I would like to tell you guys my experience so that hopefully others will not encounter the same nightmare.
I received my S24U on 27th Jan, I had already ordered a T-Max tempered glass screen protector so I installed it on 28th Jan. It was not my first time installing UV glue type screen protector as I used to work part time in a phone repair shop many years ago. During installation, the provided sticker for the bottom part of the phone was not strong enough and came off. The provided glue also seemed to be too much and was overflowing after put the SP on. I proceeded to cure using UV light. After complete, clean up all the excess glue that overflow from the sides, top and bottom. Proceeded to put my s pen back inside the slot. Everything seemed well, no bubbles, fingerprint scanner working perfectly.
Two days later, wanted to use the pen and tried taking out, but seemed like it was stuck. Pulled it out and saw the pen has been completely damaged and the material deformed. Must have been due to glue residue. I thought ok fine, can replace the pen.
After a few more days, realised there is a dark spot at the bottom left part of my screen. Looks like the glue has somehow seeped under the glass. Also top part of screen is giving off more reflections than normal with a green hue. And my volume buttons stopped being tactile / stuck/ hard to press. Icing on the cake is that the SP cause blooming in photos when using flash with front camera. So I removed it.
I then went to service centre pavilion and showed them the issues. After checking with technician they asked me if I had put on a glue type screen protector. As I think they suspect already, I told them the truth. Then they said normal warranty will not cover this damage. Asked me to submit claim to care+. Luckily I did purchase care+..
After submit claim, they picked up phone and approved the claim, need to pay excess RM 219 for liquid damage. Within 2 days I got my phone back with a new screen and full new side body.

Moral of the story, never use UV glue screen protector. And also always buy Care+ for piece of mind (it was free using PO voucher anyway)
*
Ouch, that's unfortunate on UV Glue and also fortunate on care+ sweat.gif
I thought S24U is flat screen already?

Used White Stone Dome last time during Note 8 and Note 9 era, though it's good once installed but those overflow glue very annoying when seep into the gap between screen and side.

I paid for RM98.9 (free 100w cable). Ugreen always got discount, wait for a few days if not rush. Maybe this 4th Apr will have small discount again. Other lower wattage adapters also good quality, you may search reviews in youtube.

found a few apps in G play, cant test anything, since my phone cant read it
the trade ins are handle by third party and not samsung themselves,
you can just reject without having any probs,
the only downside is, you cant trade in the same IMEI twice in their website
*
Agree on this but then can sell off third party later tongue.gif

Hmm but East Malaysia has this : *For East Malaysia Trade-in, only drop off option is available

kelantan,
since you gonna reject it anyways, can just simply key in postcode for other city
*
I can key in my area actually though.

But if no one contact me then that's the best i guess tongue.gif

However i not sure how this work right now as there seems to be multiple promotion happening
https://www.samsung.com/my/offer/galaxy-s24-series/tnc/

Some code if i use it will disable the Watch6 promotion
The insta-rebate seems to have RM650 extra (Example S23 FE trade in max RM1,350, it will be RM2k trade-in value)

The promo email i haven't tried to key in the code to test.


Add ON:
Try put my ipad mini 4 16GB and get this result:

"The device you are trading in is more valuable than the phone you are buying. Unfortunately we cannot credit you the excess value, so please remove the trade in device, or change the device you are purchasing."

The heck?

probably just a bug, maybe that device worth nothing, and they just rather not take it
no, you only get the trade in bonus discount,
the actual trade in value might differs from the ones shown in the website,
will only be paid when the staff from compasia went and pick up the device
*
What does that mean ?

Example the valuation of my S23 FE shows after keying postcode and model version = RM1,350
There's this instant trade-in RM650 promotion bonus right now

Scenario A : Total should be RM1,350 + RM650 = RM2,000 provide that the trade-in actual happen ?
Scenario B : So if I REJECT the trade-in when Comp-Asia called, the only thing i get is RM650 discount only?

the 1350 is gonna be the value of the trade in device, wont be deducted straight away
you only get the 650 trade in bonus discount

1350+- only will be paid when the compasia agent pick up your phone

you accept or reject the trade in, either way, only 650 will be deducted from the total during checkout

Ah, that makes sense then

No idea use what to cover my chat if record video
What i mean is whatsapp swipe to reply is get pickup instead of android back swipe, when i swipe back instantly after send msg

This swipe left to go back android gesture is hit or miss sometime XD

It's also love and hate for me

When i am doing cropping on video or photo, it always picked up "swipe left to go back" instead of dragging the crop on both edge side.

* The arrow of swipe left and the vibrate will appear

Completely depends on the case, I have not had any issue with mine. Pay toll with Samsung Pay also works.

It depends also cause if u magnetfic your ring magsafe onto case (which same zone as the paywave), u always have to take down the ring before NFC sweat.gif

Sometime i do hope they move the NFC to top of the phone like iphone.
