Is there any shop who can apply a PET screen protector in a professional manner. I have clear coat applied, and although its good on all aspects expect that the screen is not crystal clear.. When i look closer, i could be a a bit grainy. I would think thats a property of TPU material.

I have just applied TPU, one day later I tear it off, using naked screen with case only now

Accidentally break my s8+ screen today when wake up switch off the alarm.
It is just 50cm height droped at the weaker angle.

Any 1 can recommend a better screen protector & case?
I'm using the screen protector and case from the starter pack.
I don't like the case it is easy to slip.

Sorry to hear about it, mind to show us some pics?

i used to be heavy gamer too.... every minute sure got notification someone attack me and need immediate attention in the game to divert enemy away... and yet i left it 24/7 without issue about battery... lasted my about a day of usage (really needed to charge immediately after got home)....

now quit already because i find it not good for health and relationship.... because you get constant phobia of log into the game scare that someone might scout or attack you....  i even brought a smart watch for it too just incase i miss out notification of the event.... biggrin.gif

Dude 
Maxis can only tell you whether want to exchange 1 to 1 .
What else can maxis tell you? They dont make the phone.
*
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

However, in mySamsung app its warranty date is end on 17 May, 2018. So this Samsung has 2 systems to keep track our warranty.  doh.gif

If only edge when you view at narrow view then it is nothing. Since S6 Edge already got such issue and I can said S8/S8+ is the less compare with previous model.

But if on screen and especially top half and bottom half in different color then is somewhere wrong and the update cannot tune such symptom screen.

I have just a little bit at the side, not really obvious, at least my wife say it us white lol

Can we use qc3.0? I thought S8 is only qc 2.0? Can support?

Accidentally dropped the phone today and cracked the the screen. Anyone having experience sending the phone for screen replacement? I bought it during pre order thus I supposed I just need to top up RM100 to get the screen replaced?

Sad, any pic?

QUOTE(LordDenning @ May 23 2017, 09:19 PM)
not normal, let me share the variations of screens I've seen so far are:

1) perfectly fine, no red-tint on any part of the screen including the edges.

- to truly test this out, select any modes other than Adaptive Display. Example Basic Mode is the best to test. It should turn warmer, in a yellow-ish kind of warmer. NOT a reddish kind of warmer.
- Some sets that do not have red-tint in Adaptive mode, but once change to Basic mode the red-tint becomes very obvious. But IMHO this is still acceptable as most of us will be using Adaptive mode anyway.

2) perfectly fine, no red-tint whatsoever if viewed 90 degree head on, but the moment you tilt it slightly and viewing it from an angle, you will see reddish tint.

- Now dont give me the reason of because you viewing it from an angle, because I've seen demo sets in stores and my own set included that doesn't shift colour or show any hints of redness, even if tilting the phone and viewing the screen from an angle.

3) red-tint ONLY at the edges, some are throughout the edges and some are only on one side of the edge.

-(maybe this is your case) << annoying but still acceptable depending on the user.

4) red-tint on top part or bottom part of the phone, making it like a 50/50 mixture of red and white

<< the worst case of red-tint IMHO.

5) no red-tint whatsoever, but the edges are green-ish or blue-ish.

Take what you may from what I've observed and experienced. This is just my 2cents. Depending on whether your case is 1-5 and how bothered you are by it or how willing you are to accept the phone's condition.

As for me, I find 2-5 totally unacceptable. And as such I made sure I exchange my unit to one that satisfies my criteria as I stated in #1.

Call me fussy, nitpicky or OCD; but I paid 3.3k for the phone and I ain't letting Samsung screw me over in any way.. Yes I was a tough customer to satisfy when I was collecting my phone during the pre-order day, but I believe with manners and politeness, it helped me get what I wanted. Do note that I did not do anything more than just asking, and the staffs were surprisingly cooperative as well.

Thanks, mine should be 3rd scenario but not notable until I perform the led test and die die look at the edge lol

No other biometric can be hacked so easily. Just a normal cam, laser printer and contact lens.
No need to be close to victim as well.

Warning! Stop use samseng pay.

Any eye will do or must be the registered eye? Then will be next question like what pendekar asked lol
