I didn't know you can remove Google Play Music from Samsung phone. All I see was the option to disable in my S6e.

Didn't know that as well, that's why was wondering yesterday where the hell it disappeared to...

not just disable Google play music, but its not even in the phone now.. Good at least no need hide app all.

Samsung Experience 8.1 is excellent. Samsung has gave a lot of "freedom" to the S8 users. Once you reset the phone, you can choose to install what google apps and galaxy apps you want. Furthermore, you can also uninstall most apps without any issues. So far, I noticed we can uninstall Google drive, Google photos, Google TV, Google music, and a lot more!

Honestly, Samsung put a lot of efforts into S8. From now on, no one should say that Samsung phone is full of bloatwares anymore, since we can uninstall them whenever we wish to. rclxms.gif

In fact, it came with too little bloatware this time I'd say.. example music player and video library is not preinstalled on S8.

But its good that way. I prefer to install myself if I need it and if I don't need it I don't want it to be there, I don't want to have to "disable" the app then go and hide it..

wanna ask something about the clear coat, is the case friendly version working with spigen and ringke casing? and consider the price, since it's not shock proof and if using it with a casing, i can also get a normal sp and use it with casing, serves the same purpose too?
*
clear coat covers back glass and side frames too la.

and lifetime warranty, can go back re-apply SP as many times as you like.


if your current SP scrached up, you got 1 more piece in the box as it usually ship in 2pcs/box.

but if 2nd on scratched up or you screw up the installation process you gotta buy a new set right?

I'm sharing my experience here trying to claim my S8 that is having inconsistent red-tint over the screen.

I paid a visit to Samsung service center today and they requested me to leave my device for 2 weeks in order for them to make a report to Samsung and diagnose it. I was told that this is standard procedure. They also mentioned that any request for replacement or refund need to be done within 2 weeks from the date of purchase. After that, it will then proceed as normal repair.

In the end I refused to surrender my phone to them and make a complaint to Samsung Malaysia careline. I'm trying to request for a direct 1-1 replacement but got rejected. Anyone has a success story to share?

Only 1 guy claim he manage to dig through 5 to 6 phones to get a perfect phone other returning to the shop a few times but others no such luck.

I think he is Lord denning right.
*
people ask you to leave the phone 2 weeks let them check if you want to do replacement or refund right?

so you ownself dont want to surrender the phone, you cant really blame them. and if in the meantime the 2 weeks since date of purchase passes, then you can definitely say goodbye to any chances of doing replacement of refund...

as for me, my success story is i managed to change 4 units of S8, but I did it on the spot (well not my first unit as I went home first, but all within the same day)

no reason to lie as I dont find it an achievement in the first place. If any, its an embarrassment that I have to open up 4 units until I finally get a phone of the expected quality one would expect after paying RM3.3k for it.

cheers. thumbsup.gif

Guys, the service center willing exchange 1-1 unit for me but I need to return back the phone box and accessories

told you didnt I. happy for you biggrin.gif
QUOTE(LordDenning @ May 10 2017, 11:37 PM)
that sucks bro.

If the phone is still within 3 days of purchase can walk back in to the Samsung store you bought it from to do 1 to 1 exchange.

If more than 3 days of purchase, still go back to the store you purchased it from and try and see if you can still do 1 to 1 exchange, if they say cant, then ask them what are your options available, they most probably tell you to go to service center, so head to service center for next advice.

I heard if 1 dead pixel they may not allow to claim warranty or exchange, but no harm asking. At least try asking first. You'll never know if its your "lucky" day and they allow you to do an exchange. Samsung's brand image is very frail right now, with the Note 7 explosions and what not, and reports worldwide about S8 red-tint issue/screen problems which yours falls under as well, they may just proceed to let u do an exchange to keep customers satisfied and happy.

So I managed to sell all my pre-order freebies already. rclxm9.gif

Was close to taking the bait from a few forummers who trying to lowball very hard, but eventually decided to just be patient. Thanks to those who bought from me and didn't try to lowball even agreed to do COD at my location instead of me going to them.

Now to the interesting part, so I bought the phone at 3300, I sold everything for 370. My actual cost of the phone is now RM2930. and I get to keep the extended warranty + free screen crack replacement.

Comparing to the cheapest available deal for the S8 right now which is at 2770, if you include the protection plan + 250 = RM3020

or you can say the protection plan cost me RM2930-RM2770 = RM160 instead of the RP of RM250.

Furthermore, I get to inspect my phone physically and exchange with new units until I was satisfied that there wasn't any red tint issue present or scuffs on the new phone.


All in all I would say I'm pretty satisfied with the outcome of this pre-order deal for the S8. thumbup.gif
Oh not to forget the free return trip ride from Grab too.

Bought a nilkin silicon case which is thin and fit which doesn't push my clear coat off the edge at a dirt cheap price in Shopee.
you should try nillkin frosted shield....good grip and looks premium[attachmentid=8811909]

Apparently it's a common problem to all s8 phones. We will have to restart the phone to have it work again. Anyone else is facing this too?

May I know where can buy the screen protector for s8 with perfect fit?

perfect fit for what? and which cases?
you dont state out and you expect people to recommend?

anyway,

clear-coat for front back and sides protection and new version of it seems to fit the cases and doesnt lift it up anymore according to reviews.

or

Original Samsung SP if youre using official Samsung cases.

Ya me
Going to get a few sets. Just not sure which size to go. S8 is just pocket fit. Not sure if the extra inch taller on the plus will make much difference since both is as skinny....
*
the extra height will make a very noticeable difference, especially if wearing tight fitting pants.

but still manageable I guess, at least for the S8 that is..

Sorry, I dunno about casing brand , yesterday I bought a 3d tempered glass protector after installed the screen like difficult to detect my finger
*
then it depends, you have to list out the cases you're interested in getting, then only can see what SP fits it.

or if you get a SP already, then see what cases can fit it..

as for tempered glass, that usually the case with cheap TG. Only those really expensive ones in the range of rm 2xx will work as advertised..
