Note 8 Bend Out of the box ? - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

Hi,
Yesterday i have received my galaxy note 8, loved it, but i have a small issue (or not?)
I spotted that the bixby button and the volume button is not perfectly alligned. This seems really strange and made me think is my device is bend?
Can you help me by taking a look to this in your devices ?

mine seems to be fine thats weird maybe a manufacturing issue?

Mine also look aligned.

Can you post some photos of your phone?

No such problems here. If you feel you have an issue you MUST go to your outlet and discuss this with them. Let us know how you get on.

Just had a quick look. Mine are fine.

Galaxy Note 2 - keyboard / keyboard case?

Does anyone know of a keyboard / keyboard case for the Galaxy Note 2?
There are some nice ones available for the Note 10.1 and I think there were some for the Note 1....I know it would be small, but just for typing bigger docs one would be useful......a Google search does not reveal much?
Cheers everyone.

Not sure about a specific keyboard and case for the Note 2 specifically, but check out this Coldfustion vid on the keyboard he uses for the Note 1. I want one.....
I can't post links, so search on YouTube for a vid by Coldfustion and this: Using The Galaxy Note As A Computer

Go look for the Rii Touch 330. I just ordered one via Amazon. It's quite an amazing little fella...
I'm curious about this as well. The only thing keeping me from upgrading to this device is the lack of a physical qwerty. I see there are a TON of iPhone slideout cases, any chance the Note II gets one? And I'm not talking the clamshell like ones, I want an exposed screen with a slideout keyboard. Just praying one comes out.
Anyone find something? I am holding out on buying the phone only because I need to find a very good physical keyboard solution, ideally slider, but even a good keyboard case.
i wished i had one for my s2, and id love one for my note 2
+1
+1
want one too but a sleek one. portrait slider woukd be interesting as an option. I have seen some neat ones for iPhone 4.
remaining slim is important on a large device..
that woukd be for every moment typing.
if it also had a stand it would be interesting.
AND a nice full size foldable/slidable set for roaming productivity would be great.
what I do hope is not to see any huge cases like seen on alibaba for the note 1...pretty pointless.. then a separate foldable like the old nokia su w8 or freedom or maybe a flex keys butbfoldable would be a good companion
Hoping to hear about something like this...
iKross foldable keyboard looks awesome, but I'm looking for something that I can use in subway. Can't find any good keyboard cases for Note II...

Seems like it would need to be wider in order to hold it effectively as a single unit, but if this is some real solution that exists now, I would buy it!

Check this out and if you buy, please let me know.

Pre-Installed Apps on Xiaomi Mi5 inlcude Facebook?

What apps come pre-installed on Xiaomi Mi5? Is Facebook Pre-Installed on it? The less pre-installed apps the better
It has very few, and the ones that are installed can be uninstalled without any hassle. ?

Speaker volume is loud. My reception for 4G is better than my s6 was (my area is band 3) and WiFi is perfect. What I have been very impressed with is call clarity. It's way way better than the s6, I am honestly blown away with the call clarity.
The one thing that has bothered me about Xiaomi devices is the build quality. Yes, it is an amazing phone, but, like my Mi4 wherever I turn off the screen it has a slight flash of color, guessing it has something to do with the way they make their screens. Messes with my OCD, is it a big deal, no. Also, if you press on the front glass slightly above the home button it touches the screen and warps the image. Maybe just my phone, who knows. The power button jiggles a little bit, not a big deal. Right now my biggest problem is I pop my SIM in and it doesn't pickup my network. ?
Mine picks.up my sim fine. Just tried pressing above home button and don't see.anything. To be honest I can't fault the build quality.

Sounds like one would have to make sure everything works fine before leaving a retail shop. Either exchange it or return it to make sure everything works the way it is supposed to be. The Chinese often focus on QC after they look at their returns. If they know something is wrong but returns are low the they will view it as acceptable by end users so if it is bad it should be returned. If not many people complain about same issue it will never be addressed.
Eh, I imported mine to the US I doubt there is any chance of any support other then on these forums x'D

Digitizer issue?

Hey guys, so I've just recently gotten a Note 5 (W8) for pretty cheap. At first, the lack of expandable memory was really hard to handle, because I'm used to backing up everything daily. However, I've come to like the phone, because I really missed Samsung and all it's awesome features.
I purchased the phone with the caveat that it didn't respond to touch, and I was pleasantly surprised when it arrived and I saw that only a small portion of the screen was affected. Basically from a little above the dock area and below. The home, back, and recent buttons aren't affected, and I'm able to use the S-Pen on the area that doesn't respond to touches.
Before I bought the phone, I read online that the issue may be related to a bad digitizer or maybe the touch software just needed to be updated through the dialer. Well, I've completed the touch update several times and the issue still persists, so now I'm at the point where I think that this might be hardware related and I just wanted to get some opinions and expertise from you guys.

I wish mine was like that, it's perfect except for that one issue. At first, I was going to attempt opening the phone and swapping out the digitizer, but after watching a few videos on the dismantle, I've decided I'm not brave enough for that. It's on the same level as opening up an S8 or a Note 8. I miss the days of the removable battery.

Camera zoom issue. Anyone else?

So if I zoom in my phone will vibrate and the image is extremely blurry. It seems to be a known issue as Samsung forums are filled with threads about it but no solution except send for service. The problem reoccurs after service, cam module replacement, so seems like a software issue. Very unacceptable. Any fixes? Anyone else dealing with this?
Same problem here. Search the forum. There's already a big thread about it.
/CK
Same issue here, wobbly picture as soon as the x2 zoom camera is used.
It started 2 or 3 months ago (I bought my note 9 in December, 512GB European model)
If I focus on an object a foot or two from the camera it stops wobbling for a few seconds which allows me to take a shot quickly... The "live focus" mode doesn't work either (it uses the zoom camera for the effect)
I've also read that getting the camera replaced didn't help, but I wonder if these are real stories or just a rumour.
In any case, like many people I'm waiting a bit longer to see if Samsung publicly acknowledges the problem before getting it replaced under warranty.

The problems been around since last year. The Samsung members forum is full of these complaints. I doubt they'll make anything official now that we're getting closer to the note 10 release. I just decided to skip out on the next note

Ring Samsung and get it fixed via warranty ? As thats a manufacturing defect, if my Note had a issue like yours i would get Samsung to fix it.. if they dont fix it, i would get it replaced with a brand new Note-9 from Samsung. That's what warranty is for!
I have this problem also, i have no problem when using the google camera app zoom so i will stick with it it's even better than the stock Samsung camera app.

Had this.. fixed in samsung service...since im rooted price was around 110 euro..
Same issue
Yeah same issue here. The camera itself seems to be vibrating and making a noise like it's struggling to focus. I had the device replaced and the camera worked for 4 months and started to play up again. Honestly happened with my Note 4 as well, although the Note 4 could be slapped out of it at least. Very frustrating.
When I upgraded to android 10 my vibration camera problem disappeared.

thats true, but i have guy "inside" after all im in Croatia where bribe and corruption is top for doing business
I never notice any camera zoom issues with my N960N, when I was using it running android pie. I haven't tested it running on android 10 as I have managed to fix my N950N. As my N960N is now a backup device, which I backup my N950N to frequently.

[Fixed] Touchscreen and scrolling issue S20 FE 5G

Hello there (General Kenobi)
Just got my brand new Galaxy S20 FE 5G a few days ago but I'm experiencing the touch screen issue. My phone is up to date but I still have the problem. When I have to scroll, the screen doesn't respond at all or thinks it's a tap on the screen and it suddenly goes crazy.
It does only occur on the bottom part of the screen after I unlock my phone from a long period of non use.
I contacted Samsung and they told me to get it to a repair center. But I don't know if this will work and I'm a bit scared that getting it to the center would make things worse.
I saw that Samsung already rolled 3 updates out to fix this problem but I'm still not sure if it is a hardware or a software problem.
Did you guys face this issue? Do you think it is a hardware problem and I should repair it?
It is a good phone and after having left the Pixels because of hardware problem I'm annoyed
*WELL hello there
I get the occasional unwanted zoom in a browser or failure to respond to touch, what you're describing sounds worse than the multitouch issue others have been reporting.
I'd give serious consideration to returning that phone for a replacement or refund. the current reckoning around here seems to be that this phone got a digitizer from a cheaper price range compared to other S20s. what you describe sounds like a faulty digitizer.
is putting up with it for a couple of years not going to bug the crap out of you ?
if they offer only to repair it, accept only a new screen / digitizer / glass swap out.

About the famous multi-touch problem I have to admit that I tried to reproduce it but it only appeared when I was using 5 fingers (instead of 2 in the videos I saw)
I think you're right and I should get it repaired. And I'll see after that if the problem is still here I'll ask for a replacement. I will post an update as soon as I get it back
Thank you!
If you don't mind, could you let us know your phone's hardware revision number? An app called Phone Info *SAM* can show it. People would be interested to know if Samsung has made any hardware changes to the FE line.
Okay guys I'm sorry I couldn't reply before. I had to sent my phone for a repair THREE TIMES ! The first time they didn't do anything but damaged the back of my phone (replacing the screen and the battery) and the problem was still here. The second time they sent my phone back with the battery literally filled (the back of the phone was also damaged due to the battery that had filled).
I got my phone back on last Friday. Seems to be OK. They told me they couldn't reproduce the problem. They just repaired what they did wrong but didn't seem to do anything with the touchscreen.
The phone looks OK. After 1 day of use, the touchscreen seems to be OK but I would like to wait a bit before adding [FIXED] to the title of the topic
Does anyone know if the 2021 version of FE the 4G Snapdragon (g780g I think) has the same problems with ghost touches and jittery scrolling? Can't find info on that anywhere. Deciding between the FE and 8T, but the risk of bad touchscreen is driving me away from it although it's better phone.

I'm sorry I couldn't tell you. I bought my phone around February and it has the problem. This is the 5G variant with Snapdragon 865. I didn't even know there was a 4G variant with Snapdragon (in France, it's either 4G/Exynos or 5G/Snapdragon).
The phone is great though and now my problem seems to be fixed I'm keeping my S20FE over the Pixel 5 even though I'm a Pixel fan.

actually it looks like that's the only issue he didn't have.
That all sounds like an Exynoss version He might be wrong, maybe it is Exy?
Haha I don't feel concerned about the problems that he had because coming from a Pixel 5 some of the problems he had was worse on the P5 (reception, sound quality and the fact that the device can get warm)
