Whoopyberry — Fri, 24 May 2013 23:46:02 +0800

Hello everyone,
I'm having a problem with my secondary computer. My graphic card driver (Intel HD2000 - Intel Pentium G860), it always stop responding whenever I put a little pressure on it such as resize Windows Media Player when movie is running and running games.

I already updated to the latest driver by Intel, but still the same

I'm running Windows 8 X64, 8GB of DDR3, Intel Pentium G860 and Intel 520 SSD 240GB.

(WTA) Huawei Ascend P1

Hi everyone,
I wanna ask regarding Huawei Ascend P1 smartphone..

Since its my first time to try Huawei smartphone, I wanna take this time to ask regarding pros and cons of this phone.

Is this phone good performer compare to i9100G?
The only reason why I change to P1 from i9100G is battery life.

I mainly use smartphone for taking landscape photos, music and mostly standby in pocket.
It turns of galaxy S2's battery likes to work out rather than standby.

Is Huawei ascend good in photography? As it has back illuminated sensor and wider apature compared to Galaxy S2.. (2.4f vs 2.65f) it also has dual flash compared to one.

I don't play game, so I don't mind getting the same GPU which is SGX540.

What about battery life? I really appreciate your answers and feedbacks.
The only smartphone that satisfied my battery test is Apple iPhone 4 and Apple iPhone 4S. iPhone 4 was the best smartphone in term of battery life for me. But I really wanna move to Android.

LCD Problem

Hi people,

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post such thread, but it seems right.

A few days ago, I have noticed my LCD TV colour is reddish and no longer display accurate colours as before.
It's been 4-5 years since I bought it. Never dropped nor splashed with water.

I'm not sure what is happening here, but you can judge by photos I uploaded here.
Sorry for bad quality though, low light condition.

What is the problem? What causes it to happen? Is it fixable? How much will it cost to repair?
I know, buy a new LED TV is a better idea, but I just want to know why it happened and how much will it cost to fix it.

Thank you very much.

[WTA] Aftermarket Batteries

Hello everyone,

I'm currently using Samsung Galaxy S2, GT-i9100G to be exact.
I'm currently quite disappointed with original battery given by Samsung.

I've been searching for aftermarket batteries for weeks.
Many choices of batteries, but I narrow my opinion according to the best ones.

Scud BlueDream battery (1650 mah) vs Sun Global battery (1850mah)

Which one is better? It seems like scud battery offers the same capacity as original S2 battery.
But, I've seen few good feedback from customers.

I'm not a heavy user, most of the time my phone is on standby mode, without any data plan turned on unless I need them.
