Don't like because you pay so much can only show way so limited information with led cover. Imagine unlock need to do 2 steps.

Either off password to let flip work or need turn on and have 2 action to unlock.

although it is not so practical,
but the LED light icon can be customize,
which mean u can draw your own LED icon,
that is the cool part to show off to people...

I think the earpiece got some defect. Try pressing the earpiece, some reported it works.

Sometimes buying first batch of HP will have some problems. Even Iphone also will have.

seem like not the earpiece problem,
even put it on speaker, still no sound..

some time when incoming call, the phone dont ring,
plug in earphone to listen spotify also no sound, seem like software issue..

If is software than everyone will face same problem, right? I would suggest he send in service center to check.
I had experienced similar hearing issues on ex S6e ( after 2 weeks use) and motherboard was replaced under warranty
*
ok, thanks..

but now have to wait until the problem come again then only can send it..
because the problem just come out randomly,..
even i din touch the phone, the phone will mute by himself (i didnt do any timer / profile setting)

Dont know why those of you who preordered complaining about the price drop..

fyi, after selling off my freebies the phone costed me only RM2930 rather than the RM3300 that I paid to preorder. And if you minus the extended warranty+screen crack replacement plan, its 2930-250 = RM2680. Which is way way way way cheaper than anyone can get right now and I got to use the phone since Day1 even before official launch.

Not only that, since I preordered through Samsung stores, I got to exchange defective units till I found a good/perfect unit that im happy with. That peace of mind alone is worth the "extra" price imo, but hey what extra price am I talking about when after deducting the cost I recovered from selling the freebies I actually got it cheaper or comparable prices to  some online sellers like qoo100 and lazada..
for those of you who didn't sell the freebies then you can't complain, you got the freebies and used it. Those who buy from qoo100 and lazada dont get freebies do they. The freebies price is subjective, depending on how well you can sell it off. But just rmb the protection plan itself is worth RM250 already.

i got a slightly red tint defective unit but i not dare to ask for change on the spot,
because i saw other buyer there also just accept their red tint s8..

next year S9 pre-order collection date can i go with u,
at least we can together make a mess with the idiot samsung guys...

Got my phone yesterday finally

Btw, not possible to spot any red tint issue since im color blind. They say ignorance is a bliss haha. I guess this applies to me in this case.
*
u open your S8 Settings app,
ask your friends phone open white color screen too,
put it side by side, u will know the differences,
and u are actually not color blind.. haha

dont have to create account to post bro.

Im not the only one, another user also opened 3 sets before able to get a good unit. and MULTIPLE owners have done 1 to 1 exchange on the spot, it just so happens the next set they opened they deem it good enough. tomei-r
and dozz comes to mind. < IINM dozz is the one who exchanged 3 sets.

If you still doubt me, then go and ask the manager of Gardens whether got such person who exchange units or not la on pre-order collection day. His name is Kit.

You can check in v3 and v4, but of course you're a dupe account.  rolleyes.gif

and as i've said many times before, opening 4 sets is nothing to be proud of. Its actually embarrassing.

and if all you could gather from my long post was that im trying to boast about opening 4 sets of S8 then you completely missed my point. I stress again, I'm a STRONG advocate for owners who are unhappy with their phone to go do 1 to 1 exchange. Many have done it and succeeded. Maybe if you did not dare to ask and chose to live with it and now feeling slightly bummed out that you didnt ask for an exchange and have a not so good set so you want others to suffer with you. Yeah?  whistling.gif

no matter how..
next year S9 i must go with u together to The Garden buy already la..
samsung store staff like gangster, later i ask for exchange i scare i can't walk out from midvalley d..

OLED burn in is normal
Hence Samsung move static images around to prevent it

depends..
if your AOD is at the side edge, it wont move,
this is a design flaw of samsung,
i saw many people got burn in issue already..

u can try go see any samsung shop their demo set of S7E / note5,
99% of their display unit got red color burn in mark on screen..

Slight red tint that annoys me laugh.gif so i just bring it over and ask for assistance from them, and yes, still water resistant. They did "water testing" after replace the screen.
Yeah, slight red tint issue..not much but it really annoys me.
Yeah but the red tint not that bad compared to numerous red tint pics on internet..they did mentioned about 1 to 1 exchange but no midnight black atm, so i opted for the screen change (i just love the one im having  atm  laugh.gif )
the indian lady is cute though..she speaks mandarin better than me hahaha
*
after u changed the screen,
now your screen is better than those demo units in samsung shop ?
because i saw that 99% of demo units in shop also have red tint issue,
different is how much level of serious of the red tint.

my unit also red tint problem.. but not so serious,
but still make my eye pain every each time my screen is showing full white background..

now your screen is consider perfect ? 100% color accurate?

im trying to discover where red tint, blue, green & on my S8+.
is the tint smudged or where exactly? 

[attachmentid=8846349]

the red tint actually look like pink + purple,
at the very very side of the screen,
can be at left or right or top or bottom..

dont put full brightness, put 50% brightness easier to spot..
if still cant see it,
put your phone side by side to a accurate white color monitor display,
then u will spot it..
also try tilt left right abit your phone screen angle then u will see it..

rread what i posted above

your observation is right,
same with my observation after i bring my S8 run not less than 5 samsung experience stores..

but i noticed 1 more thing, the white color viewing angle not so good no matter which category of issue,
when u put brightness around 50% and look at the screen closer,
tilt the phone left right up down, u will notice a very light red spot moving around your screen.

kinda disappointed with this generation S series screen,
if i know earlier, might as well i buy the mate9...
