anyway. Did anyone else get the future phone purchase survey?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] volleysapps:
My guess would be, those email addresses associated with a current study, ie. S8 or note 8, would not be eligible for an s9 study.

My wife and I are on the s8 and note8 study respectively. We both received email surveys asking about our future buying needs. My wife received the email last week asking for referrals. 2 of the 3 received the s9 survey yesterday. I'm thinking there was a spelling mistake in the email address for the one that didn't get it. :(
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] usuki:
Ditto as yours..
