Whaa liao. Never hear before sending back to where it is made for servicing.

Yes they should have. Cause one thing for sure. At first before people bought the Nexus 4 people ask LG whether that there is warranty for it. And LG replied was, Yes. And now they withdrawing back.

Service centre should not have double standards for warranty. Is either have or don't have. Even if they take in the set for repairs without spare parts, they have to find a way to bring in. Cause they have to uphold to what they have said at first.

Guys off topic already! Haha

For those on the new PA ROM. Care to share what's different and if it's worth doing the upgrade?

I was on 2.9 before this. I have to full wipe to upgrade to 2.99 right?

 

[N3wXTyp3]

Whaa haha.

I am looking forward to the JB updates. before key lime pie!

 

[royfrosty]

Haha. I'm still on slim bean leh. Still prefer the performance though.

You can go to Google+ for the change log.. But don't update to PA 3.00 yet though it's out of beta. There's a bug with auto rotation not working.. Developer is working on it though.

Edit: auto rotation bug fixed!

If you want to wait.

Better make sure they beef up the processor.

1080P rendering is not a joke if your processor cannot keep up!!

Else, just hoot.

hehee.. is a decent tablet for that price.

Just flashed Paranoid Android ROM last night. Fantastic ROM man. Love changing between tablet UI and phablet UI on the fly and customizing the status bar and corresponding icons colors. Pie is also extremely fluid and silky smooth. Animation of the pie is also chio to the max! Haha

Many ways of maximizing screen estate on this rom:
1) switch to tablet ui
2) expanded desktop mode with pie, but you will lose the status bar.. So you can't really see at one glance any notifications.
3) on phablet mode, adjust navigation bar to 0%. This way, you get both the status bar as well as the pie less off the navigation bar!

Need to continue to monitor to see if battery life and performance is also as solid though. Haha
