Personally I don't feel that this phone is anywhere near slow to begin with, it It is already fast.but this method just made it faster

lol, i already flash my singtel set to European firmware on second day of purchase. Really can't tahan singtel logo and their rubbish apps. In fact, i did this to my previous N97 singtel's set as well.

then sign up and terminate right away lo... RM 1.7k+ RM500, still cheaper than retail

the i9000 IDLE battery life is phenomenal imo. At least for me, it only drain about 1% battery every 1 hour constantly (from 100% -> 80% takes 20hrs, the battery scale is pretty linear so far, i've tried dropping 50% to 40% and it still takes about 10 hours so the 1% for 1 hour rule is pretty accurate. then i can't tahan and start playing with the phone liao..hahahah!). That means if i leave my phone idle all the way, it will last 100 hour or slightly longer than 4 days. Much longer than my 2.5-3days on N97.

However if i start using apps that drains battery like MSN/Market/Web browsing, the battery consumption rate increase from 1% per hour to about 10-15% per hour. Meaning it'll last about 6-7 hours of continuous torture. This is about the same as my N97. Nothing outstanding here. I have no idea know how GSMArena set can last so long under moderate usage. If fact, no one else other that GSMArena that managed to reproduce the result.

Hey i just realized something, i can't find a way to use my own senheisser headset to make call and use the handset mic to talk (i.e : use earphone to listen and talk to the phone). the voice simply wont output to the headset. need to use the samsung original handsfree kit only can?

can somebody else confirm this?

no landscape for me to, in both homescreen and apps.

Swype is fixed in Modaco custom rom r2 will try it out now. and guys, sorry i won't be uploading his ROM anymore, i don't think it's fair for the creator. If you truly support his work, please donate it personally to get early access to his ROM. Otherwise you can wait a little bit before the public pre-bake version is out. Eventually you will still get them

My sennnheiser earphone works fine, but only for music listening. can't use to make call aka as handsfree.

Nope, but u need to flash to the firmware required. Then apply the ROM. The ROM will root the phone for u

The internal SD is fine, just place the Modaco ROM to your root directory after flashing to the new firmware

Hey guys, i just realized that even though officially the phone has support for Flash Lite 4. It's not enabled by default in the browser. So, we can't see any flash content. To enable it, you must do it manually by first running the browser, click the option softkey -> More -> Settings -> Enable Plug-ins

Then only you can see flash content that are supported.

The my location is actually google latitude and it can determine your location based on your wireless/mobile line signal (GSM) or sattelite, or both..depending on which you enable. Satellite is very battery consuming and sometimes slow. But the GSM mode is very power saving yet fast but at a cost of accuracy. Mine is quite accurate though. I disabled sattelite, only enable the wireless mode.

I will say again for the second time, there's a lowyat forumer selling EVERYTHING directly from ZAGG US (Invisible shield product) at a whopping 30% discount of what you see in their official website inclusive of postage all the way from US to your doorstep. The GS bulk is proceeding very quickly because it's very hot a the moement. Only take 1-2 weeks to reach your home.

1 day once, just like every other phone. I surf net/MSN about 3-4 hours daily. If no net browsing, just for occasional call and sms probably can last 2-3days. It has a especially bad battery consumption when HSDPA is being used. Weird.

my backup pro, not sure if it's free or not..maybe partially

9 hours already since my last charge, battery show 85% left. Did some few calls and occasional SMS in between. Not too bad for me.
Did u use live wallpaper? Because it will consume more battery, not to say a lot more...but it's quite noticeable.

The charger is only rated at 0.75A, and the battery is 1500mA or 1.5A. So theoritically, you will need 2 hours to charge from zero to full. But of course, it's not 100% efficiency, so it will always take more than that.
USB is only capable of 0.5A. So to get zero to full, you will need 3 hours ++.

As opposed to Nokia "Fast-charger" at 1.2A. I'm tempted to use it for my Galaxy S. LOL! Dunno can or not.
