Hi all, i have some question below:

1.Digi rm48 plan rm1799 + (RM48 x 12=RM576) =RM2375 exclude usage on voice/sms
2.Digi rm88 plan rm1649 + (RM88 x 12=RM1056) =RM2705 exclude usage on voice/sms
3.Get s3 @rm2099 + umobile(RM58 x12=RM696) =RM2795 including usage on voice/sms
4.Get s3 @rm2099 + umobile(RM88 x12=RM1056) =RM3155 including usage on voice/sms
5.Wait for umobile s3 plan

Been using Digi for 7years on family plan.
As for umobile , I am studying in putrajaya area and 21mbps is available around me

which do you recommend ?  rolleyes.gif

If data speed is important digi is worse generally in
700-1000 kbps while eg Maxis will be 2000-8000 kbps
Umobile dependent on areas n not so reliable in out of city areas

For rooting

Did you use the insecure kernel from here

Or the S3 here doesn't use XXALE8 and have to get the insecure kernels from here?
Or the method you linked can root without flashing an insecure kernel?
*
No ; just follow the steps as outline in the XDA link : you have CF kernel and super user download link . Go read it - it is really unbelievable simple

Ignore that earlier link about insecure kernel

Watching this thread. Waiting until the hoohaa dies down first before I decide whether to dump my perfectly "adequate" SGS2...

... for the SGS3's Wolfson DAC and BSI camera alone.

Have tested the SGS3. Only hating the fatter design so far. Performance is yum. The 1GB RAM is... worrying.

Haish. Decisions, decisions.
*
The sound quality is most amazing n is way much better than sgs II n even beats audio of htc one x
1g ram is ok I don't see any issue with it. Maybe s4 will have 2 gb ram. Design will grow on you. Do not let the photos dissapoint you. Hold it in your hands n you will like the nicer grip the phone has

Hi guys, a question about rooting sgs3

Since samsung built in a flash counter, will this affect warranty?
hand itchy dee
*
So far my past 5 experiences ( over last 3 years + ) at Samsung Service Center , they never bother about phones rooted and even flashed with custom roms. You can find many users at Galaxy Note and SGS II threads saying similar experiences too. Infact recently 3 users at G Note thread even got their motherboard replaced FOC after hard brick phones during flashing
However they still reserve the right to void warranty if they so wish to do so

To those sifu who have flashed custom rom (omega rom to be specific), help needed. Will appreciate if you guys can clear my confusion.

according to the instructions given here
To root your phone you need to run odin3-v1.85

However when flashing custom rom/omega rom,
the instructions given is slightly different.
"install CWM Recovery with Odin v3.04 "
Source

Question is does the different version of odin files matters? Will it cause the phone to unable to flash the rom?
Can i use the latter version v3.04 to root my sgs3 in the first place?
*
It doesn't matter which Odin version you used - the end result is just to install Chainfire kernel so that you can have CWM recovery. Odin will NOT root your phone. After you have CWM , just use its recovery to flash the SuperSU zip and you will have root
You simply flash this Omega rom by booting into CWM recovery and flash it

My friend's friend complained about this. My friend is deciding between the S3 and the HOX. Hence, he's asking me about my opinion. What say you guys? Anyone experienced slow or hang on your S3 so far?
*
My 5 Sen opinion having used the HTC one x before.
Overall S3 is better in term of slickness smoothness n performance. 9.5 to S3 while HOX a 8 point
HTC pros slight faster camera n slight better display
