Never made any assumptions, just did not notice your recommendation to the OP to forego his smartphone and get a standard cell phone (which are by no means any less secure given that even modern feature phones also runs on some OS or other that probably can parse java applets). I always thought...

Always interesting when this is thrown out, look I do not doubt that infosec is a big thing, not only on a commercial level but on a national level too, I am all too aware of how unguarded our national infrastructure is. There are without doubts individuals and organisations who can easily...

OK just for clarification, why get a bloody smartphone in the first place........ I mean the only vibe I get from your post is to never get a smartphone, actually even a cell phone might be exposing yourself to unwanted "privacy intrusion", actually scratch that, the internet is a big flaming...

As far as i know this will only work with the Network unlocked version of the Note 8 (SM-N950U1) using the Samsung+ (Beta) app version 11.5.0.1 (35010)

There is already a thread about this at https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-8/how-to/snapdragon-official-note-8-n950u1-t3893612 Just to add my experience, for me to get this to work i had to Uninstall the Samsung+ app. Install the Samsung+ (beta) app (which will give you a prompt...

I was presuming that they were using a compatible pen device as the post mentions multiple S Pen, the only issue is not all compatible pen devices has a button.

See screenshot for settings for floating icon and power saving options under advance -> SPen settings, SPen does not require to be removed, pressing the button will bring up the air command icon after which it will stick around till a reboot (your out if luck if pen does not have button)

The s-pen has to be undocked (i.e. not in the phone, even if you do not plan on using it), under options advanced features -> S Pen -> Floating Icon you should now have an air command icon you can click to get to the air command shortcuts (can be moved around and placed in a location of your...

strange mine works fine with mobile data on, do you have the switch to mobile data when ever your wifi internet connection is slow or unstable turned on in the advance wifi options?

I have an A5000 but i believe the method should be same. When using wifi transfer i set it to wifi direct rather than through a router/access point (never had any success with using wifi router), when connecting directly to the camera the phone will complain about no internet access, make sure...

Have him log into google play using a web browser(not from a smartphone) with each of his google accounts, under settings -> my device it will list all past android devices associated with that account (SM-N950**, obviously * represents model number)

I doubt the May update will improve your situation, ARCore was working for me well before May and April security update. The only thing that comes to mind is make sure your google play services is up to date, currently im on version 12.6.85 (040400-197041431).

Though i have a SM-N950U1, I have ARCore installed (think it was installed alongside AquaAR-by ARCore) and seemingly working. Hardware is almost identical so ARCore should be working for you too. *ARCore version 1.2.180425094 (pending an update), Android 8.0.0, Samsung experience 9.0, kernel...

Depending upon policies, but i believe generally speaking device needs to have encryption enabled and a secure startup pin

In general have never had issues with hard pressing with screen off, often when i fish my phone out my pocket i accidentally hard press and the vibration tells me so with no lag. the only time there is a lag is when the phone just came out of a cold boot or if it's installing/updating stuff.
