Battery life not really very good. S8+, 3rd day using ady.

What do you expect actually. Just curious.hehe.
Assuming 2hrs 45 mins on with 50% left. By the time reach 0%, 5.5hrs SOT.
If 100% on wifi perhaps average or not that good, if with current state mixture with 4G like 30-40% wifi, balance on 4G consider pretty good.

I've been using umobile for more than 1 year
Lives in melawati and batu muda area
For me, i can still tolerate it
Have to pick umobile due to high monthly usage, confirmed at umobile shop - my usage is about 10 to 20gb per month

Mayb will switch back to maxis if they can offer same quota-price as umobile

Same as indonesia where XL telco started price per quota war, should be thankful to umobile too
*
Celcom gold plus package offer data package at 20gb (+20gb weekend).
At least Celcom may not as good as maxis but surely better than umobile.

No need to press ler.

Factory reset and wipe everything on my phone yesterday, battery life is now amazing!

That's great!
The results based on wifi or LTE or mix of both?
Turn on AOD, BT, location, sync etc?

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.
*
I installed and used it before on S8. Working.
But now already uninstalled it coz not that useful for me.

I'm letting forummers know that there are serious faults with this "premium" phone.

Remind me an old news whereby a lady drove her Benz to Benz SC and smack her car due to her disappointment with her car.
But thus the car have a serious faults? Nope. Just too bad you got a lemon here which similar to that driver case.

Not happy just sell it off, at least claim warranty first.
After all it just a phone and quite a number of users are happy with their phones.

For mine when it was returned the battery went weird. It would charge to 100% but remain charing for a good while before the LED would turn green on the phone and wireless charger.

But hey I must warn you, apparently this isn't the place to discuss S8 faults because other people don't have issues with their phones /s
*
why so shallow mind set? lol.
can discuss but it just that previously the way you're implying that as if everyone will have the same issue as yours which is not correct.

did anyone here purchased Gear S3? worth buying?
*
i bought it when it launched last time.
certainly better than android wear in terms of smoothness, battery life, screen. lower number of apps compared to AW but not a concern at least for me.

worth? it depends on what you're looking.

i bought it just to have 1 tizen smartwatch for my collection. i treat it as a watch with extra features.
i'm working in clean room environment, which can't bring handphone inside working place thus this watch beneficial to my work also.

for health, just comparable with AW.

anyway, i still prefer my mechanical watch rather than smartwatch. smile.gif

Just installed slickwraps stealth on my 2nd unit of S8
The honeycomb version felt much nicer than it.
A bit regret didn't go with dBrand Black Dragon.

I don't have idea about Firefox PC browser.
Since Chrome for PC came into inception, Firefox consider (at least for me) as a relic of the past.
