hmm.gif But at 99, it's still worth it right? Since a china brand 5000mah already cost 65 and yoobao ones normal price can only get around 5200mah for RM99. Guess I'll grab it wink.gif

It's cheap, just go ahead. If you find it inadequate, just get another 1 which has 2A/2.5A output. biggrin.gif

Been using Kii Keyboard for more than 2 weeks. It's basically like stock keyboard on steroid x100. I like the long press delay setting (as low as 100ms) and move cursor using volume buttons (only seen this from custom ROM). Load of other settings. But word prediction using multi-swipe, I still find Keymonk performs/predicts better.

And about the keyboard lag issue in GNex, is it that bad? the lag is like how? lol
*
Try it and you will know. Leave the keypress vibration on. Try to reduce vibration duration to <= 10ms. I have to use 3ms on N4 due to it's nature of vibrator, which is quite different from GNex's. If you off it, then it goes away.

I have only tried S2 with keypress vibration yet it doesn't lag (back in stock GB ROM). Missed that feel.

Guys do you have issue when you connect to a WiFi and when you lock your phone for a while, the WiFi disconnects and gotta unlock back and it'll take some time to connect back?

Good review from you means I should give it a try. Got chinese input!!!!!
Most other keyboards don't have doh.gif Need to stick to swype for chinese
*
Yeah, even Traditional Chinese using PinYin. Swype's one only Simplified if you use PinYin. thumbup.gif

But the later version of Kii Keyboard has a bug on the language switch key (got workaround, if only using 2 languages). But I guess no point bringing it up if you can't get the older version to compare. I left my GNex's Kii Keyboard on older version, while N4's on latest version.

Great review hhdisk

If u said Gnex display is batter then G4 it must be worst. I never like Gnex display.
My samsung wave oled display is lot batter then my gnex display.

...

Arghh I need to change my sp. Where to buy clear sp. I don't like antifinger sp

There were a few display (variant?) used for GNex. Depending on your luck which batch of screen was used during manufacturing.

My initial screen was just nice, but it has some visible banding on grey tone. So I sent in for warranty claim. Ended up with nicer gradient shades, but it's a tad yellowish (warmer).

The warmer colour now is similar to N4 (at lower brightness setting) actually. But N4 is whiter when the brightness is around 30% onward.

But of course, all these doesn't come close to S3's display. laugh.gif

The S3 display being better I suspect it has something to do with calibration, I think the Nexus phones aren't properly calibrated at all. The Galaxy Nexus's color actually looks better if you take the time to calibrate it. Though the brightness still fall short compared to S3's. I believe that would be the same case for N4.
*
Unfortunately, there's no standard calibration settings/tools for all our GNexi. blush.gif

So OOB, S3's screen rocks. Ours rock when it was the first 720p SAMOLED. thumbup.gif

if i want to purchase some app for her, how to do, my credit card is link to my google a/c.

Apps tied to the account you remove will remain, but like I said, there is no way to remove the primary account. At least not conventional way that I know of.

If you manage, do update me. smile.gif

If one doesn't want to update the recovery, can proceed to lock the bootloader. I believe flash other ROM still possible via recovery zip flash. Just not showing the padlock. brows.gif

Lock bootloader after flashing recovery? Not sure if that works  hmm.gif

I haven't try it myself, but I think it should work.

The whole point of unlocking bootloader is to allow you to get into the recovery mode as well as overwriting it. Maybe I'll try it on my GNex, after it has hit over 1000 hours of uptime, while waiting for Ubuntu MOS. laugh.gif
