IMHO, no point getting from Maxis. Better get unlocked unit, and go register for data plan, without contract, read: Digi @ Rm68/month

no thanks...id rather get from maxis with 2 year contract... my maxis number is actually 1st batch hotlink so its about wat? 9-10 years old? plus ive never had issues with them so im fine.. and one main point of getting it from maxis with the plan is to save the total cash being forked out. i kinda wanna buy bucket seats this month too...

and i dont mind 2 year contract... coz like i said... my number is already ridiculously old with maxis.. and have no intentions of changing... ever.

that still doesnt change the fact that her phone is faster/smoother than mine (even hers with a whole lot more apps/contacts/smses/much higher usage) when compared stock to stock.

anyway, got any to recommend?


QUOTE(lingch @ Feb 18 2011, 08:42 AM)
It is advisable to reboot your Defy at least once a day. The slowness may due to your free rams are lower than your wife's though. Get a task killer and kill off unwanted running apps in the background
*
already have advanced task manager for about a week or 2... still the same...she doesnt have any task manager somemore...

as for reboot... we both dont do that. yet hers is still fast...

and by reboot u mean off and on again right?

Ok, its pretty straight forward actually. First off, install both milestone overclock and setcpu. Download the files setscaling.sh and install-recovery.sh and put in root of your sdcard. Now go to root explorer, copy setscaling from sdcard and paste it to /system/xbin. Set the permission to rwxr-xr-x. Copy install-recovery and paste it /system/etc. Same permission as previous one.

Now go to milestone, click run after reboot and set it to 1000mhz @ 52vsel. Go to setcpu and click run after reboot. Reboot your phone and you're done smile.gif

You can use usb tethering to your pc. Go to market and download an app call pdanet. Go here to install pdanet for android http://www.junefabrics.com/android/ into your pc. Follow the instructions and you're done biggrin.gif

wat do u mean by headphone??? are u talking about the earpiece?? or the additional headphone? theres a difference between the 2....

if its earpiece...u can send it back to ur AP centre for repair if its still under warranty... if not under warranty, can still send to handphone repair shops... but of course have to pay
