So I wonder how we will all behave when Note 3 gets announced in August next year.....

I'll never settle for anything less than 5.3" anymore man. Seeing the wife's S3 gives me the feeling it's just so puny.

See more with Note ! ™

Hmm, looking at your CPUSpy report, it seems that there is some usage time not fully accounted for. But if you were playing games, it's quite telling that the CPU isn't at all taxed very much, since only around 20mins was spent at 1600MHz.

Samsung seems to have optimized Android very well for this beast machine. All activities are taking place at 1400MHz and below.

However, I do notice that your daily usage graphs show a very distinct triangular shape meaning that the rate of discharge is fairly constant.

On mine, with very very little use, the discharge rate seems to be about 25-30% within 8 hrs, then when I hit LYN ( ) the rate drops faster. Today, with 2h45m SOT, I'm still at 52% after 13hrs unplugged.

Damn good.

Would it be a certain large multinational that manufactures computer equipment...

RM23 for a melkco ??? Not SGD ???

They achieved all this via traditional methods, and did not need to rely on any so-called "iconic" personality that projected a reality distortion field whereby inferior features were swallowed as "magical" and "only we can do this".

+++ for Samsung. Real innovation.

I want to ask if anyone has played with any NFC apps. Samsung's AppStore has a couple, and I loaded up something called NFC Taginfo.

It CAN READ OUR PASSPORT and a variety of other tap-to-beep cards like door entry, parking etc.
I'm sure other apps have a WRITE function...

US Government: You Don't Own Your Cloud Data So We Can Access It At Any Time

ALL YOUR DATA ARE BELONG TO US

... Additionally, the government's argument that you lose all your property rights by storing your data on the cloud could apply to Amazon's S3 or Google Apps or Apple iCloud services as well

Slashdot is a good read about many opinions
http://yro.slashdot.org/story/12/11/02/173...-it-at-any-time

Extract from EFF article: (Electronic Frontier Foundation, watchdog for rights in computing)
https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2012/10/gover...cloud-computing
......
But in addition, the government's approach should terrify any user of cloud computer services—not to mention the providers. The government maintains that Mr. Goodwin lost his property rights in his data by storing it on a cloud computing service. Specifically, the government argues that both the contract between Megaupload and Mr. Goodwin (a standard cloud computing contract) and the contract between Megaupload and the server host, Carpathia (also a standard agreement), "likely limit any property interest he may have" in his data. (Page 4). If the government is right, no provider can both protect itself against sudden losses (like those due to a hurricane) and also promise its customers that their property rights will be maintained when they use the service. Nor can they promise that their property might not suddenly disappear, with no reasonable way to get it back if the government comes in with a warrant. Apparently your property rights "become severely limited" if you allow someone else to host your data under standard cloud computing arrangements. This argument isn't limited in any way to Megaupload -- it would apply if the third party host was Amazon's S3 or Google Apps or or Apple iCloud.

The government's tactics here also demonstrate another chilling thing—if users do try to get their property back, the government won't hesitate to comb through their property to try to find an argument to use against them.

Convenient? Yes....

Who controls? ....??

Wait about 30s to 1m

What's the feature in Samsung Kbd you can't live without? There's Swype from Samsung store for free...otherwise there's always Hacker's Keyboard as I posted before.

Good question.

Can ubitap answer this?

Installed, googling.

Dont seem straightforward. I tried on my parking access,dunno work or not yet. I did a Share,so wait for monday.

I recall someone said something like SDMaid ??? Anyone tried that?

Storage Analyzer shows files but doesn't show orphans.

Long winded answer:

http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/jailbroken-io...oid-story-idea/

Rooting: This is something you do with an Android device, and does not require a special ROM. When you root a device, you are effectively telling Android to treat you like a grown-up. Suddenly, apps you install on your phone can do crazy things like backup and freeze system software, keep your phone from ringing when someone annoying calls, and more.

Jailbreaking: This is the iOS parallel for rooting, more or less. Meaning, you don’t install a separate version of iOS itself, but you use the same iOS you’ve used before, just with special permissions and the options to install more software and plugins via Cydia.
......
The only key difference is that Apple is actively trying to fight jailbreaking, while Google doesn’t fight rooting at all.


US Law makes jailbreaking of phones LEGAL. Last week's ruling.

Thanks. I'm aware of the security in contactless payment cards. However, tag emulation will be good for all the other cards.

Maybe you could try a custom rom and flog its benefits, since you provide such products and services.

Yes, I'm experiencing the same. Browsing and web download is smooth, but Play store downloads suck....I have to switch to wifi.

Any MORE people experience this?

I'll hold out a while more, then MNP time....

Well, I got a Celcom number to test out, and it was the mAdvance 88 before Maxis had the Surfmore...so now I guess I will seriously consider MNP before my next bill cycle is up.

Tell us your adventure of applying it. I think it's got many pieces rite?

I think the download cancels when the processor goes into deep sleep...maybe keep a wakelock?
