What you got is NOT a warranty. They offered to fix a defective package. There is ZERO break warranty. I can buy 1 screen protector at $10 and get it replaced if it breaks. I can buy this one at $50 and I am SOL if it breaks which was the statement I made to the guy who hasn't gotten a response after dropping it and it broke....

As far as my install, lets try this again. I have had 2 of these now. The first one Amazon replaced. The first one I put the phone in the tray and placed a small level on the face to level in both directions, top to bottom and left to right. I dropped the glue and it went fine. The "new" tray I do the exact same thing and even check again prior to the glue drop and then made sure it was clean, dropped the glue and it ran to one side. I can't explain it. It defies physics I know but the second tray wouldn't keep the glue centered. I didn't say it ran off, I said it was not centered. For a perfect, clean looking best results install the glue needs to be in the center when the screen is dropped.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] zige:
I see what you mean. But i just dont get it why they would need to offer a warranty what covers if users itself broke their tgsp? Why manufacters should provide new one if you drop your phone and it breaks? I havent ever heard any of tgsp manufacters to provide free one after breaking it. They hasnt said its unbreakable or anything like that. What comes to price... 30-50 euros is typical price for tgsp if you buy here in Finland. And for curved screens they suck. You will pay same price and get perfect tgsp. Maybe in some countrys it feels expensive.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] hx4700 Killer:
I have personally never broken one but my wife, daughter and son have each more than once. EVERY time the company sent me a new one free. Every one of those cost me $10 or less shipped. So yes, one for $45 with zero warranty is outside the norm here and outside my comfort zone.

I don't care how awesome it looks, I will not buy another if it ends up breaking or looking like crap. 2 puts the cost of a screen protector at 10% of m phone cost. That is pure insanity....
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] zige:
I see, thanks for clarifying this. That's not normal here so thats why i was confused. But i can understand companies which dont want to do this as its not good plan for future. Like you only buy once their product and after that they should send new one everytime when someone breaks their tgsp. As far i know whitestone is still small company with only tgsp for some iphones and couple of Samsung models It would be nice to get free one everytime i break former but i can understand why everyone not want to do it. But maybe some day? ;) Who knows.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] hx4700 Killer:
Its not an endless supply of free ones but at least one. That is why I say if a company can get me 2 for $10, whats wrong with these folks sending a "refill" just the screen and glue at $45?? I hear you, is it fair to replace if I break one? Maybe not but almost ALL companies here do it so they do so to compete.

There are too many chances of failure for this to be a one shot, one try effort for $45 :/ and it looks like crap will net a bad company reputation. If they send 2 in the box out of the gate they will have a higher satisfaction rate and sell more even without the warranty. Adding the warranty would put this product over the top. Odds are with a second one in the box and a good first install that customer will never be heard from on the warranty. Why not let the customer pay to ship it that way?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] RaymondPJR:
I think I can recreate the installation process very closely. I can use the tray the phone came in and tape a third party SP to it at the bottom so that it's centered correctly. With the top side loose, I can drop it on. All I need is the light and a way to measure exactly how much glue to drop on.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] hx4700 Killer:
Thanks,

This is what I suggested with my post. The community reproduces this with a good, known, cheap (< 10) glass and some LOCA for multiple installs/attemps warranty or no.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] RaymondPJR:
It makes sense to do it oneself. I'm extra nervous because I cancelled my insurance with TMO when I decided to keep my Note 7 (the weren't going to honor a claim on a recalled phone if it broke, so why continue paying). Well, that has backfired! TMO won't insure me because I bought from Samsung direct! I need to beg Sammy to let me get their insurance which doesn't cover theft or loss, I turned it down when ordering. Other options are slim.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] indie:
Guys mine was a perfect install. I even wrote a 5 star review on Amazon. After 2 weeks though a line appears about 1-2 mm along the left edge. If you look carefully its like micro cracks in the glue and has a purplish tone which affects the clarity. I reached out to Whitestone here and they ignored my message. That was 2-3 days ago. Yesterday my phone drops from ONLY 1 ft and the top left corner cracks. Never have I had a cheap tgsp crack after a small drop especially after falling from sofa seat height. I would never ask a manufacturer to take responsibility if my phone fell out my pocket onto concrete from height but a) I have the purple tinge issue which cropped up after 2 weeks after a perfect install and b) a drop of 1ft onto laminate and the screen broke is nonsense especially after spending £45
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] konvalink:
Mine went well through install, see photos after one week of using with LED cover and Tech21 case. I hope it will last long! If the corner will start to lift, I hope small drop from second tube of glue will fix it...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Limeybastard:
Really dumb hypothetical question in regards to T Mobile version bought from Samsung direct.

Apart from the obvious why would TMO support this device? Is it because the IMEI isn't on their system, perhaps ?

Zagg

Otterbox

Bodyguards

Spigen

And literally every glass screen protector company on Amazon offers free warranty replacement. The glass they buy cost them at the most 90 cents usd to buy and they charge 7-55 usd for it. On my 7+ I've gone through 9 replacements on zagg, after paying for shipping for 3 replacements they send them to me completely free.

Hello,

I am starting to learn how to cook Rom. Specially that could run on my Nexus 5.

As far as I know, I need the binaries. However that latest ones that Google support are for for Android 6.0.1 (M4B30Z). How can I make them suitable to Nougat or even Oreo?

I am looking for op5 (from Canada). The price on banggood is $556CAD and on oneplus.net/ca is $650CAD + tax (which is 19% more even after 10% student discount) 6GB/64GB. Do you have any bad experience with banggood? How reliable the oneplus.net is? Any trouble to deal with the seller when your phone should have any problem?

Last question, how do you think huawei p10 plus? It is a much more expensive phone.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] B0unze:
I wouldn't trust any other sellers than OnePlus themselves.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Konskl:
Oneplus themselves... You really wouldn't want a bad experience for a tiny bit more. at least that's my opinion :)
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Eric214:
I agree. You usually get what you pay for when using obscure site that many don't know. I knwo you're in Canada, but in the US, unless it's a place like amazon, Swappa or Best Buy, I'm not to into buying phones unless direct from the OEM.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Rhoban:
I saw some article about Gearbest selling the phone for $399 if you use a certain code.

Or you can buy it from the official OnePlus website and use a certain code from XDA to get a free OnePlus case. The case is about $30 normally.

The code can be found in some XDA article from last week.

bangood are fine. check its not the chinese version which may limit the bands and have no google play store. i suppose you can flash oxygen rom etc. also remember you will probably run the risk of paying custom tax.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] wolfca:
Thanks all. It seems oneplus.net is a reliable place to shopping. Is there data for where people buying their op5? It could be interesting.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] 350Rocket:
I bought mine from OnePlus. I know I overpaid being in Canada with our crappy dollar but I needed to switch to a dual sim phone and the OnePlus was the only dual sim phone I knew of that I was sure I'd be happy with so I was willing to switch from the s8 to the OnePlus 5 even though it was almost the same amount of money. The ordering process was nice and easy and the phone arrived to my door in Canada in less than a week by DHL. I got frequent status updates on the shipping. So far it's better than the s8 in some ways and a downgrade in others. Which is the "better" phone depends what you need or like better.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] thaidroid:
I would not worry, there is no dodgy copies of oneplus 5 around to my knowledge. Just make sure it has OOS on it ,but even if it comes with the Chinese software you can Flash OOS later. Only on hardware spec(except for memory and storage), Surely you have a one week return policy in Canada also. Android phones never brake until warranty period has expired:cool:

[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] MrWilsonxD:
I agree with this 100%, i've had way better experiences purchasing direct from the manufacturer when it comes to repairs, warranties, etc. When I purchase from Best Buy or online resllers, the seller just tells me "Welp, you didn't purchase the 300$ warranty so..... You're SOL buddy! Good luck contacting the manufacturer!"

I purchased my Samsung Chromebook plus from Best Buy and regretted it. The chromebook had a hardware defect, I called Best Buy and brought it to the Best Buy store I bought it from and they said "WEll, sorry dude, you didn't buy the warranty.." Then I called Samsung and they told me "If you purchased it through us, we could just replace your chromebook , because you went through a reseller, we can only repair it"

I had to get it repaired twice for the same problem :( I regret not purchasing from Samsung direct, even if it had been a few bucks more.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] prozo:
Bought mine through Swappa, haven't had any issues whatsoever; but as others have indicated there are risks for buying from a 3rd party intermediate. Granted I got mine for about $400 for the midnight model, but I'm sure that is still possible for you in Canada too but it looks like the Midnight model is out of stock?
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] 350Rocket:
In Canada you're going to pay a lot more than that. I paid $820 all in for my new one from OnePlus, but sellers on Kijiji wanted $650 to $750 for a mint condition used one.

[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] halfcastsid:
yea that might be , they have to check if the device is working. i told them to not flash oxygen os because before i ordered a phone on geekbuying wich had a fake rom after an attempt to update the phone was hard bricked and was simply dead.

oh man im so excited :fingers-crossed: ordered at 12th got shipped on the 15. but i still cannot track my order...
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] GroovyGeek:
Given that the price difference between Gearbest and OP is tiny, you get 2 day delivery and a 15 no questions asked return policy, why would anyone buy anywhere other than the OP website? Maybe elsewhere in the world it makes a difference, but for North America the decision seems pretty slam dunk, particularly if you can be bothered for 3 min to create an edu email address.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] halfcastsid:
the price difference here in europe is 140€ (167 dollar) i think thats pretty good... i agree on the delivery time though i can take up to 2 weeks (depends on wich delivery method you choose ) i first tried to create an edu email but i couldnt . where can i create one ?
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] IlD4nX:
I got the global version: as far as I know, except for the software, there's no difference between Chinese and Global (in the past there was the issue with the band 20)

BTW, I tested it a bit and I can say it's perfect !

And yes, I got it in 15 days but I spent 130€ less than buying it directly from OP... of course warranty can be the only reason to buy it from OP instead from China

but i have to tell you that this case is not compatible with a few tempered glass screen protectos ( like the official oneplus one ). but since i will use the flexible airglass screen protector it should be fine.

[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lmacmil:
I have the SM-T713 which is the 8" 2016 version. I have a 25Mbps connection and every other wireless device I own, including 2 older Samsung tablets (a Tab S 10.5 and a 2014 Note 10.1) will consistently pull about 30 Mbps download speeds. My S2 have never even made it to 12 Mbps. Oddly, the upload speed is consistent with the other devices. Anyone else seen this problem? I am running stock Nougat 7.0 and use whatever defaults there are for wifi settings. All speed tests were run in the same location in my house. It's not a huge deal for me but I find it odd that such a nice tablet appears to have a wifi defect.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sparksd:
I also have the 8" SM-T713 running 7.0. I get 70Mbps and more on my 100Mbps connection at home, always comparable to my other devices. Have you tried different channels on your router?

No I have not but other devices using the same channel don't have a problem. I connected to my guest network which is on the 2.4Ghz band and the download was what it should be! I don't understand why that would be but since it works, I'll take it. Thanks!

Hi guys,

I have a big probleme since 2 weeks on my galaxy s6 edge:

Sometimes the sound of the phone cut off and i'm not able to activate it again (the only way is to reboot)

And sometimes the phone juste freeze for no reason and he reboot by itself but sometime i have to hold power + home + volum down to make it reboot.

This problem happen like 2 or 3 times per day but it often happens when i'm watching videos on youtube, and the phone looks hot.

What i tried:

(I precise that i had a stock rom at origin) but i had already rooted it in the past and tested some custom rom.

I did a factory reset -> same bugs

Installed stock rom -> same bugs

Flashed custom rom -> same bugs

I dont know what to do and the warranted of my phone is over anyway...

I searched a lot on internet but i found nobody with the same problem.

I tested to boot in secure mode, but i don't think the problems comes from an app because when i installed the flashed rom, i got a freeze after 5 minutes with no app installed...

Thanks for your help, and sorry for bad english.

The one thing that kept me from buying the Samsung rugged case was the disclaimer that it doesn't work with wireless charging. I saw buried within another thread that it does work so I ran over to Best Buy to test it out. Took the case out of the package and used their display wireless charger to test. It works fine. I left it there longer than the youtube video guy, because sometimes it'll say it's charging initially, and then stop charging after a few seconds (longer than he let the phone sit for). I waited to see the actual increase in battery life. Then I made my way to the register with the phone still in the case and paid for it using Samsung Pay. Both worked perfectly. Thought I'd bring this into a separate thread for anyone who's on the fence.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] BigMosley:
Awesome, I just picked up with black one at Best Buy this morning. I am used to having the Otterbox Defender case on all my devices but figured I'd try a thinner case and I really like the look of this official Samsung case but I am worried about drops, even though it has this military drop protection. I stumbled across this short video of someone throwing the phone across the room so it should hold up fairly well.

VIDEO LINK
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] marctronixx:
So what's your trick

First off i think samsung know more about the design of the case then a typical (i use that in air quotes) consumer.

I have TWO samsung convertible fast chargers and the military case from samsung.

I will admit i did not try the phone LAYING DOWN (and I cant test at the moment), but in portrait mode, the charging starts but pauses. Then starts, then pauses. This is standard behavior.

I'm not making this up, Ive literally sat watching it do this just to prove if it can work in my experience.. and it doesn't.

Now.. the Choetech charger I reviewed seems to charge the phone through the case. Perhaps the leather type materials on the samsung charger absorb more energy than just the plastic back on the Choetech.

So I THINK its possible to charge the phone in that style case but its not reliable with the samsung one.

Unless you can give me some pointers on Howe to place it, but then it becomes a chore/hassle.

My daily driver will be the alcantara case so this will be moot for me but its good discussion I nonetheless. :highfive:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] ggblake:
This is a good point. The chargers on display at Best Buy were the original fast wireless charges (which I have at home) and not the new convertible style. Like I said I put the phone in the case and waited for the actual power to visually increase in both portrait and landscape modes before I went to the register. I'm currently at work and I have a cheap Qi charger that I got from Amazon (also no fabric material on it) and it works fine as well. No special positioning. (I know all about having to place the phone on the charger in just the right spot...and then wait....since I've used magnetic holders and had to figure a way around the metal plate within the case.)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] BigMosley:
My phone in the case would disconnect and reconnect over and over all night long, I noticed this and pulled the Samsung Rugged case off and the phone began charging like usual. I am using last years Fast charger, not this years so I am going to say it DOES NOT work properly with the Samsung Rugged case.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] ggblake:
I've been using it for 2 days now with no issues. Maybe it's hit or miss and maybe that's why Samsung made the disclaimer.
