hi. i want to ask.

what if i bought a Galaxy note running GB 2.3 and want to upgrade to ICS 4.0, how to do this? I know official release not out yet, but when its out, how to do it?

I asked my friend but he told me sth to do with Samsung Kies.. the only thing i found about kies is Kies air app on the market..

also, all i could find about upgrading android is to root the phone, which I prefer to avoid coz afraid my phone get f up sweat.gif

Hi guys,

I am using iphone 4 and decided to try out the android since iphone 5 is oh well, almost the same.

So, I know there are Samsung Galaxy S3 and Note 2 currently which is one of the latest and famous Android devices.

Wondering if there are any upcoming devices with possibly better specification cause I know Android devices grow

pretty fast so new device will always come.

Kindly advise smile.gif

at the moment note 2 is the best bargain..with good battery life..expandable memory..it will provide u a great experience for android...if u want pure android taste with fast update..u can wait for lg nexus 4..which maybe will come in christmas with price around 1.8 k..but nexus 4 no expandable memory and unremoveable battery..which seems same like iphone... icon_rolleyes.gif icon_rolleyes.gif

how about sygic? only newer version will support also? btw i want to use offline gps coz i didn't subscribe for data plan.
*
imho...papago m9 has better updated map compare than sygic..poi search also easier in papago m9..if without data plan...ill suggest papago..but the problem is the gps locking will be very very slow...ill suggest better buy standalone GPS brand wayway or others...more reliable.... brows.gif brows.gif

actually besides gps i also want to use this android phone as my 2nd phone lol. the gps locking...how slow is 'slow' if not using dataplan?
more than 5 min?
*
i dont know...depends on phone...sometimes it even not locking...some people suggest root and use gps fix to faster locking..but never test..on galaxy w...without data plan it tooks like forever to lock...maybe u can narrow down ur choice of phone...then ask in the respective phone thread for better response and user experience....
