QUOTE(shazwan89 @ May 5 2017, 11:54 PM) I'm loving it..perfect pair with original starter pack SP Nice!! Can show the front with some close up shot of the top bottom and side? I thought need to trim the sides in order to fit, else the case will push up the SP as mentioned in some utube video. I have the Metropolis series and thinking whether need to trim the edge of the SP by 2mm or not.Thanks.  |

QUOTE(blackchides @ May 6 2017, 12:29 AM) Interesting observation in point 1. I dunno if my eyes are playing tricks on me but I too seem to have notice the red tint lessening over time. To the point where I can leave everything at default now. Pentile matrix for amoled is RGBG... there will be twice as many green compared to red or blue. However most people can't see the green. They only noticed the yellow, red.My other theory is that it's just placebo effect for me from the start. I thought there's a red tint but when I show my friends (graphic designer who have a good eye for colour temperature), they don't see any redness - in fact more green tint than red in their opinion. Not saying there is no red tint issue but I'm slightly relieved that the red tint issue seemed to have worked itself out, regardless if it's just mind tricks. That's why I found it interesting that you think the adaptive display mode could be the problem solver |

Place it properly. After that make sure the screen off with red charging led on. Are you using thick case?This morning woke, saw the phone still charging at 84% but no fast charging & time to full written. Only something like 'charging'. Anybody else had same proble? I put my wife S8+ with stock clear case on first gen without fast charging also can fully charge. |

QUOTE(benny888 @ May 6 2017, 08:11 AM) Seems Samsung as Huawei is also involved in "cheating" consumers about its ufs type storage Thanks for sharing. Relieved to know mine is UFS2.1, although in practical use may not notice the difference.I checked mine and is ufs 2.1 https://www.xda-developers.com/the-hardware...-1-and-ufs-2-0/ |

QUOTE(Velocity @ May 6 2017, 10:21 AM) I like to use my phone while charging but I notice the % is going down instead of up. Unfortunately the current for wireless charging still not there yet. Anything less than 2.1A just would *not* have enough to charge while using. Just like using Xiaomi 5k power bank, at 1.5A, it's not even charging but battery draining at slower rate. Once I use the 10k with 2.1A, no problem playing games while charging. Those who think using while charging is dangerous might as well turn their phone off during charging. Otherwise it's just contradicting. This post has been edited by andrekua2: May 6 2017, 11:00 AM |
