yup, you have to sign-up for contract one

Nexus 4 Price: RM 1169.00
Upfront Payment (Rebate: RM 10.00 x 24 months): RM 240.00
DG Smart Plan 58 (Advance Payment for Plan): RM 58.00
An early termination fee (inclusive of administration fee): RM200
Amount Payable:  RM 1667.00
might as well get the free contract from other seller like hotspot in Low Yat Plaza for RM1649  icon_rolleyes.gif
*
sianzzz.....la like that

i not based in KL...susah la nak go lowyat

PS: eh just noticed, means i can sign for plan, then cancel it early?

so total RM1667? seems still ok la, not much diff from hotspot seller


QUOTE(polarzbearz @ Apr 3 2013, 10:53 AM)

yea...just go touch again.....btw wana ask , can i use the RM200 rebate from govt to buy it?

just to reconfirm again, from the 1st page FAQ, I can 100% no problem use the SKMM rebate and then terminate my contract after 1 month rite?

PS: will be big headache liao. coz will use my gf name, then the plan maybe let her sister use, then her sister actual digi sub line will need to transfer to this new number...wahhahaha pening

PPS: ok...it seems really can....hard thinking nooooowwww

I think one alternative is call Touch Control, can use certain guesture to "wake" it
True man, some of my friend also say like that. Use iPhone but scare home button break, insist to use that "circle" thingy to press. I used iPhone since 3GS, never had a problem with home button lol
*
the iphone home button will spoil

but for me is, i use until it spoil, only use that 'circle' thing

what for protect the home button 99, until in the end after ur phone kena stolen, spoilt, brick, u change new phone and yet u never touch that home button before. lolx

but really, for me changing from iOS to android, really is like changing from driving right hand car to left hand car

a lot of what stock android offers doesn't make me happy, need to download a lot of app to customize what i want.

but after some customization, now seems all good biggrin.gif

Haha. For some of us it's actually a feature that we treasure as we can fully customise the feeling of our device to our needs/wants (surely everyone will have different preferences / tastes) tongue.gif

lol yea.

but i really enjoy the function of installing apps of my phone over the PC. search any nice app at my PC, click install, later a bit it will appear on my phone...wee~~

Yeah man. I respect people who can pull out of iOS. I'm stuck with iOS for years, coz I bought plenty of apps and all my stuff is in iCloud. So now n4 is my second phone. Been using lotsa android phones, still couldn't pull off iOS  sweat.gif
*
i still haven't pull out from iOS. still using ipad and doubt that will change lolx

the only reason i changed to android is, i am really bored with the looks of iOS after 4 years (been using since iphone3g)

hopefully android will suits me as how iOS suits me all the time...if not really shitz

Change however you like with android,you don't like this or that,change it,miss iOS look?change it also,android offer full freedom, even jail broken iOS cannot customize as much as android
*
i actually don't really like to customize

i am those 'pls tell me what's the best for me' type of people lolx

for iOS, even use different type of dreamboard theme, end up back to stock haha

I believe there is one forummer sell 8GB version for 1.1k to 1.2k or something

how much is your budget? N4 secondhand is very less in Garage Sales coz everytime it posted up, easily sold out.

Fany fans huh ?  brows.gif
*
i think mostly because nexus still not much stock? and seems not much people using, coz when i want find screen protector, also quite a few stalls don't have

of coz it doesn't help since i from small small town =.='

from sungai petani lo

some things i don't like buy from online, no feel

but for games, blu ray, HDD, those then it's ok. but for gadget, i still like to buy from stalls. most likely because for gadget, when i want , i means i want now. i can't wait 1 or 2 days for it to delivered lolx

i gotta agree on tablet, ipad is way better than all the android tablet.

on phone, android has already better ios
but on tablet, android has some catch up to do

if the ipad mini is retina display, would have gone for ipad mini instead of Nexus 7
*
i still like ipad current size, coz i do a lot reading on it, the mini one too small

while phone, i don't like anything too big. iphone4 size is good enuf for me. nexus4 is a bit big, but still under my acceptance range. anything bigger is a huge no no

i absolutely hate the status bar of android lol

can't show carrier (and also carrier strength on right, i wish it on left) , got 2 battery icon coz stock one can't show left how many %,

i tried status bar + , but then notifcation menu become hard to pull out, super status bar a bit fail for me too

any other better app that can do that? without the need to root?

PS: i also hate the fact that it won't show unread count of whatsapp, mail, sms those on stock. i install missedit! but sometimes already read all, but it still shows the unread count there =.='

Switching OS also means an interface change. Not everything in iOS is in android after all  sweat.gif

Layouts for both OS look similar at first, but are actually quite different, and to those who were used to one, will find the other hard to get used to.

One of the reasons people root their device is to have more control over customizations and the like, here's my statusbar for example (from an earlier screenshot)
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


As for whatsapp, try using dashclock's whatsapp extension.

yea...but at least pls show the carrier name la.....

so when i out of malaysia, i can know which one i roaming in too

and 2 battery icon...osh nooooooo....

Carrier name is already on your lockscreen bro.

And rooting the device wont hurt  sweat.gif

of coz rooting won't hurt

but i wan't use stock android for few more months before i use custom ROM

so before that, tak mau root dulu. after when plan to use custom ROM, only root lo

QUOTE(nsg86 @ Apr 7 2013, 02:40 PM)
Emmm. i hate actually when it show carrier name at status bar,
but when you drag the status bar down, you can actually see the carrier name.

laugh.gif

guys, any recommendation for a keyboard app that can let me type chinese better?

i do type chinese occasionally, but when i choose the input method as "chinese pinyin - google pinyin" , the space bar is located too middle of the screen, leading me to always hit the 'full stop' button instead of spacebar

hence, now i need to set my keyboard as "english (UK) - android keyboard", then when i want to type chinese i only swipe down from the top, change the keyboard to "chinese pinyin - google pinyin" , type, then change back to "english (UK) - android keyboard

which is really really troublesome. any nice one to share? smile.gif
