Hmm, I tried this and out just double clicks the home button. If there were a way to only hard press the screen to get the home button to press, then it would prevent my thumb from hitting the damn thing when try to hit the space bar.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Tidbits:
There is. I mentioned it earlier in the thread. You may have yours set to the lowest setting.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] slaapliedje:
I actually had it on the highest to try to make it so I would stop hitting it accidentally while I typed, but it doesn't affect the virtual nav bar, which is there while I type.

Still no luck on 3, 4 or 5. What model of Note 8? I have the unlocked version and apparently there are some differences (someone elsewhere had found that the unlocked version is missing the option to turn off the shutter sound on the camera app for example.)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Tidbits:
I have the T-Mobile version. I generally run full screen unless the app crashes then I turn it off.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] SteelPicori:
The hard press does not affect how the virtual nav bar behaves, the best thing to do is to hide the virtual nav bar (double click that dot on the far left, swipe up and double click that dot again to have it sticky again, if you don't see the dot than enable it under display->navigation bar->show and hide button), use hard press to activate the home button (works irregardless if you have the nav bar visible or not and in all apps)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Tidbits:
I see what he is saying. You can't hide the nav bar. See attached photo. Mine is hidden until the keyboard comes up.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] SteelPicori:
Ah gotcha, I completely forgotten about that, I'm guessing you can't get rid of it because of the dismiss keyboard key.

Tweaks but..

I recently change to Note 8 from the S8+ and saw this Tweak that works brilliantly but not all are working properly on the Note 8. Modder seems to imply he will update if you donate him or something. not clear. So here you go, follow this thread or wait until he decide to tweak for the Note 8 users.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] herpi:
But changing the sensitivity does not prevent me from $%#@!&%## accidentally pressing it while typing the spacebar, so leaving my app.

The navbar always comes up when using Gboard.

Any solution?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Tidbits:
Read two posts above yours :) it happens with all keyboards. The only thing I can think of is may the keyboard slightly taller and aim higher.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] herpi:
Now I use the "one hand" option. The distance keyboard/navbar is bigger now.

You can also resize it and place it in the middle.

My biggest problem is the samsung "look through" cover. (59 euro)

I am used to swing the cover to the backside, so covering the fingerprint.

Now I switched fingerprint off on my banking apps, and even lastpass and am back at good old pincode.

Stupid? Help me!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] arange:
Remapped the Bixby button to "navbar toggle", usually have the navbar hidden, hit the bixby button to bring up the back or multitask when i dont feel like swiping, and use the hard press home most of the time.

I kinda prefer this setup since the back button has a lot fewer accidental presses (esp from ppl who are taking a picture for me and dont realize that there are 2 hidden buttons in the bezel when i used the note 7)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] vinokirk:
Been on the Nexus 6P for two years, so no home button isnt an issue for me. When I see a phone with one now, I can only think how retro it looks. It's like in the olden days when smart phone had the green and red phone buttons! When manafactures started removing them, everyone was up in arms!

The thing that gets me about the N8 now is how the screens edges are currved. I cant see any need to do that at all, except for it too look good. And that IMHO is some Apple like BS.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] UberPishy:
I thought the lack of a physical button would really bother me but it doesn't at all. I actually really prefer it now.

The only problem it's caused is that I sometimes have to take a good look at my phone when I take it out my pocket because sometimes it's upside down and I'm hopelessly pressing on top of the screen.

---------- Post added at 12:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:11 AM ----------

Your perception of a physical home button is primarily aesthetic, which is fair enough but you disparage the aesthetic value of the edge screen. Whether you recognise it or not, fashions, trends and novel features are far more important than most people give them credit for.

The edge screen has become an iconic design from Samsung and now it differentiates them from everyone else. Easy to say it's Apple like BS but brand recognition is important, especially when a couple of years ago most disinterested people assumed that every smartphone was an Apple. They might not be interested in the tech but if they notice people with these curved screen phones, it legitimises Samsung as a credible option when they go for a new phone. I know so many people who would never consider buying anything but an iPhone, simply because it's popular and everyone else can't be wrong; those same people notice edge screens and whether they particularly like the design or not, the price could easily sway them away from Apple.

I just got used to the fingerprint scanner / hard button on my LGV20. I'm ok with there not being a button on the Note 8 but I still try to mash the sensor sometimes.

I'll get over it.

What about a quick double tap on the power button? That activates the camera on my T-Mobil Note 8. I'm not sure if that is native or I've set something up, however. I've poked around with so much that I've lost track. Sorry.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Stank0:
I hated that button with passion. Good riddance. Finally.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] EP2008:
I actually really love not having a physical button. Looks clean.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] _MetalHead_:
The curved screen improves the overall UX, IMO. I hated it when I first got the Note 7 but quickly grew to love it. Phones with flat screens feel cheap to me now and a LOT less luxurious.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] vinokirk:
I agree, the curved screen does make it feel more luxurious. That is the only benefit I can see.

Overall I do love this phone though. The Ringke Onyx is such a good fit as well
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] yiyi28:
You can hard press the home button area, so theoretically you still have a home button, and you use it like a home button. Not sure why people complain?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] :
Thread cleaned.

Please be civil and treat all users with respect.

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] :
There a setting I can choose to block people's signatures? For Christ's sake, some of these things have giant banners soliciting business and are just a real eye sore. Anyway, the only thing I miss from not having a home button, as a Note user, is not being able to use my S-Pen to hit the home button like I used to all the time on my Note 5. Other than that everything is cool.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] pyraxiate:
The hard press home button setting works best for me with the pressure turned all the way down. It still has a haptic feedback and works from screen off settings too. I like having a thinner bezel personally and the IRIS scanner works pretty well. Fingerprint is just my backup so I don't mind it being on the back.

I got an official Samsung dual fast charger on Amazon for $11 last year. It's great.

I use this one, and it fast charges 2 Note 8s at the same time with no problems.

Get the real samsung one. It's like 17 bucks and can fast charge 2 samsung fast charge devices at the same time. Many of the cheap aftermarket ones can't do 2 at the same time.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] pyraxiate:
I have this one and it works great. I'd have preferred a 4 port like my last one but all 3 ports on this will quick charge my s7 for work and my note 8. My 4 port only had 1x quick charge so it's a trade off :)

My Dell venue 11 pro convertible ( i5 / 8gb ddr3 / 256gb Ssd) charges fine with this as well.

Okay I want to set the record straight I have the 3D OnePlus official screen protector on my phone and it's the business I'm talking this thing is solid I can't notice any cut off from the side either it is fantastic so whoever tells you don't coP the OnePlus screen protector, I bet you nothing will make them happy. I got the OnePlus 3t (I mean 5), I been sold my 3t . I got the oneplus 5 screen protector the carbon case, VoLTE and tether. I'm stoked. I even had a little crumb or something under the screen protector so I lifted it up and use the tape that they provided put it back through and everything looks great the reason I made this thread is because I keep hearing people Bash the screen protector I don't understand why, it's the best, it works good, actually everything I bought from oneplus is good, I've never done a RMA, cuz I know how to clear cache and do a clean Flash, I'm so sick of reading everybody hate.

Can anyone recommed me an android tracking app for samsung pls!

I was so worry about may daugher! Recently she’s been very disobedient towards me and my husband, she would yell back at us if something we said upset her; The other day I was able to spy on her phone. She has been texting with some strange people and seems they’ve met several times too! I and my husband are very worried, we’d tried talking some sense into her but it was pointless and often ended with her storming out. I worry that she might be hanging out with wrong types of people but there is no way for us to find out :(

So pls help me to protecting my kid.

Seems Firefox (my preferred browser) does not work in the DeX Station. Pretty weird since it specifically has a tablet mode and works pretty much identical to the desktop version on my Note Pro 12.2.

Anyone know of a workaround?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] calinormy:
There are a lot of apk's that can extend to full screen any phone apk. Even in samsung own menu there is developer options under dex setting that alow any apk to run in full screen.

I guess that' your question about...

Search in.play store for dex
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] slaapliedje:
No such luck. The setting is Samsung DeX Labs, "Attempt to resize apps that aren't officially supported by Samsung DeX." and Firefox still says it wasn't designed for it.

"Firefox can't run in Samsung Dex. It is designed for phone touch screens." is the text that appears. I personally think they blacklisted it so that people would be forced to use their browser.

Though Chrome does seem to work.

Going into the Developer mode worked for me. It didn't immediately, I had to take my Note 8 off the dock and put it back on. I wasn't even looking for it to work because I had tried without undocking it . After I redocked my note 8. I had a full screen baby !!!!!!!!!!. Thank You to the fella that suggested that. Hopefully we can work together and get some consensus going on what works for these issues. This Dex has a lot of potential and I want to take full advantage of it.

Solution works for Firefox Nightly on the Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 9 also. Simply restart DeX by disconnecting it from and then reconnecting it to the external monitor for the dev mode change to take hold. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Preafectus:
Thank you the for information.

I now have FireFox Beta 68.167 running on my Samsung Galaxy Note 8, on the DeX station.

I followed the instructions in the previous posts above then took the phone off the Dex station, on replacing the phone on the Dex station I started up FireFox!

I will post further if there are any issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] jdrch:
Try rebooting instead.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] passserby:
Same issue, can't open Firefox on DeX - strange though because I did have it working for a while. Now, can't get it to work despite developer mode, reconnecting HDMI, rebooting etc etc many times. Also tried complete factory reset before reinstalling FF & retrying.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] jpxsat:
Confirming that today, DEX on S9+ with Android 10/Windows 10, Firefox works.

Going into dev mode and activating Dex labs, unplug and replug. Trick is done.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Tommy544:
How does Firefox browser work for you? I am running DeX on my Galaxy S10 and Firefox is basically unusable in full screen, as for some reason most websites are shown extremely zoomed in and I can't find a way how to zoom out. As en example, I open google webpage and the search bar spans across the whole width of my TV.

This could be an issue with Firefox not being optimized for use in Dex Mode

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Karl-Heinzchen:
Doesn't seem to work anymore. Can you guys check/verify/confirm?

I'm on Samsung Note 9 with newest OS version.

UPDATE: To be precise about my status:

* DeX Labs is active, and I can't even deactivate it via Android Developer Mode.

* App Size Adjustment and "Reopen last opened app automatically" settings are active.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Karl-Heinzchen:
Sry guys, all good. I just misinterpreted the post about "Firefox Nightly".

Solution: Firefox Nightly is currently not just about incremental improvements, but it is a whole new browser. Firefox Beta is also working on DeX - thus Firefox "Production Version" will be supporting DeX quite soon, definitely this year.

I've been using PDP for a few months now, but do not like the fact that the source code isn't open for an application that has administrative access.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] GadgetAvi:
I also use Package Disabler Pro few months now, and just like you - I don't trust it!

That's why I also use NetGuard (No Root) firewall, so I've blocked internet access for Package Disabler, just in case it "Phones home" it won't be able to send anything back.

I used to root my device in order to remove bloatware and to have better security and privacy via AFwall+ and AppOps. since Android 6.0 we have permission manager built-in, and rooting only for firewall is pity. and because I have found Package Disabler, for the first time ever I haven't rooted my newest device, but can't trust this app!

Btw, anyone knows how it even works without root?

Not to mention with PDP you will have to rebuy it repeatedly and the developer will tell you to kick rocks if you want a refund or new key for the new app he uploads and disables the old verzion.
