Thanks uncle Benny

After reading a little bit more about unlocking bootloaders, I've decided not to proceed due to security concerns

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1898664

Since I perform online banking and some sensitive work related transactions on my mobile and tablet, I better be safe than sorry.

Thank for the article. It's an eye-opener for me as well.

By the way, anybody here uses Juice Defender? I'm using it and it seems to be helping the battery life a LOT. You guys?

That's why they put "use at your own risk" and "make sure u know what u doing" everytime they build new thing that involve unlock bootloader and root.

There you go again
Why should anyone need to defend their choice
Is their money n if that other phone suits them better, so be it
Not everyone is interested in faster updates n especially benchmarks unlike you.

Not asking anyone to defend their choice. But if you recommend something, be responsible. Example of irresponsible comment:

"tegra 3 is better than adreno 320... Not based on any benchmark.. Just my personal opinion..."

"Nexus 4 battery is weak my friend say..."

" don't buy nexus 4 because it's from LG..."

Especially from people who does not own the device. Not talking about you. Enough of these kind of response, clueless user will make a wrong decision.

I an not worry about nexus 4 or LG sale, they are out of stock else where in the world. It's a pity that most Malaysian still shallow on their knowledge.

no need to keep repeating these things again and again, it's their loss if ppl don't know anything but talking like they do.

i did say that T-3 is better in graphics, and yes it's just my opinion because I own both, can compare side by side mah. T-3 is just good in that department and it's battery performance is second to non, it's good in nothing else. if somebody compares with benchmark then it's totally useless, us with a long history of modding and flashing will concur to this, benchmarks says nothing (my OC DHD can beat T-3's cpu benchmark every time, but is it really faster? nope...), real world usage matters the most.

According to Digi website, you just need to bring slip after succeed registration with SKMM. If you take note on the slip, there is a disclaimer stated that all info you provided should be integrity, otherwise SKIM has right take legal action against you blah blah smile.gif

I am taking about the graphics and I am saying your real world observation is incorrect.

No I am not taking about adreno 220 and below that is faster than tegra 3 (debatable), but adreno 320 beat the crap out of tegra 3.

Dunno whether my understanding is coreect or not since new in this android world,we need to unlock for initial root. So it is rekemended to lock it again ? Because frm my reading & low understanding if we didnt lock back & even with phone pin code lock for example,people can hack into our phone

just install Smart Launcher .

What i like about this launcher is apps drawer is organized by categories. No need to make folders anymore. rclxms.gif

Highly recommended to anyone who love simplistic ui and organization.

Anybody still experiencing data drop? I couldn't connect to H and by only choosing wcdma only, I can.

I'm sure I'm in a good coverage. Zzz using Franco kernel though.

I was surprised whn I first heard there is selling 8gb in Msia. Based on the print screen provided, I found it's statement is quite tricky. It is because all warranty is from LG. Regardless bought by AP set or hotspot or digi. U may drop enquiry to confirm if you re able approach LG malaysia for warranty. flex.gif

It's easy to get data in your phone even if you have pin code or lock screen. And it does not matter if you lock the boot loader or not if you still have root access. Can get everything on your phone with just adb command. Most your data store in sqlite database.

here is my dump file.. could you help me to check it out?

hi bassist, i realized you posted it in XDA too. i concur with them regarding the hsic and ebay.

what kernel are you using now? the thracemerin kernel is very close to stock if you are still using a stock ROM. you can revert to the original kernel with the stock kernel reset zip posted by motley or faux(motley said his reset zip file is more thorough though) a kernel with hsic wakelock patch should reduce this wakelock. harsh and motley have them too, not sure about others

i am not sure why GoSMS is waking your device a lot, is there a setting that triggers this? mine didnt wake my device.

ebay is not playing nice from what i have read, you might want to check the setting and look for a setting regarding polling interval or similar, and use a longer interval instead. other than that, your phone looks pretty normal. cleaner than mine tbh. so it might be because of ebay (400 plus wake up in 7 hours is a lot)

dont wait for the email, mine took two weeks before getting the email. i got the email after i went to DiGi. Just save the confirmation page and print it out. it should work.
