i recommend kirra0820 as SGP seller. Bought some SGP stuff from him - reliable seller.

yeah, i can't find the power adaptor at their web site too 2-3 weeks ago. I did go into a Machine in JB and asked about it but they have no stock and dun know when will restock.

yeah... try to check it at SGP site, can't find it too. btw, our allshare adaptor stuck at UPS Chicago sorting facility since Dec 22. My office has a shipment from US via UPS too - Dec 22 shipped, today morning UPS has called me for custom clearance matter.

it keep hopping around UPS sort facility.

the RM85 desktop charger? It come with no power adaptor and cable. I am using it with my Note II's original charger and cable.

sorry, my bad, just scroll further down and saw it. Why so cheap? Need to check with tskhor (the seller). He is recommended seller though. I bought quite a few accessories from him, including the original desktop battery charger.

just bought 2 of the RM38 charger from tskhor. Will give a comment after receive it and charging Note II with it.

just notice my wife's new white Note II taking a long time to lock the GPS, i flashed it with Omega V8 with accompanied kernel. My grey unit with Monx LL4 + Perseues can lock GPS in seconds. I think even mine previously on Omega V7 has no issue locking GPS fast. Got some trouble-shooting to do during this weekend already.

thanks so much for the info, bro. Will look into this tonight. But i may just flash it with the latest V9.1 and see how.

never have such problem for my previous Note and my wife's previous S3. In fact, my wife complain the voice is too loud, everyone can hear our conversation when she was in the same car with her boss and colleagues. Of course, i taught her how to adjust down the call volume eventually.

just realise how we have so bias view about the devices we like. Just read some Nexus 4 postings yesterday and some potential owners just praise it like it is the best phones with the best hardware specs and apps out there. IMHO, it is just a plain jane android device with of course the fastest OS update, nothing more. Samsung devices, especially the Note II has much more functionality and features. Those fast system update brings nothing to the user experience if it only bring some minor changes. Of course, i am bias towards the Note II myself.

In order to experience the fastest and latest android system update, i got myself the Nexus 7 32gb wifi. In fact i dun find any significant difference between the latest 4.2.1 on the N7 with the 4.1.2 on the Note II. Those small little new features - widgets at lock screen, multi-users login, etc. is just good-to-have-but-can-just-be-ignored. Wish i have a S Pen and S Planner on the Nexus 7 then these non-essential features.

I will wait for the 6.3" note iii. buying n7 mainly for the low price and fast hardware specs. It is actually my ebook reader and little portable gaming machine, sharing with my kids.

So fast want to let go, even before trying it? it is actually a very nice little machine.

32gb default is FAT32. No matter how many time you format in the Note II, it will still be FAT32. Even if you format gazillion time in PC with a certified card reader, it will still be FAT32 UNLESS you specifically setting it to be formatted in exFAT.

Try using EaseUS Partition Manager to format it into exFAT.

so many user drop tests done. My own one with Nillkin hard case also drop from edge of table and broken into 4 pieces. Luckily manage to fix it back without a scratch.

i think it depends very much what do the users expect from the case. I am using Nillkin hard case and i do not expect it to protect my Note II from drop test. I keep it (originally only intended to get it for temporary use) mainly for its nice texture at the back, preventing scratch on the shiny back cover and lift the back camera lens to prevent scratch. Add on a neoprene case when it is in my pocket to make sure not even a tiny specks of silica can get close to it.

those using hard case like Nillkin and expect it to protect their Note II in a drop test is having unrealistic expectation out the case. Get a Otterbox or Case-mate Tough for drop test.


lol.... totally owned... but i think some maxis outlet do keep the list and inform their waiting customers in the list. But should be quite rare.

why not just get a spare battery? so much easier. unless you travel frequently to overseas for business or leisure which you want the power bank to charge your other device like tablet.

mydragoon was doing a bulk for it but he jump ship to other device and thus cannot follow up the bulk anymore.

btw, looks like our allshare adaptor has arrived. Waiting for Fallenangelz to confirm.

lol... the 4 pieces is phone, battery, back cover and the nillkin hard case. It landed on the back flat on the floor and bounced a bit - so everything underneath the phone just been ejected.

btw, was visiting Legoland Malaysia quite frequently lately and amazed to see so many gigantic Note and Note II around. for the tablet, Ipad are more popular. All these devices are being use as compact camera. In contrast, not many ppl bring compact camera anymore. Can mostly see either DSLR or smartphone/tablets for shooting photos.

another FAQ been asked gazillion time...

for many not so tech-savvy ppl, the large vibrant screen with decent photo and video recording is a good enough reason to get it.

can test whether GPS lock within seconds? Thanks.

my wife's Note II with Omega V8 take quite a while to lock the GPS. I am thinking of flashing it to V9.1 tonight, with Perseus if needed. My own Note II on monX can lock GPS within few seconds, even indoor near to windows.
