anyone have any experience with fake note 8's?
There is a app called Samsung phone info that would confirm that your phone is legit. If it's s refurbished phone.
All though the clone they can be tricky but I heard the spend is a dead give way. I only buy phones from a trustworthy store I would never buy a used phone unless I just wanted it for parts
You can do a search in youtube, there are many videos reviewing/comparing clones, fakes, knock offs, etc. , do you suspect your device is not genuine?
Test the following
*#0*#
Fingerprint and Iris
Download mode
Recovery mode
Samsung clones are pretty obvious, very easy to tell the difference, even down to the box. Check YouTube, videos of clones are always posted for all popular model Samsung phones.
Oh cmon!
If you can`t spot a fake Note 8 then you shouldn`t be on a developers site!
Only the non-technically-minded, older people (maybe) and just the plain thick would be duped.

He just asking a question. I really not sure why he is asking maybe he was looking at one used and don't want cheated wants to know what to look for. There are games everywhere. You got to know what to look for. If he never seen a note 8 in person I can see one getting fooled

Obviously the clones have been getting better over time, my question was geared towards people that have seen a clone in person, I haven't seen either so I wanted to be cautious since my primary market is the used cell phone one

This is the exact reason I posted the question, I usually buy used and didn't want to get scammed since I haven't seen a real note 8 in person

Right about what? So, you think of you as a teenager or tech savvy , the only types that can perfectly identify a clone device? Then clearly you must be a teen, and obviosly have not seen as much in this world, as other "older" or non tech savvy have
How to tell if it is a clone!!!
Look at sim tray. If not flush, beware. Next go to recovery. If you see fast boot hand it back. Also look for build number and tap to see if you see USB debugging in dev options. Just my 2 cents.

Hello everyone, I just got a tilt by AT&T and found this forum while searching for ways to improve/add missing features. I have not worked with this type of software before but hope to learn a lot (likely at the cost of some frustration). Any recommendations on how or what you have done to improve the phone? Thanks,

Just take out some time from your daily life and search Do not ask a question unless you're certain it hasn't been asked before. You'll be shun upon. I'm just saying take some time, search, and you'll be a pro soon enough.
thanks for the heads up. the search for improvement has begun, and will likely go on indefinitely.

very sad to see so many people talking s**t about the note 4.
It might not be a huge difference from note 3 but is definitely a big upgrade from my note 2.
I think everyone expect to have extreme changes in the devices every year and that is not possible anymore.
I think now the upgrade should be every 2 years.

Someone told me that if you get the TMO version it won't have a locked bootloader, and can be usedon ATT. I'm not sure if this is true, but considering going that route.

Verizon :/ I really am getting tired of it from them tbh. I buy the phone, why should they lock the bootloader. (Yes, I know there are reasons, but still) they are not leasing the phone to me, You buy the device and use it on their network.I am paying for a service. That's just how I look at it.

I sure understand that thought. But I also understand the carriers not wanting to warranty phones that we hose trying to mess with them.
It's probably too much effort to position themselves to offer an unlock code for the bootloader, which would cost 'loss of warranty'. If they don't have to warranty them, then why should they care?

probably because so many people lie when they call for warranty service, saying they dont know why their phone suddenly "stopped" working..
Now, what could be done, is to sell an unlocked phone/boot loader, NO WARRANTY AT ALL, and see how many folks buy that model...
Not many I bet..

I can't agree more.
Most of the people are like, Exynos is crap or useless, and when asked a question about why, they don't have any answer except for saying that overheats, seriously? My Exynos note 2 never went over 45°C even after 3 hours of asphalt 8. How is their snapdragon? 0°C much?
There is a special thread dedicated to being disappointed by note 4, Because some people just want to act smart and have more threads to their name, like it gonna give them some of the recognized status without giving anything to the community.
I just want to really give a bad mouth to some of the people making those useless thread, but then, courtesy and kindness to everyone, can't really do much about it.
Some of the people aren't even using a Samsung device and come to the forums to just abuse that device.
Well, to all the haters saying bloated Touchwiz, how is your battery backup? Enjoying 3-4 hours SoT with less than a day's usage?

http://www.how-to-root.club/mp3-0/motorola-droid-turbo-6727.html
I wouldn't touch it man. It's even more sketchy that there is a 5.0 rom underneath it when our device doesn't have one. I think this may be labeled turbo but intended for the international version. I'm no dev, but I would not touch this until someone tears apart the apk and gives the green light that it's not bs.
Yea, thats what I was afraid of. Thanks for responding.

WOW this makes me so mad. This is why I walked away from XDA years ago when I made ROMs for eris,razer and other phones. There is users out there that still try to rip off the only ones willing to help you unlock or root your phone. WOW "I saved $20.0 " man oh man.
