Wheres our additional usb type c cable that's supposed to come with starter kit.???

No that is charger cable.

Guys im not the only one who remembers when we preorder it said additional usb type c in starter kit right?

Did not a single person get it now?
then SME lied ah?

Hopefully. I haven't open the starter kit yet

Huh,, wireless charger should have its own cable right?
Then cannot be right, means we didn't get our additional usb type c cable.

Eh before you wanna start flaming get smarter first.

I honestly saw it on Samsungs website when they launched the pre-order offer. Not from soya cincau. Thats why im asking if anyone else remembers also

as I said I saw it on samsung website itself. Unless im high or drunk.

Im still at samsung gardens. One salesgirl talking to a customer then she said got extra USB C cable in starter kit.

then I approach her and say not inside then she was surprised and she check also dont have, then she say she go check.them come back say no usb type c. So now they denying mode. But the sales girl herself talk abt usb type c in starter kit.. but afterI told her and she check dont have now they say dont have too.


Oh well. Samsung played us I guess. Now not everyone rmbs

Im finally done at samsung gardens.

Changed a total of 4 units of S8 Orchid Gray.

my first original unit had no red tint issue, but the edge was greenish. And had scuffs near the volume buttons..

second unit was okay but it had red tint at the bottom of the phone. Salesgirl after much checking with me and other colleague on the red tint she said ok if I not happy check another unit..

third unit, opened and checked, had the most obvious red tint of them all so no go.

fourth unit, opened checked. And god damn its finally PERFECT. NO slight signs of even red tint, then went and compare with one of their demo unit and mine was even better than it. (which was quite perfect as I did all my comparisons against that demo unit)

so yeah thats my story, opened and checked 4 units of Orchid Gray S8. I gotta say props to Samsung Gardens for accomodating me. I think if i was stilll unhappy they will let me check and change till I am lol. Well Im very happy and satisfied now to get a good/perfect unit.

Oh yeah on my 2nd unit they did software update too and i was still not happy after that. The software update took like 2 hour to download cause the wifi is slow.

I went Gardens at 11.30am got home around 1 something.
Went back gardens at 3 something, now finally done 6.45pm.

Those not happy do go and exchange. The manager even told me they allow within 3 days to do 1on1 exchange, after 3 days any problem still then have to go service center already.

Good job Samsung Gardens

Not all can be fixed through software. My second opened unit software fix didnt help at all, even turning red down to 0 and selecting -4/ -6 through *#15987#, still had red tint hence I insist on opening 3rd and 4th set... and Samsung allows you to change till you're satisfied so why limit yourself to "live with it"..

I think Samsung knows its a real issue thats why they allow 1 to 1 exchange, no questions asked. Never in my life Samsung offer on the spot 1 to 1 exchange before on opening day and so lenient about it too.

*#0*#

The problem with it is because its red on white, hence its obvious. Most of the menus and interfaces are WHITE (e.g dialer and contacts menu, setting's menu), not black like past versions of android, therefore its obvious about this red tint..

and its INCONSISTENT. Some are full screen red tint, some at bottom whilst top is ok and vice versa, and some are edges only!. So how to explain that? You cant say its amoled properties when its that inconsistent, and this is my experience from opening 4 boxes only. If I open 4 box and 3/4 has some sort of red tint issue then if you look at the bigger picture, of total galaxy s8 out there.. at first I was denial mode too, but when experience it myself I know its true and hence I understand why got ppl raise this red tint issue..


anyway, in my 6 hours in Gardens I observed that im the only one there for a 1 to 1 exchange. The rest took their device and check very fast and left, most probably they not aware of it or chose the "live with it" option. So means they are happy with the device. Thats what matters.

in the end of the day, those chose to live with it are happy, and me who change change change is happy too.
