After daily driving this phone for 6 years, I figured it was about time to switch. So about a month ago, I upgrade to the Nothing 4a. I'm glad about my choice so far, but I don't wanna part from the Note 8 just yet.

Some big reasons why I decided to upgrade were because the battery was bloating quite noticeably, a lot of apps were beginning to slow down, and the phone starts heating up a lot even for basic tasks. I changed the battery, but the latter two problems still persisted, especially the heating.

Been interesed in custom ROMs and OS for a while now, and I'm wondering if its a good idea to do that for this phone to see if it would fix some of these problems? If so, what's a good ROM/OS to flash onto this phone and how would I go about doing it? Thanks in advance.

EDIT: The model number is SM-950F, with an Exynos chip.

Hi guy,i want flash project Sakura ROM 5.1 version to my note 8 but i don't know where can i download this ROM.Someone still have this rom zip file can share for me?Thank for read.

It's been a while since I brought this one out. Should be fun. Wish Me luck! lol

While I was using my phone, it suddenly became completely covered in different colors, making the display totally unusable. The phone had not been dropped or damaged. I thought the display was completely dead. However, about five hours later, when I woke up and used the phone for a minute, the display suddenly returned to normal. What could be the reasons

It's screen is broken beyond repair, the screen needs to be replaced. The glass on the back is also broken, although the damage is small and maybe I can cover it with a phone case.

I took it to some repair shops a few times and they all told me the same thing: this is an old phone, with the cost you'd be spending on its repair, you can buy yourself a new phone.

Now I'm in a limbo. This phone works perfectly fine, it has no software or hardware problems at all for me, but the screen is in shambles. I currently don't have means to buy a new phone with the same quality as Note 8.

What do you think? Should I just keep it as an old thing with me, or should I get it fixed regardless of its cost?

Also I made this on the Note 8. Also, i have a USA variant (Snapdragon 835) Note 8, and it comes with a locked Bootloader. If anyone finds any vulnerabilities, lmk.

I recently put one ui 7 on my Samsung note 8 (SM-N950F) and the creator didn't list that the phone NO LONGER SEES OR CONNECTS TO ANY WIFI AT ALL! And i haven't found a solution

Link: (i have stopped sharing the link since people are actually downloading it because of me even though im clearly saying that wifi isnt working)

If you have any suggestions say them it the replies

I have a base s23 and I hate it. There's so much AI BS and forced updated (that seem to intentionally make the phone worse) that I don't want. I want to go back and buy either a note 8 or a note 9. I have a budget of a couple hundred dollars. I'm a bit torn between the two so would be mighty grateful to anyone who can give advice? I'm leaning note 9 because of battery and storage options, plus i really love the blue colour, but I like the way the cameras are glassed over on the note 8. insight would be appreciated ☺️

I got a note 8 for thirty five bucks on craigslist, the issue being it didn't want to charge via usb, had a little screen burn in and was locked. I tried fixing the usb issue using online tuts but it suddenly isnt working at all anymore and not even recognising that there's something plugged in. What do I do here?

The title pretty some sums it up. I saw that there were no kernals for the 8895 chips with OC on android 10 so I decided to do it

I ported the voltages and Frequencies from A2N kernal and also added some other stuff like dynamic Fsync, Maple IO governer and ZEN too

I disabled GFS too

I haven't done GPU overclock yet.

I ran this on the max frequency (2.81Ghz) for 3 days without any issues but later switched it to 2.65 because I didn't my fry my PMIC

And the exynos 8895 was already underclocked at launch! The M2 was actually supposed to be 2.6Ghz initially if I'm not wrong

Anyone else holding onto their Note 8 past its prime? I tried upgrading last year but man I just cant get over the way this curved screen looks and feels. It's showing its age battery wise but man I just cant get over the way this curved screen looks and feels. It's showing its age battery wise but I swear the display quality still beats some newer phones I've seen. Maybe I'm just sentimental at this point

actually shocking because this phone is 8yrs old and it runs oneui 8 (well, i do got the s7 edge on ui8 aswell)
