can't blame you for being disappointed, i also felt the same, compared to my previous htc 10. s9 never came close, but i will still gave them credit for improving their sound quality department. 😔

Can someone explain why after i turn off notifications for a certain app, yet it still shows notifications?

And why is samsung notifications so messy? There is no borders btw each notification and its difficult to see and read.

Prefer emui over samsungs os.

My mom got her S9 from senheng.
Is it possible to buy the screen warranty from Samsung experience stores?

User problem kot?

Yes you can

Google will help you better than forumer. Why so lazy?

Just bought S9 plus today. Feeling happy.

Btw, any recommendations on the phone screen protector and casings?

Finally let go of the power bank i got from Samsung and bought a 20k capacity Type-C with QC3.0 and USB PD 3.0 to use for long trip...

And by the way, I got some used Ringke case to sell as I either dun like the feel of it or the color... I got 1 Ringke Onyx (Voilet Plum) and 1 Fusion (Black) for sell, PM if interested...

For case will depends from person to person so you will need to look around... Good and branded ones like Spigen, Otterbox, UAG while cheaper option like the one i using, Ringke...
For TG there's only 2 at the moment that a lot feedback are great, Whitestone Dome and Hoda. Both uses Loca glue so the TG fit really nicely on screen without touch sensitivity issue...

Different users different types of casings. Some like clear ones at the back and some like me don't.

Using Spigen Hybrid Armor and Zizo Bolt. My tempered glass is from Zizo but normally I don't really use them.

Just share some snaps of the cases I'm using now.

Tempered Glass is Hoda but its more or less the same thing as everything out there.


UAG Plasma - This I think could be the most protective and longest lasting while not feeling any more bulky than a regular case.

Extra protection on all corners. Zero chance of it lifting the tempered glass.

The shiny plastic at the back will scratch over time but I don't think it detracts from the militaristic look

My favourite part - tall lips for screen protection even with tempered glass

UAG-DSCF2168 by vmwt, on Flickr

Spigen Rugged Armor Urban - New version of the classic rugged armor with more clearance for tempered glass so its fully compatible with most if not all tempered glass.

The textured back improves grip and reduces wear... a bit... but it looks nicer over time then its predecessor The corners also slightly reinforced.

SRAU-DSCF2170 by vmwt, on Flickr

Lip (screen clearance) also maybe like 0.5mm taller but I tried dropping different angles on my wooden desk. Didn't hear any glass sound

SRAU-DSCF2172 by vmwt, on Flickr

The original Spigen Rugged Armor - Notice how the case is totally flush with the tempered glass. Slightly off installation of the TG or if the corner compressed during a drop or even shoving the phone onto the phone may lift the tempered glass

SRA-DSCF2173 by vmwt, on Flickr

I've used it less than 14 days in total and the matte finish back is starting to wear out aesthetically

SRA-DSCF2174 by vmwt, on Flickr

Very little lip/clearance over the tempered glass. At certain angle, the glass will touch my desk's flat surface.

What is the RRP for Spigen Rugged Armor Urban ang Hoda TG?

Yes within 30 days from the receipt.

I have 8 cases and still can't decide which one is the best

However I've determined that two of them are rubbish which I would not use ever again (free case that comes with the phone and X-One Dropguard 2.0).

One is an ok case but mostly likely will not use it again since it's my 2nd best clear case (Ringke Fusion).

Five which I really like and rotate among them regularly (UAG Plasma, Ringke Onyx, Alysvia clear case, Rhinoshield Crashguard, Rhinoshield Solidsuit).

the article says codecs for bluetooth connections?

does these change in codec settings also affect when in aux connection?

i myself also looking for a solution to improve the sound quality, and this forum is the 1st place to ask. thx for sharing the article though

p.s : if all ppl just google, better forum or this thread don't exist at all

TWD690 for the Spigen and TWD800 for the TG in Taiwan. Malaysia price not sure.

anyone can giv insight about HODA vs tMAX liquid tempered glass?

choosing between this 2 because a forumer does installation for this 2 brands, claimed the same function. but uncertain since i did not want to waste any more $ on screen protectors, currently using spigen neoflex the friction is unbareable.

hoping people who own tmax can giv some comments in terms of oleophobic and clarity thanks


before this i was in shanghai have had the chance to try multiple TG, not all TG are built the same. clarity might be the same, no rainbow , no orange peel, but when exposed to cold air the water condensation will render the touch screen not usable --->glastimate ,benks , nilkins, doesnt happened with spigen.

Well, if it's too technical, Google>forum. I always find my answer with Google. For other stuffs, forum can be helpful.

Well, I think you already know your answer to your own question. Aux is not Bluetooth.

Did you perform any sound calibration/tuning using the Adapt Sound feature before? Maybe you need to turn that back to default as the tuning is performed according to the speaker/headset that you plug in at that time, which is not equivalent to your car sound system...

It's most likely the same thing.

I stopped worrying about oleophobic coating after I got this

https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...&#entry88707839

I play pokemon go quite a bit so most oleophobic coatings be it from nekkid glass, tempered glass or whatever last like 1 month tops.

Fusso solves that problem.. just reapply whenever feel friction.
