Well, initially they were reluctant for an exchange, saying it can be fixed and estimated to take around 2 weeks. I did not agree and had to talk nicely to them and negotiate.

In the service center, I observed there are also a number of s8 users with various other issues.

This experience opens up the perspective and possibility to me that the new phone sold by certain resellers with an attractive low price below Samsung's RRP could be refurbished units which was returned.

My phone condition is flawless and can easily passed off as a new set once its repackaged.

Here's my S8 at exactly 1 hour 51 minutes SOT as well Bro, which is why I think your S8+ should be doing better.

Edit: Turned off charger at 11pm last night, then max battery saving mode till 6am this morning.

sum1 did say before that those units doing exchange in SC are mostly refurbished units. apparently they fix the problematic units (like for e.g red-tint) then put on new plastic films and reseal the box..

my 3 week old S8+ admitted to service center liao.  cry.gif

The phone suddenly is unable to connect to the telco network to make/receive calls - everything else works fine, wifi, gps, apps, no red tint issue.

Initially thought was a faulty SIM card, so got it replaced by DiGi, but the same issue persists.

Brought to the service center, they checked and confirm its a hardware fault. The manager offered a 1-1 device replacement under warranty.

may I know which SC you went?

I disabled Facebook with package disabler pro n replace it wth Swipe for Facebook app. This app looks similar to Facebook. It loads faster and reportedly less power hungry. I use it in all my Androids.

Can i know which app is that? I cant find swipe for facebook in play store..

tried already, still having issues. You try adding your Facebook to ur homescreen. Use the app, and then hit the back button. Your homescreen wallpaper will zoom in and out in half a second. Very weird.

This is facebook issue. Wait facebook fix it. You get slide effect if you open from apps drawer or folder. I remember don't have this issue previously. It must be the latest update cause it.

For the moment just press center button lo.
