Just got my hand S8+ today. My LG V10 just got into bootloop and refuse to work. A quick question, can S8+ double tap on the screen to trigger lock screen? Can I tear out the white sticker which printed the Phone IMEI which stick on the back of the phone?

Yo, thanks for all the reply. I think I need rephrase my word. Can I double tap the menu button to turn off the screen?

Cool to hear I can REMOVE the white sticker. Really pain for my eye. tongue.gif

cannot but you can install an app called doubleHome to configure double tap at home button to turn off the screen.

Thanks for the suggestion. Check the app in Play store and someone comment not working for S8+. I think I will stick it to 30sec timer, would be easier.

Get used to LG V10 UI, now need some time to get use to Samsung UI.

Btw, any ideal where to buy the S8+ back clearcoat? Thinking of go naked. The Spigen case is abit too bulky for me.

Saw Dbrand not bad, will think about that too.

If you use nova launcher you can double tap anywhere on the screen to turn off under gesture menu. For stock launcher i dont think so.

Try to adapt with Stock Launcher. If still can't adapt then only think about Nova. I did bought Nova for RM1 during the promo. biggrin.gif


QUOTE(FuNks @ Jun 4 2017, 11:59 PM)
i came from v10 too haha. u can use nova launcher, double tap to off screen, but it will affect unlock with fingerprint feature, so just put the 15 sec timer? im using it smile.gif 
btw, is there any local shop selling Dbrand? or must ship from them?  blink.gif
*
I force to join the S8 tho as my V10 just BootLoop on me Sunday Morning 0:30....don't want to go for Huawei P10 as for the scandal. Sony XZP and HTC U11 still need to wait. Then S8+ look promising and launch. Just the price abit steep blush.gif blush.gif

No Dbrand for local, at least I didn't seem to found 1. Need to order from them. You can get free shipping if your order is USD20 or more.


QUOTE(xxdooyo @ Jun 5 2017, 12:34 AM)
You can use apex launcher and set the double tap gesture to lock screen option. From there, apex give you 2 option. Instant lock, which dont work with fingerprint as you still need to enter your pin after fingerprint scan. Second is timeout lock,which turn off the screen and lock it about 5 seconds later. This option works with fingerprint scanner.

Well, will stick with Stock Launcher as for now. thanks thumbup.gif thumbup.gif

I don't think we can feel that much difference in real life for Snapdragon vs Exynos. At least for me. Anyone can feel the difference?

i was in your shoe, dilemma between plus and non plus

if your hand is not big, stay with non plus. So that your thumb can cover the whole screen for one hand typing.

I personally went greedy, and took plus for the bigger display. Now its a love and hate situation for me, loving it whenever during gaming and watching video, hate it when i prefer to type on single hand cause my thumb barely can reach the other end of the screen.
*
In your shoes once, but go for S8+ due to battery capacity.

Hate my V10's battery performance which I might need to charge it 3 times if I use it moderate and play some game. If constant playing game, might need 4-5 round. FYI, my V10 battery is in good shape just the Display and Android OS is bad in battery management.

Scare of this shit happen again so I choose S8+.

Well, 1 hand operation is kind of "in my dream" situation....too bad. tongue.gif tongue.gif

Still missing WhatsApp notifications on my S8. Only getting it when I launch the app, which is very strange.

Will either reset my phone this weekend, or list it for sale. Watch this space! biggrin.gif

you mean won't get the notification until you launch the whatapp only your will receive 1?

My Whatsapp is working as it should. Will get the AOD notification and App icon will get the Notification count too.

I don't use AOD coz I'm not used to it. It kinda creeps me out, ha ha...

If I activate AOD will the Whatsapp notification be auto or do I need to enable it? Maybe I'll try...

I can't see is related. But you can try. My whatsapp notification still working even with AOD.

this too. the two things that keeps me confused. go for better battery but larger size, or nice size but so so battery

was using c9 pro, the 4000mh battery is awesome, so im a little concern on going to a lower capacity.
but then again im always in office, near charger so should be no problem right?

urghh i dont know  rclxub.gif
ah well just enjoy your s8+, still awesome isnt it?
slightly larger battery some more

My previous phone V10, timing is really accurate. Unplug 7:30am and will last 20% around 5pm. During driving to home, sometime will left 10%. So basically is very dangerous as you might need the phone if I involve in some accident on the road and need my phone for urgent matter.

So far, S8+ is kind of ideal for my current use. Will last 30+% around 5pm.

Just curios, why you guys didn't manage to get freebie when you purchase S8 Plus? You guy paying lower then RRP 3699?

I paid RM3699, free Spigen Case, Samsung Screen Protector and 1 Campalang PowerBank 10kmAH.

I am just curious I got a nice deal or anything I left out?
