QUOTE(Velocity @ May 23 2017, 09:38 AM) Most common issue we know and experienced is tinting affecting the accuracy if your GPS. Try it in a car without tinting. If accurate means it's your car tinting and position of your phone causing the accuracy Actually i am not using it in a car but on foot instead. My past several phones had no issues whatsoever in my car though, 7 years of the same car. Forgot to mention, most of the time it shows the opposite direction of where i wanna go, GG.

QUOTE(Velocity @ May 23 2017, 10:26 AM) if walking then mostly phone issue or setting First time facing this issue out of all the phones i had used, almost got lost thanks to the GPS inaccuracy. I tried whatever method i know to troubleshoot but nothing. So i guess my only option now is to go Samsung or Maxis because i PO mine from Maxis.

QUOTE(sendoh_7 @ May 23 2017, 10:31 AM) honestly I'm not sure whether this phone has anything like this build in or not i mentioned that based on my previous note3. sometimes when I open a compass app, it asked me to do the 'calibration movement' like moving your phone around in 8 pattern, tilting left to right etc I see. I guess i got no choice but to bring it back to Samsung or Maxis because i PO mine from Maxis.

QUOTE(Evrae90 @ May 23 2017, 02:02 PM) android pro: generally more freedom to do stuff. find it easier to share files because less restriction for apps to interact with each other e.g. sharing PDF from tiny scanner to whatsapp message. android con: micro stutter and apps might lag/crash, app ecosystem lacking compared to ios BTW, I experienced the no sound problem yesterday...YouTube/FB video plays and after 2 seconds no sound. Restarted the phone and problem still persists. Left my phone after 5 minutes and everything seems to be working fine back. Some android forums saying that the speaker is not connected properly. Hopefully not hardware issue. Settings>Device Maintenance>Battery Request exchange. U didn't pay almost 4k for this.

QUOTE(sendoh_7 @ May 23 2017, 02:40 PM) Calibrate your compass If your blue dot's beam is wide or pointing in the wrong direction, you’ll need to calibrate your compass. Open the Google Maps app Google Maps. Make a figure 8 until your compass is calibrated. You should only have to do this a few times. The beam should become narrow and point in the right direction. calibrateTried. Bounces around and doesn't narrow down.

QUOTE(yupio @ May 23 2017, 05:17 PM) For everyone that got their S8 / S8+ during pre order (4th May) or during launch (5th May onwards) I think it is time we get our Screen Protection and Extended Warranty verified. Remember, we can only get the Screen Protection registered within 30 days of our purchase of the phone. If the seller for some reason did not register it for us, now is the time to demand them to do it. Beyond 30 days from the above date, we can kiss the screen protection goodbye. Thanks for the reminder!

QUOTE(ivanchingkl @ May 23 2017, 05:43 PM) I think 1 of the reason people like maxis set is because maxis always do 1 to 1 exchange instead of send for repairing, it happens to iPhone but I not sure Samsung same or not So can we safely go register regardless bought from SME or online? No prob? Never experience maxis 1 to 1 exchange before because fortunately, all previous phones no problem. U need to upload the receipt to register it, the most important part.
