Thank you for the IQ9 review.

I didn't notice any difference in the camera and the specs are the same.

As you said only the screen is bigger but the resolution 720x1280 is the same as IQX so the result is not as good on IQ9, but still acceptable.

Has the IQ9 been launched after the IQX as a reliable :-) seller told me ?

I think the IQX will be cheaper very soon because the price difference with IQ9 is not enough for many to justify buying IQX.

Yes, the IQ 9 was released later.

A bigger screen size isn't always better. I looked at a friends Note 2 but felt it was just too big as a phone and to fit in my pocket comfortably. Some people will prefer the smaller IQ X(A)

IMO Phablets like the IQ9 and NOTE2 are niche market but certainly have value.

Comparing them to a similar/exual spec Smartphone is slightly unfair simply because of the size. Some like and need it others will consider it just too big.

@Familyonthemove - thanks for taking the time to post your 'real life' review it makes interesting reading.

How much is the IQ 9 selling for as of now?

I know the imobile shop at Central Cheang Wattana is selling the IQ X/XA at a discount at 9k+ bahts...with a 16gb sd card+ free 500 bahts imobile sim card as well...

If you need more spamce use LINK2SD

 

Very good and easy, it will use your SD CARD as partition.

It's not just a usual MOVE TO SD CARD, it is a lot better.

I tried to use this app, but it says you have to have root access. How do I get root access on my IQ6 phone?

LINK2SD +1

 

Amazing app considering it doesnt need root.

I just checked in the apps store... It says it needs root access.

Thanks for the correction.

I have used it on my tablet but not the IQX. As far as I know there is no easy way to root the IQX other than dropping in a new CWM ROM....

Quick update on X v 9 .....

The IQ9 has better battery life as after a normal day still had half charge whereas the IQX was flat at end of day.

But its still a bit of a porker compared to the X.

Check out these two threads on XDA.

I finally got the driver to install using AdbDriverInstaller but even then I couldn't get adb to recognize the device so I never actually got to try the rooting method in the first thread.

It would be great if someone could give it a try.

Seeing as this thread is live I thought I would update here.

Just had a call from the wife they are finally selling cases for the IQX in Bangkok. The first is 250THB the second green one 350THB will confirm exactly where later but would expect them to be in all the normal major outlets.

Sorry, but so ugly case for a so nice phone ? And it's so cheap, ok to buy a new one when it dies !

Anybody has information about IQX battery model to find spare ?

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder as with all things. If you can post pictures/prices of 'prettier' cases I am sure the people following this thread would be very grateful of your positive contribution.

Have you tried an iMobile shop for the battery would be a good start.

Been a bit pi$$ed at the battery performance so went Goggling for some answers.

I knew having WiFi and 3G open eats away but didn’t realise just how much. Turns out WiFi drains around 100mA's and 3G anything from 10mA's to 30mA's depending on the signal strength. Last night for a test I closed but data connections and in 9 hours my battery only dropped from 4% from 76% to 72% .

So it seems if you aint using it close it!

I have also configured the GPS to download the predicted path in an attempt to speed up locking now with good viz it will lock in under 60 seconds.

There are plenty of apps available that will target functions draining your battery, but if you don't need connectivity overnight then one quick fix is to hold down the power button and select Airplane mode.

Does anyone have a suggestion for a app to control start up programs that does not require root?

Maybe try 'ram booster' just be sure to white list the mediatek thermal app.

Ah the iMobile master is in town!

Cheers mate I will give it a go its so annoying having thngs like Facebook that I never use auto loading. I would normally use ES Task Manager but obviously it needs root.

Oh BTW you were right about using Three when in the UK.

EDIT - Do you have the PLAY link only I cant find one that also uses MTK??
