Need help. Does anyone else has a problem with the oleophobic coating on this phone? On my phone there is a lack of oleophobic coating around home button. It isn't on the display so it's not a huge problem, but it's starting to annoy me a little. I want to get rid of it but I don't know how. If I can't rid of it, I'm goint to sell it. It cost me 240 euros a week ago, so It's brand new, but maybe I'll be forced to sell it for 40 euros less. I don't want that. Please help.

            AnonD-742099, 03 Mar 2018Can anybody tell me guys if this a5 2017 is fast charging e... moreWhen you plug your wall charger to the phone you have to see Fast Charging(when unlocked in notification place, when locked in the screen); it's not an option to enable and disable; for the time question, it will take 1h and 40min to fully charge your phone from 0 to 100% in the average;
            if you don't see the fast charging; these are some possible causes:
            - Fake wall charger
            - Fake charger cable
            - Fake phone!
            -(disable the power saving mode if it's enabled i'm note sure if this block the fast charging or not but try it)
            Check these possibilities; good luck :)

The charging on quick charge is 90-100 minutes, without 120-130minutes. On microsoft powerbank dc-33 is 2h 20min. And with 1 Amper charger 2h 40 minutes :)
