The Galaxy Note 8 (2017 edition)

[Teo Ming Ern]

Any trust worthy place to change the battery? Thanks a lot

I use iRepair a lot... they're good and reliable. But you'll lose the water-proofing. If you go back to Samsung, you'll retain the water-proofing.

Anyone got spolit note 8 pls PM me with your price, I just need the screen actually, not working set is fine

Just get a shop to replace it... I use iRepair... better than to get an aged screen whose condition you have no idea about...

I owned galaxy note 8 before. Can only say its disappointing.

Why? The phone has been most reliable so far... love the S Pen feature for my work... only dislike the price...

Wanna ask your guys opinion. I have already changed to use s10+, but my current note 8, I'm using to read books and play games. But because I used Waze Pro long period, the screen suffer from burn in. What can be done to heal this burn in? Or better to change the screen?

I ask irepair, and they quoted me about 340... A bit too expensive for me.

Not worth repairing the amoled panel. 340 can buy a pre owned set.

This shop does it for 219$. To avoid burn in buy a phone with a plain lcd display and not an oled.

This is an amazing phone. Just got the December update recently. I am still using it as my spare phone with TPG SIM card.

Tried sd card on other phone and it's working but my note 8 just can't detect. Any solutions? Thanks a lot.

Likely the SD slot on the phone got problem. Can be repaired. I don't think it will be very costly.

Recently I used GWS at Sim Lim Square 4th or 5th floor. I got them to replace the battery of an old Galaxy Tab S2 9.7. They charged me $70 nett for what they claim is an original Samsunb battery. The tablet is working normally now. Switching it off at 100% battery power and turning it on again 2 days later showed 100% still. So battery is good, tablet is good.

You can try them if you want to repair the SD slot.

I remember it was fine before the update but after that it starts to have few problems. Few days after then I realized sd card has problem. Didn't drop though.

Take it out. Wipe the card clean. Put it back. Restart phone.

Check in samsung members app. Note 8 is not included in the list. Samsung already abandon note 8.

to me, firmware update is overrated
that's why sticking to Android 9 on note 10+
