New Smartfren Andromax U2 - review

I'm back.. using blogger application for android. It's much more easier now to update my blog. Hoho.
I've just bought a new android phone for 24 hour now. It's called Smartfren andromax U2. It's a smartphone produced by the operator smartfren and an improvement from andromax U.

As a cheap smartphone made in china, this is really worth something. The touch screen is great, sensitive and satisfying. It's quite easy to type with it. Each letter is separated really well so touching wrong letter is minimized.

With 1Gb of ram and quad core processor, it performs well and isn't slow. The internal storage is 4gb, allows you to download several good apps like games or socmed. It uses Android 4.1.2, not the newest but good enough. Differences from its predecessor are the quality of speaker, which already dolby digital plus, and the size of screen that slightly bigger.

My problem with this phone is the camera. With 8Mb back camera and 2Mb front camera, there shouldn't be a problem. But there is. The camera take photo slowly. You have to hold about 1-2 seconds until the photo's taken. It's a problem for me because what if i wanna take a selfie or fast moving event? Hold it for second(s) obviously disturbing. Other problem is that you can't turn off the shutter sound. (But I've found the solution for this problem. I'll explain it later below.)

Facebook Timeline

Excuse me for it's been more than a month since my last post. :'( Too long.. I get caught in the middle of studying, making felt craft, and recently teaching English.. Aarrgghh.. I need to be more productive somehow..

Anyway, I consider myself as a survivor in term of Facebook user. Why? Because I'm stick with my old Facebook layout until recently they forced every user to have Facebook Timeline.. T_T

I don't wanna change my profile into Timeline because it's so different and at first sight is complicated. I like the old layout better. In Timeline layout, there is a timeline in the middle and the posts were divided into two columns. This is why it's seems complicated, you have to look at two columns one after another.

So, I'm kinda surprised when my profile was changed automatically into Timeline layout. However, I should adapt. Soo, I make a cute Timeline cover. It consists of my self portraits every year since 2008 until now. I always want to make this since a long time ago, not in a Facebook cover, of course, but in another media, but I never had the time (and intention).

It's kinda narcist, I know, haha. But hey, you shouldn't restrict creativity.. :D

After spending several hours using Photoshop here is the final result.

Isn't it cute? haha. I bet you want to make the same one... :p

This cover consists of 5 photos and  I left the blank black spot on the left side because it will be filled with my profile picture. I put a photo every year which shows my hair transformation from short bob, longer bob, until long, from side bangs, asymmetric bangs, until front bangs.

Maybe you notice there are 2 photos from 2008. Actually I want to use a 2007 photo, but I didn't look good back then in photo, so instead I use another one of 2008.

I took the background from AddaCover.com, and here it is with different background.

Here how it's looks like with the profile picture attached:
