I wish Google will come out with 32GB version...
Till that fantasy become reality I'll hold on to my trusty SGS II.

Anyone flashed to CM10.1?
Is there any noticeable difference in battery life?

You noticed that too, eh? I thought I was imagining things. Shame, we could've have a more productive community than members spamming one-liners.

Even if its a one -liner, at least post one-liners with content related to the thread at hand.

Are these people under age minors or kids still in school? No wonder I don't get responses when posting, maybe I need to start speaking on their level of comprehension.

For Maxis users oklah.DiGi & Celcom users enjoice with HSPA only.

I like the apprehension towards LTE here. More empty nodes means faster LTE speeds for early adopters since they don't have to share them with the doubters.

Point is, we're moving forward, we dont wanna stay stagnant. Media consumption at higher rate and teleconferencing is one of the reason why I'm excited about LTE. Had a taste of LTE in the States and it's like when you moved to HDTV for the first time and asked to go back to square CRTs. I've tasted the future and being asked to live in the past.

You may not find a reason for it now, but once you've tasted it, all the previously unavailable opportunities opened up, because the shittier speeds you had before prevented you from doing it.

QUOTE(stringfellow @ Jan 1 2013, 04:01 PM)
So in your opinion, what should they do? Completely blanket everywhere with working 3G connection before they even think of deploying LTE? Then you'd get people complaining how they're lagging in adopting new technology and faster speeds.

The way I look at it, let them deploy LTE hand-in-hand with correcting the problems with current 3G speeds/coverage, so that LTE will be what 3G is to 2G/EDGE now: a secondary, fallback connection option. With that, good coverage areas will get LTE and shittier once gets AT LEAST 3G, instead of no connection at all.

I agree with grading entities by looking at their past historical performance, but you never move forward until you give them a chance. DiGi is fixing it by leapfrogging 3G to LTE, and I foreseen that as more problematic than Maxis or Celcom because if let say their LTE service breaks down, theire second-best connection is......EDGE? *vomit*

Look at it this way, with LTE out, your shittiest connection will sooner or later be , your current 3G connection. Isn't that a WIN?

3280Yen. RM119.

It'll cost a lot of money to a have a complete 3G coverage plus in certain area there will be very few users which will be a waste of money.Progressing to LTE while also upgrading the 3G line is the best way forward.
EDGE is a decent fallback option for data but the disadvantage of not being able to transfer data & voice simultaneously make it unsuitable.

My wish of LTE is just 2.Make it more reliable & increase the data limit for lower price.Limit like 1GB is way too little if you really want to use cloud based apps.

BTW with this relatively fast LTE adoption rate I hope more consumer electronic company will look to market their product faster in our country (*peek at apple).Some company consider Malaysia to be a bit outdated country because of the slower rate of newer technology adoption.Singapore is way ahead of us this with their puny population.

QUOTE(jamallj @ Jan 1 2013, 04:07 PM)
the allocation of LTE supplied by telcos here in Malaysia is band 7.. which is 2600 Mhz frequency.. Its the same as Singapore but Singapore also utilize the 1800 MHz frequency as backup.. so far there is no official statement mentioning Malaysia utilizing other than the 2600 MHz spectrum band..

most phones including the iphone 5 and new ipad does not use the 2600 MHz spectrum band.. refer to (http://www.apple.com/iphone/LTE/).. but note that the 1800 MHz frequncy band is supported with singapore telco..

the latest i heard is the only phone that supports 2600 MHz frequency band is the Nokia Lumia 920 but it requires another software update to enable the LTE capability in Malaysia.. So for now.. LTE in Malaysia does not really impact current LTE capable phones.. because most of LTE phones available now are for outside market..

it is sad though for iphone 5 and the new ipads users that the LTE capability on the devices are useless here in Malaysia unless Apple willing to spennd money on another iphone 5 variant or Malaysia follow singapore by allowing 1800 Mhz band to be used as spare band..

Malaysian telcos usually use the commonly standardized stuff.This isn't exactly a bad thing.We can use devices from other country which are compatible with out network.I guess Apple will eventually come with newer iphone (new new new iphone will sound awkward) which will work in our network.I still hope nokia will come with their GSM pentaband like transmitter for LTE.

I have another reason of supporting wider LTE usage.Unlike GSM LTE have number of proprietary which making it harder for third party to build a custom OS.Also the large number of LTE patens cost a lot to be licensed.Which make it more expensive if a new company wants to make a new os & phone.Hopefully will wider LTE usage these company (Qualcomn,Samsung,Motorola,Nokia & Apple) will be more open with their LTE related codes.

IMHO battery wise Sammy better but in other area Nexus 4 is better.Build quality wise,Nexus is way2 better.
Regular plastic body might be flimsy but it's still one the best material for the phone because it allow excellent signal transmission.

Definitely better than Nexus 4.But thing is most of the early Nexus 4 reviews were done with non-final version of Android 4.2.Current Nexus 4 users saying there are noticeable improvement with battery life with latest 4.2.1.

It turns out its Qualcomm bug for the battery drainage issue.

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=41855

I must say that the battery drainage problem is worst in Nexus 4 than my Galaxy Nexus.  On Galaxy Nexus, i believe it is due to the update 4.2 messing with the battery life.  On the Nexus 4, it is 4.2 combine with Qualcomm bug.

Franko have included these 3 patches in his kernel.Those are using his kernel reporting better battery life in standby mode.Usage time still so-so.
Bigger issue is still the Google services.Eating battery like pacman doh.gif
Apparently Google will release a patch this month.So prepare for Android 4.2.2 to land this month.

I think our carriers CEO learned few things from US carries.
Recently Malaysians carriers seems to gain some power over how new smartphone stock distributed.
This is becoming annoying sh*t.

Why suddenly DiGi having such an influence over some manufacturers?
They got iPhone & Nokia Lumia series and now Nexus 4?
Too bad Maxis not offering the phone.Some Maxis store allow users to buy their phone in rrp.

So now I we want to buy the phone we have the pay roughly RM700 extra compared to US price?It's kinda high IMO.

Another thing is how much stock does DiGi & Nexus Store have?
If DiGi bolot most of Nexus 4 then it's harder to users who want to buy the phone outright.

So do any one of you think LG will be chosen again to manufacture another nexus device?

IMHO Sony deserve more to be the nexus manufacturer due to their contribution for AOSP.

Anyone used any LG phone before & have any experience with their service center?
If their service is really sucky I might just as well go for AP set.

The OS was mainly demoed with Galaxy Nexus.Probably because the open source drivers available making it easy to port it.
Same thing could be done.Maybe Canonicle will release a test image for Nexus 4 provided they can get some Nexus 4 for testing whistling.gif

So for DiGi no ROI just straight away *bam* selling the phone on 7th?

Don't think they'll test drive it on nexus 4. LG locked down too much.

It's a regular issue with Qualcomn.At least with the LTE exclusion it's still possible to make the rest of the drivers public.
