[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] mikeyk101:
Interesting. Thanks for the link. The more I look in the XDA forums, the more I am second guessing my choice on getting this phone. Between the screen burn, the peeling paint, the charging port burning out, mysterious cracks in the screen, etc... I am wondering if I should have done a little more research. So far, knock on wood, this first month has been trouble free and hopefully it stays that way.

And as far as the protective plastic film on the sides, maybe it is a recent change that Samsung is doing? I honestly couldn't see it but could feel it and when I peeled it off, it was perfectly cut out to go around the buttons. One of the posts in the link you provided mentioned a protective film over the colored back glass to provide a better visual look. Maybe that's what I discovered on the side and was supposed to leave it on but I couldn't stand the uneven feel of it before I got the case.

Bahahaha!! That's great!:laugh:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Max_Terrible:
Rather think of it this way. How many millions upon millions do you think Samsung sold of this device? When you Google it, how many reports and posts do you get that state the strange and weird problems that all those millions of people are having?

It's one thread on XDA-Developers with a few people that has had unfortunate incidents. To prevent screen burn-in is a simple solution: don't leave your phone on full brightness, just laying on the desk, in one app, for 4 hours, without allowing it to even turn off for 2 minutes. The screen won't burn within a couple of minutes, on auto-brightness. No need to be overly conservative, but also don't treat it like it's unbreakable.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Ace42:
High brightness and static images are poison to an OLED screen. My LG G Flex 2 is ~3 years old with no burn-in, but the same is true of my Note 4 (just has water damage).

I'm planning on picking up a Note 8 soon. Burn-in is the least of my worries, since super bright screens irritate my eyes.

Lmfaooo.... I can't hahaha my coffee just got spit HAHAHA!!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] me_ashman:
Mine's ****ed. The paint is chipped and the screen has so many shadows burned in.

I don't care though, it's almost 1.5 years old. I'll just have the frame/screen and a battery replaced and it will be like new again.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] m20120:
I have had my Note 8 for just over a year and I have visible burn in on my screen. I have used it extensively for gaming and I know that is the reason for it. The most visible burn is the bands at the top and bottom of the screen from the notification bar and the Navigation bar at the bottom of the screen. I can also see some elements of the game display in the middle of the screen if I look closely but neither of these bother me much.

I had the same problem with my Note 4 before it died. It had the same issue, so I guess I am not surprised that I see it on my Note 8.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Ace42:
Repairs for the Note line come at a high price. Ubreak charges $239 (authorized chain), and Samsung centers are about the same. It's worth mentioning that they also replace the band and battery, too. But for a little more one could simply buy another N8 or save for a N9.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] me_ashman:
Where are located..... That price isn't in my country. Refurbished n8 is roughly au$600-$800. New screen/frame and battery is $350 if I do it myself (which isn't difficult).
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Ace42:
Ubreak is located in the US, along with an actual Sammy repair center. A used Note 8 costs > $250 in the states (cheaper ones usually have "LCD shadow").

When the repair is done by Sammy or Ubreak the service includes: Screen, band, and battery. Diagnostic is free.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] daffa ZRN:
You made me realise i have burn in from being in instagram too much
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Anonymously_Unknown:
My friend's Note 8 has some nasty burn-in due to watching YouTube in the small "portrait" mode all the time on full brightness. The other burn he has is from the on-screen keyboard being on for most of the time (social media junkie). Whenever I have to have my screen on full brightness, I try to flip the screen periodically to "even-out" the pixel wear. I usually go full-screen whenever possible to keep the entire screen animated, if I have to go full brightness.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] donelam304:
I've had my note 8 since pre orders came out. Yes, you can burn an image in the screen. I play lineage 2 on mine and it's burnt in the screen bad.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Mc Binsk:
That's weird that a game would do that. The screen is constantly changing. You mean like the controls burned on?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Anonymously_Unknown:
I'd laugh if I came across someone's phone with pr0n burnt in the screen on full brightness. The most common burn in I've come across is the ones for the onscreen keyboard with social media apps.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] PLUG313:
I've had absolutely no problems with burn in and I've had the Note8 since around the time it came out I think. I don't understand how people can endure the full brightness for so long that it burns stuff in ahah
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Anonymously_Unknown:
I assume it is for those individuals who use the phones outdoors in direct sunlight (where screen brightness is automatically maxed out)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] mikeyk101:
On my S7, I would use it a lot on my motorcycle in a RAM mount with Waze for navigation and I would have to have the brightness turned all the way up. I know that caused burn in on that. I have only had my Note 8 for about 2 months but plan on doing the same thing with it. It's been too crappy to ride so I'm not sure how bright I will have to make it or it will work out.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Ace42:
You could buy an LCD/IPS based phone, then install Here Maps (or any with offline maps). Alternatively, use hotspot from your Note to feed the mounted device. G5s, V20s, iPhone SE and so on are dirt cheap.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Anonymously_Unknown:
With your Note 8, you can update to Pie, then enable Dark Mode, and test it in the sunlight. It may appear "pale", but at least you should have any burn in and can still have an idea where you are riding.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] mikeyk101:
Patiently (well maybe not so patiently) awaiting the Pie update so I can find out. I already got a taste of it with drl7 but went back so I can get the official update...

---------- Post added at 19:57 ---------- Previous post was at 19:38 ----------

I have had my phones connected up by bluetooth to the bike's audio which works very well. Adding one more device in the mix would complicate things a bit. And I would really like to use my Note 8 because of the screen size. I got by with the S7 but screen size was a bit of a challenge as my eyes age. My preferred navigation app is Waze now because I find that it stays very current with traffic, problems on the road, etc. I think it works even better than Google maps. I can't wait for the Pie update to give "Dark mode" and "Night mode" a try to see how well it works.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Anonymously_Unknown:
Wait..What???

I've always been curious to know how and where Waze gets its updates from, as this would be Google's forte in terms of crowd-sourcing. Here in Jamaica, Waze is better suited for motorists, but not pedestrians. For this reason, Google Maps is the better all-rounder here.

Since you have Bluetooth audio for turn-by-turn directions, do you still need maximum screen brightness, or do you just need to reduce the screen resolution while out in the sun to make the font larger (at reduced screen brightness)?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] mikeyk101:
Waze gets its updates by a network of other users making reports such as accidents, road hazards, police, etc... In metro areas, there are plenty of eyes out there and no shortage of people reporting various problems. It's been a while since I have used Google maps but Waze is also very up to date on red light cameras and speed cameras. Around me, there are plenty of both and easy to get caught by one. And just a guess, but I'm sure the server is monitoring the users locations and speeds and can then be able to report traffic conditions as well. With Google maps, many of the reports and notifications provided by Waze dont exist and there is no way for a Google maps user to report stuff. With Waze, it's also very easy to pull up alternate routes on the fly. It will usually offer 2 alternate routes besides the route you are on if needed. The estimates time to destinations on Waze are usually almost dead on.

And surprisingly, I usually silence the voice directions as they can be annoying. Usually I have a pretty good idea of where I am going and which ways to go so I only occasionally need to glance down to check directions. The popup notifications I get from Waze I find more helpful and important. I use either Pandora to stream tunes or play any of the hundreds of mp3 songs via bluetooth on the stereo. And by using the bluetoothing setup I have, if I get an important call, I can answer it.

As far as the brightness, I haven't had the phone long enough to try it out on the bike yet. It's been way too damn cold and snowy/icy to try it on the bike yet. I can't wait til spring for better weather. So I'm not sure if I will need the max brightness. I did on the S7 but will have to wait and see on the Note 8.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] battler624:
A few days ago I posted this in general https://xdaforums.com/android-auto/...android-auto-questions-specific-ones-t3894283 I got some answers but I have more research lead me here.

Specifically instead of going with pioneer with whatever software they are using I could instead use a fully android based unit that is self-dependant if need be and use headunitreloaded to serve my android-auto needs (I heavily prefer using my to choose locations or change the music or atleast pass it around if anyone wants to change the music) so I am here asking the pros, what do you guys recommend that I do? follow my original post? or this post? because pretty much what I want is to use android auto while i'm able to use my phone, listen to music and use the backup camera. (on that note, which cameras do you recommend that dont shine an LED when reversing)
[MTCD Android Head Units General] jtom617:
I too am on the fence regarding purchasing an android powered head unit. but what makes me second guess my choices is poor build quality and software to boot.

any device you looking at in particular?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] sunnywala:
I'm not on the fence, I just need to find the right one to order

From what I gather we need something px5 if we want to load roms?

The 4 I've narrowed them down to are listed below along with a camera(not all mention PX5 though they may have it, all but 1 are 10.1 inches)-

Pumpkin: looks like they have good support, 7" screen $240

hxxps://wxw.amazon.com/dp/B07K82XT4Q

Joying: Company has been around awhile, but youtube is full of issues with this model priced at $370

hxxps://wxw.amazon.com/dp/B07K82XT4Q

T-One: Little to information on the net about the company, middle of the range price point at $310

hxxps://wxw.amazon.com/dp/B07FKQHV2F

Eonon: Cheapest at $225

hxps://wxw.amazon.com/dp/B07HNZ2L8D

Camera I've chosen: only 420tvl, look for one at 800tvl for best quality

hxxps://wxw.amazon.com/dp/B06XNM7GNS/
[MTCD Android Head Units General] millab:
Just letting you know the Eonon unit you linked does not have a PX5, it is a mediatek processor. Eonon GA2170 / GA2170B / GA2171S are current ones with PX5.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] battler624:
I'm looking at Xtrons units honestly, Xtrons 10" and Xtrons 7"

What about the xtrons i linked?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] battler624:
Do you use HeadUnit Reloaded with your GA2171S?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] sunnywala:
I'm not seeing PX5 on the 10 inch you linked.. looks like a good unit though
[MTCD Android Head Units General] battler624:
Both are PX5, the 7inch you can find on ali express specifically mentions PX5 and the 10inch you can find here on xda https://xdaforums.com/android-auto/...trons-unit-te103ap-android-8-4gb-ram-t3763542
[MTCD Android Head Units General] millab:
Yes I checked on the XTRONS website and both of those units 10-inch and 7-inch are PX5 MTCE

No I don't, I run Hal9K 3.1.1 and FCC Car Launcher which does everything I need, so no need to use my phone for anything other than BT Calls
[MTCD Android Head Units General] battler624:
Can you please test to see if it works? using wifi direct (even better if you have OneUI on your note 8). if it does work I'm definitely getting one.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] millab:
I tried this with Headunit Reloaded but couldn't get it to work using wifi - it complained of an IP issue. I'm not sure if it was just my unit as I have lots of customisations on mine. But I did get the USB connection working fine.

[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] cd85233:
Hi All,

I have a OP6T and my fiance has the S8+. Technically the S8+ has the universal RCS built in now. OP6T should have it too or at least I think it does using android messages. However, I can't seem to get it to work between the two devices. I can never see the read/typing things that we usually get with the Samsung to Samsung phones.

I have tried different apps on the OP6T and nothing. I have heard other people with older OP phones having success with RCS using google messages.

Can anyone explain how to get it working or if it is even possible?
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] ma678:
Have you tried Google Message from Play Sore? I have a feeling the built-in message doesn't support RCS.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] ewatt99:
oneplus is not supporting RCS, atleast for now.

Sorry I meant Google Message...Doesn't work for me.

Is this a phone/ROM thing? I thought the universal profile was on Android 8+.

[ZTE Nubia Z17 Mini Questions & Answers] Adi168:
Hi all,

I have a problem with my Nubia. The fingerprint option just suddenly disappeared. I've tried downgraded and upgraded the ROM, it did work but only for somedays. So I have to re-do it every time the fingerprint sensor doesn't work and the option disappeared.

I think the fingerprint sensor is not broken, maybe the problem is from the ROM (but I'm not quite sure).

Some ROM that I've tried are: v. 2.06, v. 2.09, v. 2.10, v. 2.12, v. 2.14 (all global version).

Anyone can help me to fix it please? Honestly I'm so stressed out now don't know what to do.

Thank you in advance.

Have you tried the GMS Core apk?

About one year ago, I found a GMS Core available on Google Drive - https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B64ADSfC5LHbMHdlZ2ZONVhXVWM

But I am not sure that it is still available there and whether it will work for you.

Just for your reference.
[General Questions and Answers] xdafan2015:
It seems that you've tried a lot of things.

I assume you have successfully rooted the phone?

Which other versions of software are you speaking of? Custom ROMs or just apps that would take the place of Google Play?

Have you tried flashing MindTheGapps instead?

https://www.reddit.com/r/LineageOS/comments/8358p0

Otherwise unless you absolutely have to use stock ROM on the phone I would recommend LineageOS. I installed this on a Samsung Galaxy S5 Duos (not china version) myself a while ago and it works great.

Make sure you do a full backup of your phone in TWRP before you flash if you want to try this!

Samsung Galaxy S5 LTE Duos (China) (G9006W/8W) (kltechnduo) - LineageOS ROMs

LineageOs ROM Samsung Galaxy S5 Duos (China) (SM-G9006W, SM-G9008W, SM-G9009W) kltechnduo Official roms Download last nightly build (2022-12-23) (mirror EU).LineageOS 18.1 – [ Android 11.0 (Red Velvet Cake) ] [Recovery file (2022-12-23) (mirror EU)] Previous version (nightly) (2021-03-27)...

lineageosroms.com

For rooting LineageOS 18.1 you need Magisk

https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/download/v23.0/Magisk-v23.0.apk

This is how I did it:

FLASHING LineageOS 18.1 IN TWRP RECOVERY

Firstly Format Data (instead of a simple Wipe Data)

Then do an Advanced Wipe of Cache, Dalvik+Art Cache & System

** THIS STEP WILL WIPE YOUR PHONE OF ALL DATA **

Then flash LineageOS and MindTheGapps one after the other,

in that order & in one go

without restarting the phone!

Exit out of TWRP Recovery by rebooting into System.

FLASHING Magisk 23.0 IN TWRP RECOVERY

Download Magisk23.0.apk from official Magisk website and rename it to Magisk.zip.

Flash the Magisk.zip file.

Exit out of TWRP Recovery by rebooting into System.

On first boot after installing Magisk phone reboots on boot animation once.

Once phone is booted, start the Magisk app and allow it to install the full app.

I LEAVE NO GUARANTEES this will work for you so it's on your OWN responsibility if you choose to try it. I can only say it worked for me.

Hi, i have problem with my Note 9, It charges my Spen to 100%, but when i remove Spen and use its remote functionality, it drains out in less than two minutes (instead of 30 to 40 minutes) :confused::confused::confused:. I have tried resetting the spen but same issue.

Please help to solve this issue.

Sorry for my bad English.

So the problem was my office printer. My routine was that i put my phone in table drawer and above that, printer was placed. As we all knew that Spen are prone to magnets. Now i keep my phone away from printer and Spen is working fine.

So how i found it? i was experimenting with magnet. I put my Spen in Phone and put a strong magnet near my phone screen and my phone said Spen is out and Spen battery drained in 2 minutes (while spen was still in the phone). funny experiment. :p:p
