I think it could be the case. IIRC the Note 1 4.1.1 update was just after Note 2 launch.

yeah, the 4.2.2 is just a temporary urge-reliever before we receive the Note 3

I'm not sure if removing your account will help. It should stop the app updates, but at least you will have no exposure with the account.

Argh, I just bought my note 2 on April. Note 3 = heart attack + porridge everyday 

Just remove the credit card from google wallet

Yup just register and you can use it immediately. That's the safest method I know so far.

Ahh. Same here. My hand always goes numb when I'm lying down and using my phone. No idea why.

Easy job! Get your man and do it for you 

i think i used droidvpn last time

With the crime rates on the rise I usually feel discouraged to carry a handbag out on the streets.

Either I hold it in my palm or I slot it all the way down my pockets leaving half of my Note 2 sticking out of my pocket while sacrificing my mobility (I can't crouch nor bend or else I might bend it)

Sometimes we do need a smaller phone.

actually, there will be one complain that is consistent with all new firmware release -- wah, this new version drain battery like nobody's business!
it will go on for weeks and then just die off...
ya, now that new rumours are saying Note3 is gonna be just 5.7"...
yup, if same functions, etc is available on old phone, who will still wanna buy new phone?
i used to register, use, remove cc... then when need to use again, register, use, remove.

last week, found out we have some prepaid visa card options now in MY. very cheap to setup too. i've signed up for one and will test it out + feedback here after that. i'm sure everyone here knows what's prepaid... so i'm just gonna put a little bit of $ inside it... but when i need to buy something big with the card, just need to topup before purchase.

the card i applied is AirAsia/ Tune's Big card. rm10 for processing. there's annual fee but if you swipe more than 6 times a year, annual fee is waived. this is not a credit card, so no govt tax. i find this better than debit card since i dun need a bank account -- debit card, if limit not set properly, you can still lose a lot of $. with this case, you only lose what you have in the prepaid card.

another option i know is Maybank. they also have this now... but the card got ManU's stars... which i dun like.
yup, both very famous for giving good phone price. just took my aunt there over the weekend. good time to get s3 too... prices have dropped a lot for s3 which is still very good -- other than only 1GB for RAM. i was kinda surprised DirectD board listed SME set as being cheaper than AP for s3.

and OT a bit... i was at DirectD and saw this sales girl was free so she asked me what i was looking for. she looked chinese, so i replied in Cantonese. then she looked at me with a blur look... the other guy at her side said she dun understand chinese/ cantonese.

i'm a banana and many times people jokingly laugh at me and ask "why i'm chinese but can't read/ write in chinese". i was so tempted to say this to that girl but dunno la... these days, hard to tell a person's ethnic background. world is now so... connected.

The prepaid Visa sounds good, awaiting your feedback.

For VPN, if you dont mind to pay some penny , ya may consider FinchVPN. There's a paid and free version, the diff for this two is,

Free = Only able to connect to free server, 3GB data quota with a 60mins time frame, Aka you will got disconnected every 60mins.

Paid = Have a list of premium server to select, and there's no time limit and unlimited data.

On a site notes, premium version only charge RM10 / month. Been with this service for 2 month, so far is good for me.

try use zhong hwa dian xun?

I use private tunnel VPN. I paid us$12 for 50 gb data
Very reliable n efficient. Worth every sen i paid for it

If it's not a primary usage, then can still stick to their free service. Just a bit hassle which every 60mins need to reconnect for once but I don't think that gonna be a problem.

FB is a subversive influence! !!!
Otherwise why would the great restrictive nation restrict it

Try fearless mobility from play store.
Used that when in China..

fruitie ?

Heheh.... I concur with you too.... the ZU is really interesting. Will wait for uncle benny's review.

One of my team member drew out the outline of the phone based on the specifications, and after folding it to it's actual size, that thing is really huge.

I can still handle our Note II with one hand, but I don't think I can handle the ZU with one hand haha.

It will still be slightly smaller than a 7" tablet, but the top and bottom bezels look to be bit too much.
Pocketability can get to be a problem even for guys unless they're in slacks all the time, or cargo pants.

Did you draw out the outline of the phone too? 

joytest, tried putting that mock up phone in my jeans pocket in the office just now. It doesn't fit hahaha

duno..some call it dead line some call it date line..hahaha

no time for that, in the midst of cooking my own rom now. speaking of which, i wonder what name to give it. stalker ROM? specially for alex lolol.
