he is just butthurt..

pay full price to enjoy the phone earlier than the rest, but butthurt cause now price dropped.

then further butthurt cause he "pre-order" but didnt pre-order from SME, so no screen crack replacement for him..
Maximum stupidity. Own carelessness, now crying that Samsung sucks.. LOL  doh.gif

And his phone felt down from what he said said stupid wireless charger which I think his stupid careless and mistake also a contributing factor. Lol.
That's why butthurt so much. Sometimes people spend too much beyond their mean capabilities thus easily felt butthurt.
Only iphone have good second hand value, the rest nope.

If use CIMB CC, best to pay using USD. There is a cross border charge of 1% if u use MYR as the payment currency. If your value is minimal, u won't feel it. But for an expensive item, 1% is alot.
*
i see. thanks for the tips.
i saw total cost at USD 7.40 but charged at RM33.24. perhaps that's the cross border charge. next time will in mind.
thanks.

you do know that quick charge is different from our s8 fast charge right?  sweat.gif

Yerp very well aware and it's not an issue.
QC 3.0 charger is backward compatible with QC2.0 setup which S7/S8 used it albeit rebrand as other name for uniqueness sake.
Cheers.

My midnight black with dBrand black dragon skin.
Much better than slickwraps slate skin.
This black dragon provide better grip than slate. The texture felt more prominent compared to slate; comparable to slickwraps honeycomb skin.

Today installed with X-One v2 seamless series sp on my midnight black s8. Previously used the v1 version which only last like a 2-3 weeks before start to have lifting issue. Before Raya holiday I had removed it enjoyed using the phone without sp. The glass and the oleophobic coating really felt great but make me felt a bit nervous whenever handling the phone. Haha.

Saw got forumer mentioned v2 X-One performed better thus decide to give a try. It wrapped around phone side body and covered the back part a bit. I sticked my dBrand on top of it used hairdryer to make dBrand skin some sort melt and blend with it.

Tested with various cases that I had, all without issue including Ringke Flex Black Onyx which gave lifting issue on v1. Spigen rugged armor also compatible.

Noticed with UAG monarch after install the sp, the power button felt a bit stiff. Perhaps due to the sp wrapped around the body which hinder clearance for the button tactility. But nevertheless not a big deal.

Some people may asked why not clear coat; I'm using clear coat on my other orchid grey S8. It just to have variety for comparison sake.
For me, X-One v2 provide better feeling when scrolling compared to clear coat. Not as rubbery as clear coat.
For value for money, clear coat still the way to go for lifetime replacement. For my S8, which installed with v2 X-One, when it's time to replace the screen protector (nail mark, scratch mark etc) it may caused replacement for the backside dBrand skin also.

Both sp have some rainbow / grainy effect.

Anybody tried this,
miracast

Will it work?
*
I'm not sure really necessary or not because if you're using modern smart TV, usuay already came with miracast support thus can cast directly to the TV. I maybe wrong though.

Tested with Samsung TV no issue while for mate 9 to Samsung TV, I'm using all cast app to cast phone content to the TV.

Do using packagedisablerpro can significantly increase SOT?
*
Based on my personal experience, nope / not significant but can allow you to have more ram available for your usage.

For me, even when uninstalled FB/IG and replaced fb messenger with lite version, the outcome not significant.

Perhaps other people may have different opinions though.

You from Penang? Where do you buy? I bought from Lazada but don't know where to install. Scared to DIY since my house is dusty, one moment you wipe clean the next moment you want to apply the SP dust already there.

I bought from mobile care in Sunway Carnival mall. Same row with Samsung/Huawei/Thundermatch outlets.
RM65 for seamless version. But mine don't have back part, it only came with front portion.

The one posted by another forumer shows the packaging have "front + back" sticker while mine don't have. Not a deal breaker for me coz using skin.
