If you have the Whitestone Dome on you Note 9 please answer these questions. Thanks.

(1) Did it install perfect and bubble free or did you have problems?

(2) How long has it been on your phone?

(3) Have you developed any bubbles or spider web lines along the edges since you installed it?

(4) Any problems with the glue running into your charge port, headphone jack, power/volume buttons ETC during install?

(5) Have you received any scratches to the protector since it's been installed?

Thank for your time. Just not sure if I want to go the Dome route or not. :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] bignazpwns:
1. Yes every install flawless.

2. 2 months. Phone fell onto a hard floor and did not crack anything but caused delamination because of the junk adheasive provided. Other is a month now no issues.

3 See 2. Most will get this as it is defective uv adheasive that never fully cures. I made videos showing this

4. No just cover the speaker with the grill and you will be fine. Make sure the surface is level prior to the install. You can use a level app.

5 Out of a total of 6 kits. 2 that were 2 packs had one of them with at least one deep scrach. Then 1 other kit had a scrach. Out of 8 protectors.. 3 were scrached.

I vote against it. It's over priced. The cheaper kits have the same adheasive and are more in line of what you should be paying for a kit that uses defective adheasive. Whitestone is a huge waste of money and the warranty means nothing since you will be paying shipping every time and still be getting the same poor quality product every time.

Also note.

Everything leaves dust. They use no optical quality materials. I got a dust free install by doing it in a clean room at my work and using our stuff for cleaning. I have some tips on how to help this but it will be very hard to make sure all dust is off prior to the install. I know lost people are not like me but I make sure my screen is 100% dust free and look at it at multiple angles and a few different light sources. Also the dust removal stickers are trash. Cheap like the theam of the kit and it will leave some residue on your screen. Throw them away.

I have done this install three times for note 8 and ones for note 9.

1. I have had bubbles every single time. Note 9 had least. Just three minor on the edge where screen curves. I have been able to work them out tho, but that causes more glue to seep out.

2. On note 8 they lasted around 3 months each. Been using it just a week on my Note 9 atm.

3. Not on note 9. This seems perfect. On note 8 they all had lifting, but I could always find some small fault on how I treated my device. That said its like living on a razor's edge.

4. Not a issue.

5. Small hair scratches during those 3month segments.

This glass is so smooth and slick. Looks and feels absolutely amazing. I have done installation 100% correctly, but still having small bubbles. I dont think it's entirely reliable method, but you can work bubbles out before you cure it. But I think it causes it to separate more easily because it makes more glue seep out.

I love this glass, but cant say for certain if I would buy fourth. Maby, likely.... We will see how long this one lasts.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] kbrn:
I just replaced mine yesterday...

First it got a lot of micro scratches and one big scratch, and I baby my phones like no one, hell I clean them every night.

Second the delamination on the edges until it drove me crazy, I like my phones looking nice and as pristine as possible.

I have to note that my first experience with the whitestone dome glass was perfect, I got one for my LG V30+ and until today after over a year of use doesn't have a single scratch or delamination.. it's just perfect!

I think they just have got greedier and cheap now using ****ty materials.

I'm not going through the hell of asking for a replacement as I have seen many many reviews and comments on Amazon and reddit about their ****ty customer service.

I used this product from Ringke after watching someone's video about it who also had the same problem with the whitestone doom glass ...

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07JH795PN/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

This is the easiest screen protector I have installed in my life, cover almost the whole screen without the risk of being lifted by a case (at least the 3 cases I own didn't have an issue)

Though I really miss having the smoothness of a glass protector these seem to be pretty good.

To finish my post I would like you fellas who have a problem with Whitestone dome glass to say this with me: "**** Them!!" :D

You would think that a product that costs as much as they charge would have a better quality or at least stand behind their product's quality and warranty..

1 I installed flawlesly

2 2 months

3 Yes scratches easily and delamitation

4 no if you follow instructions to the T (though residue is present at the glass edges making it a dust magnet)

5 yes (lots of micro scratches and a big one too

6 (you didn't ask for this one) BUT bro please save your hard earned money and look for a different product
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] RaymondPJR:
1. Flawless installation

2. Over two months

3. Just got two small ones today in the chin area at the bottom!

4. Nope, used the stickers and no glue went where it wasn't supposed to.

5. Got a big scratch today from my keys!

I'm gonna have to live with this, it's not so bad I need to take it off yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] pcriz:
(1) I've done two installs on the note 9, one had a tiny bubble at the bottom, the other was flawless.

(2) First one was roughly 45 days before it started forming a half inch bubble on the curve of the display. Ended up cracking it in a drop and replaced it. The second one started de-laminating in the first week

(3) No bubbles near the edges but as you see from my 2nd answer I did form a bubble near the curve on my first install

(4) No issues with it running into ports. First install had an excess near the top so I would get little glue balls when wiping the device down

(5) scratches pretty easy
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Y0sHii:
1. I had an extra note 8 Whitestone dome kit so i used that, the phone didn't fit completely in the plastic kit forcing me to eyeball it for the most part.

2. I've had it installed since i had the Note 9 on release date. .

3. Very small spot of small bubbles on lower right of screen but its on the bezel area just be fore the edge.

4. No Issues with glur running anywhere, even without using the kit and mostly eyeballing it. (lots of glue on the back of the phone but wiped off easily.)

5. No noticeable scratches at all but i baby my phones.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] t-shock:
1. No it did have some small bubbles but nothing too important

2. 3 weeks

3. Yes and many of them, see here https://ibb.co/NZ1Rydp https://ibb.co/rwbbhwF https://ibb.co/26tSDS5

4. No because I covered them with tape

5. Yes but not visible easily
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] eliashadow:
good evening guys. after removing the glass I noticed on the screen some, as little as dots. I guess it can be from glue (?). has happened to someone else and if so how are they removed? the liquid cloth did not remove them.

Sent from Note 9 while ruling the world from my toilet.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] RGardner:
Put mine on in August - 5 months now.

I did three other phones in the product, so I'm pretty proficient in application, so it installed perfectly.

No issues with over-gluing areas - of course they give you a protector for the earphone/sensor area that works adequately.

There is some surface scratching now - two places, and I know exactly how it happened. I put my phone in the same pocket as my house keys. Otherwise, it has held up well. And let's be honest, that's the point of putting one of these on... so it can get scratched and not the phone glass.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Bullitt3309:
1. Perfect install, no issues

2. Been on my phone since launch, second one on my wifes Note for two months. He first one got broken when she dropped it on gravel. Glass did its job and shattered, protecting the factory glass.

3. None

4. No

5. Nothing on mine, or Wifes second one. But I look at this as a sacrificial layer to protect the phone from drops, etc.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] pizza_pablo:
After 2 months and 1 week, this TGSP is looking good and holding on. Same for the wife's Note 9, plus a couple weeks.

I am very thankful that I have not experienced the lifting or spidering that others have reported!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] JJEJJ:
I been using Whitestone dome since s8 and never had any issues. Yes, you will get some scratches, but far less than using the phone with out one (isn't this the whole point of using screen protector?). I now had it on 2 of note 9 (my wife and I) for a few months, and all I have is few micro scratches only visible at certain angle with screen off. If you use s pen much, then you need glass protector. Whitestone is best one by far as long as you follow direction during the install.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Batas:
(1) Yes

(2) 2 months

(3) Yes. Reason why I'm not using it anymore, and will not use it again.

(4) No

(5) No
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] koy1:
1. Perfect install, no bubbles ect.

2. 3 months.

3. Showing spider web lines near a couple of the edges.

4. No glue issues during install

5. Scratches really easily and has at least 3 hair line cracks across the glass, phone hasn't been dropped in anyway.

For the cost of the kit in my opinion this is by no means perfect, looks good at first but just doesn't hold up. I bought a two pack so will give another try and see how that one goes, was hoping to last a little longer though.:(
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] alher591:
my last install has held up quite nicely considering it was not 100 % perfect. about 3 months now.

I have two air bubbles at the top right corner and they have not budged or have caused the rest of the protector to "web" or lift.

I change phone cases out very often. I have seen reports of WS users having issues where they start seeing the glass lift after swapping out cases multiple times.

The only thing i did different was cure the screen way longer than instructed. probably 15+ mins worth of "curing".
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] glenroebuck:
So I finally figured this out - pre the latest update 5 ghz wifi on the Oneplus 6t worked flawlessly. Then the latest update came down (ironically over 5 ghx wifi) applied and rebooted and poof 5 ghz wifi no longer works. It connects, it gets ip, it can see the router everything looks normal but if i try to go anywhere on the internet - it tells me i am off line . 2.4 ghz wifi works just fine but the 5 ghz is broke. It took me a while to find this because I would auto switch to wifi at work and at home and didn't realize what was going on. Playstore would not download, app updates never came trhough. If I turned wifi off it all worked but then I am eating my data plan. Just an FYI to anyone having odd issues suddenly.

Sorry. Can't reproduce issue.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] glenroebuck:
For those that it works on 5 ghz - what band is your 5ghz on - if you check your wifi under network details see if it says 5 ghz or defaulting 2.4? (some people have combined wifi that will place you on what ever network is fastest) - also if you could show post your link speed (show on the Oneplus 6t under network details for wifi
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] glenroebuck:
Actually - I did a quick test and I could be incorrect. I set up a guest network with 5 ghz no password and got on it just fine and can pull 400 Mbs. My network password is complex so that might be what is causing the issues . I am going to experiment with a shorter password to see if that fixes it - but that would be a shame if that is the fix as it worked just fine before.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] robertzas:
On tmobile, unlocked, flashed through twrp, no issue 5ghz as far as i can tell.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] glenroebuck:
So I experimented more. Here are the results. No matter what I did to my internal wifi I could not get a connection on 5 Ghz. No issues on 2.4 with a long pw, a short pw- aes or tkip wpa or wpa2. But cannot, will not go anywhere on 5 ghz. Here is the odd thing. I can set up guest wifi on my router so I did. I set it up with no pw and boom, 2.4 g, 5 ghz1 and 5ghz2 - all of it. Then I turned on wpa/wpa2 and encryption (auto/aes/tkip) and set a password...and boom. Still working?? Exact same set up internal Wifi - nothing same issues. It's Bizarre. I turned off all the fancy settings for internal wifi like link sharing, fastest connection - I separeated them out to 2.4g/5G1/5g2 just like my guest and ...nothing. I can connect all day long but it just cannot get to anything on the internet. So for now I guess I am stuck using my guest network.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] glenroebuck:
To the others who said they have the issue - what brand of router? - Mine is the TP-LINK AC5400
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] tocogi73R:

[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] biohaz55:
This sounds like it's a DCHP server issue with your router.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] glenroebuck:
can't be - dhcp is band agnostic and it works - I get an ip address on 2.4 and 5 ghz just cannot get anywhere on 5ghz when using my home internal router set up - plus when I set up guest network on the same router I am just fine. And it worked just fine before the latest Oxygen update (that and I have about 18 devices on wifi all working just fine - including my oneplus 6 running the same Oxygen update - ) Has to be a bug of some kind.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] simbus82:
Same problem here, oneplus 6T and Oxygen 9.0.11. I have this bug since update from 9.0.10 to 9.0.11.

I'm not on TMobile (see on reddit about oneplus_6t_update_breaks_google_play_certification), i'm in Italy with TIM operator.

I have problems with Fastweb Fastgate Router (Askey RTV1907VW), wifi 5ghz is connected but i can't browse, i can't do a speedtest from App on OnePlus 6T, etc.

But now in my office, i have a Vodafone 5GHz router, and i don't have any issue!

Could be a problem of the "channel" for 5Ghz wifi connection?
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] geminium:
Here's little more details on what's happening in my case.

I can connect to 5ghz and I'm no Internet. If I reboot with WiFi on then I can go online, however, if I turn wifi off I have no data connection whatsoever (mobile data doesn't work) - I then need to reboot the phone in order to get mobile data working.... Weird....
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Frankenscript:
Checked last night. My phone connects fine on 5GHz and has internet connection, works fine, and phone and router confirm it is 5GHz. It's an Asus AC86U router.

Hope this data point helps. I have occasionally had a router / phone combo that just would not play together, and once a laptop refused to get data from an old Belkin router. It would connect/provision but no data would flow. Replaced router, profit.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] 400ixl:
5Ghz works fine for me. I have my wifi separated onto 2 different AP names for the two bands. Can connect to the 5Ghz network with mobile data off and no issue browsing the internet.

So not a global issue, but clearly an issue for some. I have tried it on several routers as well, My Netgear R7000, BT Home Hub.

For those who are having the issue, is there a commonality in the router being connected to, as it could be a protocol mismatch. Still would need resolving but may give some additional info.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] glenroebuck:
I have tried different channels but it seems to happen on all of them.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Frankenscript:
Check for firmware update for router?
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] glenroebuck:
Router has the latest firmware and I should mention I have a Oneplus 6 and 6t - same build the 6 gets on the 5 Ghz and can get everywhere on the internet. The 6t cannot, unless I connect up to the guest network.

My 3T generates screen captures my Windows 7 PC can view with the standard photo viewer; my 6T makes screen capture JPGs that Photo Viewer won't open (but most other programs have no problem with).

Little tweaks in protocols and codecs matter. Sorry to hear of this annoyance.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Swimguy14:
Did you try wiping cache or outright factory reset on the phone? Or unplug\reset router? Also assuming you had the phone totally forget the network and then re-add it? (As opposed to just changing the password) when you did the troubleshooting

i noticed that my OP6T McLaren is disconnected from my 5G WiFi and not identifying any 5G, i have rebooted and it got connected to 5G again! didn't try the data thing
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] simbus82:
An update : i have tryed to change the 5ghz wifi channel in router from 140 to 44 (one with a low traffic). For some hours I was able to navigate without problems. Same thing on 2.4Ghz.

But, after one night, everything came back unusable.

For me is a problem of compatibility between OPO 6T 9.0.11 and some routers with particular combination of wifi channels.

The sure thing is that the problem happened after the update to version 9.0.11 (ex 9.0.10).

The previous version (9.0.7) worked great!

[General Questions and Answers] ewingr:
I am beginning to think I have a problem with my Note 9. But I do see a lot of info out there about 'how to fix Play downloading' etc.

I can do a total facdtory reset, and it'll work for a while,. But then next thing I know, it will download quickly, but then say installing...but not install. Sometimes if I just let it go, and check back an hour later, it will be installed.

Sometimes it will download to 97%, then stop downloading.

I have tried the following suggestions I have found:

Clear cache on Google Play

Clear Data on Google PLay

Both of above on Google Play Services

Removing my Google Account and re-adding

Nothing seems to be helping.

BTW... I run into download pending issues a lot too.

Any suggestions?
[General Questions and Answers] Ibuprophen:
I don't have this device but, the only thing I can think of is to open up the Play Store > open the menu and enter your Play Store settings > scroll down to the Build Version of the Play Store and then tap it continuously several times then exit the Play Store App. Give it 15-20 +/- minutes and then Reboot your device. Once booted up, give it a few minutes and open up the Play Store and try downloading again.

That process is a manual way for the Play Store to update itself that may not have automatically updated itself for some reason.

Good Luck! :)

Thanks. I'll give that a try.

I have done another factory reset. I've also had problems with Lightflow getting notifications to act on. I am thinking I have an app (I install a lot of them) that is problematic causing all these problems.

So at the moment, everything is working OK. It'll take a long time to find which app is the problem, even if that is the case.

I couldn't provide device specific guidance since I don't have what you have but, I can only do the best I can regarding the Play Store App.

I do know that apps that affect the Internet in regards to IP, VPN and similar can potentially affect the Play Store as well.

Thanks for pointing that out. I'll check that. I have had a VPN on the phone, but haven't been running it as I do find problems with some sites when it is on.

I'll keep an eye on that.

So far lsince my last factory reset it's working. But I have a lot of apps I have not installed yet. I'm installing them slowly, hoping to discover which app is causing the issue...if that's the problem.
