QUOTE(MeToo @ May 3 2017, 05:35 PM) Check your credit card provider, some credit card u have the option to convert ANY purchases (exceeding certain $$) to 0% installment.. yes, and some banks are so desperate that they will call you up to offer 0% installment after you swipe a bigger amount.

wow.. 422 new replies since this morning forum outage. collected midnight black and orchid grey S8+ from Sutera Mall around 11am, not much crowd, whole process done in 35 mins. That was an uncle yell at the manager for asking some junior staff to apply the SP and caused it to be not perfect coz other staff are busy attending all the PO customers. Really  no manner at all. We all look at him like he is an alien then he back down a bit and say just give him a new one, he will go somewhere else ask other ppl to apply it.

QUOTE(Radec @ May 4 2017, 04:55 PM) Extra usb c cable is in the white box starter kit. Underneath the free case. yes, it is there. I think it is for the wireless charger, not really an "extra" cable.

QUOTE(niel @ May 4 2017, 10:50 PM) Earlier read post about clear-coat can't be used with Spigen cases, which will lift up the clear coat. I have applied Samsung Screen Protector and my Spigen soft case is also lifting up the protector. Anyone has the screen protector applied and no problem with casing? What casing are you using? Thanks. Is it possible to trim the edge of the SP so that it will not get into contact with the screen? Most casing I see (Spigen & UAG) have a thicker protection at all four sides, compared to the clear case in the starter kit. So if each side trimmed 2mm, then maybe can fit nicely. Btw, tested the AKG earphone, it sounds not bad at all.  So happen I have Comply 200 series ear tip to change the silicone tips, much better isolation and bass.

QUOTE(benny888 @ May 5 2017, 09:26 AM) Why so many so OCD over the red tint ? Mine is minor and easily solve by adjusting its display settings. No big issue for me haha... I am also wondering the same. Mine actually looks like a very minor at the direct front view but if angle just a little bit from left right up or down, the red tint will gone. It is more like a reflective issue caused by the curved corner coz the reddish area only in the centre but left and right side curved area do not have the tint. By the way, aren't the red tint are what the hype now?  Even Apple also purposely put the red tint on the screen at night to help us sleep easier.  Of course I think Xiao Mi pioneer this idea, correct me if I am wrong. So red tint is good, good for our eyes' health at least.

QUOTE(Velocity @ May 5 2017, 09:35 AM) Question is do they still have stock tomorrow? tomorrow sure all gone I think. That's why I offer him to buy for him tonight if he wants but i keep the Gear VR. QUOTE(yogurt7 @ May 5 2017, 09:38 AM) even go after working hour or at 8 pm you still think got the starter kit? KL sure all gone but JB might still have chance. Yesterday not many ppl collected their S8+ at Sutera Mall. But other might collect at Tebrau City or City Square, I am not sure.

QUOTE(sharpman @ May 5 2017, 09:43 AM) guys whats the fastest way to unlock the phone. I double tap the home button then I need to swipe before it scan my Iris. Is there any faster way for the phone to directly scan my Iris fastest way is definitely fingerprint. Press the fingerprint sensor, direct unlock to home screen from blank screen.

Got a problem yesterday - I plug in the S8+ to my computer and try to copy some data from old phone into it. But after I click "Paste", nothing happen. Yes, there was a prompt at the phone to allow for the computer to access the phone and i did select allow. I can browse the content in the S8+ Phone and Card, just cannot copy to both area.
Did i missed out anything? Alternatively i upload the file to Google Drive and download again at the phone. Quite a hassle for large files.

QUOTE(propusers @ May 5 2017, 10:29 AM) the sms stated warranty until 18 May 2018. Will wait for extended warranty sms. yesterday nite just notice that the freebies Wireless Charging Stand + USB cable does not come with the power plug. So total I only got 1 power plug (found in S8+ box). Is this same for you? so troublesome need to plug and unplug the power plug each time if use different method to charge my phone. Yes, only 1 power plug. You do not have any power plug from previous devices? The wireless charges actually still using old microUSB cable. So any old devices power plug will do fine.

QUOTE(propusers @ May 5 2017, 10:37 AM) oh yeah... you remind me... thank you. I still got 1 from my previous Galaxy S3. I think S3 power plug is usable but the power rating might be lower and thus charge slower. You might need to double check on that. Those day the power plug is mainly 1A while nowdays mostly 2A i think.

QUOTE(yadea @ May 5 2017, 10:53 AM) Guys, I'll be selling off the following items to subsidize the cost of my S8: * Wireless charger * Screen Protectors(1 set) * Clear case Please PM me if interested. since everyone here have the exact same items at this moment, i think you will have a better chance selling it next week or so after the preorder and roadshow buyers finish grabbing the starter kits.
