IPhone 5

bro, its the LTE network.

 

its famous for draining lots of battery even if its just on standby.

 

suggest you try tomorrow with LTE disable. on it only when you need to use fast speed data.

 

i'll try one more day with LTE. today got nth on much after work, so will be going home, so dont have to fret if no charger

 

Why redownload. Doesn't the backup restore process port all the data over to your new phone???

 

it normally does. all my email accounts use google backend with 2 step authentication ><

so i had to manually get a new password for each account (for a new device). hence why it reloaded all the emails.

okay. keep us posted on the result.

yup, if its really teruk, ill be straight forward and say it like it is. to me, i actually dont mind using any phone as long as i can get my emails and get my work done. apple just makes things easier for me because i just dont have the time to tinker or customize my phone ... (i remember the old days of flashing a new rom to my htc windows 6.1-6.5 phones ... and everytime got to slowly reinstall all the settings ... such a pita now that i think of it lol)

i actually think the battery life is quite good, just the other day i left the charger in the office. Went home with 98%, surf net for 2 hours, boy play game for 1/2 half, whatsapp and email coming in...... over the night and back to office the next day, i still have 37% left after 16 hours

 

my S2 wouldn't last over the night even without touching it.

i dont know le bro. maybe its my constant stream of emails (on any given day, i have between 30-100 emails to reply) lol.

wow like that also can???? We have since moved away from HTC after N1. Samsung fit and finish is way better not to mentioned it is not boot locked! Having said that, no matter how good, it still cannot match the fit and finish of iphone

 

To be pedantic, HTC does not lock their bootloader. What they did is to implement signature checking on all overwrite attempts on the /sys partition of the internal NAND. (You can always do a HBOOT and achieve S-OFF ) They also implement PERFLOCK which prevents easy changes to clock frequencies. (SetCPU allows you to disable PERFLOCK too ) Moto on the other hand, has a locked bootloader. Thats really

HTC u still need to S-OFF it. all this S-ON S-OFF is stupid. Samsung u just pop anything u like without all these nonsense

 

The LG Nexus will be announced at the end of this month, very sad why LG. The phone still look ok because it looks like current Nexus but I can't believe they go and match a 8GB internal with no external storage to it! Hopefully it's just prototype and the final one will have at least 16 GB internal otherwise it will be a useless phone

It might be possible that Google will award the contract manufacturing to a few other Android Tech Partners too. I will never get me a LG phone again.

yep, our last hope is to have other multiple nexus devices this year. However, the one from samsung seems to be only a minor upgrade from existing Galaxy Nexus. Hopefully they are other high spec Nexus in the pipeline.

wa u still can write chinese. I already forgotten most of the words, always rely on the pinyin to write for me else i won't know how to write them

to be frank, my chinese character writing also deteriorated due to long time not using pen to write chiense. but still can write most words.

 

hence, take every opportunity to write including on my note.

 

[Acemundo]

I guess... stroke is important as it helps us to remember how to write more words.

It is like memorizing a song is easier than memorizing a dull text.

 

 

 

most of us don't even know if there is meaing to each type of stroke, so it doesn't really make a difference to end users whether we were taught to recognise the word or write the word. anyway, in modern day , we get to read much more than we get to write. so recognising the end product of the word makes more sense than remembering the strokes.

 

writing chinese character is not like fixing up ikea diy furniture whereby you get the sequence wrong and you cannot reach the end product.

[Acemundo]

what time were you using on gingerbread? Galaxy S2 right? the default stock keyboard?

 

yes default stock keyboard.

 

i tried first on galaxy 1, s2 and then my note 1.

very practical man. but of course when teaching chewren how to write, better teach them the proper way lah.

its important from an art prospective. Also, the correct method in writing will actually allow us to write more beautifully.

 

for example those word in the boat one. if we write the boat first then insert the word, chances that the chinese character dont look like a circle or square will be very high.

 

of course there are people whose handwriting are like s--t (like mine) draw boat first or later also doesnt make any different.

haha if teaching, no choice la.

 

but i seriously think software should be more intelligent than just recognising strokes.

haha, i don't dispute that but i will also say i don't always agree with the artist way of doing things.

 

a lot of them cannot work with other people or have their own idealistic way of doing things.

 

architect is another example. some of them design building with "artistic factor" as sole consideation. end up the building is not user friendly
