It's just right in my opinion. Film use to suck worse that's for sure. Temper glass is better at fingerprint smudges and scratches. The film is better at smoothness/sleek look and drop resistance. My gf would put her keys with phone a lot of the time. Of course that caused scratches. But that was to screen protector only. Reason I know is because she got it wet and had to take screen protector off. No scratching to screen.

The film does have scratch resistance as well. If you do decide to get film I'd suggest only this brand because they actually back it's protection claims. This Note 8 is made out of all glass so drops are definitely more serious to worry about.

Lady putting on screen film watch few times. It's of s8 but same concept. Some can't fellow directions so screwed up film. Like I said watch few times and you will be fine.

I have both the Tech21 Evo Tactical and the UAG Plasma. I am not using a screen protector or tempered glass. I like the Tech21 case, but it doesn't have the big front "lip" that the UAG case does. Does anyone have any experience with the Tech 21? Will it protect the screen when dropped?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Nick216ohio:
Look at my earlier posts. And you will see in youtube videos.

Just going to say I use a Tech21 Evo Check on my Pixel XL and Note 8 and I'm a big fan of them. I got mine on ebay for around $15ish.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Nick216ohio:
Have you dropped phone yet with case? Phone fared well? Mine and my girlfriend has with no cracks or anything. She dropped 6Xs and myself 3Xs.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] blaze0303:
I've dropped the Pixel once, never dropped the Note 8. Pixel suffered no damage at all.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] llaass:
Any links for the product(s) you are talking about from Amazon?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Nick216ohio:
Use ebay cheaper. You can get case $15-25 used-new.

Screen protector new $20. Just search tech21 impact shield screen protector. Tech21 evo case.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] llaass:
is the impact shield screen protector mandatory ? does tech21 case alone offer enough protection against glass shattering ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Nick216ohio:
The drop test videos earlier posts that I linked. The guy didn't have screen protector on it and screen was fine. But just to be safe I wouldn't risk it. $20 definitely worth protecting a thousand dollar phone. Just watch install video few times and you should be fine. Can barely tell it's on to be honest.

Towards the end with install video with lady she shows you what it looks like. You can barely tell it's on. Install in a clean environment! Use stickers for dust! Well lighting area. Install screen protector 1st.

Talking amongst ourselves, don't you think that video of the drop test could have been taken a few times ,. similar with other drop test videos. Example they use multiple devices in case one breaks on the first take ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Nick216ohio:
Like I said before myself 3Xs and GF 6Xs. We've droped a few more times ontop of it. You could be right at the same time. But I've seen other videos same case. I was thinking that but I experienced it myself. Plus any decent size youtuber normaly wouldn't do that. Because they would be called out on there BS and lose subscribers+ credibility.

I already ordered a Tech21 wallet case for the Note 8. Apparently it's same design as a Evo check but with a clickable cover.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Nick216ohio:
Good buy. I have that as well. Kinda of extra protection another plus.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] llaass:
Was the inistallation easy ? Its installation looks difficult in the video
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Nick216ohio:
Agreed and customer service sucks according to a lot of people. But my main concern is drop protection. I had no clue what I was doing kinda and came out perfect. Video made it easier. Even after you do it will there will be bubbles! They disappear 24-48 hours later promise. I use to love temper glass, not anymore. The feel of this film makes me love it. You will do perfect job and there will be 20% or so bubbles left. They will disappear!

After you get most out. Don't try to go overboard on difficult 1s and squash them out. You might mess up film up. Try after set period. Watch install video 2-3Xs!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] llaass:
Thanks for the tips.Well if it saves me from all the whitestone chaos and price then I may give it a try, but I feel it is way less protective than tempered glass particularly against drops.

Regarding the tech21 case side lips .. are they higher than the screen ? I already bought The Official Samsung rugged protective Case, but I am worried about the sides of the screen in this case.. it has front and back lips but screen is higher than the case on the sides. Does the tech 21 case have the same issue ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Limeybastard:
Just received my Tech21 evon wallet case. Wife took it for herself. LOL.

I believe this case is basically a evo check case minus the back pattern and with wallet enclosure. Edges don't seem raised much at all. But it don't matter since it's a wallet type case .

Ordered another one for myself.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Nick216ohio:
I am not going to feed you crap. Will be truthful so here we go. Research and you will see temper glass is best for scratches. Tech21 screen protector best for impacts. They infuse bullet proof material into it. I can't blame you for thinking that. Looks to thin to be good for impacts. But looks can be deceiving here.

Now onto the case. Well the top and bottom is above screen. The left and right screen slightly above case. I am guessing they did this because of curved screen and be able to access it. Most cases designed like this. This is why it's important to get screen protector. Incase you get a weird drop on its side like steps or something.

Lol they have pink 1s. You're correct on that.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] llaass:
[MENTION=6023066]Nick216ohio[/MENTION] I ended up buying samsung's rugged protective case with kickstand. It looks great and premium but I keep coming across people who claim they broke their phones after 1-3 ft drops with this case on. So I am looking again for another case, and I guess I settled on tech 21 . Serious question.. why did your drop your brand new phones 9x total in 1 week ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Nick216ohio:
Just to show people + Drunk weekend + few accidentally. I also have samsung care, so I can be careless. Get the tech21 case and screen protector. Go to your cell phone store, those people good at putting on screen protectors. Chances are 1 of them have tech21 ask them to drop there phone. It's 1 of there most expensive case/protector. They will just to show and try to sell to you.

I was just at cell phone store and worker drop test his iphone x with tech21 case infront of us. Phone was fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] llaass:
I already have installed Whitestone so I wont get their screen protector. I hope a combination of Whitestone+tech 21 tactical case provide enough protection
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Nick216ohio:
Whitestone good kinda? Just hear a lot of bout peeling with them idk. In regards to case. First few times you will cringe from drops. But after that you won't give a ****.

[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] andrewbaker1:
As the title suggests since rolling back to the stock rom from Oreo on my OP5T. I'm seeing issues in the OOBE with WiFi. The connection state goes

Connecting --> Saved --> Connecting --> Disabled

I have used the rollback build to no success, and I have reflashed the phone multiple times, clearing the cache each time.

When I enable verbose WiFi mode, I see network_seclection_disabled_association_rejection before it changes to Network_Selection_Temporary_Disabled.

The WiFi network I'm connecting to is working, with the same password that works on another device. The only reason I'm posting here is we also have a open AP which the phone also can't connect to as it gets a authentication failure.

Is this something that has been seen before or am I the first to have this issue?

[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] techlogik:
I did a complete wipe, cache, dalvik, system, data and format data. Then rebooted to recovery. Copied the Beta over and did a complete fresh install, and my WiFi worked again.

I tried everything else almost recommended. My 4.7.6 restore wouldn't connect WiFi after a failed Beta dirty flash originally. Then a fresh wipe and 4.7.6 OTA didn't work either. Only a fresh install of the Beta and my WiFi started working again.

Try a few other suggestions on the thread if you want. But that is what worked for me...hassle.

I have to say, their WiFi is buggy in general. I still get WiFi Saved message, and I have to manually connect to my saved AP.

Also, when connecting to a WPA2 Enterprise system, I have to manually select the option for the MSV2Chap protocol, it won't autodetect the method of security which until Oreo, it never did this. 802.1x requires a Windows domain/user/pass to connect to the AP using WPA2/MSCHAPv2...but Oreo can't figure it out without me manually putting that in there, plus, telling it to Not verify the Security Certificate. Which on an Apple device, or other Android phone, it autodetects and at most, prompts to accept the security certificate.
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] mikymikemike:
Thanks man! Didn't thought the only way to get WiFi working again is to flash the beta. 18h of wildly flashing roms and recoveries are over! You saved my day! :good: :)
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] techlogik:
No problem. Learned the hard way. Somehow the radio/firmware is getting hosed. In the HTC world, never an issue, you can flash a separate firmware/radio file that has nothing really to do with the ROM, about anyone will work.

But this is out of our control on the 5T. Glad that worked. After spending hours going in circles like you, I finally wiped it all, flashed the beta fresh and wallah during the setup...wifi connected and worked.

This is different. I've restored handfuls of backups, stock kernel, custom kernels, dirty flashed 4.7.6 zip many times, cleaned flashed many times as well, restored EFS in fastboot....wifi simply doesn't work/connect.

[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] Dazed No More:
Problem solved... Here's a quick run down of what I did to finally get it working after countless attempts over the last few days. There are different ways to accomplish the end goal, some in less steps but this is what worked for me.

1. Format data and wipe everything in TWRP

2. Reboot to recovery

3. Flash 4.7.2 full zip

4. Reboot to bootloader

5. Boot twrp from fastboot

fastboot boot twrp.img

6. Flash 4.7.6 full zip

Cliffs: Format Data>Wipe Everything>Reboot to Recovery>Flash 4.7.2 Full Zip>Flash 4.7.6 Full Zip>Profit

Hi

I know it's not the problem of Oneplus team, but just Google Phone issue with

not wake up the screen on incoming calls with bluetooth headset connected.

Sow ... if you are on latest Google Phone app version 15.0.179075669 and you use bluetooth headset connected to the phone,

when receive a call and the phone is in sleep mode, screen won't wake'up and you don't see who's calling.

Guide how to resolve (partialy):

- download from www.apkmirror.com Google Phone version: 14.0.17616531 (nodpi, arm64) and replace'it under /system/priv-app/GoogleDialer/

- chmod to rw-r-r

- reboot to recovery and clear cache and dalvik-cache

- stop in google play to auto-update apps until Google resolve this problem

-done

For all of you who were searching for a decent VoIP Softphone that supports multiple SIP accounts, is not in beta since 2 years ago. doesn't bring your PPC down to a crawl or is nearly unusable, search no longer: We have released our AGEphone Mobile 2 just today and it blows away every competitor from Xlite over SJphone to Skype. Big words? You bet! But why don't you just test it yourself? Just point your browser to http://www.ageet.com/files/AGEphoneMobile2.CAB OR point your cellphone at http://mobileage.notlong.com and install the softphone on your Windows Mobile 5 or 6 device. You can try it as long as you want without any limits but a duration of one minute for each call.

"And, who the heck are you?" I hear you ask. We, that is the ageet Corporation in beautiful (and far) Japan and we simply couldn't stand watching the Windows Mobile VoIP market dragging along... with an SJphone version right out of the stoneage, the wannabe softphone Fring with its horrible interface ans support for but one SIP provider and not to forget Skype which single handedly brings your PPC to the knees should you only think about calling someone. AGEphone does things differently and it does things BETTER (see our press release under http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=372992) and we hope that it will be of good service to many people. And that is where you come into play:

... cause our AGEphone has been in programming for quite a while already, but we know well enough that we are just not there yet. We're selling our software and that is why you can expect only the best. So, why not give the current version a go and let me know what you like and (more importantly) dislike about it. Right now we're working on bluetooth support and chat functions are planned for the future. But I know that there must be many more features that you would like to see in in our program and we don't even have a clue about it... until now. A little post might just be enough to let us know!

And we won't just leave you with the good feeling of having helped out to improve the best VoIP client on the Windows Mobile platform - that's just not enough. And so we put out two free licenses for board members who provide us with the best suggestions (and many :P), bug reports and new ideas. And if you are really convinced that AGEphone Mobile is the way to go VoIP and if then you happen to sit in the right seat: We pay well for relayed 3rd party orders and redistribution. So just let us hear from you and the least you get is that we work hard to create a better softphone for you. Whether it will be more depends just on YOU! :D
