Had the same issue - wasted one because the yellow stuff remained stuck to the SP and lifted it off the screen.

Tried second time and this time it separated ok. Been 24hrs and so far so good - the SP has remained stuck down - around the edges too.#

Another minor negative, it has left a thin line between where part 1 and part 2 of the first stage removal items are joined....

Have uploaded a couple of pics..
[Nokia 8 Accessories] OEK011:
Same issue

Mine has also done that.

My biggest issue is with the viewing quality of the SP (grainy, coloured dots, and a major reduction in sharpness), the 4k screen looks worse than my 1080p 5 year old sony xperia z after applying the SP.

[Android Apps and Games] szymon247:
Hey guys. I made a very simple app allowing you to test the stereo channels of your phone's speakers (whether both are working correctly, if you have a stereo set-up on your Android device), or just check if you plugged in the headphones correctly without taking them off.

I made it strictly because of one silly thing that bothered me in all other such apps - they either had sounds transitions between left-right channels, or there was no way to toggle just a constant sound, so I could tinker with my faulty external speaker until I could hear the sound correctly. This app fixes both, and playing for instance the "left" channel sound will play sound ONLY 100% in the left channel, for as long as you want (if you toggle "repeat mode" 'on' you get a constant sound playing forever, until you stop it manually in the app).

Basically it's a perfect app for someone needing to tinker a bit with their stereo setup, and I added a Panda to release the tension of having a faulty sound set-up that needs tinkering with in the first place. The app is free, while I'd very much appreciate a rating on Google Play, it's ultimately up to your discretion as the app won't spam you with any sort of pop-ups.

Thanks guys!

[Tasker Tips & Tricks] emkorial:
So I am new to Tasker. I am using it to set the capacitive button backlights to stay on when the screen is on and turn off when the screen is off

So I set up 2 profiles, one for Display On, and another for Display off.

Display On has 2 tasks

1: su

2: echo 40 > /sys/class/leds/button-brightness/brightness

Display Off has 2 tasks

1: su

2: echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/button-brightness/brightness

When the phone is running, it works decently, I haven't done a bunch of tweaking but the concept seems to be working OK

However, upon first boot, it seems Tasker is not reading the very first Display On event, and the lights aren't turning on. Any ideas how to get that to work?

Thanks!

Tasker is probably not yet running at the time the screen on occurs.

If I need to use an app, can anyone recomend a good app.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Manumanu787:
No problem for me. Been connecting usb flash drives using the adapter without any problem.

Both the default file manager and solid explorer detected it correctly. Also able to stream music directly from my usb flash drive.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] willcor:
You should get a C type connector, adapter, with the phone (in the Note 8 box,) that you can use with a USB flash drive.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] SteelPicori:
OTG not required for type C USB drives

I have a USB flash drive with type C connector, i can attach it to the Note 8 directly no OTG cable or converter needed, though it gives a rather worrying notification that says that is is now charging the USB attached device (or something similar) but i guess that just means it's supplying power to the device
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] willcor:
if you tap on the USB notification,

in Notification it should open a pop-up message

asking if you want to transfer files, charge another device

etc. Select what you want to do.

Otherwise it will charge the other device.

Good luck

post note

Otherwise yiu can set your preference

in Developers Option /USB configuration

eg to charge, MTP (Media Transfer Protocol)

PTP, RNDIS, Audio source etc.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] SteelPicori:
I tried that and selecting transfer files but after a little bit of shuffling the charging USB device notification comes back, i am guessing it is required to supply power to the device (no idea just guessing)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] willcor:
see my post note above.

Look in Developers Option,/USB configuration

for that same options.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] SteelPicori:
i have already set the developer option to default to MTP (i hate having to do that each time i attach it to a pc), still same behavior, im pretty sure that it just means it's supplying juice to the flash drive, seeing as the flash drive has no way of powering itself

edit: Just to clarify, there are two USB notifications, one for "USB file transfer" and one stating that it is charging the attached USB device (not the standard "cable charging" notification you get when attaching a USB cable)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] ParrSt:
Okay, I tried that with two different drives. Someone else mentions some USB setting in Developer settings. I will look into those.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] ParrSt:
Okay, I forgot about the adapter that came with the phone. I tried that but the phone doesn't recognize most of my thumb drives. I have one that was formatted fat that worked. Others ONLY seem to work if I format with the phone first. That's crazy and severely limits what I can do with OTG. Am I missing something or is this right. I would love to be able to use ntfs or ext2/3 formatted drives.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] SteelPicori:
My USB is formatted as exFAT, note 8 recognizes and allows read and write to it.

For the note 5 I used the "total commander" app with the NTFS plugin enabled - perhaps useful for your use case.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] dennistaylor:
If anyone is having issues with not being able to change the USB option or not having their phone recognize a card reader, someone else had posted something about this for their Note 5: in MyFiles->settings->File Management make sure Manage files over Wi-Fi only is off and you may wish to also show hidden files

I was having fits with intermittent card reader functionality because of these settings. It still shows as charging the USB device, but it now shows the USB memory card in the list of file locations.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] KruseLudsMobile:
My Verizon Note 8 has a 256GB Samsung MicroSD card installed. Not sure if that makes any difference, however using the default file manager it does not show anything changing when I insert any USB OTG. However, I installed ES File Explorer - and it does find the storage but does not actually mount it, although it is readable. I prefer this type of access to the storage, since there is nothing to unmount. Removing storage that has been mounted causes that storage to become corrupted and useless if it is removed without unmounting. I did not know this type of storage connection was possible - I thought everything had to be mounted... Note the circled item in the screen shot - so this is what I have been using...

I can add that I bought a USB C to USB 2.0 type A OTG adapter and it did not work with anything, and sometimes would say that moisture had been detected whenever I plugged it in.

So... I bought a different adapter that is USB C to 3.1 type A and this one works fine with everything I've tested (usb flash drives both 2.0 and 3.x, usb mouse, usb ethernet adapter).
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] electro123:
I'll pick up the pendrive and plug it into the usb c adapter on the phone and nothing happens.

The phone does not do anything to plug in.

It does not say anything, does not write anything on the display.

It's silent.

It's like my usb c adapter is not good either.

In the developer settings, I looked at what the usb was about.

Someone's got any ideas.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] YumiStar:
Hey guys. I recently bought a note 8 and fsctory reset it. I decided to test out the otg adatpor thay came with it as with my previous galaxy note edge. I was able to tranfer photos etc to and from my phone with a usb adaptor with pen drive nps.

Problem here is that how many times i connect the otg adaptor to my note 8 and try different memory card readers or flash drives. It does not detect anything at all.. even reset my phone with the adaptor still in and still nothing.. my phones charges fine with its cable and connects and reads fine on my laptop.

Heres the strange part. I try connect my portable dvd writer drive and it powers up with the otg adaptor. I then unplug the dvd writer and plug in my flash drives and memory card readers and everything works fine. But when i take out the otg adaptor and plug it back in again. It dosnt get detected again.. not unless i plug in the dvd writer.. its so weird its doing my head in. Is it my phone or what? I even bought another otg adaptor hoping maybe i just had a dogey adaptor, but no i have the same problem eith the new 1.

I want to be able to be on the go and be able to maybe use the benefits of charging another friends phone with mine or perhaps just transfer stuff. I dont want to carry this dvd drive with me lol.

I'm tempted to try another factory reset again but i have so much stuff on my phone i wanna leave this to last resort.

If anyone could shed some light on my situation i'd be well happy.

Yumi.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Shadow Assassin:
It does support it natively but the otg adapter that comes with it is finicky unless using samsung smart switch. Get a small little otg adapter like from anker. I use an anker one for my 2tb hdd. Now, some devices may say they are ntfs, but you may still have to format them using your android phone so that the file system is fully compatible.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] YumiStar:
Yeah i do know note 8 is native but but i dont own any type c devices to try it. i would assume the dongle out of the box would work with no problems.. Tbh at the time of buying another otg adaptor, i was actually tempted to buy another brand. I was in conflict of which to buy but i ended up buying the official samsung one. Now i wished i bought the other brand. Then again who knows if it would have worked or not anyway.

I did now upgrade smart switch because maybe it might have helped but sadly no. Even smart switch dosnt detect anything unless i pug in the dvd writer, then it will start showing any connected deviced..

Does no one have any tips if this is hardware or software problem?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] okhan01:
Similar problem

Hi,

I also have a very similar problem. I used to connect my note 8 to the computer and otg adapter with usb stick and could transfer files without any issue, but suddenly I can't transfer files...only charge.

I tried a different cable, different adaptor (all original), usb debugging on, MTP selected.... and I even tried factory reset.

Could it be that my usb type c port is damaged?

Please advise.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] YumiStar:
I finally got it working now. I factory restored my phone but it didn't help with anything so i felt i wasted my time as now i have to restore everything back onto my note 8.

But anyway how i got my note 8 to get otg working continuously even if i unplugged the otg adaptor unlike before it would stop working then i woupd have to plug in my portable dvd drive to keep waking the phone to work wben the otg adaptor was connected.

I basically activated the otg via the dvd drive then plugged in a sd card reader then restarted the phone while still attached. It still worked even if i took out the otg adaptor and plugged it back in.

I did 2 tests after this.

Reset phone with no otg adaptor connected. (WORKED)

powered off phone and back on no otg connected. (WORKED)

Honestly have no idea what was wrong with the phone and why the otg only ever activated when i plugged in my portable dvd drive and not my flash drives or connect to another phone to charge, but what i did seemed like it helped to reactivate the otg and get it working properly again.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] YumiStar:
Ok never mind. Its bsck to acting weird again. This time my dvd drive cant even wake up the otg.. it brings up the notification a device is connected but then says disconnected and keeps popping up this notification loop even when i unplug the otg adaptor. i give up.

Honestly dont know if its hardware or software.

Owell.. not the end of the world i guess.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] berkut_g:
There is a problem with note 9 and OTG support.

If you have a micro-sd card inserted into the phone then OTG does not work.

Take out the micro-sd and OTG miraculously shows up in My files/ ES file explorer etc.

Although ES file explorer is able to detec both the micro sd and the OTG it will give out an error when trying to access the OTG.

This is clearly a software issue that Samsung should address.

Hi,

I'm surprised to read this because my note 8 SM N950FD supports both otg and reading from large drives. The apps I use are ES File Explorer, Xplore File Manager, Solid Explorer, and have used Mixed File Manager, Root Explorer and total commander too for this. Sometimes it will show incompatible file system for that plug the drive into a pc or laptop and repair the drive and after finihing use it on the phone I'm sure it will work.

Hop this helps. Ciao.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Outofdepth:
A 1 cent OTG fix!!!!

I know this thread is old but I've been dealing with this issue as well. Everything else works (charging, PC file transfer) except OTG. Tried everything listed in this thread and others (developer options, etc etc). I finally gave in and brought it to a repair center and the guy said he thought it might be debris packed into my USB port.

It's not that the pins were dirty (I've cleaned it with alcohol) but a little crud was actually deep inside the port, packed in every time I plug something in. He says he couldn't clean it himself because he risked damaging the pins but said I was free to try before paying 150 for replacement port.

Long story short, I just used a twisted paper clip and went HAM on that damn port (taking care not to touch the middle board where the thing is) but dragging the metal against the back of the "donut" area

Honestly there wasn't much in there but guess what. It worked. I'm guessing Samsung OTG is super sensitive to how deep the plug is depressed into the port (even if the pins otherwise connect)

So after hours of trying software stuff and almost paying $150 I fixed OTG with just 5 minutes and a paper clip.

Hope this helps anyone having similar issues!!!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Ptolamy:
Hey all,

Was there ever a resolution to this problem other than the cleaning tip above?

I have a Note 8 (N950F) on which the USB functionality is fine in every way but for OTG USB connections.

I have 2 OTG USB adapters (one of which is the original boxed one) ...that used to work just fine but now do not. They do work on other phones however.

I'm trying to connect Gear VR, Nikon camera, logitech mouse and none give any functionality or notifications on the phone.

I'm rooted through magisk, if this has any bearing?

OTG USB connections ae completely ignored by teh phone.

Any help?

Cheers

Don't think anyone is working on it. They are still trying to fix 7.0. There has been a test firmware released for the international variants, so they are busy making ROMs based on that in hopes that a final release comes out. Doesn't work for our phone though.
