Is Iris scanner less useful for person who are wearing spectacles? Currently i am using finger print scanner and iris scanner and I am only use iris scanner when my finger is wet or wearing gloves but damn my spectacles's light reflection really made unlock with iris hard and I have to remove the spectacles to unlock it most of the time. Not sure is the phone fault or my spectacles's fault here especially when I am using it on daylight or place with a lot of light.

Even I got wear spectacle. Didn't have problem to login using iris scanner. Only problem I found if the room light is off, certainly iris scanner will be useless.

Weird for me then. I have tried few times but I just need to remove my spectacles or in the room without sunlight or reflection to get it work.

I just tried face recognition and it was faster than iris scanner when it comes to unlock the phone. Now i wonder how safe was face recognition and yes I don't have twin.

it means that it can be trick by flat photo
but in note 8, maybe samsung improved it, if you are using normal unlock mode then photo can trick it (means you need to swipe to enter the unlock screen)
but if you are using quick unlock mode, photo can still trick it
*
You sure? So far I didn't found anything about that in youtube.

If you got the video of doing that can you share the link to me? You are now making me nervous like hell. blink.gif

some youtubers were tested and posted in youtube to discuss and explain on the first week after note 8 released to the market
you just go to youtube to search then you can find it
*
I am asking this because the youtube video I had been found so far that note 8 can't be fooled by pictures.

Ok. I will go to ask at other forum on that issue since you can't help me on this.

People, especially other fanboys, keep saying that Samsung Bixby is inferior AI...but it turned out it was pretty competent.

Are we actually making the previous buyers sad, with the discussion we have now? *shy*

Reading you guys about cheap Note 8 made me felt like a garbage now... sad.gif

Also, how many of you guys are using Wireless Charging? If yes, why? Is there any benefit or advantage of using it?

Wireless charging saves on the mechanical stress to your charging port and any accidental drops you may experience while connected during charging.

I have seen people who damaged their charging ports and needed to connect the cable at an awkward angle to get the phone to charge.

At any rate it's not a must have but a convenience.

I am also using magnetic adsorption charging cables in an attempt to completely avoid damage to the charging port.

Hmmm...never thought much about the charging port but you got a valid point. Constant usage of charging port may ruin it.

Another question, whatwill happen if you overcharged (100% battery) your phone with wireless charging?

It stops charging and keeps the phone at 100% overnight. While charging the LED is a steady blue, and it turns green when the phone is fully charged.

So does this means it won't be ruining your battery in long run if you forgot to pick up your phone when it reached 100% for overnight?

If yes, then I can see this is actually a good reason for me to get one.

All the Samsung wireless chargers work on their phones.

In the past I was using the LG-WCP300 with an add on qi receiver for my Note 3 and Note 4.

*
Do you mean that Samsung Wireless Charger works on EVERY SAMSUNG PHONE even it was an old model and rather new J series?

Seriously? I don't know about that man...

Qi is the main wireless charging standard. There was another standard before Qi but I think that one has died out.

There are many Qi based chargers, and Samsung's phones are also based on Qi.

From the S7 onwards, Samsung created their own Wireless Fast Charging standard which is still backwards compatible with Qi.

So you can use any Qi charger with your Samsung, but it will charge much slower.

Thanks for the information. I am glad to hear that.

So all I need to do is just go to Samsung Shop and buy the wireless charger from it and I won't get wrong one, right?

If you're getting from a Samsung store, get the one that at least says Fast Charge.

There are 4 models.

2 flat round disks, 1 fixed angle disk and one variable angle one which is the largest.

The flat round disks are the earlier ones, and the first model DOES NOT have "Fast Charge" printed on it. A later model has "Fast Charge".

The fixed angle disk is the one I'm using, and it says Fast Charge. The variable angle one also says Fast Charge if I'm not mistaken.

Ok. Thanks for the point out. At least I know which and what item I should be looking at now.

I am using that and I am happy with its existence. rclxms.gif

So do iPhone 7,8 and 10 have those secure folder feature or something similar? I am curious.

That is it.

After watching these 2 videos:




I am going back to Fingerprint and Iris Scanner for my Note 8. Goodbye Face Recognition.
