Those who use the exchange email and also recently updated the firmware to 4.2.2, you may need to delete your exchange account and create again if you are experiencing problems receiving emails. This is what happened to me...

No need to do any repair before the update is prompted. Just wait patiently for your turn. You can also check if the update is available via OTA (go to Update Centre app in your phone) or from SUS.

Yup cause my work place can't detect LTE mode, so might as well turn it off. So I can just rely on data mode. LTE reallt v consume battery

u mean u set it to 3G instead of 4G?

the batt life after update on LTE seems quite okay... its like 7 mins drop 1%...
100% can last 700 mins = more than 10 hours... but still not enough to cover for wholeday...

I set to 2G... well batt drop much slower ard 10+ mins drop 1%...

Above are without stamina mode on...

I mainly use for whatsapp so use 2G is sufficent... when surfing or wanna watch fb video then set LTE

Weird, suddenly keep seeing the notification that whatsapp is preventing stamina mode from working properly or something.

Never encounter this before. Btw, still on Android 4.1.2

I had this problem oso, but just fixed it.
go to gesture on keyboard, u have 3 options there, ur settings should be at handwriting on keyboard.
Either select off, or just gesture input, this should do the trick.

I agree with you on the battery life on LTE network as well. It seems to be less draining compared to 4.1.2 and I am very happy with the battery performance.

Is it true that Starhub is no longer carrying this phone? I practically called over 17 of their exclusive stores and all of them say theres no stock and stahub no longer carrying this line. I feel frustrated considering the person told me that last week they stopped and this week happens to be my recontract and I wanted it for a long time.

IIRC, purple was the only color when I checked SH website since early June. whether online or Starhub shop.

Might be they only left purple stock and didn't want to take in any more. I got it at $49@SS value, a bargain for top end model.

So to Settings ->more->Mobile network (have to scroll down)-> Network mode-> select WCDMA/GSM

So far the reviews online have been a mixed bag.

But considering that this is the cheapest among the flagships, would you guys recommend me to get this phone?

[scubyti]

True. If you have too much money, buy S4 and you will sure have a lot of complaints.
