How did you paste it on? Is it removable?

They claimed they made it flatter.

So your case has a transparent back?

Yes, I "used" to be "rich" enough to change my templates during my secondary school days with my Nokia 3200

KitKat definitely. Well, TouchWiz was never laggy for me.

I just don't know how typical Samsung users use their Android devices. I'm on TouchWiz launcher like day 1 of Samsung Android (Galaxy Spica) and it no longer lags since the Galaxy Y.

I'm currently on Note 2 and it never lags on me. I even underclocked it to 800MHz and restricted to 1 core out of 4 cores running and undervolted to borderline stability to allow the device run cooler and getting the best battery life out of it. Still doesn't lag.

People nowadays: Unsmooth animation = lag rather than slow speeds when changing from 1 homescreen to another

No sir, you got my intentions wrong. In my last line, I was trying to express that the way people define "lag" is wrong.

Loss of frame rates during animation? Turn it off.

My iFruit photography friends said the same thing to me when I used OTG cable + card reader to read my SD card. I just kept silent until I Whatsapped the entire table (we were having lunch) 2 photos I took with my DSLR earlier on (very sharp photo, its impossible for my S3 to take such photos). They straight away diam

The next thing I showed was connecting my 650D to my phone and used it as a liveview to take a group photos, again more jaws fell.

I personally think that, iPhone and Android users are pretty much wide across the range. iPhone users are typically business people who doesn't have much time to deal with the technical aspects and is satisfied as long it works as a communication device cum personal assistant (or maybe a little entertainment). iPhone users are catered for people that wants to be flashy but knows nothing about how it works nor they want to know how it works.

However, people who opt for Android might be one that is more budget concious or wanted more control (think: Automatic vs Manual transmission; ease vs control debate). As Android phones are generally cheaper and therefore it caters for more people ranging from low income earners to school going kids. They are not phone geeks at all, however they might know how to operate their phone or is more able to utilise what the device is able to provide them.

I shall stop here, need to go to work

Not exactly. But I do join my friends for photography outings on weekends that I:

a) do not want to stay at home
b) my family has other activities and i'm home alone
c) got people "jio" me

Add: that I don't really take much photos

Sometimes I just don't recommend at all. I'll just tell them, go to Singtel/Starhub/M1 (they have all the latest display sets) and try them out themselves. I don't want to give the wrong advice and ended up being scolded.

Being a free tech consultant nowadays is hard

Not that complicated. Its like they will blame me for "causing" them to buy the wrong phone as if I pointed a gun at his/her temple and forcing them to spend thousands on a phone that they didn't like. Like what you said above "recommend".

If they have really tried it themselves, probably it wouldn't happen right? Just like how your friend fiddled with your Nexus before deciding.

Sadly they didn't had such common sense

That's the property of matte screen protector. It distorts the colour and no matter how sharp is your screen, it will still go blurry.

WeChat is the main culprit. Whatsapp drains about 1% an hour at most.

Donor version of Greenify? If I recall correctly there's the GCM icon (thou it requires Xposed)

Yes, proven by the amount of wakelocks Wechat gives.

And the ironic part was WeChat's delay of receiving messages are way much slower than Whatsapp despite 4 times or more wakelocks.

Yep. By turning that off, you've reduced 95% of the NlpWakelock which haunts all Android devices with cellular/WiFi radio, GPS chip.

Nope, still waiting Singtel to bring it in.

If it states "Fragile - Electronic Device" on the parcel, sure kena one. Then will ask you to go to their office to pay GST and collect the parcel. If your forwarder is smart enough to write things like Product Sample, then you might or might not get through.

Oh? The last time I had to pay it via AXS

I see.


If you use Android Device Manager, then it will be totally unusable. If you're using Google based mapping/navi system, you need to turn that on as well. You can toggle it on when you need to be updated for Google Now or using Google Maps rather than leaving it on the whole day.
