Yes, that squarish device is the LG Vu, weird 4:3 1024x768, no competition for the Note 2


Well. SKorea is great....just that they have a crazy neighbour though hahahaha

Great insight into IPC on Android. If you are interested in Android internals then this is a a must-have (in case you're not already familiar with Binder)

I think last week edwincodec checked this out and found it wasn't something he would recommend.

Check thru some of his posts maybe from v23, near the end.

Rotten Apple? iPhone 5 is TWICE as slow as Android rivals, claims watchdog

Geekbench tests reveal Samsung Galaxy S4 to be the fastest smartphone
Apple iPhone was shown to be bottom for processing and memory speed
Technical tests showed that bigger processors do not always mean better speeds

=================
Some tabloid reporting, however there is no link to what these "technical tests" may be, and obviously the writing style is meant for Joe Public. Good to show the less technically inclined.

Well, surprise, but welcome back again.

It's a choice plenty have made and have been happy with. The point with having used a device like the Note 2 is a great difficulty with reverting to smaller handsets

Our guru uncle benny has now gone up and up with 6.0, 6.1 and 6.3 inch devices.

Nonetheless do enjoy your Note 2 and share your contributions.

Some articles published quite a while back described the design philosophy between ios and android. Android was made from the point of a computer first, with the UI probably following Unix architecture so you can put whatever launcher you want like an X Desktop, and UI optimization was left to the respective launcher architecture.

ios design philosophy was to make the screen redraw as the most important OS priority with fixed bitmaps, that is why multitasking is not well implemented there, and there are no widgets. Now with the layered design ios7, I would think that there is a future for widgets, but it will not come until they are able to force the same draw priority smoothness on the OS level.

Of course, life is fair, and focus on one thing will come at the expense of something else.

BTW, from the XZ thread:

XZU, Note 2 (?) and XZ (?)

Xperia Z Ultra, Xperia Z.

No, XZU is NOT launched yet. Expected either this week or next for the announcment. It remains to be seen what kind of stylus and stylus technology they will use.

BTW, post 5 under Reported Issues has an article that talks about lag....and it's not the end of the world.

Leaked pic of XZU using a NORMAL pencil ......

Question .... what kind of digitizer technology are they using ....... and how will they deal with the carbon dust......

Win in the sense you don't need spare hardware. However, carrying a pencil is a little tough hahahaa.

The real problem IMHO is the carbon dust that inevitably comes off the pencil point. I used to repair printers waaaaayyyy back and that's where I learned that paper dust can clog gears and so forth.

So now you will have CONDUCTIVE carbon dust to deal with. Unless you buy RM39.99 for a 6-pack of Sony branded non conductive pencils that will last you 1 week per pencil.

I suspect not, coz those items work with resistive screen technology and were non-conductive. This is some kind of hybrid tech which I have not yet read any news on. However, close inspection of the pic indicates that you need to overlay a piece of paper over the screen and use your pencil.......

I don't know how it will be, perhaps we will find out tomorrow night.

So Wacom on Note family still mops the floor with the competition...

We'll find out soon enough tomorrow when they announce, and they will provide some kind of blurb on their digitizer technology.

Why did he do that? Isn't that a historically significant location?

This is ridiculous. Last post from me on this, but dude, this is a tourist area that generates revenue from worldwide tourism....... WTF.....

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

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.

Testing this right now

Crime ? In SG ?


Since you are in MY, crime IS a problem.... many reports of smashed passenger windows to grab women's handbags on the passenger seat. I would suggest you use one of those dashboard mounts where you can clip the phone on like a GPS unit.

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

Since the topic du jour is VPNs and it CAN be incredibly useful in some circumstances, I have made a new VPN section and listed all the contributions from today.

I didn't know we have so many VPN-knowledgeable users well I haven't had much reason to use it so far.

Yay ....had to self collect this morning. Apparently Pos Malaysia DID NOT see the postcode printed prominently on the first line:

Address is printed like this:

Ref# somenumber
TO Malaysia
51200
MyName
My Address text Kuala Lumpur

So they didn't notice the 51200 and it spent a week getting shuffled around various delivery centers.



Now I need to wait for the charging coil. alexng2208 apa macam ......
