the S series are always the best all rounder. great camera, great spec and great design.
it's not a surprise it wins the best phone award, they deserve it. 😀 |

imo, the issue with dual messenger thingy with whatsapp is some kind of a software bug. not just exclusive to the s9, even my mom's s7 and my wife's honor 8 face the same issue of not getting / late receive messages for the 2nd number every so often

seriously guys, just grab a portable 5000mAh powerbank and top up some juice when u need it the most. it'll solve 90% of all smartphone users problems in daily use 😂
for comparison, a friend of mine uses a mate 10, granted with a 4000mAh battery, compare to mine, 3000mAh. both of us played pubg, both of us drain 10% battery in like, 15mins of play time. so yeah, it makes no difference for me (and some people) out there that anything less than 4000mAh battery will make a difference when it comes to heavy usage |

s9 dual speaker is, nice to have and sounds good, even with dolby atmos enabled
but that's all about it, highs and lows are no where matching my 2y/o htc 10 boomsound. |

QUOTE(attw @ Apr 23 2018, 07:54 AM) And the bundled AKG earphones are also not as good as the U-Sonic earphones that came with the U11 not even close man!   but still, like i said before, it's good to have on the s9 now. hopefully samsung pays attention to it more in their future devices. maybe note 9 would see much better improvements? |

QUOTE(kopikaukau @ May 3 2018, 10:43 AM) Guys, need your opinion. have u set the dolby atmos to music mode only? i found out by setting it to auto, whenever i played music with heavy instrumental play, it tends to change quite oftenI usually connect my s9 plus to the headunit in my car using aux cable and plays music using Spotify for my daily drive. Before this, am using OnePlus 3 and the sound is just so perfect. The bitrate, the crisp, the bass; especially when playing lonely together by avicii & rita ora..is perfect for me. But switching to current s9 plus, whenever i connect my phone to the headunit using same setup, the sound is just so bland! With or without the dolby atmos option switched on, it doesn't achieve the same level as the previous OP3. In fact, in the previous OP3, no special setting or equalizer when using Spotify. So, do you guys know how to get back my crisp sound? Did some tweak here and there in the sound setting page but still failed. |

QUOTE(kopikaukau @ May 4 2018, 12:16 PM) Yes did tried all three options but still didnt up to par to the OP3. I think the tuning of dolby atmos is special to suits the stereo speaker and AKG earphones, so if whenever want to connect using usual way the sound will be different. 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. 😔 |

QUOTE(andrekua2 @ May 5 2018, 08:21 PM) https://android.gadgethacks.com/how-to/impr...codecs-0183398/ the article says codecs for bluetooth connections? Google will help you better than forumer. Why so lazy? 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 |

QUOTE(kevin23 @ Jun 11 2018, 01:18 PM) Slow motion is jackshit. So blur and dark. wow,much hate for this phoneAnimoji- rubbish. Hardly used it since i bought the phone. No lagg? U gotta be kidding me. App crash, phone hang a few times on me already. Especially when u open game, then close game, then open youtube n close it and reopen again. Always hang. Honestly, the most overrated rm4k flagship phone ever.. Plus this phone weight is not evenly balanced. Somehow bottom is heavier than top. Very annoying none happen to me until now, i think it's the rm400 clone s9 u referring to? instead of a rm4k 😂 |

QUOTE(kevin23 @ Jun 11 2018, 04:22 PM) I used Huawei Mate8 so long no issues. Wonderful phone. Thought upgrade to s9+ its gonna be better, it no way justifies its 4k price tag. earlier u say perform like 2k phone then offer 3.3k, if offer like that means s9 is actually perform quite good laaaa 3.3k sell to u. 128GB  |

QUOTE(squareballs @ Aug 1 2018, 04:34 PM) the regular S9, other than the battery life, any other issues so far? battery issues only appeared at the 1st week of usage, due to the phone's software getting adjusted to. gonna get one soon. and with the latest update so far, battery life seems improved drastically. Even when idling overnight, it only drop 1 - 2%. With normal usage sure can last the whole day without problems. |

QUOTE(jeff10012003 @ Sep 14 2018, 03:09 PM) does nova really help in battery consumption or just for customization? i've used both apex & nova launcher beforehand, but now stuck with nova. i only used stock launcher for 2 weeks prior to owning the s9battery consumption remains more like the same for all launchers, be it 3rd party or even stock. i guess because i tend to use very minimal widgets. so yeah, its only mainly for customization and does not affect the battery life at all |
