I find this to be extraordinarily strange, but my Note 8 has become magnetic. Small metal objects to the back of it. My concern is dangerous. Can't afford another "Note-Gate" hazard.
Is anyone experiencing this or does anyone have any insight on this phenomena?

It is probably from using a magnet mount. The coils of the wireless charging is copper so it will be able to conduct things over time probably. Did not notice this until my brother mentioned that he can use a magnetic mount without a metal plate on his SG9+.
I don't use a magnet mount though. I can't think of any time I've placed it on a magnet. it's not impossible but I don't recall any such conditions. Thanks for your insights though. that's the best lead I have so far which makes sense

Speakers, monitors, and many other household things have magnetic fields too... My automatic watches often get magnetized by them. If you have a cheap compass, put it next to a speaker and watch the needle move
The question then is: "Is it dangerous and will it cause my battery life to deplete faster?" Any thoughts on that?

Hmm I wouldn't think so, but I can't say for sure. Phones do have a magnetic field to begin with, so I figure a little extra magnetism isn't too bad.
1. there is a magnet to hold your s pen
2. your speaker is magnetic
nothing special ^^

Just tried it and yes, mine is also magnetic. But I don't think it became magnetic, I think there is simply a magnetic spot there by design from begin on. It's not so near the s-pen, so I don't think it has anything to do with it. The Speaker is not very far away, so this could be it, but I'm not convinced.
The magnetic field is quite strong, I think too strong for such a small speaker, but maybe the magnet serves some other purpose? Idk, but very interesting.
Will look up some tear down videos, to figure this out.
EDIT: After looking at the tear down videos, it has to be the speaker.
I realized mine was magnetic too when it would stick to my magnetic car mount without having the special plate lol

Yeah, magnetic fields are not dangerous at all and this field is not there by accident but by design because of the speaker. The Note 7 is a different story though...

There is a magnet behind the screen there. Its used for the smart cover. If you put a weak magnet over that spot it should put your phone to sleep. The cover has a corresponding magnet in that location.
Ignore this, I had a crappy connection, I thought that was the front of your phone. Got a clearer look at the video, pretty sure that's the speaker.
It held up on your magnetic plate? ...by the strength of the plate's magnet or the Note 8's magnetism? You know what, maybe I should go ahead and call them, just ask Sammy's tech team about the issue. I'm not absolutely convinced that the magnetism was fully intended by Samsung. I agree with you all that it may not be dangerous, but inquisition has value.

It held up for a few seconds without the plate. Just the phone itself but then it slides off
It was a valid recall. We just wanna be sure about what's going on. The Note line is fantastic and is to be respected, but let the discussion happen so we can all know if all is well or not. It would be great to know that it's nothing. :good:
Edit: A friend of mine says he is almost positive that there is a magnet there for the S-pen

The S-Pen utilses an electromagnetic grid to power it. That is probably what is causing this.
try to bake it, it will become not only magnetic, but also electric, with sparks, lol

Why not just pop open the phone and remove the camera?
The bondo idea was the best, you could buy a new phone cover, chop out a section of the old one and use bondo to secure it, sand it down and it should look stock.

So in this area, you cannot carry a camera, but you can carry a sound recorder and 2-way communication device? Sounds odd.
I mounted a thin metal plate to the whole flat section of the back of my G1 so I could stick it to a large neo magnet that is glued to the dash in my truck. I don't care about the compass not working. Plus, I have tested it after about 6 months. If I put a regular back on it the compass still works great. No lasting effects.
I used the side of an old computer case. Cut out the shape I needed. I cut out a hole for the camera and speaker but you could just cover the camera and leave the speaker free. After I got everything smooth, I gave the whole thing a brushing with 150 grit sand paper in a uniform direction. Then I put it on my kitchen stove top on high for about 5 min to blue the metal. It gives it a great finish that resists rusting and isn't sticky or easily scratched like paint.

I am amazed that sticking your phone to a big-ass magnet all day has no lasting effects..
None what so ever. GPS works great. Accelerometer works great. Doesn't affect storage or memory. Again, I took the back cover off after about 6 mo. Compass works fine. Must be because it's solid state.
wonder if this guy ever figured it out?
very easy way would be to peel the piece of glass off the back of the phone cover and replace it with a piece of sheetmetal so they know there isnt a hole in it. you can get scraps from pretty much anywhere and shape them with a dremel...
It is very thin...I wonder if we will have any problem with bending or cracking the screen from bending by carrying it in your pocket??
Any thoughts??
Don't think so. Maybe if you put it in your back pocket and sit on it but its still a solid piece. When you look at the Evo 4G the phone is 2 pieces and actually has a week spot but i doubt the Note 2 would just bend or crack without considerable force. Just my opinion.
I would like to believe that this is a nonissue. Have you heard any of the OG notes breaking from being bent? Every review I have seen has said that this is a sturdy device.

No, I have not heard of any notes breaking. It just felt delicate to me...I'm sure it will be just fine. Can't wait!!
I would be very careful with this. I did see a post in another thread somewhere about a broken screen.
I work with a guy that has a Casio Commando with a broken screen. So....
Take a sheet of plastic and see how easily you can bend it. Doesn't take too much flex to break thin glass.
Anyway. If I get this, I'll for sure be looking for a sturdy case for it.

People said the same thing with the S3. Most likely because of the plastic feel.
If someone puts it in their back pocket and is well a bigger person, there is a risk or if they fall hard on their backside then that could break it.

I wouldn't do it and certainly not for aesthetic reasons. I mentioned it for those who were concerned about whether or not the phone is sturdy enough with a plastic back.

I watched the samsung testing facility video. They bend these devices quite a bit. It wasn't in English, but it didn't need to be. Its plastic for a reason. I've had my nexus fall 3 times while running on a treadmill. Sure the battery falls out... but not a scratch on the device and works just fine still. I had a Moto Razr Maxx HD which is, well, metal. I feel like that would crack the screen if its dropped before the nexus would.
Plastic has a lot more flex to it than glass (obviously), so any slight bends to the phone shouldn't be much of an issue.

When you guys get it in let ever one know how it is. One of the few things I want to know is how are the rear buttons? That's the main thing really. Other than that only other small worry is the rear speaker volume after the case is on.

I believe it is. Note that the back speaker holes are actually on the bottom. The battery would be on top of the speaker so the closest way out would be to the bottom. I am not terribly enthusiastic with ZL's new design. I wish they stopped trying to out-ugly the Otterbox and made the smallest possible cover as before.

I have not seen the actual G3 battery, but I've seen their batteries for other phones. They way they achieve their monster capacity is that the battery does not just occupy the battery slot, but pancakes over the whole back surface of the phone. It does not reach as high as the camera, but everything else on the back gets covered up. In addition, I can't think what other purpose would have the four holes on the bottom edge if not for the speaker. You can see both the holes and how the battery covers up the speaker in the third picture of that ebay link. OFC it would still be muffled that way.
TBH, even though I was a loyal customer previously, I think I'll pass on this battery for now too. My reasons are:
1. I need an everyday use device, not a ruggerized brick that I could use as a weapon in a tight spot.
2. Covered ports - in addition to finding a dock compatible with this monstrosity, I now need to fiddle with port covers
3. Muffled speaker. I spend plenty of hours on teleconferences and a loud speaker is important to me.
4. I finally jumped on on the wireless charging bandwagon and there is no going back. I just love the convenience of just putting the phone down and picking it up whenever without messing with connectors. I bought a couple of chinese TYLT ripoffs for home and office and a one touch car phone holder with wireless charging. With G3s excellent stock battery life, I am covered for day to day. I also applied for their spare battery promotions, so I think I'll be OK for flying/traveling as well. I will test that theory soon.
Didn't realise the speaker covered up until after I purchased. If its bad when I get it, I may just cut a whole out haha. Smh. or end up hestitantly using it.. hope its not the deal breaker. imam miss wireless charging too. But that extra battery life will be extremely handy
I tried to search another alternative and found this

and
this from mugen.
http://www.mugenbattery.com/mugen-power-extended-6200mah-battery-for-lg-g3/
how did you think for this extended battery ?
On their other products with rear speakers, they leave a channel under the battery where the speaker is and have a hole in the bottom of the case to direct it out. It's not ideal, but having a rear mounted speaker isn't really ideal either. If they are doing this on their G3 product, it should be OK.

Do the buttons work every time ? Also dose the case interfere with the camera, my g2 zerolemon case was not too good. The camera (especially with flash) would make pictures look bad. On the pictures one corner was blocked pretty bad. The buttons work 7 Times out of 10. Hopefully the fixed All that for the G3, if they did I'd love to have it.

That's so the magic cover and keyboard folio can stay attached.
It's a feature not a bug. It's so the Google Surface keyboard case will work on it. It's a nice case, but I couldn't figure out how to get it at more than one angle, and it still seems to pose a threat when you want to flip it around like the cover of a book... Otherwise it's still really tiny compared to off market models.
Hi there,
for Years i'm reading here silently and i never register myself.
I'm German and i hope that my english is well enough that you can understand my Questions.
I have a Question, not about Software for Samsung S8, so that's the Point for me to register here.
Hope that is the right Place in this Forum for my Question.
In the Future i plan to buy a S8 second hand. My Money is small so the most second hand S8 are in need of repair (Frontglas & Backcovers). Nothing what a Human with skills can handle. But i want to mod the S8 on the Side of Hardware.
Here is my Question:
Is it possible to make a Backcover from Aluminium and to use it instead of Glascover?
My thinking is to get a Originalcover and then to rebuild one from Aluminium (Thin it must be). CNC, or Lasercut for the precision.
I've googled many hours in the Hope to find something like this, but nothing.
So i want to ask you.
I think a Backcover from Alu ist not so breakable as Glas, more stable, but is it to realize without elektrical Danger to Part of the Phone.
I don't like the Cases & Bumpers & so on. I want to make my Phone more personal.
Are my thoughts crazy, or not? What do you think?
Hope my thread here is ok and do not conflict with the Forumrules. Sorry if that happens, but otherwise i will be thankfull for an answer or discussion about this Topic.
Greets to all outhere...
Interesting idea! Personally I would go with a skin like dbrand or slikwrap even if the glass is broken. Personal look and you don't lose any wireless functionality
Make sure that you remove the wireless charging coil before this!
Aluminium Backcover-Possible or not
Hi there,
i'm living in a relativ small Town in Northern Germany, but i hope i can find some
Manufacturers that can realize my idea. Maybe i must give an Order to some Firma over Google, or so.
To j91hernandez:
Can you give me eventually some links to the products. In Germany there are unknown, i think. I want to take a look on it.
I ask myself: is a Alu-BC thick enough to protect the Phone like the Glas-BC?
Or must can i use a Metall-BC instead Alu? I don't know.
The other thing is: you must remove the Original-BC to apply the, maybe stronger, Mod-BC. But if the S8 has no Guarantee you can make it like you wish.
Glas-Cover looks great, but i've seen so much broken S8s to buy in Ebay-Second Hand Shop, so i wondering, why nobody change the BC of the Phone to avoid the use of Cases, etc.
With a well designed Metall / Alu-BC it must be better, i think. Maybe you can make it less slippery for your Hands, too.
But: is there Dangers for electrical Parts of the Phone, i mean short circuit between Parts? In wich Way it affects the NFC Functions, etc.?
Maybe try & error! I'm willing to do so if i have the Money to buy a S8. So i try to get any Infos about that Projectidea.

That's a Point! The Function of the Phone shall be at 100%, so i think i must look and read about Phones with Metall-BC AND Wireless Charging how they doing it.
There would be a chance the metal backing by witch one would have to possibly custom make curves and all. But may dampen WiFi bluetooth and wireless signals. Anything other than plastic glass or aluminum I would imagine would interfere with wireless charging as well. Absorbing or warping the magnetic field
But I would say if a man could bend the edges properly a hand held rotary tool would more than likely suffice to do all edging and cutouts for various sensors. I have had to make due with home made metal object before but precision be on this is a must. As water resistance is more than like gone with the wind on this mod.....
Which I support fully

I agree with this
A plastic back would make much more sense as it would bend easier than metal for the corners while allowing for wireless charging and not causing any kind of electrical shorting issues.

Hi there,
ok, Plastic-Cover is another idea to think about.
But it looks not so good as Alu, or Metall. Hm, maybe th use of a Skin can make the Optic cooler than. Another Sideeffekt is that the Plastik is covered then against big sctratches. No Danger for short circuits then and hopefully no problems with wireless charging and so on.
To Build such an BC is easier, right. Bending and cut out the Holes, that's all what we can make ourselves (if you are not Double-Lefthanded).
Thanks for the Input. Will think about that and trying it if i have my S8 in the Future.
A Fullbody-Cover protects the Phone completly (Front+Back), but on the other Side it is more thicker, unhandy. Often the Buttons are not good to press, and such things.
if you insist on aluminium/metal, then you are going to have to give up some functionalities. otherwise, plastics would be your only option. wood might be a viable option too, however durability would be an issue with the material.
imho though, you mentioned that you have limited money and if you're going to get an aluminium/metal/wood back cover machined by someone, it's going to cost more than you would think. replacement glass are way cheaper and as the other user suggested, you have vinyl wraps to get the look that you want
