Used S7 edge for half a day

gone back to 6+

there are too many things to tinker, I just can't get used to it

Same goes to me now. Perhaps now getting older and no much time to play with the phone. During my Android days hard reset and flashing rom is like twice weekly not to mention backup and restoring file after each flash and those trial and error time spend. I guess i can spend the time on life for better. Lol
Iphone is just plain power up and load those app needed and done. Nothing much to be done after that.

To whoever going for 256gb. Topping up rm750 difference. Why not just subscribe iCloud Storage 200gb for rm11.90?

Let say subscribed rm288 for two years. you saved rm462 and *touch wood* phone lost your photos and doc is not gone.

*just saying*
*
The 256GB will be a benchmark now for iphone users so when you resell the phone at later time it will fetch higher demand as well compared to 64GB.
The iphone become tougher to sell year over year except you try to sell at a very competitive pricing. So with a 256GB spec next year or year after the size will be preferred by user.

Ya, this would be my biggest concern, ha ha...

Anyways, I did try DiGi’s prepaid line before switching back to maxis from Celcom and have to agree it’s still inferior to maxis, even though it shows 4G. Shame they haven’t improved over the years.
*
Switched over digi since 2015 until now from maxis ( 15 years maxis user ) so far no problem around klang valley penang and johor. My house and office coverage is good as well so i do save alot compared to maxis. The good thing is i can actually save a thousand or two after this switch. Thats quite some amount i can spend on other better thing in life.

Just went and checked the 8 Plus. Can say I'll stick with my 6S Plus. Dual cam and A11 aside, nothing mind blowing.
What I do wish the 6S had was the taptic home button.

Gonna wait for the X reviews then decide. Main thing I want to see is how the battery holds up with this new OLED screen.
*
I am using 6s plus as well. Still consider on the upgrade or not. Updated to iOS 11 the device seems is getting hard to cope with the os hiccup here and there when launching and exiting app makes me just want to change the phone.
If upgrade mainly for the ip67 , faster processor and also the 256Gb. Mine 128GB almost full and extra space will be good for now as well.
Well, basically the 6s plus is still in good use actually lol so perhaps skip this year as well and wait for another year lol

my phone arrived, but i cant take, because celcom still failed to port me out from maxis.
lols feel like torture already. dammit maxis.

I have problem with porting out from maxis last year as well. Request for port out at digi for 3 time just succeeded. At last i went to maxis to fix the so called “ tunneling “ problem between my lines at sunway pyramid maxis before went to digi to ask for port request again. I am not sure also what tunneling problem they mention

i already went to both celcom and maxis like 3 times.

i thought nowadays with fast computer and stuff, porting out will be faster and could be done in 1 day only ranting.gif

I went to mid valley maxis , they cant solve it . Second time to klcc still same and last sunway pyramid and it does solve the problem. Within 4 hours my digi line activated. I have 3 line with me at that time. One principal and 2 supp. All port over to digi.

For me, choosing the Plus over the regular model even before dual lens camera is just down to battery life.

Me too. Prior to plus version I had no choice but only use Note series until the 6 plus came. The battery life and screen real estate is my main priority for choosing the plus version.

hey bros, is it me or the photos app in ios feels basic? i've copied over my old photos from note, but they all appear in my camera roll as well as the videos albums. that's kinda annoying actually. And also, my office application seems to support android better than ios sad.gif. on the bright side, the cam is awesome and also battery life. usage 8hrs 53mins, standby 16 hrs.. not bad at all. biggrin.gif

iOS photo app is the one i hate most when i was so used with android. Even now i have turn off the auto save photo from messenger to make the photo album less “ junk “ photo.
Android will create a separate folder for specific app. Camera roll is only dedicated to photo taken from camera only. Less clutter.

This round I found that silver is quite nice . Maybe the X version of silver is nicer than the black as well. This year black is so yesteryear because of 7 jet black and matte black.
Gold look a bit pink to me also so got the silver and never look back. Personally felt this year silver felt more premium

Somehow google now app seems messed up in background today and drain so much battery .
At first i thought how come the 8+ battery is draining faster compared to the first week. Quick check on the battery and see google app is raking in the top spot even thou i didnt use it.
After remove the app, everything back to normal. Anyone have similar problem ?

RM1800 is front screen? Or back glass?
iPhone 8/8+ and X the front glass replacement is cheaper than the back glass
I broke the back glass on my iPhone 8+, went to Machines to get a quote and they quoted me RM2000+ (RM2300 i think) to replace the whole phone as they will replace the whole housing. As of now cant replace just the back glass
*
Wow thats crazy price for the replacement. You proceed for the replacement ?

Me too quite liked the X because of the overall new design but if for the overall usage i felt plus is better for me because of the screen size.
Will go for X plus version next year if they launch that. Now just wondering if next year sell off the X 256GB, how much will it fetch ? I dont think its easy to sell a yesteryear preowned at 4k ( 1.9k loss ) .
I always fund up new gadget with offloading the previous one but the phone price getting higher each year make this much more harder except we can let go at 50% loss or more. Thats quite hurt to the wallet lol.

Yes experienced before on an ip7+, try to calibrate your batt or restore your phone..

Oh boy... tht was the last thing i would want to do. Takes quite sometime to restore it again. Lol.
Charging the percent wont go up but discharge it the percent works fine.
