it's NOT tempered glass. it's the film type of SP.

some "grouses" about the new Touchwiz:
* no volume control when pressing the power button. only off/ reboot? hmmm...
* no infinite scrolling -- such a pain when you have a few screens and you're at one end and need to go to the other end. why can't they put a switch to enable this?
* still trying to get used to the stuff they chucked into SETTINGS. need to take a while to look for things. luckily the search function is good.
* no torch/ flashlight widget. need to use notification. such a pain...

well, i come from Note 2, which had most of the stuff i mentioned above.

i guess just need to get used to it.

just read that this is considered new UI -- Grace UX.

dem... i guess it'll take a long time for Samsung to refine it. and earlier someone already shared a link to XDA... this UX is also heavy... **sigh**

just sharing my personal opinion..

i'll probably not go with any warranty extension including screen crack thingy.

from what i understand, GG5 is software, so not so prone to crack from drops. but it's more prone to scratches due to its nature being softer.

i see more likely the Note7 wll get scratches because of the pen.

unless that screen protection program also covers scratches, else... kinda waste. unless an year end, purposely go damage the screen and claim...

i think this program more suitable for those harder GG... probably earlier gen Note or even S7.

but ya... maybe still consider the one extra year hardware warranty. though my experience with Samsung equipment (including non smartphone stuff), they can last many years...

lolz... same here. s2 still working -- given away but i know it's still working.

s3 is used for testing. now still on note 2. but probably switching my stuff to note 7 this week. not really sure what to do with the note 2 yet. might keep as spare or sth...

my experience with REMAX cable is kinda bad. not sure if the shop was selling ORI, though it claimed to be. I tested the amp i was getting on my phone and could not reach the level i wanted.

so, for now... never bothered to check it out.

there is no way to personlise the LED notification light, right?

iinm, there is such option on my Note 2 but can't find it on Note 7. i mean... i dun need a RED LED to show it's charging and GREEN to show it's completed charging. usually I disable these but keep the LED for other use - like incoming message from whatsapp, SMS, pending notification, etc...

wow... i guess have to wait till like Sept when the Note7 is officially sold in MY, right? after all, there should not be any stocks right now unless they are returned/ displa/ demo stocks...

you're using the Samsung keyboard? there is... under the Samsung KB settings.

weird.. don't have settings for the "light".

i don't really bother too much. otherwise, then might as well not get a note 7 with all the features.

but what i do:
* keep phone plugged in all the time
* adjust screen brightness to a comfortable level -- usually lowest and at auto
* turn off location services unless i need it
* black theme all the way... coz i like black on phone anyway...[COLOR=red]

imho, power saving feature is probably best used when you dun have a power outlet or power bank with you and you need the phone to last a few more hours -- maybe expecting an urgent call.

else... enjoy the rm3199 phone to it's max. <-- well, not really this price for preorder ppl... but you get what i mean.

i screwed my first one too via DIY, though it's more my clumsiness... dropped in onto the table.

i was surprised by how good the SP is coz when i aplied the second one... it had so many bubbles that i thought i would write it off -- i usually apply all the SP own my own and i felt this was the worse ever. still, i decided tojust do the best... used that squeeee thing and slowly pushed out all the bubbles... 15-20mins later... i noticed bubbles all gone.

so, right now... it's really good.

as for alignment... just test first. dun take out the film... just place over the phone. make sure the camera holes are properly over the camera. and check the HOME button cut out/ alignment. once you have a feel of how the SP is supposed to be placed, then take out the film and apply! good luck...

and seriously.... no kidding about the bubbles... it had so many bubbles everywhere that i was just about to tear away and give buy another new pack. but somehow... they just disappeared after i slowly squeezed them out.

so your main concern should be dust.

some ppl say... apply in a foggy bathroom... i tried that before... hahaha... sounds like a good idea... but you might get vapour trapped instead of dust.

US version is using Snapdragon processor. we're using Exynos.

what's your firmware version?

I asked this Q before and ya, possibly the wireless charger won't stop. manual advised to remove device coz otherwise, charger will continue to work and charger becomes hot too.

so personally, I'm using wired for home/ overnight.

wireless in office.. it's air-conditioned.

if you mean the ads on this site, what I did was report the offending ad. after that, it won't appear for you anymore.

or.. disable JavaScript on browser.

this is interesting... thanks for sharing.

i guess it just tops up right to maintain the battery at 100%...

but then again... iinm, the screenshot is showing battery info only. not displaying what the wireless charger is churning out.

it could still mean battery is full, so not taking in anymore... but wireless charger still churn out that much "energy".

what i understand, wired charging... phone/ adaptor can somehow "slow" down the power output from adaptor to phone, right? hence... smart charging.

i am currently using the wireless charger now. phone is already at 100% and i see green light. green light... means charge completed, ya?

blue = charging.

hmmm... i guess it's trickle charging/ top up, then?
