99% Buying the MS this weekend! rclxm9.gif

Just a few questions I have before I actually make the purchase.
1. For MS users who are using the Matte screen protector, I have read in the past replies that the Matte is not really sensitive. How do you guys find it? Worth buying?

2. Does a MS require a data plan? Would it be okay if I only used Wifi? Since my whole college is wifi, it would be pretty convenient. I have a limited budget and if it is possible, I wouldn't want to take up a data plan since the minimum is RM50 for Maxis and any extra usage would be charged a bomb! Wouldn't wanna risk it.

3. This would be my first smart phone and I was wondering is it user-friendly? I tried using the MS over the weekend and I was kinda a noob. blush.gif
Would it be easy to operate? I am on a semester break right now so I will have a few days to experiment with it. Good enough?

4. Any thing that I should know of before I purchase this phone? Anything that I should be prepared to face?

Please icon_question.gif! Want a few last opinions to convince me to get the Milestone!
Thanks! notworthy.gif

1. no issues at all. However, if you're using the epikcase clip on case, then there might be some difficulties. My set is naked now. And it is so much more slimmer now. laugh.gif

2. Depends on you. If you have wi-fi access most of the time in your life, then you can forgo the data plan. Those "smartphone without data plan thing" is plain bullshit. In the end, it depends on the user, where the user will be at most of the time and etc.

3. My first smart phone is the P1i and trust me, a smart phone from 3 years ago is so much nastier.

4. Some random bugs like alarm clock not functioning, sometimes the playlist wont close after you plugged out the headphones (have to lock screen > unlock screen > then press home then only will close) but everything is just pretty minor. Not much major problem. usually just restart the phone solves it all.

notworthy.gif Thanks!

I am planning to get the Capdase casing. Any idea whether it is any good?

I will most probably try having no data plan for a while and see how I will survive. I have never had a data plan ever, so I think I will survive. But most of the applications can function without any data plan right? Some would just need wifi am I right?

I have 3-4 days with the phone, I think I will be able to figure things out but I would most probably be posting questions here, please do aid the noob me when the time comes! icon_question.gif

rclxm9.gif I can't wait to get the phone.

What do you mean by getting started? Maybe you should start by configuring your email accounts? Sync your contacts to gmail and then sync to your MS. Get a screen protector. Get a cover. Charge the battery full..... tongue.gif (just kidding)
Must have apps depends on what you need. For instance, I sometimes communicate with people from around the world, so it is a good idea for me to have a world clock so that I don't wake people in the USA up at 3 a.m. in the morning to discuss about work.....
Do you already have the alarm bug? I had not had the alarm bug hit me yet, and I had been using the MS for about 2 weeks now.... Touch wood I won't get the bug. But I was rather annoyed with the "unplug the earphone and music player autostarts" bug, which I read so far cannot be cured unless the phone had been rooted and the music player removed.
Not much of a help, I think, but I guess that is all I can do, since I also just got the MS about 2 weeks ago....  sweat.gif

Thanks anyway! notworthy.gif

When I receive messages, it doesn't vibrate, is there something I can do about it? because sometimes I can't hear it in busy areas.

Hey people! Need some help again!

I am trying to use the MS without any data plan at the moment, only relying on Wifi. The problem is, I can't seem to download any apps from the Market through Wifi, my downloads will state that its starting and it would take ages and it never starts! The wifi port is just in my room.
Is it normal to wait quite long?
Or would I need a data plan to download apps?
Or can I download it to my computer and transfer it to my MS?

Another problem I am facing is my credit is being drained!
I am currently using:
Settings>Wireless & Networks>Mobile networks>Use only 2G networks
There is a icon with a letter 'G' at the top next to the battery.
Is that causing me to lose my credit?
What can i do to avoid losing credit? I wanna only use Wifi if possible.

Updating can settle the alarm bug? Just go to settings>about phone>system updates?

Please and thank you! notworthy.gif

no problem to use Wifi download software from market,

to disable connect internet through your mobile network, use APNDroid

I will try waiting a little longer for the download to start. Or just get the update first then download apps. I will have to be somewhere with Wifi first before I can do that.

Mine also has problem getting apps thru wifi but that probably caused by my messed up system. Normally factory reset will fix this kind of problem. Good thing android use memory card, makes recovery from factory reset or flashing a lot easier

I managed to update my MS already but still unable to download any apps! Its taking ages to start!
Factory reset? Do I need to backup anything before doing so?

I've had my MS for a week now but still unable to download any apps through wifi. Someone please help! cry.gif

Same thing happen to my HK set when I was at 2.31.  I only managed to update by manually flashing the sbf. U can use the South East Asia 2.36 or HK 2.34.3. I'm not sure wat are the differences between the two, but both versions definitely fix most of the MS bugs like alarm, random reboots etc.
Can't dl thru wifi but can surf net or not? MS has a bug in version 2.31 that can't surf net on certain routers although it show connected

Can surf the net. Finally managed to download the APNDroid after I canceled the download, then on and off my wifi and restarted again. Any way to permanently solve this problem?
