Hi guys. If I just plug a USB type c to HDMI. Can I have the DeX experience? Thx
*
For my case, YES.

I connect my S8+ with my led monito through a usb type-c to HDMI converter which I got it online.

The converter was previously been used to connect my Alienware 17 to the monitor.

A converter could tranfrom your s8/s8+ into a dex.

But....u need to purchase the bluetooth keyboard and mouse (not wireless but bluetooth)

Wait… does it really transformed to Dex or just copy ur phone screen to the monitor? If it really work like Dex can u share where u bought ur adapter? With some awesome Dex pic on your monitor please smile.gif
Try to pm ts directly in case he didn't pick u into the owner list
And welcome to the party!

Yes, it transforms into "dex" mode when you connect the handset to monitor using the HDMI <-> usb type-c converter.

I get it from a computer store. I think S8 could transform into Dex Mode with any type of HDMI <-> usb type-c converter regardless of the brand of the converter (not verified).

By the way, I do not think that Dex mode is useful

pre order get extra 1 year warranty with screencare+ powerbank+wireless charger+ sp+clear case. Already a very good deal i think?

No offence and jst my two cents.

One can get the cheapest S8 Plus at around 2800++ which is 900 cheaper than the pre-order set.

Meanwhile, he able to get another 400 raya voucher with a total of 1300 rebate on the top of retail recommended price.

3699 - 900 = 2800

2800 - 400 = 2400

In my personal point of view,

1300 cash/voucher rebate is much better than screencare+ powerbank+wireless charger+ sp+clear case.

Preoreder customer suppose to get some privilege or discount but the truth is the other way round.

screencare (not a must to me)
+ powerbank (not useful as I have a few powerbank alr)
+ wireless charger ( i seldom use the wireless charger, still prefer to charge the phone with wired, use less than 5 times)
+ sp +clear case (not a must to me as I bought the case from other company)

Weird thing is, there's no statement date, they told me the card is "unused" and still new, no transaction after activation.
Credit limit also no deduct, outstanding also Rm0.00
there's no penyata also for it, i even check online and go to the bank itself, all said nothing  unsure.gif

I have such experiences before....but it was a retail transaction.

I advice you to approach the seller...not bank...

this happens is due to the seller have not claimed your purchase from bank...

For my case, the seller claimed the purchase after months.

they stated it at 10k voucher which is about RM4mil, but their budget is way lesser than that, is all about marketing.
*
The 10k voucher may include

SSOFFXXXX code (Lazada 400)
SSRRXXXXX code (Lazada 200)
XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX code (11streets 200)


it could be:-

5 k vouchers go to SSOFFXXXX code (Lazada 400) = 2 million
2.5 k vouchers go to SSRRXXXXX code (Lazada 200) = 0.5 million
2.5 k vouchers go to XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX code (11streets 200) = 0.5 million

In fact, the SSRRXXXXX code (Lazada 200) and XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX code (11streets 200) have been abused the most. Many of the forumers claim more than 1 time.

They are very limited number of forumers who claimed both campaign 400 + (200+ 200) vouchers because the loop bugs had been fixed right after samsung announced the 400 lazada campaign.

It would be make more sense for the following composition,

2 k vouchers go to SSOFFXXXX code (Lazada 400) = 0.8 million
4 k vouchers go to SSRRXXXXX code (Lazada 200) = 0.8 million
4 k vouchers go to XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX code (11streets 200) = 0.8 million

Dammnit la. Most of us here bought it during promo period was because of the voucher. Full of crap.
*
I apologize and admit that I claimed

2 x 200 lazada + (using the reset mysamsung account method)
2 x 200 11streets + (using the reset mysamsung account method)
1 x 400 lazada (call the samsung customer service and said I fail to redeem the voucher, samsung issues a new code for me)

using the same handset.

The reason I insisted not to reveal the method to re-claim the 1 x 400 lazada to those who claimed (200 + 200 vouchers) is to prevent the abuses again.

Anyway, the responsibility should be bear by Samsung. A few million is jst sap sap sui for a SUPER BIG company like samsung la.

I think snatch the vouchers as a rebate to cover the loses and compensate unfair treatment to the pre-order customers using @Maiden22's method is acceptable. I dint say it is right but...acceptable.

Samsung as one of the biggest companies in the world should bear full responsible for their mistakes over the bug loop vouchers claiming.

Anyone can complaint directly to SME?

I'm seriously pissed off because by right after i redeemed my voucher before 2nd of July I should be entitled to be one out of 10K valid vouchers up until 31st July!  bangwall.gif

I believe it is not that easy as the terms and conditions of this raya champagne include the following statements:-


The Organizer reserves the right to amend these Terms and Conditions without prior notice to the extent permitted by law.

Lazada reserves the right to cancel or modify any order, or revoke the use of Vouchers for any reason, including due to:
a. suspicious or fraudulent purchasing activity or Voucher use;
b. Voucher abuse, including the use of multiple accounts or multiple checkouts associated with the same customer or group of customers; or
c. Voucher used in bad faith (including resold Vouchers or use of Vouchers by customers purchasing products for the purpose of re-selling)

Lazada will not be liable and/or be required to offer replacement Vouchers, discounts, credits, cash or otherwise compensate customers for:
a. discontinued or cancelled Vouchers;
b. improper use of, or inability to redeem, a Voucher; or
c. the inability to redeem a Voucher due to technical issues.
Lazada reserves the right to change these terms & conditions or cancel any promotions at any time and without notice

oh you call the customer service?
so they only asked for the rm400 vouncher?
how fast they send the new one for you?
*
I gave them time pressure and requested them to do it within 3 hours.

(I dun want to give them enough time and space for investigation over my case)

It was the very first day Samsung issued the 400 vouchers which is tied to the imei.

I bet all parties (the system technician / voucher operators / customer service) are not ready and are not well communicated during that time and I keep claiming that the 400 voucher was not shown in my mysamsung app.

I gave them my imei number and ask them to settle it within 3 hours.

After 1 hour, I found a voucher was pushed into mysamung app.

By the way, I dont think this tactic works anymore as the system technician / voucher operators / customer service aware of this scam.

Anyone purchase the Samsung Protection Plus (RM248) package? Do you guys think it is necessary?

I would say NO.

No point spending MYR 248 for a handset insurance...

However, it strongly depends on user style la.
