I have been using a stylus for all my phones and I have stylus everywhere. One in each bag. One at work. One at home comp. One at bedside. One at toilet. One at bathroom.

I like using my stylus but not so much for the S-Pen. The S-Pen feels fragile. My stylus is solid. Two hands also might not be able to bend or break my stylus ^^

Stylus is one thing. When I say s pen I mean I use smart select, I use action memos. I use the functions that can only work with an s pen. If you think that's not something you want out of a phone then yes, a cheaper phone will serve you better

Ok guys just a quick recap for you guys.

Went down on Wednesday, 26th August to Samsung Service Centre at Commonwealth
They checked the set, verified what was wrong with it and suggested that take set back first and they will let me know when parts are ready for servicing.
Service Centre Called me on Friday, 4th September, said that parts were ready for servicing

I went down on Monday, 7th Sept around 11am. Waited about 10 mins for my turn, staff took my set and said they would service, they would try not to wipe the phone but no guarantees were given, they had told me during the phone call on the 4th Sept to back up my phone as well just in case.

Handed my set over, they said it should be done latest by end of the day, they offered to loan me a spare handset to use first, passed me some older model small android phone.

Left the centre for lunch at around 11:30am. After lunch got a SMS around 2pm that the set was ready! Great, popped by and collected. Set was not wiped and everything working fine again.

No charges, and no hassle! had made conversation with the service staff at the counter and he had mentioned that they had quite a few sets encountering this problem already.

Overall Service Rating: 9/10

Didn't experience the same thing last time when i had to head down to Plaza Sing, wonder if its just the Service Level at Commonwealth is better or has their service improved in general ?? haa haa

Great that they can fix this easily, rather then replacing the whole phone. Probably just replace the hardware latch which detects the S-Pen.

You need to change the whole motherboard as was told those earpiece stuffs cannot be replaced

 

[anirudhks]

quite impressed wit the battery life no power saving mode or any setting all at factory defaults . coming from a note 4 definitely satisfied

You can go to Settings -> Data usage -> Background data

Check out which app is using the most data.
If you do not need the app, you can slide the slider to prevent the app from using data (or uninstall the app from Play Store)

Hope this helps

Cheers!
