Guys, wanna share with you all some of my battery drainage this few days. Last 2 days my battery suddenly depleted very fast, almost 10% in an hour. After installing bbs and I found out in my partial kernel wakelocks, nlpcollector consume most of my battery and cause my phone awake time double of my deep sleep time.

Upon Google abt it and I found out Google location service is the culprit. Since I didn't use Google now, I disable Google location access from Google Now setting and location service in phone setting. Now my battery life is rock solid. Phone is really in deep sleep when it is not in use.

So for those who face battery draining issue, maybe you all can look into it.

Same here I turned off google now and loc access...battery improved drastically

There is actually 2 more ways:
1. Air command > Screen write
2. Go to Setting > Accessibility > enable Assistant Menu > Screen shot

**Take note that when you do motion screenshot, you hand must touch the screen throughout your swiping motion, else it wont work
*
I didnt that we have to be touching the screens for it to work...thanks for the tips bro.

Anyways, HARDCORE S-NOTE users, do you know by any chance how do we start a CUSTOM template? like a form?

Hi all...

Is there any better promotion than this?

Monthly installment is a must for me though..

Thank you.

You better go to Direct D (RM 2199) and swipe your cards for 0 installment since 98 X 24 = RM 2342

wow!! that's great..

thanks ya for the info... smile.gif

There a quite q few other sellers also selling at that price or even cheaper. Have to say this because purely disappointed with DirectD's staff/marketing attitude. About a week ago went to buy a phone for my Dad and at the time their ad in mudah.my was showing RM 2169. However when I got there, the staff insisted the price is RM 2199. A couple beside me was also on that matter. They left the shop because the girl said price depends on the stock.

What an answer...

Hi everyone.

I just bought this phablet from digi. Since first day it has been nightmare to me as I pick up note 3 mainly for web browsing. Each time after browser over 10 minutes the phone tend to warm near camera area. But I am ok with it, until suddenly brightness has been reduced automatically. I have set it to manual and disable auto adjust screen tone. And at the brightness setting there is alert "maximum brightness has been reduce to avoid overheat" is this normal?
*
mine heated up pretty hot near the camera for the first few days only, then until now, never felt any warmth at all.

Maybe it needs some warming up...How long have you used the phone?

Directd prices changes every few days. For hot item daily change. One time i got it cheaper by rm50 after checking their price in their Lelong site in morning. The staff told me price reduced 2 hours ago from their boss n website not updated yet
*
Well, I feel they are just toying around with their customer and I don't like it.

If my next purchase at DirectD happens the same, then my next favourite seller is SatuGadget then rclxms.gif or some other shop...

don't bother about what might make the sound. it could be anything from loosened ICs and to anything. not necessarily the camera. don't pening2 la. shit happens you know. I had two Nexus 7 before and one of them was defective. Went to SC multiple times also not resolved. Stressful you know but don't think about it that much. Let Samsung deal with it.
*
So you claimed warranty for your nexus? How long to resolve the matter? or they give you a new unit?

I was in JB that time. Asus SC there was so f**kin lousy I tell you. Hopeless, slow and not enough manpower. 3 times I went there, the third time I scolded them la but all so langsi ones lol. So decided to sell at a loss and asked the buyer to go claim the warranty from KL SC. Rugi a lot but what to do? life isn't always rainbow and sunshine. tongue.gif

Yeah agree with you. I wonder what is our consumer association doing while we are being bullied...

In this instance, can't we report to the tribunal or anything? Anybody?

For your second link, please do not buy that mymos brand. I bought it for my Mega but after a days usage, the skin peeled off. Mine was green, yes it feels good but later when everything is peeled off, the only thing left is white coloured soft pastic and slippery too.

Anyway, I bought it in MV
