Just got the red screen tint firmware update. Although I never really had any issues with my S8+

sunny_j 05-10-2017 05:01 PM

I am on my 3rd S8+ replacement for pink edges and I have the 4th one on its way. The update slightly reduced the pink edges on the left/right side but made the top edge blue.

On a side note, I am selling a carbon fibre dbrand skin. Check out the buy and sell section

I like Samsung phones but as I've said before, their after sales support is one of the worst.

i noticed that if i turn on the "blue light filter", then my phone turns red/pink.

So i just keep it off

No issues w/ my S7E on that same feature tho

dat_steve 05-12-2017 07:46 AM

blue light filter is supposed to turn your screen red/pinkish.

Are you sure about that? The bue light filter should only make the display warmer. Like how f.lux does on a Mac.

yeah...it's the samsung equivalent of what apps like twilight or f.lux do. you don't get to customize the intensity or hue like the apps, which is why i still use the apps and not the blue light filter function, but that's the intention.

yeah what i'm saying is that it doesn't turn my s7e red/pinkish, but it makes my S8+ very red/pinkish

slightly warm on my S7E yes, but on my S8+ looks like that time of the month

So my note 3 died and needed a phone badly.
Wanted note 8 but couldnt wait, so i got the S8+ Grey

I like the phone alot. Only a few things i dislike.

1. position of the Bixby button. its where i rest my thumb
2. headphone jack on bottom instead of top

I also bought a UAG Plasma case for it.

what case are you guys rocking?3

Also are the Navigation buttons suppose to vibrate? cause my arent

The wallet case gets kind of annoying to use everyday. What it's great for is nights out. It allows you to roll without a wallet and you just bring the essentials with you. Licence, CC and maybe debit card. There's also a pocket just under the card slots that you can stuff some cash into.

Alcantara case looks so damn good and I'm sure it feels even better. Only real downside I can see to it is the price..

As for a case with a kickstand? I'd go with the spigen tough armour or the ultra hybrid s.

I've been debating on getting the Alcantara case since I watched the Flossy Carter video on it. $80 for a non-battery case though is a bit hard to swallow. If you are looking for a kickstand case Case Mate sells one and Spigen sells 3 different ones. Spigen also sells a metal kickstand that you can just stick to a case of your choosing.

DavidNguyen 05-13-2017 05:16 PM

Yea the alcantara is pricy. Gotta wait till black friyay

Flossy Carter ftw. Watched his hour plus long review on the s8 lol

Just bit the bullet and bought it. Feels so good in the hands [emoji106] https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...e847e29167.jpg

DavidNguyen 05-20-2017 08:58 PM

Nice case. I got mine in Friday. I like how it's so slim. In pictures looks so bulky. I work with my hands alot and this case just feels soft and smooth . I had a UAG case. Great protection but a bit rough on my hands.

What are your thoughts on it?

Oh man I love it. It feels like a supercar's steering wheel every time I hold it.
