    I have a Gear VR for my Note 8, but is there any way at all to add the Motor trend app on my gear vr or is it a lost cause... ? Thanks in advanced.

    It's been a year since I got this Note 8 and I have to say it's been sufficient. I took precautions to preserve the battery by getting a smart plug and every time to go to charge it wait til it gets to 35% and no lower, when I do throw it on a charger I look at the phone's estimated time to...

    Post Finally, Tempered glass inexpensive full back adhesive for the Note

    Certainly doesn't feel like exactly one year later, but I haven't had a screen protector on this phone and I haven't had any accidents or damage of any kind to the screen. I don't feel the need for it, but I hope my good fortune continues because I've kept up my good habits being careful...

    Thread VR on a Note 8 to watch local video content??

    I've been entertaining the idea of getting a Gear VR to watch video content off my sd card (not streaming) and have tried to search for video about people actually doing just that to get an idea of what to expect. It seem like there is Samsung's stupid simulated room with a screen. I would...

    Post [Gear S3 Owners - Show Your Straps]

    I hated the existing velcro straps because they were so sharp on the edges so I started making my own. I'm in love with my 2.0 attempt. Thanks, sorta entertaining selling some although currently exploring velcro clasps

    Why... why did I update to this ****... UGH... Camera start lags now and then the shudder doesn't start taking a picture when you hit the shudder button which has a large delay... Other stuff don't work as well before Oreo....

    Post Finally, Tempered glass inexpensive full back adhesive for the Note

    Went to Verizon because my aunt needed to inquire about a new screen protector on her V30. I asked them about a screen protector (tempered hopefully) for the Note 8 and they agreed most were garbage, but "theirs" is very good. I might try it later just because apparently for a small fee (I...

    Post [Gear S3 Owners - Show Your Straps]

    My black small paracord strap shrank a bit after putting it through the wash, so I made a new one using 325 paracord instead of micro 90. I think this is a lot more comfortable anyway too.

    Post Overall love

    I've liked the note series from the start since having a note 1. I only went with the 8 because I didn't have a choice. I'll be going to Verizon and this is the only phone on amazon that could assure that I'd be able to switch. I however feel this phone (or any other non-LG) makes me miss my...

    Post Finally, Tempered glass inexpensive full back adhesive for the Note

    I understand the risks. I've been consciously disciplining myself every time I handle the phone even more than any other phone I've ever owned. I think it's sufficient til a suitable screen protector gets here...

    Post Finally, Tempered glass inexpensive full back adhesive for the Note

    Long story short... Put on a $7 screen protector shortly after my last post and dropped the phone next to my bed face down onto a plastic surge protector and it bubbled the screen protector on one side and ripped it on the other side. From that point on I've been naked... That protector was...
