Oh. Fast charging wireless original samsung? haha.. why u sell so fast.. but im not sure if the older ones support note 8? Or it doesnt matter?

QUOTE(ravenlost @ Sep 30 2017, 09:30 PM)
Got it even before my phone arrived. My phone is using otter box defender case. So only can charge while laying flat. Charging is not as fast as using cable even though it says fast charge
*
Eh? Wireless not consider fast charging? ohmy.gif

for sure it is support
wireless charging maybe will lose some power while transferring and the case is also another layer of blocking

Ah.. As what ravenlost mentioned below. haha..

QUOTE(yokoloco @ Sep 30 2017, 09:48 PM)
fast charge, but not as fast as direct charging it via cable
*
As what ravenlost mentioned below. haha

QUOTE(ravenlost @ Sep 30 2017, 09:53 PM)
If you do some reading or YouTube a lot review saying wireless charging only at 1.4x fast charge. I noticed the difference when charging with wireless one compare to Samsung power bank free gift

Wireless charging take more than 2 hours to fully charge from 25%
*
Oh. 1.4 times only? Oh no. My cable is charging usually when my battery is at 15% it takes 1hr 30mins to fully charge. Wireless charging take so long.. Might as well not use at all. hahaha.. But what about the latest ones? Same or different? Should be a slight upgrade I suppose? haha..

if you have time or will be sitting in the same spot lest say the office for long hour u can use those as i've remained my cable charger in the box since day one, still using the wireless charger which I bought for the s7 edge before this. biggrin.gif

most of the time i'll be on web whatsapp so can just leave the phone there.
*
Haha. Usually will be charging at night. Afternoon/morning i use my powerbank, if i need. My work requires me to walk often, so i wont bring the wireless out at work. If old one can work and not much difference in charging speed then i can save a hundred bucks and buy a 2nd hand one..

QUOTE(aaron80 @ Sep 30 2017, 11:44 PM)
i want to avoid to use the cable as much as possible, plus i am normally charge phone at night at home.
When at home, i use facebook, whatsapp, wechat, etc in PC
So no big deal to leave the phone on the wireless charger, i am not even look at it while charging
*
True. Same here. I usually charge at night. I dont play my phone during work, only occasionally check whatsapp for work and browse fb during lunch time. By evening I will still have at least 30% battery. Which is still good. Considering my note 4 with new battery installed can still have about i think, 50% battery, didnt really notice as I dont play much with my note 4 anymore. hahaha.. too used to it. only browse chrome, fb and whatsapp.

QUOTE(Robin Hood @ Oct 1 2017, 12:27 AM)
Samsung sell it around rm200+ or u can buy online and get it half that price or like some has suggested, u can redeem your Samsung pay points for a wireless charger, but remember offer only valid untill 31st of December.
*
Yeah, I saw, RM279, compatible with S8/S8+. And I also saw the new 2017 edition, RM339 that one, comes with convertible stand. Haha. Damn tempted to buy that. But RM339, already spent like RM500 on 2 cases and one SP. RM249 Clear Standing Cover, RM119 some SPIGEN case, and RM99 Spigen SP which came out about 2 days ago after i dropped my phone. rclxms.gif lol. And I dont have a CC, and all my debit cards are not supported at the moment, I do have MBB, but its for work, so I wont use it for samsung pay. ahaha.. Oh well. Wont get a CC anytime soon as well.. So yea.. haha.. I saw lazada a lot, less than RM100 also got. But not sure can be trusted a not, selling price RM159, they sell at RM79. lol. I saw a few original ones selling at 259 i think. Haha.. 259 might as well go to samsung store and buy lol. nearby my house got samsung store. haha..

Btw, guys, the HAO SP must go their shop do? Can I order online and install myself? RM180 is expensive enough.. sad.gif

i have CC from 3 banks, debit card from another 3 banks but non of it supported by samsung pay  rclxub.gif
*
ahaha. walao. even worse than me leh. But it'll take quite some time to enable most CCs from the banks. As the banks need to earn money also from the app. It'll be in the following months i suppose.. haha.. Now CC only accepted in Maybank. And debit also maybank.

Already got comparison between note8 and iphone8 in real apps speed test, note8 losses to iphone8 2 seconds in opening 20 apps for first time, iphone8 losses to note8 nearly 8 seconds in reopening apps cached in RAM. Camera wise, excepts iphone8 new potrait feature, Note8 wins in all aspects. Note8 is a trully beast...
*
I watched most of it already. The best is to wait a year and see how my note 8 is. haha. I dont think it will lag. Cause my note 4 lagged after 1.5years of everyday using. I hope note 8 can last more than 2 years before lag.

Im afraid there is no "non scratchable " screen (If there is such a word). A screen protector functions to prevent light scratches/ hairline scratches but not from drops. If you drop your phone from a higher altitude or if your phone screen hits a wrong spot, the screen will crack too no matter what kind of screen protector you have on the phone.
*
Yeah.. Most phones are the same. I applied TG on my note 4, dropped at the side, all crack, even the TG cracked. lmao. So yea.. Its better to get a case which covers your phone entirely. Like a flip case. In case you drop it, it will hit the case, not your phone.

Hi guys, any recommendations for car mounts that are stable enough to support the weight of N8?

Currently looking at magnetic based mounts as they are less conspicuous and doesn't require sticking on the dashboard. I have had bad experience with the mount coming off from the dashboard when car is parked outdoors & the worst happens when the weather is extremely hot.

Interested in Spigen or Aukey options but I'd welcome any cheaper alternatives without compromise in grip. Using the N8 with liquid air case whenever I'm out of the house so the mount must be able to handle the weight of the phone plus the case. What are you guys using? Would love something that allows for both landscape and portrait mode.
*
Oo. I experienced some issues with my note 4 when I used a magnetic holder. One part of the screen cant work with the spen anymore. Now Im not sure. Haha. Anyone experience similar issue?

Yes. No matter which generation of Galaxy Note, the S pen issue will happen once you put the phone in a magnetic holder or magnetic flip cover. I kena once when I bought 2 maganetic flip covers for my Note 5. Money wasted.
*
Oh? Buy my current original cover also got magnet. S View Standing cover i think mine is. haha.. Previously my note 4 using the S view flip cover. bought it at 249 hahaha. now 199 fukin expensive sia hahaha.. one part of the screen cant use spen?

Oh I forgot to mention this. The official cover won't affect. Samsung made those covers on their own. Of course they won't disturb your S Pen function.  Only brand cap ayam magnet cover will affect.

And yes. Only one part of the screen won't work. Depends on where's the magnet spot located.
*
Ya wei.. GG sia. Damn sad my note 4. sad.gif Now repair RM850. =-= But then now screen also crack ad. hahaha.. So its sitting inside my drawer. hahaha.

bobowyc Did the s-pen stop working on that part of the screen permanently or only when you have it on the magnet holder?
*
Permanently. Have to change the whole LCD now. But then my glass screen is also cracked, as when I bought the note4 the SP which came with it did not cover it entirely. Just the LCD, so the touch buttons at the bottom is not protected. And I dropped it with the bottom edge hitting the floor. lol. So gg. But touch still works fine. About 2 months ago it went a bit less touchy as I used the pattern unlock to unlock my phone. So i switched to the pin type. XD

The magnet caused the s-pen to not work permanently ?! Wow that's bad. Thanks for the heads up.

Yeah. It was a magnetic phone holder. I didn't know it won't work with note series phones. But official one should be ok. Only the 3rd party ones. Just be careful. Haha..

Ouch...thanks for sharing.. I will just stay away from magnetic case then...

Yeah. 3rd party cases to be exact. Of it's official one its fine. Using the s view standing cover now from Samsung. No problems with my spen. Cause maybe the magnetic level is low. Compared to the magnetic phone holder.
