It allow you to for example listen your music from Music player at Bluetooth connected device and others notification from phone loud speaker.

Using this function can prevent interruption to your listening music.

You can find it in the Sound & Vibration option and scroll all the way down. Have a test, useful feature of the phone.
Yup the only phone currently that has the funtion. Hopefully future updates would enable multi apps selection or maybe they would reserve it to the beasty Note 8? tongue.gif

Don't in Note8 la, I not feel to change phone again for now. Haha!

Better Note8 come lessor function. Haha!

For case, temporary will use ringke onyx for daily usage while waiting for uag to reach. For dress will put on the alcantara case.

So far had used dbrand hyperblack and slickwrap honeycomb all stick on surface until I peeled if off. Just ensure proper and clean installation. But for pixel due to it wrap the surrounding body, if drop without case at corner can caused peeling

it's due to bluetooth 5.0. so far only s8 has it. bluetooth 5.0 have enough bandwidth to stream to 2 devices.

Oh, thanks for the article. Actually I dunno la, Bose apps can let you pair to two Bose Bluetooth headset and play simultaneously and it not required Bluetooth 5.0

This make me feel like maybe Bluetooth 4.x already can just it is not officially support.

impossibru hahaha

I always see note 8 as Samsung's "true" flagship phone actually haha

pioneer rumours include dual camera, the fingerprint sensor beneath the screen and the usual spen upgrades. design however i think they would stick to the s8 design
*
Haha! See how 1st lo then, wait for S9+ maybe. biggrin.gif

haha honestly for me..i have never considered the s series b4 (and have never used a s series b4) its either the note series or iphone depending on which caught my attention at the time of launch.

note 7 caught my attention like a forest wildfire, too bad it is ill-fated. now waiting for note 8/iphone 8
*
I only start S series since S6 because S series since S6 always bring something wow and I can't stand on it. Note series wise always is enhance version of S series. I buy all except Note7 where I fail the pre-order but I am actually very thankfully to it now. smile.gif

Do u means don't use smart switch or apps to restore or don't use Samsung / Google account to restore (or sync) ?
Or both lol

I always setup phone as new. I don't restore anything from previous history backup from anywhere else. Those WeChat and WhatsApp history do restore la.

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

Actually I most miss is those Marvel themes, I do email Samsung and they mentioned those is for S6 / S6 Edge before. Means those themes is gone forever once you change phone.

I just found out another way to make the phone much smoother.

Turn on Developer Options - Enable Force GPU rendering.

Hi all, wanna ask if any has this experience?

When you hp is fully charged at 100%, how long does it take to go down to 99%?

I realise that my unit go down to 99% quite fast. But my previous phone ZTE, could stand for at least 30minutes before going down to 99%.
*
Within 1 minute or less I think. I also notice this. Haha!

It will make some apps smoother because some app developers did not put the GPU rendering into their apps. For example, colordict. It got stutter all the time. After I opened Force GPU rendering, the app became smooth like butter. biggrin.gif

The only thing I worry about is the battery usage. There's 2 different theories on the internet. One said it uses more battery life because it uses extra GPU power to smoothen the process. Another one said it saves battery life because it uses lesser CPU power hence saving battery life.

So far I have tested a few times by on and off the option. And I cound't find any difference in term of battery life. How about you bro?
*
I always turn on this when phone not very smooth in animation. Actually so far I find no impact or saving the battery life.
