btw anyone on ICS leaked rom here can test their wifi direct feature? wanna know whether is ICS dun have wifi direct feature or GalNex dun have

ytd nite was going for badminton so swapped my umobile simcard into my GalNex. and surprisingly so many times showing me no signal for a few seconds then back to service. i duno whether is my simcard got problem or my device hardware got problem or the baseband have to be changed but it irritates me a lot. while on call it jz drops iteself. and my GalNex accidentally drop to the floor facing down (jz beside the tar road and i nearly heartattack, summore raining at dat time, so chi cham), and take it up, surprisingly after wipe away those muds i din find any scratches on my GalNex

its because of my XO skins



i oso wish that its telco's problem but jz turning around KLCC i had lost my signal 3 times. no dropping to 2G but is no network at all, den after few seconds it returned itself. have to flash another modem n try d.




btw.... laptopdude r u still on leaked ICS rom? can help me check whether u can initiate wifi direct? thanks

aiseh, sad liao

head to head comparison
(my own 2cents, multiple by 25 then it will be 50cents )


1. in terms of comfortable on hand:
GalNex>SGSII>GalNote (all naked)

2. in terms of screen attractiveness:
GalNote>SGSII>GalNex (if u din go compare the pixel shits, SGSII's screen will give u a fake impression.

3. in terms of camera quality:
GalNote>SGSII>GalNex. however zero lag shutters and the modded Camera ICS that can enable silent shutter makes it my favourite, if u get wat i mean

4. in terms of transition animation smoothness:
GalNote>SGSII>GalNex. seriously wtf is wrong with GalNex's transition animation?

5. browsing experience: (all using stock browser)
GalNote>GalNex>SGSII. well bigger is better, and the reason GalNex is edging over SGSII is because ICS's browser is better than GB's.

6. ergonomy of use:
GalNex>SGSII>GalNote. my palm too small

7. gaming:
GalNote>SGSII=GalNex. GalNex wins in terms of compatibility, but dun have samsung appstore or games hub make me so sad

8. battery life:
this one no need compare. GalNote wins it all. but standby power preserving i can say GalNex is better than SGSII. but when on actual usage i feel that SGSII can last longer compare to GalNex

9. navigation
GalNex wins like hell. while using GalNote i need to wait around 10 secs for gps to trace my location, but on GalNex its like almost instant. SGSII? :yaoming's face:

10. storage
this one no need compare la, GalNex is not in the same league to play.

11. connectivity
GalNote>SGSII>GalNex
while NFC is not widely used yet and i'm too lazy to dig out my BH505 from the hell packs of boxes, GalNex's wifi direct pissed me off. the function is there, but cannot initiate nor get connected. i dun noe wat's going on but seems like everyone is having the same issue. btw tried connect my GalNote with MHL+HDMI and play asphalt 6 on my home's toshiba 42", works like charm

conclusion: GalNote really stands out. SGSII and GalNex dun have much diff. both have their pros n cons. only when SGSII got the official ICS and GalNex's ICS version is stabled then oni can compare again. but once u tried GalNote on ur hand, u'll nvr head back for smaller screens.


feel free to challange my conclusion, afterall usage pattern and preference is different from one to another.

SGSII last time is on andromeda, latest before i sold it.
GalNex is on maguro build updated last week.
GalNote is on LA6, latest firmware.

and while i'm not sure yet the devices u had tested is running which firmware and izit really got difference, sometimes i will also notice some lag especially while playing HD games. and i jz press the home button and back to the home screen, check the tast manager and din do anything, then back to the game and its smooth d.

pinch to zoom: yes on GalNote. no on GalNex. i dun think any of us will use the pinch to zoom function on homescreen though. not practical and in fact no meaning at all to me.

navigate thru app drawers: GalNote no lag, GalNex got lag. i got 14 pages of apps on my GalNote and only 3 pages on GalNex. and yet GalNex lags. i duno this is the problem of ICS or wat but seriously, F***.

yup. the transition animation is like having constipation

if u r oni having less than 15 applications installed and this is the shit u got, will u tolerate with it?

yup. running milestone 3 and yet still. well its basically modded stock rom so i dun think will have any difference la.


nope. stock launcher n nova oso the same. n nova more calat, scrolling between home screens oso got tiny lag.

milestone 3 is like aosp custom rom. with a freaking ugly pink unicorn boot animation.

yup i love this feature very much, but i also miss the call/sms feature in contact list (swipe left=sms, swipe right=call)

any insider news for the reason to call back? explode or?

you'll need a masterball in order to do so

well god thanks to u all i no need to unignore his post i oso can know how brilliant he is

i suggest u to get a 3310 if u r going out for camping or fishing. if u bring good phone go out in the end u jz playing with the phone.

so we can draw a conclusion that having pirated apps installed on G set will stabilize the system?

please spoiler those idjits please, my IQ suffered 10 points of damage because of reading thru the whole shit.

pull down notification bar, if there's any incoming notification like new email etc, jz swipe at it and it will begone. ICS feature.

so far on my GalNex i can swipe everything away except the no signal notification.
