Where is Adix's shop at? o.o

You know Burlington Square? The one beside Sim Lim Square with Burger King.

His shop is facing the main road, beside the famous Lomography-friendly printing lab.

He has quite a number of nice casings. From normal, humble-looking ones to Ah Beng types with bling-blings and leopard preens.

I bought the Rock (not the WWE Wrestler hor) type casing, which carlover mentioned earlier from Adix. He is a very patient and friendly guy. Not the pushy type who just wanna clinch a deal. Haha.

12GB is not enough, for some people. But for most... 12GB is over-kill...it depend on how you use it... those that can easily hit 12GB...the new Singtel/Starhub plans will kill... for most, they are safe...

I used ard 4GB plus per month...so ya.... contract until next yr...next yr then worry...

ok guys, i found a bug in the ICS on XS.

Facebook: timeline is a known issue, forget about it.

What i encountered on FB is, if you scroll to more than 5 pages down to retrieve what happen the passed info on FB, you will faced a hangout and the XS will run very very very slow and it will freeze and prompted you to force close.

And i switched to the apps mode, and found out that under the "Undering", FB is utilitizing about 300MB+ ram memory, that's is like left only 20MB on the RAM!!!! Therefore, i need to froced stop the FB apps to release about 300MB+ ram memory back to the phone.

I wonder is it a ICS bug or XS bug, and therefore again, i used my wife S2 on ICS to test. And hers is working perfectly fine by scrolling more than 10 pages down of updates.

So i believe is the Sony development on the ICS for XS got problem. Especially on the RAM memory leakage and unable to control the Apps I/O control. Hopefully, Sony will solve those bugs asap.

So did you guys encounter this problem?

Strange battery issue.

I off mobile data and wifi, for the whole night (7 hours), CPU Spy report 98% deep sleep and there is about 4% battery drop from 99% to 95%. This seems normal. However, when I check the battery usage, it report "Android System" was awake for 5 hours + ... and used about 70% of the battery of the 4% battery drop, much more than "cell standby"

I did a test on my FB app, no hang and slow down downloading using WiFi for more than 10 pages (1 contact posting consider 1 page).

1) I close all apps including FB app and check the RAM usage below :

2) Open FB app and scroll more than 10 pages down, check on the RAM again :

Is your FB build in along with the ICS updates?

 

[carlover76]

Is your FB build in along with the ICS updates?

Yes, I did a repair using PC Companion though my initial ICS update is from Service Centre then I found out that it cannot download FB Contact Photo so decided to do a repair using PC Companion.

After the repair then I update the FB app.

So SC did all the updates for you lah.

 

[carlover76]

Nope, like I mention that my first version of ICS is from Service Centre then I am having problem with the FB inside Xperia.

So I do a repair using PC Companion to do a clean refresh of ICS on my phone.

Wow, yours looks bad. You might want to consider doing a repair using PC Companion.
