QUOTE(angel-girl @ May 31 2017, 11:46 AM) the root and custom roms are real! haha .those were the days. i never thought of rooting s8.  Those were the days when after installing custom rom, I would be swearing and sweating at the same time because the modem wont connect or the dialer wont work.

Note 3 was good in the beginning. 6 months down the road I had all sorts of problems with it. Battery drain, software issues, Overheating, etc. It was a half-baked product then, but I certainly would not call any Android flagship a half-baked product now. The ecosystem is just a matter of individual preference.

QUOTE(aaron1717 @ May 31 2017, 11:48 AM) in a way the touch wiz back then reli still need improvement... the good thing of note series over the iphone during that time is the battery capacity and s-pen... haha... rooting a phone is a must during that time just like most iphone users jailbreak their iphones... haha... but then seems like alot of the android phones going back to as close as the basic android version already.... which is a good thing nowadays... TBH, after returning my Note 7, I went on to try the OPO 3 an OPO3T and I find that their Oxygen OS (which is quite close to vanilla android) is actually quite good in terms of fluidity and performance. Of course you dont find as many features as you do on TW but hey, it gets the job done and most importantly it is smooth as silk. That is why I still have my OPO 3T with me as a daily driver.

QUOTE(TOMEI-R @ May 31 2017, 11:45 AM) Because u are an android fanboy.  But honestly speaking, the android ecosystem was really weak then. We had to root our phones, install custom roms and stuff. With android nowadays, I dont even bother. I have even forgot how to root my phone already. Are they mad? For f@cks would I wanna trade my S8+ with an Iphone 7 + and with top up of Rm 2.5k somemore?  Yala. Add another 600 i can buy another s8plus  ..qoo10 proce 31xx oni. Haha

QUOTE(attw @ May 31 2017, 11:39 AM) That's really strange. It's like a 1% drop in standby in less than 5 minutes? Mine doesn't drop that much and it's a regular S8 and not even an S8+. Ya, doze like didn't kick it. I'll use gsam battery to monitor app usage.

QUOTE(haziqmck7 @ May 31 2017, 11:41 AM) Ya. Imagine one of them ask for trade their 7plus with my s8plus. Then i need to topup 2.5k. What the....talk of over valued Your listing drew my interest bro, I would have considered had I not gotten myself an S8 already  Still not sold? QUOTE(TOMEI-R @ May 31 2017, 11:36 AM) Yes, non believers especially Iphone fanboys would never believe how far android has come since their note 2 note 3 times.  Ya, everyone should really have both iOS and Android devices and keep a balanced view of both, ha ha...
