Hi all Samsung Note 8 Users,

anyone face that your note 8 color peeling off? mine started peeling off suddenly since last sunday ( ). the color that using was Black. i did on survey that few ppl from different country their note 8 (black) the side corner color start peeling off suddenly without doing anything or drop on flow.

i do having the same issue with them. so i did go to service centre and check with them. what their answer is, this is the 1st case, and they change the entire LED for me. but after 4 days, which thursday, it started peeling off again. with the same spot (button between volume button and bixby button). i was wondering, i seldom use those 2 bottom. why it peeling off...

so i went back to service centre to get them check on it, result is, they cant do any replacement and do not know what other reason it peeling off... (yet, might be user issue which they do not know how the user use the phone). i was like, WTF, i do nothing beside using the phone. some more i just change the entire screen for 4 days.

they ignore my request and told me complaint to samsung HQ. do you all having the same issue. 

please highlight to me.
I thought the above issue is serious enough for us to bring it over from previous thread. Any new updates, bro woeikang?

Ya. They asked him to write to HQ so I'm wondering if he did that.

I'm on Orchid Grey too, with Spigen Neo Hybrid. Also all good so far.

I think it is app problem. I don't use Facebook but instead Swipe for Facebook app - doesn't have such problems
FB app is known being problematic, loads slow, takes up more memory etc

I also checked my Orchid grey unit. Also no such issue.

Read some comments in other forums. Apparently, this "peeling issue" is quite hot among the Note 8 users all around the world. And most of them are midnight black units. So far, haven't heard any similar issues reported by Orchid grey, Maple gold and Deepsea blue owners yet. Looks like the black color coating on the side of Midnight black unit was a poor rush job by Samsung. I wonder if they already fixed this in 2nd batch....

Just my opinions on this, you're free to disagree, but here goes:

Honestly I dislike that the coating is peeling we didnt pay almost RM 4k for this, but I am not altogether surprised. If you paint any glossy paint on metal, or anything, it is bound to happen, it is just a character of glossy paint.

I would hate for it peel bigger, but I am fine with it. If it ia really thay bad for you, I suggest you document it, take pictures, the more it gets bigger, the more you have a case to say it is a defect. If not, just live with it

Could be a glitch. Try reset the network setting and see if it solves the problem.

refer to above posts about samsung pay
it seems like so hard to collect and some more 6 months validity only
to me, this type of design more means to rich people or business who always spend/purchase a lot
just like credit card points

if like this, it is not my favor
future when it support the banks that i am using, i will use it also

it is hard for me to collect the huge number of points to redeem even the lowest points item

many shops at Malaysia are still not friendly for cashless payment method

Just wondering, pay wave and samsung pay is using the same technology right? so even though they dont have samsung pay logo at their shop or the payment terminal, we still can use samsung pay and act as a Visa credit card with pay wave feature?

Most shops that accept credit card, u can use Samsung Pay. Our phone can replicated the magnetic strip.

Most shops won't even know what you're doing. Just ask them to bring the credit card machine to you and key in the amount.

2000 point a month is very achievable.

only the app with pop up functionality can work
samsung should modify it to make it work for just notification instead of pop up

The other day, was charging my Note8 with my wireless charger and saw the reflection of the fluorescent light from above off the screen to have round curves. Looked closer and noticed 2 very small dents on the screen glass. Doesn't looked like crack and definitely did not drop my phone. Anyone else having similar issues?

You are not alone. Mine also have a small "dent", which is located at the very bottom bezel. And I can assure you, that, it's not a screen problem. In fact, the small dent is a defect on the oleophobic coating. From what I read from other forums, it seems that the first batch of Note 8 has issues on its oleophobic coating. Some have small dents, some have weird marks, some surface are not even.

https://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyNote8/commen...coating_defect/


According to tech reviewer Erica Griffin, she did hear some complaints on the internet where some Note 8 have similar issue. She claimed that Gorilla Glass 5 is the one to be blamed on this case.



Mentioned at 3:49


I am sure some users in here would have similar issue on this. But they probably won't notice it at all since it's not easy to spot on.


As for me, it's indeed annoying to look at. And I am a bit disappointed to know that such a silly issue would happened on an expensive premium device. However, since the dent is located at the bottom bezel, plus it's difficult to notice unless there's a light reflection. So I decided to ignore it. Afterall, it doesn't affect my usage at all.

then maybe it won't show like that if the receiver not updated with this functionality yet, i guess

You are not alone. Mine also have a small "dent", which is located at the very bottom bezel. And I can assure you, that, it's not a screen problem. In fact, the small dent is a defect on the oleophobic coating. From what I read from other forums, it seems that the first batch of Note 8 has issues on its oleophobic coating. Some have small dents, some have weird marks, some surface are not even.

https://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyNote8/commen...coating_defect/
According to tech reviewer Erica Griffin, she did hear some complaints on the internet where some Note 8 have similar issue. She claimed that Gorilla Glass 5 is the one to be blamed on this case.



Mentioned at 3:49
I am sure some users in here would have similar issue on this. But they probably won't notice it at all since it's not easy to spot on.
As for me, it's indeed annoying to look at. And I am a bit disappointed to know that such a silly issue would happened on an expensive premium device. However, since the dent is located at the bottom bezel, plus it's difficult to notice unless there's a light reflection. So I decided to ignore it. Afterall, it doesn't affect my usage at all.

If you see the comparison video below, you will knew that iPhone 8 plus's video are warmer in colour. So i am curious to know, is it possible with Samsung to achieve the same with some apps? Or something? I knew this can be corrected with Software.

Just ended my one-month stint with my Note 8. Some thoughts:-

- This was by far the best Samsung device I have ever used, albeit for a very short period. While S8+ was a very, very good phone (I used it prior to changing to the Note 8), the Note 8 is not just a S8+ with a S-pen. The additional 2GB RAM makes everything stutter less and everything was buttery smooth. That with the very good dual lens camera makes the Note 8 a worthy upgrade from the S8+ for the RM300 difference in RRP. The difference in the street price is harder to justify though.

- Although the battery size is slightly smaller than the S8+, the SOT and standby time is pretty similar to the S8+. The infamous Android “battery leak” is less apparent with Android 7.1 and it’s a huge difference from the days of the Note 3 (my last Samsung device that lasted for more than a year). I still had issues every now and then like the battery draining more than 10% at night with max power saving mode on and device being idle through the night, but a device restart fixes the issue.

- I had this problem with the S8 and the S8+, and it carried over to the Note 8. Sometimes my WhatsApp message notifications would be delayed till I on the app. Even with all the tweaks for battery optimization and app permissions that I managed to Google, the issue persists every now and then. It got me into some awkward situations with some colleagues and clients. (Between the S8 and S8+, I used the HTC U11 and did not face this issue)

- The S-Pen is great. Love the text conversion and translation features. If you need to have a device with a stylus, the Note 8 it is (no idea on the Note FE, but I’d imagine it’s equally as good?).

- The Note 8 fully deserves its top scores in dxomark. The camera is excellent. The interface could be a little more simplified but as far as a phone camera goes, this one is right up there with the best.

- I guess I was fortunate but my unit had no defects, not even the infamous light leak. Build quality is very good.

- Did not try the bundled AKG earphones but if it was similar to the S8, then I won’t be missing out. The U11’s is far superior.

All in all, the Note 8 is an excellent device but the retail price of RM 3,999 is hard to swallow considering how fast the value drops. That said, those that bought it with the famous (or infamous, depending on how you see it) Qoo10 coupon should be happy - it’s a great buy!

If your Visa card was previously registered with Samsung Pay on another device, you need to call Maybank to delete the token. Removing the card manually from Samsung Pay in the older device is not enough.

1. our phone is that canggih until it can replicate the magnetic strip of physical cards. hence our samsung pay can work on older terminals. people have been doing this since samsung s6, it's called Magnetic Secure Transmission.

2. if the seller don't know what is samsung pay or don't have pay wave, I'll just ask him to bring over the terminal. then type the amount needed to pay, select VISA (if asked). then i will tap my phone at the place where u swipe the card. it's a little slow, but be patient.

however and has failed to go thru at ONE merchant (coffea coffee sri petaling). so far i use samsung pay MST (NOT Paywave) at all other terminals without fail. mostly at bars, and some older/local hypermarkets .

Read all the post in this thread regarding tempered class and screen protector. Here is a small conclusion:

1) Dont use tempered class on note 8 cause it will spoil the user experience
2) Using cheap tempered class because all tc/SP are the same
3) Whitestone dome user - good review so far but expensive
4) X-one - mix of review - some have screen sensitivity issue, edge lift up
5) HAO - mix of review - dust and sensitivity issue.

If you are using tempered class, please copy/reply this post with your answer and comments on how is your experience so far with the SP in term of sensitivity, dust, and etc and what tempered class you use?

I'm using HAO for past few days.
I don't face any sensitivity issue. It feel absolutely like naked.
No dust issue too since this is full adhesive TG.
I can really recommend anyone this TG for those who looking for high quality TG.
And the service at HAO shop in Cheras also quiet good. Staffs were friendly and you can watch movie or playing PS4 while waiting for them to do the installation.

Using Whitestone Dome.

My experience so far:
The glass :
- Feel so good and slippery when swiping with your finger and S Pen
- It doesn't fully cover the edge of the screen like 2mm there

The installation :
- You will need to be aware that they mention to have additional glue being included so be prepared that it will leak out
when you put down the glass (Seal off some part like headphone hole and speakers)
- Mine lucky as it leaked on the right side below power button there.

The CON :
- For me, due to the glue between the TG and original screen, you might find that dust particar will start collecting around the edges which noticable during under the sunlight or if u r peaky.
- So some cleaning work might need to perform every week for me since i'm a perfectioninst

Overall, I like this TG and still waiting my Spigen Ultra Hybrid S to come
Now using the clear case included inside the package.

1) some how agree but not all, depend on the tempered class that you get
2) not all, depend on the tempered class that you get
4) not agree, depend on individual

one of the point that i raise here is that all the SP/TP for curve screen phone
if your installation not >95% accurately install and case not so compatible with it
then you for sure will complain, sometimes it is not because the SP/TP itself not good or bad

But then most of the famous like spigen and zagg all using side only adhesive
Middle really doesnt provide anything but small gap <--- this lead to sensitive issue

Even ppl installed with 100% accuracy with those guide tools also facing the problem.
With the only side adhesive, the TG tends to pop out easily

i did mention, depend on the TP that you get
i am using side adhesive TP now, it is not branded cheapo TP
i have no touch and spen sensitivity issue because no gap between the TP and screen, no pop up, not conflict with my case, no rainbow problem

installed on 21/10

hopefully it can last me for few months until i found the next one to try, thinking next one to get is the full adhesive TP (not whitestone type)

Believe it or not, Google isn't the only company with issues on its flagship devices. We've been informed that many units of Samsung's Galaxy Note8 are completely freezing when the contacts app is opened, and that includes when other apps like 'Messaging' and 'Phone' use it as well. Basically, these Note8s are refusing to function as phones.
According to replies on a post entitled 'Note 8 Freezing and unresponsive' in Samsung's forums, many variants of the Note8 are having this problem. Most of these reports are occurring when the user is doing something concerning calling and texting, leading us to believe that it's the contacts app that is the culprit. Here's a list of what is causing Note8s to freeze that we've gathered from the forum post and its replies:

Using speed dial
Making calls from the recent calls list and contacts

It's pretty clear from the accounts given that the contacts app has something to do with this. There are one or two cases there that don't fit the bill, but there will always be extraneous data when tracking down bugs like these. When these Note8 devices are freezing, only two things will get them back to normal: force restarts or complete battery drains. Owners have tried clearing cache, uninstalling and reinstalling apps, and even factory resets, but to no avail.

My goodness, that is sadly just horrible knowing. Fortunately my phone is not experiencing those issues. Finger's crossed. In any case, hope Samsung releases an update to fix those issues asap.

Believe it or not, Google isn't the only company with issues on its flagship devices. We've been informed that many units of Samsung's Galaxy Note8 are completely freezing when the contacts app is opened, and that includes when other apps like 'Messaging' and 'Phone' use it as well. Basically, these Note8s are refusing to function as phones.
According to replies on a post entitled 'Note 8 Freezing and unresponsive' in Samsung's forums, many variants of the Note8 are having this problem. Most of these reports are occurring when the user is doing something concerning calling and texting, leading us to believe that it's the contacts app that is the culprit. Here's a list of what is causing Note8s to freeze that we've gathered from the forum post and its replies:

Using speed dial
Making calls from the recent calls list and contacts
Tapping on contacts in the Phone app
Tapping on contacts in the Messages app
Loading an Excel spreadsheet from an email
Opening contacts
Using the contacts list
Using Pokémon GO, Chrome, and the Google app
Tapping a contact in the Messages and Contacts apps

the above issue can be fixed by a software update, not that bad yet
but google pixel is hardware issue, the screen problem can't be fixed by an update

Using Whitestone Dome.

My experience so far:
The glass :
- Feel so good and slippery when swiping with your finger and S Pen
- It doesn't fully cover the edge of the screen like 2mm there

The installation :
- You will need to be aware that they mention to have additional glue being included so be prepared that it will leak out
  when you put down the glass (Seal off some part like headphone hole and speakers)
- Mine lucky as it leaked on the right side below power button there.

The CON :
- For me, due to the glue between the TG and original screen, you might find that dust particar will start collecting around the edges which noticable during under the sunlight or if u r peaky.
- So some cleaning work might need to perform every week for me since i'm a perfectioninst

Overall, I like this TG and still waiting my Spigen Ultra Hybrid S to come
Now using the clear case included inside the package.
*
Great review there. Is it easy to wipe of the excess glue when it leaks out on the headphone hole and speakers etc?
Second, can you help do a second installation? tongue.gif

I didn't use tape to seal those holes before i did the installation but i do aware of the issue

After first curing, take out the phone from the guide box and check any excessive glue outside
Using alcohol wipe can wipe those glue away easily (They give you 3 pack but do prepare own one just in case)

You can do second installation IF you haven't cure the glue using UV light (They give 2 glue)

But some ppl mention they lift up the Tempered glass and clean off those adhesive using oil and alcohol, after that they redo the process and like new one biggrin.gif

there is no such thing. sapphire glass is too brittle to use on a phone but very hard and almost scratchless, near to diamond in term of hardness. A glass is still a glass, even wat silicon oxide coating also will scratch one..

Whitestone Dome TG (this one i think you need to order from Amazon or Ebay & installed yourself) or HAO (shop located at Cheras around Leisure Mall area). This two so far got considerably very good review. Cant go wrong with any of this two.

It is all about costs. I'm sure they can make a strong durable and scratchless glass, but it'll cost so expensive that phone manufacturers wouldnt want to buy it. This is especially true for consumer products.

Hi guys, would like to share my day 1 experience with the Zizo Bolt case as it just came in today after about 3 weeks of waiting. Very satisfied with the overall purchase (USD 44 inclusive of promo code, shipping, tracking & insurance). It came with extra accessories such as a holster that doubles as a front cover too, lanyard that can be attached to the case, and the best item - a tempered glass that actually works.

My daily armor has been the Spigen Air Liquid which is significantly slimmer and lighter hence this is quite a change. Actually planning to use Zizo mostly for traveling (rushing leads to high probability of dropping one's phone).

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


The Good
1. Value for money - came with many goodies!
2. TG was easy to install, fits well with the casing (TG doesn't end up being forced out - was impressed that it even fit with my Spigen Air Liquid), no significant dip in touch sensitivity (not even with the SPEN).
3. Extremely solid build with easy access to the fingerprint scanner (even better than Spigen's cutout).
4. Color range is impressive.
5. Wireless charging works despite the added thickness of the case!
6. Good grip, and satisfactory protection thus far (phone faced down, the screen does not come into contact with the table because of higher corners of the case).
7. An inconspicuous stand which allows landscape viewing.

The Bad
1. Side buttons are not very responsive, you gotta press slightly harder than usual but I'm hoping this will ease in a couple of days.
2. Due to thickness/cutout of case, accessing the SPEN can affect the experience for some users with maybe uhh chubby fingers.
3. Phone can be slightly difficult to remove due to how secure the casing is.
4. Definitely bad match for tight pants/your slim cuts/skinny jeans.

If it really works, then why not? Just as long we are not paying for some overpriced products that dont even live up to its reputation. Seems like whitestone is the only recommended working SP for the note 8 at the moment.

-slide to cold, the color become warmer

As far as comparing screens, you should compare with another Note 8. Your Xiaomi phone can be calibrated more blueish so thats why you see the Note 8 as mroe yellow when maybe it is normal

Mgt also be your screen protector

But never heard of the colour slider peoblem. Sounds weird

As far as comparing screens, you should compare with another Note 8. Your Xiaomi phone can be calibrated more blueish so thats why you see the Note 8 as mroe yellow when maybe it is normal

Mgt also be your screen protector

But never heard of the colour slider peoblem. Sounds weird
*
btw can you help me test on your note 8 color slider from cold to warm and warm to cold. later lunch time ill take some picture and show you.

hey!! just bought a note8 yesterday, i got a question regarding the screen color correction.

-my phone screen already install a hoda 9h screen protector.

not sure why my phone got a yellowish tint to it. i can tell because i put side by side with my xiaomi note phone. i can tell is abit yellowish compare to my xiaomi.

when i on the blue filter. the whole screen get super yellowish orange.
@.@
another thing when i go advance and tweak between cold and warm.
-slide to warm, the color become colder
-slide to cold, the color become warmer

@.@ what is happening. does anyone here encounter the same problem? or is this a problem?

thank you sifu!
*
you screen turn yellowish only after you turn on the blue filter or even before that? As I know it suppose to be like that if you turn on the blue filter on. I only set the blue filter auto on from sunset to sunrise and also during my reading on ebook.

after you turn on the blue light filter, it suppose to become yellowish. The function is to decrease the amount of blue light from the screen.

I've been using note edge phone for 3 years. The touted flagship model of the first edge of 3 years ago.


Frankly.... The first year using is pristine
After the first year warranty over, problems started to crop up slowly.

Trust me I have seen many updates delivered OTA over the years..
But the problems don't seemed to go away or rectified.
Freezing... Lagging... Restarting.... Heat. Signal loss.

This year alone I think there were about 3 to 4 software updates but none rectified the security finger print unlock screen causing phone to restart. And finger print failed thus we need to punch in the password to unlock phone.


At last the Mobo gone king Kong. I even changed a new Mobo at the Samsung service centre.

Currently just after 1 week having installed the new Mobo.
The problem still the same. Restart by its own. Loss of signal totally without warning and knowing. Only when you feel the phone heats up you will know it's signal loss causing it.

I suspect the software was badly written to overcome bugs and other software impurities. I'm really frustrated with it. It's a new Mobo. I don't think it's a faulty Mobo. Most likely the culprit is the software.

The updates did not make rescue the phone or rectify faults at all. I wonder the updates do what actually.

I'm very disappointed actually. Bought the phone at RM 3000 , 3 years ago. Spent RM 1100 on the new Mobo. But the problem persists.

I pre-booked the note FE but on the 25 the last month I turned down to buy. Thus losing my deposit.

I love using s pen. And in my note edge even have an IR blaster . the IR blaster is very useful. Sad that all current Samsung models are without it. One other reason I turned down the FE . And the note 8 is because of this. I hope to see one day Samsung brings back the IR

btw, to add on to this, has anyone here who bought from Qoo10 registered their warranty? I have read previously here that seller would have to register it, is it correct?

lastly, which receipt did you upload, is it the screenshot from Qoo10? I didn't get any receipt when i got the phones.

Great stuff to eanable using dual sim functions together with micro SD card with the hybrid tray. This enchancement come out during the time of the S7 Edge but I was reluctant to try it due to the uglyness of the ribbons sticking out. Might consider purchasing one to try it out with my Note 8.

Great stuff to eanable using dual sim functions together with micro SD card with the hybrid tray. This enchancement come out during the time of the S7 Edge but I was reluctant to try it due to the uglyness of the ribbons sticking out. Might consider purchasing one to try it out with my Note 8.

Heard of a solution to your friends problem before. Just swap his sim card to the second sim card slot. He should be able to use his phone functions like normal. Maxis has blocked his IMEI which is sim card slot 1. Hope this helps. Good luck.

similar thing happened to my mom before. her note 5 was locked by maxis because the previous user did not pay his bills. sent it to a phone repair shop, they repaired it for only rm150. but that price was for note 5, for note 8 might be a little higher. the repair guy said maxis blocked the imei for that phone so he just changed/replaced a new imei no for the phone, no problem ever since

There you go. Short remedy for your friends problem. At least now he can use his phone functions to make/receive calls and data functions.

There is another possible way to permanently overcome this issue if your friends situation. If he is game enough, he can attempt to attach his nano sim to his micro SD card. Just to search on Youtube. There are tutorial demo's showing you step by step. Idemnimity clause, please don't hold me responsible if something goes wrong.

Well, firstly, I think the old Samsung TouchWiz UI before the S6/S6 Edge was full of bloatware and had tendency to lag over time no matter how much RAM you put in the phones. That was why I stopped using Samsung after Note 3. Then I tried the S6 for a while and the Note 5 thereafter, and it was much better and less frustrating. The newer ones especially on the S8/S8+ and even the Note 8 are even smoother. That said, I fully understand your frustration with the Mobo, as I had experienced the same with both my Tab S2 and Note 5, which luckily were both under warranty when it happened. When I was at the Samsung Service Center getting my devices sorted out, I noticed a number of owners there trying to get their Mobo issues sorted out as well, so it could be a design flaw. Anyways, since you cancelled your booking for the FE, what device have you decided to go with next?
*
i just couldnt trust another flagship device
yes..you are right.
the MOBO definately has design flaws and sub standard OTA software updates.

The finger print lock/unlock button to wake-up the phone from standby always causes the phone to freeze and lagging, while it takes time to activate most the time failed and the phone goes into restart mode, thus need to key in password/ pin / pattern etc to unlock the phone.

since i cancelled the FE, I told myself i wont be touching ( for a while) another product from this korean even though how flag ship the phone promised.

Although i have another 2017- A7 which my wife is using. ( though its also have the bugging restart occurs sometimes). She told me that and i saw too the self restarting of the phone (A7)

i m so so... disappointed with this korean phone. I do love my note edge. even MOBO king kong....many ppl said why so foolish to get a new MOBO. I told them.....for another RM 1,100 MOBO change its worth because at RM1,000 now, where can you buy a phone with S-Pen & IR Blaster & Heart Rate Monitor & 16MegaPix camera nowadays

As of now. I m using Honor 8 pro.

Sorry to hear that Samsung brand has let you down. I am no Samsung fan either and we have considered a lot of things when I purchased these phones. let me share you how I got to decide;

First samsung phone we had at home is the galaxy S plus i bought this for my wife and she loved it. The amoled display is just gorgeous. she used it for about a couple of years and during that time she also bought me the Galaxy S3. I too loved it, because of the display and of course, being something recently released at that time, it was 'the' best android phone. So I used my S3 and my wife used her S plus and I could hear here complaning about the phone being slow and unresponsive - due to it aging and her having a lot of things inside it too. then came in the company Oneplus - the flagship killer. I reviewed the specs of the oneplus one and I thought that it is somehow future proof(for a couple of years at least) and considering the price, it was a bargain. During these times when I was considering oneplus one, I have been playing around with our samsung phones. I have tried different attempts to enhance it's performance by installing different ROMs slim ROMs, etc. well it worked however there is always a downside such as the battery does not last that much. or some features will not work. then I just gave up.

So that lead us to buy oneplus one. I thought of getting 2 so if anything goes wrong with my wife's phone or if there is anything she is unsure about her phone then I could quickly respond instead of googling solutions. I have to say, Oneplus One has been a great phone. we had them for 3 years and until now they are still responsive. I liked it a lot. never really thought of switching phones however I thought that I could upgrade now and give the oneplus ones away to our relatives and make someone happy.

Now you may be asking, why I didn't go for Oneplus if the phone is great, right? My guts were telling me to go for it. I could have just bought my wife a note 8 and I go for Oneplus however I thought this would be a good opportunity to try something else. I have always been amazed with the curved screens on samsungs and at the same time, when I was using oneplus one, I have the pen which I use from time to time. Besides the software now has lesser bloatware and closed to the stock android experience. So when I saw the opportunity at Qoo10 and help from fellow forumers, I went for it.

Just sharing. biggrin.gif

after changed a brand new MOBO on 24 october, after few days using felt no more problems cropping up,

sad to say it doesnt help at all and the restarting occured few times.

worse thing the phone signal lost (few times) and phone heats up because of searching to register to telco network.
I saw it with my own eyes . from the signal bar suddenly no more bar.

wasted my rm 1,100 on the new MOBO.

cheers

Thanks for sharing your experience! Yeah, there are plenty of awesome mid-range devices out there these days like the Honor 8 Pro and it’s really unnecessary to buy a flagship phone unless you really want it. I will likely buy and try Samsung again but definitely not at the Recommended Retail Prices, they tend to drop too much too soon. Cheers!

u are welcome.

this korean can build impressive device as their flagship but the (bottom line) software architecture department is really bad.
they build and make the hardware so fast till the softwares not able cope with the device demands.

over the years ,many many OTA updates received but never rectify any disorders, flaws in the system or OS or touchwiz or software for the Note Edge.

Note Edge, i heard ( from the authorised dealer shop) was not in production just after 3 months of launching then. I was at the authorised shop while checking and pre-oreder the FE.
Wanted to trade in my Edge for rm700 (present value).

cheers

I've been using note edge phone for 3 years. The touted flagship model of the first edge of 3 years ago.
Frankly.... The first year using is pristine
After the first year warranty over, problems started to crop up slowly.

Trust me I have seen many updates delivered OTA over the years..
But the problems don't seemed to go away or rectified.
Freezing... Lagging... Restarting.... Heat. Signal loss.

This year alone I think there were about 3 to 4 software updates but none rectified the security finger print unlock screen causing phone to restart. And finger print failed thus we need to punch in the password to unlock phone.
At last the Mobo gone king Kong. I even changed a new Mobo at the Samsung service centre.

Currently just after 1 week having installed the new Mobo.
The problem still the same. Restart by its own. Loss of signal totally without warning and knowing. Only when you feel the phone heats up you will know it's signal loss causing it.

I suspect the software was badly written to overcome bugs and other software impurities. I'm really frustrated with it. It's a new Mobo. I don't think it's a faulty Mobo. Most likely the culprit is the software.

The updates did not make rescue the phone or rectify faults at all. I wonder the updates do what actually.

I'm very disappointed actually. Bought the phone at RM 3000 , 3 years ago. Spent RM 1100 on the new Mobo. But the problem persists.

I pre-booked the note FE but on the 25 the last month I turned down to buy. Thus losing my deposit.

I love using s pen. And in my note edge even have an IR blaster . the IR blaster is very useful. Sad that all current Samsung models are without it. One other reason I turned down the FE . And the note 8 is because of this. I hope to see one day Samsung brings back the IR

Yes, the Note Edge will freeze/reboot/whatever often when using the finger scanner. I suspect it have something to do with the finger scanner.

I have reset my phones may be a dozen times and depending on luck, sometimes the problem is less and sometime more. If u really like to keep your Edge, may be that would be worth a try.

so far, have not experience that with the FE. Touch wood.

thanks for confirming the issue.
i also point the finger at the finger scanner.

there was once i was using the edge magnetic flip cover, which also causing the reboot, and freezing. i suspect that ...and i stopped using it. without it also doesnt help at all.

i have tried many many resets. factory resets....it doesnt really make the problem go away.

i wont (dont think) be using the Edge anymore and i would look for some shop to acquire it when i m free, and it's up to their pleasure to set the price. Doesnt really matter. just want to let it go or just let it be in the desk drawer gathering dust. doesnt really matter to me any longer.

I do know there's a tool to change imei permanantly online back then, not sure still around or not for new hardware. JTAGging the device may work too. Easiest and free to try is by using Xposed mod to spoof IMEI. Haven't tried tho. Worth trying for those affected

I believe that is bank's default limit. Even using Visa payWave with card also default to RM250
What payment method did u use? payWave or MST?

I supposed it should be PIN verified as contactless only able to perform transaction up to RM250. And that we cannot change the limit for contactless right?

usually once u update the tax invoice, within 24 hrs they will inform u ur phone been registered for E warranty via email and sms. i think you should ask, infact u have the right to get the tax invoice from them.

Are you sure? How come A got blacklisted so early? Note 8 just released less than 2 months ago. Telco blacklisted is only after 5 consecutive months of no payment, normal barring after 2 consecutive months of no payment.

Anyone here activated the device security from McAfee? Is it ok to do that ? Will it slow down or cause lag to phone later if not now? Since note 8 still pretty new but I just worried it will cause lag later...

It is definately bloatware for sure hence why I never used it in the first place. Will slow the phone down and why bother paying for it once the trial period end.

If it's free and without subscription then I guess it's alright to have on the phone.
Can it be uninstalled or it's integrated permanently in the phone manager application???

This is what worries me. Lag and reboot / restart.

They built phone so fast with impressive hardware, Mobo and architecture but the software / OS / apps are below par. Which causes the phone acting weirdly.

I understand your predicament. It's annoying to users.

But to do daily erasing of partition cache and reboot are quite time consuming.

I only think if there are any other better ways around.

The designers of the softwares /app need to comprehend with the needs of the end users / consumers. To ensure no hiccups of the integration between hardware and software on this flagship phone.

I hope they do a better job.

It's seem not every note 8 user face this issue n mostly cause by apps installed.
S8 series n note fe came out so far so good.
1 week restart phone 1 time it's the way for Android phones user but not everyday it will cause the battery life n quick annoying too.

Totally agree with wkshai. Once a week restart is good enough to refresh and bring the phone's OS back to optimum performance.

Hi all, I just bought my note8 from Qoo. I plan to get moonstone TG and seems like reviews from youtube stating that it must be perfect install in order to match with Spigen case.

Can you guys recommend me some good case that compatible with moonstone TG which you are using right now?

This is why some people prefer less features but snappier pixel phone. Just like iPhone, without 3rd party apps, the phone has nothing. But it just works as it should be.

IINM, iPhone X gets higher score due to their new A11 Bionic chip, not because of the amount of ram.

Sadly to say that after so many years, Android still got a lot to catch up with IOS in term of processor speed. However, if you don't care about the scores and if you don't do mobile gaming, you won't notice much difference between Note 8 & iPhone X in real life usage.

Sadly to say that after so many years,  Android still got a lot to catch up with IOS in term of processor speed. However, if you don't care about the scores and if you don't do mobile gaming, you won't notice much difference between Note 8 & iPhone X  in real life usage.

agree with you on this. samsung need to catch up on processor game...if they can use the same technology on Note 8..i dont fking care note 8 price will be... i just buy it. LOL

Helo guys. I have installed the temper glass on my Note 8 but the sensitivity is reduced and apparent especially during texting. Is there any temper glass that is better and not costing me a bomb?

Can try this see whether it works.

I saw this on my note edge

Settings/ display and wallpaper / increase touch sensitivity

I never had any TP or SP on before.

Yup. That's why I said higher scores doesn't mean it is the King of all. Somehow iPhone X is slower than Note 8 in certain extent. Most people believe that the newest IOS is the culprit in here. Software and OS optimization is the key in here. Anyway, unless you are a tech reviewer, if not, then don't be bothered too much with the benchmark scores. As long as you are satisfied with the performance, then it's all good.

However, I do feel very good while knowing that Note 8 is beating down iPhone X. thumbup.gif

Is not fair compare iphone with android in speed and processor sometimes,do remember apple are the 1 who is taking of the whole production line which start frm designing the chips and os but android phone did not do that cos there are tons of hardware around for android

Just like samsung or huawei,they designed their own chips but they are not designing the os,compare to apple which the os can be design to maximise the usage of it own chip

Above average. In term of single firing speaker I would say it's quite good and loud. But of course, the sound quality is nowhere near to the dual firing speakers

They can put it at the earpiece. Similar to other brands such as Mi Max 2 & Mate 10's dual speaker. One at the ear piece, another one at the bottom loudspeaker.

However, I don't think Samsung will go for dual speaker, especially for their flagships. Speaker and sound would never be their first priority when it comes to innovation. So far the only Samsung phone that have dual speakers is C9Pro. So yeah. They rather put the dual speakers on midrange phone but not on Note 8/S8/S8+.

It's just a tiny dot on the top side.
If our remotes suddenly not bat power. The phone with IR can still get things done until battery replacement.

That sure is a handy fishing tool. More than a decade ago, I used the same tactic using the IR from the flagship nokia phone (9210) and turned off and on the tv. She thought the place was haunted hence she grab hold of me so tight and sat so close to me I could hardly breathe.

it may be improbable due to the S-pen. In addition, I think they compensated the lack of stereo with the bluetooth v5.0 technology. besides, isn't it audible enough for notification/listening to music or watching short clips? just my opinion though.

using since it was launched december last year.. it's now my daily watch... no issues with the watch so far.. ample of watch faces to download and heard there will be a major update to TIZEN 3.0 soon.. average usage is about 2-3 days before needed to be charged. since it uses wireless charging, it's convenient to charge it but it also means you need to carry the small little charging dock if you will be out of town for more than 3 days..

I also keep looking at suitable flagship phone from various manufacturer. Currently I am using Note 4, which has most of the sensors. There are many occasion that IR sensor does come in handy especially when a remote is missing, low battery level or is not available (e.g.: keep by someone, shop owner etc.). To share my experience, I don't have those "extraordinary" encounter, I just switch to my preferred channel in a coffee shop without anybody knowing!
Miss those missing "sensors".

What other sensors have been removed from Note 8?

yes.....yes...we share the same thing. great!

yes...we can do our own adjusting.

like an instance, was in dining a dinner in a private room. the room Aircond was so cold.
we asked the waiters to bring the remote to turn up the temperature.
call...and...call, to no avail. no one bothered to come adjust.

I brought out my Note Edge. All my colleagues were amazed what IR can do to help in those situation. adjusted to 27C and every one happy.

many there having those prestige Fruity phone and others brands / model but cant even do a thing.
they asked me i use what app to control.

But I told them its not only an app is required / needed but it NEEDs an IR blaster. ( the tiny little dot on the top side of the phone)

there was another time when one shop so kedekut , dowan turn aircon on...i use the IR to remotely turn on. LOL!!


IR is a chick magnet too!!!!! LOL!!!

can chat up with the chicks. done that many timesss..... song ahhh!!!

hey got a question i have been trying to search answer to. the galaxy note 8 say it is IP68 water proof.

What about the sim card slot. how does the sim card slot prevent water from going in? Cause I find that they only have a rubber gasket there to protect. if for someone who always take out the sd card to copy stuff in, the rubber gasket is easily spoil or not in place. what do you guys think?

1 week restart phone 1 time it's the way for Android phones user but not everyday it will cause the battery life n quick annoying too.

yup, not everyone have the same problem
it is depend on the app and setting of individual and maybe luck too

If you see the comparison video below, you will knew that iPhone 8 plus's video are warmer in colour. So i am curious to know, is it possible with Samsung to achieve the same with some apps? Or something? I knew this can be corrected with Software.

So can any apps or anything to make the video capture to appear warmer?

hey got a question i have been trying to search answer to. the galaxy note 8 say it is IP68 water proof.

What about the sim card slot. how does the sim card slot prevent water from going in? Cause I find that  they only have a rubber gasket there to protect. if for someone who always take out the sd card to copy stuff in, the rubber gasket is easily spoil or not in place. what do you guys think?
*
I guess it's all about probability of wear and tear, and a little bit of luck. The more you take it out and put in, the higher chances the rubber gasket will getting spoilt. There's no exact answer for this.

Yes. Me too. Seldom use. One good day I was trying to use it on my new York air-conditioner. It didn't work. Cause I couldn't find the model. Or is it just my problem?

I love my Note 8. The transition between the apps is seamless. (Of course I came from the antique model Note 3) However, I do find that the keyboard for Note 8 need improve. I always get typo errors.

Here's what I did when Samsung recalled the Note 7. I was sad it was gonna leave me because I loved it so much. I brought it swimming. Pool was no more than 1.5meters deep. But I definitely played in the pool for more than an hour (bringing out of and into the water). Came out, first thing that I realised.. Shit..no sound.. Then I thought.. Oh well.. Gonna give it back anyway, not my problem. Went for a shower and saw the speaker holes being covered by water. Blow dry and tadaaaa.. Working like a charm again

im not sure its android flaws..coz ios having same difficulties too.. worse they dont have maintenance except restart phone....maybe its FB, some update doesnt suit the phone or files that inside the phone...maybe..i read few feedbacks from adnroid auth...but, after i manage to do maintenance daily basis..works like charm after that.

then, in the selected choices, it listed down the trade in models with price

Look, since you want me to spell it out for you to show your idiocy, I will.

You in your earlier post stated that the device can be subject to continuous submersion which I then pointed out to Samsung's official advice that it cannot, as per my initial response. That statement of yours is vastly misleading and that's my point.

And when you rebutted, I asked you to define that statement which you, as usual, show your idiotic ways, not even realising the crux of your error and continue to make a fool of yourself. You were earlier chided by another forummer that being a TS, you should know your facts and not make silly observations which will mislead others, especially newbies.

I shan't go any further with you here seeing that you do not admit to mistakes, until you come out with yet another stupid statement which is detrimental to the knowledge of other forummers here.

my staff complain why such an expensive phone also need to do such primitive actions.
can't samseng/google improve the software? it's already version 8.

some more always battery drop at least 5% overnight.

Lol you are talking about 2 different things.

1) As I said, it is an FB app problem. Even for IOS. No matter what machine you are using, no matter what the OS is, if an app or any software is not optimised properly, it will disrupt your machine, even if your smartphone has GTX 1080 TI in it lol. You want to be angry? Go rate the official FB app 1 star on the Google Play Store.

2) Secondly, battery dropping 5% overnight is soooooooooooooooooooooo subjective. It could be affected by so many things. There are people in previous posts, that says their Note 8 standby barely drop 1%. Some say 20%. What does this mean? It means it is SUBJECTIVE to your use. You could have bad phone network in your area, you could have background apps running, so many factors, that eventually leads to you.

Saying you pay so much money for "crap" when the things you mention is not a Note 8 problem is..difficult to understand, to say the least.

just now took up the phone from the table, and immediately it dropped at few cm high above the table

so it hit the table at the bottom edge which is saved by the spigen case's cushion.
then screen face down hit the edge of the laptop, and saved by the tempered glass

checked the tempered glass, no scratch and my 8 is still fine

luckily that did not drop from the higher position

my cheapo TP still serve me well after 17 days

Where'd you get your screen protector? Would it fit the spigen neo hybrid? Currently using the invisible shield from Rearth and its very sticky.

i bought it from my cousin, it is smaller version so have small gap not cover between TP and my rugged clear case

need to align it accurately to make sure that no lift, no middle pop up, no touch sensitively issue
top and bottom adhesive covered by black color, but side edge is transparent so can see the adhesive

my cousin there also have full screen type, but i didn't try because it is not friendly to spigen and most of the other brand case

Here's what I did when Samsung recalled the Note 7. I was sad it was gonna leave me because I loved it so much. I brought it swimming. Pool was no more than 1.5meters deep. But I definitely played in the pool for more than an hour (bringing out of and into the water). Came out, first thing that I realised.. Shit..no sound.. Then I thought.. Oh well.. Gonna give it back anyway, not my problem. Went for a shower and saw the speaker holes being covered by water. Blow dry and tadaaaa.. Working like a charm again

all the 3D tempered glass need perfect installation even the whitestone
whitestone come with installation to help to align perfectly

TP is not flexible, alignment a bit out means gap between it and screen then issues happen
that's why i am always tell others that my cheapo TP need very good alignment to avoid all the common issues

but for sure that there are TPs in the market that even 100% perfect alignment still problematic

i knew people from another forum who bought the full adhesive TP to try and it is working fine for him

if really want a nearly perfect TP, then can go for whitestone and hao
crack one, enough for me to buy few pieces of the cheap TP
i will not go for those expensive solution for now, because we may see improve version of TP in future

not only that bro, becos it is full adhesive, when u put it on, the side will stick first and left u with bubble in the middle. cheap tp still cheap TP, even some they say put inside pocket knock with something then cracked. U can see the review first, all is mixed review, not like 90% ppl say is very good. Since s6 edge there is no TP give u perfect hassle free solution and it's already 2yrs+.

actually consumer can't directly buy from his shop, that's why i didn't share the shop info
no idea that which phone accessories shops take stock from his shop

i install it myself, put the case on to help for alignment, at least i can see the space between 2 sides to know that it is align well or not

hmmm, if more people are interested to get it then i can help to get it from my cousin at once and then meet up at one place to distribute and gathering..
i am actually lazy to travel and distribute multiple times, plus hard to schedule time with people too because i am not a accessory seller like sakuraz so can't station at one place whole day to wait for everyone

i will try to borrow a phone with nice camera to take photo on tomorrow if i remember

After used Note 8 for a month and feel that the curve screen advantage for Note 8 may not be benefit. Reason is when you use S PEN with Smart Select feature and you will hard to crop the area that near to the curve.

What u expect? Actual usable screen is 80%. Photos and videos get distorted at the edge too.

Like most Korean stuff, curve screen seems trendy but really useless in actual use.

agreed, curve screen just for trendy. Anyone disagree?

actually consumer can't directly buy from his shop, that's why i didn't share the shop info
no idea that which phone accessories shops take stock from his shop

i install it myself, put the case on to help for alignment, at least i can see the space between 2 sides to know that it is align well or not

hmmm, if more people are interested to get it then i can help to get it from my cousin at once and then meet up at one place to distribute and gathering..
i am actually lazy to travel and distribute multiple times, plus hard to schedule time with people too because i am not a accessory seller like sakuraz so can't station at one place whole day to wait for everyone

i will try to borrow a phone with nice camera to take photo on tomorrow if i remember

Thanks a lot. If you could share how it looks like then I would really appreciate it. If all goes well and a gathering is set then please sign me up. X2 phones.
