thank you my friend, I'm in Georgia (Easter europe) and we have a very bad Samsung servive :( I don't think they will replace my phone :@
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Ryland Johnson:
I see. Its possibly not much good to you there but Samsung does offer an international warranty on its goods? Failing that I have some very 'interesting friends' who live there and they may enjoy visiting those who misbehave with warranties :laugh:

Samsung service is called here Samsung mis-service, its incredibly poor as Samsung outsource all their sales to a third party thus passing the buck when or if things go boobs up. Very frustrating. I would insist they exchange your unit for a new one.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] slyphnier:
wonder if it worth the hassle to get replacement for "edge bleed", as it seems more unit that have edge-bleed than unit that "perfectly sealed"

my device also have edge-bleed... but as other else been great, i am kinda hesitating to replace just for it

based what check regarding minor defect for note8, other than this edge-bleed

there also pink-tint display and also loose/woobly bixby+power buttons

anyway despite i am saying minor-defect, all of these defects/issues more about cosmetics rather than real issue

pink-tint can be solved with manual screen color calibration, except high-pink-tint

loose-button, well it just like 0.2 mm gap that causing it

and this edge-bleed been reported since S6... and so far no real water-damage-report caused by this gap
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] EarlZ:
I got my phone yesterday and I have an edge bleed on the right that is visible when looking even straight into the screen at around 80% brightness in normal room light, I am not very bothered by it yet though. I have a Ringke case that is smoked grey and it dampens the light leak dramatically. If ever I get annoyed ill just switch to solid colored case that should fix the problem for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] fixmypcnow247:
That is bad man ughh.

That makes me cringe.

I posted earlier that it is the black tape samsung puts on there for hiding the light and color for bezels and other coatings. I understand that the light refracts due to the bend in the glass but all the edge phones I have owned never had this issue. Also my unit does not change in the amount of edge bleed refraction due to temps 45f to 100f the same amount of refraction so I say it is a issue with the tape alignment not a phone breaking issue just ugly and annoying
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] bekasulaberidze:
Thank you my friend !
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Limeybastard:
Yeah, Ryland posts some good feedback on here. I appreciate it also.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] _MetalHead_:
Man, I can't believe some of you are making such a big deal about this. My Note 7 had it and it didn't bother me at all, especially after I took a deep breath and realized it wasn't a flaw, just something intrinsic to the curved glass screen. I'm super anal and always inspect my devices before walking out of the store with them, even if my Note 8 had it I wouldn't have been bothered. I guess I got super lucky with my 8 (which NEVER happens to me)- I can turn it up to full brightness with an all white image and sit in the dark and there is not a single blip of light leaking through the sides. That said, I will gladly trade my Note 8 with someone else's who is annoyed with their light bleed.

Totally kidding, you'll never get my perfect Note 8 from me!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] lockieio:
Hi all. I have a question. When it comes to s8 puls, does s8 plus have light bleed compared with note 8?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] :
The light bleed is exactly the same amount and exactly the same location on my S8 Plus as on my Note 8. A case blocks the light bleed on both of them. Solid color case, of course. No transparent case.

---------- Post added at 03:33 ---------- Previous post was at 03:28 ----------

It's to be expected. When some of us have paid such a large amount of money for a phone we expect them to be as perfect in build as they're meant to be built. Like others have mentioned before the tape, or whatever, they used to block the light wasn't installed properly on a lot of our units, hence the light bleed. Because we're seeing this on some units and not others suggests this is a cosmetic flaw origination from the factory. Some of us like to use our phones without a case or with clear cases so the light can be quite distracting during daily use.

You pay this much for a phone you better make our unit to spec. No cosmetic flaws or return our money if we ask.

Personally, I'm living with it because the hassle to replace this phone is too annoying. I'm just going to keep my S8 Plus and Note 8 in a case (solid color) and block the light bleed. Just a shame that this is present underneath. Like, I know it's there but eventually hopefully I'll stop thinking about it.

These are champagne problems, of course. But it doesn't meant we're meant to remain quiet about such an issue. Especially with the money involved.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] slyphnier:
i believe most unit have some light leaks.

and people reporting that without, cant say they not saying true, but without pictures there no proves either

well beside light leaks, there are other things more important, such like display color-tint... pink display

and "real" hardware defect like deadpixel, scratches, failing parts, etc.

and there also chipping quality/binning...

getting perfect device, means none manufacture defect, light leak - great/natural display tint - high quality chip above 8 in CL0,1,G3D is just like finding needle in a haystack

so as long you didnt find any issue with your device, maybe keep it better than replacing it

as replacement doesnt means better than the one you got
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Limeybastard:
Indeed, I agree. I think most manufacturers would use the word " tolerance" to prevent certain warranty claims.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Ryland Johnson:
It is very common to ALL Samsung Edge type mobiles starting with the S6 Edge right through the Edge range.

I am NOT a fan of the rounded edges and highly prefer a flat screen so I can protect it with a screen saver. No option with the present S and Note range. :crying:

Main point is the vast majority of punters don't even know about it. It tends to become a problem for technophiles like us who look at every aspect of the mobile. One chap in this thread actually had his mobile under a bloody microscope for Gods sake? I mean OCD is fine but that took the biscuit lol :p

Ryland :highfive:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] whtbox:
a Dumb suggestion. Would applying Permanent marker on the side block the light leakage? Not that it Bothers me as mine living in the Spigen rugged armor case and never noticed it until I stumble across this threads.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Ryland Johnson:
Thank you for this post. You are in the vast majority. Continue to enjoy your Note 8. :highfive:

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] shootermc77:
I get 3 note 8 black, all of them has the light bleeding!! one more than the other but all have it on the left side and one on the right side too.

one of the midnight gold has it too, but with the silver contrast you cant see it. i now took a golden one.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] usmaak:
I took a look at both my phone and my wife's and both of them have it. It's minor on both phones. They're both in Tech21 cases and within a month, I'll have forgotten that this even existed. The next time I'll think about it will be when the Note 9 comes out, if it has a curved screen. ;)

---------- Post added at 12:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:59 AM ----------

There's no such thing as permanent marker. Some markers last a lot longer than others, but eventually it'd need to be reapplied. I also don't know what the chemicals in permanent marker ink are and what they might do to the glass or seal or whatever. I have a permanent marker and it has a very strong smell. Like a "do not smell this" type of smell.

I keep my phone on 30% brightness unless outside. Plus it's in a case that blocks the edges from visibility. I will literally never notice this unless I take my phone out of the case and crank up the brightness.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] :
I mean... I think most of us still enjoy it but can still be critical of this issue at the same time. They're not mutually exclusive. Unless you just only want to read positive comments about this phone to make you feel better?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] shootermc77:
the price of this phone is hugh! and this not less money for me.

if i pay this price, i want a phone without a fault. Cover on the phone or not, i want a nice looking phone without this ugly line.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Crazy CS:
So at the same angles on my phone you can't see the light leak.

However at a steeper angle of 45 degrees you can see it.

Based on these photos it is inconclusive that this device does not have an issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] fixmypcnow247:
Ha Mr Ryland i finally got a good one must have been a crappy first production batch also Verizon tech support manager said his is fine and he has had a bunch of returns and none of the edges in store had any refraction issues so sorry it is bull on Samsung's quality control so to all get a replacement asap cause it is not normal period anyone who says different should never make or sell products especially flagship ultra premium hansdests.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] leyvatron:
Cannot be considered inconclusive because I own the Note 8 and lightbleed is not present at a 0, 45, 90, 270, or 360 degree angles. I would recommend getting the phone replaced if you do have lightbleed.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] fixmypcnow247:
Just talked to Samsung's support they acknowledge the edge light bleed refraction issue is a cosmetic defect and it is being addressed at the manufacturing plants level so that's good news for all.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] usmaak:
So, annoying but not potentially harmful to the phone. Good to know, and thanks for posting this.

Other than ever so minor "light bleed", my phone's been great so far. I am not jumping on the screen lottery train again. But everyone's decision is their own and everyone should do what makes them most comfortable, regardless of what's said in a thread on a forum. :)

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] petzku:
Just took my Note 8 to the dealer about the lightbleed. They send it to the warranty service. Lets see it goes.

My Note 8 is the Exynos version and black color and preordered.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] MACHEK:
So I purchased a Skinomi full Techskin kit about $13, to wrap the sides and back of my Note 8. The application of it was pretty simple, there are videos online for it, on how to do it. The only weird thing about applying it is it pretty much doesn't stick at first when you place the solution on it, then as it dries it gets super sticky right away out of the blue. You can be moving it one second, then it just stays and is almost completely stuck on. You need to press down the edges and all and it takes about 45 minutes or less, but just keep revisiting it to press it down more. The back was ok, got some cloudiness (which they say is normal for a day or so) and maybe a couple of slight bubbles but I don't really care, it was mainly to prevent scratches. Attached are the pictures of what it looked like when I got it, and what it is like on the phone. You can feel it for sure, not as smooth as it transitions from one part to the other, but again, I got it to prevent scratches. I did not place the screen protector on it, because I was putting on tempered glass.

In addition you will see tempered glass, which I actually surprisingly feel like its good. No loss of feel at all, it just doesn't go all the way to the edges but the edge features all still work. Its a Luuvvit one, which I bought from amazon for about $11.00
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Kawaisa:
Looks nice. Beats what I have on mine right now. Mine looks like a high 5 year old did it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] MACHEK:
Holy crap that was funny!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] MACHEK:
I'll actually post some better pictures tomorrow on it. Realized these are not as good as they were taken right after. I'm amazed how unnoticeable it is, really liking this purchase.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] oneandroidnut:
I have my skinomi ordered i put it on all my phones. Great protection from dirt and dust getting around case edges etc etc. Keeps them brand new looking
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] MACHEK:
Ok here are some better daytime pictures and bubblesare gone now
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] MACHEK:
And last one
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] pyraxiate:
I did mine too with a skinomi full body skin before putting it into my case. I always full body wrap every phone because.....Why not? Dirt ALWAYS makes it's way between a case and the body of a phone. The skin keeps the dirt off and keeps the body like new! The guy at T-Mobile didn't believe I had the S7 Edge for a year until he looked up my account!

Fyi I dropped it on concrete and asphalt literally over a hundred times.

I'm not using the skinomi screen protector though. My Zizo Bolt case came with a Tempered glass protector that seals on the edges, but I've been super impressed and will keep it on until it breaks. Zizo is an awesome company! No sensitivity loss and super clear. Also no rainbow or bubbling. Yes there's a small dot matrix pattern though ( UGH ) but it's not visible at all on the screen while it's on, even in the sunlight.

I had the bolt on my s7 edge too. I love the case and it held up just as good as any otter box defender which I've used on tons of other phones. Like I said, it's been dropped a lot! Lol

Oh and a heads up...... hit it with a hair dryer and let it sit a day before using any tight fitting case or you will peel it up as you put the case on. Been there and done that. Learned my lesson. I LOVE skinomi skins but I equally like the IQ Shield too. Both make good stuff. IQ SHIELD feels a hair less rubbery but both are great!

Lmao love it !
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] xile6:
I always use skinomi screen protectors. Never got the full wrap since i always use a case.

My s8 plus, I have the skinomi screen protector and a rhionshield crash guard all works great together and the back of the phone doesnt touch so it never got scratched.

Order the same for my note 8. Im waiting for my crash guard to come in. probably at the end of the month, ill be caseless then then :(

And a tip is to lightly spray the phone. Then lay the protector on and push the bubbles out from the inside to the edge. Then run your fingers up and down the edges for a few minutes and it should stick. Then i let dry for 5mins and then rub everything again.

been doing that since the note 4 edge and has always work.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] pyraxiate:
Trust me even with a case, use a full body wrap! It not only keeps dirt off but acts as another cushion for impact even with a good case. They are worth the money for our nearly 1000$ device lol
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] MACHEK:
How does the screen protector feel? Just like the back part? Or is it different material?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] xile6:
I did a blind test with my wifes phone before (she remove hers from one of her old phones. I believe the s7e)

You can tell which is skinomi and and which is bare. The bare is slicker.

But overall if its very smooth and people wouldnt know it was there. 100% clear and no gel or ruff feels to it. Ive been using them for years and to me there the best.

Also you can get a 2pack for around $7 ship so if one wears out you can just put the other one on.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Limeybastard:
You must be my doppleganger, thats the sort of **** I normally do, i always seem to use the pretexts of "temporarily". Cutting pieces of car clear bra and sticking them on my ****. Lol[emoji2] love it
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] ca12bon:
SKinomi has been a weird brand for me. It gets decent reviews but sometimes people hate it. I always get Skinomi for all my phones, imported to Korea because they don't sell them here. I love how thick it is, compared to other "films", which means extra protection. I also like how after a while the solution just seems to have some kind of a chemical reaction with the film itself, and makes the film look very glossy and clear like .... actual glass. Once I get a Note 8 again, I will probably put dome glass on the front, and another layer of skinomi on top, and the back will only be protected by Skinomi. I swear by this stuff, it's in a different league from other films.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] magichoward:
Does it show the s. Pen marks also can you send me a link where you buy them I'm on Thailand Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] ca12bon:
Ahh actually, yes it shows the s.Pen marks, so don't put one in the front. For the front, use Glass dome, for the back skinomi. THis is the only one I could find on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Galaxy-Prote...sr=8-1&keywords=skinomi+note+8+back+protector

Does anyone know if you use the internet sharing program on DCD's rom. Will the provider know if your traffic is tethered?

thanks.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Mills00013:
i use the internet sharing quite constantly using DCDs rom. I have flashed every version he has done since 2.0 (about a flash a day). every one of them tethers fine for me. the speeds are incredible, i got about 1500kbps today on speakeasy, it was exciting. as far as the carrier finding out, i really dont know if there is a difference or not. i think data looks like data to them. i really dont know since i speak from the perspective of an alltel customer, who doesnt have to worry about that because unlimited thethering is included.
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] hellseyfer:
Is my first time with these phones and I wonder if I have to so a partition or somewhat if I want to try new roms and without losing my files
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] templeka:
Simpler way is to just do a full ROM backup in TWRP. That way you can install whatever ROM you want but you can always go back to your current ROM.

What you specifically want is Multiboot or Dual boot. Never tried it on this phone myself but I did see a thread about it around here.
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] BlackJetCat:
You mean apps data or only photos and music?
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] hellseyfer:
Photo músic, like i had an sd Cars to backup
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] templeka:
If you only need for photos and music just don't format internal storage. You don't need to format internal anyway when installing new ROM.

Copy and replace the entire "SemDualAppManager" (file in framework.jar folder downloaded). Recompile

- Deocompile services.jar

Copy and replace the entire "DualAppManagerService" (file in services.jar folder downloaded). Recompile

- Copy folder "DAAgent" file in app folder downloaded to system/app and set permission. Enjoy:):):):)

Note: To use this feature please go to "Settings /Advanced features/Dual messenger"

* How to use Dual Messenger for all applications

By default Dual Messenger only supports 17 messenger & social apps

Includes the following applications:

1: Facebook

2: Messenger

3: What app
