same with me too upgraded from s7 edge to s9 plus...well the battery life on s7 edge really champion lol.. much different.. was spoilt by s7 edge battery actually, now not used to s9 plus need charge more often habit...in terms of performance for sure s9 faster... but 1 thing s9 plus really not so hot when doing some heavy tasking... guess the 10nm processor does generate lesser heat.

Exactly. I too changed from a S7E to a S9+...the battery life on the s7e was way better than this eventhough the settings are similar for both.

Anyone noticed that not all notifications come through? Like Instagram, some shows, some doesn't. Might be the same for FB, whatsapp etc

Can it be those apps are set to always sleep?

For the past 2 days I noticed my battery is draining very quickly( 100% to 95% in less than 30min) and the phone is getting hot even if not being used. I noticed that Media.Extractor and mediaserver is using up most of the battery. What is that and how do I stop those 2 apps? I've checked online and its something to do with chrome but I have not used chrome as its disabled.

Guys can recommend me a good screen protector and where to buy it?

So hard to find it online.

Try going for clear coat. There is just too much problems and complains regarding screen protectors for curved screens.

S9+ is RM190 for front and back on a weekday. I did it in Gurney Plaza,Penang. There are a few branches in KL I think.

Google for clear coat by mobile outiftters.

Eh, only RM190 for front and back? The other day they quoted me RM250 in Pavilion! I was really shocked that it went up steeply from RM170-190 to RM250...

Wow that is a lot of difference in price. I don't think so that is the actual price.

The battery life after the latest update seems to be better than before. Much better than my previous S7E.

AOD suck 12% overnight, 9hrs, blackout with min brightness
Without AOD, 4% overnight 9hrs.. damn efficient..

Looks cool, but not yet practical.. hopping next gen with >4k battery

The battery life has improved a lot after the latest update. My AOD only uses 4-5% overnight. Normal usage without FB can last around 28 hours with average SOT of around 4 hours.

There is a new update for the AOD on the Galaxy App. Anyone updated it? The reviews show that AoD is not working for s9+ after updating.

Why aren't there any updates for the S9+? Looks like the S7E had better updates than this phone

There is a new update for Samsung Messages on the Galaxy App Store. It supports RCS now. But it seems there is a bug on it that sends your photos to random people on your contacts list. Has that bug been solved?

I realised that the fingerprint scanner doesn't always detect my fingerprints after the October update. Is anyone else facing this problem or something is wrong with my phone? Btw, its the S9+ update.
