hi everyone....sorry for being a total noob here..

just need to know where can get the phone.
i stay at kl...i went to the gardens digi center at midvalley city and they told me they don't have the stock today and not sure when can get...despite the digi adds about releasing it on 13th Jan 2012 (today =.=")

i really want to get this samsung galaxy (google) nexus
i never bought or had a smartphone before, this will be my first..

They give priority to pre-order customers
I think that's because Digi insisted item to reach on the hand of buyer only
*
aiks....so its better i do the pre-ordering online than wait to go to store?

i dunno...i'm just afraid to do pre-orders online cuz i've had horror stories about ppl who did that and end up with problems like:

1) the delivery took an extra month
2) the phone delivered was damaged which they had to return and wait another few weeks to get a proper new one
3) the phone delivered was a scammed (fake china copied made) from where they found out the post dude swapped it

i dunno how true these are but it worries me so i tot of going to get it directly from the authorized stores itself..
but when i read up from u guys, it seems like its ok o.o

does it really take just 3 days for them to deliver it?

Wifi is always priority over telco network for all smartphones including ios n windows
You can use app my data manager to monitor usage over wifi or 3g. Is a free app
*
hehe thanks guys...yeah benny pretty much cleared my doubts..
yep, the wifi is on with strong signal

ok, so wifi priority over telco network...

thanks also for the app recommendation..
i'll go look for the data manager so i can put my mind to ease knowing that its using the wifi and not eating up the data plan lol

sorry for being a bit of worry freak and noob as well lol sweat.gif

hi guys, new user here, i got mine from alieamin yesterday..
all stock spec, some issues that i found, 

-camera area become hotter during wifi-ing
-laggy slide transition in gallery
-laggy xvid video playback, not 24/30fps as it should, h264 no prob though
-cannot play 720p mp4 movie.. .wmv files not detected (do i need some kind of tools?)
-battery.. just 5h 30m left 33% already

any recommendation how to fix this guys?
*
hey there biggrin.gif

i got mine from alieamin too haha

the only things i do experience similarly with you is the camera area become hotter during wifi-ing too

as for the .wmv file i dl'd mx video player, works great

however again i also noticed that the back of the phone near the camera area does get pretty warm after a few minutes of playing the videos

i'm no expert but for a new user like me i think that given its a full 100% touch screen phone, power is kinda normal to run out fast gua....not sure lol

i read reviews of other full touch screen phones having power run out fast too...like almost a norm kinda review to me oledy

not being bias but its just what i've been observing

ok ...just found out mines a yakju lol

by the way, has there been any news about the heat comming off the back of the phone yet?

i've read some forums from i think USA ppl and they seem to have encountered that experience too and that it just gets hot but still functions as normal...and that it cools off just as fast too wink.gif
