Long live the S3 and A9 Exynos! Great that the top 3 Android threads are still Samsung, and at least for now Samsung still provides us with sdcard slots and removable batteries.

samsung, based on my opinion,

good:
~unlocked bootloader
~mainstream, easy root and more custom rom
~mainstream, easy to buy accesories
~removable batter, micro sd slot

but it does have some serious cons too.

bad:
~amoled screen, make me paranoid keep using dark wallpaper, and uneasy feeling when screen is displaying white
~although the screen is super nice, amoled screen have burn in issue, its inevitable :-(
~"time bomb" inside phone, s3 has sds issue, s2 have internal battery leak issue. no idea note 1 and 2 have similar issue or not.
~exynos close source, wont be getting stable aosp rom, and hdmi wont ever work
among all the brands, this brand is the one that suck less, so i'm currently using it, and doubt i'll move to other brand unless they really come up with something awesome.

Agree the exynos source issue is a bad thing but it hasn't stopped creative devs from coming up with roms even aosp.

And yes samsung sucks less coz u get to control your own device instead of having so many locks on it and even parts are comparatively speaking not exorbitant unlike the other company whose name also begins with S.

Hi guys,
I went from stock to Cm10.1. I notice that the 3g went to <50kbs, even if the icon is H+. Thought it was the rom issue, then after a week of testing, I flashed to Revolution HD, thinking that its based on stock rom, could resolve the issue. Still the same.

Thought its the baseband issue, so flashed to DXLH1 as per Malaysia region. Still same result.

Speedtest is consistent like <50kbs, even at area where I can consistently get more than 2 mbs previously. Using celcom.

Anything else I should check?

Nice...

Because I am using UltimaROM and before that I came from stock ROM.
Just bought a OTG cable the other day and it failed to detect my microSD card plugged to my card reader.
A forumer on XDA told me that my Kernel doesn't support NTFS??
I can use OTG without issues on stock ROM, not sure if it's the kernel / ROM / software issue or if it's the hardware (OTG) cable issue...

Any ideas guys?

Easiest way is to try another OTG cable or flash back stock rom and see if it works tho...

Some custom kernels do not support ntfs. Is yr card ntfs btw. The kernel features and changelog will tell you.
