China no brand casing, i guess its the only transparent real tempered glass back casing with rubber bumper on Taobao. The other 2 with glass case has metal bumpers.
Ringke i dun think is glass, its either TPU, acrylic or hard plastic.
more disccusion for hardware, software and accs plz

For the TGSP The dust is not under the TG but at the side. My installation isnt perfect either, got minor air bubble at side but doesnt disturb the viewing experience. There is also a minor crack after dropping the phone 3 times, not sure if those expensive TG can wisthand the impact or not since the phone is heavy.
For the glass case, im not sure how the flew in, maybe from the camera and fingerprint area,. But so far no crack after 3 drops.
Overall i dont notice much weight difference since the phone is already heavy.

luckily u get urself installed the TG 1st before you drop ur phone. i'm curious how did u drop ur phone for 3 times?
Don't worry, this version less cursing Smart Gadget
Lol. Luckily im not buying with this smart gadget. With confident they claimed. Postage next day after payment. Majority of their buyer didnt get phone on time. Duhhhh

the casing looks good, well spent.
My own phone barely a month old (not a #papan9, still a glass sandwich though) but I've dropped it countless times already lol, so not surprised if other folks do the same.
In my case, thankfully my front X-One + back clear soft vinyl skin + Rugged Armor are all doing their jobs.

Pros and cons lor. On the plus side, I saved additional RM250 (Qoo10 coupon) + RM 74 (ShopBack Rebate). The price to pay for that is a slightly longer wait before getting my device

Anyways, I think we covered Qoo10 and Smart Gadget too much already in previous version... change topic bro.. so have you decided to leave the resolution at WQHD or back to FHD+?

Not every seller is bad, i bought from 11street and got my phone on Haji. They open the shop for 3 hours to cater for self collect buyer. And even give additional 64GB SD card on top of the RM250 + RM70 cashback
Guys, need your help to check. When I shake shake shake my phone with closer to my ear, i can hear something loose and moving inside the upper part of the phone. anyone can try and feedback? Like something screw and metal part "longgar" in the phone.

how did you guys get this rm74 (shopback rebate) i only got rm250 rebate?
i found that the trickiest part when installing this UV TP is when you put the glass on and let the glue flows to cover the whole TP. i got bubble at the side and middle then i slide it up down up down for many minutes to push the bubble out. is damn annoying. once you got all the bubble out and make sure no excess glue leaking then the UV part is very straight forward.

no worries, its due to Camera Lens Barrel that required to operate the Auto Focus function. happens with s9+
Well your phone do last long. My phone did not even reach one day. Around 5 pm with 38% battery left with 3 and a half hours SOT only. It seems my Note9 phone is repeating the same problem that happened with my old Note8. RMA perhaps?

Since we still in the battery topic, I'm wondering if I'm the only 1 paranoid enough to follow the 40-80 rules? means charge till 80 and charge back at 40. This is crazy. That means we only use 40% of the battery lol ... 1 day need charge 2 times ... I see ppl post SOT all also start from 100% ....
But your standby time is amazing. I unplugged around 8 am and left with 38% battery at 5 pm. That is not what I expect from a 4000 mAh battery. The battery life is around the same as my old Note8 after change battery and mobo previously.
So it mean we cant touch our Gear Sport to card terminal for transaction?
The PayWave one can such as at McD and KFC. But at Petronas that uses swipe cannot. Only Gear S3 supports MST. Even the new Galaxy Watch also did not have MST.

same here, first one/two days i drained battery from 90 to 20% quite happy with SOT. now just stick with 40-80 cause i have ready access to charger most of the day.

So after all the fuss, we still need charge battery 2 times a day =.=
I also noticed the battery performance not that different from my Note 8. Very similar, quite weird as the battery difference 3300 vs 4000.
Now thinking if I should reformat & start again from scratch...
That is what I noticed also. It seems the new Exynos proc is quite a battery guzzler on mobile data when compared with my old Note8. My Note8 on full mobile data can last till night around 8 pm with less than 15% battery life.
i got 15-18 hours with email sync but no more social apps
Actually all my sync options are on all the time (that's the main purpose of having SMART phone 😉) Here is most used apps for today +30 min call on WhatsApp P. S: when I took this screenshot, SOT is around 7 hours and 13%of battery remained

Are u heavy usage or screen brightness very high ? Mine on auto brightness, morning 9am 100%, 10pm still have 40-50%. within this 13 hours, screen 18%, pubg 10% for 1hr38mins, device idle 4%, others...whatsapp, wechat, fb, insta, snapchat, youtube, chrome, camera, games

Btw anybody interested in UV Glue TG buzz me. Got a set to let go. 2x glass, 2x glue and 1x uv light in the pack. RM50 for the whole set (actual cost)
Decided to go naked all the way, feels much better.
I also using other brand UV Glue TG 5D but after few day , corner of the TG slowly "open", dont know how to explain, changed 2nd pcs already Do you have any idea why like that ？

Probably ur glue quality not good or the TG glass is not curved exactly to the phone screen edge curvature hence the glass slowly lifting over time

Yeah, I agree. In terms of standby drain, the Note 9 seems pretty similar to the S9+ and Note 8 in terms of battery drain rate although it has a bigger capacity battery. In usage I'm sure it can achieve a higher SOT if you're constantly using it or watching a video. Either the processor or the UI is sucking up juice during standby, and that's a bit disappointing.

Yeah..u should continue the 40-80 rules. i already done it..but i charge from 20% till 80%..it will make your battery life long life span. Please do once a month to drain your battery until 0% then full charges till 100%. this will make your battery better.

What's that spike in your battery usage? Gaming or GPS usage? Such a steep jump

Well, i'm not a game person to play a game for whole day. I only surfing such as fb, twitter, instagram and whatsapp. A little bit watch youtube and movie.
I received my Note 9 (128GB) PO unit from Sen Heng on 21 Aug, just in time before flying to Daejeon, South Korea for work related training. To my surprise one of the training coordinators spotted me using Note 9 and inquired about it.
Apparently, the 128GB model costs them USD1K equivalent in Korean Won. Our PO units are almost USD100 cheaper than what they get in Korea . SME really gave us a good deal this time

Yup, after the Note 8 and S9+ I kinda made up my mind not to try another Samsung anymore, but the pre-order deal was too good to turn down.
With this Qoo10 RM400 voucher and a new unit going for RM3080, good luck to those scalpers who thought of making a quick buck selling their units for 3300 or so in the Garage Sale

Actually, Samsung if not most brand implemented snow sort of restrictions to NVR let it drain till 0 nor up to 100%... Depending on manufacturers, it's either low 10% and upper 90%
I'm following the 80-40 as well since I wanted longevity as much as possible plus it's not an issue for me.. my S9+ lasted from 80+ to 50+ when reach home.. b4 bath, top up abit until 60+, b4 dinner top up abit to 70+, b4 SLP top up abit to 80+
Jz no nd to be so strict about it. And enjoy Ur phone..

I use the 40-80 rules with my S7 Edge and Note 8, and the battery health status seems to be amazingly good. My Note 8 retains 97% battery health after almost a year of using and 83% for my S7E after almost 2.5 years.
I never drained my battery until 0%, as I read that it is bad. Not sure whether is it true or myth.

Where u get this info? According to battery university site, they only stated 3 months once or if u felt the battery gauge incorrect.
Most of the time they jz remind NVR drain to 0 or top up until 100

That patern show the battery was 33% low then i charged till 80%. That why it looks a bit drop then super increase like that. As far i know note 9 is faster charging (33%-80% only took 20 minutes as seen on accu battery apps). If i do normal charging till 100% it will be take approximately 1 hours 12 minutes (if my battery is 33%).
Spike is due to charging, no? It looks like he top up to 80%.

Ahh, OK, that explains it. Thanks for the clarification, folks. That looked new to me coz I don't charge my phone midway through a day, hehe. I let it run down for the whole day then charge at night when I'm home
i only heard about this 40-80 rule.. so basically just use ur phone until 40% then charge it to 80% then continue the cycle?
If you are going to change phone every 2 years. I think you can use your phone to the fullest. Don't drain to below 5% and don't charge more than 95% should be good.

Yup, I absolutely agree and it makes total sense. No need to stress so much as long as you don't abuse the battery.

Yes you said it is true. But some of blog i research they give opinion like that. Depends on how you to manage that battery. But the better way is : 1. Follow rules 40-80 2. Never drain the battery till 0% 3. Never charging the battery till 100% 4. Restart your phone once in month. 5. Never put your hp in hot place ( hot sun in a car) or cold place (put in refrigerator to cool down). This will damage the battery life. 6. The best way to put your hp is in room temperature. Not too cold or too hot.
Alternative, you can try Tronsmart. It has fast wireless charging as well for one of its models.
Yes Transmart a good brand with long warranty. Personally , i fancy the Aukey PB-XN5 5000mAh which is a lightweight and slim but have no Quick Charge function.Lazy to wait

Hm.. I think you guys just too fuss about the screen protector.... Previously I'm using S7 edge, give it a Clear Coat and a good casing... doesn't have scratches and cracked... lasted me for 2years plus and now given to my mom use....
I can invite you using my referral code, and you can get RebateMango Gold status and get almost RM100 in cashback. Then go to Qoo10 via the RebateMango link and buy as usual. Make sure there is no item in your cart before proceeding. But need to wait up to 90 days to get the cashback.

My Note 3 never have any screen protector. No scratch and still in original battery. How many years already. For sure more than 2 years I con't even have casing since day 1

Very tempting to own this Note 9
yeah i agree with you on sync options
but my Note 8 battery draining so fast
mind you unplugged at 5.30am but 40% left at 12.00pm with 2hrs ++ SOT
sabar saja lah love this Note 8 only the battery quite small
Ok la. Anyway it seems you have the same problem as my old Note8. I advise you to go to any Samsung SC to get your battery and mobo replaced. For me it is not normal for that kind of battery drain. Just lie to them said battery drain a lot, phone is always hot and ask them to change battery and mobo together.

Actually I also owned the Note 8 for about a month and yeah, besides the battery, there isn't really much of a reason to upgrade. Might as well keep your Note 8 and wait for the next one
Anyway just want to confirm with you guys, is it normal with this kind of battery life? 1 hour SOT ald 20% battery power lost. It seems way worst than my Note8 after I replaced that mobo and battery of my Note8.

thank you bro for the advice. will go to SC maybe later this month
never thought there is something wrong with the battery
because i always think this problem due to digi signal is weak
but at home when on wifi also the battery draining fast

It seems that it is the same problem with some other Note8 users. And I am one of them. After change battery and mobo unplugged 8 am can last till 5 pm with 20% battery left.

I normally lose my first 20% to my first hour of SOT too, but the difference is that I've plugged out my phone since a full charge at 10pm the previous night.

how do we know if battery drain due to weak telco signal
sometimes i felt this is the biggest culprit
my phone become hot and need to switch off
and i'm not running any games or high resources apps

mine was bad during the first week. nothing compared to my p20 pro. on the eight day everything was superb, i guess it takes time for the phone to learn your usage pattern and also for the battery optimisation. managed to get 5 hours plus SOT and left with 35 percent after 16 hours standby. Im running dual sim as well.

That is why I felt kind of weird. I just left my phone last night on WiFi with AOD off, I lost around 8% of battery in one night. The same problem that happened during my Note8 days. But the Note8 previously battery drain is more aggressive, 8 am unplugged 3 pm battery almost out. That is why I want to ask any Note9 users here experiencing what I experience?

Usually the cell standby battery drain is quite high but Note8 most users in the other forum are experiencing almost the same problem. Battery seems to deplete at a faster rate than usual. And my case after change mobo and battery easily last till 6 pm with some percentage of battery left.
I start having minor scratches on my screen hahaha. I think its from the fake beach sands at Sunway Lagoon.
Sooo tempted to amik hammer and break the screen and claim screen warranty but sabar je la sampai near the end.
Long way to go... another 11 months
Think of it like the windsceen on your car... you have a small chip off but you have to tahan because if you claim insurance already then for the remaining period need to insure again or be super duper careful!

Overnight battery drain is an inherent Android problem but it seems to be worse off in Samsung devices. I tried the S8, S8+, Note 8 and even S9+. Losing 6% to 8% overnight is normal if you leave the settings as it is. What I do now is when I go to bed, I turn off location, switch on data saver, and put the phone on mid-battery saving. That gets my overnight battery drain to about 3% overnight (approximately 7-8 hours), which is acceptable for me.
Before this I had the P20 Pro, and the drain was slightly better, it was about 3% to 4% if I didn't tweak any settings overnight.

Mine.. Over 5 years, but been in cases and TG secured.. Still fresh and my beast till next Note release.. From next year, will probably remove all protection and use the phone as slim as intended.. Enjoy some feel good before selling off or keeping as memorabilia..

Haha, camera quality sure can compare with today's phone models. HDR, OIS, AI this and that, etc.. Absolutely can't compare. Luckily I'm not a photos guy and easily pleased in that department.
Haha. Thats so called gorilla glass 5 is nothing sometimes. Still let ur screen scratch though utuber show it can resist knife. Lol
Yeah.. I'm surprised too.. I mean, they really have to scratch it hard before it scratches start to appear. So beats me how with significantly less force with daily usage, it manages to get scratched so easy..
Overnight battery drain is an inherent Android problem but it seems to be worse off in Samsung devices. I tried the S8, S8+, Note 8 and even S9+. Losing 6% to 8% overnight is normal if you leave the settings as it is. What I do now is when I go to bed, I turn off location, switch on data saver, and put the phone on mid-battery saving. That gets my overnight battery drain to about 3% overnight (approximately 7-8 hours), which is acceptable for me.
Before this I had the P20 Pro, and the drain was slightly better, it was about 3% to 4% if I didn't tweak any settings overnight.
It seems like it. But what I noticed your estimated battery life is almost 1 day but mine is less than half. Ald used more than 1 week and no improvement.
Think of it like the windsceen on your car... you have a small chip off but you have to tahan because if you claim insurance already then for the remaining period need to insure again or be super duper careful!
Already put a reminder on my Google Calendar to break it on July next year lol.

Like you, I'm still on same battery. Rose Gold color peeled off in some places though because never use any casing.
I still have my Galaxy S with same plastic protector given by the shop still ticking on its original battery. It is without casing since day 1. I've been using this phone with my Note 3 for personal and office use until recently replaced by Note 9. Now can carry 1 phone only

Ya bro. In jerry rig video need to up till very hard material to scratch it. But real usage. Inside pocket also can make it scratch. Haha. Thats why i go naked. Sure casing itself sometimes can cause scratch with the trapped dust.

I started using mine less than a week, on our National Day to be exact. I think it boils down to apps and usage. Did you play games on it during the week? I don't play games, and my usage is mostly just web browsing, FB, WhatsApp, some YouTube vids, emails and maybe some online banking/shopping.

No games at all on my phone. All my games I play and Netflix and Hulu stream solely on my iPad Pro only. My phone is mostly for social apps, shopping, online banking and emails. And some YouTube. And I activated the phone on 25 September.

If me? I'm willing to risk going naked. Just buy extended warranty and screen protection plan. Use raw all the way. But with SO? Cannot, it's only a matter of when and how hard it'll fall..or it getting scratched in handbags.
Ok la. Anyway it seems you have the same problem as my old Note8. I advise you to go to any Samsung SC to get your battery and mobo replaced. For me it is not normal for that kind of battery drain. Just lie to them said battery drain a lot, phone is always hot and ask them to change battery and mobo together.
I am using Note FE now.. still thinking whether it is my battery problem or what? the cell STANDBY sucks almost half of the battery usage while i saw most of note 9 user only draing 1-3%. My note FE still under warranty.. can let them check my battery and mobo also

I use the 40-80 rules with my S7 Edge and Note 8, and the battery health status seems to be amazingly good. My Note 8 retains 97% battery health after almost a year of using and 83% for my S7E after almost 2.5 years.
I never drained my battery until 0%, as I read that it is bad. Not sure whether is it true or myth.

My Note 8 had very bad battery drain. Battery wear was at 91% for an almost 1 year old phone. So I sent it in and got the battery replaced under RMA. Results, battery life back to normal liao, previous battery was dead.
Maciam semua been complaining how bad the battery in Note 9 is, same reason why i sold my S8 last time.
Maybe i should letgo my new N9 and stick with LG V30 jer, the battery is beyond awesome!
Not all. Maybe some of us got a bad unit. Like my old Note8, the battery drain is not logical. Unplugged at 8 am, fully drained at 3 pm. After change mobo and battery, easily last till night. So cannot blame fully on proccessor like you did previously. And it depends on you, no one stopping you to sell ur Note9. I mostly stick with the Note series because of the productivity features. If not I already abandoned the Note series a long time ald.

Ya, maybe when you do pass by a service centre just get it looked at, and if it's OK then maybe just get a wireless charger that you can leave your phone on whenever you are at home or in a car and let it charge whenever you can. No point sweating over it

Same reason I sold my S8, S8+, Note 8 and S9+ But to be honest though, of that bunch, the S8+ had the best battery life, but the 4GB RAM stutters a little on Samsung's UI.

Actually one has to clear cache after updating the FW to get the best battery life and performance out of the phone. Many dont. If you restore from a previous phone, best is to leave out your APP data and set up fresh. Many apps drains battery because its data was transferred over from another phone and this is considered a poor install. Even Samsung SES technical staff recommends you to do this.

I just do fresh installs everytime I get an Android phone
It takes forever, but at least it's one worry less of having rogue apps draining battery in the background.
Actually all my sync options are on all the time (that's the main purpose of having SMART phone 😉) Here is most used apps for today +30 min call on WhatsApp P. S: when I took this screenshot, SOT is around 7 hours and 13%of battery remained
Haha. Thats so called gorilla glass 5 is nothing sometimes. Still let ur screen scratch though utuber show it can resist knife. Lol
Glass can withstand hardness up to 6 only, sand has a hardness of 8. The screen will definitely get scratched up on day to day use, especially when you put it inside the pocket. Knife has a hardness of 3 so they won't scratch the screen.
I'm using FHD+ as didn't noticed any obvious difference between FHD and WQHD. Some users reported that there is no major difference between FHD and WQHD in terms of battery usage

Because there isn't suppose to be any. Such a beast of a phone, truly wasting it's potential if ran on FHD.

Anyone faced this error while opening "fg_fullcapnom" file? I tried many root/file explores such as EX Explorer/ Total Commander/ Solid Explorer, but all of those apps give me same error! I think I don't have some permission to open this file but I don't know how to get that permission
Ouch! That's bad and probably a lemon battery unit inside. I guess, just gotta spare the time to visit the Samsung SC for a new battery.
Sien.. Hate to repair, just in case they dont seal back properly then later not so water resistant anymore.

Only big difference arise is when gaming. Other than that its barely an hour lesser in SOT.
Single tap is free. To map long press then you will need to purchase the full version. Bought the full version and mapped long press to activate the flash light. Very useful

screen off working ? my not working on screen off but n8 bixby is ok ...
Fresh better.. As most of the app data can now be synced to cloud. Damn... Cant they just open the battery and replace it.. Need to format all.. Setting up blockchain wallet and Google Auth is quite irritating.
you can request them not to format.
They will tell u they will "try" their best.
But once u collect your phone, u can be rest assured its formatted

After update my phone to the latest firmware, I format my phone again via the normal way and the Power+Bixby+Volume Up button and setup the phone as a fresh install after that.

A FW update consists of the latest improvements, upgrades and bug elimination for the particular FW. I dont see any reasons not to update your phone with it.
Damn... Cant they just open the battery and replace it.. Need to format all.. Setting up blockchain wallet and Google Auth is quite irritating.
Nope. Which is understandable as they would not want any rogue apps to continue draining your battery after replacing it with a new one. If I were Samsung SES, I would want to format your phone as well to prevent all unneccessary and untoward complains like missing data, missing pictures etc.
hope that u r not that suai..keep getting lemon unit.
Hahaha. Now don't care much. Been getting lemon units since the Note7 days. I do remember the memories using the Note7. It was fun but a really new experience for me.

My battery life on full 4G data. I don't know whether it is good or not. 5 hours SOT.
if u want good SOT ? keep using ur phone (screen on) for 6 hour, than u have 6hr SOT , if not heavy user like others, phone idle will drain all our juice ...

Considering you have AOD on, I would say it's OK. I don't use AOD - not because I wanna conserve battery but because I prefer my phone screen blank... years of conditioning as a result of using iPhones

Don't worry as the SC technicians will perform IP68 water resistance test before releasing your phone back to you. Basically it is as good as new.

Hahaha. Anwyay will try to monitor again for the next few days. If consistent around that mark, that means no problem with my phone.
Owh didnt know about it.. Since they going to format the phone.. Hopefully they didnt install propertly so fail water test and give me a new phone.
AFAIK, Im pretty sure it wont happen. The seal is actually some type of glue/sealant like the ones you use to install your TG. When technicians apply around the edges inside the phone, the glue actually dries up and forms a seal. someting like gasket sealers commonly used in car engines.

Correcto, they do exactly that and dip it under water for around 20 mins to see if it hold the IP68 test.

ok, after they dip in, how do they tell water not leaking in ? measuring that water tank (left over) ? or switch on the phone, if the phone ok means ok ?

According to the industry standard, it's supposed to be submersible at 1 metre's depth for 30 minutes. So I suppose after that given time, the device it supposed to be able to power on and function normally.

In all my Androids and iPhone I will always immediate update the firmware once available. I am never concerned about others feedback as some are positive and some are negative too. I always felt own assessment is always the best Till now I had no serious regrets updating firmware on all my phones

so if there is water leak in but unit still able to power on, Buyer going to bare that consequences when the phone died cause of water damage ? That not industry standard, that is BAWAH POKOK standard la.

The SC is obviously not gonna return your phone in that condition if it fails the test. They have an obligation to ensure that it passes the test, further more if the phone is under warranty. Most of us who have visited the Samsung SC can attest that they do a very good job.

I cannot give you an answer to tell you how they quantitatively measure a pass or fail because I am not a technician at Samsung SC but rest assured I will ask to find out more the next time I pay them a visit.
Just notice my Note 9 central lense... is not "centrally aligned" to the back casing. Very obvious being off centre.. damn...
Yes mine too.. After watching the reviews on Youtube all units have the same problem too. Even one of the reviewer did mention it was off axis and annoying.
Just a couple quick question. Using the ori flip case clear view from samsung. 1) do I still need a tg? 2) If I use whitestone tg will the case be weird and won't fit well. 3) is whitestone glass better than t-max? 4) what's the best deal I can get for tg at the moment?

Thanks for the reply. Probably due to small dust particles in the pocket making it scratch.

If you don't like the idea of TG, at least get a decent SP over the screen. At least, it will protect against the sand or micro particle scratches when kept inside the pocket.

Yes, they will perform a factory reset, so remember to back up your data before heading over to the SC.

I dont think tempered glass is necessary. Silicon film screen protector should protect it from scratches (take it from me, someone who already scratched his screen), Samsung Case should be elevated enough to do any real damage to the screen.

Cannot speak for other brands but if you are talking about UAG, it definitely has amazing protection, have tested it for the last 5 years. Haha!
I think most UAG people here are long time loyalists. So go figure why UAG can get and convert so many loyal customers. xD kinda speaks for itself.

It has been the same case for all phones. There is always a price to pay for being an early adopter. The official RRP of the Note 9 still maintains at rm3699, it is only Qoo10 that is offering the discount vouchers.

Perhaps it's jz me I been using glass and pet protector for years and honestly I don't feel much difference unless I test it side by side which glass wins by low margin.

So jelly la to those who bought for cheaper than rrp... well thats the price to pay to be the earliest to get though so many lesson learnt that place like lazada qoo10 11street will get cheaper with voucher eventually
The best deal that i've come across so far during early PO period has to be from one of the sellers in 11street.
3699 PO set with Gear Sport - 250 (11st voucher) - 69 (shopback cashback) = 3380 with FOC 64GB Samsung Evo MicroSD card.
Yes mine too.. After watching the reviews on Youtube all units have the same problem too. Even one of the reviewer did mention it was off axis and annoying.
It IS quite annoying now that I realise it hahaha...
Just notice my Note 9 central lense... is not "centrally aligned" to the back casing. Very obvious being off centre.. damn...

Just use the Smart Switch, it will do the trick and perform the migration even from Apple to Samsung. Usually, everything you select will get transferred.
Just got my ringke onyx and PET film protector from taobao on Monday. Been using the combination for two days, I'm happy with it. The oleophobic feel on the film is very good and smooth, very close to glass feel. I'm a bit regret on getting the purple case though, the color is lighter than my expectation, looks feminine to me. Should have gotten the black one. I just put on a matching wallpaper with the purple case.

Just sharing, i accidentally found something useful.
Eventually, there is a setting to avoid user to off WiFi / Mobile Data from lock screen.
Go to Settings > Lock Screen > Secure Lock Settings > Lock network and security. Turn it ON and it can prevent other people to off WiFi / Mobile Data so that easier to locate phone if it's lost. *touch wood*

Yes, but it's a decent trade off for the protection.
You all keep thinking that it's bulky but Spigen tough Armor or otterbox are even worse for the same level of protection. And Spigen rubber will deteriorate, starts becoming loose over time because the grade is just not good. UAG is the only one that can keep it decently stylish and thin with the best protection. Lol.

Just did a fresh install yesterday, before that I used smart switch to restore everything and battery was not ideal. It is much better now it seems. So for ppl who see their battery performing badly and used smart switch to restore app data. Can consider doing a clean install.
Cannot speak for other brands but if you are talking about UAG, it definitely has amazing protection, have tested it for the last 5 years. Haha!
I think most UAG people here are long time loyalists. So go figure why UAG can get and convert so many loyal customers. xD kinda speaks for itself.
So true! I am one of the loyal customers. One time I use Spigen Neo Hybrid for my Note 4 where previously using UAG for my Note 3 and regret it soon after. That case does not even able to protect my phone at all. After two months using the Note 4, my Note 4 fall flat on the floor and crack the screen. Burn RM700. And on that day I immediately buy a UAG case after that happened. Since that day, UAG cases all the way.
Even my brother also now using UAG because of the design and the protection it provides.
You all keep thinking that it's bulky but Spigen tough Armor or otterbox id even worse.. UAG is the only one that can keep it decently stylish and thin with the best protection. Lol.
It is definitely very bulky to me...regretted buying it for previous Note. Thin ?? - you must be joking

Yes, I've used Otterbox before as well. In that sense, the UAG is slightly less bulky and definitely lighter

Oh really? I used smart switch to restore and i found that note 9 battery doesn't meet my expectation. Perhaps its time for me to have a fresh restore

UAG looks very rugged but too bold for my liking...don't really like the strong cross lines and 4 fake screws at each corner. It does gives the illusion that it's very bulky industrial look although in actual fact could be slimmer than others.
Spigen's subdued design has always been classy for me, protection is a plus.
Lol seems like i'm the only one among the sea of UAG's here.
Well anyway, one man's meat is another man's poison.

I am comparing with the ones that claim to give ultimate protection. If you are telling me about the Spigen thin case series, of course it's bulkier. But it's entirely different series altogether.

Stylish and thin for UAG?
I think that would be a slap in the face for Samsung's designers as so much of hard work and dedication has gone into designing one of the best looking smartphones around, giving it a premium feel with curves and edges at the right places. Owners slap on a case that makes the phone looks like a piece of brick.
Then again, this is personal preference. I personally wouldn't use anyting more than the silicon backcover from Nilllkin or the original supplied back cover.

The thing is my old Note Fe i never turn "Smart Stay" On but i do not have such issue.
I guess i know what u meant. I'm suspecting the culprit is FB app itself. So far video in IG does not automatically turn the screen off after a period of time.
Do u still have the Note FE with u ? Maybe u can try to install latest FB app in Note FE & see if the same thing happens...
Using Plasma Ash with my Blue N9, initially i dont like the design at all but considering the protection that it give, i bought it anyway before my Dbrand skin + rhinoshield arrive. I was shocked how it actually not bulky at all and the design is not bad..
I'm wondering if those listing their Note 9 for sale at 3400 is oblivious to the Qoo10 offer or they got the offer and are scalping those who are in the dark?
Slickwraps is having 60% now. Ending in 5hrs time.
Hows the quality compared to dBrand? But this dont have free shipping, need to pay USD5
last time i used slickwraps was on note 5. peel it back after 2 days. dont really like it. quality wise around 70%-80% of dbrand? because still got some glue after peel out. not on dbrand.
Is this compatible with Samsung dex? My friend bought one but only can do mirroring.
Did he test it with Note 9 or previous Samsung flagship?
If Note 9 should work, but if previous Samsung Flagship need one with external usb C to provide power or else it will be mirroring. That is how it was with my S8.

What's the setup? He has a hdmi to hdmi cable connected to the TV. The other end connected to this adaptor, then the adaptor to his phone.
yaya, i do full glue, if half glue is around rm25 but corner still slowly lifting
any other note9 owner here ? is it very normal that the TG will "lift up" for note9 ?
It won't lift if properly installed. You can try buying a Hoda or T-max from one of our forumer, Sakuraz and get him to do the installation for you. Satisfaction guaranteed.
bought few case from tao bao and received today. But want let go Ringke Fusion X Series Black, anyone want and willing to let go MYR50. Just took out front and back sticker and try, still prefer UAG case. PM me... COD at Pavilion. Thanks

Gear sport only for pre order customers. Now u can only enjoy qoo10 discount + cashback
Now how do you connect a mouse and keyboard to it? The normal Bluetooth keyboard and mouse with a receiver won't work right?
If its already Bluetooth, why would you need a receiver? I use Alcatroz Dock 2 keyboard with mine. Right now they are going on sale at Popular for just 100.

Sounds to me like scalpers excuse or reason as I saw they are selling at the RRP, when they actually bought it much cheaper with the Qoo10 voucher.

Maybe try a restart before you sleep tonight and see if that helps.
oh really? gonna try it out now, anyways, any benefit for us to restart our phone daily/weekly?
There are multiple reasons why you’re supposed to restart your phone at least once a week, and it’s for a good cause: retaining memory, preventing crashes, running more smoothly, and prolonging battery life.

So far, never encountered these kind of memory leaks or wake lock issues with my S7E and Note 8.
If you want to monitor the background apps, you can download and install this app called Accubattery. It monitors your background usage and also your phones battery health status. Kill two birds with one stone.

The health app is not really one of Samsung's main priority in development for now but hey it works well, besides the battery drain the app causes.
True Bro. So hopefully they gradually keep improving to perfect it. The battery drain can be tackled with a few software updates if they really serious about resolving it.

Seriously??? I don't bother to restart at all. The last time I did that was on firmware update. Phone had been performing well since day one and don't see any need to restart it. Unless it hang but yet to experience it

For SP Clear-Coat or Whitestone Dome is better ? Better accuracy for S-Pen ?
im not sure either its only me who facing these "minor" problem.
when u applied any TG, if u're trying to wrote something at the curve EDGE side, ur accuracy will be off-set. may be because the there's a additional ply (original screen + TG) that makes the minor issue.
but does anyone practically use their s-pen to wrote something at the EDGE of the curve screen?
How to set custome notification sound for apps? quite confusing all notification sound the same
Go to Settings > Notifications... You may set different notification sounds for each app. Or when u received a notification & you wan to change the sound, hold the notification & swipe to left or right slowly until u see the Setting icon. Tap the settings icon to go into that app notification setting & you can set custom sound from there.

Ok, this is not proven scientifically, but here’s my “ritual” every night before I sleep (when using Androids)
- Turn on Do Not Disturb (with exception of repetitive phone calls or calls from Contacts) - Turn off WiFi (but make sure your mobile network is strong in your room) - I read somewhere in another forum that there’s a bug in Oreo that disturbs the Doze mode in Android when connected to WiFi) - Turn off Location and turn on data saver.

Very true, especially 2nd point. Bad/weak mobile signal will suck up batt juice like mad. Better still, switch off the phone completely during your nap time

Wah.. This is extreme.. I dont bother. I turn off Wifi while Data is on default On and I set my AOD to turn off at 12am and turn on at 7am. Battery drain varies from 6-8% per night.

Yeah, that’s how I get 2-3% lor. If I do nothing, it’s between 6% to 8% as well. As a default I don’t use AOD, not due to worry of screen burnts or battery life but due to my conditioning from using iPhones

Point two kinda true kinda false WiFi won't disturb doze.. but it will affect standby drain depending on the strength.. Light doze activated after X time when phone screen is off Deep doze activated after X time in light doze n when device idle as on stationary

Is the mobile data connection strong in your house? If yes, just try turning off WiFi and doing nothing else different to see if there’s a change in the drain. If there is, then that helps

Signal strength of mobile n WiFi does affect the standby drain My home only have 1 to 2 bar so I tried airplane mode, WiFi on (with WiFi scanning for location accuracy off) and drain improved significantly.. from 1%/h to 0.5%/h
Tested for a week liao...
Now want to test if location on gonna affect drain significantly.. I remember reading somewhere in xda, newer gen GPS hardware uses less than 1mah/h on standby and there's no nd turn it off.. lol..
Old habits of previous android, must turn off GPS, WiFi, Bluetooth, autosync, autobrightness.. haha..

prob cause I been doing that with my one plus one since last year n its what makes the phone super laggy n overheating n didnt wan to risk it on the note 9 XD

Same here, testing & monitoring the battery by not turning off GPS for a weeks now... So far so good, battery not significant affected... I guess Android OS or newer gen of GPS restrict the GPS on battery usage...
Back in old days, GPS was turned on manually when needed (e.g. Waze, Google Maps)...

I’ve had the S8, S8+, Note 8 and the S9+. The overnight drain hasn’t improved with newer hardware or bigger battery
