Samsung Official Store 1. Print and bring your pre order receipt with ipay88 deposit receipt and your IC card 2. Pay first but DO NOT sign the acceptance form yet until you check your phone and everything in order. 3. Check for the red tinting issue a) Turn on your phone b) Type this at your calling screen *#0*# and select LED c) You will see all white background u can check from there whether there is red tint by comparing with the demo set or other new units  RED TINT If you detected the red tinting insist to change other unit or reject. If sales person giving problem kindly show them this thread. Once you signed the acceptance form they might ask you to send for warranty OK Proceed to sign to the acceptance form d) Check for any scratches or damage on your phone. f) Check your warranty activation make sure its 24 months.

QUOTE(Cynox @ Apr 26 2017, 09:11 PM) Ok, good. Glad to have new TS taking over. We used to take turn to become TS back then in Samsung Note series official thread. New TS bring new info and new layout and will give the first few posts a refreshing new look. Wondering whether any other official thread still have this awesome tradition. I'll try to spruce things up haha   |

QUOTE(Velocity @ Apr 26 2017, 10:11 AM) if you want smooth get an iphone btw samsung sometime its slightly lag due to the animation you can turn it down. I just turn it off completelyi feel just paying for smoothness you dont need hua wei. my redmi note 3 2gb ram 16gb is very smooth i pay for samsung for the overall experience like looks +design + interface+features. most of spend nearly 50 to 70% on the phone i it to look stunning not like my ex haha QUOTE(derict @ Apr 26 2017, 10:37 AM) I heard from TBM is 4/5th May. Infact, they said stock already in but they can't release it till the said date. WiFi problem? Do elaborate I'm still thinking if i should get this phone knowing the WiFi & red tint problem. Not sure if its really software issue instead of hardware. + its like random and it doesnt happen to all units ...  QUOTE(metfan @ Apr 27 2017, 08:55 AM) Guys...what brand of sd card are you using? Can recommend me? Kingston always spoil on me, they never lastI've used kingston twice but it just won't last me more than a year... Is sandisk ultra okay? What about samsung evo plus? I noted that sandisk is cheaper than samsung but the specs are almost the same... Any advice? QUOTE(Spectre.KL @ Apr 27 2017, 11:09 AM) I have ordered mine from Shoppu. Was apprehensive earlier but then realized its an online startup from AEON and that was enough for me All screen warranty only first year, 2 year extended warranty does not cover screen replacementfor me, flat discount of 300 mattered more, since i wont have much use with the wireless charger or the puny powerbank. Deal breaker was the screen warranty only within the first year QUOTE(o0o0 @ Apr 27 2017, 11:45 AM) what time u going Sunway Pyramid ? If for in car recording, better just get a dash cam as 24/7 recording a Gear 360 file is going to be big and a hassle to clear it everyday. Plus, if 360 you're going to see yourself too in the recording, not just the road, lolhelp me to buy please.. can pay u extra abit.. u can find US people review the Gear360 in youtube, quite alot of good comment, but provided u like to shoot video and post it online.. Actually i buy it mainly use for Car Driving Recorder, coz few days ago met in an accident, now realize it important to have a cam-recorder in car when driving, so this 360 degress video recorder is perfect, when going vacation, can bring it out too.. |

QUOTE(juks @ Apr 27 2017, 11:59 AM) Ooh 11th street jst called, they want to film the lucky selected customers. Haha that's why they ask you to stay until night at your office Throwing in some gift bundle too. Anyone else got the call?  QUOTE(Wind82 @ Apr 27 2017, 12:02 PM) This round of pre-order really kinda sucks. Plus no discount whatsoever Freebies almost the same as those early birds and the worst is we only get it one day earlier.  QUOTE(buybuylaptop @ Apr 27 2017, 12:05 PM) When can we see the real phone at shops? Anyone know? Stop asking this question already, use the search function on the earlier threads, (I'll add this in the FAQ)QUOTE(Velocity @ Apr 27 2017, 01:01 PM) nope u lose 300 to 500 compare selling at garage sales. Fast sale, not profit saleQUOTE(o0o0 @ Apr 27 2017, 03:01 PM) 2500 lifestyle tax exemption for next year.. (including buying phone, laptop, book, badminton racket...) Tell me what flagship phone can sell at RM2700 after 1 year? People are selling their S7Edge (SRP RM3099) however nowadays can get RM2500 for a new one. No way you can sell it for RM2700 this time next year. Probably RM2000 maybedepend on your tax bracket.. if your tax rate is 16% then 2500 x 16% = 400 so u pay 400 lesser tax.. when s9 release, sell the s8 at 2700, 2700 + 400 + top up few hundred then can get s9 again.. then claim next year tax agian.. continue the looping until government take away the lifestyle tax exemption.. so just pay few hundred every year, u got to use the latest flagship, change new 1 every year.. cheaper than shitty Maxis zerolution... |

QUOTE(PhakFuhZai @ Apr 29 2017, 08:25 AM) Don't say like that la Lol it does bring out the oils in people's hands though the colour. I did order Midnight Black and I'm the only one that's going to be touching out What difference is the midnight black with the jet black iphone 7 anyway, many ppl killed to have one before  QUOTE(Vape On @ Apr 29 2017, 12:08 PM) P10 is like 2 class lower than s8. Try again 2 years later with p12. QUOTE(Velocity @ Apr 29 2017, 12:13 PM) sad but true compare old iphone design with 2017 infinity display topkek. He meant the physical size, not the features la  |

QUOTE(Zi-Tech @ May 1 2017, 07:57 PM) yup... in the middle of workplace and home.. Maybe ask also how many people collecting there lol, I want to ask them to apply screen protector for me suddenly want to ask using whatsapp do they provide 0% installment for 12/24 month...but not yet ask... QUOTE(Cynox @ May 1 2017, 08:15 PM) I think everyone will get the clear (no colour) bundled case, so doesn't matter black or orchid grey or gold. Most likely I will have 2 of it as spare coz got the Spigen & UAG case for my S8+ (black) and wife's (orchid grey). Let's pm if you are interested. The clear cases do have colour, it's a slight tint, there's six colours, can check here http://www.samsung.com/my/smartphones/galaxy-s8/accessories/ |

QUOTE(aruja_69 @ May 2 2017, 10:07 AM) Just wondering have anyone applied the clear coast for S8+ and use case on it. The phone isn't even out yetQUOTE(Velocity @ May 2 2017, 01:24 PM) the intention ppl go for mobile outfitter is can apply anytime and the 25% discount. 1 receipt per phone, if you change to a new phone, you have to pay for new coatingif it dont work u can apply for your other future phone . so your risk you missed a good offer. |
