Is the X screen really that small? Or because its coming from iphone Plus users to X users? For me, i am changing from 5s to X so I am not sure if i will feel it's smaller for me or not lol
*
If you are changing from the 5S then it would definately not feel small. But for some of us coming from the plus size Iphones, it certainly is smaller.

Yes, 5 mornings still haven't learn yet lol

Haha that was exactly how I spoiled my first TG Hoda, got the 2nd one diff brand Monofilm and lasted less than 2 days when I dropped my phone.
But both also had the same problems with dust going through the top ambient sensor part, so I think most if not all TG designed this way will have this problem, so you'll have to ignore that OCDness part haha

I have actually gotten used to swiping up even if the unlock sign is still locked. It will somehow still unlocked as long as you point your face on the screen. So nowadays, I dont wait for the unlock sign, just straight swipe up.

At least if they screwed up, they’ll take a new one and do it for you at no additional cost right? Machines KLCC did that for me when installing Hoda on my 8 Plus. The guy got it wrong the first time, then just went and took another one and did it.
*
Yup... a lot of sellers prefer not to install because they are worried about the issue you mentioned. Couldnt blame them, they are at loss when they have to replace your expensive TG. That is why I prefer to only go to sellers which does installation.

something different happened today with my X's battery....I normally do a full charge to 100% and unplug before bed, and when I get up in the morning it'll be 100% (battery stays overnight), but this morning first thing I check it shows 94%, not a bad news but something's just different. what shocked me is the battery drain is x5 faster than usual, just a simple 1 min call took away 1% batt, 3x 1 min calls took away 3%  shocking.gif whatsapp about 3 mins took another 2%..... normally by now my X should have above 90% batt (been this way since day 1 till now), but today as of now, my batt is at 74%..... hmmmm?

the only thing I could think off is the update to latest version of whatsapp/fb messenger/fb/instagram I did yesterday evening.

Battery conditioning bro... Its a new battery. Will tend to misbehave. Let it settle down for some time first. laugh.gif

Yup personally feel better to walk in purchase and ask them to install for us especially if you are concerned about its compatibility with casing.
I walked in to machines pavilion to buy and they do help me to install and see whether it fit my apple silicone casing first before proceed to payment.
Now I’m happy with my combo hehe.

69 is the clear one without black/white border, it doesn't cover as much as the 85 with border, but even the 85 is not full, the full one is 3D which cost about the same but different brand, which is not recommended..
*
I think the clearn one without borders looks better though. Im using the Benks 3D type full coverage. Quality seems better than the Hoda though.

In the meantime, the Ringgit has quietly strengthened a fair bit compared to the beginning of the year when it was at 4.4x. Or could it be just a false calm before another storm? biggrin.gif

While I don’t think Apple will revise it’s pricing officially till the exchange rate hits 3.7x or lower, it’s interesting nonetheless. Makes the US sim-free sets very tempting if you happen to be there.

Mine is the opposite, my x's 25% brightness is like 60-70% on the ip7plus... blink.gif so I'm kinda using 10-20% even outdoor can see clearly...but the good news is it saves batt better..
*
I beg to differ. Though the Iphone X's display is said to be best right now but I do not enable truetone being it makes the phone warmer depending on light conditions. Sometimes it gets too warm or too cool to my liking. Most of the time, the display feels too dim or too yellowish. Even after turning truetone off, the display still feels a bit warmer and not as "bright" and dazzling like the Iphone 7/ 7+. Doesnt good display panels displays amazing picture quality and vibrant colours to make displays come to life?

'good' display is very subjective actually.. iphone is able to display DCI-P3 (wide-gamut) colours when needed (app have to call the API), HDR when watching video (of course the video or app itself needs to be outputting that). The reason that it is not as 'vibrant' or 'come to life' is probably attributed to the sRGB profiles that all iphones to date have been using. probably they insisted with this colour profile is because of colour accuracy..
*
I went to resellers like Machines and MacCity and all their displays units had TrueTone turned off and brightness set to maximum. At first I thought my earlier uni from Sg was defective but when I tried those display units, all of them were the same. Sorry to say, but when I compare my X to my Note 8, the results were definately not in favour of the X even though many claim the OLED is the best display for smartphones in the world for now.

I do agree that the oled on Iphone X appears to be more natural. But its not the colour but rather the screen as a whole. Screen seems to be darker overall and contrast seems to be lacking. Sometimes, I would need to look harder into the picture to actually see whats in the same picture compared to it being on the Iphone 7 + or the Note 8.

Yes... its pretty slow. Have to wait for the new update to enable faster charging.

QUOTE(dikae @ Nov 30 2017, 05:04 PM)
wow then I might as well use cable lol.. already so long using cable
about 2 hours+, between 2 to 2.5 hour from 1% to 100%....
*
LOL. laugh.gif


I only use the wireless dongle as a stand for my phone to rest nicely on in my office desk. Just for show. I dont even connect the usb cable to the phone as I dont want it to continously charge my phone while Im pickup it up and putting it down. I think that would even wear down the battery faster.

If new update enables fast charging will it charge faster than the cable or at least same speed as cable?

Not sure bro. But I read that its fast charging technology is for cable charging, didnt mention wireless charging yet and the bad part it, its a slower fast charging technology compared to Android's. Lets wait for it to roll out though, I am in the same boat as you, have yet to try it out. laugh.gif

Hoda 2.5D is quite good except for the top ambient sensor part where dusts could get in. Monofilm does a bit better than Hoda in this regard, but can still get dust into the ambient sensor part, but better than Hoda.
*
Anyone with film type screen protectors on the X? If there is no gap on the film then I may consider switching to the flim type.

QUOTE(toytoy @ Dec 1 2017, 03:22 PM)
I'm using hoda full coverage as well. A simple blow will clear off some of the dusts. Is the dust affecting the light sensor? If not then y bother? We should be looking at the nice screen. Not looking for dusts!!!
*
Im not too sure about that but someone did mention that dust and lint might affect the ambient sensor. I would think so as this will affect the ambient when it is full of dust or lint.

QUOTE(akaneikegami @ Dec 1 2017, 03:09 PM)
Same here. Kept having dust or lint stuck there. Which SP best?
*
Use the non full coverage type that would not cover the top most part so that you wont have dust or lint stuck there.

But u come from the plus version, really much difference for screen size? I still tot ipx has larger screen size than the plus model.
*
If you are coming from the plus size iphones, the screen of the X definately feels much smaller. Especially so for apps that are not optimized for the X. One thing for sure, watching videos on youtube definately is smaller compared to the plus.

If you look at my picture below, you will see that the frame of the glasses of the minion missing on the X compare to the 7+.

Been checking out the x in shops past one week with the intention to buy it. First impression was wow but after few minutes of usage, it’s pretty underwhelming for the price. Sitting beside the Samsung S8, the X’s interface somehow looks dated. Screen also not so vibrant as compared to S8 unless set at maximum brightness.

For me personally, I would not pay more than RM4000 for the X. And now with the S8 at 2.5k, buying the X at almost 6k seems absurd.

However, it’s all down to personal choice. I’m due for a new phone as my 6Plus is pretty damaged. Most probably will go for S8 while waiting for the next version of X as the current version not really worth the price tag.

The only thing still making me hesitant is the need to learn a new OS (android) after years of using iOS (since iPhone 3G).
*
I wouldnt say the X or rather IOS UI looks dated. It has been like this since years ago with improvements coming in here and then. But I would agree that the display still feels not impressive especially when compared to vibrant displays like the S8/S8+/note 8 even with the new OLED screen. I have tried toying with the settings which include setting the colour filters, turning off true tone and even turning to maximum brightness but Im still not happy with the display. I am starting to suspect the tempered glass to be the cause of the phone turning brightness down but I have tried phones on display at resellers and found the displays are the same.
Well turning to Android would be a more cost effective move but do bear in mind that you would have issues switching your data and apps over as some of them are not 'switchable over' especially app or games data.

Yeah I’m finally an silver 256 owner, upgraded from i6. Love the size. Not too big. Find it heavier.

And strangely they stil use the same cable as i6 and ear phone. I tot a lot has been mentioning about the usb c or something like that.

I haven been following. Bought it just wanted an upgrade.
*
Beats me too. For Rm5888, why cant they provide the USB-C adapter and USB-C cable rather than the same old adapter and lightning cable?
