Flip cases are best protection but than some users simply hate it. It is just impossible for display be scratched with it covered . And phone always in left  pocket of pants always alone without any other stuffs.

Agreed. Which is why i use a flip case...but it totally hide the phone and not convenient for taking photograph...so which makes me wanna dump the flip case....haiz...
Maybe wanna get a Spigen tough armor but the front curve screen is still not protected...which is why thinking to get the X-ONE SP as well...

Does X-ONE SP can have some protection to at least absorb some shock if phone drop?? hmm.gif

Besides flip case is oh so not sexy at all.

Just now went Digital Mall today looking for screen protector. Want to buy the original Samsung screen protector, buit this shop say no stock and hard sell the X-ONE SP and offer me RM75 for it.

I showed him my SPIGEN Wallet flip case, he says can fit. So i agreed and proceed. After installed, the X-ONE SP apparently does not fit with the casing and will peel off.
So the guy has no choice but to remove it and i don't have to pay anything for it.

I think even original SP will also have same issue. Another shop (ori Samsung retaiiler) can't confirm the ori SP will fir either.

Useless curve screens!!!! Wonder when the curve screen fad will go away and we can all return to flat screen.

If no need pay, okla. Worth a try.. hahaha

But x one... not as good ppl claim. Im using the seamless one, fits most cases because it kind of wraps around the phone.. but alot of fingerprints and alot of finger nail dents noticeable laugh.gif

He says can fit mah. LOL.

Lucky didn't waste money on it.

S8+

What casing do you use? The problem is compatibility with casings. If SP alone, then it's not a problem.

if memory (RAM) cleaning, I would say useless... I dont see any benefit doing that...

storage cleanup and sleeping apps will give better benefit if RAM is an issue.

other than that, I see no point on clicking the button multiple times a day or once every day... any kind of optimizer is something I would ignore... just config your phone to your likings and everything should work. If it still doesn't you are using wrong device for your usage case. Maybe you want to try another device.

Agreed. Besides, i don't see any issues with apps in the memory. Android is built for multitasking, unlike iFong. tongue.gif

any cable should be ok as long its has the right types for every connector,
but i always have soft spot for Anker  laugh.gif

Read some of Benson Leung's review of the cables...really jilaka no confident liao...he even say the Aukey cable no good. But Anker he gives good review.

Anker cable jalat expensive.

Thinking to buy this Anker adapter instead.

http://www.lazada.com.my/anker-b8174-2-pac...0.0.i5P7Ni&mp=1

Benson Leong says it's gooding:

https://www.amazon.com/review/R1OEQH5IMIQSQK


It's about half the price of the cable.

hmm.gif

But what if my cable sucks??

I bet most of the S8+ users here will not able to resist their temptation to buy the new Note 8 in 3 weeks time due to much better camera specification. Maybe now is the best time to sell your S8+. biggrin.gif
*
Nah. I don't think there is gonna be any "massive improvement". Can't really improve much when you're top of the game. tongue.gif

Dual camera will only improve bokeh a bit.

And the price is gila expensive.

yup Anker are quite expensive, I get those from the powerbank but it is really durable for the past 2/3 year
there is a few different price for Anker cable,
i wont go for the expensive ones because the 'normal' ( plain black ) ones does the job too

Ooh...i just realized there is a microusb-->type C adapter from Samsung in the S8+ box...doh.gif

I huess i will just use back that...if it's provided by Samseng, can't be that bad right?

I think most of the current USB-C cables are fine since Benson Leung's "revolution".
I'm using Choetech cables from Taobao. It's less than RM20 each, supports fast charging. Thick and durable cable but a little too hard to bend. Oh yes, of course, it passes the Check-R test.

Last night ordered liao Aukey car charger and wall charger from Lazada. Wall charger comes with USB-C to USB-C cable (it has 2 USB A port and 1 USB C port). So save me some money there. Wall charger only RM99....no need to buy anymore cables. tongue.gif

yeah. hahahah.
my mistake. I guess I put Australia when I registered my Samsung Account back during the Galaxy Ace era.

Btw, anyone having problem with their Home Button?
It doesn't detect the pressure sometimes. It works now, then maybe a few hours later it stop detecting the pressure for a few minutes then works again.
In other words, it just work sporadically. I'm sending it in for warranty.

Afe you sure you press correct location? Because when the phone display is off, everything black, sometimes miss the spot. Lol.
