How to get discount on Qoo10?
*
install Q0010 app, then click the Qspecial+ button(bottom left), then click the Qoo10 Digital Fair. You will see the discount coupon banner in the middle. You can only grab the coupon after 10am and the coupon has limited quantity for everyday.

I am also looking for a way to turn off the pattern/white dots at the AOD background, if you found out how please let me know  rclxub.gif

I only want the clock/notifications details, dont care about the pattern at all  yawn.gif

Go to wallpaper and themes. Get the most simplest AOD design. That's what I did, only clock, date and battery power.

Theme , wallaper and AOD can be applied individually.

hows their service? tot of getting ono either today or maybe during the black friday sales

They don't reply email or comment box of purchase. 1 thing I like about them is they do not oversell the phones, they only sell what they have. I purchased on 11.11 and they deliver on next day evening. It's considered pretty fast as they sold out so many units on 11.11

Dual sim, WiFi + mobile data, location with high accuracy, sync on, brightness set to around 30%, sound and vibration on, edge lightning on, aod off, nfc off, power saving mode off, nearby device scanning off. Using wqhd+ resolution with basic color mode. All advance feature off except for smart mute. All spen features remain on. Bixby enabled, using it daily. For security I use pattern, iris, and finger print.

Beside, I also use bk disabler paid app to disable some unused apps and services, greenify paid, pure black theme.
*
about bk disabler, do you root your phone or use ADB command to give it permission?
I have a similar app called Ice Box. The ADB command didn't work because KNOX blocked it.

omg... i use single sim , display in fullHD+ and batt saving mode still lose ur batt performance, how come?
is that BK disable does much help?
*
apps like bk disabler do help because you can disable those bloat apps without uninstalling it. You can try to make unused app sleep first and see if it helps to improve your battery life

I also facing bixby can't recognize voice password for unlock phone.
During setting up the password, bixby can recognize fully my voice password, but after applied and try, it just won't recognize and keep asking me say again...= =
Anyone facing the same problem?

Also, i found out note 8 finger print sensor really lossy, can say 5/10 error reading my finger print, while i can get 10/10 correct finger print reading on Huawei.
So now the fastest method for me to unlock phone is face ID, but not working during low light...gg

my fingerprint sensor works every time. Maybe you should rescan your fingerprint.

today went to MrDiy buy stuff. I asked the cashier if they receive card payment, she said yes. I then popped up my phone and she showed me a fearful face and told me that she doesn't want to try it.

Samsung Pay still has long way to go, and it might fail in near future.

I can't believe that the staffs or cashiers are actually afraid to work the system for Pay Wave/ Samsung Pay. It is as easy as taking candy from a baby. Peoples mindsets need to evolve and accept change.

because they scare if something went wrong, their company will deduct their salary.

Hi all, I bought a glass screen protector from Maxis on the same day I bought my phone. Thinking that it should be a good screen protector, I decided to splurge RM120 after discount. Less than a week, the curve side started to crack although I only put them in my handbag! the screen protector doesn't cover the full screen. Just slightly curve. The installation done wasn't good enough. So, the left side wasn't that sensitive compared to the right side.
Now I wanted to change my screen protector.
Which is the best screen protector that is easy to install (if i need to install myself) and if the screen protector cover the whole screen including the curve side, how do I know which type of casing is suitable to use as it will not lift my screen protector?
By the way, is the glass SP much more better than the normal SP? as the glass SP makes the phone even heavier.

Thank you for the advise!
*
WhiteStone Dome is the only SP that's good, some say Hao5D also good. Today I installed RM20 SP side adhesive SP and it's not good. I might get WhiteStone Dome instead.

Anyone try to claim the petronas RM10 voucher using samsung pay?  hmm.gif

I tried, didn't get it. They are not notified to let customer claim the voucher. The cashier clicked the redeem button and the voucher disappears.

The correct way is you tell them you wanna claim the voucher, and they give you the voucher and then click on the redeem button.

It's more about Spay app design flaw. The app should have a page which shows claimed voucher details instead of making them disappear

He/she lied for sure. Actually you can ask him to call for his supervisor. I went to Petronas station on Sunday and the cashier has never received Spay request before but she was curious and up to challenge. I was happy even I didn't manage to get the voucher.

Finally made decision to buy this phone. One issue though, I somehow feel that the touch screen is not that sensitive. Sometimes I got to press a few time to open an App OR to drag down the top screen. Is it possible that the screen protector that I bought at Maxis caused this? Any setting that i can play around with to increase its sensitivity?
*
I don't have this problem at all. You probably get a defect phone

Just learned a little trick:

Go into Developer Option :
Turn off Windows animation scale, transition animation scale
set Animator duration scale set to 0.5x

those minimized apps pop up right away
