[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] twistanesh:
Anyone else getting face unlock issues? It works fine then suddenly stops working. Says it can't recognize a face. If I try to delete and re program the facial recognition, an error shows up saying the feature isn't working and the phone needs to be restarted. After restart, it works fine again. Happens now once daily.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] bvahedy:
yes, I am having the same issue though it's perhaps once every three weeks.

I tried clearing the cache and data in the App manager but did nothing.

I am thinking it might be the app that scans for apps and it they are not used within three days it puts them to sleep. But that shouldn't cause it not to even run.

I think this is why Samsung put an option in the settings to auto restart your phone weekly or what not.

I like to rip some files from a hp 514 rom (PLT_2.05.00_1007.BLOSGSM.nbf). I don't own a HP 514 phone.

kozhura said you first have to convert a nbf to nba.

Don't know the password to extract with xda3nbftool.exe

Been reading whole internet for two day's but nothing about how to convert a nbf to nba or how to strip the header of the nbf.

I'm stuck:(

Who can help me out:confused:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ColeTrain!:
Ok. So I have skills. Rusty skills from the Note 2. Ran it till it died. Grabbed this Note 5 a couple months ago. Cant take the lag and bloat any more. I don't mind trying a couple ROM's but I dont want to go back to my flashaholic days.

I have two ROM's lined out that appear to be the best. Had some questions.

[MENTION=260923]ANyOne[/MENTION] [MENTION=1042140]tdunham[/MENTION] [MENTION=4246615]Chaz187[/MENTION]

1.Is there a best rom?

2. I am thinking the "mostly stock" ROM went on to become the MOAR rom?

3. If the MOAR is stable, leaning tward that. Looking for stability, and lag free game playing. (Sorry, hooked on Robot Wars)

4. There is stuff about "mini boot loaders" thats new to me.

I am on Nougat now, am I good to follow the instructions? I dont have to flash a Marshmellow tarball do I? I dont want a Marshmallow rom, I dont think.

5. Bob mentioned to use MOAR and use stock kernel.

Hoping to flash Thursday, any feedback by then would be great. Do we have a Dev for the phone? Or has [MENTION=1042140]tdunham[/MENTION] moved on?

These are the ROMs i have eye'd out. And my current stock config.

I have the bigger srorage phone, does that matter? Just checking.

Last question. For the "stock roms" if I need it, which one do I pick? None of them match me.

Please advise thanks.

Thanks in advance.

The day has come. Not one post. Guess I am going solo. Fingers crossed!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] internetpilot:
Aw, man! I've moved on from the Note 2 to the Nexus 6, but since my perfectly working Note 2 is my "hot backup device" this thread got me all excited about Nougat on the Note 2. Then I noticed it was about the Note 5. :(

I still can't believe that our poor ol' Note 2 didn't even get LineageOS even though the other carriers' Note 2 did.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] coldspring22:
Three years on... only Note 2 on sprint (sph-l900) is still userful as mobile device. Verizon, AT&T, Tmobile Note 2 are now just spare parts as they not volte device. Too bad there is no nougat rom for sph-l900, even though I read that somone successfully installed eelo t0lte nougat rom on sph-l900. CM13 (marshmallow) is the latest you can get on sph-l900 and it seem to be stable and good enough to run most apps. Conversion of lineageOS 14.1 (nougat) t0lte rom to sph-l900 shouldn't be too hard but there is really nobody who is clamoring for it at this point.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] twistanesh:
So, I was excited to get this installed and I did a really good job with it. It's really clear and for the most part looks great on the phone. Sensitivity is also on point.

But I have two quips.

#1. The edges of the glass protector are sharp. I was intending to use the phone naked but because of how sharp it is I have to keep a case on to get that weird feeling of two screens gone.

#2. The edges of the glass catch so much dirt and dust because of the adhesive. If I try and clean it off it gets worse cuz the adhesive then balls up and becomes part of the dirt.

I'm really not happy with how the dirt looks. Showing off my new phone to people they asked me why it's dirty like that. And I think I did an excellent job with the install, I cleaned off everything I could after the first cure. Anyone else have these concerns?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Whitestone Dome Glass:
Hey!

This is Whitestone! I am so sorry about has happened to you. By reading your post, I would just have to give a guess that UV light was not enough or the glass did not fully stick. Sometimes edges may be sharp and dirt may get in because the space in between the glass and the LCD display may have thicker adhesive layer than other installations. If you could contact us through the website you bought it from, we may be able to help you out!

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Mike02z:
Good to hear. I purchased my first Dome Glass directly from you via eBay. The bridge was broken in half but I tried to install it anyway. Glue went everywhere and the liquid did not fill the very top of the protector. It's been 4 days and no response to my request for a refund.... I've already purchased a new one at Amazon as they don't give me any issues with returns. Please respond via eBay. Same user name on eBay as here. As you know, this is the most expensive screen protector available for the Note 8. While it seems like a great protector, you guys should be bending over backwards when a customer has a problem when these cost 50 bucks. I'm holding out hope that you will do the right thing.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Ry2mkk:
Watching this thread as I was about to purchase one of these..... Hopefully like you say... $50 should at least give you better than this in regards to customer service
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] hx4700 Killer:
I too am interested in their Customer Service. As I have said in another post and on my Amazon review, there is NO EXCUSE why there aren't two protectors in a product that costs $50 period. If they want better market penetration they need to ease some minds and remove the risk of flushing $50 down the toilet if the first attempt goes off poorly. I have already heard that from more than one person as why they won't buy one.

I followed all the directions, was very careful during the install even to the point of wearing mask and gloves so I couldn't blow dust on the screen while working. All that effort during the install was successful for a clean dust free install but I still ended up with a bubble on the left side of the display because I couldn't see it under/through the Jig that holds the phone and holds the glass in the right place to know there was a bubble there :/ Every time I look at the screen that bubble "lights up" like a neon sign saying "Hey you screwed up" and bugs me. I will absolutely NOT be spending another $50 for this again to correct that mistake.

This product could be NUMBER ONE in the US market if they added that ease of mind of a complete do-over installing the glass if a mistake is made even after drying the glue. That and an actual break warranty like

ALL

of their competition has. Instead they charge $40 now (was $35 a couple days ago) for the "refill kit" ??

Whitestone Dome is the best looking, best finger sensitive protector I have ever used (12 years and counting). My friends and colleagues won't touch it at that price for fear of blowing the install and being out that amount of money when the can spend 1/5th the money on something else. I can't say I disagree with them. I was very excited to receive it and try it out. I wanted this phone to look the best it could. In the end I took my time, did it right but still ended up with a mistake :/ Now it is both a source of joy in that for the most part it looks good, but also embarrassment/frustration over a simple mistake I can't fix without spending double the money. Instead of showing off my phone and telling people what I bought and them thinking that they should get one too, what happens is they know me a guy who fixes phones (even displays) and has never had an imperfect install of a screen protector until now living with a bubble due to the price. One of my friends actually said "If you couldn't do it right, what chance in hell do I have?"

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Ry2mkk:
Don't blame you mate for not wanting to spend another 5% of your phones total cost.

2 of these equate to 10% of what you roughly paid for the device...How does that even make sense ...10% for the equivalent of 2 glass protectors which probably cost less then a few dollars to the manufacturer.

Unfortunately at this time they are the only ones with this product and will continue to sell at this price point
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] skinnytoo2:
I'll return mine if they don't step up and take care of their customers!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] iowamoe300:
+1 on this! I thought it was just me . I have had 2 of them do this. The other I installed for a friend and he hasn't said anything. If you try to remove that glue and dust on the edge it just makes it worse. Then you have a weird dirty looking spot right on the edge. I can give you a perfect example. Just below the speaker at the top where your ear might hit during use the edge looks ragged and dirty. Had this thing on for 3 days.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] twistanesh:
That area especially looks the worst!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] twistanesh:
Thanks for your response, I'll go ahead and direct message you guys!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] twistanesh:
Wow sounds like you went through a lot there. Hopefully they get this resolved for you
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] iowamoe300:
I did send them an email with pictures and my receipt. I bought 3 whitestones from mobilefun.com and they don't even have any in stock anymore. Mobilefun also put a note in the package that basically says no warranty replacements. Let us know if you hear back from whitestone and I will do the same.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] SquidgyB:
I'm sad to say that Whitestone's QC isn't the best either, which was surprising to me given the rather high price of admission...

I'm in the process of returning one of the dome protectors through Amazon - the glass itself had an imperfection which showed up like a dust bubble between the tempered glass and the plastic initial protector - it was visible as soon as I took the tempered glass out of the package to start the process.

I thought it was dust to begin with, but no amount of alcohol wipes or dust removal stickers worked, and as soon as the plastic protector was put back, the "dust bubble" re-appeared.

I didn't try to install the protector properly as I wasn't happy paying £40 for a protector with a defect.

Not entirely sure I want to roll the dice again, especially given the fact that the edges are sharp - I was expecting a sort of "2.5D glass" beveled edges to be honest - are these available on curved edge tempered glass protectors? If so I might go down the DIY loca route rather than get another Whitestone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] moon2eth:
Amazon sellers are required to maintain a certain product defect / return rate, FBA or not.

Buy only from Amazon and return it if you didn't get a working product. First comes the performance "review" (month ban) then a permanent termination. Hit them where it hurts. They'll either have to step up their customer service and provide replacement kits for free or lose product exposure on the largest e-commerce site.

Though to be honest they'll probably buy/setup another account under the guise of a distributor at that point.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] SquidgyB:
Well, I decided that if I was going to return it, I might as well give it a try and see how it goes on, and the "tiny dust bubble", which appeared to be a very slight imperfection in the glass (I couldn't feel it, but you could see reflections in the glass being distorted) has "blossomed" into a nasty looking pinkish-purple mark, visible on both black and white backgrounds.

And half an hour later two air bubbles have developed next to the pink mark as well. They seem to be forming into a sort of halo shape around the defect. e: the bubble is now a full ring with 1-2mm separation between the bubble and the defect e: #2 Ok, now it's a 1cm wide "spider bubble". Weird.

I'm absolutely positive that it isn't a piece of dirt/dust under there - it was perfectly clean before I put the protector on, the pinkish-purple mark only appeared when the glue was applied. The mark also "floats" ever so slightly above the air bubbles, as it it part of the glass protector.

I'm going to try and contact Whitestone directly and request a replacement glass only, if at all possible. I'd prefer to keep the phone protected for now, even if that means a hideous mark right in the middle of my screen.

The applicator works great though, really simple and effective - and damn satisfying to watch, too!

After reading this I've decided against purchasing this specific screen protector. I bought three different types on Amazon, on my second one and am completely satisfied. It looks as good or better than pics in this thread and all three were cheaper than one Whitestone Dome.

Currently I'm using this one...

I installed mine last night w/ my new Note 8. I used my countertops which I know are level and spent SO much time making sure there was no lint, etc. Bought through Amazon. Had a couple 10 dollar protectors in case this didn't do the trick. I followed instructions to the T, and even did more UV light afterwards for good measure. I'll be happy to report that mine turned out better than expected. Really happy with it. Is it worth 40+ bucks? Not sure but if customer service helps you out and ships you a new one I'm sure it will be. I can't count the number of 10 dollar 'glass' and other screen protectors I've purchased over the years. If this is the only one I have on my Note 8, it will also be worth it. Side note: Using Spigen tough armor and it lines up almost perfect....no room for error at all.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Y0sHii:
Just installed mine a few hours ago and the glue itself had some type of dust particle in it. Luckily I improvised and used a canned air compressor straw to pick it out while also making sure no dust from my environment made it on the glass. After about 30 mins of cleaning and removing that odd dust particle, I finally let the glass down and the adhesive take hold. I waited about 5 minutes, used the lamp and noticed the edges weren't completely covered by adhesive. Nevertheless, I did the lamp step then thought I was finished. Wrong... I never took my phone out of the frame... Long story short I glued my phone to the inside of the frame. After breaking the frame apart and plastic shards flying everywhere I had my phone out with adhesive on the back. 10 mins later all glue wiped away from the back and sides of the phone and I'm finished. Here's photos of the corners not being completely covered on the glass
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] hx4700 Killer:
Glad you got a good looking install! Most of the ones I have seen/read have at least one issue :/ even the reviewers for cases that fit of the dome itself all had at least bubbles if not more issues :/
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] gwar11d2:
Yah, mine came from Whitestone Direct via Amazon. Maybe that helped? I can see where these can be very prone to error though. Even the tinest of tiny dust particle or if your table isn't level is going to throw off the installation.

Just to be clear, the snapdragon S8 and S8+ is currently still vulnerable to blueborne, no it won't help us get deeper into the kernel (pretty idiotic idea) and no it's not vulnerable because selinux is permissive.

Before going into detail, I'd like to mention what I read on here so far:

It IS possible to use ODIN to flash the unlocked firmware to the t-mobile Note 8

I found a step by step guide on here that describes how to flash the aforementioned firmware

The hardware in the unlocked Note 8 and t-mobile Note 8 is identical

Now considering the above facts, am I missing out on anything if I cancel my currently back-ordered unlocked Note 8 from Samsung's website and instead order the t-mobile version, which costs exactly the same and will ship this week?

Also, I am on Cricket Wireless (AT&T MVNO). Is unlocking the t-mobile Note 8 for use on other carriers a straightforward process? How long does this usually take?

Thanks in advance!

Unlocking can be difficult

The firmware for unlocked should work fine on tmobile version. Infact i am using the unlocked firmware on my S7 edge which is better that the original in terms of bloatware and performance. Based on what i read in other forums, buying tmobile is fine but getting it unlocked in the future might be a pain. Because of this reason, i am going to wait for the backordered note 8 even though there is delay.

Spending nearly $1000 on a phone and being expected to wait a month for it to ship does not work for me. Because of this, I have cancelled my order and will not be buying one anymore.

[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] panchodmb:
Hello!, I'm about to buy the Zuk Z2 phone tomorrow, it's the Aliexpress one that comes with multilang ROM (I think there's only one seller so I don't have anything to add about it). Anyone tested this ROM? Never flashed a phone so don't know if should I or not.

Main features I liked from the phone are the U-Touch swipping thing, front fingerprint sensor and camera, but looking at the forums, custom ROMs has less features on the camera (and I think they also get worse quality), also viewed a review that said that after 3 months of use, the fingerprint sensor started failing to recognize his fingerprint at the first two or three tries. Does the problems get solved with those ROMs? What about the camera? It gets really worse? Are there custom ROMs with the great performance, battery life, qc3 enabled and also stock camera or there's not such a perfect one yet?

Thank you a lot!
