Hi Guys,

to my Kababayan (countrymen) may i know if you know where to find a store that sells class 6 SD card and above, pref in Manila.

-Thanks,
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Accessories] aningpotpot:
CD-R king has a 16GB Class 6. It's made in taiwan. 450 pesos. worth for the money at its price.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Accessories] Pseudonym:
Ugh CD-R king. Anywhere else? I don't prefer buying in CD-R king.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Accessories] jyuuken:
let me check, do u happen to know the brand>?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Accessories] aningpotpot:
The brand is CDR King. Actually Im using it now. and im satisfied with it. even the writing speed for Class 6 is really Good rather than my Transcend 4gig mem card
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Accessories] kesterpogz:
madami sa ebay.. class 10!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Accessories] jyuuken:
thanks for the feedback, im gonna buy tomorrow and test as well. :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Accessories] jyuuken:
Im not really a fan of online buying hehe
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Accessories] Radel25:
Bro baka aware ka sa tipidcp check mo ung username na louie_081475 or search mo ung gskill. kabi2li ko lng kc ng gskill 16gb class 10. so far so good nmn cya sa ace ko at mabilis.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Accessories] jyuuken:
thanks for the suggestion, oh btw lets keep the comments in english as part of XDA rules, we might get called out. :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Accessories] jyuuken:
i bought one since CDR king is a street away from my house, i know they said that their products are effy, but its been working ok, tested it using antutu and there is obviously a big difference between class 4 (transend and kingston) vs class 6 (cdr king one). so i guess ill stick with this one until i buy a class 10
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Accessories] syntx:
OFF TOPIC SIR

What are the diff bet Class 4 - Class 6 - Class 10 is it the i/o speed? thanks
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Accessories] jyuuken:
I guess the brand also depends, but the one that I am using now (cdr king) its more of a generic sd card here in the Philippines, i am getting Write speed @5.1mb/s and read speed @17mb/s as per antutu bencmark. as far as i can remember before when i was using class 4 I was getting 3mb/s write speed and 8mb/s read speed. for the other classes try to google it I am sure there is a guide for that. hope it helps!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Accessories] Vampirøs:
nice
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Accessories] shielabear16:
same here.. i bought a 16gb class 6 sd card at cd-r king since it's just a walking distance from my place.. so far it's been working just fine with my ace.. no probs at all.. but you can also buy kingston micro sd at cd-r king stores too..
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Accessories] jyuuken:
True but they dont have class 6 types :(
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Accessories] Mello^:
It cost around 450php only at CD-R king? Might want to try that out. I'm stuck with an external 1Gb SD card on my phone :| quite glad I found this thread.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Accessories] ijustzeke:
oh great. didn't know cd-r king's SD card was good.

will definitely buy one this week. thanks Kabayan!

I'm currently stuck with my 2gb memory card. lol kill me.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Accessories] jyuuken:
yup been using it and had no issues.

16gig with 1gig ext3 for link2sd working nicely for me :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Accessories] otebb:
you should give a look at dealextreme.com/p/genuine-kingmax-micro-sd-sdhc-card-with-sd-card-adapter-16gb-class-10-54349 i just get that sd and works awesome, and for that price :eek: worth it
[HTC One X] Closed Source Project:
Hey guys, I was just wondering if this device can be purchased in the US and what networks it will run on. Specifically, will it run on T-Mobile USA. Thanks!
[HTC One X] BarryH_GEG:
EDGE speeds only on T-Mobile, both One X's (international and U.S) don't have AWS bands. They'll work on 1900Mhz in refarmed markets but that's less than 10% of T-Mobile's network right now.

No to purchased in the U.S. for the international version unless you live in NYC or Chicago where you can pick it up at places that normally do online only. An AT&T store if you're talking about the U.S. version.

You can get a contract-less post-paid plan from AT&T because you're bringing your own equipment (the international version). Since the IMEI isn't in their database they don't know what kind of phone it is. You can tell them it's a Motorola Krzr (a non-smart data phone) and get a cheap data plan. If you take the $39.99 450 minute plan, and add messaging unlimited with mobile-to-any-mobile calling for $20, you can add unlimited data for non-Smartphones for $10. So your total monthly bill (before taxes) will be $69.99. And, for now, there's no soft cap on the data for non-Smartphones plan. You'll get HSPA+ data which I've seen as high as 8MB down in TX.

You could probably do one of the MVNO's and get it a little cheaper but people have reported mixed results both for activation and d/l speeds.

Good luck.
[Networking] Mephikun:
As you can tell, I bought a used Motorola Droid on EBay...

Works fine and all, but it was still activated on the previous user's account. And I bought the phone from a resale company, so I have no way of contacting the previous owner...

How do I deactivate this Droid and use out on my own account?
[Networking] MissionImprobable:
Odds are that it's already had the data wiped and been reset. If not, since it's on CM7 as noted in your sig you can simply boot into recovery and do a data wipe or do it from within the settings menu once the phone boots and you're on the homescreen.

Like I said though, odds are if someone knew enough to flash a Rom, they were kind enough and smart enough in terms of their own interests to wipe the phone before selling it.

Also, I'll say it nicely cause you never know what kind of mood you'll catch a mod in =p Make sure you post in the right sections, as this should really be in Q&A.
[Networking] Mephikun:
Well, I didn't buy it with CM7 preinstalled, I rooted and flashed CM7 myself. Clearing data does nothing, I already did that when I installed CM7.

It's a CMDA phone, so like I said, clearing data does nothing.

Swyped from my OG Droid running CM7
[Networking] BBowermaster:
I'd take the receipt and Etsy posting to Verizon and see if they can override it.
[Networking] MissionImprobable:
Ah, misunderstood what you were needing to do. Yeah, guess you'll have to go to VZ. An SBF will let you activate it again and sync a google account, but it will still try to activate on the old number AFAIK.
[HTC One S] Closed Source Project:

[Galaxy S III General] MaKTaiL:
What?!

Seriously, I understood nothing you just wrote.

What does Apple have to do with Samsung releasing Galaxy S3?

Why is Galaxy S3 a failure and made for "Iphone costumers"? S3 is nothing like Iphone.

In fact, Samsung took all the measures to make it look a lot different than it's competitor, mostly to avoid more legal rights.
[Galaxy S III General] vertrag:
I agree with you galaxy s3 is sucks in design but it's free from any copyrights infringement that might somehow happen in the future (design, etc.).

I have a quote :P

"if you're smart you'll choose superior device with better hardware, higher utility, and more freedom rather than a "fruit" device..."
[Galaxy S III General] s.alkari:
Thats cool, i respect your opinion :). I dont mind, I just wanted take a pulse reading to see if anyone else noticed what I was seeing.

Btw, do you own an SII?
[Galaxy S III General] s.alkari:
I actually think the design is prolly the best thing about the phone, but mainly I'm referring to the direction that Samsung took with the phone :)
[Galaxy S III General] MaKTaiL:
Yes, I have an SII. I won't buy SIII though because I'm out of money and this phone cost A LOT in Brazil (mostly 2x more than other countries).

Sorry if I sounded a bit rude on the other post. ;)
[Galaxy S III General] s.alkari:
No worries man, no offense taken. :)
[Galaxy S III General] MaKTaiL:
So, I read your text one more time. Tell me if I'm right:

So you are saying that Samsung should have included all those new software features on Galaxy S2 instead of releasing a new Hardware that, despite being "better", Galaxy S2 can still run everything without the added power.

Samsung should have made a better support for S2 instead of moving on to the next generation. Is that right?
[Galaxy S III General] s.alkari:
Actually no, what i meant was that I like that Samsung made some improvements in the software, but I dont like that it prioritized the things that made the S2 great, so low on its list. I feel like samsung's priorities are: Marketing>Software>Design>hardware. Where it should have been: Hardware[Screen+camera+cpu+gpu.etc]>Design[not bad on the S3]>Software[not bad on the S3]>marketing. They should have spent less money on marketing because it was already the most anticipated phone, and devoting more money on developing and releasing new hardware [newer gen dual core might be better than the old gen quad core, people dont watch movies and surf the net simultaneously on their phones, although it is a cool feature], and design [already not bad, maybe more futuristic materials, perhaps even waterproofing?]. And it shouldn't have been that hard to know this, the world's blogs were bustling with hopes for the S3
[Galaxy S III General] MaKTaiL:
Ohhhh, now I'm getting it.

Well, IMO they were focusing on a little bit better hardware to lower the price.

S2 is already a very fast device, improving it even more wouldn't make much sense.

Yes, improving hardware is a must for newer devices, but improving it too much wouldn't be necessary in my opinion.

It would increase the price too much and for me the biggest advantage of the Galaxy series (and Android for that matter) is the price.

Iphone has much lower specs and it still very expensive. I would never spent my money on it, even if I had enough to buy 100.

But I understood your point.

However I think Samsung focusing on improving the Software was a must.

Touchwiz 5 included a lot of custom rom's features that no company has ever included before like battery percentage, customizable lockscreen widget bar and notification window, etc.

These things would only be possible on custom roms like Cyanogen for instance.

It's great that they finally understood why people felt the need to root their phones and decided to include these famous features on the stock firmware.

I only wish that Touchwiz 5, at least part of it, came to Galaxy S2 at some point.
[Galaxy S III General] s.alkari:
you make a good point, I know that what your saying is right. Price being important and all, and I will always appreciate software improvements [samsung does it well, the difference between touch 3 and 4 and now 5 is in the right direction]. but in terms of pricing i had hoped that due to samsung being the source of its hardware, that it would enable it to pass the savings on. whereas apple still has to buy all of its parts, which partly explains the price.
[Galaxy S III General] lvvine:
Customers had lot of expectation for S3...

They would have given 12Mp cam

2GB Ram...Rest of the hardware is good.

Display would have been bit better one.

There is no much diffrence from S2....

I will wait for S4 or Next Nexus release by december 2012
[Galaxy S III General] MaKTaiL:
Well, let's wait and see what others think about this. :)

I gotta go now, it's 1:04 AM here in Brazil and I have to wake up early tomorrow. See ya! ;)

---------- Post added at 01:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:04 AM ----------

I will wait and see if Samsung will ever release TW5 on S2.

If not, I will have to buy S3 at some point. I loved the new features and customizations. :D
[Galaxy S III General] s.alkari:
Take care bro, i hit your thanks button, its always fun talking to ppl that know what theyre talkin bout. :)
[Galaxy S III General] s.alkari:
vote on my pole, id appreciate your vote :D
[Galaxy S III General] Logi_Ca1:
The problem is that you are speaking from the POV of a techie who knows his stuff. I myself was hoping for a dual core Krait/A15, however even Samsung said the average consumer will choose a quad core A9 over a dual core Krait/A15. So Samsung knows that the average consumer are idiots. LOL. (Rather like the people who think that a V12 Mustang is more powerful than a V6 Nissan GT-R)

The thing is software is one of the most oft criticised things about the S2. I have heard fruit users complain that its hard to use (whether they truly find it like that or its fanboyism I can't tell). Its good that they are working on the software front because software is just as important as hardware. If Samsung can convince a fruit user is just a intuitive as a fruit then its a victory.
[Galaxy S III General] s.alkari:
Well put my man, I guessed as much regarding the cpu. I guess I'm like a teacher's pet, who loves the teacher, but the teacher keeps putting me on back burners because some kids need more attention. I dont know if that makes any sense, all i know is that I would have liked to see Sammy give the people that appreciate their devices some more love, instead of trying to convince other users to love them.
[Galaxy S III General] s.alkari:
you really hit the nail on the head for me, i had to thank button you :D

you got a vote for me?
[Galaxy S III General] bala_gamer:
in what way this thread is related to s2???? it should be either in s3 thread or in general!!

People always have higher expectation , it will never be possible for any company to satsify all.
[Galaxy S III General] Logi_Ca1:
Lol personally I'm feeling the urge for a new device so I will most likely be getting the S3. Then when my contract ends in October I will get the iPhone 5, sell it, and get whatever Nexus is out at that moment.

The other source of my disappointment is the camera on the S3. At least its a new sensor, but I wish they put a bright aperture lens on that... My S2 struggles in low light. Well, not that the One X doesn't even with it's F2.0, from what I hear.

Again, the S3 is a mass market phone. With the HTC One X screaming "FIRST TO QUAD CORE" it would be hard for Samsung to scream back "DUAL CORE KRAIT WITH MUCH HIGHER IPC AND 28NM PROCESS". The average Joe just won't get it. :D
[Galaxy S III General] erwichii:
agreed

Ok, I agree with you when you say that Samsung its trying to get more market from Ifanboys, maybe its a good thing to think about there will be more ppl trying android with these software upgrades (lame ppl lol!):p
[Galaxy S III General] s.alkari:
You said it again, and its just too bad.
[Galaxy S III General] s.alkari:
Of course its good, but where's the advancement? Samsung has to at least reciprocate the love of their current customers. Its fun to get new people to like you, but when it scorns the friends you already have, you start to make enemies along the way. ["the social network" :D its still true]
[Galaxy S III General] s.alkari:
I just thought that it applies mostly to S2 users if anyone else, im not boycotting the s3, i just want to know what fellow s2 owners [who know what im talking about] think about it. This might help people decide whether they buy it or not, or at least be more informed before they purchase it of what to expect in terms of how the community adopts it. :)
[Galaxy S III General] bala_gamer:
apart from few departments the upgrade from s2 to s3 is not that huge but those "few" are worth upgrading. sgs2 will have the community support for atleast a year or so.

I totally disagree with this point. Mobile manufacturers are not social workers , they have competition all over to stay on top. so not only samsung but all the mobile manufacturers will eventually launch new flagship devices every now and then.

by the way samsung is no way abandoning their support for sgs2, releasing a new flagship dosent mean end of support. Consider other manufacturers who have not even released ics for their flagship devices???
[Galaxy S III General] a67543210:
Apple fans have 512mb ram and are not complaining. You have 1gb of ram in a monster phone that does not lag nor slows, and yet you are complaining that S3 should've had 2gb of ram. What for? I permanently have like 200mb free on my S2, with close to 400apps installed and many running as services. Common, If Sammy thought the S3 would need such, they would have put it because there is little room for error on flag ship devices. It could cost them a whole year in sale and millions flooding to the competition.trust me, you have what you need.
[Galaxy S III General] Jeegsawk:
Sorry but I do not get it. enemies? Please consider: s3 its definitely not a step forward for human genre. But still it is much better than almost all flagships out there. Yes, it is probably not worth it upgrade from s2 and personally I am REALLY happy about it. s2 is still one of the most usable phones out there but please note this is BECAUSE OF THE SOFTWARE. what is the purpose in having a quad core when browsing is laggy (one x), software its unsupported and bugged (lg), or bootloader is locked?

I will not upgrade and will wait for amazing software to be ported to s3, and I will definitely buy s4 knowing that it will last me at least 2 years. If somebody ask me I tell them: go for s3, if you feel it is too large, just go for s2 at a good price...

:D got SG2 and love it,but i would not buy this piece of crap SG3 with 1gb ram wth :mad: ,my contract finishes in september and waitting for Galaxy Note 2 to come,cant wait ;)

i agree with u mate
[Galaxy S III General] matttye:
Experience is clearly, CLEARLY the most important factor.

Who gives a crap what specs it has if the experience is no good? That's why Apple has so many fans, the software is incredibly smooth and provides an excellent experience even though it only has mediocre specced hardware.

The iPhone is actually smoother than my Galaxy S2 despite it having inferior hardware.

It's a smartphone, stop being over obsessed by this stuff, it's still an Android device, you can still root it the same way, and personalize it, they just added some candies to attract more consumers.
[Galaxy S III General] matttye:
12MP camera = larger image files with no difference to image quality. I would be annoyed if the camera sensor was raised to 12MP because it's a disadvantage.

2GB is not needed yet and won't be for a while. The Galaxy S2 has no trouble running most intensive apps, why double the RAM at the cost of battery life and monetary cost?

Display will be fine, you won't see the pitfalls of it being pentile at such a high pixel density. Pentile lasts longer (less blue pixels, which fail early) and has better battery life.

Do some research instead of blindly expecting stupid specs, and you might then see why Samsung hasn't provided them.

I'm an Apple fanboy for saying the iPhone is smoother? :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S III General] harise100:
First things first, my Amiga is cooler than your C64.:D

Its really funny to see how every time something new comes out, there are people who can describe in length and detail why the old one is better than the new one.:rolleyes:
[Galaxy S III General] Iceanimator:
I think regardless of what you think now regarding reviews or anything. You should at least try the phone first and experience it instead of reading on why SGS3 is a faill or anything.

The phone is not even out yet to the general consumer. Chill out and try the phone first before saying it is a fail.
[Galaxy S III General] s.alkari:
Of course, your right. I plan on buying it, but I just meant that the bar was raised so high with the SII, that its really disappointing to see the SIII fail at having the same groundbreaking impact. You have to admit that it was a disappointing reveal, because the the SII set the stage for something big.

Again, not saying its not impressive, just not as impressive as we've come to expect.
[Galaxy S III General] matttye:
The S2 is still a phenomenal phone and keeps up with the phones that have only just been released despite being a year old.

The S3 is basically the S2, but better in every way, so it's a pretty fantastic reveal if you ask me.
[Galaxy S III General] skimminstones:
what exactly does this have to do with the gs2?

You know there is a gs3 forum right?
[Galaxy S III General] s.alkari:
I'm sorry, but if what your saying is true then we would all still be carrying nokia's.

People keep saying "oh you dont need more RAM [I didnt even ask for more ram btw]". But you keep forgetting that the success of the SII didnt rely on the software, it relied on the amazing specs [we are on XDA for a reason, we want custom roms, custom everything! go stock it up somewhere else :p].

We didnt know we would need 1gb of ram, or dual core, or super amoled plus even. But when the hardware breaks the barrier, amazing things happen, and we get GTA III on our phones, and Need for speed, etc. Have you ever played GTAIII on an iphone 4? its visibly laggy. Not all users want their SII for running a few apps in the background, some want to be able to run those apps, play a Playstation game, and still be able to resume after answering a phone call without locking up or having to force close.

You need to open your mind, and see past your own needs. Im sorry to say it, but the tech world has no room for people who are content with what they have, safe it for church. ;)
[Galaxy S III General] s.alkari:
read previous replies, then if you still have something to add, your welcome to do so. please dont repeat old questions ;)
[Galaxy S III General] matttye:
The SGS2 can do everything you just mentioned already. There is no need for 2GB RAM *yet* - but there will be in the future.

Galaxy phones are on a yearly release cycle. The Galaxy S4 will be out before the need for 2GB RAM is upon us. There's no point in releasing monster, unneeded specs today and driving up the cost of the phone, when there will be an updated release in a year's time.

They have other considerations to make than just providing monster specs because people want them. They have to weigh up battery life, cost, user experience, weight, space, size, etc etc. It's not as simple as "they should've just added 2GB of RAM."
[Galaxy S III General] i360*:
What the hell are you gonna do with 2GB ram lol. SGSIII is good but there's not much difference and I don't need a monster phone with those specs. Still happy with my SGS2 as it still beats the sh*t out of other phones :P
