I would say get the ones which will cover your warranty as we dunno whether they have international warranty or not.

So if you plan to return to Russia and stay there for like a year, get one in Russia.

If you wanna come back home permanently, get one here.

I'll be here till 2015. Warranty is by shop only, 1 year, most likely AP set. International warranty isn't included. I'll be going to check out the phone this Saturday. Hopefully everything is ok, and I'll cash and carry. Fingers crossed blush.gif

Is it wise to get the model with c6902 serial number? I am aware that LTE isn't supported. Or is it wiser to get the c6903 / c6906 / c6943 versions (LTE supported) instead? I was wondering how often will we be using the 4g network hmm.gif

Another 18 month because more future proof you mean? Haha laugh.gif Cause I'm gonna buy this phone on Saturday. I'm not in Malaysia currently. Was thinking if not necessary, then can save a little more and get the HSPA version only. Poorfag ma sweat.gif

Normally I use u-mobile's prepaid plan when I'm in Malaysia. If not mistaken, they don't provide LTE services yet

In Russia, we have to pay almost triple for LTE compared to 3g doh.gif

Guys, just a little update here. I'll be ordering my c6903 set tonight. AP set. Hopefully everything is well (namely camera, connectivity, no yellow hue, etc etc). Will be collecting the phone either on Friday or Saturday.

How to check / test for every function on the phone?

I don't have a wifi router in my place. How do I set up ad hoc wifi from my laptop?




This video isn't really helping.

I thought android phones are like iphones/ipods in terms of ad hoc connectivity doh.gif

I've tried dialing that set of numbers before paying but at says it's invalid number. Therefore I checked the functions manually. How to test total call time?

Yes, your ap set maybe coming from hk. Hk fw by default comes with a few Chinese apps.

As I just gotten this phone a few days back, the fw on it is .257. Shouldn't it be .534 (older ver) ?

I've read that the .257 ver heats up less compared to the .534 ver. But my phone heats up a lot after only 10 mins of playing pvz2. I cannot imagine how much worse is it for the .534 version shakehead.gif

Haha... Don't let the simple game play of pvz2 fool u... It's actually a very graphics intense game.

So it's normal that my phone comes with fw 257 right? I thought all stock fw for z1 should be 534. Haha. Cos if not mistaken 534 can root, and 257 can't.

How do you all cool / lessen the heating? I'm still using this phone nakedly. Imo will be worse after I bought a book casing lo whistling.gif

I think the heat is normal. So far I've been playing games for 30mins, the phone got hot but still Ok. But I'll never charge myphone if it's hot.

Haha, my definition of hot is when I rest my phone on the back of my arm. If its burning, then its hot blush.gif Not syiok de play pvz2. Play 1 or 2 games then hot like hell de. My old ipod touch also not that hot after 4-5 games doh.gif

Which app to control the cpu freq? smile.gif I still haven't rooted my phone. Have to flash to 534 first sweat.gif

I remembered on the Z forum there are tools on how to make the bottom and top bar black instead of gray. Anyone knows how to change both bars of the homescreen to black instead of gray?

What bar are you referring to? Gmd auto hide soft key helps you to adjust the soft keys though. Need to root.

At the end of the day i think its normal to have heat on your phone after heavy usage of apps such as games. I had the same issue when i used iPhone 4. No matter what device you use these days, all has this issue. Its the same as laptop and computers. It also gets heated up on heavy usage but the only differences is that laptops and computers have better cooling system using fan. Mobile phones don't have fans. And for the size, the only way is to create proper heat distribution and thats the best you can do. No matter how hot my device gets, its still bearable. Unless something is really wrong with your device. smile.gif

Well said mate. notworthy.gif

QUOTE(MjMax15 @ Dec 9 2013, 06:16 AM)
talking about the heat,
its only occur when im playing PVZ2,
but none for this issue for asphalt 8 & dead trigger 2
a bit weird eh? laugh.gif

Serious? shocking.gif Ive downloaded asphalt 8 but haven't tried it yet. Gonna try it soon.

QUOTE(Safar @ Dec 9 2013, 06:45 AM)
Try ask resell market for Z1 and Note 3, which one higher price.
Sold my Z1 for less than half of the original price before i can top up to get Note 3.
I love the design, look and function however camera output far way poor quality than i expected for 20.1MP quality.
Sold both Z1 and Z Tablet LTE  , moved back to Samsung with Note 3 and Note 10.1 - 2014 Edition.
*
Yeah auto mode is so-so. But manually it's good enough for me. No complains smile.gif Normal lo, higher demands = better resale value nod.gif

Any good apps that you guys can't live without on your z1? I know there are lots of app reviews and recommendations out there. I just wanna know what are those that matter to you guys smile.gif

Gonna try out this app soon:
