Galaxy Note 8

Apologies for OT.

If I back up my Note 5 and Note 10 to the cloud can the data be stored separately?

I find it best to use independent gmail accounts on my devices.

Excellent idea. Love it thank you.

Edit: backed up my phone.

Got my Note 8 on Saturday morning. Bought it on the MTN special. Did all of the updates (Orea and security), and I have to say...what a piece of kit.

Hope it will last me as long as the Note 4 did.

What wireless chargers are you using? What thickness of cover is going to have an impact on it?

I am considering a wireless charger/cradle for the car as well.

I got myself this one:

The clear cover that came with the phone does not affect it.

Awesome thanks.

Was looking at that one on Takealot, but now I'm wondering whether it would be worth the extra money to buy this one?

Though I reckon the 1A one you have would be more than sufficient for an office-based charger.

Did you get it on that special

Sorry for the late reply.

I got the R499 deal yes. So now I have two Note 8's. One that is fully functional and one that can only be used on wifi. LOL

IF, that's a big IF, they get my phone sorted and it gets Unblacklisted, then I'm going to sell it. Apparently a device can only be Blacklisted once.

If not, I'm keeping it and use it as a very expensive media player. LOL

That is so unnecessary. Google has built its services around syncing to your account to keep your experience consistent across devices. Why would you make separate accounts?

Was thinking the same. Google stores backups per device.

I used Samsung's backup but Tsepz_011 says it does the same i.e. backups by device.

Does Telkom still have stock?

Due to having multiple devices, that are not used exclusively by myself.

Tech21 makes a good screen protector for the Note8. Goes for about 300

I've been using my Note 8 without a screen protector since October last year. Not a single scratch. These premium screens are made to last.

Hey @Tsepz_011. Just to be clear, I did believe you. My post 2088 might look as if I was in doubt.

Does anyone know where I can get the camera lens cover itself locally or replaced? Through insurance it would take 1+ month and independent shop want R1,500 and they will change the entire back.

Anyone else experiencing this problem?

Cloud Save - Samsung Cloud Backup Failed

I've "fixed" it a couple of times, but the problem keeps appearing after a few days.
