My note 7 always worked when I was wearing my prescription sunglasses but not at all with my note 8. whats up with this?
Doesn't work with my regular glasses either...I think it's due to the coatings, anti-glare, computer, etc...its a bummer.
I think there's a software glitch or something. I rescanned my irisis and it was unlocking fine with my regular glasses on... But as soon as I turned on the setting where you don't have to swipe the screen for it to scan your eyes well it quit detecting my eyes with glasses on.
Mine works fine through seeing glasses, contacts, polarized shades.
Try setting your iris unlock up in the dark.

Glare is actually what prevents it from working with glasses. Anti-glare would essentially be a better situation over not having it

Well this makes me wonder if there's something wrong with my iris scanner.
Hmm. Well I made my room totally dark and now it's suddenly working with both my regular glasses and prescription sunglasses...
Mine is not working with glasses no matter what I do

Check the infra-red LED on the front.
Turn lights off, get another phone with a camera, start camera, point camera at top of Note 8, see if there is a blue (infra-red light) from the top of the phone. Look through the other phones screen obviously.
Wait, so let me get this straight.....
You're trying to do something you're not supposed to be able to do, or are advised not to do, and wondering if something is wrong with your phone because it actually isn't doing It? ?

No not getting any light.. Only getting red light during dark when trying to unlock.. Nothing else

It's pretty cool when your in bed falling asleep but for every 10 tries I get it to turn on once is there something I'm doing wrong it's flat on my table and I'm waving in front of the sensor but it rarely works?
Probably your lighting

Don't wave just use your hand to cover the sensors for a second or 2.
As the previous post suggests lighting is also important.

Don't think lighting does matter. It works in the dark for me.
Many times my phone doesn't wake up when I pick it up. My old moto x was almost too sensitive at times... Which I prefer at this point.
Any suggestions?
Are you using a screen protector? Mine became 10 times more reliable when I binned my glass screen protector.

I understand that the motox uses an array of proximity sensors.
The Nexus 6 uses its accelerometer. I.e., it detects actual motion rather than presence.
Completely agree. A lot of times when I remove my phone from my pocket, ambient display does not wake my screen.

Like i said it is tight i modified mine the side of the vr that has the usb. The claml i cut the bottom of that clamp off. When u put ure g4 in without the back on the front is still a little tight. If u carefully cut that piece of its a lot better. Also do not damage the usb conector it hold the phone in too tried it without the connector in it also and the phone is really loose

I put some up on the g4 general thread if u need more i can but its pretty straight foward of coarse be careful if u dont. Notch the usb clamp side its really tight. And i did mine i didnt want to crack my screen or damage the port.
I did modifie mine. I got mine for 30 buck US. So i wasnt scared to do a cut
I tried my G4 with oneplus loop VR. But i noticed a fine mesh over the screen even on 1080p videos. Then i started noticing the mesh even without VR more so on the white background. It is also visible when screen is off and light is shone on it at certain angle. There is some fine mesh like matrix on screen ruining the whole experience of VR. Anyone else experience the same?

It kills the whole point of quad hd display, very severe flaw. I don't what the engineers at LG were thinking!!
I try not to think about whats up with lg. The g4 and looks like the g5 are both going to be complete failures. It makes me pretty mad 600 bucks for a phone and its about a piece of junk
Did you turn off "game optimizer" in "battery and power saving" ?
I believe that setting drops the resolution to 1080p when running games which will cause pixellation in VR.
I haven't used a Gear VR but i have used other VR Headsets.

this make no sense,note 4 had it and note 8 doesnt,im from nyc,and its cold im on gloves and this feature didnt need to be taken out
1000 usd phone and doesn't have that feature.smh
can a op and developer make a zip or some way to get it on the note 8?
different type of touch sensor. note4 was pressure sensitive i believe(i COULD be wrong here). N8 isnt.
The note 8 is capacitive not resistive. And I would certainly hope so for $1000
Just buy gloves with screen touch fingertips

So if note 8 isn't pressure sensitive then how does the press harder on home onscreen button work ?

There is a pressure sensor only where the home button used to be. Not the entire screen. The touch tech is still capacitive.

Exactly, I was using mine with the little touch sensitive gloves a week or so ago. The setting is gone, because I think it just picks them up automatically. But you have to use the specific gloves (I am not sure honestly what makes them different).

What exactly is hard to understand about capacitive technology? It has nothing to do with pressure. Therefore there is no function to enable. I am surprised that anybody nowadays would buy a flagship and think they even still use resistive. If you didnt understand the tech you where buying, thats your own problem. You cant fault Samsung.

Yeah the folks that think the screen is resistive are talking out the side of their necks.
The pressure sensitivity of the home button is localized to that location. If you don't believe it check the diagnostic test screen, it has a pressure test and the only part of the screen where it registers is the home button.
The only other pressure is from the pen to the Wacom digitizer..

Well, I think that the OP is talking about a feature that past galaxy notes had, there was a setting to increase screen sensitivity for very cold or wet situations, but now, I think that the tech evolved in a way that such setting is unnecesary now
I think the reason why they removed it is not perfect. You know samsung... If they can't perfect it then they just remove it. The feature is a part of the floating touch technology of capacitive touch screens. But the problem is it fails most of the time when used.

I just noticed there is a lot of dust particles in the wide angle camera lens. It was not there before and this much dust is accumulated inside just in 5 days of usage. The main camera unit is dust free though.
Please share if anyone is having same issue. Other wise its a device specific issue.
No dust here
Yes even I have this issue with my device. Within 5-6 days of usage there is dust in the wide angle camera lens. Main camera is clean but there is lots of dust in the wide angle lens.

It might be, the only way to clear it will be to remove the back panel and clean it. I think i might apply for a replacement. Only one person mentioned this issue so this might be device specific.
I got water vapour in my lens both
It was my mistake as well, i had kept my phone in my rain jacket pocket and it was raining a lot. Although the phone was under zipper pocket the condensation of water vapour is visible under the lens. I know this phone is not water proof however Asus could have done a better job at least to seal the camera lens.

I just taped the vent the day I received the phone because the vent doesn't do much cooling at all. Been using it all day for past 9 days, travelling outside in a very dusty City and not even a particle of dust visible anywhere.

Just used transparent tape. A rectangular piece in the right size such that the Aero case which they've given exactly covers both of the sides of the tape. Basically unnoticeable.

My phone went through a tough time because of rain. The power button was misbehaving, I guess there was some moisture in there as well. I thought that it was the end for my ROG phone just after 7 days of purchase. However in after 3 dry days, everything is normal once again. I guess I was lucky. The condensation has gone away completely. I do not have any spec pf dust in my camera under the glass. The power button is working good once again :good:

I just received the replacement. If this also acquires dust i will update the post after a few days of use ( i also have taped the orange accented back opening just to be safe ). As for the red tint, its still there but much less as compared to my previous device, so this confirms this is a panel behavior, which means if you are planning to replace the device it might be good or bad ie the new device might have less tint or more tint.

I doubt it's panel behaviour. Since I did more test and for me i suspect it's software behaviour, because white theme gives 0 red tint.
Only on grey scale red tint shows more.

That is the actual issue. Irrespective of any theme or skin. Any dark grey turns reddish on low brightness and high refresh rate. Any other color is unaffected, so why would white turn red?
