Double check Samsung Galaxy Note hardware before you pay for it!

Samsung HD Super AMOLED maybe a good display. But not each one of them that come out from Samsung factory is free from defect. One poor guy got a defect HD Super AMOLED screen for his Samsung Galaxy Note (link). I won’t be surprise because I myself personally faced the same issue previously with Samsung Galaxy S II ~ Super AMOLED Plus dark spot issue. Luckily, I got a replacement the next day from Samsung Elite Partner (SEP), Malaysia.

Samsung Galaxy S II Leather Pouch

I used to keep my HTC HD2 in the leather pouch that bundled along. And planned to use pouch to keep my new SGS2 too. However, the genuine Samsung Galaxy S II Leather Pouch looks like a purse to me. I prefer the slide out pouch. Therefore, I bought a cheap one from eBay…

Hard drive failure symptoms

Always backup all your important files. Why? You will regret when your hard drive is going down… One of my hard drives failed me. And the operating system was resided on it. There are several symptoms of a hard drive failure. They are the warning sign to inform you to change a new hard drive. Well, I was getting failed to access files issue and very slow when reading them. And frequent Windows system freezes. No high-pitched whining or loud clicking sound yet. And failed to boot into Windows after few days when this symptoms occurred.

Should I use Seagate certified repaired hard drive?

Yeah… I received my defective Seagate hard drive replacement after 3 days I returned it through RMA. It was sent from Singapore. The hard drive was labeled as certified repaired drive. Hmm… A common question came to my mind ~ should I use Seagate certified repaired hard drive? Anyway, I benchmark it. And the result looks promising. Hopefully, it can perform for years.

Apple iPad Hardware Tour ~ Maxis10

My Maxis wireless broadband connection speed test is still on going because I want to gather more data to get accurate result. So I will start posting Apple iPad stuffs from now on…

The first thing that catch my eyes ~ Apple iPad’s 9.7″ Multi-Touch LED-backlit IPS display. The colour is crisp and vivid while viewing angle is great with IPS technology. It is a pleasure to view it with friends and family together. However, the pixel density is not as much as Apple iPhone 4 retina display because iPad has 1024×768 pixel resolution at 132 pixels per inch only vs. 326 pixels per inch on iPhone 4. So you can see pixels if you put iPad close to your eyes. No an issue for normal viewing range though.
