why is GPS still aligning themselves with PN?

pziv2 — Tue, 03 Aug 2021 19:19:21 +0800

GPS as a bloc has 18 seats and as a whole command a powerful number of MPs
they are against PAS' activities expanding into Borneo
and they don't seem to gain any really anything from staying with them? they're being associated with the failures of this govt.

Why did they ally themselves to PN? Wouldn't it make more sense to ally with PH in exchange for DPM or PM post alongside some promise that malayan parties cease their activities in Borneo idk

Android gaming thread

pziv2 — Fri, 28 Jan 2011 16:21:31 +0800

I havent seen a thread on Android gaming, Android apps yes, but a dedicated thread for gaming? No.

So let's share our recommendations on which game is good and which is not. (Try not to make this to an Angry Birds thread)

Currently I have these games installed:
-GT Racing (sort of like Gran Turismo for phones)
-Angry Birds
-Hawx (dogfighting!)
-Prism 3D (when you are looking for some accelerometre fun)
-Rocket Bunnies (very fun!)

HTC Dream problem

pziv2 — Wed, 28 Apr 2010 20:10:25 +0800

So last night I was playing with my G1 until the battery is nearly dead. Today I woke up and as usual the battery is dead. So I plugged in the charger and at the same time powered it back on. An hour later I came back to my phone to find it with a black screen with all five physical button's LED alight. I took out the battery and reinserted it back. I powered it on and now I'm stuck at a black screen during booting-up.

The phone boots up as normal and after the ANDROID boot a black screen appeared. I cannot do anything now.

My G1 is running stock Android 1.6. This phone is unrooted. Can you guys help me?

[addedon]April 28, 2010, 8:19 pm[/addedon]I tried to hard reset. Not working.

Pricing in CAD:
http://www.gsmarena.com/lg_gw620_goes_on_s...l-news-1237.php

Done converting, you get around RM1.2k.

That is, if this phone ever comes here.

I want this phone.
