POCPHONE F2

[awayaway]

It seems the camera lens is flushed with the stock case that came with it. Anyone worried about the camera lens getting scratched when it's laid on surfaces?

any of you guys face problem using gpay to pay for MRT rides? It keep giving me error "It didn't work" and then something about the card may not be able to use. But the funny thing is it worked once before. And yes I tried to switch to HCE instead of SIM wallet but still cannot. Also tried wiping cache and reinstalling gpay and re entering the cards. Still cannot go through.

Tried this morning. Other than the very first time at the bus stop near my place, rest of mrt/bus rides all ok, with HCE setting.

I suspect my very first try failed because the phone still trying to search for wifi instead of switching to data.

You can paste some 1mm or 2mm thick tape around the rim of the camera. So that when you put the phone into the case, the camera will be about 1mm deeper inside.
Or you can also put the tape on the inside of the case

I know battery life is different for everyone depending on each's phone usage and app, but just wondering how much screen on time you guy's are getting? I'm getting about 6 hours SOT.

I think about there too. When my screen is on, i can literally see the battery dropping even without heavy usage lol. Standby is good but that is to be expected with a big battery.

Anybody finds the quality of the selfie cam a bit grainy? Even on gcam

Mine seemed fine though i haven't taken a selfie. I didn't use gcam for it cos seems like my gcam version doesn't work on the selfie cam. There is a modded gcam now that can use all the back cameras.

Hmmm reason why i still holding back on using mobile for transport. Can't take the risk especially during peak hours lol.

Check which wallet you are using for nfc hce or sim, en-suite is the former.

Also default the app to gpay, though some bro has also successful dashpay

Finally Ensure your nfc is on la

LOL, i brought along an ezlink card this morning, and when it fails on my first tap with this phone, take the ezlink out from pocket and tap immediately and moved in...

Take a quick glance and noticed its still trying to search for wifi...
Wonder why it keep searching for so long as the bus stop was more than 2 blocks away...

After that, rest of journey till back home was working perfectly.
Just make sure if cam no protection, becareful lor.

Thought Samsung phone no need to even wake up their phones, can immediate tap liao?

Anyway, I forgotten to try if Poco no need to wake up phone, but double tap screen to wake it up is enough to tap at all the readers, no need to unlock.

That's what i thought. So i tap and tap like idiot then unlock and tap and wait 1-2 and it work. Not worth the hassle. Think wait till i get a smartwatch then i'll try again since it's more convenient.

cos if cam not protected and exposed, keep tapping on readers may cause scratches on it mar...

Gpay need to turn on the screen then can tap. Samsung pay transit can tap with screen off.
