hi

thinking of getting a unit soon.

just curious hows does it fare when compared to other sub-RM1000 phones like Nexus 4?

Any thoughts?
*
Most significant difference is

Nexus 4 compared to P780:
2GB RAM - 1GB RAM

2000mAh battery - 4000 mAh

If you are using stock S116 ROM, you can simply go to Setting -> All Settings -> About phone -> System update
I just reflash to S116 (just now  rclxm9.gif ) and straight away upgrade to S119

Btw, thanks to bro xMika guide on flashing this phone. Happy user right now  flex.gif

Glad to hear that tongue.gif enjoy the phone ~

After rooting, install root checker basic to check whether your phone has been rooted or not. Oh ya, forgot to tell ya, superuser doesn't seem to work, have to use supersu.

Yes, need to use SuperSU haha ..

guys, i got problem with this phone.

almost everytime (occurrence level: 7 out of 10 times), when I unlock the phone, it restart itself. Rebooting again. This happens when I do answering calls, reading whatsapp chats, emails. Damn annoying. vmad.gif

FYI,
- I root using framaroot
- moved and linked all apps except system files and apps into SD card using link2sd.
- all apps are inside ext2 partition inside sd card.
-my whatsapp inside sd card.
-i'm using titanium backup pro, just to create multiple profiles for 2 sims for whatsapp.
- other, all stock. Stock ROM, stock launcher.
- Few apps only, Waze, Spotify, Google Now, Photos, bla2 all normal one.
-Memory usually below 40%, occasionally reaching 50%, rarely reaching 60%, and no more than that.

I'm suspecting the launcher. If its the launcher problem, what kind of launcher will u suggest? Nova Launcher?
*
Don't suspect .. just try it out yourself .. if nvr try we also cant help ... use Nova launcher .. if problem still persist claim warranty smile.gif because it could be hardware problem as well ..

Yup, i do notice the WiFi coverage is not as good as MediaTek with Turbo. I guess those SoC from MediaTek without Turbo will suffer WiFi weakness syndrome.

Not because of coverage .. its becase unable to wake up phone from screen lock if wifi enabled .. turn off wifi and its ok .. now solved d change motherboard
