QUOTE(Remy101 @ Nov 13 2017, 10:55 AM) hi all, may i ask, N8 standard warranty from Samsung Malaysia is 1 or 2 yrs? 1 year by standard. Only pre order and roadshow sales unit are entitled free extended warranty. Anyway u can purchase the extended warranty separately within 30 days of the device purchase date.

QUOTE(attentional @ Nov 15 2017, 02:00 PM) I'm jumping ship from Apple to Android now. Been using Apple for the past 7 yrs. This year enough is enough. Overpriced and same old design. Boring. I have a question, Samsung is known for bloatwares in their OS. Is it still the same for Note 8? I hope it won't get any slower as i use it. Currently considering Note 8 or Mate 10 Pro. The os has less bloat wares now, much smoother compare to the past. But there are still some 'extra' apps. U can choose to disable those unnecessary apps and services base on your own preferences. I do the same to disabled some unused apps and services.

QUOTE(nasiayam @ Nov 15 2017, 02:40 PM) on disabling apps, is there a way to disable/freeze a non-system app without root? i'm using this lunar calendar app, i have turned off the notification, but sometimes still receiving notifications so it's still running in background last time when using a root-ed phone can freeze it in titanium backup and unfreeze when wanna use it would be useful if can disable/freeze apps that will only use once a while Yes, indeed I was talking about disabling without root. Look for BK disabler pro in play store. It's a paid app BTW.

QUOTE(Rei7 @ Nov 15 2017, 02:58 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=2588979Just 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. Good tips. Suggest to put on first page.

QUOTE(ran_deep @ Nov 16 2017, 12:49 PM) Mine delivered yesterday from Witeshadow@Lazada. 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. Hard cases are not recommended. It may scratch your phone when putting on or removing it.

QUOTE(Dio Escobar @ Nov 16 2017, 02:14 PM) the free clear casing from samsung is no good. my cousin used that case when he got his note 8, after 2 weeks there are 2 paint chips on the side (between bixby & volume button) & bottom (beside s-pen) of his note 8 even though he never dropped the phone or anything. if your note 8 is black color, all the more reason to find case with good protection because most cases reported having peeling paint on their note 8 happened on black color one. So what I said earlier is proven.

QUOTE(vincetee06 @ Nov 16 2017, 04:16 PM) Wow, but most review and comment i found online is negative feedback  My honest review, compare to s7 edge, note 8 and s8 series audio output are much better in quality and louder.

QUOTE(vincetee06 @ Nov 18 2017, 08:45 AM) I haven't apply, but considering, i can say u will just feel the original screen, the coating is very thin, can't see at all with bare eyes, but definitely the protection is there, the promoter applied it on his own phone and let me try scratch with car key, really "wow"! not a single scratch can be found, very less review online since is new product, i think just release recently. Can be found at lazada and 11street, which is same price with the shop, can use voucher discount furthermore. Guess i gonna grab 1 during 12.12 coupon. http://www.lazada.com.my/whoosh-diamond-de...df70DFPYSr&ff=1http://www.11street.my/productdetail/whoos...ection-49940942can it reduce the risk of breaking the screen if drop the phone? please note that the dual edge screen is very fragile

QUOTE(Rei7 @ Nov 18 2017, 02:45 PM) Just got myself HAO 5D. Looks really good man. Noticed there is a color difference compared to the x-one sp I use as well.

Got the case friendly one, will buy Alcantara tomorrow or so  were u the one who had the x-one sp remove on the spot by the staff? also there is a scratch on the screen i heard

QUOTE(ericme @ Nov 19 2017, 10:35 AM) Anyone really use these Bixby in the real life? It looks convenience but sometime Bixby don't understand pour command and this is my frustration. Haha Samsung BixbyI'm using it daily. Mostly when my hands are on the PC keyboard doing my work, or while the phone the charging. I use bixby to unlock the phone, check notification, turn on this that settings etc.

QUOTE(invest2229 @ Nov 19 2017, 11:25 AM) Bixby understand your command well without wrong interpret? I try many times to ask Bixby open Whatsapp but never success. Sometime it read as "what app"  Sometime it will fail. The fail rate is about 2/10. QUOTE(adalar99 @ Nov 19 2017, 11:33 AM) what apps u guys use for file manager yea yesterday i tried switch ios to android and i only transfer contact, calender, notes (no picture , no media) and it show my internal storage no much left I use solid Explorer.

if any of u interested to apply hao 5d, try ask the staff if they can provide 15% discount by only showing them a picture of the vip card without the present of the card holder, if yes, i can borrow my vip card.

QUOTE(citacitata @ Nov 19 2017, 09:57 PM) Funny that today I was not allowed to use pay wave and/or Samsung Pay at 99 speed mart. Few weeks ago I didn't have this problem. The cashier pusing so many stories that the pay wave is not functional. When I saw the machine asking for the payment card "please swipe / tap", I queried him. Then came another cock story he will kena warning letter if I used pay wave or my phone to pay. Will merchant rugi a lot if we do contactless transactions? merchant fee, around 2% charges on every transaction by card, not sure if pay wave/spay charge higher.
