[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] rad30n:
ant0nwax you don't need to match the on-screen keyboard with the hardware keyboard. In models that support it, the phone will automatically force the correct layout and work out-of-the-box. If it doesn't for you, something's wrong: either the case is misbehaving, or you have a version of the phone (or ROM) that does not include support for the keyboard. At least this is my experience: see my comments above where I had this issue with a Galaxy S8+ from Hong Kong.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] ant0nwax:
Hi there

and if my software is not supported, why do you think the screen resizes correctly and i got a greeting that I am using the keyboard cover?

My first assumption is wrong:

i think the old keyboard in Android 8 was just like the case, but the android 9 keyboard is different, i called the customer care yesterday and they confirmed that the keyboard was different in android 8

question is if i could install the samsung keyboard for andorid 8 into android 9 :)

EDIT: I found a solution

The upper is not needed and really the wrong approach... It works in Android 9 too

The fact is that Samsung never thought about people using KEYBOARD COVER and changing the DPI settings in Developer Options at Screen Width

the keyboard cover does only work at 411 dpi, which is factory default for Note 8 N950F

I used to have 520 dpi, so this will be hard to get used to :)

Hope this could help some people one day, maybe with other keyboard covers

EDIT2: one more issue

my screen protector does not work together with the keyboard cover, its quite thick

keys work for typing but navigation keys for home and back and tasks does not work, so i had to remove the screen protector for now
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] rad30n:
> the keyboard cover does only work at 411 dpi, which is factory default for Note 8 N950F

Thanks for sharing your discovery, I hadn't considered that. I'm not surprised, to be honest, small things seem to be breaking with every release (symbols panel, emoji panel), I don't think anyone at Samsung knows or cares about this feature anymore, so I wouldn't be surprised if some future firmware update breaks it for good (because Samsung bundles the keyboard apk in the firmware and you can't update or downgrade it).

I actually moved two weeks ago to the Fxtec Pro1, my girlfriend is keeping the Note 8, but one interesting thing I'll document here is that my Note 8 screen colors have been degrading between the half of the screen under the keyboard, and the rest of the screen.

That is, if I remove the keyboard and open any app with a white background, such as the launcher, there is a clearly visible shift in white tones between both parts of the screen, which is somewhat distracting. My Note 8 was still under warranty (yay Europe) so I've sent it in, let's see if they replace it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] gatsbythegerbil:
Huh, that's different. I've never seen so much space on the right side of the keyboard when it's full-sized. What happens if you click Reset? Is that the default setting?

Does it enter the wrong keys when you type because of the different placement? When I snap the keyboard onto the phone, it changes the keyboard settings to match, and moves back to the usual layout when I pop the keyboard back off. The phone knows the keyboard is attached and adjusts accordingly.

[edit] Sorry, didn't see previous replies. Glad you found a solution.

That doesn't surprise me. AMOLEDs are known to degrade like that, and I've seen others complain about screen burn on the Note 8. It's not usually noticeable but if some apps turn off the screen under the keyboard, that part of the screen would face significantly less wear.

How are you liking the Fxtec so far? Last I heard, it was just barely getting delivered to customers.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] cmdfidel:
Does anyone have this keyboard for sale? I understand that XDA is not a marketplace, but this is a damn rare accessory, I haven’t been able to find it on eBay and elsewhere for half a year now, and I hope that it will at least be found here.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] sjwoo:
I own a SM-G935V that I'm using with Tracfone. It's running 7.0/Nougat, patch level 4/1/2017. On another forum, here's what I wrote:

I've run multiple tests on this and it turns out that if I reboot my phone, I do not get reconnected to cell service unless I make an outgoing telephone call.

The reason why I didn't notice this is because I use Google Voice for about 99% of my SMS communication. So here's the test I ran:

1. Reboot phone, wait until it comes back online and I have bars and 4G on my status bar

2. Call my phone from another phone -- goes straight to voicemail

3. Send SMS via phone's SMS -- goes to pending and is never sent

4. Make an outgoing phone call not using Google Voice but my cell network resolves the issue

I've changed the network from Global to LTE/CDMA, but it makes no difference. I've also turned off the wifi and tried to see if I would be denied for data access, but that is not so -- I can visit websites without any issue. But doing that DOES NOT reconnect me to my cell network. So it seems that since I'm using 4G/LTE for data, that authentication is separate from the cell authentication.​

I got a response from another user that's experienced the same issue. He said he had no problems with Verizon prepaid SIM but the same exact thing with a Tracfone Verizon-piggybacked SIM. His solution was to push an unbranded firmware on it.

I'd rather not go this route if I can help it since the phone works well and this is the only issue I've encountered. Any suggestions?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Polarbearshoes11:
Since Monday I have problems with the SIM card bring recognised. It does one of 3 things. It times down from 10 saying no sim card and then it restarts. When it comes back on this repeats till you take the battery out. Or it will say searching instead of network or it will say the network then suddenly it will switch to invalid sim.

I tried putting paper in the sim tray and ruled out a sim tray problem that way. I put my boyfriends sim into my phone and the same thing happened. I put my sim into my boyfriends phone and it works fine.

It may be unrelated but there is a software update that keeps coming up but the install keeps failing

And saying verification failed after restarting the device after download. I have no idea how to fix this sim problem.

Thanks in advance.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Big_Ducket:
Sim Card Fix

The repair I did should never have been necessary. LG decided not to use any heat sink interface material between the main CPU/PCB and the heatsink. So when the phone gets older, things start loosening from all the expansion and contraction of these parts leading to sim card disconnections, and probably other problems.

Remove back cover, carefully disconnect the ribbon cables, remove main circuit board. Apply one piece of thermal adhesive heat transfer tape so that it covers the back of the board where it makes contact with the silver heatsink, making sure you remove the plastic film from both sides of the tape. This tape is about 1.5-2 mm thick, a perfect fit! I also added a small piece to the back edge of the sim card before I put the battery back in just to keep it from moving. You may not need to do this.

Since I installed it my phone hasn't worked like this since the day I first got it. Everything works perfectly and the phone doesn't get hot like it used to.

Hope this works for you,

James L.

Its the N950F, meaning its the Exynos 8895 version, and also says it comes with a warranty?

It keeps on coming back though after every reset, and to be honest thats not the sort of thing you should have to do for the primary function as a phone.

If it can't make or take calls reliably, then as nice as it is in most other areas, it makes it useless.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azsamsancho:
OK, I played with Titanium Backup and removed some Samsung apps like S health... Now I am stuck at boot loop and phone wont start. I am on stock rom 6.01 rooted. tried everything I could read:

- installed TWRP - did not quite work, gave me an error "is not seadroid"

- installed CWM - I can boot into it, but not much I can do to fix the boot, I tried wiping the partition cache and dalvik, but not help

- installed root again with stock recovery, nothing..

If I install the latest version of stock firmware, will I loose my app data? All I care about is to preserve my notes from ColorNote :( I read somewher that if a rom does not have userdata img, it wont wipe. Does the stock firmware have that? I am just looking for a way to get back in, backup stuff, and then reflash properly.

I tried going the adb route, but nothing there either. In cmd it says now unlock your phone for the pull command to compete, which obviously I cannot do.

Any other options to save my ColorNotes and Pictures?

I think there is tiny movement. I've seen one review of G6 in the past and there were two different frames of the film that showed AOD and they were joined together. The phone did not changed its place but AOD info had moved a little bit but it was barely noticeable. So in my opinion there is some sort of safety implemented.

LG's Quantum IPS displays (unlike other lcd displays) are capable of developing image retention, this is true. However this is not permanent, like with amoleds, goes away after a few hours at most. It probably doesn't move.

I just saw this YouTube video claiming that Samsung is releasing a software update including a camera change that would allow the phone to shoot in 4K at 60fps. Here's the video: [youtube]CbhCjt2FtMw[/youtube]

I don't know how legitimate this is. Someone in the comments claims it's impossible due to limitations in the SoC. Anyone know anything about this? Was that a typo in Samsung's website where it listed 4K 60fps on the Note 8 or is it actually coming?

If it is, I'm pretty pumped.

I'd love this if it were true. 4k 60fps is the only thing I'm jealous of the iPhone for. The pessimist in me says it's unlikely though otherwise surely one of the many phones out there with the same cpu as the note would've done it by now. I think the iPhone is capable of it due to the new Apple made codec etc which isn't available to the note. So I'd be surprised if it's true but will continue to hope it is!

According to specs SD 835 supports 4k @60 FPS and memory should be fast enough so it is absolutely possible, but there may be some limitation and file size of such video will be massive. I don't know why wasn't it included originally, but I'm not sure if I have anything capable of playing such video, except probably phone itself, which is not 4k anyway.

Oh that's great to hear that it's possible! I'm sure we'll get it then, either from Samsung or root/devs.

Actually I got it from here: https://www.dpreview.com/news/98163...apdragon-835-with-enhanced-camera-integration and I quote bellow:

"On the camera side of things the new integrated Qualcomm Spectra 180 ISP can manage image sensors with up to 32MP or 16MP dual-cams. It supports hybrid autofocus using laser, contrast, structured light and dual-phase detection methods. There is hardware-accelerated face-detection, and optical zoom and HDR video recording are supported as well. 4K video capture and playback are offered at 60 frames per second. "

But some other sources claim 4k@30 record and 4k@60 playback, so that article may have an error. Sorry
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] toadsurfer:
Yeah, Qualcomm's website says it maxes out at 30fps. The exynos can do up to 4k 120fps though but I don't think Samsung would fragment devices but releasing an update just for exynos. Shame.
