XDA was down for a day.

You don't make it easy, but that's what I like about you. LOL! You have me toying with getting an SM-N9600s. I cannot find the wondamobile you are talking about. The call recording and SMS issues are on my mind as well as getting it to work with Verizon. I don't have to go root, but the option is good to have. The Dual SIM might be a benefit if I end up spending time as a pilot down there. I figure I could always blame you if it doesn't work and I can take the credit if it does. :D

I'm playing with Google Voice and CallHippo, but CallHippo is not free. On the chat side, I've been promoting Signal by Open Whisper Systems. I haven't thought much on the SIM side yet, but your link looks interesting. I have Verizon, but I only have 4G LTE connections now, and before that always and only 4G LTE until I had to make a call because my Note 3 cannot do LTE-A w/VoLTE.

Agreed. Ages ago I had an app that did VOIP using proprietary methods using UDP to work with a business partner who moved 2300 miles away to Vancouver, B.C. where his wife's parents lived. It worked over our then 56K modem connections. I sent him the program on a 3 1/2" floppy. With 56K you can only sample so much so from a quality perspective it was more like an analog long distance call without the hiss, but we could have normal conversation. Phone companies were threatening guys like us, but it backfired on them in court when they were exposed for doing the equivalent thing but as regulated PSTN providers while we were not even using the PSTN nor any of its benefits. LTE is simply the wireless version of IP. Any Internet activity is simply LTE encapsulating IP packets and the wireless provider as the ISP. One advantage of VoLTE for them is it is more efficient due to less addressing and dynamic control the compression where it is needed. VoWiFi is simply the standardization of what wireless providers innovated earlier to deliver Voice over Wi-Fi. Until their networks become standards-compliant, they will require proprietary firmware to make voice over Wi-Fi work on their networks. With the wireless provider as the endpoint, he sells your data. With a VOIP provider as the PSTN provider, the wireless provider effectively becomes a wireless ISP with access to an encrypted data stream leaving him with nothing sell except perhaps metadata if the client doesn't use a VPN. For the phone manufacturer, either his phone and OS can support Internet data or it can't. Whether or not it can record at that point is immaterial. If they won't let the app have access to our contacts or call logs, the VOIP provider can handle that too and they won't have access to those either. Thus, it all becomes a fitting reward for those who have kept us in chains for so long.

It will be $50 and it will be called Whitestone Dome Glass. LOL! The problem is screens with those stupid rounded edges require $50 complex glue-on screen protectors to get 50% of the performance of a $5.00 flat one. You also need not just clearance for the speaker on top but also clearance for the tape that prevents the glue from going into the speaker. On the sides, you can't have a tight-fitting rubber case pushing constantly on the edge your you will have issues with it coming up. The glue cures about like rubber glue you used to use when you were a kid. It doesn't stick to the screen but what it does do is make it fit perfectly. Where it sticks is the bottom side of the screen protector. $50 and an abundance of caution are where the happy campers are.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] bober10113:
i actually dont use any of the protector tapes because they just get into the way. plus even if flue gets into the side buttons and anywhere else it just seals the phone off even more. plus alcohol should dissolve it fine b4 curing too much.

i also take a Q tip and drench it in alcohol and wet the speaker gril damp and wipe it off.

then i apply the glue/screen but cure the bottom and the middle of the screen. then if there has been any spillage in the top speaker grill i apply again alcohol to a Q tip and let it soak into the grill. then finish curing the top part of the phone. i also do an additional cure cycle after cleaning the whole phone with alcohol. i also hold it sideways to the lamp so that each of the 4 edges get an extra extra cure aswell so that they dry up as much as possible to impede dust and lint and crap from sticking. the harder the glue gets the less rubbery it should be i guess...

I use the ZAGG self healing ones
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] bonerp:
Didn't bother on my n8 and apart from a small scratch I've thoroughly enjoyed not using a screen protector to ruin the experience! In the past I've wasted hundreds looking for a good one and decided they are all crap in comparison to going naked. I built my house in this time and it's in pretty good shape tbh

Whitestone is the way to go I have had mine in the note 8 since it came out.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] craigels:
How did you find installation? I purchased this for my note 9 but it looks very complicated to install
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] shagy38:
I have installed 2 one for my wife and mine with no issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] iggibar:
I've had nothing but horrible experience with my Note8 screen protectors. So much that I just stopped using it. You know what I noticed? Those protectors are not worth the constant hassle and loss of touch user experience. due to the curved glass adhesion limitations. I don't plan on using a screen protector on my Note9 either. Both my Note 8 screens are prefect and I've had the first since the Note 8 first came out, and the second since January.

I noticed this as well. If you search note9 screen protectors and set them in order of reviews, you will see two items that have 500+ reviews. It's clear as day that they are fake if you read them. It's ridiculous!!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] jmstansell:
I only really look at verified purchases. If you look at them and they are not verified, it's probably fake.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] lK0N:
I'm really curious how this skin will hold up if it's in a case? Also, can I order everything except the screen protection?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] kazuhira_dokky:
Any thoughts on this? :

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ib2JgJqycRw

The questions is answered with it saying it's full adhesive, but this video only says it's on the sides. Wouldn't that be false advertising?

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] nuclearrage:
Problem with the note series, is that some of us actually use the spen. All the glass protectors have been very inconsistent since curved screens came out, and the feel of the film/plastic protectors is not good for the spen. Although Armour Suit seemed the best for me personally, it still had a drag to it when using the pens, and also would have marks that would stay visible after using the spen. I hear what you are saying , but Samsung has put us into a corner with the design of the screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] alfred_mcskee:
On amazon.co.uk they have 30% off the Whitestone Dome 2 pack, bringing it down to £41.99, but you can also claim a free Whitestone clear case on sale for £9.99, seems a good deal for someone who's never tried them.

Is Whitestone Dome really that good and worth the money? Are they case friendly also (I've tended to use Spigen cases a lot recently)? And how easy are they to remove also? Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] allklrnoflr:
Are these case friendly, I don't see these on Amazon
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] knight900:
Awesome. Good deal.

https://www.fakespot.com/

Test every unknown product or vendor with this, you can't go wrong.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] disturbd1:
There's a code from Android Central I believe that provides an equal discount in the US as well.

I'm equally curious about Whitestone Dome, having just placed my own order for the 2 pack a few days ago. It seems the Note 8 crowd was split on the quality and longevity of them. Some did provide testimonials and pictures of it "saving" their device, so I do have hope.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] alfred_mcskee:
Yeah a few people mentioned the US discount, so I was just trying to help us UK "owners". I'm guessing Whitestone are trying to strike whilst the iron's hot (or the hype is peaked)!

I'm on the fence as to purchasing, though it is a very tempting deal. I'd like to know case compatibility, as I always use one, and I'm very curious as to how easy they are to remove and if the adhesive left behind has any detrimental effect in anyway and if it cleans off easily (I have seen a video from their website but it doesn't answer all my questions)...

I've gone for the AmFilm one for now; had it on my previous Note 8 and it was faultless, case friendly too: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Galaxy-Pro...34424275&sr=8-1&keywords=galaxy+note+9+amfilm

I'll see how this one works and report back; did have a Whitestone Dome one too, but sent it back as the amFilm was more than adequate and at a 1/4 the price too!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] jbanks9251:
I ordered the Whitestone Dome Glass and I also ordered the UAG monarch. I'm hoping the case fits with the screen protector or I may not use a screen protector. It's going to be a $40 test I guess.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Sughosh33:
Where’d you order the zagg from?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] felloffthetruck:
From ZAGG. Wondering if it has full screen adhesive like the site says or only edge sticking?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] cdig:
it didn't fit right with that combo on my note 8. Will push the screen protector up.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] mys3:
Combo works erfect on s9 plus. No issues whatsoever

I've got it on my s9 plus right now.

I read a few reviews and saw some YouTube videos saying it does work but you have to have a perfect install.

As I've said on another thread; I've got the amFilm protector which I had on my previous Note 8 and it was faultless and at £9.99 a go; hell of a lot cheaper than the Whitestone Dome one etc

I've also got the Supcase rugged case 9built in protector) and the I-Blason Ares case on the way too (built in protector, but a more lightweight design compared to the Supcase)

Received my Phantomskinz ultra fast! Just waiting for the Note 9 to arrive. ..

I had to get both the Matte Black with the case friendly ultra clear front and the Ultra clear non case friendly full body because I could not decide. I think I am leaning towards the Matte black to start things off :)

Going with the Dome liquid adhesive tempered glass. Consensus looks like its the best looking and lasting one. I got the 2 pack off amazon and will pair it with a spiegen clear case.

You definitely have to go with the Plastic ones for those curved edges. Applied the Tempered one, but didn’t cover the edges as desired. So went for the flexible plastic ones from GadgetShieldz…

I bought the 2 pack on the white dome. If my first one installs fine, I'm willing to install the 2nd one on someone elses phone for $20. Let me know if interested, I am in San Diego.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] sinofmercy:
Been lurking for years, figured I can finally input. I just finished putting on the Whitestone Dome screen protector on, first time using this type of screen protector (usually I go with Spigen.) Not too bad of an installation, just a slight hiccup of the fluid leaking over the sides and onto the back because I didn't use the side catchers for the adhesive, but was able to pull out the phone before I glued it onto the holder. The majority of the time of the installation was wiping down the screen and checking and rechecking for dust specks. Sat in the bathroom and used a level to make sure the counter I was using was level, and had the shower steam on to keep the dust to a minimum.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] craigels:
Did the leaking glue mark the back of your phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] sinofmercy:
Nope! I had a couple of alcohol wipes ready just in case I saw excessive amounts of oozing glue, so I was able to wipe the back down pretty quickly. It wasn't solidified or gel yet, so I was able to just wipe it off pretty easily.

Plastics on the side won't help with the glue creeping inside mic, ports and other orifices.

I'd recommend using blue painters tape around all areas that you don't want glue going in or onto.

The screen protector from Skinomi protected my screen well on the Galaxy Note 8 and I am choosing to try it out on the Galaxy Note 9.

While using the protector for the Galaxy Note 8, I have witnessed small scratches and blemishes on the screen that were more than likely from the brass knubs on the right-side pocket in jeans. I simply replaced the screen protector with the second one available in the pack and requested another set from Skinomi and they sent a pack of two at no charge! No questions asked! Well, other than verifying the purchase on Amazon haha.

I use the S-Pen quite frequently on the Galaxy Note 8 and did not experience and issue with writing nor any visible marks created by the stylus itself.

I'd suggest Skinomi as an option for those that are still considering which protector to get. Can't go wrong with lifetime replacements!

As I removed bridge some more glue came and then I had two blobs. Then when I placed the screen protector down I found I had two bubbles and panicked. Tried to get rid of them and managed to get glue excess on sides and bottom then had to rapidly remove glue. All okay in the end but not the best experience.

I wish I had checked it out here:

https://www.fakespot.com/product/lu...e-9h-hardness-premium-compatible-note-9-clear

I do not want one that protects the edges as I hate touch sensitive edges as with my old, slow, clumsy fingers I always activate something I do not intend to. I try to get a case that covers the edges.

But the good news is that I can send it back as it is "fulfilled by Amazon." I am not sure why it is "Amazon's choice." I ordered too hastily as I wanted a protector. I don't usually send things back, but I will send this one back as Amazon needs to learn from experience to become more careful about "choice" awards.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] sinofmercy:
Yeah I think one of the important aspects of installing is that people should just assume that some amount of glue will flow over in any direction, and take precautions in covering the speakers, buttons, camera, etc. I actually got really lucky as I didn't cover the front camera/speaker at all, and the glue just didn't overflow there. The other part is I think if you press down on the screen in any way before you start curing, you'll push more glue out and it'll come out and mess things up pretty royally. Either way sorry it didn't go great, it was super stress inducing for me too based off of all the things I read about the Note 8 installation process.

Loca Glue Rainbowing

I installed a loca glued tempered glass yesterday on my Note 9. I let it cure for a few hours. Everything looked good, but when I installed the hard frame for the UB Pro, there was overlap with the glass at the top corners. The pressure instantly made a bad rainbow effect with the bond., It almost looked broken, but wasn't. I was able to remove the glass in one piece pretty easily. Can the case not touch the glass at all without this happening? If so, that's going to be tough.

Thanks!
