I think Harddisk actually preferred that the audio jack is at the bottom?

Me too. But mainly its due to the poor audio quality output of my phone.

I'm thinking of switching to U mobile for their 3G too, worth it?

I'm rather conservative when using my gadgets, so I don't overclock them.

The phone was generating heat while I was using it, surfing, downloading stuff while it's connected to 3G/HSDPA network.

I thought it would not generate much heat at all. So, hot pocket ahead, still.

Paiseh.

You are probably the first person that I ever heard saying "love Maxis". lol.

Maxis gives you unlimited data for overseas roaming? Don't think any of our carrier does, or you are on those really premium plans?

Added on November 29, 2011, 12:26 amMy mistake as I thought S2's audio hole was at bottom. Must be too much GNex photos.

For my experience from Maxis to U Mobile... the only bill shock I get was, the bill was well within limit, or cheap in comparison.

Back then when I was signed with Maxis plan, I constantly have problems sharing photos to FB using the FB app. Halfway might get timed out or just hanged. But with U mobile's network, never face this problem so far. Maybe because the network still not many people yet, so I better enjoy it while I can.

Actually, I agree and I think that is also part of the reasons why the processor is underclocked to run at 1.2.

But I'm just saying the potential that this processor has is pretty high.


Another happy customer feedback on U Mobile (another one being one of my close friend)

what about call and sms services?

I think I'll try out U mobile once GNex is in my hands
I mean their price is really attractive.

Call and SMS services so far so good, if you have used Celcom before. I'm not 100% sure, if 3G voice call rides on U Mobile only, or data on U, while voice on Celcom. Though when it drops to 2G (domestic roaming, which this option is not available on Samsung phones and GNex, though some CM7 ROM might have it), you will be riding on Celcom's network for voice calls.

The voice quality and coverage were really good. Even back then when on Maxis, I would have to drop to 2G to try to get better voice call quality, at times. Now I don't remember ever doing that, so I guess it's good. Don't even bring Digi into the picture (no offense to Digi supporter/lovers), the coverage/signal quality for voice is really really bad. What's up with Digi anyway?

Why not try a prepaid U mobile for testing?

May i suggest you put Google name it our thread topic. Should be Google Galaxy Nexus instead of just Galaxy Nexus. We should be proud with Google names as it's Google phone and not Samsung (though Samsung is the manufacturer)
So it would be GGN or GNex instead or SGN. SGN should go for Galaxy Note :-)

I have managed to get connected to 3G/H in Penang island, near coastal area. Never had the chance to go deep into town area in the heart of the island though. Will report back if I go there again. I think U mobile has expanded their coverage to Penang state as well?

U mobile will be using Maxis' 3G network to covers "dark areas" of U mobile. In this sense, U mobile might have the best coverage (data) in the end, with the support from both Celcom and Maxis networks combined together.

GNOT for you know what, lol. Just kidding.

This post has been edited by Harddisk: Nov 29 2011, 01:22 AM

Seriously, I've been contemplating to do that.. (I have done my research ) but the problem is no one in the web refers it as Google Galaxy Nexus
At most, it is just Galaxy Nexus, or most widely called Samsung GN =/
I agree (obviously) to least associate this phone with Samsung's name, hence the title.

In the end I've decided to keep it as Galaxy Nexus to avoid confusion for people who are interested in this phone,
and to keep the name short and simple.

btw, PhoneArena review is up

Just tried this, I don't see MyFM in the list.

try MY Radio Player

It says "Content on this page requires a newer version of Adobe Flash Player." when I click on MY FM.

mine are working perfectly till today as already use quite some time ago.
obviously this app are very simple, it's just link to official MyFM online radio website that using flash.
u gonna need to check your Adobe Flash Player.....

Just realised I don't have Flash installed in my phone. No wonder it never prompted me to update Flash.

Will try to make it work then, loading using office line was really slow. Wonder if it was blocked by firewall.

Galaxy Nexus SAV Ghost fix by Modaco

http://www.androidcentral.com/galaxy-nexus...-unofficial-fix

rm28 prepaid with 500mb data unlimited , 100min free call .

if at kl , definitely worth as i see my sis use umobile , fast and cheap .

There's only GPRS or HSPDA /HSPDA+

No EDGE network. I get around 6.2Mbps down on HSPDA.

Unless if you're roaming using Celcom then your down to 2g only.

EDGE will be on the 2G (Celcom).

Lately U mobile have been coughing up, keep roaming instead of going into 3G signal, though there's H everywhere I go, so have to force it into WCDMA. Gotta find way to set the phone to "prefer WCDMA"

just tested ice cream sandwich and i can say it is perfect.

- the animation is smooth and steady like windows phone
- the looks, the sharpness and the color overall have improved a lot. they are just noticeably prettier than previous android
- it's easy to navigate, unlike previous android. while we are okay with the current android, just try give the phone to your mom and dad (if they havent use android before), and definitely they won't find it easy to use. but this all has changed now. now menus are clear and user will know if there is any submenu or sub sub menu.

i can say android 4.0.1 takes some of the good things in ios and windows phone 7.5 and enhance it to make a better android.

well regarding RRP and when this device will be available in our market,
i cant say the exact info, but i can say it's cheaper than the other samsung phone that just released and it's coming date is just around the corner. however it will be exclusive under telco

i dont care!!! as long as it is out in Malaysia!

Comparing against GNote? That's a bit steep to ease my heart.

Can say it's cheaper than S2's RRP?
