just a question.

someone scared of those pixels burned out.
some scare the battery cannot last long and disable many functions.
some reduce the brightness to barely can see to save battery.
some disable the AOD display to prevent burned out and some for battery life.
some disable many functions of the phone to save the few % of battery.

the question is, why do u all buy the phone?
pay so much but do not fully enjoy it or use all those functions?

my phone, all GPS, Bluetooth is always on. so i able to enjoy the full function of the phone.
my Display brightness is set to the high side, cause my eyes is more value than that battery life.
*
1. I dont turn on AOD so that doesn't concerned me.
2. I adjust my screen brightness whenever I like to ease my eyes from soreness or being too bright will hurt my eyes if i'm reading a book or whenever I'm indoor or in the office.
3. I disabled the AOD because I dont like to see the clock widget always on the display, I have my fitbit easy to reach out to check timing.
4. Disable some functions because I only need them when necessary like NFC, I wont be using them almost 99% of my time. Turning them on when needed wont hurt your extra time turning most of the phones functions on and off are easy to reach from scrolling the notification bar down.

try do not set too low for brightness, as it does more harm to eyes...

cause when brightness low, ur eyes pupil need to open larger in order to view the display.
because of this, more UV will enter ur eyes that harm ur eyes.

nah, just enough as in it's still bright enough that I can see without my eyes stressing. I wont be setting my display too low as well as I enjoy looking at nice colors on my displays

sorry for any heavy wording....

i agree with personal.
really depend how people wanna use it.

for me, i would just on all and care free.
when i need to pay using android pay or samsung pay, i just tap my phone without need to go on this and off that.

when i open map, instant i get the location and use it without need to go on the gps and so on.

when i use apps like uber, i can just open the apps a request the car without set this and that.

when i reach home, it auto connected to my wifi without this and that.

the best is, when i with my phone, i do not need to unlock the phone as it auto unlock by my bluetooth miband 2.

this is why i pay the rm3699 and enjoy use all the functions plus ease my daily life.

Everyone has their own preference but I do share the same sentiment as yours. The phone is covered under a 2-year warranty if something happens then just dump it back to Samsung. Anyway I always bring a huge capacity powerbank when i travel so I guess I'm not really worried if my devices need some charging when I'm outside.

Buy it n enjoy. Most of us change phone at least once every 2 year. No need worry things that yet to come unless it's purposely

yeah only one type, it's the same as how some USB connectors are super tight and some are smooth. I think they have a very minor dimension difference, but no worries. For charging, i do recommend using original cable, cos they are capable of carrying higher power flow ( charges faster ) and can properly communicate with the charger. Some google engineer tested some of the market brands and found out that not all Type C can communicate with charger and get an accurate power draw, and as the result, those cable will give a 5v 3A. Should be fine with our phone since Samsung flagship will always have voltage regulator on the charging port to protect the device, but better be safe about it.

Thanks for reply bro,

I used third party cable because that one just for car charger, when i come out work today, just realized that third party cable very very very tight.

AOD actually shows more than just clock. It give u notifications, date time and battery percentage without the need to wake the phone.

Auto brightness should solve the issue when u do not need it to be so bright.

Althou all the NFC, GPS, etc are just a slide down and a click away but u need to unlock the phone and extra steps to do all these hassle so i'm leaving these on and it doesnt actually consume more battery than it was already. For example, to use samsung payi just hardpress home button and slide up to scan my finger print to pay. NFC is much more easier cause i'm using it to pay transit fare in SG which i just tap my phone to the reader without the need to even wake my phone.

This is automatically activated once u plug in using a fast charger supplied by Samsung. The fast charging is displayed once a fast charger is plugged in.

Hey guys, got 1 question here,

USB type c only got 1 type right? Because I'm use my huawei type c cable, very tight on s8 (but smooth on huawei)

Then my another third party type c cable, more tight and slow charging.
*
Usb type c is proprietary if Android. So yes, all usb type c cables are the same. I do use a type c adapter on my old cables though.

no offence, but how to enjoy the phone when in the first place, already put so many restrictions on the phone?

all phone design to last 18 months to 2 years only.

nowadays, phone do never enter service centre within 1 year = lucky.
still alive after 2 years, untung already.

if can't afford, get a cheaper phone.


else create trouble to own self.

as what people say, use money buy trouble.

for battery health, this is the funniest part.
if like this, better buy 3310, can last years.

normal usage, battery like will degrade and left 80% or lesser after the first-year usage.
after 2 years, the battery is like half dead.

because the need to take care of the battery health, pay rm3699 and use only 5% of the phone function and pray the phone does spoil. really cannot brain this.

Yes this is rude...

I'm sure angelgemini was just being honest with his opinions and didnt mean to offend users here. We're all entitled to use it as we see fit cool2.gif

That said, I'm interested to see how is the performance of his S8 given all functions are enabled, activated and maximized.

Care to share bro? laugh.gif

Noticed when using battery monitoring app. The S8 charges at only 2A max compared to most modern type c chargers. My guess is either because type A->type c or samsing is playing it safe. Anyway the phone charges to full from single digit percentage to 100 using powerbank at around 2 hours and wall charger yesterday from 17% to 100% in 1.5 hours.
