What means this symbol?

Hi there,
i just got my new Note 8. I installed Nova Launcher because i use it for several years.
I discovered a symbol in the status bar that i cannot sort out.
Does anyone have an idea what it is for?
Thank you for any advice and best regards,
Frank

That symbol means that you have data saver turned on. You can disable it in Settings->Connections->Data Usage->Data Saver

Need help with hardbricking note 8

I need to hardbrick note 8 due to increasing screen flickering after small damage. When the screen is off the damage is not visible(it was small push on the edge), so killing the phone completely would give me a chance for free repair/exchange. I tried to flash wrong rom with Odin, it is not working, fails every time. It fails via TWRP as well. The only thing was close to bricking is installing wrong recovery with twrp but this just leads to boot loop with red warning on top. It look like it is not possible to hardbrick this "tank" At least it is not as easy as it seems
It has TWRP and SuperSU (had magisk before)

But is it fair to charge 400 EUR for repairing a flimsy screen?
One dishonest eBay seller was late with his phone case delivery and there were no cases at the time in the shops, so I had to go on holiday without a case
Multibillion corp won't loose much, they should invest in building failproof screens instead of milking old dodgy industrial strategy of build-in obsolescence

I always say to myself, when I go to meet my maker, my conscience will be clear - when telling cashier's they gave me the wrong change, etc. - same thing here. Using someone else's dishonesty or greed as an excuse - doesn't work - for me, anyway. There are many services that will replace screens - maybe you'll find one for less. No insurance in the phone?

1. You missed the bit about build-in obsolescence.
2. I can change the screen my self however the screen assembly is 300 Euro, so not that much better
3. If you can not help please stop discouraging others

It's not about whether Samsung will ne hurt by you defrauding them, it's about how much is your integrity worth?
You are part of the generation thst accepts no responsibility. You have an attitude of entitlement. It's not YOUR fault you damaged your screen. It's the fault of an eBay seller because you didn't order your case in time. It's not YOUR fault you damaged your screen, its Samsung's fault for making a flimsy screen.
So because you damaged your screen, you want to defraud Samsung.
That is dishonest and you will receive no help here.

Who said you weren't allowed to throw your phone out the window? And how exactly does delaying an upgrade to the OS make them more money?

you dont even need a phone to use oreo,so throw it out a window and then:

OP if you do throw your phone out of a Window make sure it's atleast 2 stories up. Also record and posted here for us. Samsung known for being lazy with updates.

Of course s7 and s8 already updating to oreo, they are 2 and 1 year old devices!

Make sure that you throw the phone naked. Better if you throw it across a concrete floor. Will make Oreos ooze out quickly .
2$ a pack of decent size Oreo pack. 1200 will generate roughly 500 packs.

Cheers.

Buy pixels and nexus type devices if you want timely updates.

O yeah. That sounds like more fun. Hopefully we see the pics once OP shares of this

Not for nothing but if OS updates were that important for you maybe the Pixel series would have suited you best? Yeah, it sucks users can't have everything they want/need but that's the mobile world we're living in. Samsung delivers the awesome, top of the line hardware but when it comes to OS updates we're left at the mercy of the OEM and carriers. With Google, you get some decent hardware but the OS updates are on point. Typically. Such is life.

My phone's running Oreo ?

There is no point to this thread. Closed

Is there a technical reason why dual-camera phones can't take photos or videos in 3D?

The thought just struck me. If we have 2 cameras, surely we should be able to capture video or take photos in 3D? At least through fancy software magic? Obviously we couldn't play back 3D on our phone displays, but I'd love to take 3D video and save it as an SBS (side-by-side) format for playback on my 3D TV. I'm not expecting this to actually be a reality, but would it be possibly in THEORY?

I did think of that, but even thought the images wouldn't be exactly identical, the normal lens could match up with the telephoto lens digitally, and still theoretically produce the "same" image.

This option will be coming to the Galaxy S10 and Note 10 next year... You will be able to make 3D photos and videos content similar to Nintendo 3DS. Not sure if it will be available on Note 9 but I know it will definitely be there in 2019.

How would you know what will be in the Note 10 when the Note 9 isn't even out?

Bluetooth volume bug

Has anybody noticed if they are listening to music through Bluetooth and get a phone call, then answer it, when you hang up the music comes back on with the volume turned up to 100%? Ugh! Anyone have any ideas?

Well, no, my phone does not behave like you say, it manages independiently the volume levels for calls and media
