You can identify all the bloatware as is listed out in red color instead of blue
It is safe to disable and it won't brick the phone
It could only possibly disable some features of the phone
Test yourself and enabling back all you had disabled or certain app is just a simple click
You can Google for a list ( many sites) of supposedly safe app. I only browse through it and chose to select those which I do not need ..
Disabling app will NOT help you greatly on battery life
If battery life is crucial the best I had experienced is still Samsung A9pro . My SOT is 13-14 hours vs 7-8 for Note7 ( mainly internet stuffs with no gaming)

Hi Benny, sorry for late reply ... i see ... looks good .. don't mind spending few ringgits even to save small % of battery ... Just did a quick search on Google play and seems like the "official" 1 is by policedeveloper? But the rating is lower than another 1 called EZ Package Disabler (Samsung) .... not sure which 1 to get now .. any recommendations ?

1) Package Disabler Pro (samsung) by policedeveloper (4.2*)= RM2.88
2) Package Disabler Pro+ Samsung by policedeveloper (3.8*) = RM5.99
3) EZ Package Disabler (Samsung) by Hecorat (4.6*) = RM 5.99

Anyone can help the above ? sad.gif

Besides, I have another question. I remember before someone posted a screenshot on an app that has a table of time and battery percentrage .... like example i charge my phone now ... when it reach 25% is what time ... 26% is what time ... etcetc 99% is what time and lastly 100% is what time ... may I know what app is this ? Basically I want to record the exact time it needs for me to charge to 100% ... i don't need an estimate .. I just need to know how long time it takes for my phone to reach 100% during the charge ... anyone know of any similar app ? thanks

Manage to get 8hrs 40mins sot with 3% left, wifi 60% data 40% like usual FB, internet, WhatsApp, some YouTube, several phonecall and light gaming coc & sky force. No Batt saving mode, quite impressed with Samsung exynos. Hopefully it stays good , I'm the 04/08 batch too. tongue.gif

my note 3 was purchased the first day it was launched back in 2013 and it still works flawlessly now..
always satisfied with samsung's note series phone..

this is the first time i heard so much problem about samsung note series..
hopefully samsung will resolve the issue soon.. dont wish to have problem wit my note 7.. *fingers crossed*
*
Cheers mate ... same with me ... I'm still having my Note 3 with me now and it's perfect ... not even lagging ... The only reason I got the Note 7 is because my company lets us claim about 1k every 3 years for phone and the pre order freebies is attractive ... after initial complaints I still try to be positive as my unit is still good *touch wood* ... but 1 page back ... seems like battery also got problem .... damn Samsung ... don't disappoint your supporters ... This is really get scary ....

edit: Honestly I was also looking forward to tomorrow's gear S3 launch ... I was about to ask anyone here is hyped for it ... but ... seems like now I also have second thought about Samsung "first batch" stuff now ... aihhh ... I've been longing for a smartwatch ... maybe get Moto 360 2016 ... wait for IFA next week

Anyone installed Shutapp or Greenify on their Note 7 ? I tried and it needs to turn on some accessibility settings and when i do that, it says:

Shutapp and secure start up cannot be ON at the same time, would u like to turn off secure start up ...

Then i just select no ... so we can't use shutapp and greenify ? I noticed that once we open Waze, it will run in background even if close ... I just want to kill this app with shutapp/greenify

Typical ppl spotted !

Well why would SME give us the same as Taiwan?

We should be grateful already, Samsung offered the replacement on the defect without any condition etc.

Err fanboy spotted ?

Honestly one should not EXPECT anything more than 1 on 1 replacement ... BUT if Taiwan is giving compensation like this ... seems like US also giving gift cards ... so SME as OFFICIAL SAMSUNG distributor should also give some kind of extra compensation ... this is needed so that SAMSUNG can gain back our confidence

Imagine now it's only affecting pre-order ... those willing to pre-order are either fans or those who can't wait for the phone ... if you don't please this bunch of ppl ... what you expect from other "normal users" or even apple fans?

Something faulty and dangerous SHOULD be replaced, nothing to be grateful of. If they give extra compensation THEN we should be grateful ... peace .... from a healthy note7 user

edit: I mean I don't know the real connection between Samsung and SME but I'm saying the extra compensation should come from Samsung Korea ... not from SME Malaysia ... coz it's Samsung's big name on the line here .. I'm thinking a win win situation would be some voucher to buy back Samsung products ... i dunno RM50 ke RM 100 ke... we can use it to buy VR, Gear S3 or even official Cases for our Note7 (yes this means more income the other way round for Samsung too so it's kind of win win)

I saw lots of people wanna take advantage of the recall program by dunk the phone in the water (not gonna say it will damage the phone though), use it without case, remove the screen protector, change to old charger and so on.

So sad for our Malaysian mentality and low civic awareness. No wonder the operator or authorised seller here never afford to offer 90 days full refund or exchange like what people in other countries enjoy.

notworthy.gif don't worry bro this world got karma .... exactly like what happened to Samsung ... honestly during launching ... the joke about the audio jack was really uncalled for
