Anyone else encountering weird inconsistent touch not registering?

Happening to me also… mainly in YouTube app. Sometimes like the app froze.

Hello all, recently interested on the moment case + lense, any users mind to share here with the case and feedback ?

Which shop in Malaysia selling or which service forwarder preferable to order directly from shopmoment.com?

I don’t think there’s any local distributor for Moment - you can purchase it directly from Moment’s official website - Shipping will cost alot but at least you can use their compatible lens here.

Their lens are pretty pricey but based on reviews, seems totally worth it.

Shashinki is the place to order. Camera folks will know this. Wait for sales, can get good deal.

The trade-in price of the 12 Pro Max is now suddenly so low already, hahaha... Right on cue by the resellers

Machines: 128GB - RM2650, 256GB - RM2900, 512GB - RM3350
*
it's supported by Compasia, InstaCash app.

I asked for 512GB, was 4335 (around there). Once pre-order starts, the guy told me.. will drop price. but dropping RM1K is excessive seriously.

Honestly, dont recall. But Dont put up your hopes. It's not a phone accessories shop. You must understand Shashinki is first a camera shop that happens to sell Momento cases which has camera lenses. thumbup.gif

But stock clearance definitely will be much cheaper.

Wow first time seeing this Moment thing. So all the cases can be mounted with the Moment lenses or need to add extra accessories?
*
When you purchase a Moment case, check that it bundled with the plastic adaptor at the lens area (Moment call it “drop in lens mount”). That plastic has locking mechanism for mounting the lens at the appropriate area the camera is.

Give example, check the link. You need the “drop in lens mount”
https://www.shopmoment.com/products/moment-...e-for-iphone-13

Another alternative is a clip.
https://www.shopmoment.com/products/m-series-lens-mount

IMHO, Moment case is just average, ordinary. Advantage, It has this lens mount. Downside, you need to take out and wash as there are gaps for dirt to go in.

The lens are awesome, anamorphic. Before iPhone 12PM, 13. To get Wide lens is this adaptor option.

Anyone here who has updated their 12PM to IOS15.0.1? How's it? What bugs did they fix?

Seems like it's only for iPhone 13 bug fixes
*
It’s targeted for Apple Watch unlocking issue. Need to correct myself, zollotech listed quite a long list.

Oh gosh, my iPhone 12 PM, one more month to 1st anniversary, battery health down to 91%. Maybe by next month, 90%.

1 year 10% depreciation of battery

I’ve shared previously my wife’s 12PM secondary phone which was used for a maximum of an hour a day (only WhatsApp and nothing else), bought in nov 2020 and her batt health’s already at 92% now despite using so little, which is so abnormal and weird..the phone is literally new and virgin from all the social media or gaming etc and still batt health drop like no tomorrow, so we have concluded it’s an iPhone 12 issue, she’s given up checking her batt health and moved on..biggrin.gif

U know what’s Apple policy on battery change while still on warranty?

i see that i'm not the only one. slightly into 1 year now and the battery dips to 91% - starting to think that the fast charger may have contributed to the premature degradation (heat) so for now, i've switched back to the slow poke 5w charger that came with my iPhone 6S.
*
Technically slow charging is worse. Cause of the duration and heat it causes. Where constantly battery is charged.

Totally agree with this, they should have removed the battery health just like the iPads...having the battery health % causes a lot of unnecessary stress...
Afaik, slow charging at 5w is better than fast charge in terms of wearing off battery lifespan, as the charging heat is minimal..
*
The battery health came about because of the sudden shutdown of iPhones. Irony.

Well don’t disagree lower w, is better in a sense. Just use it. RM450 to change battery. Can’t afford iPhone, battery can afford. I raised earlier, just comparing with past iPhones only and whether it is norm for everyone as well.

Don’t change battery yet.. whether it drops to 80% also. Battery life still good. Wait till it can’t last long, then change.

Is anyone using Maxis Postpaid with their iPhone 12 Pro? How’s the network? Is it good or bad? Cause I feel like the internet/4G is horrible lately.
*
It really depends on area and coverage. Doesn't have anything related to the iPhone itself. (except XS Max, the Intel modem is shite)

But generally Maxis is one of the best among the worst. and yes, am using Maxis postpaid.

I don’t think so. I’m at the same area and it suddenly drops to bad. So yes I’m wondering if it’s because of my phone because it has never been an issue in this area.

If Maxis is bad, I doubt celcom or digi would fare any better since I have ported a a few telco.

There are some people who claim that it’s the shut down of 3G tower affecting the entire network, because it’s not only me but it seems like a lot of people are affected, the 4G can barely browse internet. ಠ_ಠ
*
That’s my point right. Don’t think it’s hardware iPhone related. It’s telco more likelihood. Sorry if it read otherwise.

Only thing maxis is best among worst (generally but they are losing in open signal report) but still dependent on area.
Probably true, the 3g shutdown might affect.

No such thing la.. I already stopped using wireless charger for a year, and my battery life is 84% now. laugh.gif 12 series is really having hopeless battery life. Got my 12PM on day 1 on MY launch date.

QUOTE(shaniandras2787 @ Jan 30 2022, 07:50 PM)
bought my 12P on the first day of launch, am on 85% now. disappointing battery capacity aside, I figured that it's the heat from charging that's draining the health.

had been using the 5W (wired) for the first 7 - 8 months or so and only a slight drop in battery health but when I switched to the higher wattage (20W and also wired) for fast charging, that's when I noticed the battery health dropped dramatically (at least 5% within the first 3 months).

already switched back to the 5W and it appears to have stabilized itself at 85%.
*
I can't find the video, but someone did some research to say the battery health algorithm is just that, not accurate.

Even both my sis and mum's iphone shows 70%, it shows battery health good, the phone just randomly shuts down. After changing battery all good. Apple reseller QCD was saying it could be some other problem. tongue.gif

yeap, it's inaccurate. the numbers shown are just an "indication" of how long one full charge can last you. it's the chemical age of the battery and it is calculated based on the number of charge cycles divided by a myriad of factors within the iPhone itself which Apple will not disclose. this is why every user experiences different scenarios.

for me, I noticed that the battery health number dropped after I used a fast charger and it stabilizes after I reverted back to 5W so that works for me.

Apple has a funny way of making sure the iOS works properly so if the chip discovers that the battery is no longer at its peak, it will slow down computing power (eg: performance) in exchange for up time.

this is also why Apple was sued by users for deliberately slowing down older iPhones.

QUOTE(westlife @ Jan 31 2022, 08:41 AM)
To be fair, fast charging is known to degrade the battery faster comparing to Low voltage charging.
*
I’m still in opinion.. higher charge typically means more heat. Chemically, making ions work harder. It’s a 100m race

Slow charge that you do overnight, while chipset and whatever controls it. It’s constantly getting ions to work non stop. Less heat but it’s like marathon.

Above is my pure opinion, no scientific basis. Just imagine you wanna do 100m race all the times or marathon. Bit of both is best I guess.

But again, the lesser you use your phone.. less notifications and background app refresh. That probably helps.

Yeap, heat and lithium ion battery aren't exactly a pair matchmade in heaven. There's always the issue of managing heat when it comes to charging and Apple went to the extent of introducing "optimizing charging" to make sure the phone doesn't charge past 80% until "it is time" to unplug. Just to probably extend the battery life for what, 2 weeks?  :confused:

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


That’s one angle. If charging overnight no problem. 5w low blah blah. Then why Apple introduce optimize charging. But again.. generally don’t do overnight charging.


iOS 15.4 will introduce Face ID (with mask on). Reports from beta testers so far has been encouraging but unsure how much it will compromise on security though.

Good but not as good as full face scan. To me it’s good enough also.

In respect of battery health percentages, I guess no users should actually be bothered with it, in fact, it shouldn't even be there in the first place if it weren't for lawsuits filed by consumers on other parts of the world. Apple put the numbers there because they "have to" not because they "need to". So just use the phone and charge it in any manner you like or how frequent you prefer because chances are, you'd switch to a new phone before the battery starts giving you problems.

Besides, battery replacements aren't exactly expensive so yeah, that's an option.
*
Battery replacement not expensive? Says you. But to me… if you can afford iPhone. Why can’t afford the components. Same as u can buy bmw or merc. U can’t afford do maintenance and change parts.

yeah, the last I checked the price for battery replacement ranges between RM300 - RM400 which is about 10% of the price of the original phone (when bought) and i would have the battery replaced rather than do an outright purchase of a new iPhone for no apparent reason (especially when the new iPhones is not a significant upgrade).
