Just went for a see see at celcom blue cube to check on what 4G plans are all about. Currently it's free upgrade, just need to enable at the counter, but I did see a checkmark for 4G on my online management portal. However I just did it at bluecube to not take any chances. It will be an extra RM10 charge to my bill later on once there are more 4G nodes. Good move by them so that people won't complain about poor coverage. So it took about 3-4 hours to activate and this is the performance during light rain and heavy cloud. It's alright to me, considering I get 1.5 Mbps over 3G. 4G settings are exactly the same as your 3G, just need to change the APN name to celcom4g This post has been edited by slickz: Oct 28 2014, 05:55 PM Attached thumbnail(s)

So far I've never bothered to find any wallpapers yet for the phone. The stock wallpapers already are fine for me. The black background help it blend into the screen and bezel. Most of you saw the stock apple photo showing the purple flower on black background right? Well here it is in real life photo. When shown in the right light, the screen just blends into the phone. A week plus with the phone and the display still wows me. This post has been edited by slickz: Oct 29 2014, 08:52 AM Attached thumbnail(s)

QUOTE(adiyon84 @ Oct 29 2014, 09:41 PM) How about my battery perfomance on iPhone 6 Plus here?  The only reason for me to buy iPhone 6 Plus is because of the last long battery. I think most of my time on iPhone is looking thru FB, Instagram and WhatsApp my friends..  Yeah, it's basically a phone with battery stamina of an ipad.

Happy pre Pre-Order day Yeah samsung's market share probably got bitten HARD this time. I'm interested to see if the servers hold up under the request. We're on page 99 , V3. Looks like the phone is coming about same LYN hype time like last year. This post has been edited by slickz: Oct 30 2014, 08:54 AM

QUOTE(adiyon84 @ Oct 30 2014, 05:40 PM) Yup, 3G drain battery faster than others (LTE,WiFi,2G). Mine always connected to 4G whenever I at home or office. Can lasts about 12 hours of usage and 1 day 7hours of standby.  eh ya meh??  but in the settings the iOS help notes writes that turning 4G may drain battery faster. I must test this!

QUOTE(Eithanius @ Oct 30 2014, 11:14 PM) Those currently using iPhone 6 or 6+, do you guys find that the glass scratches easily...? Here's a thread from ASC highlighting the issue... https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6555765never did took any chance, within same day I got my unit I got a tempered glass SP and case to cover it immediately. The phone was in the box the whole time I was shopping for a case and SP. Tempered glass SP feels buttery smooth to my fingertips. It's just so ummmmph to slide my fingers over it

I just faced the same mute switch problem this morning So the first skirmish has passed. Congratulations to those who got their pre order through  After almost two weeks I'm noticing the keyboard suggestions are starting to include malay words as well since I mostly text in rojak english. It's starting to be a bit scary. Personally, I've been using celcom for the past five years, it has its poor moments but more or less I don't have much to complain about them. At least, it's rarely frustrating to use since no billshock, no big expectations from me.

Let me know your impressions  I decided on the 6 because I placed importance over pocketability and better fit in my hands and armband , instead of long battery life.

The problem with being lazy with your pictures on your phone is that there will be a huge disorganized mess of photos from your phone once exported after a good year of taking photos.
If you're anything like me, you cannot tahan having so much rubbish photos taking up space on your PC, but yet you want to keep good memories.
So even with a big storage space, you will need to be on top of your photo management.
With 64GB space, I'd fill it up with movies, apps, tutorial movies and stuff instead of photos. No worries on overshooting disk space, that's also REALLY nice. You pay for peace of mind during trips. No more running out of space to shoot videos.
But do keep them organized, your future self will thank you.

OneDrive sounds really awesome at first, I like the idea that it backs up automatically to your cloud account.
Meaning, this will automatically copy all your photos on your camera roll and into your onedrive.
But, the one catch is that it will copy all your photos on your camera roll without copying any albums that you created on the photos app , correct?
If that's the case, then any work you did to sort out photos will be lost. You'll need to reorganize them over desktop.

Anyways, day 13 of using iphone 6. No bending whatsoever.
I treated it like how I treat all my phones before this: Carefully.
It was in my jeans when I do my prayers, but just to be on safe side I take it out of my jeans pocket when I listen to friday prayers. Easy. Duh.

QUOTE(crazyguy152 @ Oct 31 2014, 10:25 PM) Get iPhone 6 if you have small hands. Hahah.. iPhone 6 Plus is awesome but just too massive.  My friend sold off his 6+ and got the 6. For this reason.  If your lifestyle is a traveling nomad that does not have access to a plug point for a day, even with small hands and pockets then 6+ is really worth it.

Well even the iphone 6 is so big that I can't touch my middle finger to my thumb when I try gripping it.
Haha! One other thing new iphone users might realize is that the display is BLOODY BRIGHT. I had to keep the brightness setting to 1/5th of max brightness under fluorescent light.
In complete darkness I have to turn it down to zero to be able to read comfortably.

QUOTE(rathian_mhfu @ Nov 1 2014, 02:27 AM) For me iphone 6 is good enough..easy for me to use everyday in whatever situation..honestly iphone5 size are the best for phone..want big get a tablet..want bigger get macbook air..want biggest get macbook pro...the biggestest get a desktop..hehehe Hehe that's why, like my case I already got an iPad 2 if I need something portable with big screen. iPhone 6 is the more mobile option. The iPhone 6 itself is already big when I compare to my bicep's width. Running with the 6 plus likely won't be that comfortable for my size This post has been edited by slickz: Nov 1 2014, 08:26 AM
