QUOTE(yvliew @ Jul 6 2017, 10:01 PM) Samsung should use more premium quality stuff for their flagship. S7E fp scanner is a nightmare too. Can see so many demo unit already paint chip off.. or super scratch.. When I was using mine also.. The sides a little chip off.. Poor stuff by samsung. My s8+ within few hours.. I was wiping the FP scanner.. From wiping it already made a fine hair line scratch. I don't really know why you guys are wiping it few times a day only to complain it scratches later. Why not leave it just like that? I have been using my S6e fingerprint since day 1 and there's no paint chip off. My cousin who are using S7e fingerprint also have no problem. Most definitely is user getting too paranoid about smudges and start wiping every now and then.

QUOTE(Jay Chua CC @ Jul 8 2017, 03:18 PM) What about in phones i wonder>? But some uhs 1 card maybe faster than uhs 3 card right? Just google for review whenever searching for micro sd. Samsung Evo+ is old card. Read speed 80MB/s write speed 20MB/s across the capacity (except 256GB). Samsung Evo Plus is the newer version. 32GB read 90MB/s write 20MB/s 64GB read 90MB/s write 60MB/s 128GB read 100MB/s write 90MB/s Except for 32GB, 64GB and 128GB gets huge write speed upgrade.

QUOTE(vez @ Jul 8 2017, 06:14 PM) Evo + = UHS class 1 Evo plus = UHS class 3 some people purchase from lazada for Evo+, but lazada shipped UHS class 3 to them lol I think only for 32GB since basically no difference.

QUOTE(rosmanpositivo @ Jul 13 2017, 01:55 PM) Same here. Error since yesterday. And just tried again still says "fully redeemed/expired". I think they already stopped taking the S8 codes into the system. Because yeah, RM400 is quite a lot. IDK. QUOTE(ace-user @ Jul 13 2017, 03:23 PM) I use it yesterday night around 11.30pm, code works. Seems like they already fix the problem ady, tried yesterday afternoon it won't work also. Just tried mine... fully redeemed. I thought wanna wait for DEX. Sigh.... 31st July still quite far what. I just saw DEX on 11st but under another samsung partner. RM429 is not bad.

QUOTE(Legendary Big Boss @ Jul 14 2017, 01:08 AM) Please do complaint to Lazada Customer Service. I already did mine and we need more people lodge complaint so they would activate back our voucher. Lazada Customer Service number: 03 86011888 Just came off live chat. They said system issue and still investigating. Try after 24 hours. If still cannot, then only email code with error.

QUOTE(zorbyss. @ Jul 14 2017, 11:02 AM) I'm by no means a mobile gamer at all but I do play wangzhe (and wangzhe only) it's running smoothly and consistently at 30fps (it's locked at 30fps even I set Samsung Gamer Tuner to make it 60fps). there's minor stutter in the UI but that's normal. As suggested in the front page, I get lags and stutter for Balance Quality in the Samsung Game Tuner. Setting it to Maximum Quality does give me smoother gameplay. Hope this helps. Besides, you get this gaming-do-not-disturb mode during gaming (it blocks all alerts/notifications including the popup) and option to disable the force touch home button. Samsung Game Launcher is awesome as well, it works like Steam Library and provide a cleaner way to manage your games. It also gives you FPS counter option to check your framerates. Thermal wise, it does get warm (which phone doesn't?) while gaming. But I'm using Liquid Armor so I can barely feel it. I'd suggest to get a case for gaming though, it's hard to find a good grip with that tiny bezel or maybe it just me. I just find slapping on case gives me a better grip of the phone. All in all, never thought I'd actually use these features for a pure android person like me. 王者荣耀 need to lower to resolution. I'm using Balanced Power Saving too. It's very smooth even when I use wide mode. Usually when it lag, your internet sucks. Actually it didn't consume much battery per game compared to S6/S7. I would say the heat is minimal when I compared it to my S6 which is quite hot to touch. My cousin S7 also can feel the heat through the ringke fusion. But S8 with ringke can't even feel the heat even when I was playing while charging.

QUOTE(mrl @ Jul 14 2017, 11:19 PM) Finally got to test the AKG tuned earphone.... the reviewer I read before saying this thing lack of bass seriously need to get his ear checked... sure, it might not be audiophile level but my listening with extreme quality on spotify is nothing but enjoyable.... comfort is awesome, it's light and fit very good in my ear... sound staging might not be great but expected for an in-ear config... I'm actually considering using this instead of my bluetooth earphone for everyday listening, granted my bluetooth earphone (Awei A880BL) is not exactly even in the 'good' category... I would rate the audio quality on par with my previous Xiaomi Piston, but the comfort is better making this actually a more preferable option. Come and check my ears then. LoL Your need for bass is so low compared to most of us.

QUOTE(Explictz @ Jul 14 2017, 08:10 PM) Guy, last month i got a s8 for my gf using my credit card for 0% installment. But weird thing is, there's no bill/record for it, i called and asked the bank about it and they said no record. I went to the bank myself with the purchase receipt and the bank can't find any record. they said i might used other credit card for it but i only have 1 credit card. Free phone? i dont think so..i wanted to pay for the phone but they are not accepting my payment because of no record. I thought instalments memang no record one? Just the credit limit deduct only.

After I shared the Samsung Dex here, now sold out. Too bad can't use Samsung coupon to buy. Even with 20% discount, still RM3xx.

QUOTE(dingz @ Jul 15 2017, 07:42 AM) this is what i got from lazada CS. they are blaming Samsung for the voucher [attachmentid=8967535] This is new. Quite possibly those guys (like Maiden) abused it like crazy. When Lazada billed Samsung at the end of the month, it shocked them and decided to pull the plug.

QUOTE(suns8630 @ Jul 16 2017, 12:16 PM) hello ,, with the trade in value of max 1650 ringgit . ( S7 edge ) I wonder what is the reason ( gimmick ) behind this promotion .. 1) Samsung value customers ( S7 edge ).. ??? 2) Samsung tactic of keeping old customers.. ?? 3) Samsung is being very generous ..?? 4) Samsung is afraid of other brand will kills the S8.. ?? anyway as a consumer , I would take this offer of trade in .. to change to S8 cheers Not quite. S8 price on Qoo10 show you why Samsung came up with this promo. No point paying 700-800 more when they only offer you extra RM500 trade in.

QUOTE(David83 @ Jul 16 2017, 05:01 PM) 5 swipes. There's a cooling period of 10 mins between each swipe. It needs to be captured by Samsung Pay apps; do turn on your data/WiFi. Doesn't need to be NFC/Wave. Only have MBB credit card... even that I'm looking to cancel already.

QUOTE(Parasite85 @ Jul 16 2017, 09:04 PM) 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. At least you got the balls to admit unlike Maiden who not only abused but shared the code in Lazada thread. Perhaps he did that on purpose to hide himself or just to create a chaos for Lazada to fulfilled the orders. I believe the mass bulk of that went to the RM200 11st n Lazada because almost everything was sold out in those few hours. I believe the amount involved would be huge.

QUOTE(silrave @ Jul 18 2017, 08:02 PM) need samsung staff price to get samsung other product XD Depending on what you are trying to get. My sister works in SME and what I can say is that most of the item being offered is not that cheap anyway when compared to outside. The only exception was the Galaxy Tab S3 which I hesitated. It was going for 30% off retail price. I could not convince myself to buy a Snapdragon 820 for 2K++. The other cheap one was the robot vacuum which I bought for RM1.8K compared to outside price of RM2.4K++. Other stuffs like a/c or tv not really cheap most of the time. They dont really offer new stuffs, but when they offer, its usually after few months whereby outside price already falling. Their offer still RRP minus 20-30%. LPPL I would say. Oh, they even need to charge delivery... hahaha, funny right? Work in Samsung but item can only be delivered via postage for additional charges.

QUOTE(xisan @ Jul 19 2017, 11:39 PM) I will reconfirm later whether it still void even if we send to repair in SC. Why would it void warranty? I repaired my S6e screen at Samsung SC and iirc, I was told warranty still valid. Heck, they even have warranty on the replacement screen.

A brand new gear s3 with full warranty only cost me around 1.2k http://www.11street.my/productdetail/samsu...sic-sm-30584198Btw, I was jst asking because I already own a Huawei Watch (black stanless steel version) The cheapest was around 1.1k few months ago. I thought it will drop further but it went back up.
