check their red slider settings under Display and also dial *#15987# and see the Reddish value set at 0, -3, -6, or -9.

Most display units had their units updated already, and also the settings adjusted to hide the red-tint for those units that had it.

In Gardens during pre-order and launch day got 1 or 2 unit had red-tint, then after 1/2 weeks all of them doesnt seem to have anymore red-tint. Then when i check the settings, it appears they have adjusted it. So yeah..

My s8 was set at -6 out of the box.. can I know what is the default value should be?

Well official launch of S8 in Malaysia is very late as well. May 4th.

Worldwide was April 21st. Singapore our neighbour was April 27 or 28 I think..

So thats about 2 weeks of delay already.  tongue.gif

But those that got it on April 21st, their production date was around late March, for SME units most of the production date is April 16-20.

To check production date dial *#12580*369# and see the RF cal

Mine 25th April lol

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..

Actually what is the meaning of seal box? I bought mine from Lazada, the box itself is not seal by any plastic warp.. Only the box has a seal sticker..

So it mean seal or unseal? Lol...

If sealed. U register warranty by urself? Mind sharing me the step to register

actually i didn't do anything... once i power up the phone for the first time, i go to mySamsung app to check my phone details.. from there i can see my warranty expire date already.. So i assume it will automatically register for you once you power on the phone...

I would call it half sealed. I bought my wife S8+ from Lazada too. The box has the Black sticker cut and resealed with a transparent tape.

My own S8 from Butterworth mobile had the original seal untouched.

why black sticker cut?? confused.gif

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.
*
can add 1 more problem? my phone sometimes can't pull down the quick setting on top of the screen after unlock (no respond when swiping down).. need to turn off and on back the screen to fix..
