Ok, with help from joytest, I managed to change my modem from DXDLK5 to UBDMB1. I ran a speed test with it, and this is the result:

This is the first time I'm getting this kind of speed at home. Although I wonder how some of our users here (alex, if I'm not mistaken) manage to get close to 12Mbps. However, I notice that the connection fluctuates between H and H+, and this sometimes causes delays in receiving messages on my WhatsApp. I will always have to update my Twitter to utilize the data, then only the delayed messages will be received =/

Depend on location n telco
I am on maxis. At home I get 1500 to 4000kbps n it varies everytime. In town 4000 to 8000 kbps n in certain areas 10000kbps. In KL n JB I have even hit 17000kbps!! but doesnt last long n drop back to 10000 to 12000

Note 2 size comparison vs Pantech Vega No6
Will be doing a full comparison of it vs Note 2 over next few days
Immediate impression gorgeous display vs Note 2
UI is not so smooth vs Note 2

Impressive hardware specs but will assess further
Specs of Pantech : A 5.9 inch full HD 1920 x 1080 pixel resolution IPS display. A Quad Core 1.5 GHz Snapdragon S4 Pro processor with 2GB of RAM and 32 GB or on board storage and a microSDXC slot. A 13 MP rear camera and a 2 MP front facing one. The Pantech Vega No.6 is also LTE compatible and will pack a 3140 mAh battery. Comes with Android 4.1.2

If Note 3 is as rumored to be 5.99, that should be about the same dimensions as the Vega 6. Will be good to see your review. Surprising to hear of UI lag, but then Nova should solve it right? S4 Pro is also the last generation (4mths ago) but should still be fine nonetheless.
*
Using Nova improve the lag and is not so obvious
Anyway I always use Nova as my launcher
Was quite surprised at the lag in the default home UI - is even worse than , say S2

Uncle, I think the LTE band is not compatible with Malaysia... hmm.gif

You are probably right about this ; I took the LTE as if I go to Korea I can definitely use it. Price difference only RM 100 vs non LTE

From what I read , there are 3 versions , L , S and K , all from different carrier . The major difference is the 4G band , L 4G 850 while S and K 4G 1800 . So if we were to get S or K version , we can use it here
*
Mine is the K version - if so, good-lah. Will test it on my next trip to KL

Maxis: as long as your micro sim is the newer type it is already LTE enabled. Mine was 6 months old
In areas of LTE phone will auto detect n you will see say LTE in taskbar
No need to have special activation or need to sign any special plan. Use your existing data plan

Better use those that were already made for our device. You need to make your own zip file to flash img recovery.

Can use mobile Odin pro to flash recovery img file. Select recovery

i am having this issue, whereby i share a photo on facebook, it displays as ongoing in notification panel while uploading, which is normal, but problem is it remains as ongoing even after completed and the sign even change to tick already. this happens on all the custom rom i've tried but works nicely on stock rom. anyone else encountered this?

another question, nobody use apex launcher?

Strange problem. Never have such issue on FB n even friendcaster app
Maybe interference from crack app ( if you have such installed)

but i read bad reviews for it on note 2, including malaysian users.

There are good and bad reviews on Sygic, Papago, Waze
Different user has different needs
There is no best navigation app
If you ask me, I will vouch for Sygic. I bought 3 licences of it just to show you my approval of it
