How bad is the battery life?

The battery life is similar like S8+ and I have never encountered the call drop problem.

My s9 plus keep pop out annoying ads at home screen, anyone know how to remove it?

Coming from Google's Pixels, i realised that the s9+ tends to edit my pictures too much. Algorithm problem! Seriously, they need to make the pictures more... natural instead of making them freaking white/pale.

I kinda like the low light and the food photos though.

I am swapping between cases. currently using Zizo bolt case. Have a spare in Spigen Hybrid Armor. I like Spigen a lot.
*
Yup spigen is very nice... The neo hybrid is my all time fav... Beside the UAG Monarch

Maxis. All the while no issues. Only happening on this new s9plus.

Have no problem for the call too.. And I'm also using Maxis. Maybe you can try to call maxis and tell them to reset your connection as what I did to get the data connection to 4G instead of the H+

Nothing wrong with Exynos really. Different approach only. Personally I prefer performance than battery life. Thats why I buy top model smartphone. Snapdragon or Exynos? I would choose Exynos given what I had over the past 2 years starting from S6e.

I think Samsung is choosing to venture into the unknown path of wide cpu design for a good reason. If they are going heavy into AI in near future, I think these computing power will make more sense.
*
It doesn't make no sense at all for Samsung to drop the chip development which is always the integral part of their semiconductor business.

Hi, is there anyway to boost reception for Maxis on my S9+? I have been having 4g 2 bars in office and sometimes disconnection using internet.

You can try to tell them to reset your data account connection

I tried this and the connection is more stable,  but still shows 4g 2 bars only. When I received call,  voice quality was bad and my tethering apps got disconnected,  signs at dropped to H+.

May I know why band 7?

Thanks.

It's quiet common for Maxis data connection quality to drop to H+ when u receiving any call.. According to the Maxis technician

I still think that you should call their Hotline to reset your data account connection

Yay, new casing from Shopee!

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

Ok, sharing some reviews on cases I've owned (will share actual photos later):

1) Poetic Nubuck

user posted image

- tight-fitting casing 
- no smudge on the back
- feels solid on hand, good leather grip 
- hard to press the buttons 
- heavier than Ringke Fusion and XOne Dropguard 1.0 

2) Poetic Affinity (Black & Clear, I own 2)

user posted image

- tight-fitting casing
- has smudges on the back, but lesser than Ringke Fusion 
- thinner than Ringke Fusion, Poetic Nubuck and XOne Dropguard 1.0 (but very thin sampai jadi risau)  hmm.gif
- good grip 
- lightest of all the casings I have

3) Ringke Fusion (Smoke & Mirror)

user posted image

- fitting memang ngam! 
- Smoke color looks cool, Mirror-finish on the back also cool, good for the person we are taking photos off (boleh betulkan muka, senyum)
- smudges a lot  sad.gif
- good grip 
- weight is just right 

4) XOne Dropguard 1.0 (Clear)

user posted image

- fitting is ok
- mine was yellowish, wonder if only for this unit  sad.gif
- lesser smudge than Ringke Fusion  :thumbsup:
- good grip, somehow I feel like the phone feels longer, hm? 
- light casing, good bump protection 

5) XOne Dropguard 2.0 (Black)

- to be reviewed

6) Ringke Invisble Defender Screen Protector

- it wraps on the sides of the phone nicely
- good, smooth touch, no rubbery feel unlike the Clear Coat I had for S7 Edge last time
- but, once you changed or put casings repeatedly, the sides moved and gathered dusts

7) Generic Whitestone Dome Tempered Glass

- the glass is of good fitting, smooth to touch, case friendly, tested with all casings
- I messed up during application, got dusts trapped  doh.gif
- the LOCA glue smells awful, burns my eyes and my fingers ( or am I too sensitive?)  bye.gif

8) Skool Tempered Glass

- bought from a stall at Aeon Bukit Tinggi
- good fit, case friendly and smooth to touch
- but, it gathers dusts on the sides after a while
- responsive with touch sensitivity on (oh, well, RM35 only)

9) OTAO Case Friendly Tempered Glass

- to be reviewed

Conclusion, I love the weight of Ringke Fusion, but the fitting of Poetic cases.
And hope they are smudge free. My OCD.

Anyone using s9 with Samsung tablet?
Can the gallery from my S9 sync with the gallery on the tablet if both are using same Samsung account
*
The answer is yes as long as u r using the Sambung devices... It will auto sync with your Samsung cloud account once u tick that option in the gallery setting.
