i need good battery life and smooth performance.
what is the best rom now?

Actually there is no such thing as best rom. I tested Litening and that was fast. Then I used VillianROM and I liked it more. Why? Self preference. Try and see which is best. I know there are more that are better but...dang it smile.gif

hey guys,
need your opinion,

last nite went to Maxis Midvalley to get SGSII since they're having promotion RM1399 for 2 years contract with 500mb data plan. The promotion is valid until 22 July (yeah, everyone know this thing).

Unfortunately they said i cannot get that prmotion price anymore since they are out of stock. But if you want non contract they have stock.  shakehead.gif

What kind of dirty business is this.

I dont see any clause saying that this promotion is valid while stock last.

Anything that i can do beside buying non contact phone?
*
Why don't use 0 installment payment via credit card? Shop will charge you 2-5%. Just swipe full and dont tell them you going for 0 interest. Swipe already, walk off and call bank and tell them change to 0% installment. The shop will bear the 2-5% charges then smile.gif

Of course, call bank earlier to inform them that you are going to do so... rclxms.gif

can do like this? as i know some bank offer like the way u said..after swap then call bank to convert but got min one time interest..some like 5% or some like 6% etc etc.. but first time heard convert to 0% installment after u swap and let the shop bear the charges.. hmm.gif

Shop was suppose to bear the charges (stated somewhere in v7 topic)...but you know la. See Sg2 already wahhh....terus buy didn't think. I call HSBC after I buy and they said actually can be done but card holder need to call. So....I rugi 100+ tongue.gif Lucky small amount ni lo...if big... mad.gif

Please don't give people wrong advise / incomplete advise which will end up somebody paying more for fees.
For conversion to EPP after the purchase is made, bank will 99.99% charge you fees depending on the bank + duration of EPP. Plus not all banks/cards offer EPP conversion.

I don't advocate paying the merchant more than the product price as the fees should be borne by them. However, this is a hot phone / item and like any Malaysian merchant love to do - is to take advantage of the consumer.

BTW ... just some facts the S2 (NFC) version is selling for USD1258 over at the Duty Free area in Sheraton Seoul. I was like  shocking.gif . Don't know who will buy it at that price.
*
O.O really? Hmm...dunno lo that cos I even went to the branch to ask since I got some errants to do. The manager said client just pay full amount but no extra charges. Called the call centre also they say the same.

Also, that's why I say better call bank ask first before anything. For me, if can save why not. As I do not have like A-Z bank so I can't confirm on that but for the bank I am using pretty sure lo.

Anyway, not to start a debate but just trying to point out some things that...could meant alot for others biggrin.gif

Depends on how you ask your bank ... but I won't debate that. And if you are not sure ... for whatever reason please be careful when you are giving advise which have impact on money / fees / etc. Excuse for you don't have the list ... well anyone who reads your post and suddenly have to bear the fees ... are you going to compensate them or walk away ?

The so called no extra charges would mean that the bank impose a once off fee to the consumer on top of the monthly installment which has been divided equally to the period that the consumer choose. No additional charges throughout the installment period. As the EPP fees was originally meant to be charged to the merchant, now the bank charges it to the consumer.

No free lunch and banks aren't charity.

Another question after playing around with the K9 Mail, does it has no Push function as in the stock email client for Outlook Exchange? Only can set the Folder Polling period?

Basically what I wish to get is, the mail will automatically go to my phone. Normally, when using the stock email client, the mail will go to my phone first, then only my laptop. But when I set the Polling period in K9 mail to 1min, kind of like mail already go into my laptop, and I wouldn't get it in my phone.

Any solution to this? Or I miss some setting somewhere? TQ

already mention, asking for ROM with best battery life.
that's important to me. what use is a phone when it is dead?
*
VR had some good reputation for battery life. Again, depending on your self usage. My medium usage is some other's heavy usage. generally, Litening is good for moderate use. I feel VR is still better a little. And, to answer your question, buy PowerBank and you can play as long as you want. I have car charger, usb at work and normal charger at home so...pretty secured I would say.

If you are willing to spend a little bit more then you can easily have pwoer everywhere if you get what I mean.

Alsom you can underclock which I heard can save more juice. Not sure but I underclock mine and certainly save a lot of juice rolleyes.gif

I been scounting around for best ROm and best battery life (ROM) thingy before I buy Sg2 and I ended up...giving up. The reason is because Android have too many custom roms etc etc that we can tweak and use and grows faster than mushroom drool.gif

I heard Cognition has some good saving power but yet to try. Trying out this weekend though hmm.gif
