but they need to allow their warranty to be intact even if users root their devices in order to be our darling. The Experia Z looks kinda refreshing with water-proof capability. Might move from Samsung to try some other brand if i got the temptation to change phone later this year. But definitely not HTC as it is still in my blacklist.

yes i am, there's a magnet at my flip cover casing. walao that is affecting the screen? thank god its okay after i remove the case. will it gave permanent effect after prolong usage?

it might. its recommended not to use magnetic casings.

Wow that's fast. When did they tell u it had left the US?

aiyaa..i thought my phone was broken just now. wasted my money buying this case thanks a lot for your help! joytest i think this can be be added in the 1st page to prevent other users from buying cases with magnets like me
cant wait for my UAG case to arrive

hehehe.... i told you mine would be arriving today.

i got the notification email about the shipping on Feb 12. Tracking the package until LA on Feb 14 which i assume it left US on that day heading to me. So it is about 5 working days after it left US to reach my hand. I think it is 2-3 days faster than the last UAG for SIII i got for my brother.

Hehe told ya. Since urs was only 1-2 days after mine

haha... water resistant limit, just up to 1m ... cannot bring to snorkeling take photo... but it is good to take photo under the rain, and when accidentally fell in the toilet bowl

maybe you are new to Note. It is a known info that Note and Note II cannot be used with a magnetic casing. So we dun talk about it much.

the water-proof ability is good enough for normal daily usage. signing off and heading home now.. will post some pictures of the UAG tonight.

Oh yeah, , Sony has a LARGE DISCLAIMER about warranty WHEN YOU REQUEST the bootloader unlock code. They state that there is NO WAY to revert to a pre-unlocked state so Sony CAN (WILL ?) reject your warranty claim.

So, given the so-called "evils" of Samsung and Sony, I'd take Samsung anyday due to their less restrictive practices. I am not banging the device, but the practice of the manufacturer that DOES NOT allow you to do as you like with your device. Again, there will be the practical consideration that 99.5% of the population doesn't care. Well I care.

yes, last time i was using Galaxy S. Was thinking of upgrading to nexus 4 but then cracked my phone screen and nexus was no where to be found here at that time so purchased a note 2 and was planning to sell it back when nexus arrive in our shore. but what do you know, this device is so awesome that i can say once u go note you'll never go back!

thanks

Heheh, once you take something the size of the Note, you can't go back to anything smaller. It looks so puny.

Ok, 52 more posts to 2500. New home coming. I will announce.


Again, contributions requested and welcome. See page 1 there are several areas for contributions.

I like ur word... "puny"... hahaha...

Anyway, some good news for SwiftKey purchaser...
SwiftKey 4 with Flow hits the Google Play Store


Seriously amazing...

Are you able to utilize the LTE functions at all? From what I have read, if you need to get a LTE enabled SIM from Maxis to make this work....just curious as I am deciding whether to buy the LTE or Non LTE version...my Sim is from my company (unlimited old legacy 3g Plan) so I can't change it...

Ayed, added. Did you have an earlier post showing some pics of your Qi setup with the sticker coil for the phone's backplate? I recall someone did post that.

Just got the flight details and preparing for the briefing before departure.

I'm sure you will have lots of loving from the host(esses). Now you will have good subjects for the camera.

It is already stated in the manual...so RTFM first before do anything next time...

hoho this should be worth trying
