The N8's camera is square and big, but i managed to adjust the ring in a position that it doesnt block the sensor.

QUOTE(thesun @ Jan 17 2013, 02:33 AM) no la, never use smatphone b4.. if no problem, then now just wait my fren got free time, then go buy the phone.. buy alone scared kena tipu.. hehe.. If u only download apps on the windows phone store sure no problem, windows phone is harder to hack than than iOS, and you cant download and install apps manually under normal circumstances. If you are a developer then it's different. The issue with android, since u can get apps from 3rd party website and use apk installer to install the app yourself, there is some risk involved though more freedom to the users.

LOL regarding windows phone VS android thingy, Windows Phone is juz 2 years old+ ... I dont think Android and Symbian were that feature-packed when they were 2 years old. I dont like to use mainstream stuff, when people around use S3, Note 2 and iPhone, confirm those 3 will never be my next phone if i were considering a new phone. I like to be different.

Guys, regarding the battery issue, and Samsungs having quad core but better battery life, i can clear up the reasons for you a bit.
The more cores doesnt mean more powerful, but more cores can actually increase battery life. I dont know how the current generation quad core processor works, but Samsung's new Octacore processor, if the spec whores see, they will sure show off ady if the Galaxy S4 have it. But, it is not a true 8 core processor.
Only 2 cores are active at 80% of all times. The cores are designed to be like, 4+2+1+1 - each of different architecture, some are low power ones, some are high power ones. Only 2 cores will run normally, and they handle low power tasks. When you multitask a lot 4 cores will run, and the high powers ones are only activated during gaming and watching 1080p videos.
Only up to 4 cores will run at once; 6 cores running is possible but it will start to overheat. This method is conserve energy and i think the current quad core processors work the same way. It's the same as your computer's processor, a core i7 has 7 cores but you wont use all. Overclocking alone already produce a lot heat, if run all 7 cores your motherboard also burn...
So, current duo core proccessors, there is no choice for running high or low power cores, they are of high power and they will suck more battery than quad core and above. And, windows phone isnt the most power efficient OS out there.

QUOTE(kuroneko0509 @ Jan 17 2013, 04:31 PM) since when i7 got 7 cores???  That's what my friend told me, which i also doubted; i dont know the exact details about intel processors, but i did read on Samsung's new processor and how they work. My laptop's i5 actually have 5 cores, when you do BIOS check it will show up a 5th core, but i assume it is rarely used.

QUOTE(solution2u @ Jan 17 2013, 06:56 PM) Note 2 & Lumia 920 are my options but I choose Lumia 920 eventually. There is no perfect phone, it is just about which phone is more suitable to me. But what I can tell you is I love my Lumia 920. Nice. Not many people choose Lumia over Note 2. I was using a 3.5' screen phone all along, and i have the habit to use phone with just 1 hand so Note is a bit too big for me. Lumia 920's width is like the limit ady, also struggle a bit when using the phone with just 1 hand. Took me quite a while to get used to the size when i was using small phones before that.

AC power charging still the fastest as usual, i went up from 30% to 100% in only 1.5 hours. I rarely use AC unless im on low battery sometime in the day. Or else at night i just USB the phone to my laptop (which runs 24/7, only shuts down once a week), go sleep and let is charge slow, by morning full charge.

QUOTE(evilpuppy @ Jan 19 2013, 01:45 PM) so, fast charge good or slow charge?? Some people said fast charge will reduce battery lifespan, i dont know how true is this cuz my N8 already over 2 yrs old, 50% of all times i use AC power and the battery life is still stellar, didnt notice any reduction in battery life. But, for me it's my habit to USB my gadgets to my laptop whenever im at home, especially at night. So, the 3 USB ports on a laptop is never enough for me lol, I use USB hub for things like my mouse and keyboard.

QUOTE(evilpuppy @ Jan 19 2013, 08:31 PM) because my signal drop like shit only left 1bar , sometime no signal at all!!! It happens to me sometimes in my campus, but i think it's bcuz my campus is a bit kampung area. Sometimes ppl call me i cant hear anything bcuz of the signal only 1 bar, but it never happens at home here in Penang. No idea if my back cover plays a role in interfering the antenna. My sister's galaxy S2, my family always complain cant hear anything, then blame her phone being faulty, ended up the reason is the stupid back cover. It is plastic, not metal, very compact and very hard plastic but the hard cover was enough to interfere with the antenna.

QUOTE(fantasy1989 @ Jan 20 2013, 12:45 AM) if u use hub ..it will split off the power of that usb port (unless your hub got external power supply) example ..your usb 3 port = 5V and 500mA ...then if u use hub and split it to 4 and plug in 4 device each devices only can get less than 100mA which is very very slow charging (worst come to worst) it might over stressing your usb port that why now certain motherboard come with supercharging usb port ..which can boost the amp up to 2.5A or 2A Nope, i only use hub for accessories like keyboard, mouse, pendrive... My 3.5' harddisk and gadget charging I plug directly into USB port. Im well aware of the power splitting issue.

QUOTE(xxzufrixx @ Jan 20 2013, 11:25 AM) I bought the lens at phoneographymalaysia.com but i used it on my galaxy note.. It should be fit on lumia 920 Because iPong users are the easiest to milk their money, many crapgadgets, aside from useful ones are also made for iPong and iPad.  Since the user base is big just for a specific model u see 3rd part companies spam all kinds of accessories. Im also pissed when looking for just a unique back cover, evrywhere i see is Galaxy S3, Note 2 and iPhone only. I want something unique like the ones in this site. http://www.phonecase.com.my/

QUOTE(aspire2oo6 @ Jan 20 2013, 04:53 PM) i rather pay more to get a good experience and stability. Digi is cheap because they have no choice because their service quality is bad. Maxis 90% places i go i get H+ even now while posting this. Most places i can get 3mbps to 6mbps if main city area can reach up to 8mbps. I am paying RM48 for 1GB exceed no charge. Im planning to grab the sms plan, 200 sms + 100min talk time, then add on RM 48 @1gb/month. Get the Galaxy Y for free then sell it off. Me not rich, or else i get the iValue plan and sell off the iPhone. Currently on Maxis prepaid. This post has been edited by EXkurogane: Jan 20 2013, 05:06 PM
