So just for the heck of it, I decided a couple of weeks ago to just use my phone without a case and I have to say, it feels fantastic.
You have to be a bit careful not to drop it but really, I think I'll just use the phone the way it's meant to be used from now on. It's just so thin and light now. Same as the iPhone 4/4S really. One of the sleekest designs I've ever seen but everyone covers it up with a case. Understandable of course, but when I see the iPhone in use without case in movies, I always think "wow, that's one beautiful phone".

Is there any advantage to Chrome Beta over stock? I don't seem to be noticing a speed boost so far from my usage.
Thoughts, anyone? |

Nothing much to shout about actually. A lot of it are just superficial tweaks.Just saw a video about a fully jail broken iPhone. I didnt know iPhone can be so cool. Kinda feel like it just went super saiyan mode. Good thing android can already do most of the things shown in the video now, But the one in the video are really smooth, especially the notification bar. Still love android though, but if ios6 include all those features, then android won't have many things to boast about over the iPhone.  Android still has many advantages, and the Play Store apps are catching up to the App Store's very quickly. Re: Android advantages other than changing themes, it's been gone through thousands of times before, so I won't bother elaborating.

When your phone is using EDGE, you won't be able to receive calls. For a phone like mine which is always drawing data from Whatsapp, Facebook etc, that's a very big deal.And toggle it on / off using jkmod , either in 2g mode or offline mode. If I'm not mistaken, keep toggle 2g and 3g may waste more batt. Cos when I change 2g to 3g, I notice the phone lags a bit, it seems to disconnect current signal, and reconnect again. Go settings, under wireless n network, change from GSM only to wcdma only, you'll see what I mean. Signal drop to zero, then reconnect back. This is just based on my guess. No source. Correct me if I'm wrong. I've missed a lot of calls without knowing until DIGI sent me a "missed calls" SMS. It was then that I realized this problem. It's not a problem with Samsung, it's the network's problem. I've tried with DIGI, Maxis and Celcom and also with other phones like iPhone, same thing. So I'd still recommend leaving 3G on. Unless of course, you don't get a lot of incoming calls, in which case, it probably shouldn't matter. Just a heads up. This post has been edited by blackchides: Apr 10 2012, 12:29 AM |
