As long as you manage to shave the combined thickness below 1.4mm it will fit. I went as far as 1.2mm that is when the sim card failed. Also chamfer the sd card's leading and trailing edge on the printed side to minimize it catching anything when going in and out.
*
Good job there. How did you manage to measure the thickness? Did you use a caliper?

This is the screen protector right? Its not the tempered glass. But anyway, I'm thinking whether I should go for screen protector or not
*
My advice to you is to get a screen protector. It is such a great phone. The least you can do for it is protect it's externals which has the most contact day in day out. As for the type of screen protector, you have to find one which floats your boat.

Yeah. My sim card kaput. Make sure you have enough tool to extract sim card and use less heat as possible.
Fortunately I use Celcom First. it is really easy to get your sim card replaced.

When you peel of you sim chip. you do have a big glue sticking on the back right? how do you tackle this problem?
*
Have you tried wiping it off with alcohol solution? Usually it should remove some of the glue if not all.

Hi Team, anyone know how to resolve Facebook video bug issue in which not able to play video smoothly and always need to click the play button to proceed the entire video? Is there anything to do with instant apps from Google Play Store or Video Enhancer from Samsung itself?
*
Also facing the same problem these past 2 weeks. I believe has something to do with Facebook app itself and not our phones. Anyone else can confirm this? Thank you

Just because you mentioned it, I checked my unit. You know what? I think there's a protector there. It's actually difficult to tell. And mine is a pre-order set. Happy to say the scanner works ok but like almost all phones, there are occasional misfires.

I believe it's because of this layer that there were many reports that the fingerprint scanner scratches easily.
*
Yes it is true that once the layer of protection has been removed, the finger print scanner does tend to scratch easily. I experienced it from my GS7 Edge. Now with the Note 8, I am careful not to meddle with it. Everyone who is a Note 8 user should take note NOT to peel it off.

I'll think I'll wait for a while more before getting this note 8.
Let me rest a while. It's been 3 years in note edge and further 2 years on note 2. Let me use a non note for a while.

Let drop and slide further and further.... Down... Down.... Lol
*
Don't wait too long Bro. Heard that GS9 is launching early next year, so by the time you decide to buy, the Note 9 might be almost out already. I know your concern is the lacking of the IR blaster but I sure you can do without it.

Surprisingly, I able to unlock my phone using iris scanner when I'm using my sunglasses with Polaroid lens under shade.

That is awesome. I don't really use my iris scanner but might be worth to play around with it more after what you just said.

Do anyone still experience facebook auto pause while playing? After the lastest facebook app update still the same, is it due to phone or facebook software bug?
*
Yes, still experiencing the same issue. Awaiting the bug fix update which I hope comes asap.

I believe it's Facebook bug as I had the same issue previously. I installed back older version of Facebook (v145) no more video auto paused now
*
Phew....that confirms it. I am not going to rollback even though it is annoying. Just going to wait for the update fix.

Looks like can hit 6-7 hours screen time, been using on shopping apps since 100% charged last night, using at home so the brightness is not very high

That is pretty much the same SOT performance I am getting with my Note 8. Should not vary too much. Very happy with my phone.

Anyone have the similar issue? Auto brightness on. When under direct sunlight the screen will look slightly grey then will turn back to the vibrant colours
*
Yes I get this effect all the time. I just manually adjust the screen brightness to my suitability even though leaving the auto brightness on when faced under direct sunlight.

Hi guys.
Anyone facing 'sync failed' with their Samsung Notes lately?
It's been two days already.
I don't know what to do. Lots of notes and memos there haihhh

Can somebody recommend me other note app? Preferably one with option to save data locally. Not trusting all this cloud thingy anymore
*
Have you tried Evernote? Give it a go. You won't regret it.

Never heard of shops selling price being lower than purchasing online. I might be wrong though. Let's see of other forumers know what I don't.

yes, i bought my clear view cover after conversion around rm190..

Wow, with that price after conversion, it is only slightly cheaper compared to Malaysia. Nevertheless, cheaper is still good.
