I ordered this and it arrived in Norway within one week. It was sent from Malaysia.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] NIKKOTUASON:
So I noticed my Whitestone Dome Glass has a very very unnoticeable hairline crack.

I've got a ton of other tempered glass that have the adhesive only on the edges. I have a spare adhesive vile from Whitestone and was wondering if anyone has tried to install the tempered glass with edge adhesive but added the Whitestone adhesive to make it full adhesive? I know this sounds crazy.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] akslow:
I thought about it and read somewhere that its possible to mix both. Just try you have nothing to lose expect glue and glass ;)

I was thinking about using baseus note 8 glass cause its full cover but I need to buy it again. I like full glue glass cause screen is black as is should but most of them are case friendly and sensivity is not so good. Edge adhesive suck too. Perfect would be to mix both.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Anonymously_Unknown:
After you purchased it the second time, you must have been compensated by Whitestone to keep going.

I'd like to see an official response from Whitestone in regards to the testing methods used for the adhesive itself.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] babak:
GRAZIE, BUT I DRESS IN ITALY and that site for me indicates 60 days.

however whitstone is not worth anything, I discovered that after the last fall (from 50 cm in height), not only the whitstone glass was broken but also the glass of the phone has a crack.

Now I'm waiting for notes 9.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] helasm:
It was also 60 days for me on the website but I already have whitestone on my phone and ordered it for backup.

Surprised that it arrived so fast.

Good luck with note 9 :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] babak:
the point is that whitestone does not rotate at all from falls even 50cm in height, is useful only against scratches, is it worth?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] sefrcoko:
Hmm I'm not fully understanding you here...what do you mean "does not rotate at all from falls"? It's obviously not supposed to rotate, so you must mean something else instead?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] babak:
sorry, I meant not protecting from falls, even from 50 cm in height, I had a whiteston glass and after a small fall now I have glass whitestone and broken glass of the phone.

And I do not think the whitestone house repay me the damage done on the phone, be careful.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] sefrcoko:
Ah I see. Sorry to hear that. Did you have a case on it too when it fell, or just the whitestone?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] babak:
Yes, i have a pitaka case but it's not important, because with or without a case, if the phone falls, the glass does not absolutely protect the display.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] sefrcoko:
I've already dropped mine a few times and thankfully everything is still intact, but tempered glass is not unbreakable of course. At some point impact is impact, but it can still help protect against scratches and light bumps.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Nastrahl:
I installed my first dome glass 20 days ago and the only issue I got so far is that the glue went outside the phone from the bottom and also glued the plastic mould so it was a pain to remove the phone without breaking the glass.

So far no other issue, but it's not edge to edge. It actually covers the same size area as my old Force Glass which was quite a disappointment.

The only things that change is that it doesn't got black adhesive borders and no matrix either.

I don't know if it really worth the pain actually.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] magichoward:
Just to update you all I'm still using the gorilla glass uv method as mentioned. It's holding up very well. No scratches and perfect feedback. I think it may be a tad more reflective than the original glass underneath and there is some dust hardly noticeable in the edges.

I didn't upgrade to Note 9 because I really hate these curved glass edges.. And the limitations of the screen protectors.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Limeybastard:
Apparently the n9 edges are not as curved as the n8. Mines due today, so we'll see.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] klisza1993:
Im using this glass and i have no problems. Why ? Cuz i wasnt applied oryginal glue. Its too weak. I applied stronger and now passes over half a year with no such problems like you have. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] babak:
Boys the real problem is another, I talk about falls even 50cm, in these cases if the film hits something breaks and directly transmits the strength to the display, breaking the display, you have to pray and have a cover with very high edges so that glass does not ignore anything, otherwise it is 260 €.

whitstone is only valid for scratches and that's it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] sefrcoko:
That's true of every glass protector. My Whitestone has absorbed damage from a few falls and has a small crack but the glass underneath is safe. It's already paid for itself.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] shadow_hunter104:
I recently got a cheap tempered glass I ordered from AliExpress. Best $2 I've spent on screen protectors. It's actually better than $20 screen protectors I got previously.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] greeky510:
My first Whitestone was also lifting up of the corners. I used a dremel (or a blade) and trimmed the case edges a bit. No more lifting.

The first one lasted 6 months. I had to replace because it broke when a toll fell on the phone.

The second one has been installed for a couple of weeks now and it's also perfect
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] bober10113:
maybe not cured long enough? i cure it like 10x longer than what they suggest
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] eoniverse:
Been going over tons of reviews looking for a quality protector for my note 8. Almost settled on the Whitestone until I read this thread. It's disappointing cause I think the solution for an almost perfect screen protector on curved screens can be made (but hasn't).

Unless technically un-achievable why hasn't anyone combined both glass and 'plastic'? Using glass on the flat surface and tapered 'plastic' for the edges. All wet of course and seamlessly molded so it's a single product. That would solve the sides from lifting. Maybe one day. Perhaps by the Note 11.

Going to pass on the Whitestone at this price. Agree that a 40.00 - 50.00 protector should never need a cover.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Nastrahl:
I got no issue whatsoever of it can reassure you a bit.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] distantneighbor:
Could you please tell us what case you use with this Whitestone Dome? Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] thewayofwright:
I use an OtterBox Defender with the Whitestone glass screen protector. The upper portion of the OtterBox shell that protects around the screen is so tight against the glass protector that it will lift. What I've done was to dremel and file down the edges of the OtterBox so that it fits flush with the glass. Now that there is a plastic ledge (the OtterBox) around the paremeter of the glass protector that sits at the same height as the glass, there is no way for any small repetitive trauma to reach down deep where at the bottom edge of of the glass protector meets the screen. And therein lies your issue: repeative and cumulative tiny little bits of force/trauma at the bottom edge off the glass protector meets the screen causes lifting. You need something to fill the space. And being a fan boy of OtterBox, the Defender series worked out for me (albeit w/ a small bit of filling down the inner edges of case)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] badtz82:
Im aleady naked using my note since i spend equal 50usd for those..i use note because function so if still use it (note function) i buy note if not i buy phone can use with protection more because we buy this gatget using money not grass. I hope samsung reed this in hard word i rather chose iphone than samsung if i do not think note function.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] winol:
I See lots of mixed comments about this expensive whitestone dome cristal, so, I bought a curved full adhesive surface cristal, MOSS brand, 8 dlls a piece, works real fine, with a variety of cases and without, as for shatter resistance, many think that after a fall, the glass should not break, but in fact, if the glass breaks, that is exactly how it absorbs the impact to save the screen from cracking, dependindg always on the circumstances of the fall
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] babak:
In fact, on the 8th note the second fall broke whitstone and also display below, in practice there is nothing against falls, only luck.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] winol:
Yes, as I said, it all depends ultimately on the circumstances of the fall, I have seen people droping their phones while running, and barely catching some scratches, and others droping from barely 30 cm and the whole screen shattered beyond belief...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Nastrahl:
Strangely I can't find the official website. Can you tell me?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] winol:
I bought these tempered glass protectors from a vendor in a sales site called MERCADO LIBRE MEXICO
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Batas:
6 weeks later, and I have the exact same problem as OP.

Did anyone tried the wet aplication ones, like phantomskinz?

Do they start to peel at the curved screen edges?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] hallo dare:
Same issue as the OP has brought me here. I installed this on my Oneplus 7 pro in early July. Today, almost an exact month later, the left side has started lifting.

To me it was a perfect install. I done exactly as mentioned in the installation demo, etc. But now find myself having to contact White Stone. Sickened.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] bober10113:
mabe it needed additional curing time? i always cure it more than specified.

so if you have reoccurring issues and the application was done correctly and it still lifts. i think more cure time on initial install would help.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] hallo dare:
Maybe. I was weary of this when installing and gave double the curing time for all stages. I might have to double these times yet again if the manufacturer sends a replacement
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] bober10113:
BUT!

if as you stated above and have always doubled the curing times then maybe you need to tone it down to regular indication. if something is constantly reoccuring then it means its something in the method.

hope you get it sorted out. also do you have a case that might be slightly pushing against it?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] hallo dare:
Will see when i hear back from vendor.

Yes i have a case on it, but it's nice and loose at this particular area, so no pressure being applied to force the glass off the screen.

Seems to be a common issue with this tempered glass from Whitestone going by Google results.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] bober10113:
ive had them on my note 8 and note 9. the only time i had an issue was on the note 8 when i had a case that was just barely touching it.. and i kind of knew when I put the case on it the first time. i bought another case with more room and the 2nd application went ok.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] StevePritchard:
I've seen this on a few occasions. There doesn't seem to be a predictable cause in my case - I've had it occur on both sides of the phone. I suspect it could be to do with how much work I had to do to squeeze out small bubbles that often form in the areas affected (lower third on both edges).

Another theory of mine is that it's to do with minor imperfections in the glass itself. The last time it occurred for me, I could notice deformations in the reflections on the glass in the general vicinity of the lifting.

I've also seen the lifting using alternative LOCA glue too. I've started using glue from China which cures to a harder plastic, rather than the rubbery compound of the original Whitestone glue. This has the benefit of not picking up fluff around the edges in the same way. The new glue doesn't actually stick as well as the original glue, so I expect that I'll encounter the lifting more frequently, but since the glue can peel off in a single sheet, it's much easier to re-apply the protector than it is with the Whitestone LOCA which is tricker to remove, and often causes small scratches to the back-side of the glass.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] bober10113:
i think the new question is: even with all those lets downs, what keeps you from coming back to the glass +loca formula?

to me regular glass with either 2 black bands of adhesives or full adhesive are jut the worst: rainbow effect,dotmatrix, poor touch sensitivity, after a while humidity gets under and then dust.

id take a few imperfections on the sides or small bubbles over the above. i wasted too much money on tpu film and regular tempered glass to go back.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] StevePritchard:
Not sure if that was intended for somebody else, but I'm most definitely a "glass + loca" chap. For me, the Whitestone appears to be the best glass (although, I've only tried a couple of others to be fair). As it stands, I'm preferring the use of the Whitestone glass with the chinese sourced LOCA glue - it gives the slick glass surface with decent oleophobic coating along with fluff-free edges.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] bober10113:
I was generally putting this out there.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] iceepyon:
Could be that the case which you are using on your device is not compatible with the screen protector...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] StevePritchard:
FWIW I think I've tracked down the cause of some of my edge lifting issues.

I've stopped using the Whitestone loca, and am using some Chinese sourced glue. This new glue sets to a hard plastic, rather than a gum, and this gives cleaner dust free edges and is easier to remove from the glass for re-application, as it peels off in a single sheet.

I've had a couple of instances where the edge has lifted, not dissimilar to the original post with both types of glue, and the most recent occurrence was just after using my phone in my wife's car cradle. This cradle uses a spring loaded mechanism to grip the sides of the phone, whereas mine just uses a gravity mechanism to hold it. I found that applying pressure to the side of the phone (not the protector) could cause the glue to come unstuck. The pressure didn't have to be that great, and it's obviously causing a little bit of flex in the frame and screen which, over time, the glue isn't strong enough to hold onto (it probably doesn't help that the oleophobic coating of the screen makes it very slick, and so the glue doesn't grip very well, although this does make it easy to remove).

My suspicion is that over time the constant flexing, even if it's not very much, causes the grip of the glue on the screen to start to fail, and that's what causes these lifts. Presumably any pressure on the sides of the phone, not necessarily those from a case or a cradle, could flex the phone enough. So gripping it tightly, or having it in a pocket could presumably contribute to the effect.

Cheers,

Steve.

[Magisk] Medeon:
Lately I installed Magisk v15 on my Sony Xperia M5 device after flashing a DRM fix kernel made by mbc07. It contains a DRM Fix library that was made by tobias.waldvogel, the developer of Root Kernel.

It came to pass when discussing with another Xperia m5 user that was trying to get root access by this method that the DRM fix library didn't get loaded at all. Thus when doing the security test in the service menu dialer (*#*#7378434#*#*) we got a Generic error on Blobs and HUK. Adressing this issue to mbc07 he:

So I decided to uninstall Magisk v15 and flash Magisk v14 instead. And indeed no Generic errors this time. Bottomline Magisk v15 is not compatible with Sony Xperia devices, sadly. :/ Hope that these issues in future versions of Magisk will be fixed, because I really like the features that accompanies Magisk like: SafetyNET pass, Magisk Hide and systemless modules.

Hello! I have installed Resurrection Remix 5.2.5 on my C5303. I thought that it will be faster and more stable. I was mistaken. Every rom i found was laggy. Cyanogenmod 11, 12; stock 4.1, 4.3; RR. I have a lot of space on my phone, i'm using FB and Messenger Lite. Even I give up using Snapchat, because of those lags. I think that Google services are taking big part of my ram. Is there any way to speed up this phone? Swap or some kind of overclock?

Warning: This guide is a WiP and is NOT complete. DO NOT FOLLOW THIS GUIDE UNTIL THIS MESSAGE IS REMOVED.

You will require ADB and Fastboot installed on your computer.

First you will need to send a private message to the_lazer with your IMEI and Serial Number and they will give you a key to unlock the bootloader.

Wherever you see KEY in this guide replace that with the key you got given.

Second you will need to download Magisk from here, rename that file to

magisk.zip

Then download the TWRP.img from here.

If the touch screen doesn't work on TWRP then press the power button so the screen sleeps and then press it again so it wakes up and it should work.

Make sure your device has "Enable OEM Bootloader Unlocking" enabled in settings.

Plug your device into your computer and turn the device off.

Hold the power and volume up buttons, if it has a menu where reboot to bootloader or fastboot is a option then do that.

Once in fastboot mode on your computer run:

fastboot oem key KEY
fastboot oem unlock

Press the volume up button on the phone and it should unlock successfuly.

Once that is done you will need to run:

fastboot boot TWRP.img

Note that you should NOT flash twrp yet as it will give "red state" error and prevent your device from booting.

Then once in TWRP if it asks for a password then click cancel. If that doesn't work then press the power button and then press it again so the screen sleeps and wakes up then swipe to unlock and click cancel again.

Swipe to allow modifications then click Advanced and then ADB Sideload and swipe.

Next run

adb sideload magisk.zip

and it will flash magisk.

Magisk will provide root and patch the bootloader so it will still boot past the "orange state" screen.

Next go back twice and click Reboot and then Bootloader.

Then on your computer run

fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img

That will now flash TWRP.

The reason you need to flash TWRP after you have flashed magisk is because magisk is required to patch the bootloader so that it will actualy boot.

Then run

fastboot reboot

and you should eventualy reboot to android, give it about 30mins to boot just to be safe.

Then install Magisk Manager from

https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445

.

You should now have a working rooted Nokia 3 which uses Magisk.

Don't worry, then next time someone asks about rooting their Nokia 3 I will be sure to point them to this thread, and I like how you described the process. It's very easy to understand. I already have my phone rooted and i'm sticking with my stock recovery because of updates
[Nokia 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] JakesDen:
Thanks :3
[Nokia 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] SkaboXD:
nice guide, did you encounter any crashes like SuperSU or it runs normal without errors?
[Nokia 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] JakesDen:
Runs flawlessly and doesn't crash or bootloop.

However if you enable a magisk module which causes a bootloop then you would have to factory reset the device unless /data is decrypted in which case you can just delete the folder the magisk module is located in. I will add to the guide instructions on how to have a decrypted /data partitionlater.

[Nokia 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] SkaboXD:
if flashing doesn't work, use this command: fastboot boot recovery.img

You will boot to twrp successfully but you need to do this every time when you want twrp.

I followed your guide step by step but when rebooting after TWRP flash, the phone does not boot into system.

Any help would be appreciated :D
[Nokia 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] redweaver:
I will try this method the next time I get an ota update. Wasn't sure if it was the superSU or the xposed that was causing the errors. After this update i've confirmed it's the SU.

I've never used magisk before. Hope it won't conflict with xposed
[Nokia 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] JakesDen:
I recommend not using SuperSu.

You can however install magisk and then use magisk manager to install a systemless xposed.

Just don't use the official regular xposed or your device won't boot.
