Fck.

Attempt #1 to diy nano optics uv glue tempered glass.

Almost made it but my kiasuness of making it perfect cracked the glass cry.gif

But overl, the glass is nice. Smooth, sticks well, not very easy to apply (need some skills).

Worth the $$$ u spend. Honestly. Feels like flat screen phones with tempered glass.

bought dome or tmax?

thats the reason i bought tmax.. but after the coating gone, im going back to pet smile.gif

Sakurazz chargea rm89 + install. He is pretty good at it too.

I saw 1 seller, rm99 but got 2 glass in the package.

Easy to diy? Mine had alot bubbles after putting the glass on... guess i didnt dedust properly cry.gif which lead to me pushing the bubbles.out, and ultimately, cracking the side cry.gif
*
kinda easy.. watch few video prior installation..
the bubble might due to the glue itself, if so jz let it burst itself around 5 min or use plastic card (credit card or sort) corner poke the bubble

the tray does help alot, especially 1st timer..
and make sure the surface where u going to work on are flat.. also make sure cover up earpiece with the sticker.. b4 uv light it, make sure theres no glue flow into the button n ear piece.. use alcohol wipe to clean it..

slow and steady.. make sure the glue is as center as possible, slowly place the glass and let the glue spread itself.. it might take up to 5 min..

U must be using a very good phone case. What brand ya?
I think i will go back to full body wrap with my next new phone. Been on clear coat since s7 edge, s8 and s8 plus.. the price went up to 250 suddenly and felt not worth now but I'm regretting cuz the amount of glass sp, pet sp I changed surpassed the cost of 250 😅😅
Which brand of pet film you bought? I used x-one extreme shield before.. it was good and flawless in the first few weeks... after that, air bubble starts appearing to both side of the curves... eventually got fed up at the ugly sight of it..
*
I bought from gadgetshieldz..past experience was good.. but it's on flat screen.. on my Lenovo p2 n p1

Guys who use the S9 not the plus version, how is the battery life situation now? I'm very interested to switch back to Samsung since my last usage of Samsung is the original galaxy S almost 8years ago.

But the thing that hold me back is the battery life, I can't go S9+ as size is the main reason I opt for S9.

My previous phone is Pixel 2 XL & Xperia XZ. Usually I use like 4.5 to 5 hours SOT daily.
*
s9+
158.1 x 73.8 x 8.5 mm (6.22 x 2.91 x 0.33 in)

pixel 2xl
157.9 x 76.7 x 7.9 mm (6.22 x 3.02 x 0.31 in)

the dimension kind similar, infact macam not as width as p2xl

if sot important for u, i highly suggest plus version..
search for my post here..
as of now, aug patched 8~9%/h sot

I sell my 2XL because of its size too big then I bought XZ2 Compact which is small but so thick. Sell it again.

If S9+ size then I think I prefer Oneplus 6. I am not into curved screen but need to choose because no other choice for the same size.
*
ooppss.. sorry about that..
i tot is xperia to pixel

hmm... lg v30/v35 sot seriously good.. it was my 1st pick b4 s9+..
and its shorter, thinner and ligher than oneplus 6

Hi guys, im iphone user and getting bored with the IOS and thinking to switch to S9, previously i switch once to note 4 but i encountered problems like app crashed, like scrolling insta too fast it will hang and pop out to the home screen, same with fb app, for battery it can be from 25% and sudden drop to 1%, and i can't find something good like itunes for backup, samsung backup tat time was a crap, backup until 99% and hang there like forever, Juz wanna ask is the problems stated above still exist? How is the ecosystem for samsung android right now? Thanks guys.
*
1. app crashed
this is bound to happen as there's hundred if not thousand model of android phone and u cant expect the app developer to maintain/develop/support/compatibility for all the devices..

2. hang when scrolling fast
i dont use insta n fb often but from experience, nope.

3. battery sudden drop
nvr happen to mine but if its ever happen, pls change or have it examine by sc

4. backup
was a root enthusiasm, so i cant help u..

good thing about samsung?
those features/gimmick/bloatware they offer like. some like it some hate it.
dont expect fast/regular major update.. tbh, some of the features already included in their own ecosystem way b4 introduce with major android version
as for security, they have their own knox system..

watch a bunch of review.. biggrin.gif

Got myself a 64gb midnight black yesterday night at RM2959 after discount at Samsung Authorized Reseller. Should be able to get RM200 cheaper at least if buy online or RM700 cheaper if buy from the garage sales new unit. But couldn't wait as my spare phone Galaxy J3(2016) is so so bad.
Very happy with the size. Need to get use to the curve side, abit uncomfortable when watching youtube/videos. Turn on the phone battery is at 45%, set up and download until battery left only 8% in about 30minutes plus.  sweat.gif  I was shock but what to do, just hope it gets better. Need to charge until 20% before updated to latest August security patch. Finish and charge until full start from 7.30am, fully charge at 9am.

1 hour and 20 minutes after(now) battery left 89% after 30 minutes SOT. Not sure what to feel. Guess just bare with it cause I could't go phone bigger size than this.

Using RM9 TG Screen protector and RM10 casing bought at Giant accessories store. TG glass fit nicely but RM9 quality, very bad visibility, the amoled screen also can look very wash out. Now looking to buy TMAX or Whitestone. Use whitestone before for my Pixel, very good but the price is so expensive.

For the case, really interested in getting the S9 Alcantara Blue. Or any Nylon casing like the OP6.

For your question, Ringke fusion case side is TPU, and their finish is definately not matte, can say half glossy bcs it is not shining glossy, just clear.
*
sot will improve after a week or so plus with aug patched
lf battery life important, i suggest u try fhd as per my personal testing for almost a week, it definitively gave me an extra min for each 1%
turn on auto brightness and keep using it/adjusting it according to ur preference for like a week. its adaptive and it will learn. tbh, samsung auto brightness a tad too bright but after a week or so adjusting, teaching its now much better.
turn off or change to sync on wifi only..

May I know how to change that in the settings?

im using samsung and google account..
for samsung, setting > cloud & accounts > samsung cloud > setting > auto backup settings
gmail seems like does not have such function but u can set files upload to wi-fi only for apps like google drive or onedrive..
works pretty well for me

alternative, u may use tasker to auto turn on/off auto sync for apps that does not support such function.. im using profile time + wifi = auto sync on for 1h only

QUOTE(sunnyckh @ Sep 9 2018, 02:31 PM)
Thanks for your feedback bro, just got my unit from Mobile2go @rm2599, but cash only, i request for installment they charged me another 6% but ok for me, after watch the demonstration on how they smash the film on nail eventually i give up tempered glass with curve and go for their Clearplex Ultra Film screen protector, now looking for my all time fav Spigen case, and need to transfer everything from iphone to S9. Finally i switch! Hope samsung wont let me down this time haha...
*
wow.. 6%.. cc charge? that would be illegal. tbh, i only heard good battery life from the plus version.. and i havent face any hiccup yet.. last reboot is about a week ago.. lol..
if u wan glass tp, uv is the way to go..
i dont like cases so im using naked with clear skin on the back and side..

QUOTE(boboke @ Sep 9 2018, 02:45 PM)
I just realised I have 1 powerbank that I bought last year and seldom use because my Pixel 2XL never need it. Tronsmart 10k mah if not mistaken. just need to buy new cable as I lost the original one. currently using what screen protector bro?
Hopefully, I just wish that it can last until before I sleep because I will charge it overnight then. If I need to charge after work,  bit troublesome la, but still ok. I'm using FHD since the first time I on, plus the middle saving mode. And lost disconnect data when on wifi(this one abit annoying somtimes the phone will pop up erroe "failed to connect to server" . I can't adjust the brightness until I got a proper screen protector. Current screen protector is bad. Need higher brightness.

5 hours after discharge:
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

Wow, enjoy your new phone. I just bought it yesterday RM2959 after discount. I'll save RM400 if I go to mobile2go. Btw, how is the screen protector? I prefer TG rather than film type because of the feel when you touch/swap, it's natural feel like we touch the actual screen.

And how much did u get it for?
*
this is where wireless charging shine.. jz place and go.. simple.. no nd the hassle to plug in n out the cable.. put 1 in living and bedroom.. heck u can even put 1 on ur work desk..
the data connection error might due to the power saving mode where u tick the background data off when screen is off.

based on ur ss, ur phone does not enter doze at all

Ya plan to do that. Is it ok to charge halfway then use, then charge then use while using the wireless charging? i afraid that can shorten battery life.

Any idea what to do to make the phone doze?
*
yes.. lithium battery prefer partial charging rather than full.. as long as the temp does <50 Celsius.
shorten battery life happens when full charge and discharged, extreme high and low temps (>50 and -20 celsius)

install this app and grants all the adb permission and reboot
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?...mlabs.bbm&hl=en

use the phone as u will for few days say like 3..
post the result here..
we will help smile.gif
