Hi everybody, i am about to receive my first android phone(MS!!-a singapore unit comes with eclair)

As I read through many reviews and all the thread (for 100++ pages @.@), here are some of my doubts.

1) Root
Is this the one that made us like admin in computer to be able to access all the thing in MS?

2) Flash Rom
This can only be done if we rooted our phone? IF my phone is singapore unit, my room will be in singapore rom and i can only receive the update via Singapore?

3) Installing Apps
If i do not plan to root my phone (at least <1 year), will the memory not enough for moderate users?

4) Internet Access
Did there any apps that only enable MS to use only wifi but not others like gprs? I can easily gain access to wifi, so do not need gprs or others to drain my money.

6) Hidden Process
Apps in MS seem continue to be in process even we exist. So, the solution is to download the TaskKiller to kill every process?

7) Backup
Is it recommended to backup the whole system before we install any program? The backup program i heard is Nandroid, is it right? If phone went wrong, then just backup will be okay?

8) Flash
I heard flash player is not supported by the browser, so we have to open youtube apps to watch video everytime? What if the video is not from youtube?!

9) Bugssss!!!
-MS alarm is not functioning well? Is this bug affect every phone? Is it expected to be fixed in the release of froyo(will ms even be updated with froyo!!?)

-I heard the camera quality is really not good even compare to a 3.2mp phone? Will it be fixed?

-The music will play itself after we unplug our earphone?

-I heard there are cases of auto-reboot, is this happen only if we install new apps? What is a factory-reset mean? Is it reset to the state i bought my phone which mean will delete the update too?

Last but not least, what is the basic knowledge should one knows about this phone?

Tq, but for the part of wifi access, i still dont really understand. Is that you mean that the phone will ask whether which ways to connect to internet everytime i need internet access and then i just choose wifi?

Erm, i am downloading apps from market. the apps will be downloaded to sd card or phone memory?
Btw, how to uninstall apps? And how to access my memory card...
If installing went wrong, can just factory reset? If yes, how to do a factory reset?

Try using the volume control to zoom. If cannot then use a different app, for example Pro Zoom Camera.

Btw, I can only send mms to myself. Cannot receive from others sad.gif using digi too...


Added on June 12, 2010, 2:25 amIve also tested both motonav n gmaps (brut) today, while riding my bike. Using earphone and depend solely on the voice navigation. Both performed very well indeed and i managed to reach my destinations. Motonav does not say the road name but gmaps does. Just imagine a mat saleh reading roadsigns in malay.

Using motonav i start from puchong to jalan kg pandan, deliberately miss some junctions to see how it recalculates the routes, seems working good and fast, i get the next direction in just a few seconds.

From jln kg pandan i set for crown regency hotel using gmaps. The voice lady struggles to pronounce the road names so u have to listen carefully or turn up the volume a bit. I still managed to reach the place.

Motonav does not require internet but setting the destination is quite tricky becos the keypad will only allow you to type names that exist in the stored maps. It took me quite some time to find the address or places that i wanna go. As for gmaps, searching for location is easy. Just select my location then directions then set where u wanna go. The downside is of course u need active internet connection.

Another thing is u cannot lock the phone to use them, it always need to be the foreground app, so if using gmaps and u want to travel quite far, the phone might be dead before u actually reach your destination. Oh, and if u get a phone call in the middle of navigating, the app will auto continue which is nice when your phone is in the pocket biggrin.gif

Mine if press volume up/down is really volume up and down.. not zooming. IS mine somekind of defect?
