RM900++ for a samsung note / tablet... is dirt cheap! ... even cheaper than so called 1Malaysia pad haha  laugh.gif

After "taxes" and whatnots, it may be RM1599 thereabouts, but if the spec is similar to the Nexus 7, with the addition of the Wacom digitizer, it may end up being RM1399 ? But you see, this means that the Wacom digitizer should have come way down in price compared to when it was first launched with Note1.

display - no idea using which manufacturer
CPU (processor) - Exynos = Samsung own mobile processor
RAM - also using Samsung own RAM if not mistaken
other stuff - no idea also

have low cost and sell high price = earn a lot profit = marketing strategy whistling.gif
and off course everybody want to earn a lot profit instead earn lower profit because nobody will say I got a lot money,  I want earn lesser laugh.gif

Of course bro. However, if they can afford to reduce the price to kill off some competition, they will. Display should be from their display manufacturing unit.

But unlike crapple, you are free to buy an Android from another manufacturer and you can root and switch a rom and retain all your apps.

Being another crapple will likely be Sony. They were famous for their rootkits AGAINST their customers and have always done things their own way so they can rape charge you a premium.

my phone got problem:
1. sometime mobile data icon disappear & cannot online. restart then ok
2. frequent answer incoming phone call but no sound from caller
3. sometimes i press home button, screen bottom got 1 line like we shut off crt tv.

phone got problem or maXXs problem? thanks in advance
*
Item 3 indicates you may have a hardware problem.

Are you on a custom rom? If you are on stock, then you may want to backup all your stuff and try a factory reset, then test a few days to see if 1 and 2 recur. If it persists, a visit to SC may be necessary.

don't understand what you say about sony, mind state clearly ?
yet, why not said HTC ? need to unlock bootloader, then even you lock back then also will know
and got what s-on and s-off, confuse rclxub.gif
woo how you extract the .tar file o.O ??

In 2005, Sony was found to have installed rootkits on customer's PCs when you played a music CD you bought from them. This was an attempt to control what you can and cannot play on YOUR OWN PC. They did this twice if I'm not mistaken.

And furthermore, you look at Sony stuff, they usually tend to make it totally incompatible with anything else (micro four-thirds vs alpha), and they fought HD-DVD with BD-ROM. HD-DVD was backwards compatible with DVD, and royalty free I think. Sony pushed BD-ROM with royalties to them...and go see VHS vs Betamax...

So, HTC with locked bootloaders which are unlockable, s-on/s-off which are well known methods sound a lot less aggressive in screwing users over than Sony.

Use 7-zip la. Free, Open source, royalty free, no legitimacy worries. Zips and Unzips almost everything.

Do note that there is a difference between "Freeware" and "Open Source".

I remember that, last time Sony Ericsson phones used to have a very tiny Memory Stick Micro M2 card slot .. .which is not standard. Other branded phones all using micro sd only. When switch to new phone other than Sony, have to re-buy the memory card... price wise, expensive lor, but product quality great.

And If i'm not mistaken, many years back. Samsung phones price no more than RM2,000.. now... Note 2...  blink.gif shakehead.gif
*
Oh yes thanks for reminding me of the memory stick.... mad.gif

8Gb usd - RM 30
8Gb ms - RM 100 (as an example)

Yes, expensive. Quality???? I don't know. You are storing 0's and 1's. Why do people want to get shafted by stuff like this.......coz it looks sexy yesssss cool2.gif

Samsung, they did well by improving and giving us what we wanted. I used to have some loyalty to Nokia but as is well documented, they shot themselves in the foot big-time and now have to suckle on M$ to stay alive.

Just installed it and running it at the moment...it requires 2GB of space for the backup.

It's using its own recovery without needing a reboot? Cool eh.

Can intro to all the fearful newbies.

2Gb is pretty standard for JB TW roms in Note2.

In contrast, my Mediapad JB CM10 rom is only 185mb in size smile.gif

Running mine now. Why would your counter trip? Due to loading its own recovery?

Yes, seems that this application will install it's own recovery. Counter will trip whenever any custom recovery is flashed. Now in Download Mode my status is Custom and in the system is Modified... sad.gif

Orange Backup ? Looks cool and easy . 2 mins tot31 ? That's pretty fast . Even TWRP takes longer ........ Anyway , just flash a custom ROM for Wave3 . Blardy hell , for those who are scare of using Odin to flash , Bada is worst x 10 times .

I recall that old Samsung phones had some ancestor to Kies that was not entirely compatible with anything else, and needed a proprietary cable.

I use TA 2.37, it reset mine. Coz otherwise I can't run my Allshare. Tried after Orange, confirmed counter was 1, Allshare won't work. TA 2.37....works again smile.gif

v2.37 seems to be the magic version.

I don't think you want Bada....it's Samsung's proprietary android-like OS. It runs on the Wave series of phones from them.

Ok if that is the case I have to downgrade to TA 2.37 then. How about your system status? is it Modified or Normal.

Status is modified.

In download mode, the 3rd value is Normal though.

In the current TA v2.55 I think, it tries to fool the checker service to revert status to Normal while in the OS, but it only works for a few hours.

not really , Samsung really make a screw up with their own firmware , Bada . Worst stll for 2.0 . U cant install apps unless u dl it from Samsung Apps . If u wanna install it without downloading , u have to flash it in . Here is an example below to flash any rom . . . If wanna flash theme , use this program or even install apps .

I meant the Samsung phones from 5 years ago.

Man, that screen reminds me of the Phoenixtool for flashing Nokia roms. Used it a couple of times to "root" my N8. Left a bad aftertaste.
