we're both the same I guess, checkout few days ago.. enter CC details, but last minute call it off...... until the evil 400 appear...  tongue.gif
seems like a lot of people more inclined towards dual sim than eSim.... I wonder when xs launch in Malaysia, will that change people's mind..  biggrin.gif
*
How does that change our mind though? Unless it becomes way cheaper... or eSim is launched here. But I think will take sometime until eSim is available in Msia I guess. Dual sim still more flexible in my opinion.

Bro, you bought? Sorry I missed a few pages of posts coz I was outdoors for work. I thought you were waiting for the Xr too?

Hahaha, to be honest after reading GSMArena's review today I think it makes more sense to get an X now (or wait for the Xr) and go Xs Max or the next generation one next year when my maxis contract expires, hehe.
*
Yeah, was checking out the thread then saw the RM400 from Qoo10. Then calculated, oh same price if I converted from HKD to MYR plus T&L will back you up with warranty claim.

Quickly signed up for Qoo10 then paid for it... (without the finance minister approval haha... I'm screwed... but she worried about the glass backing.. so... XR seems better choice for her tongue.gif)

Ya, gold will be the go to color this year smile.gif Congrats again!
Ya, Qoo10 is evil! Part of me was hoping that I wouldn't be successful in getting the coupon this morning, haha. But ya, I'm also partially hesitant now coz I've never bought AP phones before. Ever. So a bit doubtful on the warranty, and a bit sayang to taint my no-AP phone record, hahaha...

Looking for a case to show off the gold color laugh.gif

64gb will be a waste of time. not only the matter of how much u can store inside at one time and how often u transfer the data from phone out to external storage.

It is the limit of the size of the 4K video you can take. Samseng limits the file size of video file one can record, but iPhone has no such limit.
*
Oh well, decided to go with the 256 GB smile.gif

Now, the network signal issue is a hit and miss? Or is it affecting specific stocks eg. HK?

So far reported only issues with hk set...hope the problem is across other country sets as well sad.gif

I searched around... many videos showing the crappy network performance and most of them is angmoh... doubt those units from HK.

But I think most of the people here is either SG or HK sets, but only HK sets reporting issues?

I agree. A lot of people facing same problem. Maybe try this? Found this somewhere.
If you’ve been experiencing slower than normal data speeds on Wi-Fi and/or cellular, you might simply have to reset your iPhone’s network settings. This is done by opening the Settings app and going to General > Reset, then selecting “Reset Network Settings.” You’ll lose all of your saved Wi-Fi network passwords in the process, but re-entering a few passwords is a small price to pay if it’ll fix any connectivity issues you’ve been having on your iPhone XS or iPhone XS Max.

I hadn’t been experiencing any noticeable speed issues on my iPhone XS, but I reset the network settings anyway and found an immediate and obvious increase in subsequent speed tests. Many people who have been experiencing slow upload and download speeds say the impact has been much more dramatic. For example, the Reddit user who started this thread found that his LTE download speed jumped from 1.66Mbps to 64.2Mbps after resetting his iPhone’s network settings. Many other Reddit users chimed in with similar experiences, though some people said that resetting their phone’s network settings had no noticeable impact on data speeds. Either way, resetting your iPhone’s network settings is clearly a good place to start if you’ve been having problems with data speeds.
*
Hmm, I have this habit to start each new iPhone I use as fresh instead of bringing forward the old data from previous iOS. Maybe the network info was corrupted perhaps... since most users would restore from previous phone.

Found the thread, https://www.reddit.com/r/iphone/comments/9i..._iphone_xs_max/ seems to fix the issue for some, and no differences for some.

QUOTE(kkkw80 @ Sep 26 2018, 10:17 PM)
I ordered mine at 10am and it’s shipped already status

Guess mine will be shipped tomorrow instead, since after the 2pm mark which normally is the cut off time for shipment arrangement.

Btw, T&L got a lot of ready stocks, I received a call from the sales person to confirm on the cancellation (reluctantly).. she said 'most likely' those who ordered yesterday, can get today or latest by tomorrow..but no promises thumbup.gif

I hope mine can be shipped out today, then got chance to receive on Friday or Saturday biggrin.gif

So is it safe to charge our iphone with QC 3.0 charger? i mean using 2.4A slot is not fast enough, or QC 3.0 will give faster charging?

Im asking for iPhone 8 Plus since u guys are discussing on it tho. my setup is still mcdodo lightning cable with ugreen qc 3.0 charger.
*
The 2018 iPhones supports QC 3.0 now?

QUOTE(ijat91 @ Sep 27 2018, 12:48 PM)
Still play around with the phone, quite big compare to my pixel 2, both phone really smooth, I don't know why people complaint Android not smooth, both are comparable, can't see the different.
Screen and speaker quality really nice, wifi so far good, will test the cellular after this
I order yesterday morning, today already get the phone, really nice packaging from T&L telecom, recommend it to all
*
Black color? Meh... now I a bit regret going Gold xD.

All my iPhones has been black/space grey. This time doing a change haha! So looking for clear case to show off the color brows.gif but deep down.. the black looks seems to look nicer now rclxub.gif

Didn't buy iPhone directly from Apple before but if based on my experience on the MBPs, iPads etc.. its basically with an oversize box while the actual box stays in the center. And yes its nice, but this T&L seems better compare to the units sent out by Maxis haha.

Share photo please, was considering a similar model from Spigen... but since you said doesn't pop the stainless steel color.. means need find one of those clear plastic? But those normally scratches really easily...

powersupport clear hard case, 1 of the best case ever. My iphone 6 plus survived all kind of drop eventho is hard case. very rock solid and slim case. the case itself is i can say is compact, not flimsy slim.

it comes with self-healing coating.

I used AirJacket matte before, but the coating came off and become clear type... a bit skeptical on the quality now. But then again, no case for XS Max from PowerSupport.

I got the notification on their shipment yesterday 27/9 but just got the reply that my item is in transit. Guess it is OTW from HK.

QUOTE(TOMEI-R @ Sep 28 2018, 11:02 AM)
This is the reply I have got from T&L regarding delivery. From the reply, I would say very likely that the phones are still in transit from HK and not ready stocks. Maybe the first batch that was delivered was ready stocks.
*
Same reply too. Probably only the first batch is ready, while the rest is OTW from HK.

QUOTE(peri peri @ Sep 28 2018, 11:12 AM)
woo hoo, direct D so smart also start selling HK set only. price cheap than Qoo10

How much cheaper? ohmy.gif Or is it cheaper than Qoo10 without the RM400 voucher?

Your order was placed in the morning? Mine is 2 PM, earlier I saw someone posting said the 256 GB Gold is out of stock then it was back in. Most likely those are not ready stocks for second batch.

i think mine in the morning. cancel the iphone x order straight paid for this xs max since it got 2 sim slots. Coz malaysia telco signal still really unreliable. I not sure how nowaday still bear with single sim phone, maybe carry 2 bulky phones in pocket  biggrin.gif

becoz m'sia set later with 1 sim slot and 1 esim is waste of time, i will rather choose ipx for harga runtuh now.

Yeah can carry both on 1 physical phone, but wonder how much hit on the battery for dual sim set up.

QUOTE(TOMEI-R @ Sep 28 2018, 12:10 PM)
Up till now, T&L has sold 55 units of the Iphone Xs Max Gold 256Gb and that is quite a lot. I would say 30% of the buyers are from LYN here.  laugh.gif

I hope it’s the right color choice, I wanted something different from my usual black/space grey and silver is pretty meh for me.

Dual Sim = Dual Standby. Definately higher batter usage. I would estimate it to be around 10% more as per android phones.
