The Galaxy Note 8 (2017 edition)

[Teo Ming Ern]

If so , what ampere/power ratings of cable should i go for?

Sent from Samsung SM-N950F using GAGT

Look for as high rating as possible... for example cables that support 5A charging. Also you must be prepared to pay for good quality cables. I use flat Remax cables that retail for about $8 and says it supports 2.4A charging... I use Type-C for my Note 8... works well enough... or just buy the original Samsung cable lor...

If you can see "fast charging" when cable plugged in using the samsung charger, that means it is a good cable.

another suggestion is to get mobile battery banks that can charge QC3 or PD and comes with usb-c cable. the usb-c cable can definitely charge with high amperes aka at fast speed.

Try search for 1st shop in q10. They got sell usb c cable 1.5m in twin pack. Less than $20 with delivery. Bought it and confirm can fast charge. Packaging seems authentic samsung.

Just dropped my note 8 and cracked the front screen.

Should I repair it? My contract is up soon, planning to change to note 10.

If not, how can I prevent the small bits of glass from dropping out?

 

[slang]

Anyone got similar issues w facebook video?
It has been ongoing for a long time even after updates n reinstalling of fb.

The video will play for 2 secs and skipped to other video.

Any solution to this?

I don’t think it worths the money to repair the screen as the cost is high

Oh well... Normally I drop, no crack or damage. Even drop in bus and roll a few meters, no damage. Using spigen case and no screen protector. Think the concrete floor too power.

First time in my life I crack my phone screen.

Wanted to trade in for note 10. Don't think can trade in liao

Same here. Dropped a few times. Still sturdy

That's why I thought but material engineers say there will still be microscopic crack that you can't see.

So better be careful and don't drop anymore. The next drop might break it.

last Saturday saw trade in promo for S10e at plaza Sin, note8 can be $360+$200 extra if you buy s10e. got my note 8 check and they found tiny scratches on the screen, thus gave 65% of the $360, plus 200, total $434. I guess for them cracked screen will be same as screen with scratches?
