Just wanna ask you guys, what would be the best and slim back case for S7 Edge which would minimize any scratches especial at the edges. I don't really like flip cover and tough armor case which makes the phone feels bulky
*
What a hard question. lol
Too slim...won't be able to protect well. Otherwise it's too bulky.

I'm in taiwan now and managed to get my phone covered by these lovely sticky / protector.  It cost NT800..  Cover back and side.  Screen Protector they do not have stock at this moment

[attachmentid=6292198]
[attachmentid=6292200]
[attachmentid=6292204]
[attachmentid=6292205]

PS: why S7E alwaya auto rotate the pics in here?  It's annoying
*
Not sure why. I noticed it too. I think it's the Gallery that auto rotate when we view inside the app but the actual pic orientation is wrong.

No, I bought non pre-order. Becos I'm a true hardware enthusiast. I know the performance is much more depends on software optimization, but what I paid is for high end hardware, and I know I own a high end hardware. One more thing, I won't buy non-AMOLED phone anymore since I use S4, no way return back even IPS screen.

notworthy.gif you two. For me, I'm an accidental owner of this phone. I'm not willing to splurge so much money haha. This is my most expensive phone so far. sweat.gif

BTW don't you find that AMOLED screen tends to have yellow-ish tint after some time?

Some even pay up to rm200+ just for Samsung original cases. I will never spend such amount of money for it. I got an imitation clear cover flip case for less than half vs original case. Its quality is good n comparable too to the original ones
*
For Samsung original casing, I think it's not as bad lol. What I can't accept is the material and cost for a film is so low. RM250 is like 50-100x profit margin.

QUOTE(robin98 @ Apr 2 2016, 11:20 AM)
I mean if buy RM2.6k phone but buy RM10 pasar malam film/case to protect oso doesn't match.

Like buy Audi car but use tayar buatan Malaysia cap lembu
*
Not exactly. Basically he paid 10% of the phone price for screen protector. Which means Audi owners need to pay 40-50k for a set of tires. And the comparison doesn't even match. It should be paying rm40-50k for windows tinting! doh.gif

Anyway nothing is too wrong about it. Their money. Ha ha I'm just surprised by the buying power.

tried samsung VR at samsung store, the quality is really really really bad.

I tried google cardboard (paired with meizu mx4), the quality is sooo much better. I dont know what is happening to Samsung VR, but it really doesn't worth the money. I pick google cardboard over Gear VR anytime.

Did you try both implantation using the same phone? Could it be because of pentile pixels arrangement of AMOLED screens?

SD stands for "Secure Digital", SDHC stands for "Secure Digital High Capacity", SHXC stands for "Secure Digital eXtended Capacity".
From the names only you can tell he main difference in all three i.e. storage capacity.
SDHC cards offers between 4GB to 32GB and SDXC offers more than 32GB.

There is no difference in the quality or security or speed. The transfer speed depends on the "CLASS" of the card mentioned on it and not on whether it is a SDHC card or SDXC.
All, SD, SDHC and SDXC are available in various CLASS ranging from 2 to 10.
CLASS 2 represents 2MB/s transfer speed and so on.
*
I would like to add. Class 2 actually means minimum sequential writting speed of 2MB/s. Multimedia files like video are sequential in nature. This is also a reason why apps do not run as fast as phone's embedded flash memory due to it's random blocks placement, most significant during starting an app because it's slower to hunt for the memory block.

Then we have UHS-I and UHS-II for higher speed transfer performance.

I don't have such issue. Perhaps you accidentally holding the Menu capacitive button?

Any idea why my SOT only 2 hours+?[attachmentid=6414091][attachmentid=6414097]

Because you didn't reply the friend request. tongue.gif
Jokes aside, obviously something is wrong with your S7E. I can consistently get more than 5 hours of SOT every day.

My short summary on latest APD1 firmware
- No more hanging or auto restart.
- The added share video or photo from Motion photo is welcome.
- I actually still facing com.faceservice but lessor, this I think only affect certain user probably due to install apps. I just disable it.

What Samsung shall do in next firmware
- Further optimize the GPU as I find certain 3D games seems not that smooth compare with Note5 where it suppose be much smoother.
- Fix the heavy frame drop issue when pitch to access wallpaper, widgets, themes and grid. The animation on this area is pretty bad. No issue in Note5 or S6 Edge.

What I hope added feature in next firmware

- Ability to use themes icon only. Only change the icon but not the entire themes. Ability to join different themes setting even better.
- Ability to remove unwanted video in motion photo and save as normal photo.
- Feature to set Sharpness details in Pro mode or reduce the over sharpness issue in photo taking.

How about battery consumption? Same?
Actually I never have auto restart nor hang issue with the previous firmware. Wondering should I update or not.
