how's the wifi direct doin? OK? Camera black bar not showing?

I bought it for the $0.99. I think in general, buying an app and later on it goes for sale/free is quite common... it's like buying the latest edition of Nike shoes and when the new ones roll out, the old ones will be off for discount. Of course for DT, it was too quick a change... but meh

Don't worry.. reminds me the time I bought my SII when it first came out... RM2099 hard cash.

Then... suddenly price drops to RM1899 and then a sea of people holding it. Literally everyone had it...

Same with the SIII now... bought it like a few weeks ago, then POOF** now 1 fella in school having one also... another teacher ordered it. 2 more teachers looking forward to buy it.

Like buying veggie from pasar

I think you misunderstood... they're all teachers. Not students. hehehe.

But still, what you said is true. Kids these days holding iPhones and iPads like nobody's business. I think kids are more into those iPhones and iPads thanks to all the skins and covers available for them which makes them seem trendier.

I too will not indulge my kids to such fancy. Even if I'm doing it for myself.

Guilty as charged. I foresee me doing it again next year with the SIV.

Wow. that's kinda cool that your kids are into such in-depth tech. I mean, it's not really TOO deep in modding of course... and considering it's Kuala Lipis...

Not going to see it here though in my ULU kinabatangan. They see my phone and go "iPhone baru ka sir?"

The SII was like the sensational phone of the past year. I don't think no other phone came close to it. Which is why it's still relevant even now to A LOT of people. In fact, most phones like HTC EVO 4G and the LG Optimus 4X really do square of very decently now with the SIII. Too minute a difference compared to the SII vs HTC Sensation vs LG Optimus... but to us...

... SIII? Bring it on

must..... withstand.... buying..... games....

1k? lost? i can't say i feel you man...

I am buying 'some' apps in the playstore...nothing vlose to 1k though... it'll take a while before i actually reach that mark.

iDevices? i was actually very attracted to the iPad 2 when the price dropped to RM1199. i dont need a 3G model at that time and even now cause i can just hospot with my SII, SIII, N900. seriosuly... almost hit 'buy' on the apple online store. don't know what got into me and i just ddin't go all the way.

then along came the nexus 7 and JB and Butter and <RM700

once that hits the stores.... *gulp, i just hope for a hefty sum for this year's raya bonus

@tamiya

purchased apps are remembered. just have to reinstall from play store.

@eiraku

google music/currents/books are regional. US only...hopefully by the time JB rolls out, it'll be for everyone

Some launchers have widgets for it. Like go launcher. However, you need to be using those launchers in order for those widgets to work. Which is a bummer for me cause I don't like the candy pop feeling of go launcher

I'm on a 2G area. Logging into facebook and Google (Gmail) is 100% fine. Slow but fine.

@Eiraku
Ah... as much as we love unibody builds(I practically drooled over the N9 when it first came out and I held it so carefully in my hand; and those Lumias 800/900)... I think it'll be a bomb. I wouldn't want it to be aluminium or metal though cause the waves would be killa~ but the polycarb on the nokia devices.. still, I would say Nokia still makes the BEST hardware of all.

If you flash CM10, you lose everything, if you wait for the official JB to roll out for SIII, and then wait for the likes of CR and wanam to get it to custom, and everything remains

Hahaha... I bought mine in Maxis Sandakan like... maybe 2-3 weeks back,

last week, friend went there... thought wanted to order. All sold out.

Still no news of stock arriving here. Apparently no stock even in the Peninsula.

I wanted to get used to it as well... cause I know the blacks would definitely save miles. A few issues though that I couldn't seem to get over. Which led me to turn it off

When I turn it on, it does... veryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy occasional (like in the SII) tend to invert even when I didn't press it four times. Not too biggy an issue cause it can easily be reversed.

When browsing, the ONLY thing it's worth for is reading text... which I do heavily, but another big part of me browsing the web is videos/pictures. Erm... can't deal with that inverted eh?

However, I find the battery life on the SIII to be highly improved compared to that of the SII. I had to be careful to not run out of juice when I was heavily browsing via 3G and gaming throughout the day... when I go back home after school.. .which is about 3-4 PM, I'd have to plug it in if I wanted to survive with it outside later at night.

With the SIII, I literally can run it as I did on the SII and not worry until I am back in my room post 10PM. which to me is MILESSS ahead. Only very hardcore gaming (currently trying to play back Dead Space which I had to replay from my SII) throughout the day would cause me to plug it in about 4-5 PM.

Hahah... I'm fine here. I have mine to play with. It's the others who are restlessly waiting. I bought mine.... *shamefully quite soon after it was out here in Maxis Sandakan

The universal search thing IF I predict correctly, will only be a US thing. Cause in America, these patent wars are running amok like nobody's business. For us, with our phones, our country NO CARE ABOUT NO PATENTS. Just don't update that firmware...

Any major difference with wanam1.8? Cause wanam1.8 is like uber smooth and without glitches thus far.

Oh? Interesting... so you're on the wanam moded kernel? Downloading it right now. Sluggish korneksyen at work.. will try out the wanam kernel before flashing Siyah. I got some tweaks in Extweaks though that if wanam kernel has, then maybe I'll stick to that...

Erm.. using NOVA Prime... just assign one of the gestures to the task manager. I'm using swipe down as the trigger for task manager.

Many other launchers have this option too... I find it more useful than holding the button for 1-2 seconds...

Wanam's good right? He also contributes a lot in other aspects... he supports a lot of themes and other devs that are working to make apps tested using HIS ROM. which is comforting to know that he is popular among other devs cause we are sure to have more compatibility if they are always testing things using his rom. Of course, besides that there is always CM which has A LOT of devs working on it too...

CR was a damn good ROM in SGSII. in fact, many actually stayed with v6 even though ICS rolled out. No biggie there cause it was just as good.

If I'm not mistaken... there IS in fact a v7. It's just not there in XDA. it's in their own checkrom.com website. IIANM

Homescreen only. It'll be weird right if you were playing let's say Shadowgun (always sweeping to and fro on the screen) and at the same time activiting the gesture movements like crazy.

I don't think the half-month Raya bonus is enough for me to buy a 32GB one.

Even if 5k. It's half month. There's a popular saying here in Kinabatangan

"Syukurlah anak"



Well, if it really is so bothersome, then just use another eh?

Go ahead. IIANM omega is also based on stock rom. So should be quite similar to that of wanam. HAVE NEVER tried it though
