[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] jonatanLoya:
I droped the phone over the carpet, and s pen popped out too, using ruged spigen case. think rubber acts like an spring.

.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] slyphnier:
well if we look at the slot, there no real "lock" in the mechanism/design itself

when we pop the s-pen its actually not the s-pen poping but rather the "spring-top-parts" that poping out so we can pull the pen

when u pull the pen there just little resistant to it

afaik the s-pen is holded by small bump in the slot

thus dropping note8 can cause s-pen to pop itself, maybe yours have slot that more loose that causing easier to pop

but other than that i think normal

Its a phone, people not an infant, and life doesnt end when you drop a cell phone..:crying:

and yes, OP, my spen pops out the couple of times I have dropped my phone..no big deal
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] neograndizer:
WHAAA??!! My brain is in there! Or I thought it was...

All kidding aside, it's an expensive investment for some. Dropping it on a continual basis means you risk eventually breaking it and if no insurance is in place, a very costly lesson in life. And the S Pen would be the least of my worries if I ever dropped it. I'd be more concerned that nothing inside got jarred or glass crack. Or worse, the pen snaps inside the Note itself. I want this thing to last at least 4 years minimum before I consider replacing it. That is my ROI expectations on the device after paying so much into it. Which also means making sure I keep it in good shape and not abuse it like a mad man. LOL

Unfortunately, in this day and age, people have become more 'wired'. I mean what's so important on the phone you still have to use it while doing your business in the john?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] wase4711:
yes, its a major investment, and, I doubt it will last you 4 years..

that being said, considering what a major investment it is, why do people who have no idea what they are doing with it, want to root it, mod it, flash all sorts of stuff to it without knowing for certain how to fix it if they brick it?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] neograndizer:
OT: my Note 2 lasted me 4.5 years when I finally decided to upgrade to the Note 8... So yeah... I expect it to last me 4 years! Well at least I hope so! LOL
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] emwgee:
LOL, may be it is better to have the screen pops out instead of S-Pen when the phone is dropped. :-o
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] shouren04:
Yeah, it'll just make you usually sit on the john longer than you need to. Then you get ring around the ass. Then there's the risk of dropping your phone in the john! ;)

With that said, I do it too. It's multitasking! If you do it right you're saving time. Getting shi* done while taking care of your shi*. :laugh:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] koppee1:
the one time i dropped my phone...the spen popped out as well...i don't think it's anything to worry about.. :p
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] :
I mean, to be fair, it is a rather large investment for many users. It's not "just" a phone when taking everything into consideration. Dropping a device like this does cause a fair amount of stress for many depending on the result of that drop. It would be cool to be able to experience these drops without any stress but that's not the case for most of us. Sometimes a damaged phone (especially one as expensive as this one) can cause some real headaches, regardless of how careful we may be.

I do remember @OP, my Note 5 slipping out of my jacket pocket as I was getting out of my car at Best Buy once. S-Pen had popped out but I didn't notice it was gone until I had gotten home. I remember thinking that it may have landed under my car so I decided to go back to the parking space in the hopes that it may still be there. There was another car parked in the same spot so I looked under and sure enough the bastard was right there. It was a bit mauled up, though. Probably by other cars entering and leaving the parking spot. It wouldn't fit back into my Note 5 properly but it still worked on my display just fine.

I ended up ordering another S-Pen directly from Samsung because I couldn't trust the ones I saw on Amazon from third party sellers. Funny enough, I ended up getting the replacement S-Pen for free due to some shipping errors on Samsung's part. So this missing S-Pen had a happy ending after all. Anyway, hope you don't lose yours the next time you drop your phone.

Without knowing the user in question personally I'd suggest it's difficult to cast any doubt. I still run into folks with 3-5 year old phones that are in perfect working order. I can see how that can be more common across the user space just as easily as seeing enough who can't keep units in working conditions longer than a year.

Hi Guys,

Wanted to ask a [probably nub] question:

I have seen the great skins on the various smart watch and wondered if there is any known application that can make my phone act as a watch,

meaning show the time on the lock screen with the ability to mimic an analog watch and to be able to switch between different skins.

I'm a bit afraid to admit that i have searched and could'nt find anything that can do this [and show the actual time]

This is the main reason i was thinking of buying a new smart watch [just because i love the option of switching the way they look]

Please help :-/

p.s. i tried google "find my device", but i could only set another password that isnt the main password... any ideas?

It suddenly appeared that Amazon fire TVbox didn't work. You could switch it on and then you see the Amazon logo but nothing else would work. - no signal!

We changed the hdmi cable, tried different TVs and different access points. Furthermore we tried to reset the fire box by using the recover menue and the picture was distorted. So the reset did not work.

We connected the firebox with a usb cable (adb works) and a screenshot looked normal.

I usually run Dirty U and I have no problems flashing that and not getting the password or encryption issue.

The key is finding the correct misc file to zero out. From a terminal with root access, or the TWRP terminal:

# cd /dev/block/platform/soc

# find . -name misc

./7824900.sdhci/by-name/misc

# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/soc/7824900.sdhci/by-name/misc

Further reboots should no longer go to TWRP. Enjoy!

Perfect Solution

NO use of pc!

open twrp recovery.

mount system, leave the rest as it is.

Go to advanced, terminal

type dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/soc/7824900.sdhci/by-name/misc

run it.

done problem solved.

The 7824900 or the path to misc can be different for different devices(other than moto g5 plus) but you can navigate that through file manager inside twrp.

Issue Resolved; Little Tweak needed.

Thanks for the posts. I was able to resolve the issue.

However if the "dd" line doesn't work then try the following steps which resolved my reboot issue!

# cd /dev/block/platform/soc

# find -name misc

you will get the below result!

./7824900.sdhci/by-name/misc

if you are successful until this step then we just need cut short the "dd" code because we are already in the right directory!

just use the following command,

# dd if=/dev/zero of=/7824900.sdhci/by-name/misc

That's it!! you shouldn't be seeing the TWRP boot loop again!

Recovery bootloop

Hi all together,

it may be waste to post such an old thread, but anyway.

I had the same problem and I could fix it by zeroing the misc partition.

The last thing I'm interesting in is: What is the misc partition good for ?

After successful boot to lineage -The custom rom I installed- I checked with

adb shell mount

but I could not found the misc partition. Is it used temporary during boot or is there no fs installed to use it as a "raw" partition ?

Any hints welcome

Any new ROMs that could play Pokemon Go on maguro?

Last year I tried CM-13.0-2016* and it was laggy. I just re-flashed with latest LineageOS-13.0 and LineageOS-14.1 and I cannot get past "Please enter your birthday screen". The phone doesn't respond to touch at all in current version of Pokemon Go.

Hello everybody,

Yesterday I went to local phone reseller and bought used SM-G930FD for a good price. It's condition is flawless, came with tempered glass aplied also stickers on camera and heart monitor. Tested before purchasing and everything was working. When I came home only then I noticed that it had SuperSU installed and at that moment ran android 6.0 with 2016 security patch. After some reading I loaded the firmware from 2nd post via odin selecting three options :https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s7/how-to/official-stock-firmware-update-odin-t3369431

1)Auto reboot

2)Re-partition

3)F-reset time

Note that the phone had no "secure startup" option so I didn't need to set pin. After it booted up the phone no longer detected my sim, which prior worked with android 6.0 also download mode says it's SM-G930F, but software reports it being SM-G930FD and I have option to select 2 sims in menu?

Also yes, the knox is tripped, which I didn't notice before purchase, I have few options in mind, which one would you do if you were in my case?

1) Return the phone with reason that there's no signal and choose another SM-G930F which 95 percent will have knox tripped aswell, as they're all used.

2) Solve the no signal issue myself and continue using the phone with knox tripped as the condition of phone is 10/10 (Is my phone more prone to viruses and malware without knox? I came from iphone, but prior used android and take good care of my phone)

3) Ask for refund

Note 2: The seller also gave me a 6 month warranty which might work/might not depends if the seller knows about knox?

Thank you.
