Same here.. My english is so weak.. Although I did get A1 in Spm and also A's in general paper at Alevels, indeed my level of proficiency is below par..

Nothing to be proud if getting even A+. The standards of marking has gone down so low that it is ridiculous. During my time in the 80 there were only less than a hundred top scorers. Nowadays is in five figures
My wife has given up marking papers as she is literally force to give marks even for wrong answers. In our time you will get zero. Nowadays as long as you shown some terms n indicate some level of knowledge you can get partial marks
Nowadays 70 marks n above you get A unlike 90 during my time
So i always advise my friends that their child is compulsory to get full straight A to deem acceptable
Do you know passing marks also reduce to mere 20 only for some subjects unlike 50 in the 80's
My wife always tell her students as long as they can score a C4 in school there will get A. That is how bad our standards are these days

Frankly i think our education system is screwed.  You see more and more people achieving better score but the quality of the undergraduate is not really good. No offense to the younger generation but this is what i have observed. The country only concentrate on getting quantity but no quality.
*
Worse is all those really good n bright students are not well recognized. My chidren example are straight A student but they dont feel good n proud as their classmates who are obviously worse n often scoring B/C3 also end up as straight A . Is really ridiculous to read 30k to 40k students are straight A when during my time in the 80 hardly a hundred

Yes I am aware about that. But I dont think 30k students are scoring straight As even at PMR. As far as I know only about 1000 students are scoring straight A's in SPM. But I have to agree with you the education level has deteriorated to such a low level..

In 2011, 10803 score straight A in SPM n 38000 in PMR

I think lowest you might get is probably 1700 to 1800. Few days ago my friend went to directd to trade his note 2 and was offered only 1350. So avoid directd I guess or phone shops.
*
Sell at garage sales n you can get at least 1.8k. Never trade in as price always low n buyer will want to profit from reselling it

Which test should I use to test my S Pen?  icon_question.gif

Im so lazy to do factory reset. Not sure how to backup all things that I set for my phone. Furthermore the shop already load lots of stuff.
*
First thing you should do is a factory reset n remove all those stuffs installed. Those are mostly cracked pirated stuffs n will do more harm to your phone
You will face strange instability issues
You can use free app androzip to backup all the apk of all the installed apps if you wish
And reinstall back what you want

Yet Sandisk has the highest data corruption rate among the users in this thread.
Touch wood, my 64GB still works well after more than 5 months.
As per Uncle Benny's advice, don't transfer big files at one time.
*
Yes, limit file transfer size to say maximum 5gb per transfer

me around 7 months already (32gb for s3), 64gb for note 2 (2 months)
so far so good
5gb is too big already, maximum just 2gb @@

I don't mean one single file size. Accumulated files up to 5gb is still ok

I have tested so many roms n even on official I never has serious wakelock issues
You just need to check each app that need internet access n disable or lengthen the period it auto update its data
Many apps by default eg tweeter, RSS, newsfeed, weather apps update even every few minutes
No need to even use autostart app

ya, i'm kinda surprised Samsung is keeping tight control on pricing, just like iphone...

i think i paid rm2199 for my 32GB. i'm still very happy.
*
The pricing is stable as this phone is only one of its kind around with good performance and reliability
Other Samsung phones the price has already dropped by at least 20-30% by now

I disagree my note 2 more lag  since u r a sifu you should understand why it does.

Note 2 lag but I just dont bother and use it.if I want to complaint it will be non stop but overall is okay.

Example of apps crashing android I see it every day your apps have stopped happen to foursquare,  wechat and even whatsapp.

Like foursquare I just sign in can crash wtf.

Back then I installed live wallpaper it lag like hell.
*
Seriously my note2 n ip5 rarely crash. I would even say never
I dont use foursquare n wechat , only whatsapp. N whatsapp never crash in both phones
I dont know whether it helps but i used all original apps
Those who used crack apps will often see crashes n hangs. Such users blame yourself not the phone. It is a combo of crack apps that often causes this. I have seen these in my jack sparrow friend phones

lol i just experienced this just today maybe its normal but im not aware -
I bought a maxis hotlink sim to use in my note2 for 1st time - cutting the sim to micro worth 10RM?

once I inserted the sim to note2 all notifications pop-up then my 10RM load all gone in 5 mins? my friend said its normal if my 3G is activated defaultly.. but in 5mins data is = to 10RM???

And does google play store required another pre-auth fee for using Network Data? coz my bank acct. simply deduct again with same description.

ek ek just sharing...

Once you access internet data is incurred. With no data plan you will pay through your ass till bankcrupt
