QUOTE(wongtheboy92 @ Jan 16 2018, 10:18 AM) Any tips for iphone x battery? Usage around 6 hrs from 100% to 3-5%. Saw lots of user reported higher than this. Is turning off background app refresh helps to improve battery life? Turn off facebook and whatsapp. Confirm battery life improves.

QUOTE(wongtheboy92 @ Jan 16 2018, 11:51 AM) You mean the backgound app refresh for these two apps? Will I still be able receive whatspp notifications? Did you ever optimize any setting? I did turning off background app refresh or switching to wifi based refresh, disable most product-improvement based location services, disable raise to wake, disable offload unused apps, disable share iphone analytics. Basically, I did what youtubers suggested in improving IOS 11's battery life but to no avail. No. Turn both apps off or log out your account. Basically its these two apps that are draining your battery. If you want good battery life, so you have to turn them off and only turn them on when you want to use it. I dont do it because 1 charge can basically last me a whole day. QUOTE(Blue Clues @ Jan 16 2018, 12:39 PM) seriouslyyyy??? i done it before but still same.. the battery keep on dying huuurrrmmmmm.. is it the battery problem or else??  Post your battery stats here. We will see from there. This post has been edited by TOMEI-R: Jan 16 2018, 02:01 PM

QUOTE(emy_xvidia @ Jan 20 2018, 11:43 AM) Dont think so. Official Apple Store hardly revise their prices afaik unless they are past gen models. Best bet now is to buy from Lazada. I would beg to differ. The dwindling sales of the Iphone X coupled with the uptrend of the RM, I would say we would see Apple revising their prices soon.

QUOTE(Ryo83 @ Jan 20 2018, 11:49 PM) Me too, tempted to buy US SET at Lazada RM4399. Unlock set. But still worry if got problem later. For that price, you could get a MY set from individual sellers at our own lyn marketplace QUOTE(attw @ Jan 21 2018, 10:15 AM) Huawei makes good phones but I'm not a fan of their UI. So for me it's a no-brainer. I would choose the 8+ over the 8 though. Maybe March, which would be the mid-cycle. Hopefully  I think he meant U Mobile  This is not Oneplus. Tak ada mid cycle.

QUOTE(christcwl9 @ Jan 21 2018, 12:54 PM) Lazada Official Store for Apple, is having discount for iphone X 64gb! 5% off from RRP. And also just add on RM1 for Apple silicon case. i wonder should i grab this offer now or wait until CNY for price cut from apple :hmn: Buying from sellers at Marketplace confirm much cheaper than that.

QUOTE(johnm @ Jan 22 2018, 03:45 PM) Thing is the article mentions the X not selling as expected. Thought it was. And not doing as expected in China market with the notch being mentioned as one reason. So rumor is maybe the 2nd gen or re-design no notch. That would not please many current owners I figure. Why a 6' LCD model I don't understand But having to do without the notch would mean the phone wont be so 'bezel-less'. QUOTE(realitec @ Jan 22 2018, 03:53 PM) Yea, doubt if the sales really that bad. As I went Guang Zhou, many people holding X on monorail too. Maybe things not as expected as what I seen. I dont know man. With this kind of pricing, was Apple expecting sales would be as good as the yesteryears. Its selling alright, but not at the sales volume expecting of it. Not everyone could afford it.

QUOTE(desreg2913 @ Jan 22 2018, 07:02 PM) is that important whether authorized seller? as long as MY set? Beats me. Unless one is willing to pay RRP, then they could go to "Authorized Sellers".

QUOTE(johnm @ Jan 22 2018, 10:00 PM) hi am wondering how do these online sellers give such discounts? As said it's MY set then if sell lower than official price isn't it a loss for these people? or am I missing something here? Many of these sellers sets are their own telco contract sets or gifts from others etc. So they are able to sell at discounted prices. But, hey who cares? As long as it genuine. Some of the online sites are selling much cheaper because they subsidize the discounts given out as a form of promotion/advertising of their website.

QUOTE(benny888 @ Jan 23 2018, 09:09 AM) Many high end Android these days easily match if not better than ip in terms of lag. Such as S8+, Mate10, OP5T etc. You cannot compare with cheaper mid end Android +1 TBH, my OP5T matches whatever my IPhone X dishes out with the exeption the Iphone X wins on storage of 256GB vs the OP5T's 128GB. Other than that, the OP5T's screen is much bigger and pleasant to look at, the facial unlock is much much faster (without swipe to unlock) though some claims the security is not that of the level of the Iphone X.

QUOTE(rowlet @ Jan 23 2018, 10:46 AM) google collects all your data and sell billions $ advertisements. that's how they give u so much 'free' stuff. of course, many ppl don't mind to sell their privacy, similar to prostitutes who exchange their bodies for money. I wonder who doesnt use anything related to google nowadays? Chrome, Gmail, Cloud, Maps, Search Engines so on and so forth. I guess all of us would be similar to prostitutes then?

QUOTE(attw @ Jan 23 2018, 11:17 AM) You failed to mention that the OP5T costs HALF the price  You have got that right bro... But then again, android is android, apple is apple. I wouldnt want to compare both of them unless arguments arises. Both have got their own advantages and disadvantages. Some of us have both, the best of both worlds.

QUOTE(winkiedilwy @ Jan 23 2018, 12:01 PM) not really. even if the UI is butterly smooth, 3rd party apps are slow, laggy and not optimized. even facebook barely can scroll smooth. the 3 models youve mentioned above ive already tested it, none of them will match the iphone, or even the iphone SE in terms of overall smoothness. Seriously? I am using the Note 8, OP5T and IPhone X now. I dont find that facebook can barely scrolll smooth or any that you claim above.

QUOTE(iLiberty @ Jan 23 2018, 03:22 PM) So after some 'fighting' and arguing here and there... is it recommended to buy this X or not? Come on everybody... i need some moral support here... its just one click: Checkout or Cancel... hehe... Buy! Buy! Buy! Or Don't! Don't! Don't! Dont get me wrong. Im not saying that it is not a good phone. If you are an ifag, and you have been using an iphone all along and looking for a replacement phone, there are no better choices no? If you are using a plus size iphone right now and would prefer a phone with a larger screen, I would suggest you switch to the Iphone 8+. The Iphone X is a good phone no doubt. Just like all other flagship phones, it would have its advantages and disadvantages. If I were you, I'd get it now since there are so many good offers around.  Oh... and get the silver one. The white back will easily distinguish it from the rest of the iphone models. This post has been edited by TOMEI-R: Jan 23 2018, 03:34 PM

QUOTE(iLiberty @ Jan 23 2018, 03:53 PM) alrite then... thank you for your thoughts... and yes, i'm a 7+ user... by the way, i'm prefer the iPhone X Space Grey one... its ok, i think the back camera already distinguish it from the other iPhone...  If you are moving from the Iphone 7+, I strongly advise you to go try out the real phone at AASPs around you to see if you could really accept the smaller screen. Other than that, I would say go for it. Oh, I suppose you are using the 128GB 7+, then you would have to go for the 256gb Iphone X.
