Went to Pyramid just now. Some of the display units at the road show has minor red tint.

Heres what I feel. My device has moderate red tint meaning that the top half has red tint but not too bad. This can be reduced.

1. Turn on Adaptive Display. Over time this seems to correct the redness till very low or none left.

I think using *#0*# sets the display filtering to basic because suddenly the redness becomes very obvious.

Adjusting the *#<long number*# setting seems to make the screen more red or more blue which is not to my liking. I left it at default.

Adjusting the edge coolness/warmness seems to make the edges too blue or too red. I left it at default.

Now I'm wondering if I should exchange until I get a perfect display or should I leave it since its not too bad and doesnt really bother me?

Seems Samsung as Huawei is also involved in "cheating" consumers about its ufs type storage
I checked mine and is ufs 2.1

Happened to me on the first day..Charge stuck at 86% for almost 1 hour

At first it stated how long the charge would take..After it got stuck it doesn't state the time to full charge anymore

I use the wall charger and type C cable given in the box

Same. I was using the free samsung power bank and it was stuck on that from my drive home from klang to subang. Reach home and unplugged then plug back in and it charge till 91% then powerbank finish battery.

Hi all, I just got my s8+ this afternoon and it is gorgeous.
But I found that my phone screen always on even it's lock. I know there is a function called always on display but is it normal that the background light also always on?
I did Google but no idea whether it is normal

Amoled only turns on the necessary pixels unlike normal LED where it turns on everything. Some people say use dark theme for everything can extend the battery SOT.

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.

The s8 follows quick charge 2.0 specs, u c their product page and power bank it's all same as s7.

So if I use like nexus type c charger it wouldnt get the benefit of faster charging?

hey all, whenever i pair my device bluetooth stream music in my car,
1) hard press home button seem to bypass the biometric and pattern unlock
2) if press power button also the same..

why?
*
Should be due to u setting it as trusted device. If phone pair to trusted device then bypass all security to unlock. Good for if ur driving. Can straight press home btn then "Ok Google".
