Facebook Home hits in Google Play Store

Leave a reply

Facebook Home is finally landed in Google Play Store.However,the start is not so great.In current around 1500 ratings,44% of people only rated it for 1 star.

I wanna install and try it in my Samsung Galaxy S3 to see whether that is so bad as other people thought.Well,I can’t do it now because Facebook Home is not available to Malaysia.It’s kind of weird,right? Continue reading →

7 Replies

Currently,some Maxis iPhone 5 users have received update for enabling 4G LTE service on Maxis network.It has been reported on MalaysianWireless in this morning.Since iPhone 5 is not supporting 2600Mhz 4G LTE network which is initially applied on Malaysia’s 4G LTE network,the current carrier update from Maxis implies that Maxis has been supporting 1800Mhz 4G LTE network from now on.

Up to now Maxis hasn’t yet released any official announcement for the coverage of 1800Mhz 4G LTE network.However,we may see the overall coverage map from OpenSignal map.

Facebook “Home” and HTC First

Leave a reply

Yesterday Facebook held up an event for Android platform.Many people guessed that Mark Zuckerberg would release a Facebook phone and they were curious how would that phone differneciate with other smartphones.Now we know that Zuckerburger is not really building a Facebook phone with sort of Facebook OS,he’s making a phone with Facebook-centric app(launcher).

Facebook is cooperating with HTC to push out this middle range Android phone named HTC First,optimizing Facebook “Home” working on it seamlessly as the default launcher.Facebook chooses to make this happen in Android platform because that’s the one with open source and highly customizable compared to iOS and WP8.


 

The main concept of Facebook “Home” is to focus on social status which has been the most important part of life for people enjoying the connections with family and friends.When you unlock your phone,you will immediately get the latest Facebook status and respond to that by simple clicks.

TuneTalk Prepaid Review

Leave a reply

I‘ve tried many mobile telco services since MNP available in Malaysia.At first,I changed to DiGi from Maxis as it’s cheaper at that time.However,I gave it up soon because of its bad coverage,especially 3G. So U Mobile got to be my second choice:better plan and quite good 3G coverage as well as speed.Well,after more than one year,I find that there are some weird issues such as hard to connect 3G data with full signal or always sucessfully running on roaming mode when outstation but failing to get data connection.As a heavy mobile data user,it makes me really sad.I want to get a service with reasonable price and good data service quality.Now,I turn to try TuneTalk.


 

I directly order the SIM pack from the website.It’s free of charge and with RM2 airtime.The only thing you need to do is filling the form with your own particulars,choose the number you wanna get to use and submit it.You can choose to get either normal SIM,micro SIM or even nano SIM.

(Fake) Samsung Galaxy 4 pics sneak out

Leave a reply

For Samsung fans,March 14 is a magical day because the next remarkable smartphone will be released on that day.More and more rumors spread out everywhere and some of them seem to be so real.

@evleaks always has some ways to reveal information before the official release including this time.

credit to @evleaks

You can see some specifications.But from my view,the look is a bit similar with iPad mini.Do you think so?

As a long-time Android user,I’m now not only considering the hardware spec,but also the optimizations on  software(apps,OS etc) to have better battery consumption and system stability/enhancements.Apple always does it well and I hope the competitors could learn from it.

Anyway,we will  know if Samsung learns something good from Apple after 9 days.Stay tuned!

Update: It had been approved to be fake.@evleaks is losing the credit this time.However,someone inside Samsung just told the media that Samsung Galaxy S 4 will keep using plastic materials instead of metal materials.I think it would be sad news to lots of fans.
