still no prompt for Android 10 update

Samsung never updates OS for phones released beyond two years ago. You can try install custom roms

there was news from Samsung few months back that Note8 will get Android 10. You can see my previous posts.

Just want to ask if anyone managed to get Dark mode on Whatsapp to work on your Note 8? I saw the HWZ article and immediately dived into my settings for Whatsapp but didn't find the "Theme" option leh... I really like Dark mode cos it's more comfortable to read... anyone has any idea?

I usually use iRepair. Recently I replaced a Galaxy Tab S2 battery at GWS at Sim Lim Square for $60. That's like first week of Jan this year. Supposed to be original Samsung battery. I restored the tablet and then switched it off. Switched it on every two weeks to update all the apps. Battery life is excellent. At present after switching it on about 3 times to update apps, the power was 78%. After the third update, power was at 60%. The first time I powered on to update the battery like was 99%, that's after two weeks of being off... so you can try GWS if you like... took 45 min to get it fixed...

Please share with us how much it cost once you've replaced the battery

How to see it's at 92%? I have just downloaded the app. I don't see any stats of battery age or something.

You'll only be able to see it after a few charge cycles. It's not immediate.

How accurate is this? I mean what's the indications of wear based on? Is the algorithm transparent? Or it's just using the current supplied and capacity obtained as proxies for wear? Can you actually measure battery wear or 'damage' as I see in the screen shot numerically? I'm not sure so I'm asking...

I see, thank you. No wonder I did not see the battery health stats.
Are you using the pro version or free version?

It will be more accurate after more charging cycles and the health % will change.

are you using the Pro paid version or the free version? My battery is not good, this app really let me see the estimated health. 77%.

I don't see any settings to remove the alarm once it charges to 80%?

Free version.

Go into the apps notifications and disable it.
