On iPhone 12 is there an option to NOT set any wallpaper on lock screen ? Or there MUST have one wallpaper on lock screen as default ?

Anyone can recommend slim transparent or matte phone case ? Been looking around for transparent slim phone case but all of them still seems bulky and low quality.

Also looking for matte phone case, although that won't be transparent anymore.

**Prefer buying physically, not online. ( JB location )

Other than online, do they have any physical or authorised dealer shop in Malaysia ?

Very fast actually. Delivery is by ninjavan. I got it within a week. For me, it’s very thin so i dun dare to comment on the drop protection. When you use it, it feels like you are not using a case at all, because it’s really that slim 😅

Currently I’m not using my SlimCase because I’m using my Apple Leather case. About the yellowing part, they guarantee that it won’t turn yellow. And if it does, you can send the case back for warranty.

Ahh ok bro, eh u change to apple leather case, coz the slimcase gives u no confident or wat hahhaha

Changed to Apple leather case because poisoned by the patina on leather 😅 And the leather case feels really premium on hand too.

Oic, so other than the case is very thin and slim, any other negative experience u have ? Oh ya does the phone case's plastic feels soft and cheap like those u see everywhere ? If no then i'll go ahead and place the order.

This has probably been asked before but, is there a way or an option to NOT swipe up after scanning face ID and just automatically goes to the home screen directly ? I find this extra action quite unnecessary.

Unfortunately no. Everyone wanted this feature since iPhone X but Apple wouldn’t budge laugh.gif

tongue.gif I googled after posting this and realized yeah everyone wanted this few years ago and Apple just doesn't give a damn, anyhow not much of an annoyance, actually pretty good since u can still see notification before unlocking. Btw, they say use lint-free cloth to clean and wipe all surfaces of the iPhone, so meaning can use spectacle cloth ?

Side question - Is it generally normal for battery to drain slightly faster when using GPS like Google maps ? Be it new or old phone, no matter how good the battery is, it'll still drain much faster when using GPS ?

Ya, they have a justification for everything smile.gif

Yes and yes, you can use the cloth for your glasses to wipe the phone, no issues and using navigation apps definitely drains your battery quicker. From my experience though I found that using Google Maps drains a little less compared to using Waze.

Got it, thanks a lot bro ! Yeah I'm using google maps now, actually switched to it recently and loved it more than waze.

I love Waze because can chat brows.gif  brows.gif

When there are traffic jam, you can see people comment what happened and what lane to use.

But then waze actually drains battery much more faster than google maps right ? even some article supports that sad.gif

Do we need a lens cover protector for our iPhones ?

Source - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2jRdRMg7ds...MobileReviewsEh

Was looking at the above video just now and all the more convinced we literally do not need any lens protector for our lenses at the back. Because according to him & iPhone, our lenses glass is made of sapphire and it's very very scratch / impact resistant, he did scratch test using MOHs scale and on the 9H, it did not have a single scratch.

I was planning to get a lens protector tomorrow but luckily I found this video and seems like it saved me some money, anyone feels the same ?

Yeah, I decided there's no need at all for a lens protector so won't be getting it too.

never had any for my XS and 11 PM - still scratch free.

Exactly, the lenses is that strong and solid, I only knew after watching that video.

Just want to ask u guys here, at what percentage % do u let ur iphone battery drops to before u charge it ? I know there probably isn't a general rule of thumb as to when to charge the phone, but just wanna know at what % do most people let their battery drops to before charging for "optimum" result to the battery's lifespan.

so far, i've never removed my case when I'm charging. just make sure the environment is a bit cooling when you charge your phone. avoid doing it in the car where heat is extremely high during day time.
*
Got it, I always try to charge my phone in my room, not when I'm outside.

QUOTE(emilyngsc @ Jan 3 2021, 08:33 AM)
As long around 40% and charge until around 80%
Don’t use your phone while charging and be patient about it. Don’t charge during your phone is warm.
*
I see, ok that's what I've been doing, I charge it around 40-50% to only 80%. I don't use my phone either.

Just want to ask another question, I'm looking to get those transparent slim phone case which shows off the phone's color, at the same time provide some drop-protection like Slimcase .co, are those slim case really worth it ? It goes for around RM 91 ( sale ) atm, or should I just go SWITCH / MACHINES and get proper apple's phone case protection like those leather / silicone case ?

Just got my Apple's silicone case, for those who is using it, do u notice after u put on the case, probably due to the magsafe thing, when u lock ur phone the sound is different and actually quite loud ?

Did some googling and they say it's software issue, should probably be fix soon, anyone else experience this ?

I strongly suggest you avoid Slimcase this brand and go for another alternative brand. Try Hoda, Casetify or even Ringke or Spigen clear case.

Sorry for those Slimcase fans, I personally don’t like it!

Fortunately I fell in love with Apple's Silicone Case, just got it and loving it so so much. Only weird thing is that the lock screen sound is somehow different and loud, thats why asking if anyone here experiencing that when using apple's case.

Normally for me whatever percentage left on the battery at night after a day's of usage. Normally between 40% to 50%, heaviest usage so far is till about 30%.
I read that somewhere too but I can't be bothered laugh.gif
Hahahah same, for me I just use my phone normally, and when it reaches at night, sometimes still left 50-60 %, sometimes 40%, so normally i'll charge at around 40, and always until 80% only as recommend. As for taking our casing, i realize there isnt a need for it, wat i do is i flip the phone when charging, so the screen is facing down, this way the heat should be able to disperse even better ?

Btw u using any apple casing ? or wat casing are u using ?

I have the same issue but it goes away after a restart with the case on.

Enjoy your new case but do take note that the corner will suffer some peeling after certain numbers of in and out of the pocket due to rubbing... mine is already shinny at the top corners of the phone  sad.gif
*
I also heard of that solution, but never try it because there are people saying it will come back after some time, maybe i shud just give it a try for myself.

I'm really really enjoying it ! Yup I'm aware of that but I've also seen people using it for quite a long time but still in perfect condition, I guess it's how individual take care of their phone and putting in and out etc, for me I'm very careful though I literally kind of baby the phone and phone case because im gonna be using it for a long time tongue.gif
