IMO wireless charging is too slow and and what's worse, it heats up the battery up to 40C easily ..I'd recommend spending on QC power bank instead. Speaking from experience..
*
any of power bank would you recommend?
i was using romoss sense 4 but the battery is already almost EOL..

Looks normal to me but gotta agree samsung standy sucks..
Try off AOD,  sync also turn off allow activity/data on background for unwanted apps..
I turn off for Facebook, messenger, samsung apps.
Helps a bit..  from 12% to 10% overnight with AOD

SOT damn impressive.  Getting average 5 to 6 min/%1battery drop
With wqhd, auto brightness with lux and 2 bar lte

Side note, samsung keyboard nice.. swipe to move cursor rocks.. haha
*
AOD really eats battery.
i can see the difference in battery usage between turning on and off.
how do you turn off the FB/messenger/samsung apps?

Could be a bug.
Instead of resetting, why don't you try and reflash the firmware.

as in security update? yeah.. sucks wey... even my redmi note 5 pro already got its july update.. n my cousins zenfone 3 as well.. damn samsung.. its ur flagship lineup but update slower than mid tier brand?? no wonder sales drop.. lol

features? s9/s9+ alreadys latest sammy flagship... after note 9 launch, wait for few months, then it will available in s9 series..

this is normal for samsung.
the first and second to receive update is always vanilla android and sony.
samsung will always be the last, because they need to modify the update to accomodate all the features.

Anyone noticed a very slight lag when pressing the home button from the apps page? If i press the home button to quit a app, i do not see this slight lag. Weird and i only noticed this lag a few days back.

Hey, I recently got an S9+ and I seem to be receiving a problem where file transfer via USB plug kept disconnecting and reconnecting, making large file transfers basically impossible to do.

Does anyone have a similar issue in the past and manage to resolve it?
*
You tried different ports or different computers to confirm that this is rhe cable/phone's problem?
If so, try uninstalling the driver, restart your pc and phone, and try again. If still persists, try different port and computer, if still happen, try a different cable if available. If all else fails, try resetting the phone. If still happen, then surely this is hardware fault.

guys, yesterday i just got a s9+ and its been great so far..but i noticed the boxby and the volume buttons are not a "clicky" as the on/off button.. is this normal?
thank you
*
This is not normal, discussed a few pages back. Should've checked this before leaving the store,as they can replace on the spot. Now you may have to go to SC..

haiya takpelah..its still functioning but less clicky la..will go to sc when free smile.gif

thank you for the fast reply

oohh.. i thought it's a new one, not mentioned in the earlier post..
this might be the case of previous user being a rough user, pressing the buttons too hard and spoiling the internal button..
how much did it cost?

QUOTE(hightechgadgets8 @ Jul 30 2018, 01:43 PM)
maybe got residue stuck inside eg. cola

don't think so..unless the waterproof is gone..

i traded in my iphone x 64gb + he topped up rm 700 and s9+ 64gb

this s9 is only 2 months old and my iphone x is 8 months old

did you confirm with him is this unit is retail or telco unit?
if retail, IINM can use back the original receipt or the box as proof of purchase..

Hi guys, should i go for Note 9 since it just release? Was initially going to get S9+ in Senheng, 3 years warranty with around 300+ cheaper then Note9.

Is S9+ still a comparable with Note9? as Note has bigger battery.
*
if your have the budget, go ahead with Note 9.
battery 4000mAh, starting capacity is 128GB, bluetooth s-pen
the camera is indeed taken from S9, but improved with AI.

My usage while trying out the battery longevity 40 to 80
But I overcharged to 85.. lol

Go work around 7.45am
Back home around 3pm

Usage, Samsung internet browsing, WhatsApp, trading apps
Auto brightness, 4g/4g+ 2 bar,  auto sync off, aod off

[attachmentid=9973995]
*
as long as not playing games/secure folder no social media apps/no aod, the battery can last a bit.
