Synced mine to Suunto Traverse. Notification works well except caller shown as Unknown Caller. Unlike my Note 5, it will display caller name as long as the the name is saved under Contact.
Will try to update my Suunto firmware.

Im still in awe at the fact they changed the screen, but really glad to know that

Btw my friend just got her S8+ on Monday, at first i noticed it got the red tint issue slightly but i didn't tell her that time, didn't want to spoil her joy of having new phone, since the warranty 1 year so later on can claim, but then today when i checked again there's no more red tint, the screen just as good as mine, is this mean the issue isn't permanent or it can happens to any S8 later?🤔

I finally figured out how to change LTE band with S8. My earlier complaint about the gaming lag is not due to soc overheating like I initially claimed. It's due to this LTE band selection. It only affect Maxis user since they are the only one with two band (not sure if digi,celcom etc still stuck with Band 7 @2600MHz).

Maxis operate on two 4G band aka band 3 (1800mhz) or band 7 (2600mhz). Normally it wouldn't cause any issue especially when you're outdoor. But when indoors, it really matters. It's alike the situation with dual band router. Lower frequency number gives better wall penetrating while higher number give better speed. The S8 seem to prefer Band7 for whatever reason.

First, dial *#2263#. Then select your sim (stack) for your data. Then go to band selection and make sure automatic is selected.

Next press the 3 dots and back to go back to previous menu. Now goto band disable>LTE. Press reset. Then you will see an asterick for each band. Untick for everything EXCEPT BAND 3. Once you're done, you can end it. You'll most probably noticed your indoor 4G signal improved somewhat.

You can check before and after result by using *#0011#. It would show you the band it is using and the signal strength. Lower number is better for signal strength.

Also take note that you don't need to do this if you're getting 4G+. 4G+ will use more than one band, therefore it will be using both bands.
*
After select *#2263#, there appear sim 1 & sim 2.
Whats the difference between this two? Scared i salah tekan then my sim something wrong later

Tip top service from samsung cs at seri kembangan smile.gif they changed my screen and no more red tint

good job. thumbup.gif

Thats why I keep saying, if not happy just go request for 1 to 1 exchange or if you've exceeded the time frame (3 days) go to Service Center and get them to fix it.

Its a hardware issue, no amount of software "fix" is going to ever truly fix your screen.

Those who didn't experience it first hand will be naysayers and tell you not to waste time or tell you that the SC wont entertain you, but for those of us who have experienced it will know that they are surprisingly cooperative regarding this matter..

I think I repeat this like a million times already lol. sweat.gif

S8 is dual sim. Select the one with Maxis sim. Sim 1 is the bottom, Sim 2 is the one which can swap with memory card.

If fast charging, then yes. Even though the phone display fast charging, it may not be using fast charging at all. Fast charging only activate when phone battery really low. When it really fast charge, you will get 30-40% charge (depending on your battery size) in 15 minutes.
