Ok..thanks. Noted. No wonder nexus px dropped so drastically even though spec wise much higher than s2. No support of chinese language by default.

Jchuacl Clutched August 12, 2012 Share August 12, 2012 The advantage of nexus has always been getting the latest os update rather than user friendliness as it is meant to be a developer's phone rather than consumer phone. If you are a hands on person, there are plenty of customisation options. On 8/12/2012 at 4:05 PM, Kopites said: Ok..thanks. Noted.

I am still on Gingerbread. No thanks to Samsung's shitty ICS kernels really. Apparently if you do either a factory reset or do a restore under Clockworkmod, your phone will be hard bricked. Not even a USB JTAG can save your S2. Some users already reported been bricked while trying out the new 4.0.4 builds (for S2). Thats enough for me to wait out. I am aware that AOSP kernels are spared from this deadly eMMC bug but currently i still don't find CM9 kernels to be stable enough for everyday use.

Jchuacl Clutched August 12, 2012 Share August 12, 2012 For folks like me who are pissed with the linked ringer and notification control, customisation is the only way out.

Telcos buy stock first mah, then they LL can't move prices as much if they can't sell their stock. Outright at most places, the Nexus goes for $10-$20 more. Spec wise, not really lah. Specs are quite close. Similar processor, lousier GPU, lousier camera, but better screen for the Nexus. The main selling point (in SG) is the native Android OS coz it does run better than the version with Touchwiz. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LTLT 1st Gear August 13, 2012 Share August 13, 2012 Bro, been using S3 for 1month plus,overall performs much better than other rivals,if you dun mind the batt life(about 1 day),which i think is common with all big screen phones nowsaday. Auto upgrade software just like apple IOS. Not sure its the best but confirm its the top 3 choices. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So where do you guys get it??? I swear by dataflex for screen protectors. Only bad thing is you have to go to J Cube, AMK, or wait for their store at an IT show to get one. For branded cases I go to istore.com.sg or this car at Funan's ground floor. For generic cases, I walk all over toa payoh then pick one I like. For ebay, I usually look for a high ranking feedback and order from HK based stores as they're pretty quick. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

After I upgraded to JB on my Nexus, I turned on a few functions that cost me more batt. On average now I get about 18hrs per charge. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
