Doze is working well. Battery drain I estimate about 2% over last night 8 hours. I was watching videos for about under 2 hours before I went to sleep. Battery drain in that 2 hours less than 10%. 3g was on 24/7

Thanks for the update bro.

Very tempting this fon, but im still contemplating to get it. using Note 3 now.

Trying to wait for Note 7 and see what it has to offer. Shall i wait N7( for sure price gonna be 3k++) or just get A9?

A9 and note 7 is totally different league..

depends on what you/re looking for actually..

If you want battery life, go for a9 and you wont regret..
*
Battery life is what I'm keen on. I'll check it out.. biggrin.gif

Btw... Is it confirm A9 doesn't have the LED notification.. "the blink2 near front camera"?

Of course get Note 7 la. A9 is not flagship. It won't get updated. You will regret buy A9
*
U sure about that?

Meaning those using A, J series will stuck with the stock OS forever?

Right before Note 7 launch. Got myself A9 Pro.

Now a proud owner of A9 Pro. rclxms.gif biggrin.gif

Manage to trade in my Note 3 for RM 550. The shop say Note 7 out sure value go lower. Good time to let go I guess.


Verdict so far


Charge full, unplug at 8 am. During the day mostly on WhatsApp, Web browsing, document edit/view MS Word/PDF, calls, emails, 1 hour of Google maps. Night time watch TV series 50 minutes and at midnight battery at 54%. Cool...

Didn't charge for the night (wanna test the battery). Continue next day with same usage. Around 5 pm battery 29% with warning came out. Great..no need to bring powerbank. Haha. straight charge at home.


At first feel so damn big, but after a day u will get use to it.


Things I miss

No LED notification. Note 3 had it. So, need to check the phone often if you silent your phone or miss something.

No Infrared. I used to control my home TV with Smart Peel. Now no IR, cannot make your device as remote control.

Still can live without it though.

great feedback, by the way would you mind to share which shop would like to take up your note 3 for RM550? I would like to try my luck with my Note 2, as I have two of it and also a Zenfone2, would like to give up one of it.
*
Sure. It was at Samsung Store in Publika Mall. Good service as well.

Wow didnt knew samsung store accepts trade in. 550 is a good price. Dont know whether is it acceptable at only that store or nationwide. Thanks for your feedback ya.
*
I was shocked myself. I went to Samsung 1Utama, they don't accept trade in. Luckily, Publika accept.

Asked the Publika worker, she said the store have agent selling 2nd hand phones. That is actually a good strategy.

If im not mistaken for notification on A serires just go to setting and enable flash notification. It will show flash notification instead from ur camera flash. Just like an iphone style

*
Hi. Thanks for the tips. But, afraid to tell you there is no such feature. In the Settings, only have notification for apps.

U need to use 3rd party app. For the flash notification, I downloaded Light Manager from Google Play. So good so far.

Me. Personally I don't believe in using any SP on my phones. Only harder stuffs than glass can cut/scratch it such as diamond or sand. The chances of such hitting in my phones is zero. And I always use a flipcase
I had even demo trying to scratch a Note2 with scissors, keys n blade dragging across display and no scratches at all. Than my buddies were really amazed. Infact you can find numerous YouTube videos of such tests
I will usually remove any preinstall SP if I plan to use phone more than 3 months
Nothing beats using phone naked without any SP
*
I have the same thinking as well. High-five!..

I dont believe in SP. I used it on my Note 3. I feel that SP affects the accuracy of the S-Pen. I took it out and it is much easier to use. So I never used it since then.

I also saw the Corning Gorilla video. The Corning is adequate enough to withstand scratches from keys and coins. Thats what u encounter most..keys and coins. If u have butterfingers always drop on the floor..maybe u should use SP.

That's weird. Should be able via Google Play.

Try allow unknown sources, go to Settings > Lock Screen and Security > Enable "Unknown Sources"
