Reduce brightness to minimum. Disable 3G/LTE to avoid signal hunting. Use lowest resolution.
Disable all notifications.

I dont have to do all these to get a good battery life out of my S8+.

Don't always think abt urslf.

The person area may be low signal area, or some other issues.

Thats why I was telling you i dont need all those mentioned by you based on my own experience. Based on what you suggested even change to the lowest reso dafuq? Do you even own one or just blabbing about it?

Whats the best car handphone holder that you guys use? Those vacuum suction holders usually dont last long in our hot environment.

Previously use car magnet mount on my ZTE. Now with s8, I dare not to use. Worry it will affect motherboard or spoilt any of the internal compartment.
*
The magnet one you have to stick the metal plate on the back of the phone right? Seems not practical in my case since Im spotting the Alcantara case on my S8+. And ya dont wanna take the risk of damaging the internal also though I have no knowledge whether the magnetic force would cause problems.

i using the cd mount phone holder. quite stable. but sacrifice cd input, also maybe block radio panel.

Using mountek. Slot into CD ROM slot.

Will block the centre console of my car so it's a no-go. Maybe will have to take the aircond-vent typed but have to sacrifice one of the ac vents. sweat.gif nowadays a lot of roadblocks here and there (maybe Election is nearby?) so have to rely on Waze for possible police roadblocks early warning. tongue.gif

Yes.. But for closeups like what the other forummer did has 'outfocussed' the camera and the pictures become blurry. So the move is to re focus it. I do it whenever Im faced with the same issue.

Great tip. Never knew this before.

Guys i bought the pre-order set, but sms message receive states that the warranty period is one year ?

I called the service center and ask, and was told i will receive separate email on the extended warranty ? Can anyone confirm that ?
*
I just received a call today from Samsung regarding the warranty activation and I did ask about the extended warranty for the PO units, she said it will be done within 7 working days. And my phone detects the number as Samsung even though I dont have the number saved which is really good. biggrin.gif

is Samsung Video Library samsung's video player?

and Samsung Music is the music player right?

Samsung Video is actually there on the phone already, only hidden. If you use any file explorer to play some video files then it will be played on Samsung Video.

besides using file explorer?

example if i transfer 10 videos to the phone, where can I see it? like gallery for photos..
*
Then you have to download the Samsung Video Library. It's like a file explorer but only for video. I'm using ES File Explorer Pro so it's kinda redundant. For the Video app itself it's actually hidden.

Oh, then can forget it as the tax rebate is almost as much as the price difference, if not more.

But every purchase should have invoice issued for that sale. It's actually wrong in legal terms not to issue an invoice, regardless of them selling below RRP or what. My opinion on this.
