When I clicked Full Screen Settings, it shows

Show Status Bar (unticked)
Show tab (ticked)


I tried to tick both but don't think it affect the Auto-Fit to pages function.


For those using Boat Browser, can you get the "Auto Fit to pages" function working. I have switched on the Auto-fit pages in Settings but still not working. When I browse the Internet, the texts doesn't adjust itself to fit the page after I zoom in or zoom out. In Opera Mobile it works flawlessly, but I couldn't get it to work on Boat Browser. I like Boat Browser too...hopefully I can get the Auto-fit to pages working...

Any ideas?

Thanks



Edit: After playing with it for a while, i realised I can only set it to 3 default options : Far, Medium or Close....and I have to double tap on the screen....this is different from Opera Mobile where you can pinch zoom to any size and the text will reflow itself to auto-fit.
Unless I am missing something with Boat Browser setup.

Btw, Boat Browser setting menu looks quite refreshing...a bit like MIUI....haha

it depends
i was on maxis also last time
as well as a few of my frens
can confirm maxis speed is fast
in my house area i can get 4mbps speed
now i use digi
average 1mbps
sometimes low speed somemore
bt

the cons of maxis
it seems very easily we can bypass the quota
no matter what the quota is
my exp is when i was overcharged
then it takes about a month for them to solve the issue
n not to my satisfaction
so i cancel it n move on to digi

my fren case
he used watchdog n lbe to check his data usage
n as always
witout fail
he will b charged extra for his data usage
when he go complain
they would simply reply
those apps is inaccurate
our data is accurate n it shows its over quota
this goes on for a few months
every month he need to pay 400 - 500

at last
he join me over at digi

our exp

for speed
maxis
for coverage
celcom
for cheap
digi
*
I'm not trying to side any telcos, but from my personal experience with Maxis 3G for 1.5 years, I have never been overcharged before.

Most people got overcharged for the 1st month only because they are not aware that the 1st month usage is pro-rated based on the day they sign up and the specified billing date. After 2nd months onward you can use your full data entitlement either 500Mb, 1.5GB or 3Gb depending on your package.

I have been using 3G Watchdog for 1.5 years too and found that it is 90 to 95% accurate. I give myself some buffer so that I do not exceed. Please note that 3G watchdog does not keep track of Tethering..I was told, so be careful.

Digi used to be cheap and good...they managed to grab a fair bit of share market...but lately I have been hearing complaints from my friends using Digi..maybe they have too many subscribers already and found it difficult to cope....and by giving people "so called" unlimited data access, the speed suffers a bit....

Just my 2 cents...

Check out Criskelo ROM V38 or Turkbey ROM v32.
CheckROM v4 is also popular here.

Hi guys,

Can we talk about earphones (for our SGS2) here? Is it off topic?

I was checking out the Jays A-Jay earphone at Digital Mall....not sure good or not...

Previously, one of you suggested Shroom Hippo...other than Jaben Store I haven't manage to find it elsewhere...

A-Jays? depends if you like the sound signature.

Hippo Shroom EB is still better for me tongue.gif

when buying earphones, try to listen for sounds that you like (soundstage/bass/vocals/etc), but price matters too of course sweat.gif
*
Thanks for the advice....I should visit Jaben soon to try it out.

Buying online is cheaper but I don't get to test it and there are fake products on ebay as well sweat.gif

I still have both my S2 & IPhone 3G earphone in the box.... won't use it.... sad.gif

If you're looking for lower range earphones, there's not much you can compare on sound wise unless some have mentioned. But when you're willing to spend more, your selections become more but at the same time will restrict on how you prefer your "music" or "sound". Shure, Sennheiser, Ultimate Ears etc do have quite a few headphile intro IEM(In Ear Monitors) and most won't disappoint beginners... Just beware the poison will go deeper & deeper when you have the chance to listen to those exp IEMs... LOL  cool.gif
Note: I like Beats design.... That's it... won't buy lol...  sweat.gif
*
Thanks...I have been reading up on Shure as well...\


Btw guys, I found out there is an app in the Market called "Jays Headset Control" while researching for Jay A-Jays earphone...the app got quite good feedback and apparently the app works with other headphones as well....not just Jays headphones...

Anybody else here on Criskelo and has trouble reading any USB thumbdrives using the OTG cable? Mine says USB drive damaged (I have tried multiple drives and they all give the same error).  icon_question.gif

I'm using Criskelo v38.

I just tried my USB OTG. Yes, it is working when I plug in my thumbdrive. No problem here.

You should try to plug in the thumbdrive into the USB OTG first, then only plug into the SGS2...see if it helps

Yeah, that is always how I connect mine. Plug in the thumbdrive into the cable then only into the phone.

What kernel are you running? Going to try Siyah now to see if it works or not.

Running on lulzactive on NEAK causes lag in heavy gaming. Have to switch to ondemand and then it is smooth as butter.

I didn't change the kernel. I just flashed Criskelo ROM v38 and that's it. Everything seems to be working fine. No tweaks etc...

Maybe you can try other Camera app like Camera 360 or Camera Zoom FX...they have Effect/Scene settings like Night effect(Camera 360) , Burst Mode or Stable shot (Camera Zoom FX) etc...

Just suggesting an alternative on battery mods.

In Criskelo ROM, it has an Add-On feature where you can change the following easily:

Modems
Kernels
Battery Mods (there are a few battery mods which you might want to check out-see images attached)
Addons
Themes

Hi guys,

Just gotten my new in-ear headphone. The sound is very nice, rich, crisp and balanced.

Just sharing in case some of you are shopping for new in-ear headphones too.

Before buying this, I tested all the following in Jaben shop in SS15.

1) A-Jays Three
2) A-Jays Four
3) Klipsch S4i
4) Hippo Shroom EB
5) Audio Technica 55
6) Shure 215

Final decision was Denon 560R...it's really nice.

I tested on the spot with the Jays Headset Control app downloaded from Android Market. The middle button of the headset works with all the function, Play/Pause.....Increase/Decrease volume....skip track forward/ backward....answer/ reject call.....

how much you bought? (saw the price, rm349 but got discount?)

Yup, RM349. No discount. cry.gif
They claimed that in Apple Store, they sell it for RM500+... hmm.gif

There were cheaper ones around RM200 to 250....but after listening to all of them, you can tell the difference that what you pay is what you get....

My final shorlisted selection were either Klipsch S4i, A-Jays Four and Denon 560R.....all in the region of RM300+...

Now, I'm enjoying my music more...heehee..it is definitely better than the Stock headset...

Yes, the Klipsch S4i was very nice too...but the only setback was that the Mids were a bit weak. Songs with more vocals like Adele, etc will sound a bit "weak"....but overall it is still very good. The bass was good too.

Yes, it comes with a mic so I can receive phone calls.

You can go to Jaben at SS15 Subang. They let you try out the different earphones before buying one. Good service.

Google "Jaben" if you are interested.

Yes, I got it at Jaben because I can try them before buying.

Reading reviews online is quite subjective...the best is to trust your own ears...
