Nice. X-One is a recommended brand for their tempered screen and camera protectors. Only issue is I hate applying the camera protector because its hard not to get fingerprints on it. sweat.gif

Thanks - I guess from Lazada choose the local supplier and not the ones shipped from overseas
*
Yes. Better look for those that states Local Manufacturer Warranty which means original Malaysia set.

Is your sim card a VoLTE enabled one? Go check with your network provider.

how to activate VoLTE on digi network?
*
In the first place, get the latest Digi LTE simcard. Second, get CS on Helpline to activate it for you.

QUOTE(ceras @ Jul 17 2017, 06:11 PM)
Just checked with digi chat. Says volte not yet available for s8 only for s7 edge. Is this true??? Sounds strange that s8 is not covered
*
I've had the VoLTE on my S7 Edge and now on my S8. Looks like Digi chat personnel dont even know his stuff. laugh.gif

Hi everyone, I have a question here.
The s8 sold in malaysia and pasted a sticker said south east asia SIM Card only.
If Im going to outside of sount east asia, can i use the SIM card in that particular country?
I saw somebody posted on samsung fb saying that his SIM is locked @@
*
You just have to power it on the first time using a SEA simcard. After you can use whatever sim cards on the phone.

guys, how was your standby for S8+?
I lose 10% for about 7 hours.

I think thats fair enough. If you disable Facebook and whatsapp, it will even last longer. tongue.gif

I'm thinking to switch to Facebook Lite. I'm already on Messenger Lite. I'm used to get like 2-3% drops during my time on Nexus 6P.
I guess AOD is the culprit for bad standby time.
Let me turn it off tonight and see how it goes.

Bro.. trust me when I say you will be urm... lets not say it in this thread. Im a long time Samsung user as well and I have tried a host of other flagship android phones as well. All I can say is battery drain on the TW is still very apparent even at the S8/S8+. The positive side is TW provides a host of features that are unavailable on vanilla android phones. There is a reason I still have the OP3T as my daily driver besides the S8+.

Yes on mobile data all time. 4G+ with around 2-3 bars. Location on, sync on only. Everything else off. Wonder why "android system" CPU total time very high. What cause it?
*
Because android system is working constantly in the background all the time and hence the CPU total time is high.

Mine naked since mid may . Tested the supplied Samsung SP but took it off after less than 2 weeks. My phone is in flipcase and seriously I dont like having any SP on all my phones. I had been warned zillion tines that I am taking a risk. Well I had never had any hairline scratch for past 8+years on all.my phones. Some users even go to extent to protect camera n finger print ??? Seriously just unbelievable to me!!
*
Yeah. Even the original SP that came with the phone package is not really putting well with the curved screen. Mine is peeling after 1 1/2 months.

Thats the thing. I really regret I preordered my S8+ at full price now. My friend got it at slightly less than Rm3k not long after launch. Makes me think twice if I would still preorder the Note 8. sweat.gif

the best deal last time is the s7 edge, 20% discount during pre-order..nowadays this kind of deal extinct dy  innocent.gif

Its because even without discounts, the phones were already sold out like hot cakes. Both the Note 7 and S8/S8+ exceeded sales expectation. Dont expect any discounts for new launches in the future.

Nah, don't be bother by others man.
I was on stock/near-stock Android for years. (Nexus 5, OPO, Nexus 6P etc)
This is the best Android phone I've ever used. Period. It's really the best overall package. If the UI can go near pixel-smooth then this is pretty much the killer of all phones.

I wanna sell it because I want Note 8.  rclxms.gif

Someone offering to sell a sealed brand new set of S8+ at RM3.1k at marketplace now. There is another used set at Rm2.5k. Letting go now sure is going to be a pain in the arse. sweat.gif

-S Pen - u really using it? YES
-Larger Screen. by 0.1inch Easier on the Eyes
-Better Camera - extra tele camera only. Better pictures. Yes.

Extra weight, Not really since there are rumours it is going to be thinner.
