Samsung note 10+ speaker sounds distorted/blown/cr

Recently purchased a Samsung note 10+. During the first two weeks I noticed the occasional sound distortion when notifications come in, I tried playing music and it's the same regardless of the volume. After a while it goes away. Then it got really serious once. The next day there was a software update so I updated the phone, after which it did not happen anymore until two days ago it happened again. I went to the shop and the technician said to try hard reset as it is most probably software issues. I reseted my phone and the next day the speaker still has sound problems. It is still on and off though. Any idea what is the issue here?

Not sure if it has anything to do with it but I found that almost every time it happened I was in an air-conditioned room. The two weeks where it did not happen was when there wasn't any air-conditioning.

Laptop recommendations below RM4000

Hi all,

I am looking to buy a laptop for mostly casual gaming (maplestory, sims4 etc) and lots of entertainment purposes. My concern is having a laptop that can handle heavy usage as I am on my laptop a lot.As I plan to get a monitor as well that I can plug my laptop and ps4 into, the screen is not a major concern. I do travel so I can't get a desktop unfortunately.

So what I am looking for is - good enough processor to handle games as stated, doesn't heat up easily with long usage.
Price range would be below rm4000 if possible rm3000-3500 range so I have budget for a decent monitor.
Any recommendations are very much appreciated.

Thanks!

Best broadband in UPM Serdang (hostel)

My friend and I are going to start our studies in UPM Serdang. We plan to get rooms in Kolej 12/14/15/16 and realized that they don't provide basic wifi there. So can anyone give some advice on which broadband out there that has the best coverage in that area? I was hoping to get P1 but I am not sure if they have any coverage there or not. So I need more suggestions.

Also if it turns out that there are no more rooms in the those Kolej I mentioned is there one specific broadband service that has good coverage in the whole of UPM area?

Thanks in advance!
