I'm using MarketAccess app to set my SIM to T-Mobile US emulation. Bought a few apps already from the Market using Google Checkout account which directly charges my Mastercard.

yup safer to put credit card information through your pc than through your phone. just login to Google Checkout & use your gmail account to login. within the market apps you cannot select Malaysia in the country field.

I found a really weird quirk today, and I never realised this was actually a problem with the android menu.

If you find the vibration too weak, go to setting "sound and display", adjust the "Vibration for touch feedback" to a value you like. This not only controls haptic feedback vibration, but also notification vibration.

I turned haptic feedback on, tweaked the value, and turned haptic off again. And the value stayed.

Nice i nfo bro, now I can set it lighter

new SGS user reporting in!!!
anyone knows wats the best screen protector fot tis phone?

yeah i notice some of the newbies ask the same old questions which can be annoying but i guess its our duty to tell them everything is in the 1st page.

askar perang n loh sell clear n matte SP.. Pm them..

im using meebo instead of ebuddy, didnt like the android version of ebuddy but was previously using symbian version of ebuddy, there is a summary on battery usage on the phone : Settings --> About phone --> Battery use, though it does not pin point which apps uses the battery but it gives a rough idea. im sure there are apps in the market to monitor this

I did use the setting -> about phone -> battery use, and it gave me those values I pointed out.

im using a black wallpaper, i think its a conventional knowledge that black background uses less power and speeds things up....could be a psychological thing though

WTA - If updated firmware using Odin, cannot use Kies to update firmware?

My Kies can't detect and update to I9000DXJG4 as I have I9000ZSJF7

You need DXJF4 and sales code to XME to be able to do kies update.

Can update to I9000DXJG4 via Odin and where is to get the sales code to XME? And what to do next in order to update in Kies?

some guidelines to prolong li-ion batteries :

1) Avoid frequent full discharges because this puts additional strain on the battery. Several partial discharges with frequent recharges are better for lithium-ion than one deep one. Recharging a partially charged lithium-ion does not cause harm because there is no memory. (In this respect, lithium-ion differs from nickel-based batteries.) Short battery life in a device is mainly cause by heat rather than charge / discharge patterns.

2) Batteries with fuel gauge should be calibrated by applying a deliberate full discharge once every 30 charges. Running the pack down in the equipment does this. If ignored, the fuel gauge will become increasingly less accurate and in some cases cut off the device prematurely.

3) Keep the lithium-ion battery cool. Avoid a hot car. For prolonged storage, keep the battery at a 40% charge level.

4) Avoid purchasing spare lithium-ion batteries for later use. Observe manufacturing dates. Do not buy old stock, even if sold at clearance prices.

5) If you have a spare lithium-ion battery, use one to the fullest and keep the other cool by placing it in the refrigerator. Do not freeze the battery. For best results, store the battery at 40% state-of-charge.

hope this helps, still trying to understand the nature of li-ion batteries but of course the control of a battery also depends on the settings in the firmware, so later firmwares should by right give better battery management on the device

wah... 124 page liao... v3 coming ??

Somewhere earlier there is a link to DXJG4 and that one is for Odin.

Sales code you search in this tread also there is info, keyword search HHMM.

If you want to update via kies, flash to DXJF4, change sales code to XME and then connect to kies and check for firmware update.

we wan JH5 samsung malaysia!!! faster la!!! Hahahah

Thanks mystompbox.

Saw the sales code is XME after I updated to I9000DXJG4 (Kies firmware backup from Singtel). Will try Kies later after restore.
