Thanks man, will try stuffcool one, when it is out for Note 9. I have a S7 edge for last 18 months and tried a lot of screen protectors, including gadget shield and within 2 months realized all r in vain and have been using s7 edge without any protection since then. But it leads to scratches, which starts becoming an issue post 1 year of usage.

On Note 9, for protecting back side, have already ordered dbrand skin. Was hoping for a decent Rs200-300 types tempered glass, which can stay for 5-6 months without interfering with usage, specially stylus. Do share, if you get any, which works on Note 9
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Virgo_Guy:
Yup, almost all of them are trash.

..

Well, I had to remove the stuffcool as well, as water accumulated in bet^n the screen and the TG. So won't suggest this either.

I'm on a 2nd S9 plus unit with no SG/TG but hydrophobic liquid coating(spigen) being applied right outta box and seems to be going strong with absolutely no scratches/coating removal till date that wasn't the case with the 1st unit, without the solution applied at first. U can give it a try. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Zappapp:
Almost nothing works, whether Glass or full glue Tempered Glass or TPU screen Protector . Finally went naked with my Note 8 after spending 1000's of bucks on all type of screen Protectors. Back side protection can be easily done with a cheap 100-200 bucks TPU protector.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] kingjack:
Wow sounds interesting and if it actually works, also saves from adding unnecessary thickness of SG/TG and can cover both back and front of Note 9. I checked and i am seeing mixed reviews. If more people have used in India, would be great to hear their experience

Edit - Just realized, you cannot remove it, if this coating gets scratches, so doesn't serve purpose
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Virgo_Guy:
Well, it's not to be taken as a replacement for a TG, as it's not.

Rather it's a replacement for any plastic SG to save the screen from scratches and to protect the oleophobic coating wearing off.

..

If you are talking about "mixed reviews" in amazon.in, then ignore it , I'm not surprised at 1st time users not knowing the procedure of applyling the liquid and then vaporizing/drying it up.

---------- Post added at 07:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:06 PM ----------

Wonder why would any1 try to remove the coating itself, if it serves its purpose of protecting well. Atleast I've not seen it getting scratches in few OLED/LCD screens, yet. If at all it's required to be removed, I hope/wish that there are safe solutions to do so. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Zappapp:
Cancelled my order for N9, don't find it an incremental upgrade or worth upgrade.

Best of luck to guys who have ordered. Hope you guys have fun with it & it turns out to be really great.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] kingjack:
Got it. For me, the requirement is to protect screen from unwarranted scratches etc without compromising on user experience, which it seems, it will tick.

Next requirement is to replace it, if and whenever scratches become aesthetically unbearable (I am assuming 7-8 months or may be even a year). I am assuming from your response that instead of removing, it may involve applying a fresh coat.

In any case, inclined to try it out, as it is still better than keeping naked screen and will reach out to you offline to understand correct method of applying and other aspects. Thanks again
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Virgo_Guy:
Honestly, I don't know, after it's being freshly applied what to do if at all the coat itself shows sign of scratches over time, it's just that I'vent seen it yet at all. :)

..

YT is the place with official instructions on how to apply :good:

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] sandeeppathak007:
And what's the best way to apply

I am using a OnePlus 6 and thinking to preorder note9
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Virgo_Guy:
Search in YouTube, for both official and unofficial links.

*Strictly follow the instructions included in the product.

*After the nano coating (DO NOT rub, just apply gently from one side to the other till it's applied to the screen entirely and do it soon as it vaporizes fast) is applied, leave it for about 10 mins without touching the screen, remove the dried up access coat gently and again do not touch the screen for about 12 hrs(spigen says it takes 48 hours to fully be in effect). Done.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] kingjack:
Post reading reviews about Nano liquid protectors, kind of inclined towards not taking risk and getting a normal screen protector. Have found Phantomskinz and seems decent option, but price is high. Still do not mind spending 1000 bucks to protect 78k phone. In case, anyone from Mumbai/Delhi may be willing to explore that option, then we can club order, so it qualifies for free shipping. Plz PM, if anyone is willing and seniors do share, if there is a good protector option available locally without any issues of rainbow,water,dust etc.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dpk1:
Finding a good SG for Samsung flagship has been a challenge since S7 edge. I always settle for gadgetshieldz wet application SG after trying various types. If you're using no case (or a thin fit case) then it is one of the best fitting SG available for curved edged screens for now. Pros : no touch issues like some tempered glass ones, precise fit without any bubbles, self healing and neat look. Cons : orange peel effect, s pen marks tend to stay for a long time, chance to get peeled off (e.g while taking the phone out of jeans pocket while driving a car). If you're using a case like spigen ones then spigen neo flex fits the bill (same as gadgetshieldz). This way - no easy peeling off and longer life of the SG! Just my opinion.

Have heared a lot of good things about whitestone dome TG but never tried myself.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Virgo_Guy:
Having been experienced with gadgetshieldz in the past a few times, I would choose spigen Glas.TR nano liquid anyday, not just for the curved screens but also for the flat ones in place of gadgetshieldz.

When it comes to a Tempered Glass, a fine quality one is non- existing for the curved ones( keeping Whitestone dome aside) - in my experience.

Edit: Forgot to mention I tried Spigen Neo flex as well a few times - (a) very much prone to scratches,

(b) Initially was sticking to the sides but started lifting on its own on the curves later.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] sharavan21:
It was the same for me. The only way I could get it back to Stable 8.1 was to install the Beta again and then go to Samsung Members and De-Register from the beta program. After De-Registering, use Smart Switch to go back to Stable 8.1

---------- Post added at 07:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:28 PM ----------

The changelog states that notification icon (clock, network) are shifted to right
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Virgo_Guy:
That statement is a part of the "buglist", hence "Bugs that have been fixed".

In Beta 2 build, clock notification was shifting to the right for users even though it was designed to be staying on the left in One UI. It was considered as a bug, and eventually got fixed with the release of Beta 3.

The confusion is understabtable btw.

Anyone facing issue with notifications not getting cleared from dropdown panel?

Like stock sms app, when i mark as read in dropdown options, the notification doesn't get cleared...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Winter115:
Yes I did. In android pie the auto brightness is not only depend upon sensor but also on user usage pattern. I solved it by resetting the usage patterns under adaptive brightness setting , then adjust auto brightness minimum setting one time in evening and night. Now everything works fine. Try it
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Virgo_Guy:
In the Stable Pie, I'm getting lower batterylife and significantly lower SOT than all the Pie Beta builds. How about other users ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] ravijani:
It doesnt affect samsung notes and etc apps which i use frequently.

While swift has support for all those apps and much more coming.

Also I have paid themegalaxy app whose dev said he will update app shortly with oneui support.

Lets see.

Give it a few days. It will learn. I had lowest battery life on first ever beta pie build. Then it is increasing gradually for me.

Wait for another update, if not solved try FR.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Virgo_Guy:
I always give a few days for the the ROM to "settle" & and it's been over 6 days and that's more than enough. To make the experience not questionable, FR was the first thing I did after flashing the OTA - stable.

Amongst all past Oreo, Pie beta builds and

this final "CSA2" stable build, the last one has been delivering the poorest in my usage exactly on same settings, apps installed and similar usage pattern. :o
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] praveen1707:
I feel its better on this Final Pie build..In earlier betas and oreo, battery sucked for me..used to get hardly 3 hrs sot.. once i updated to final pie and gave a factory reset...happy that sot increased to 5+hrs with heavy usage like pubg gaming

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] rajil.s:
I have Pie on my N960F/DS with CSC INS/INS, INS/XME. My experience is only with roaming network. With Airtel sim i get a Volte option in the menu however with Jio i dont get a Volte option at all.

Perhaps, Volte works out of the box on home network.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Virgo_Guy:
It's not about roaming or home network.

Voice on a JIO network works only using VoLTE service and hence does not show an optional VoLTE toggle in samsung flagships because having so does not make sense.

Some other phones do give that option even with a JIO sim but keeping VoLTE off one cannot talk.

its just taste of a person

i got confirmation pre-book who have done first, on order list it will go in the stores on 22nd august 6:00Pm onwards, you can avail your phone at the retail store or 3rd party booked store if your pre booked phone arrived or someone has not purchased (in order list)

2. Water carbon cooling system? What's that???:o do not let Samsung fool you in this regard.

3. Batterylife is simply better than s9 plus but do not expect best of the best batterylife out of a 4000 mAh battery....for now.

Edit: Before this OTA, the brightness felt lower than the S9 plus. Post OTA, it feels equally bright as S9+.
