Hey guys, it looks like Verizon is rolling out an update. I clicked to see what was inside but it took me to a broken link. Does anyone know anything about this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] teegunn:
Mine is installed and upgrading android and optimizing apps.... I will know soon!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] sebastianraven:
I bit the bullet. This is what I got.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] teegunn:
Yeah mine is the same. Can't tell any differences so far. The link for what the update contains was broken, so I have no details. I am sure they will be posted here soon enough though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] Mike02z:
Mine just completed. Odd, they updated the kernel with a date of 9/8 but did not push the Sept security patch.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] Mike02z:
Double post...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] sebastianraven:
I can't find this anywhere... N950usqu1aqi5
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] sebastianraven:
Cool blog... http://www.theandroidsoul.com/veriz...ts-first-ota-update-with-build-n950usqu1aqi5/

It would be cool if who ever wrote it at least give me credit for my screenshots.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] Mike02z:
Yup, they used mine as well with no credit either. Boo

Edit: I commented on that Blog :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] CtrlZThis:
Thanks to you two for that then lol. Can't stand people that pick others stuff and post it taking credit. But anyway thanks for the help... I had no idea what the update was for and just clicked it in a half sleep this morning.

I was reading about that bluebourne vulnerability so glad they covered that. Anyone know who runs that blog?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] Dodge DeBoulet:
The article author's email address is at the end of the article. I don't know that he runs the blog, but someone keeps deleting my comments. The vulnerability IS NOT FIXED by this update. Armis' vulnerability scanner indicates that my updated Note 8 is still vulnerable.

EDIT: A post to a VZW update thread on Reddit suggests that the Armis app may be providing a false positive. I've emailed Armis with a request for verification and will followup if/when they reply.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] sebastianraven:
No idea. Someone cool obviously. :confused:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] joeyx2:
The link worked for me. Says it update the swipe on the keyboard and better gps in nav apps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] Dodge DeBoulet:
UPDATE: Version 1.04 of Armis' app now correctly reports that VZW Note 8s have been patched to eliminate the vulnerability.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] Laurentiu27:
Hey what theme is that?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] kbhasi:
Well, I was prompted to install this update on my "SM-N950F/DS" (international variant), and maybe the update you're getting includes some of these changes?

Any way to know if this could effect a potential root exploit or not? I'm always leery of taking updates when I first get a phone that hasn't achieved root yet. Is it safe to install?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] AZ2ENVY:
This is why I always hold off on every update. Seems as if people are still finding what this update was all about.

Blueborne update, as far as I know
[Asus ZenFone AR Questions & Answers] robbyrobaz:
Hey guys,

I love the charger that came with the phone and tracking the amps and volts I get about 2700mA at 4volts, which is about 12Watts, but never the full 18Watts (9Voltsx2Amps). But that's not bad, as it still charges real fast.

The big problem I have is that I have several Quick Charge 3.0 compatible chargers that offer the various Outputs----- Cable Output: QC 3.0 3.6-6V/3A, 6.2-9V/2A, 9.2-12V/1.5A (18W Max), but I only get about 700mA with 4Volts!

Is anybody else seeing this? Is it disabled by accident like the other ASUS Zenfones?

https://www.asus.com/us/Phone/ZenFone-AR-ZS571KL/Tech-Specs/

3300mAh (non-removable)

BoostMaster Fast Charging: 60% battery capacity in 39 minutes (18W)

PowerDelivery 2.0

Quick Charge 3.0
[Asus ZenFone AR Questions & Answers] Hyacin:
Yeah, same problem here as I mentioned in your thread on the Zentalk forums ... not impressed ... picked up an additional QC 3.0 wall charger, and a QC 3.0 car charger, and neither trigger the phone into "Fast Charging" mode ... they still charge fast - but the worst part of all is I'm not sure they're "talking" and tapering off the power as the battery fills up, because the phone is getting quite hot at the high end of the charge - and that is the main reason I went and spent money on QC 3.0 chargers - not as much for a faster charge as a charge that is easier on the battery so it hopefully has a good long life :-/
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] slaapliedje:
While I can understand the draw of having no physical home button (more screen, yay), it has already annoyed me a few times while typing and and trying to hit the space bar and instead hitting the button.

Maybe there is a stronger sensitivity setting that I missed?

Anyone done this a lot yet? I also noticed that the ability to hide the bar stops as soon as you have the keyboard open...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] BlueFox721:
I am beside myself. There are times when I am getting irritated because of complacency and then there are times when I am loving the real estate...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] jason504:
I am having problems swiping up for the navbar and it hits other apps. Or especially if I'm like text messaging and I swipe and my keyboard comes up. I made the nav bar stay on and it helps but I lose the real estate. Hope with root we can disable the navbar and use 3rd party nav bar on the side.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] liquidguru:
My phone is still on preorder, so I can't check, but I'm sure I saw somewhere that there is a setting to set the required pressure to activate Home

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] ggrant3876:
Not in the least, using transparent nav bar layer and I have a gigantic screen. If you want black nav bar always use this. Install like an app and reboot, go to settings>display>nav bar>back ground color>select black>push slider to the right
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] bonerp:
I prefer a real button
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] NamelessFragger:
I was annoyed at first, but I do admit I love the taller screen Samsung implemented this time by using the physical/capacitive button area for more screen space, unlike other OEMs content to stick with 16:9 screens and waste that space on soft keys. After all, Samsung lets you hide the nav bar with a quick double-tap.

Having to call up the nav bar for back and recents got old fast, but a Reddit poster clued me in on a neat hidden feature: if you force-press the home button, you can side-swipe for back or recents, no swipe-up for nav bar necessary! It does take some getting used to, though.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] bselesnew:
So get rid of the Note 8. The lack of a home button was implemented on the S8 series, it is the new norm.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Meanee:
I am coming from S8+ so no, it doesn't bother me at all. It took all of 5 minutes to get used to it on S8+
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] toenail_flicker:
no. not at all. this is how it was before. I prefer this way and loving the ability to hide the buttons too. very happy.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] pete4k:
Actually it is a pain in the neck, especially when driving and I switched from S8, still don't like it after 6 months. Not a deal breaker, but especially with full screen apps, simple one press turns into frustrating 3,4, sometimes even 5 presses. For that reason most of the time I have full screen disabled, but that beats the whole purpose of having full screen without buttons. That also forces fingerprint reader into back, absolutely huge issue when driving and having the phone mounted. There are workarounds, like having phone unlocked when connected to BT etc, but simplest solutions are the simplest and physical keys were simplest.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] RavenY2K3:
Coming from the Note 4, I'm instinctively keep going to press what's not there haha.

Only had it since 11am so can't make a proper judgement yet, it has got better in the last couple of hours though, so don't think it'll be long before it becomes just as natural as hitting the button was.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] toenail_flicker:
but it is there and that's the beauty of the phone. all that gorgeous glass and screen with nothing to take away from it. had no problem when I used older phones and tablets that were the same way. I predict you'll adapt fairly fast. I did.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] SteelPicori:
I have the nav bar auto hide (swipe up to get nav bar), even when hidden you can hard press where the home button usually is to simulate a home button push
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] MicroMod777:
I would of NEVER bought the Note 8 if it still had the old, ugly, 2007 iphone home button.

Its 2017, not 2007 peoples.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Meanee:
Just hard-press area where home button is. No need to wait for anything to show up.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] pcriz:
Coming from a Pixel XL it doesn't bother me at all. Just another Learning curve.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] DAvid_B:
It has a physical home. Press hard in the middle 1 inch from the bottom edge of the phone. Great move on Samsung's part.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] recithree:
Apps

Go to settings and the search for "navigation bar" and you can adjust the home button sensitivity.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Nebell:
The thing that annoys me most is I used double tap home button to start the camera. The physical power button is too far. Other than that I never liked on screen buttons but since Note 8 I'm starting to accept them. Small bezel help it a lot.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] _MetalHead_:
I hate it. The huge screen is still kinda gimmicky for me and not worth the loss of the hardware keys and usable fingerprint scanner. The Note 7 was literally perfect in its design, the Note 8 will take some getting used to.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] PsiPhiDan:
Gimmicky? It is the entire point of the phone, truly. Real estate is necessary for the multi-window features.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] pete4k:
Actually I very rarely use home button, by saying home button I actually mean all 3 buttons and it's only the back button that I use all the time and that's the one that gives me all the headaches. I actually wouldn't care if other buttons didn't exist at all, but the back button is used to clear messages, come back from menu etc. and when driving the car it is hit and miss, especially when you have to watch the road.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] _MetalHead_:
I get that, but the multi window worked just fine on the Note 7. Keep in mind I've only had the phone for 6 hours so I'm still getting used to it. Take my opinion with a grain of salt. I hated the curved edges on the Note 7 when I first got it and ended up mourning their loss when I had to turn the phone back in. I'm sure after getting used to the screen on the 8 I won't be able to even look at another device the same.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] PsiPhiDan:
Yeah I went back to my Pixel momentarily to move over some photos and just laughed. It feels like a toy now. I'm sure you'll adjust, as you said.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] krabman:
Cmon Dan, you were like a powder keg of hate ready to blow on the slightest lag or any other perceived fault. lol Now you're like the rest of the Note aficionados, smitten. It's ok though, the Note series is like a dog you want to hate but you end up loving it despite all the faults. Lots of people have walked down that path, myself included. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] _MetalHead_:
I think the lack of home button would be easier to swallow if the navbar wasn't light grey and didn't seem to have a mind of its own. If it could be set to black it would be infinitely better. My whole theme is dark except for this ugly thing.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] jason504:
Try this app. Sorry I could not share the link in the play store app

This works great I put it on the left side and just use.. Back.. Home and recent. I can swipe fast fast fast to go back and it does not hit other apps
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] _MetalHead_:
Yeah I'm really getting annoyed by this navbar. Samsung really didn't implement it well. If I set it to auto hide, its hidden by default on my launcher which is ridiculous, but when I leave it up, I have a nasty light gray bar on the side when I'm watching "full screen" FB videos. So at the end of my first day I would still rather have a shorter screen and hard buttons. I hope they fix this soon because it's really souring my experience. I don't mean to be complaining so much but I've been waiting for this phone since the Note 7 fiasco and this is a massive disappointment. The rest of the phone so far is seriously killer though.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] darkkterror:
No issues with the on screen home button here but I'm coming from a Pixel so I suppose I'm already used to it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Craniotomy:
I installed the black bar but it doesn't show a slider to adjust it. Any ideas? If I select apply settings navbar turns black, but more while typing this message its still white and i can't choose any other color.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] _MetalHead_:
I have no idea how I missed this. Major game changer for me. The haptics even make it feel like you're physically clicking the screen. Genius. You just turned my disappointment into pure joy. I tip my hat to you good sir.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] darkkterror:
Did not realize this was a thing. Kudos to you sir.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] ggrant3876:
Is your a snap dragon or exynos and did you reboot before looking for the setting. I'm using a T-Mobile variant snap dragon. I also think different carriers have different settings on the same device.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] _MetalHead_:
This is why I love xda. I installed it and now my ugly light gray nav bar is black. Between this and finding about about the hard press home button, I now have zero complaints about the navbar, aside from the fingerprint scanner which I know I'll get used to. Thanks to you guys, my love affair with this bad boy starts right now.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Gareee:
I installed this and can see the black option added, but no slider to adjust its transparency... so it changed nothing really.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] ggrant3876:
There was a slider yesterday, I had an update this morning from T-Mobile and it's gone now. Just select the black and back out of the app, it's working for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Gareee:
I selected the black but on verizon I saw no change. (I am using nova launcher though.. maybe it won't permit the change?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] ggrant3876:
Might be, I'm using TW.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] toenail_flicker:
the N7 really was perfect in design. and as I use my N8 with the enormous, beautiful clear screen, I imagine how much more wonderful the N7 would have been without the huge button. it was my most perfect phone. so glad virtual buttons are back. I've already adapted and you'll adapt quickly too.

that's how I felt until I heard about this. now I have it hiding and black. I'm in love with this thing.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] jason504:
I am using it with Nova and it works for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Craniotomy:
I have a T-Mobile note 8 too. I rebooted also. I still can't see the slider to adjust it
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] ggrant3876:
Posted earlier the slider is gone after I updated this morning with a system update from T-Mobile.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Craniotomy:
Ah maybe that's why I updated before I installed it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] pcriz:
I'm not updated and I don't have it
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Ryland Johnson:
Then I strongly suggest you don't purchase the Note 8. There are still, at present, mobiles available with what you desire. Why inflict yourself onto a device that you know will cause you stress?

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] English_Gentleman:
I thought I would have a serious issue with not having a physical home button as my previous phones were a Note 4 and a Huawei Mate S. I had to get the Mate S because my Note 4 failed (memory issues) and therefore left me without a physical home button.

I think that got me used to the fact that the N8 has no physical buttons but even after a couple days of use I've gotten used to it pretty quickly. Sometimes a little dot on the bottom left of the button bar appears and if you tap it twice it disappears. Swipe up from the charging port to make it reappear.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] bonerp:
Didn't say it would cause me stress. I said i prefer a physical button.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] WastedJoker:
I'd prefer a physical button but that could be simply habit. I'm sure I'll get used to the lack of one on this because it really is a great phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] hx4700 Killer:
absolutely but even more so is the lack of fingerprint on the front. If I put it in my dock in the car I can't unlock with fingerprints :/
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] jason504:
That's what smart lock is for.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] hx4700 Killer:
I am aware, and that was just an example. I have found numerous times including trying to use PAY where I have to fumble to get it unlocked due to fingerprint unlock in the rear :/ That is a HUGE negative IMHO
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] jason504:
I hear you it took a little getting use it the finger print scanners placement. I am used to it now and it works every time fast for me. They should have put it in the middle or under the front glass. Next year it will be under the front glass I read. I use Samsung pay all the time with no problems. But also I have big hands so it is no problem for me to reach it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] MicroMod777:
The iPhone 8 would be perfect for you with the same 2007 old school design.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] _MetalHead_:
The scanner works pretty reliably and fast for me. Not as instantaneous as my One plus 3t but not even the Pixel is that fast. I'm happy with it. Placement is another story. It's in such an awkward place that I don't even use it for unlocking, which is a shame. With the OnePlus 3t, I just pick up my phone and tap the sensor and I'm in. I miss that. But honestly, it's such a minor concession that it absolutely will not tarnish my experience with the Note 8.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] slaapliedje:
To me, the Note 7 was perfect with the exception of the replaceable battery.. well and the whole recall thing. But it didn't have the extra Bixby button, and had a fingerprint scanner on the front that used a physical button.

At least the Iris Scanner is more accurate with the Note 8 than it was with the 7. Unlocks the phone pretty quick.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Tidbits:
You can press the home button was and it will take you home. You don't have to swipe up then tap the home. It's all based on the pressure you put.

Personally I never had trouble hitting the home button when pressing the space bar.

You can change the sensitivity of how hard you have to press to engage the home button.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] jason504:
My iris scanner sucks. I don't know if it's my device but it does not work that great for me. The face scanner works better but I heard its not that secure. Finger print works fine for me and with smart lock it's a breeze.

---------- Post added at 07:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:05 PM ----------

Also I liked the Note 7 but I like the 8 more. It's wider than the 7 was. That was one thing I did not like about the 7.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] slaapliedje:
Ha, I literally was just testing the setting for pressing the home button to unlock the screen, and it kept instantly unlocking it and I thought it had disabled my security. Nope, it was unlocking the screen so fast with the iris scanner that it didn't even open it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] bonerp:
Brilliant post....well done
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] jason504:
When I use the iris scanner all I see is the phone looking for my eyes. I do wear glasses so maybe that's it
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] _MetalHead_:
Yeah, it's blazing fast on mine. I have it set to unlock without swiping and it works great, and is almost as fast as the fingerprint scanner on my OnePlus 3T. Once I get used to it I'm sure the scanner placement on the Note will be a non-issue for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] xile6:
Nah, had all the samsung phone and only took me a day to get use to it on my s8plus.

So the note 8 was nothing.

Phone feels great and have that smooth feel and look.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] slaapliedje:
I got Lasik back in April, so that could be why the Note 8's Iris scanner seems to work quicker than the Note 7's, since I used to wear glasses. Some of the best money I ever spent!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] _MetalHead_:
Off topic, but how much did the Lasik cost you? I'm really hoping to get it done soon.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] slaapliedje:
It was 2350 per Eye (so 4700USD)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] jason504:

Off topic man XDA is slow. Is it just me or does it take around 3min to post a comment?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] PsiPhiDan:
Me too! I was ready to start questioning the Note 8's internet connectivity so I'm glad you're having the same issue!

Note to self: coming from another Note 8 owner... Doesn't necessarily mean it's not a Note 8 issue... ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] _MetalHead_:
It's slow for me too, glad I'm not the only one. Thought it was my new shiny for a bit, that wouldn't have been good.
