DO NOT, NOT, NOT, NOT!!!! Give anyone there your phone...Lately, local shops have been known to swap out parts from the phone and replace them with shitty aftermarket shit. It's been happening far too often to take a chance.

Plus, you're better off making sure your phone is unlocked here before you go there and take a chance on finding someone who can unlock it. Do as much as you can at home to prep. for your trip ie: voltage adapters, unlocking, etc.

Everything works fine. But its annoying how these 2 messages kept coming up from day one of owning the phone.

Anyones does the same? Or what can i do?
I removed the latest update for those Rogers Apps and those notifications don't appear for me anymore. It only asks for me to update those apps, so I just have to swipe them away every morning.

At this very moment, I've gotten 13 hours and I have 40% battery left.

Since I live out of town, I am an EXTREME WhatsApp user, which as we know, takes up a TON of battery. #longliveJellyBean and other yummy treats...

Anyone having copy/paste crash issues? Doesn't matter what app is open. Once I copy any text I want the app locks up then crashes.

Does anyone know which Fido store has the micro lte sim cards in stock? Checked the Metrotown location and they said they don't have any.

Our chargers are rated for input voltages of 100-240VAC if I recall (it will be printed on the side of your charger), so it is not necessary to buy a travel voltage transformer. If anything just buy a plug converter if the country you are going to uses a different two-pronged plug.

I have yet to find a store that has this. your best bet is to order it online and take advantage of their free shipping. just gotta wait for it is all.......

That's what I meant by adapters. He needs to get a prong-adapter for all his electronics.

Good to know that our chargers will work in other countries safely though.

Having Google Now on my phone is so awesome.

It was able to tell me which flights I had coming up, what time they were, the status of the flight, which terminal/gate, airline etc...

Such a huge help especially when you're away on vacation and all you have is intermittent data from picking up free wifi.

Using Slim Beans 3.0 and Ktoonz Kernel. Been wanting to try out that Liquid rom but have been lazy.

Noop sucks for my phone for some reason so I just kept it at deadline made some adjustments to it. I have my phone at 96mhz minimum and 1350mhz max. Screen off at 486mhz and undervolted maybe about 20~25mhz for all speeds.

I've been getting about 12~14 hours of batt with 2.5~3.5 hours of screen time.

Have LTE turned off.
Use phone mainly for texting/whatsapp/browsing/google reader/social media
