they made changes without our knowledge.

From 4/5/2017 to 17/5/2018 and now its cut short to 29/4/2017 to 12/5/2018.

btw, why the whatsapp images that we received, when open it, its always zoomed in..

so annoying every time wanna look at an image received have to double tap it for it to return to normal size, then tap again to hide the menus...

no la, i have no issues with it. Just dont like it when such thing occurs.

regardless, its still 1 year and 2 weeks the warranty period that they gave. 29-04-2017 to 12-05-2017 is still 1 year 2 weeks, same as 04-05-2017 to 17-05-2017, 1 year and 2 weeks.

The issue that I raised up here was never regarding the 1 year and 2 weeks period, like all of you as long as its 1 year as stated in B&W im fine.

Now where my issue is, is why did they have to backtrack the date 5 days earlier. The reason of "shipping to our dealer", what kind of reason is that. Never have I purchased an item that the warranty activates even before you unbox the product that you're purchasing.

seems like S8/+ has quite a few hardware issues, dont know its because of the unoptimized software between the OS and apps or memang hardware problem..

These are the prevalent issues so far (can be seen on reddit and xda of many users complaining about it):
1) S8/+ glass (front and back) very easy to pick up scratches compared to previous generations.
2) S8/+ fingerprint sensor also gets scratched easily (not glass)
3) S8/+ red-tint displays
4) S8/+ camera's OIS gets stuck quite often, have to shake the phone quite roughly in order to "unstuck" it.
5) S8/+ LED dying out of a sudden issue
6) S8/+ random sounds cuts from the speakers
7) S8/+ randomly rebooting.
8) S8/+ random vibrations after unlocking the phone via hard-pressing home button. (like it doesnt register immediately when you're pressing the home button to unlock, so the vibration comes later after u unlock the phone and touch anywhere on the screen)

then there's a plethora of software bugs between the OS and certain apps.
1) edge lighting not working with certain apps
2) facebook zooming in/out the wallpaper when exit the app
3) whatsapp LED notifications not working sometimes
4) whatsapp images received when open it, its zoomed a little.

These are not just problems taken/reported by people here at LYN, its reported on reddit and xda where there are few threads on the same issue with multiple users reporting of having those problems as well. and i've seen a few LYN users having the same issues as well, so im just listing them down here..


as for me, i dont face any of the hardware issue I mentioned except #8, when hard-pressing the home button. Sometimes when hard pressing home button, it will vibrate as usual, then when the screen wakes up and you touch any part of the screen it will vibrate like you pressing the home button, even if you set all vibrations off..

yo dont worry about the 1% drop after 5 mins plugging out from 100% charging, right now just use the phone. Dont think about battery life.. I faced that before when I got my phone, a few of us also here faced it. But now it doesnt do that anymore after like 2~3 weeks of owning the phone.

It WILL improve over time, just use naturally. Some of us here used to drop 10~15% overnight (basically 1% drop for every hour of idle which is NORMAL for Android), now the OS optimized itself and only drops 5~6% when idle for the same duration of time compared to previously.

I see you keep posting about battery life and nothing else, how to enjoy the phone like that bro. As long as it gets you through the day should be fine la, dont care at the end of the day how many % it left. Serious, for now dont focus on battery life and just maximize the use of your phone. Dont need conserve here and there, dont even need use power saving options, just use Qhd+ as well, not much difference in battery consumption than using fhd+..

EDIT; and all these battery life you having issues with is only during idle or when not doing anything with the phone right? The battery life is AMAZING if you actually are using the phone.

i wonder if those are sets that got opened in the store by other customers who requested to exchange due to red-tint or whatever else..

if you buy at official Samsung Stores they can seal back those stickers, especially those Stores that have Service Center in them like Samsung Gardens. Its 2 in 1, they have normal shop and also a service center in the same place..

But yeah, these online sellers are not official Samsung outlets, therefore they have no chance to re-seal those boxes if its indeed true that these are units which got exchanged by other customers before..

it depends on the freebies.
Like mine I manage to sell of my freebies for around 400.

so my phone cost is rm29xx, and I get to use it even before official launch..

Rm29xx and now gonna 1 month since launch, the price now is around rm27xx-rm29xx but it doesnt come with the samsung protection plus plan.. if you minus the protection plan price from my cost, means its rm 26xx only...

So preorder deal is still the best, in my case.

i did not repeat it many times. This is my second time talking about selling off my preorder freebies. My first time was a long post in v4.

and well im just responding to the OP who was wondering if anyone would still go for preorder the next round.

So my answer is, if the next round can still get better or equivalent freebies, I would not mind pre-ordering.

i saw someone complained about it before just few pages back. havent experience any delay myself.

is it on the phone only>? or when you use whatsapp web?

hey man, i sold the starter kit immediately few days after collecting it. So when you posted and asked, i memang dont have mine anymore that's why I asked in the first place.

For full disclosure, I left my sales thread in my signature that time as well. So its not like i go and collect yours to sell it or something.

As you can see my thread was opened on 5th May, and 2 days later a buyer was found. and you posted about giving away yours on 9th May. So it was never my intention to claim more free items or something and I did not lie or mislead you as well. Everything was left in the open (my garage sales threads) on my side when i PM-ed you.

https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=4282022&hl=

and I wouldn't have possibly known what your intentions are or who you specifically wanted to give it to as well. You just posted and I asked about it and you accepted. Nothing more, nothing less.

did you seriously thought it would be a real deal?

edit: you can search around in LYN forum for aromachong. He's a well known scammer around here. I believe its the same person running that fb page, and a few members did digging about it and posted it here to warn people.

This post has been edited by LordDenning: Jun 2 2017, 12:29 AM

its unfortunate that till this day the scammer is still running around freely to scam others.

Even that aromachong guy who was caught scamming, can still freely post here in the forums.
I think his new account is wongchong or something. Saw ppl exposing him on /k recently

the squeeze function they keep promoting is to squeeze and take pictures..

wont your pictures be blurry or out of focus then.. Talk about gimmick

If they promote the squeeze function by showing it opening or doing other stuffs then still understandable la.

But this... Taking a picture while his hand shaking madly because squeezing the phone. Brilliant job, HTC.

of course I know it can remapped. I'm talking about the advertisement, adverts are what convince people of your phone's functionalities. In this case, it gave me an impression of it being a gimmick more than a useful feature.


and no, i'm not stupid. I clearly saw a video of a person being in the camera app and then squeezing to take a picture. and also a lot of tech youtube reviewing this device also end up doing taking picture while squeezing to show how this feature function. Like omg cant they see how ironic is it and use other apps/steps to demonstrate the squeeze feature? Opening the camera app like you said would have been better.


This is just ONE of many adverts and youtube reviews for the phone that I saw.
"Squeeze for Selfies!"

cannot be helped, you're the only one complaining about battery life.

A lot here have advised you not to focus on the battery life for the moment, but yet. If you cant help yourself, neither can we.

Furthermore, you are using s8+, the battery is more than capable to last a person a full day even with gaming involved. But you still focus on the battery drain of it when idling..

Go ahead and do the factory reset, hope you will find an improvement after doing that. If you still unhappy, guess the S8+ is not the phone for you.

EDIT:
My point is, unplugging from 100% and it dropping to 99% is real, I myself experienced it before. But what i'm trying to tell you is that, the overall battery life can last me a full day's worth of activity, even with gaming. and im only on the S8, so S8+ should get better battery life.

especially the battery life when you are actually using the phone, it is GREAT.

The battery life dropping from 100% to 99% right after unplugging may seem like there's some fault to the battery, but sometimes when its 70% and while using it takes very long to drop lower. so maybe it could just be some software bug displaying the battery status.

But if you choose to keep focusing on the battery drain when the phone is idle, you are not enjoying using the phone to its maximum..
