QUOTE(hihihehe @ Jul 18 2010, 02:47 PM) yes,u can install any .apk files sorry i'm very new on android, from omnia previously... mean i should do this and all my program should stay as i do the following (from http://forum.samdroid.net/f49/superuser-su...7-2010-a-1355/)yes,u can root without changing firmware.. ur data will be there if u root it with recovery method but if u using Odin method,ur data will be gone but is safe to backup all ur data before do something else i will try update the 1st post later when i have time..feel free to post a guide/useful instruction so i can update it at front page thx  1. Download: update.zip 2. Put update.zip to SD card 3. Enter Code: adb reboot recovery 4. In Recovery menu select 'apply sdcard:update.zip' (use vol_down + home) Phone will reboot and you have 1. su+Superuser 2. busybox (/system/xbin/busybox) After doing this, the programs and data in the phone will stay and the only change is it is rooted, correct?? Thanks alot for your help. |

anyone has MediaByPath or similar software so that i could create mp3 playlist on the phone itself... e.g. play a particular folder only as i dont want every music files on phone being played. i know the .nomedia way, but that doesn't help me a lot.

QUOTE(derrickmoo @ Jul 26 2010, 09:18 PM) Just to share something with you guys about the Battery issue.. bro, the post will only be very meaningful if u could share what u have doneI have finally tested how far can this device go... It has been unplugged for 21 hours from now... my batts is still left 51%. With 50+ calls.. and around 30-40 sms and auto sync gmail on... So with this small experiment.. i think that this device batts is kinda lasting... If compare the iphone i used last time.. it should be flat/dead if i have unplugged 21 hours..  Cheers Guys and Gals! |

QUOTE(hihihehe @ Jul 29 2010, 03:38 PM) no problem with my battery..i can easily last for 2 days turning on or off APN doesn't really made a huge different, just like one has 30% vs. 10% left end of day. display is set to minimum brightness, not more than 30min calls and a few SMS. on stock rooted firmware...and i think u guys better configure properly ur settings rather than blame the battery... any helps? |

QUOTE(fongwei @ Aug 5 2010, 01:24 PM) For your information..... this argument is not correct. 3G or 2G, the amount of data u used will be exactly the same, just the matter of speed.If you are just surf net using 2G network only, 500MB is enough..... But please keep in mind, do not switch 3G network. cause once u change it to 3G , it will running fast..... 10MB in 5 mins........ u just calculate yourself......... 500MB is enough for everything in 2G network such as browsing internet, twitter, facebook, ebuddy, msn and etc..... But if you plan to tethering with the SGS to your PC? u need higher probably 3G (just RM78) ........... the different for 1.5GB (RM68) and 3GB (RM78) is just RM10........ so just think for 500MB or 3GB...... best of luck.... do not become silly guy let Maxis charge u like hell like if u load a video from youtube, 3G allows u to load faster than 2G and of coz the amount of data u use will be exactly the same count on MB wise. |

quick update after flashing to JG4 from Kies, the batt seem much better life, compared to JF4.
for those having batt issue, just turn off APN, turn on only necessary Added on August 10, 2010, 10:49 pmbtw, i sent a nasty email to samsung support regarding the suck kies issue, and they called me the next day. he claimed no such case happen and will feedback to software team. i hope everyone do the same to give them pressure and get out of denial mode. i did that in samsung website direct This post has been edited by casper1: Aug 10 2010, 10:49 PM |
