QUOTE(markiemark @ Dec 11 2017, 09:28 AM) Looking for those wireless chargers for me note 8. Are those Samsung Wireless Chargers (EP-PG950) costing below RM130 in lazada legit? They say original import from china  Looks fishy also, haha .. But once received, remember to check inside got Fan or not From what I read, fake one doesn't have Fan built in.

QUOTE(Crusader @ Dec 11 2017, 09:30 AM) Agree. Will get Whitestone Dome. Drove all the way to the shop in Cheras to install HAO but was informed by the staff that I need to wait for 2-3 hours. Reason: have 2-3 other units to install.  Remember to watch some reviewer installation youtube video before install

QUOTE(pokgaizai @ Dec 11 2017, 09:56 AM) Just to share a SP bought recently. Film type 2 pcs front + 1 pcs back. Even have extra camera protector and a layer of back protector (skin type) inside. Previosuly from TPU silicon SP which has orange peel. This one finally can enjoy crystal clear screen, no sensitive issue. All only rm18! Only things to note is if press too hard with spen or fingernail it will leave mark, but will autoheal overtime. And also not case friendly, need some diy. Cut 1mm from each side and trimmed both bottom corner and it fits nicely with my Alcantara case.  Mind ot share that does it cover edge to edge or only middle flat screen part?

QUOTE(:3mushy:3 @ Dec 11 2017, 10:09 AM) I'm thinking to switch to PET screen protector from reputable brand like Spigen until there are more reasonable alternative. I'm usually very careful with my phones so it should be ok. Even spigen this round also avoid to come out with Tempered glass for Note 8 , lol ... QUOTE(aaron80 @ Dec 11 2017, 10:12 AM) nop, as mentioned in the link, all who have the problems, lens are clean either is defect or note 8 have serious light reflection issues I think my iphone SE also has this light reflection issue when i point some angle. It just the glass reflection between the light and actual camera lens i believe?

QUOTE(Mr.Docter @ Dec 11 2017, 10:15 AM) Hey everybody, Just started using Note 8 for 1 week. Got it as birthday present. Great piece of phone indeed. As for question, whats the best screen protector that available locally? I initially used the cheapo one (less than RM 50) then it suddenly cracked by itself (or fall without me knowing?). Went to Samsung Center in Midvalley asking the same question, but surprised with the SA answer which stated that regardless of what brand you use, it will eventually cracked and reduced the screen sensitivity. He even endorsed me to keep on continue using my cracked protector lol  Welcome to the Note 8 Club, Doc ! For me, i'm a happy user of Whitestone Dome Glass, do refer here if you don't mind the shocking price Whitestone Link

QUOTE(Mr.Docter @ Dec 11 2017, 10:41 AM) Hey, Thanks for the warm welcome and link. The price actually within my budget - as long as it may serve me well. It's actually is a good tempered glass so far i use. The protector doesn't really collect smudges or oil S pen no sensitive issue Cover 80% of the screen (It doesn't cover to all edges but it give a case friendly points) I had tried both Spigen Rugged armor and Ultra Hybrid S which compatible with the Whitestone.

QUOTE(shanjeev @ Dec 11 2017, 06:15 PM) Can't agree anymore. Spent RM 60 on X One but my Spen didn't like it. Just installed whitestone from -maple- and it's superb. It's so good that I get irritated by the excessive adhesive at the side. Did over cleaning and got it wiped of till the internal, need to touch up back when free. Lol ... u mean you wiped out some of the internal glue which already dried ? That day i did some clean off cause those dust at edge, accidentally wipe a tiny portion of the glue, now whenever some reflective from screen will see it

QUOTE(markiemark @ Dec 12 2017, 12:47 PM) Anyone familiar or can share some insights on the Glasstimate glass? Is it receptive and case friendly? I was @lowyat awhile ago hoping to come across Whitestone which of course I didnt but bumped into this one that was recommended and sold by a Samsung sales guy. I dunno but when i see top and bottom black bar there ... Feels like only there adhesive again

QUOTE(markiemark @ Dec 12 2017, 02:44 PM) Yea the fellow did say that its only adhesive on the sides of the screen protector. When I asked him about Whitestone, he told me instead that its not advisable to have full screen adhesive as he was certain that it will damage the screen and they won't cover it. Is it that bad? I haven't been using the phone that long and I couldn't feel the difference with or without the screen protector (also because the guy kept on interfering). I'm also actually looking for film protection for the back of the phone. Sales dude didn't have anything for that. Although he did ask me why I peeled off the plastic sticker at the back if I was that worried.  Dunno why tat guy will say full adhesive will damage the screen, maybe the Oleophobic coating? As for me now what i can intro: Front : Whitestone Dome Back : Get sticker like dbrand

QUOTE(Savor_Savvy @ Dec 13 2017, 10:33 AM) I bought the 1.2m, claimed to be original one. One for my office and another one for my car. Aukey is a reputable brand. Don't think you will have any issues with it. QUOTE(Jitty @ Dec 13 2017, 10:34 AM) So fast charge also no issue ? Actually i bought Belkin USB 3.1 A to C that day but I might need a durable cable as well. QUOTE(ben3003 @ Dec 13 2017, 10:49 AM) i use aukey cable before for my iphone. after awhile then cannot detect and keep say need original apple product even they claimed MFI product. Their charger is ok, but their cable, i don use anymore. Lol.. Apple tat time quite annoying cause they implement that "Genuine" cable detection..

QUOTE(Savor_Savvy @ Dec 13 2017, 01:49 PM) I thought it is supposed to be fast charging. Not expecting fast as in adapter style but at least faster than normal cables? Cause the current draw from the connector is low?
