Cut out your defender inner plastic

I've already wasted one expensive tempered glass (Araree tempered glass made in Korea, $29.99 + $8 international shipping to US).

When I used this expensive protector, there was some portion overlapped with Depender's inner plastic. Actually it made the tempered glass broken in the edge side.

So, what you can do is, using the sharp nife cut out Defender's plastic edge side where it contacts with glass screen protector. If you do this carefully, it won't look ugly. Or you can use the sand paper to remove some edge portion of plastic.

This Araree tempered glass (full cover) works great with Spigen neo hyprid case. No lift nor sensitivity loss.

I also found that Otterbox defender case works with Sammy's faster charger if we put the phone in the exact middle of the charger and with the charger plate is in plat position. But if we try to charge the phone with the charge plate is in vertical position, there was no way to charge the phone...

Wish I could have read this before I tried the UAG Prism case with the Best Buy installed Zagg glass protector. Cracked the upper left edge of the protector. I have an Otterbox Defender on and it's good. Unfortunately, right from the initial screen protector install, there was separation and touch sensitivity issues. Heading to Best Buy to have them put on another screen protector.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Mommyandnurse:
What screen protector will work with the otterbox defender for the Note 8?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] BigMosley:
The Note8 defender is "Screenless" with no plastic screen protector.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] kobridge:
You don't understand correctly about what I'm talking about. Of course Note8 defender does not have the plastic clear screen protector.

What I'm talking about is the plastic case portion and contacting with the Note8 screen edges. See the picture attached.

Update: Attaching additional pictures after placing full cover tempered glass from Araree. There's no loss of sensitivity or no lift issue. Because my current tempered glass was cracked when I used defender case without grinding edges, now I'm going to buy another tempered glass.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] winordieracin:
I know you all are really dealing with finding the perfect Steen protection with cases and what not but since there are a few people in here with defender cases I'm wondering if anyone elses note 8 is getting scratched to hell and back by the case. The sides one my black note 8 have small scratches everywhere. There are also tons of scratched where he plastic rests on the top and bottom bezel. It's never been in another case and went in the OtterBox while restoring all my data. BTW defender cases with zaggs curved glass. Unfortunately I can stand this Zaggs. I've loved them on most phones but this one's just ok. Have not tried any others.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] KA5TR0:
With my ottorbox defender, I used the Blu-element 3D curved glass screen protector. It is case friendly. Edge adhesive. They are cheap but do the job The first one lasted a day. the second lasted 2-3months but still protected the screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Schroeder09:
So some of u guys are GRINDING the edges of the tempered glass? Are you using a bench grinder? Sand paper? I actually cut a little bit of the corners out on my pixel 2 xl defender trying to accomplish the same thing. I thought about grinding the glass too but thought that this would surely break the glass.

My wife has a note 8 and I'm desperately looking for a tempered glass screen protector that works with the defender. I have had very good luck with my Defender. Why change? Some of these other "cases" on the markets that go around the edge/ frame while leaving the entire screen exposed without a raised edge around it are a joke. I wonder if consumers realize it. I don't think they do.

Zagg has a v3 protector out now called the invisible shield curved glass elite. It's full adhesive with supposedly no touch loss, rainbows, halos, dot matrixs, and doesn't require some silly installation with lights and glue. I was really excited...then I thought about the Defender and how they surely won't work together. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] skaulr32:
No, we've ground the edges of the Defenders hard plastic inner face piece. I installed the White Dome screen protector (which is friggin' awesome!) and then two days later after it cured installed it in a defender case only to have the corners immediately lift. So, I took my dremel tool and with a fine grinding stone carefully removed just enough material to not touch the screen protector. This seemed to work well until I dropped the phone on its bottom corner. It flexed just enough to shatter that corner of the protector. I will eventually save up enough money to buy another White Dome protector and I will remove a little more of the hard case edges to accommodate it better. All I can say is that the White Dome is definitely the best screen protector I've ever seen. Be careful though and follow the video instructions to the 'T' or it will not turn out well. The Defender case is also top notch. Just wish these companies would get together.....the resulting pairing would be a game changer!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Kepe63:
That's not what the website white stone has to say about the Defender Case. It's a no go

To be fair, he did say he had to use a dremel just to make it fit :)

I have just updated my P9 to nougat via this thread https://xdaforums.com/p9/help/p9-7-0-nougat-update-eva-lo9-b182-t3539754

The new rom has a magazine unlock screen that must be opened before you are shown the pattern unlock. I want to remove the magazine unlock screen completely so it goes immediately to the pattern unlock.

I have spent a few hours reading and cannot find anyway to do this. Are there new lock screens that can be installed with root access that will remove the magazine unlock screen? it is quite annoying as I have to swipe twice to unlock my phone now.

Can we start a thread of know apps /packages that can be disabled using whatever disabler app of your choice (be it 'bk package disabler' or whatever)

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] imatts:
Use BK Disabler and just choose "Disable All Bloatware", and it will disable everything that thousands of people have voted as safe to disable. Then go through that same list and enable the things you want back (email, music etc).

No need to make a list here. BK exists exactly for this reason.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ggrant3876:
I've disabled all of Knox, all of Bixby, all of Ant Radio, Secure folder, blue light, AOD, email, all the T-Mobile bloat, all edge except for apps edge, samsung internet and a few others I can't remember at the time.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] johnwayne27:
If all the features of the phone are going to be disabled, why not just get a cheaper phone like a lgv20? The bixby and all that do not hurt battery life at all. They just stay suspended in memory and make the phone what it is. 950$ is alot to spend to turn the note 8 in to a stripped down brick. A walmart BLU phone will have the same size screen and way cheaper :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ggrant3876:
Still have plenty of features, just disabled the one's I don't use - saves battery, especially Bixby.

Also dont forget to mention what carrier you have when you say what you disabled, since they have different things they stick on the phones.

Very good point.

---------- Post added at 09:50 ---------- Previous post was at 09:46 ----------

That's not really the point. You have hardware features on this Note 8 that aren't available on any other phone at any price (mainly the S-Pen). We don't want to compromise on the features that we want to keep but we do want to disable some SOFTWARE features that can be easily disabled. Even without root access. Which is why we appreciate apps like BK and other that can do this for us. You easily disabled stuff you don't want and you're left with software that you DO want and the awesome hardware to go along with it. No BLU phone will ever do what the latest Note series can.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] pete4k:
While I agree Note 8 is one of a kind, I also want to remind some of the members, be careful what you're disabling, some programs are dependent on others and it's not always obvious. For example after disabling everything related to facebook I couldn't install Oculus VR software, apparently Oculus uses facebook install manager. Also, different people have different definition of bloatware. What we really need is a list of all system apps and what do they do. I see a lot of people disable ANT+, but it's just communication protocol and shouldn't be using any battery and if it does, it means you're using it to communicate with something. Also some people disable GPS to save battery, but GPS doesn't run on it's own and doesn't use battery unless it gets location request from other programs, disable GPS access for programs you don't use, or better yet disable the program itself.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] douger1957:
^^This.^^

Did you know that if you disable Samsung's Contacts app... I prefer Google's version... your phone dialer disappears?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] xbkingx:
I generally disable apps/services that are for feature extensions that I don't use, and not the core features. In theory, the core feature should query the extension to get its status or check its enabled state, which would return null and end any processing. I'm less confident that the deeper OS hooks would do the same for the core features.

I use ANT+ devices regularly, and occasionally use Bixby and GearVR, so I keep those on.

Everyone should disable Mobile Services Manager. This used to be called DT Ignite. It's scummy, intrusive, and was so bad that they had to change the name to this generic bs in an attempt to avoid detection. (A quick google of 'DT ignite" should prove that to you.)

Disabled:

All Edge extensions, but not the main edge process, so edge lighting for notifications works.

- Apps Edge

- Clipboard edge

- CNN edge

- Yahoo Finance edge

- Yahoo Sports edge

- People edge

- Quick tools

- SBrowser edge

- Task edge

Hardware I don't own and don't plan on getting:

- Watch Manager stub

- LED Cover Service

- LED Icon Editor

- Samsung DeX

- Samsung DeX Home

Hardware I rarely use, but want to easily update, so favorited:

- Gear VR Service

- Gear VR Setup wizard

- Gear VR Shell

Features I don't use, so disabled:

- Briefing

- Galaxy Essentials Widget

- Game Launcher

- Game Optimizing Service

- Game Tools

Verizon apps disabled:

- Cloud

- Messages+

- Support & Protection

- Verizon Store Demo

- Verizon Location Agent

Verizon disabled but favorited (might occasionally use, but are constantly running in background if not disabled):

- My Verizon

- My Verizon Services

So 30 disabled entries, and I may look into a few others. Been running like this for 4 days and no problems with battery or mysterious errors or glitches. I chose several of these after I found them running and using small amounts of data or battery without me touching them, so they weren't completely innocuous. Most liked to update on wake or network connectivity changes.

Also, I went through all the apps I installed and was pretty heavy handed on denying them background data and unnecessary privileges, and setting power optimization. If it isn't tied to a widget I use, an alarm, or something I want synced/playing at a moment's notice, it gets stomped down. I think it's best to assume that every app will say it NEEDS data, even when it isn't being used or providing a timely service. I don't NEED GasBuddy to continuously update gas prices in the background on the off chance I might use it twice per month. It should update when I open it, and that's it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] pete4k:
Thanks for some comprehensive info.

Which brand software are you running? I don't see Mobile Service Manager on my t-mo set.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] umair239:
Exactly! Also disabling packages only messes up the battery life performance of the phone. Just wait and watch. The more people root, disable & **** with their device the more they regret and then come back making posts about how they're amazed at the ****ty battery life. Leave the device as it is and it works wonders.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
I guess maybe I'm one of the (probably many) lucky ones because I've never experience anything you've described on any of my phones that I've done this on. Oh well.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] umair239:
Well, I am certainly one of many ones who have stopped meddling with our phones since the galaxy note 5 and have seen much better overall experience. I understand you didn't experience anything I mentioned. I am also sure you never saw any posts about ****ty battery life in any of these app disabling threads lol....to each his own I guess.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
I think it just boils down to being careful with how you configure your device. Rooted or not. Obviously user experiences can vary but overall from what I've witnessed of other rooted and unrooted users who like to tinker with their devices the vast majority have been generally positive experiences. I've rooted since the S2 (Epic Touch 4G), so I've seen how bad and good things can be.

Generally, a simple thing like disabling some apps and service can be a safe option. I've done exactly this on my unrooted Note 8 and so far so good. Folks who make these posts are seeking advice and it's okay to try and help them if you're able to.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] umair239:
You're right. I agree. I stopped rooting after Note 5 because I saw terrible battery drain issues in all Android devices and never thought rooting and messing with native apps could be the cause. But in my case it was.

Any one has a link to BK plugin? My play store shows not available in my country
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] johnwayne27:
Good point
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] pete4k:
THIS IS EXACTLY why we need this thread, disabling wrong apps will do exactly as some of you already experienced, slower response poor battery life, things not working right etc, etc,

Doing this right requires knowledge, which we could share here, but it should make your phone run better, with much better battery life, I've seen it myself.

But most importantly WHY DON"T EVERYBODY LOOK AT LEFT TOP CORNER and actually read what type of forum this is: XDA DEVELOPERS, like in developing, improving, blazing new trails.

Verizon, Tmo, ATT , Samsung have dedicated support teams and dedicated forums, here if we don't make the phone boot loop, freeze or not work at all at least once, we are not doing it right.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] martinezma99:
I learned the hard way. I disabled everything on the bloat tab in BK Package Disabler and started having issues with call quality. A factory reset fixed everything. And no, I didn't touch anything on the system side.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] OutCastedSheep:
great advice.

May I ask where is this "Mobile Services Manager" located at? I don't see it any where, does it has a different app name like com.something.something? I have an unlocked no carriers note8.

Thanks.

I too were very spectacle on disabling bunch of apps since the note7.

Because I followed a list of almost 200 disabled apps in my note7, then I compared with my bros note7 which i only disabled about less than 40 app mostly bloats that no body uses.

The result of Battery life is not even that significant. 1 hour plus a little more sometimes just seems not worth all that risk of messing up the phone functionalities. To me, its not affecting my Everyday uses with the 1 + hours. I usually gets 50-60+ % left when I am home and I am a power user.

I found more and more practical and useful on most of the apps now on Samsung phones and didn't really bothered by them even I don't use them.

But, that just my opinion.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] xbkingx:
Mobile Services Manager is not a Samsung-specific app; it's installed by many US providers. So, if you bought yours outside the US or got it directly from Samsung, you shouldn't have it.

And I totally agree that all the disabling of apps isn't much of an issue anymore. It really helped on my S5, but now I disable unused stuff more to make maintenance easier and free up a little memory.

Everything went smoothly until we noticed that the Swipe to Hide Navbar is not working for some reason, as well as the Front Camera Video Recording doesn't work. I've already exhausted everything I know to somehow fix it but nothing worked.

I can't seem to find the right files in order for the Swipe to Hide Navbar to work. I've also tried messing with the camera files just to make the front video camera working and nothing worked.

Is there a specific file in /system/framework/ I need to modify for the Swipe to Hide Navbar? For the camera, is there something I need to modify within boot.img?
