NewEgg Whitestone Dome Glass - Note 8

I can't comment directly on the Zagg InvisibleShield Glass Curve as I don't have one. But, If you look at the pictures on Zagg's website - they have the top and bottom coated with black. This is most likely where the glue is at. If you want a product like that - I would suggest you save your money and get the amFilm Note 8 Curved Glass as it's much cheaper. It has very tiny dot matrix to help with touch sensitivity (due to the entire glass not being glued). It's an excellent protection and product for the price ($11.99 USD).

My personal opinion is if your willing to spend that much at BestBuy and you have patience to take your time when applying the glue and the screen using Whitestone Dome - it's well worth the effort. I love my screen protection better than the original glass or my wife's amFilm curved glass.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] denisiel:
Thanks very much for the info and link, www.b0n3z.com! Wasn't sure if there was more than one model by Whitestone, much appreciated. Will go for Whitestone based on your rec. Thanks again!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] www.b0n3z.com:
Sounds good - and I would suggest you make sure your working on a level surface. I know it's called out in item 4 of this video - but I have seen other videos where the liquid moves to one side due to the surface not being level. It's really easy once you have one install under your belt. It's just the first time that may seem scary putting glue on your screen or balancing the movement of the liquid toward the center before pulling the tab for the glass.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] wepa:
How do you keep the glue from going in your top speaker on screen
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] www.b0n3z.com:
That's a really good question wepa. The liquid is thicker than water. But like water, it has surface tension when sandwiched between the original screen and Whitestone Dome Glass. Also because there is a very accurate amount of glue and on a level surface, its not going to further than the glass.

If your not familiar with surface tension with liquids (and I'm by no means an expert), think of when your trying to pour something and it flows down the side of the container instead of an arc.

Anyone know of a tempered glass that goes edge to edge?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] www.b0n3z.com:
Do you mean top to bottom or on all four sides. One issue with this is many cases would not work with this. So I don't know of any glass protection manufactures that will go edge to edge on all four sides or even on the two long sides.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] MACHEK:
At least side to side.i bought a luvviit one, and frankly I don't. It leaves the sides exposed by at least a 1/4 inch. I want something that covers the sides so I can see the curve. Right now to most this looks like a flat screen with this protector
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] www.b0n3z.com:
What case do you use on your phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] wepa:
You think whitestone will work with otterbox
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] www.b0n3z.com:
Which Otterbox? There is this video and others like it that might help. Just search Youtube.

I'm using a spigen case now I saw the video it says that commuter won't work that sucks because otterbox is the case for me

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] www.b0n3z.com:
For those watching videos from GravX - please keep in mind he didn't have the best install with the Whitestone Dome Glass. It looks like he wasn't on a level surface to begin with. Then the liquid glue is not centered in the middle before he removed the tab. Afterwards he moves the glass upward. The problem is now it's a bit too high on the phone which does make contact with certain cases he's reviewing. Sometimes he'll call this out. But for those that advance his videos, you may miss this information.

Mistake by GravX using the Galaxy Note 8 Best Tempered Glass
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Mike02z:
That case looks like an exact replica of the Spigen Tough Armor case. The video says it will not work with Dome Glass but I'm hoping it does if my install is better. I bought a Tech21 EVO but the corners look identical to the Spigen. My Dome Glass is waiting for me at home. I'll be installing tomorrow night.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] MACHEK:
I think my issue is I have a skin on my phone too so the case doesn't go further up then this.

how did you get a free otterbox?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] vadimo:
Is there one without dome edges? just flat section cover?

I am happy the way screen covers edges
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Xshooter726:
Has anyone found a tempered glass that has a perfect fit around the edges and is completely clear with no matrix dots?

Don't really care if it doesn't stick well just need it to be clear with a good fit. I'll be manually applying Loca clear clue to the screen just like the whitestone dome but don't feel like paying their $40 price for just the glass.,.

I got a samsung screen protector. It is what ever big red had in stock. So far so good.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] MACHEK:
I just got this one and for 8.99 I love it. Goes almost to the edge, can't see the dot matrix when it's on, and texting is perfect so far. It's got the black bars but like I said so far perfect.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] jerry43812:
I didn't read the whole thread.

Sam's club had the Zagg InvisibleShield protectors for 14.99 so I grabbed 2 and installed one on my wife's phone tonight. Went very well, looks good, and fits perfect with the Incipio case we picked up at Sam's Club too. Can't complain so far.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Deathbyillusion:
Probably works there or knows someone that works there. I know someone that works for Otterbox and they can give me anyones I want for free. The issue is I don't like my phones that bulky and worse I don't like the raised edges where your finger can't touch the edges of the screen.

I had the same issue on Amazon the tempered glass screen I got with it going around the edges is not case friendly. I found the best for me to get was this: Galaxy Note 8 Case [Crystal Clear],PHEZEN Anti-Scratch 360 Front and Back Full Body Protection Transparent Flexible TPU Bumper Case Soft Gel Rubber Skin Case For Samsung Galaxy Note 8, Clear https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075862QH5/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_yYIWzbFVP6WNZ

I know that it's not a tempered glass screen protector but I have liked it.

I found that with these edge screens it's almost impossible to have a screen protector and a case. If you get a Otterbox it's too bulky. So I like these tpu 360 gel covers. If you don't mind a that it's not glass then go with this. It looks like your phone is naked and you don't have to worry about scratching your screen when it's in your pocket or something. I like these that is has the individual cutouts and not one big cut out or no cut outs at all as I find with that it sometimes messes with the sensor.

These work great and can still use the stylus ect. I also find that having this on my Note 8 also helps with accidently touching the edge screen as much so it doestnt touch apps ect as much. I had this with my note 7 too cause I was facing the same problem with screen protectors.

How this works is the back goes on then the front gel screen cover goes on and overlaps over the back gel back protector giving you a full 360 degree coverage.

Only issue is you can't find these on prime and the shipping is slower cause they are probably coming from China. I ordered the same one off of ebay as they didn't have these at the time on Amazon. Got my in the mail yesterday and heppy with it so far and they were cheap.

Unless someone has a tempered glass screen that's full adhesive and is case friendly and won't crack or raise I think I'm done looking for tempered glass screen protectors.

I just wish samsung made the option for the notes whether or not you want a edge screen or not like they did for the S7 where you could get the S7 or the S7 edge. I would get a Note 8 without a edge screen in a heartbeat!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] wepa:
No I don't know anybody that works for otterbox
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] oneandroidnut:
I tried the patchworks glass screen protector and it fit perfectly but no touch response on half the keyboard and at the top of screen. really was hoping it would work cause of how nice it fit and felt!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] kraamerica:
So I wanted to update this product as I did receive and took off 3 days later. The adhesive on the sides did not dissipate in any way shape or form and there is little to no adhesive near the top or bottom. I actually went to blow some dust off near the earpiece with my mouth and it actually lifted off the phone at the top (it let the dust I was blowing off slide right underneath the glass).

The packaging it came in was disposed of, so I can't even return it, so lesson learned. I reached out to the company, but the adhesive I was told "would be barely noticeable". As I was corrected on earlier in this thread, it's, naked, Whitestone (ordered) or wet install.

Just an FYI all.

Nope, going Whitestone which will be here tomorrow. I have been using this little gem with black edges which hides the adhesive and has been quite nice as a very less expense alternative to Whitestone. Install was super easy and response is great. I don't mind the adhesive hiding as it really doesn't take that much away (almost none to the unfocused eye) from the display.

I'm going naked until my Whitestone arrives in a couple of hours. :) I used Omoton for my Note5 when my original tgsp cracked. I had my iPod Touch in my pocket and it must've been on the wrong side of the phone. Was looking at my phone and noticed a tiny crack. Tried to live with it for about 2 mins. I think it was a Zagg. Either way, won't be making that same mistake again. The Omoton isn't bad. A touch smaller than I wanted but no biggie now. Yay!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] oneandroidnut:
I don't recall any but it was junk lol
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Rydah:
So I just finished installing a Whitestone Dome Glass on my note 8. Had an issue where the screen protector dropped too low. Luckily I was able to slide it up and was patient enough to watch it adhere. Looks great. Will see tomorrow, hope I don't have any issues besides it being a lint magnet.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] xterminater07:
So things did not go as planned at all. The Supcase tempered glass I had on the Note8 did not protect one bit. I also had the Patchworks level case on as well. Knocked phone off of my bathroom sink, about 4ft drop. Corner hit the floor, then landed face down. The corner cracked, leaving the screen completely useless (has green lines and massive flashing repeatedly). It was not until today I managed to have the screen stable by prying my nails into the broken glass, and pushed up to glue back the lcd and the glass connection. Will be sending in for squaretrade repair.

I highly don't recommend the patchworks level case due to it being too tight on the phone. I believe that the screen cracked because there was no air cushion to absorb the shock, it went directly to the phone :( . Anyone recommend any strong case that they used before on a all screen phone, and dropped but nothing went wrong?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Huey85:
Had the same issue here when I installed, but luckily enough I saw it and moved it back up. Took a bit of time for the adhesive to flow down to the bottom but it eventually did with a bit of manual intervention. Glad I shelled out the money for this screen protector, it is the BEST screen protector I've ever used and is perfect in pretty much every regard (apart from catching lint at the top cutout where the sensors and front earpiece is uncovered). The feel is so soft and smooth to the touch. Love it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] MACHEK:
Any pics of it? I kinda was wondering About that. Thought what would happen if it falls, if it's glued your energy of the fall can go straight into the glass. Expensive fix either way, sorry you have to go through that.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] xterminater07:
The supcase tempered glass was not full adhesive, it was just edge adhesive, and it popped out fairly fast once it hit the floor :( I'll try to upload pics later.

Purchased this on your recommendation and it fits flawless with my Caseology Legion. No bubbles 100% perfect fit all the way around.

One NOTE, the instructions say to line up with bottom of screen, don't do this.... line up with the speaker, camera and sensors at top
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Dark4rce-2:
Completed my install of the Whitestone. Had to do it 2x. I have 3 small bubbles after the second install that I can see periodically, depending on what's on the screen. Aside from that, no issues to report. I may replace it later, if the bubbles become annoying. I don't have any pictures because I reset my other phone. The bubbles are about 2-3 mm in size at the curve of the screen at the top of my keyboard when I have it up.

The issue with the first install was bubbles at the top. I should have waited until the glue reached the bottom before I started removing them. When I tried to remove them, it squeezed too much glue out. The glue wouldn't cover the bottom of the screen after that.

I also covered the top speaker with a small piece of painter's tape to avoid any glue getting in there. It didn't interfere with the placement of the screen protector and was just wide enough to cover the speaker by a few millimeters. It didn't interfere with the jig either.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] drmacrofish:
I like the whitestone screen shield alot, but the 1I had on my S8 cracked after only being on for less than a month. Phone wasn't dropped or anything. I think their glass isn't the strongest. Then I tried to install a second one and couldn't get rid of the bubbles even after trying twice. I think I've given up on them for now.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] MACHEK:
Oh I missed that. Did your tempered glass go all the way to the edges? My first one didn't and I replaced it with one that does
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] xterminater07:
No it did not go to the edge... i dont think that it matters. I still believe the patchworks case was too tight

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] eydryan:
I've updated to Oreo a couple of days ago and I've noticed I can no longer get a GPS lock. AGPS data is downloaded and satellites are found and fixed, but resolving a location no longer happens.

I've also performed a factory reset and reflashed Android Oreo but the problem persists. Searching the web does not produce any results.

Any thoughts?

EDIT: FIXED. Seems like taking it out for a walk let it stretch its GPS legs and get a lock, after which it now runs perfectly. It's odd because I left it over 15 mins in the balcony where it got a GPS lock on as many as 5 satellites out of 25 but never acquired a location.
[General Questions and Answers] satwick_dash:
I tried to google, and searched on XDA as well. But I cannot find any thread that clearly explains the difference between the bootloader mode and download mode.

What is the basic difference between them ?

adb reboot bootloader - boots into fastboot mode in my Xiaomi Redmi 3S. Is the fastboot mode same as download mode ? If it is, does that mean adb reboot bootloader and adb reboot download have the same meaning ?

Sometimes across threads, I have read that even the recovery and fastboot mode are same. Though I'm pretty sure they aren't, but could someone please explain how they differ ?

I found a question on android.stackexchange, but couldn't quite understand the answer.
[General Questions and Answers] Ashwinrg:
Bootloader is code that executed when your operating system starts. Bootloader is a set of instructions that how operating system starts to run apps smoothly.

Download mode, Bootloader mode and fastboot mode are same. Download mode is related to samsung devices. "adb reboot download" command is used for boot samsung device in download mode for flashing purpose.

"adb reboot bootloader" command used for other devices to boot in fastboot mode for flashing.

Recovery mode and fastboot are different.

fastboot mode used for flashing roms.

Recovery mode is used for factory data reset, clear cache, flash official update package(Stock) and can backup and restore whole rom and data, flash mods, custom roms (custom like CWM AND TWRP)
[General Questions and Answers] satwick_dash:
Do you mean that when the 'device' starts ? Because I read here on xda, that bootloader is before the device boots into 'Android' or 'recovery' .

Also, you said

What happens if I try to flash a Samsung device in 'bootloader' mode ? Or some other device into 'download' mode ?
[General Questions and Answers] Ashwinrg:
Yes. Bootloader executed before android system starts. It have set of instructions that how system starts and runs operations.

Download mode is only term that uses for Samsung devices and fastboot mode for others. The meaning and purpose of both is same.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
There is bootloader mode and then there is bootloader.

Bootloader mode is the flashing mode.

Bootloader is the code executed before android system boots.

Some devices boot to a bootloader mode and then have a menu to choose which mode to switch to: fastboot, recovery, etc..

The difference between download mode and fastboot has been explained to you already.

I DO NOT PROVIDE HELP IN PM, KEEP IT IN THE THREADS WHERE EVERYONE CAN SHARE

Download mode is used to flash or `install` update's, full frimwares and custom recoveries generally

Hi, bro then what is "Qualcomm HS-USB QDloader 9008" mode??

what is the difference between fastboot and Qualcomm HS-USB QDloader 9008"
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
The difference is, fastboot mode is the mode designed for flashing the device when fastboot is functioning correctly.

Qhsusb dloader 9008 is when the device has been bricked. The device has to be restored by a specific method when in this state.
[General Questions and Answers] LinhBT:
Sorry for digging this topic up, but I have a few questions here regarding the Bootloader and the Dloader 9008, so please help to answers if you still follow this thread.

+ For Qualcomm based devices, when in Qloader 9008 ( let's say EDL if I made no mistakes ) then is this true that we can do anything to our devices at this mode? Says, I'm using QPST, and I'm in EDL mode, can I flash a new bootloader to the devices? And if yes, how can I do that?

+ My situation here is a little complicated, one of my ROM testing device, is Xiaomi A1 ( or at least, I think so until few days back ). But then one day, it just bricked when I try to flash a custom ROM, and of course I tried to flash the stock A1 firmware in order to un-brick it. But then, it stays at 900E mode ( Diagnostics mode, not Qloader 9008 ).

Then I had to dig deeper and find out that my device is not actually A1, it's Mi 5X with A1 firm.

Next, I tried to flash 5X firm to bring it back from bricked, but still no luck. Again, I found out that my device is not only 5X, but it's a Tiffany device with Oxygen bootloader ( and worst thing is, it's locked by accident ).

Coming to this point, I'm kind of lost. After reading many articles, try many methods ( lets say my device always in 9008 for the last few days :))))) ) but still not able to bring it back from death.

So, if it's anyway to bring it back to life, please help to instructs the process, I have all the tools with me along with about 100GB of firms ( A1, 5X, Mi Max 2, Miui EU....etc ).

Thanks in advance, guys!
