idk i just did a factory reset and realised google play music isnt there, tried finding in play store it doesnt show up as well  hmm.gif

Oh you factory reset. If not wrong you can't get back because it is not fully official support yet in Malaysia for Google Play Music. This is the case in my previous Android phone.

You can get back by searching at internet browser and link back.

This is probably the first time I didn't see any reports on rooting and flashing modified rom on a Samsung flagship device.

The hype about S8 seem to die quite fast this time. Is it because of all the negative news about the screen like red tint and burn in or people were waiting to see whay apple has up it's sleeve for their 10th anniversary baby.
*
QUOTE(PhakFuhZai @ May 13 2017, 12:01 AM)
or is it good to say nowadays not many ppl actually care to flash custom ROM/root on smartphones anymore?
because most manufacturers are locking their bootloaders harder than ever before

let's say if attempting to root S8, its KNOX feature will be gone for good..
*
Root? It is history for me long ago. Nowadays really no point for rooting anymore, sure still got some people root it but it is very little already.

Even some customize already no need root now, for example navigation bar color change.

Me too tired of rooting phone but i root for ti backup only, if not for backup i think i wont root as well.
Been sometime since i used an android. Is there any total backup without root now ?
*
For me it is not worth just for that. Now even S8+ itself can backup apps to Samsung cloud storage.

Root lost too many already nowadays.

currently (still) using 6p,  for me S8+ is a better matching for it altho S8 is 5.8" bigger than 6p 5.7"

[attachmentid=8812934]
*
Because it is very long. That the reason why 5.8" actually look smaller than 5.5 to 5.7". S8 shall comparable with 5" to 5.2" phone.

For 5.5" to 5.7" phone shall comparable with S8+.

Hi, adapt sound is one of the bestest things I've come across, but dunno la, when use the UHQ upscaler the sound becomes "shallower"? Listening on UE9000, wired mode + built-in amp, source material Spotify extreme quality though.

You know why I compare with Xiaomi that day? Because people ask for it. lol

Actually Xiaomi is really not bad. For that price, it is unbelievable great. At least it is far better than bundle tune by AKG crap.

They do have some real audiophile review it. XIaomi headset is the one cheap not means bad.

please dont misled people.

this vary from 1 to another.

I think you the one misleading people.
Maybe you switch off the phone? or you sleep in one hour and later wake up is it.

iPhone is the only can drain 1% or sometimes even 0% but not android.

I use so many android phone and none can overnight 1% in normal standby not switching this and that off.

It's not difficult at all lah bro. Just a few steps ma. But thanks to your suggestion. I know the 'Do Not Disturb' function can stop the phone from ringing. But other than that, I also know that wifi/data/gps will drain the battery even you put the phone in Idle mode. Since I am sleeping and I definitely won't touch my phone entire midnight, then why not I just switch off those things and save a bit more battery life for the next morning, right?  wink.gif
*
Easier way just turn off the phone or flight mode. Not feel troublesome switching off this and that?

as I said, the person in the video didnt optimise anything so its playing in 16:9 ratio instead of 18.5:9, thats why it look smaller than the 6p.
*
It is not the optimise thing, how many video on earth is 18.5:9 ratio.

The long view of the ratio make the screen need bigger size to make it same size as 16:9.

This is same thing as 4:3 v/s 16:9 ratio panel, you need much much bigger size of 16:9 ratio panel to make it equally look same as 4:3 ratio panel. For example a 22" 16.9 ratio panel only looks similar size as 17" 4:3 panel.

As for this S8/S8+ which had 18.5:9 ratio panel, the 6.2" 18.5:9 ratio panel just look similar size with 5.5" 16:9 ratio panel.

Comparing with my sister new S8+.

Those with non red tint seem to have blue edges compared to red edges for red tint.

The different is the red tint is not very constant in the whole screen but the one without it is constant even though it might look over to bluish.

There's one time I could make my phone drained only 1% overnight. My ex-Note 5. I was using PDP since the first day I bought Note 5. And just for research purpose, I disable A LOT of things. I mean it, REALLY A LOT. Very extreme one. Note 5 was basically became a potato phone. And it did drain only 1% overnight. Only a few nights, then I ended the "research purpose", and everything back to normal again. laugh.gif
Not at all bro. Already used to that. It's more like my own discipline. Furthermore, I cannot just switch off the phone lah. I still need it on just in case of emergency calls from someone.tongue.gif
*
Yalo, it needs disable a lot. This part iOS really win Android.

Haha! I find it difficulty if need to off this and that. True also turn off means you are disconnect with world and if emergency can't find you.

Wonder the arrogant guy will post again or not after being wrong on so many things.
Anyhow, anyone know how to get video players to play video full screen? I'm using MXPlayer and doesn't seem to be able to make it full screen.
*
You can by pressing the button at right side play control to make it full screen in correct ratio but it cut out some.

It still the best watching without full screen. The 18.5:9 is consider weird ratio now and not much video in such ratio. Left and right in black bar actually kind of ok, at least it still look big not like top and bottom black bar that will eventually make the video looks small.

Sometimes when owners shared things like idle battery drain, it's really unclear about the duration they left it, just simply said overnight.

Things like this really hard to draw a clear line. I also can say I had 0-1% drop overnight on my S6e.

Well, firstly I never install facebook and messenger which is the best known battery drainer. I only had whatsapp and gmail. No Instagram, almost nothing. Metal Pro replacing Twitter and Facebook app and even that with notifications turned off. I also turned off Play Store auto update. Add: Even OS update also set to manual. 

What I really get is occasional YouTube notification about LoL matches, few emails from pbb card promotion, and nothing else. Usually on wifi at home.

You can't really blame the OS for battery drain when its doing something behind the scene.
*

Yup exactly. Sometimes I really hope Android can like iOS great standby time but I think if Android do this will facing same issue like iOS where a lot of things like for example not download / upload from third party apps or extremely slow when phone in standby mode.


QUOTE(eetony @ May 14 2017, 01:12 AM)
Exactly, c the photo/video in S8 is not bigger altho it has biggest screen, you do gain the extra bottom with this format. Again I'm not complaining just pointing out I prefer S8+ screen coming from 6p.
