Samsung Galaxy Note8: How To Remove Liquid Glass?

Sat, 13 Dec 2025 03:29:38 -0700

I bought a Samsung S8+ and had a liquid glass protectant put on the device, front and back. Fine, absolutely no problem. Then I got the Note 8 and had the same thing done. The Note 8 glass is messed up all around the edges, front and back. How can I remove the liquid glass protectant and not mess up the the screen? What should I use? Help, phone is only 3 days old!!!!

Samsung Galaxy Note8: Note 8 Freezes and restarts

Sun, 06 Jul 2025 08:30:02 -0700

My Samsung Note 8, has started to Freeze and then restart and keeps doing that until it's battery runs flat, sometimes locks up so bad I can't force it off.
I did some troubleshooting from Wiping the cache partition and factory resetting the phone and seems to work for about 2 minutes before freezing and going back into the loop, I also tried reinstalling the software for the phone with Odin but seems that doesn't fix the issue.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advanced.

Samsung Galaxy Note8: My battery died to 0% and won't charge now, wired nor wireless.

Thu, 26 Jun 2025 06:07:50 -0700

I was using my phone like normal and the battery went to 0 and the phone shut down now it won't charge Wireless or wired. 2x note8's in the house with 4x wired chargers and 2x wireless and all confirmed working with other note8. Plugging them in and holding power + volumn ^ and √ and bixby and every combination doesn't work and no water damage but I did drop once from waist height (shame my butter fingers and it was only a week old) but that doesn't constitute this because a whole month gone by of use from it before this...

Samsung Galaxy Note8: The device is turned off

Wed, 11 Sep 2024 22:17:31 -0700

Hello, I have a Samsung Note 8 (N950F) device that has turned off and now that I have tested it with the power supply, it remains constant at 0.30 amps. I connected it to the computer, but it did not connect to the computer. Is it possible that the problem is with the device's hard drive and it can be fixed with Ribal?

Warning: Don't use charging/USB port

We've detected moisture or foreign material in your charging/USB port.

Check your charging/USB port for any foreign material such as dust or debris. To prevent damage to your phone, don't plug anything in until the charging port is clean, the moisture is gone, and the notification is cleared.

To dry the port, shake out any moisture, then wait for it to dry, which could take several hours. You can speed up drying by pointing a fan or dryer (cool air only) at the port.

In the meantime, you can charge your phone wirelessly.

Samsung Galaxy Note8: Phone shutting down after bump

Sat, 13 Jul 2024 13:53:19 -0700

As of a couple days ago, my Note8 has been completely powering down with even the slightest bump.

Sometimes it won't fully shut down though and recovers from a blank screen (as if it had shut down).

I haven't found really any info on this online and wondered if anyone had any ideas before I start taking it apart and (trying) to fix it.

I don't wanna end up buying a replacement battery or anything if that's not going to fix it and it would look like the phone was gubbed (though I hope not).

So if anyone has any ideas please let me know!

Samsung Galaxy Note8: Is to worth to replace digitizer?

Sun, 26 May 2024 22:39:39 -0700

I have a broken Samsung Galaxy Note 8. the screen cracked about 10% of the screen and the digitizer where the upper half of the screen malfunctioned (cannot detect touch). however the display is working quite fine, the display screen is good but there is some burn mark shape like the app icon. the touch only can work by using spen. so the obvious problem here is just a broken touch digitizer.

My question is would you recommend I change the digitizer (which requires a much more difficult job and high risk) or just replace the whole display (frame, LCD and digitizer already attached, 1 set) which cost more?

Samsung Galaxy Note8: Phone charges and holds charge but won't turn on

Wed, 22 May 2024 11:03:28 -0700

So after using the note 8 in my B-I-Ls pool (which turned out to be Saline and not Chlorine) the phone seemed to just die and has not turned on since.

It does however hold a charge, and the led light works, but I don't get any other feedback or function from it.

I have tried all combinations of button presses etc but all with no luck.

Is it likely to be the motherboard, amd does that mean all photos on the phone are gone forever?

Thanks for reading...
