Chiming in to support said bloke.

Had my first "drop test" last week. Phone fell from about 4-5 ft. Landed on a corner. TG survived but the Ringke Fusion suffered some scratches to the corner it landed on.

Better the case rather than the phone eh?
Quoting so I can easily refer to it later. Lol!

Ringke cases like most other clear cases will scratch very easily. The other thing is they will also turn yellow over time, but getting the Smoke Black one instead of the Clear one will help biggrin.gif

Still, like you said, better the case (and even the tempered glass) than the phone!

Why my Xs max battery drained faster than my 8 plus aaa 😢

That’s normal, isn’t it? The battery needs to power up more screen estate and push more pixels.

But what type of charger that a person is using shouldn’t affect how fast the battery drops isn’t it? 🤔

but still my xs max drain faster than my 7 plus actually. I do a bit setting to the system. I turn screen time off, I don't use parallax mode on the wallpaper, I set all my location services too while using , I using night shift only, true tone is off. It give me a better percentage of the battery.

Morning, All. How is everyone with their Xs Max? biggrin.gif

I’m really enjoying the screen display of this phone. Really nice to look at with its natural colors.

Now I’m thinking if I should get another Xs max rather than the Xr. Will see what’s the deals this weekend.

Mean you’re having the XS Max now?
Why do you think to buy another one?
For your lover is it or keep it as spare phone?

If buy for spare phone, get XR should be different feel.
I will got mine today evening for my extra toy of XR blue 256gb 🤣🤣🤣

The Xs Max display is something else smile.gif

My only gripe so far is the less than stellar battery life, especially on days that my usage is a little on the heavier side, like being a passenger in a car going for a long distance trip. Other than that, all is good thumbup.gif

Was thinking of getting an Xr too, but now I have my eyes on the new iPad Pro laugh.gif

Thats me biggrin.gif , its based on my observation for the battery life from 8 plus to the 6s. I also notice that the phone is warmer when charge using wireless compared to cable. Now i am charging xs max fully wired. Lets see in another year is the battery degrading the same. If same maybe next year xi max i will simply charge wired or wirelessly lol.
*
Hmm. What wireless charger were you using yeah? Could it possibly be poor regulation or is it just an inherent wireless charging problem. I know induction charging by its nature would produce heat as a byproduct.

I wonder if a pad with a fan would help with that.

Anyone else care to chime in?

The older models don't scratch quite so easily. Or I suppose it's because I got the smoked one for my old phone. I just noticed the yellowing when putting new and old, side-by-side. If it stands alone, it isn't very noticeable. Not bad for a three year old case.

Any recommendations for a case that also has a lanyard loop? Thought of alternating cases. Would very much like a clear back but froster side. Pure transparent kinda sucks with the black.

Would consider a rhinoshield but I've had it break from normal usage before. So feeling a bit skeptical on it now.

Guys, anyone know how to solve icloud stuck at waiting for approval on ‘Approve this iphone’?Check at other device that my xs max already in the device list, but why icloud still asked for approval?
*
You need to approve from your other iOS devices (eg. your previous iPhone) cause you have 2FA turned on.

Already reset my network setting and I am still having the same issue. Phone is showing 4G with full bar signal but mobile data cannot be used and no call can be made. Called Digi Helpline and she said that she can see that I am using XS Max in the system and she said since this device is still new, the sim card that I am using may not be compatible and she advised me to go to Digi Center to check my sim card. Hopefully it is really sim card issue or software issue and not anything related to hardware sweat.gif sweat.gif

Either that or when you just boot up phone for the first time (out from the box).

I’ve noticed quite a number of micro scratches on my Ringke already, and it’s less than a month old laugh.gif I remember when I used the clear Ringke for my Note 5 it yellowed in less than a year! Anyway I’m not gonna make too much of a fuss over a RM59 case, haha...
