its not supported. Only font from samsung which is limited. but here is workaround.

https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8+...0-root-t3710688

check for option 2. no root needed.

is this true? i read it from xda developers:

"Presumably, Samsung is trying to block all these 3rd-party apps
because they (and/or Monotype) want to make money with the paid fonts."

yup. they block it since nougat update last time. unless you root your device and put it in the system folder.

but that one is using the other way and no root needed. i used it on most of my samsung device.  rclxm9.gif

This step is from XDA developers:

QUOTE
Option 2: Install overlays only (No substratum required)
Instructions:
1. Download & Install SamsungSans from Galaxy Apps ( Required for v1 )

NOUGAT:
2. Download & Install an Nougat overlay apk from XDA DevDB Downloads:
- Wings Community 374 Fonts.apk (v1)
- Wings Community 614 Fonts v2 - NOUGAT.apk
- Wings Apple Emoji iOS11.apk (v1)
- Wings Arabic Fonts Package.apk (v1)
- Wings Google Product Sans.apk (v1)
- Wings Hebrew Fonts Package.apk (v1)
- Wings XDA 968 Fonts.apk (v1)
3. Go to your phone's Settings -> Display -> Screen zoom & font
4. Profit!


After finish with SamsungSans, I downloaded "Wings Community 614 Fonts v2 - NOUGAT.apk"
for step 3, i couldn't find the font in the screen zoom & font. unsure.gif unsure.gif

did i missed something? how to enable this font ya? need file manager or other apps? unsure.gif

did u install the apk? by default u should not be able to install from unsecured sources. you should be getting a prompt to ask u to enable it from settings and choose one time install only.
*

and then.. what next?

It doesn't protect bottom and it only suitable if you like flip while I feel flip is annoying.

I saw clear view flip cover at shah alam,
need to download apk file to enable the display on the cover..

for note FE, no need to install apk.


BTW

can anyone suggest best TG for note 8? bought 3 tempered glass but not really smooth when typing and scrolling sweat.gif

Got the exact same TG today and I am surprised and satisfied. Bought with RM41 from 11street and it is full glue like other big brands like HAO and DOME. no touch problem at all  rclxm9.gif

But I think it is price error from the seller as I see he sells RM99 at shopee and lelong.  cry.gif
But I lucky got it as reduced price  whistling.gif 

and also it is case-friendly. Fit into my Spigen rugged armor

is this the link that you bought your TG? smile.gif

http://www.11street.my/productdetail/cyclo...-glass-51698826

and can you confirm this? I saw this comment under the reviews & feedback section


QUOTE
It not as good as advertised.

1. the protector is slightly warped,causing the corners to be not sensitive.
2. Smears, smears, smears, it actually attracts them.
3.the adhesion is only on the borders. As mine is slightly warped, it doesnt stick all the way, with the centre having that kind of touch/no touch rainbow colour.
Basically a piece of plastic with glue on the sides.

i do really hope that phone makers might want to reconsider put functionality over beauty

curve screen - really give trouble in terms of looking for suitable SP/TG, case friendly, and it prone to crack if fell down on hard surface. mega_shok.gif

infinity screen - hard to grip especially when watching video Lol tongue.gif

glass back body - easy to crack / not a good material to transfer the heat sad.gif

thin / slim frame - need to sacrifice battery size, phone jack. bye.gif


love my note 8 to the fullest, but just sharing my thought and experience icon_rolleyes.gif

i mean have you check the game launcher folder? my digi app auto moved into game launcher

try this: in game launcher menu, settings, turn off "hide games on Home and Apps"

it probably not because of game launcher problem, but no harm to try it
*
is that means, samsung detect some apps as a 'game'?

If connected with WiFi or Bluetooth about 1 day and next day before 5pm died for the watch

If not connected this the battery life
[attachmentid=9575774]

I remove the watch during sleep because I get rashes because of the rubber band.

If connected to Bluetooth note 8 can  last. 6hours to 8 hours on mobile data

wooww..
very nice wor for the battery life.
why you got only one mode for power saving?

mine got 2 mode: mid and max hmm.gif

Different users usage and result might vary but here's mine :-
- s3 battery life if connected to phone through Bluetooth during working hours can get 2 full days and then some. But I always charge after 2 days cause the 3rd day it will die halfway. Probably can get a bit more if heart rate monitor is set at interval instead of continuous but from my usage, either way I won't get full 3rd day. Unless you don't connect to phone then can get 3 days. I only connect using Bluetooth. Wi-fi connect off. But battery since the latest Tizen 3.0 is a bit unpredictable.
- notifications almost immediately but keep in mind for WhatsApp you can only read the last message of a chat. Lol. If someone sends you a string of chat and ended it with 'haha' then you can only see 'haha'.
- battery consumption for note 8 so far is ok. Standby drains just a bit more compared to when it's not connected but I still can get through the day without problem.
- samsung store for peace of mind. Online might get cheaper.
- not really tip but voice command / recognition of Tizen can be frustrating at times. No way near as good as Google so asking it to call someone with local sounding name can be annoying.
Too long already. Lol.

Thank you for the very informative input
for the notification, same goes to apple watch (used to own one before sell it)
if got 2,3 string whatsapp msg, you cant even read them with glance method. need to click / open in handphone sweat.gif
