Doesn't it hurt your eyes?lol, i can already imagine putting the screen at 50% brightness may cause real blood to flow out of my eyes laugh.gif (especially since the black in our screen is REAL black)

Hurt a lot and brightness is 0 now. doh.gif
Waiting for other themes and ready to jump ship.

and i normally us my phone at min brightness as its good enough for me,and if it hurts at 0 brightness......dont dare to even try lol. for some reason i prefer bright themes with these phone. Which is why i feel like getting nexus 4 or some 2013 xperia just to play around with AOSP ROMs and all those awesome simple looking themes sad.gif

Thank you for this info. Will add to page 1 when I get home.

This is probably valid for those rm700+ "S3 AP" sets as well coz I've seen them with Antutu scores of 9k+ but shows SMDK4x12 quad core.

xeactorz you might want to check this out too since both the note2 and s3 are really hot and counterfeits abound now.
*
iinm, there are cases where I've heard these phones come preloaded with a "modified" antutu apk, which answers why the scores can be realistic at times hmm.gif

Known issue. Quite a number of corrupted sandisk 64 and 32gb class 10 card already reported in this thread alone.

maybe I can use these as an excuse to jump to XPZ? laugh.gif

I guess my 64gb sandisk is just waiting for "the day" to come...no problems yet of course(exactly three months old today)

How's XPZ compared to Note II?
Besides the water proof feature?
*
the thing is right, if we change to XPZ, im very sure we are gonna have to sacrifice a few things. I'm very sure we will have crappier loud speaker, might even cause us to miss some calls, smaller viewing area,super simplified software capabilities, and of course worse batt life laugh.gif

the pros of it would be a much more sharper screen(this will be the main reason for me to change to the note 3 later biggrin.gif) and the ability to run all those awesome AOSP ROMs which will look like they are really made for the phone. AOSP on this note 2 looks weird for some reason doh.gif

Went to the PC Fair in MV, hoping to get a good deal for Micro SD card for my phone, cheapest Sandisk Class 10 for 32GB I found is RM99. Price range within 99-110.

WD is having a good sale this weekend, hard disk going at cheap prices.

4Tb internal HDD how much? tongue.gif

do you ever try Go Backup? it's so simple and convenient, and it's free.

i tried it all, didnt work for some reason. sms backup & restore always worked , but suddenly had an issue. But at least now this works biggrin.gif

But it made the phone super hot while restoring using the alt method, lost 2% batt while restoring lol

Thanks biggrin.gif btw, firmware is the baseband version right? Mine is in N7100DXALJ1.. probably cuz still in 4.1.1.. If i update normally to 4.1.2, root and use triangle away is ok right sifu?
*
use exynosabuse.apk to root. then use mobile odin to update to 4.1.2 with the everroot function checked. That way you will get a rooted 4.1.2 with zero binary counter smile.gif

One question. Wiping system from recovery wont clear my internal storage right? I cant flash using my external coz my sdcard has gone crazy.

Formatting system will just clear up the OS part, no worries smile.gif

To be honest I'm kinda tempted to jump to Xperia Z... Though the battery capacity is much smaller than Note II's but the battery seems to last quite long. I'm impressed...
*
Screen on time lower, but idle batt life is arguably better thanks to stamina mode.

I'm heavily thinking of getting it in 2 months time since Sony phones are known to drop in price fast. Then jump to note 3 if I really miss the pen and battery life tongue.gif

Welcome back. Hopefully the slightly revamped page 1 will serve you better.
And so, Note 3 will have
- 5.8"++ ?
- 1080p screen?
- 2gb RAM
- 4000mAh battery? tongue.gif
It seems Wacom could be the limiting factor in a 1080p-capable digitizer.

cant wait for those two!! drool.gif
