Okay, nice to hear. Was the lag on the 8gb caused by the int2ext swap thing? Or was it just regular use as extSD?

Hi all, see this comparison of GS3, Huawei Quad XL, LG 4X and some Tegra3 phone.

http://www.phonearena.com/news/Calves-and-...Tegra-3_id35768



Despite an overall win from the LG 4x due to S4Pro, the margin is not by much. And also note that S4/S4PRo is a homebrew A15-like architecture and not pure A15.
So if Note3 is out with true A15 Quadcore....ah......
Honorable mention to Huawei for good performance on its 1st try at homebrewing as well.

Additionally, Anandtech reviewed the Note2:

Lots of interesting tech info including LTE radios etc.

My personal keyboard recommendation:

Hacker's Keyboard. Full QWERTY emulation with Fn keys and all symbols, configurable popup time for symbol switch.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?...ckeyboard&hl=en




It's perfect on the Note/Note2 screen, all keys reachable.

No more swapping back and forth Sym.

BTW :

FREE FREE FREE

You can configure almost anything you want, including haptic feedback.... see screenshots
Personally I don't like haptic feedback on a touchscreen kbd, so I don't use it.

Added on October 26, 2012, 2:35 pmOn your return journey can you test out Waze, whether it has AES spots marked out too?

Waze coz it's crowdsourced, so it improves with more people using instead of depending on a single developer to update.

US Law approves of Jailbreaking for Smartphones but not tablets...duh....


http://www.slashgear.com/dmca-exemption-ma...%28SlashGear%29

............Concerning the legality of jailbreaking: while unlocking smartphones is legal, performing the same actions with a tablet is not. The reason? The definition of “tablet” is too broad at the moment. According to the ruling, “…an e-book reading device might be considered a ‘tablet,’ as might a handheld video game device or a laptop computer.” It was ruled that there is insufficient basis for developing a definition for tablets, which is necessary in order to apply the jailbreaking exemption currently given to smartphones.........


what about "phablets" ?

Actually after you've downloaded the map data via wifi, you can actually run around WITHOUT DATA. This just makes Waze equivalent to your regular GPS, with waypoints etc etc.

What you get when you enable data is the LIVE TRAFFIC info, update and view hazards/police and you can ping and chat other Wazers to ask them about traffic conditions, strike up senseless chatter, get a date etc.....

No, ZH is not a built in language. If you want to you can actually set the Hacker's keyboard icon to appear on tap and then change to Samsung built in or any other enabled input method to write Chinese.

Well, Waze has a disclaimer against the driver inputting info, and provides an option to say you are PASSENGER, so you can't sue waze if you got into an accident while inputting info.

Waze does have quick update buttons, so you're only 3 touches away from updating with Hazard, Police, Camera, Jam.

Anyway, people shouldn't be idiots for texting while driving. Darwinism works in this case ......

Use tonido. Run your own cloud.

Congrats. Have a nice time playing with it.

Right,keeping my N8 as a spare emergency browser,and as you advise,a handy backup camera.

All, an idea for custom case.

I see some of us spend a fortune on cases, and the bummer is the need to change it with every new model. I was quite sad when I had to let go my melkco along with my Note1. Now looking at all the Zenus and whatnot out there. I'm wondering whether any of you know people or shops who can make custom cases.

My idea is for a generic (and nice) case design with a large blank back flap with VELCRO. Then when Note3/4/5 comes out (we would expect approx same size), we get some Nilkin or Rock whatever slim TPU/slim hardcase and velcro it to this generic case.

That's my idea. Any takers?

Well, this idea's not for those that want svelte slims. My idea admittedly adds bulk, but that's not something I mind for a device this size.

I saw there was some Seidio waterproof case for GS3. If there was one for the Note2, I'd get that in a heartbeat.

If I'm not mistaken, I will read that screenshot as such: with an LTE phone, because it has ALL RADIOS, it will auto-switch bands as shown in Xabrius' screenshot.
So you "can" use an LTE phone here but it will only use the 3G/HSDPA frequencies.

I read also that the N7105 supports ALL BANDS of LTE....800/1800/2600 plus something else I can't recall, so perhaps there is a chance that 7105 will work with our celcos, UNLESS they choose some magical non-industry available frequency in the spirit of Malaysia Boleh.

Same version here. Interesting options that command opens. Titanium SME set.

Wonder if there's one to check the custom firmware counter like this ?

Anyone tried Wanamlite 1.4? Based on HK LJ7. I'm thinking of trying coz Omega 4.0 seems to regularly consume 1.2Gb RAM.

I use Quick System Info Pro 2.1.3 to display stats. It's also only showing 2 CPUs...anyone get the same ?
