QUOTE(joytest @ Nov 14 2017, 10:44 PM) This means that Samsung knows that the curved screen sux ass. The only reason they did it is because they can, and they are milking it for the aesthetics. I don't mind the curve screen existing at least. It looks nice and that's what matters in terms of design at least. But yeah functionality not so much. Better looking than most phone out there tho, looks dated and new. Unlike... phones with a lot of bezels. |

QUOTE(cynical66 @ Nov 15 2017, 01:15 AM) this is what i did:- If I know about this I'd have tried this.. They still forcing me to go 128 last time.. while mine is also 98.. so i'm like meh. 1.) wait my current contract ended. (iphone) 2.) after current contract ended, switch to digi 78 contract for note 8. Got fren work inside helped me. later on tell why i as fren help. 3.) while digi porting in your line, you'll receive sms from maxis whether you confirm anot. answer confirm. 4.) after awhile maxis will call to ask why & you complain & tell them you dun need to use lots of data (RM128 package) + note 8 price @ rm3000+ only need sign up for digi RM78. 5.) they guarantee will counter offer. (mine RM2600+ before GST, RM2800 after GST + no need sign OnePlan 128. ONly use current OnePlan 98 + RM68 fees for 1st 3 months) 6.) Ask fren to cancel the digi application & recall back the maxis person in charge to get the offer. ~ seems fussy? all done in around 20hours (port in to digi @ 8pm, maxis called the next day 1:30pm) ~ can be done even with normal official digi outlet.  |

Better than most phones really. The looks is part of the reason you buy anyway. Also the curve screen is way better than having a notch haha

Overpriced phone really. Not even a spec bump to 7 and charging 999usd for the stupid notch and face id? No thank you. Even removing their touch id, which was way better. Outdated design, just got wireless charging rofl.. my Lumia 920 had wireless charging half a decade ago.
I've been using the iPhone since 3G when no one even uses it. Just glad I finally jumped to Android this time around, it definitely got better compared to back during jelly bean when I first use Android on Nexus 7. Really tho Note 8 is great, my doubts were just the battery at least. A lot talk crap about it just because the juice is less. Turns out it's pretty good. As long as it lasted a day I'm satisfied with moderate use and some mobile gaming. This post has been edited by Rei7: Nov 15 2017, 12:41 PM |

Use command prompt on PC je. I disabled the app that wasn't possible using this method without root https://www.xda-developers.com/uninstall-ca...ut-root-access/
If you have adb issues install this one instead https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979 Just note that it isn't really uninstalling, just disabling stuff that you can't. I actually wanna disable bixby as well but it might turn out bad lol. |

Basically just disabling using terminal. Have to enable developers mode tho, and enabling ubs debugging. After you're done could turn it off.
Me two days ago disabling Korean LG U+ carrier bloatwares.  This post has been edited by Rei7: Nov 15 2017, 03:20 PM |

QUOTE(nasiayam @ Nov 15 2017, 03:40 PM) this would uninstall instead of disabling (with the option of enabling it again) the app right? it's just the same as disabling. only do this to apps that you can't disable normally.Alternatively instead of using that method. you can also use this command. "pm enable --user 0 < package name >" "pm disable --user 0 < package name >" This will do the same thing as well with an option to enable back. The uninstalling one probably couldn't. But if you want the app back with the uninstalling method, you can just go to the playstore and download the bloatware again. Using this method you can still receive OTA updates just fine.

QUOTE(ran_deep @ Nov 16 2017, 12:49 PM) Mine delivered yesterday from Witeshadow@Lazada. It's just like a normal casing. Hard casing but doesn't have the shock proof and other protection features. Better buy another good casing from spigen or ringke and other brands yes.And it comes with free transparent casing in box with the phone. Is that good enough? I assume its from Samsung product as well. I don't like it bulky - so if thats not good - my other option is Ringke Fusion. |

QUOTE(Jeffreynsx @ Nov 16 2017, 01:21 PM) I got Samsung Hard Casing with kickstand + Alcantara Case for weekend use. The grip for Alcantara case is so good to hold on your hand. You bought Alcantara casing at a good deal? Last time heard at Digi store is cheap at 160.  |

QUOTE(Savor_Savvy @ Nov 16 2017, 05:28 PM) 56% left after using from 7am today. A mixture of mobile data and wifi and bluetooth. Is it ok? Sounds good to me, as long as the juice last for the whole day before you sleep, means it's good. Battery wise never had any problems with mine. Even played some games once in a while, watch some YouTube, web browsing and discord. Usually left around 20% before I sleep |

The HDR counterparts Google Camera+ seems better for HDR purpose at least. If you're into taking a lot of shots go for the Pixel app, the software is really good compared to the Samsung one.
