Ehehe..that stupid green puny gods know nothing else in this world except his beloved fruity. He think fruity is above anything else in this world..and that's including his small brain and big mouth

There is always a hidden counter which we normal users cannot see except the tech
That is why i always say wiping the flash counter you can only deceive the counter staff who take in your phone but not the tech. If they want to void warranty they reserve every right. But 9.9/10 cases has been proven the service center still provide warranty FOC - it was so obvious with so many users replacing their Galaxy Note motherboard FOC due to flashing destroying the emmc partitions

he still have his note 2, right?

Samsung smartphones constitutes >60% of marketshare for smartphones last year and it is still growing. (including cheapo to high end ones of course)

Samsung brand weak in Malaysia? think again..

I just wonder whether Chenglu modified CWM is compatible to MobileOdin and the root survive once we flash new firmware.?

some users in XDA reported successful flashing the UK latest rom ( with multi windows) using Mobile ODin. Some reported flash counter goes up while some said it does not
I was unsuccessful using Mobile Odin to flash the UK latest rom
But at least for now, i have no issues flashing custom roms and restoring roms using the chenglu recovery ( which is actually based on Chainfire clockworkmod recovery)

Dont know and never care
It might even not his all along..could be his friend phone
And even if he truly buy it..he really dont know how to use Android phones. He just buy for bragging right and a licence to trolling here in Android section.

dat's kinda expected looking at samsung phone varieties. you cant even differentiate those low end phones. they are so identical to each other.

dat's some expensive license i would say

yes, agree. No need to compare a phone by marketing genius to another phone full of useful features. Those who has been brainwashed will always stick to their master. I am not geek or nerd but i only believe in values - whoever make a good phones with features that i need at a reasonable price, get my money. That's it, plain and simple.

Apple has been successful in keeping their platform closed. So it is not an easy decision to jump to other platform if the users has invested in the contents (itunes) and apps. If not becoz of this, i believe its market share will dip even faster. Apple users dun jump ship not becoz they are loyal, it is just because of the money they invested in Apple platform. Many of my IP4S friends/colleagues that have not been invested in Apple platform have no hesitation at all to jump to Android by getting S3 few months ago. Many of them have been iphone user since IP3.

Hi all,

a new user of Note 2 reporting in

just got my set yesterday..

I have said that this Note 2 is the only Samsung phone i do not mind using the stock rom and stock Touchwiz UI. But i find the default UI homescreen gridsize 4X4 lacking and so i installed the mod 5X6 - which is just nice for me
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1923876

But this mod need rom to be deodexed and i flash wannam lite deodexed ( basically stock rom but deodexed ) rom for it

hi, bro, long time no see. You are previously Desire HD user, right?

Congratulation on your new toy, I am still waiting for Maxis announcement like many of our bros here. Quickly flip thru The Star ePaper on my Tab 7.7 just now - only saw S3 ads.

telco also cannot jump the gun... need to wait till after tmrw's event first... then only can start to promo... but again, i dun expect heavy promo coz i think all telco will be too focused on i5 launch/ announcement for MY -- supposed to be next week.

as for the i5 vs Note 2 being 2 different beasts all together... i had shared the same before when someone posted they could not decide between i5 or note2. to me... should not have any doubts since they are really different. i guess it's more to do with bragging rights -- "ya, used it for 2 weeks... din like it... and sold it..."

Uncle Benny,

This is the best damned piece of information to counter any who spout "iPhone has the largest user base here".

Useful pointer for all the rest of us.

FWIW I still keep my Symbian N8 as a backup phone, using it now (after selling my Note1) in anticipation of my new Note 2.

Just went to Maxis center to check whether I can sign a new contract with them since my existing 1 is gonna expire this mth.

The guy told me " Boleh sign contract baru. Tunggu lah ip5 dan note2. Dua-dua launch sekali..."

So, maybe it's next week, really.

Only now you just realise this actual facts..? ~duhh~
I tought everybody knows except that green man

but at least can do registration of interest first. I can't remember how's S3 previously, how long did the telcos take after official announcement of SME to get the phones for sales?

can't blame them - most of my friends/colleagues jump over from Apple mentioned that they have to get used to the more complicated system in Android. They are just overwhelmed by all the customisation of android. But after a week or 2, they are comfortable with it. IOS is more like a car with auto-transmission while for Android, most of the things are in Manual mode. So between auto and manual, each have their supporters. My wife's lady boss thinking of getting S3 as her children all jump ship to S3 already from iphone but i advise her not to, better stay with iphone as more suitable for her.

with same bad reviews.
