Dear all SGS,

I'm very new to android world (coming from WM6.5, HTC HD) and have learned a lot from this forum (treat V1 & V2). I would like thanks ppl like hihihehe, alfredtwl etc for providing so many info on SGS.

I plan to buy SGS this week and would like to ask few question;

1) When android 2.2 (Froyo) is out, if Samsung does not official upgrade SGS to android 2.2, can we just download and install Froyo ourself (maybe Touchwiz3.0 may be over written, correct me if I'm wrong)?

2) understand that before we can install custom ROM to android, we need to root the os, for Modoca R2, is it we no need to root the OS as the rooting is built into the custom ROM?

3) If i use ADB to root, I understand all the step except step 3 'Enter Code adb reboot recovery', where do I type in the 'adb reboot recovery'?

Thanks in advance,

Cheers,

Danny

Thanks buddy.

Dear all,

Just bought SGS at KLCC I-Center. Now need to start to learn Android OS (my first Samsung phone and Andorid OS)

Cheers,

Danny

I also confuse, the promoter told me 18 months but when I asked again during the registration, the customer service said 12 months.

Dear All,

I'm very new to Android and Samsung. Few question;

1) How do I exit the program, is it press Home key, the program will exit? And is it true if I press back key, the program still running back gorund?
2) How do I see a list of program running back ground?
3) How do I go to Android market? When click on the Market icon and it ask me "set up google account'. Is it I need to setup account before going to Android Market?
4) I down load Kies and it seems that I cannot connect to my Samsung, anything I need to do?

Sorry, maybe the above is noob question.

Cheers,

Danny

Guys,

Just drop by Maxis I-Center (meeting somewher there) and learn a few tricks from the samsung promoter.

When i ask how do i disable the charging when I plug in the USB to PC, he said cannot, huh!!!!! Is it rue?

I still having trouble to download stuff from PC to Samsung (using USB).
Any sifu can help? I cannot see the Samsung drive as one of the storage.

Cheers,

Danny

Thanks, now when I plug in the usb to PC, it will prompt out to ask for select.

When i choose mass storage, it will charge my phone and when I go to explorer, it show drive 'F' and 'G' but
when click on the 'F' or 'G' drive, message "Please insert Dirve into Drive F'.

When I choose samsung kies and run the Kies apps, it is not connected.
Why Andoid so difficult one, Window Mobile more easy le, hahahahaha

Cheers,

Danny

Thank you blurjoey

Now I can see the connect to the drive. So happy we have so many sifu here to help. Ok, once I'm expert in Android, will

One more thing, how do I disable the usb charging? Eventhough I choose mass storage, it still charge.

Danny

Hi All,

Where do I copy the ringtone from PC to Samsung?
I try to create in sd/media/audio/ringtone and copy ringtones (wav) but
when i go to assign, i cant see the ringtone that I just copy from PC to Samsung.

Cheers,

Danny

Ok, thanks buddy.

Dear All,

After playing with my new toy for 2 days, I can said that I love this SGS
more and more each day.

Can someone help to answer the below;

1) I managed to create email (exchange outook). is there a way to remove the above tab(inbox, folder, draft, outbook, send, trash etc..) as I only need to have inbox and send.

2) I try to download Samsung PC Studio and Samsung PC suit but both did not work (not able to connect). Do anyone have link for me to download both apps (maybe I download non android apps)?

Cheers,

Danny

Hi All,

I try searching for Samsung PC Studio but there are few version of it.

What is the different between PC Studio 3 and PC studio 7.?
Which one is for SGS? Anyone have the url?

Cheers,

Danny

Yeah, just found out that as of now, SGS only has Kies. For PC Studio or PC Suite, it is not compatible with SGS.
And even with Kies, we need to download the correct version for SGS.

BTW, what the different between Kies, PC Studio and PC Suite?

Dear All,

Today I managed to use Kies for the first time. So dissapointed with Kies, nothing much it can do and the only feature
that I like is, it can edit contact and save the contact to PC and download back to mobile.

I thought we can send sms via Kies ( from PC) but it only can view.

I like to send SMS via laptop. Anyone know any apps that can use to send SMS via PC (when we connect our SGS to PC)?

Cheers,

Danny

Hi all,

Normally how you guys upload ringtone from PC to SGS?

Thanks.

Hi jujx,

I downloaded and installed to SGS, how do I configure it to work using usb?

When I click on the Remote SMS, it show messsage as below

'USB connection (via adb) port:8080
See FAQ on our homepage for usage of adb"

I try to google for the user guide but not able to find it.

Can you kind enough to guide me?

Thanks in advance.

regards,

Danny

Thanks jujx, I found the FAQ and guess what, even thought I'm in IT, I found it very complicated to
use remoteSMS via USB, OMG, either I'm stupid or android is very tought to learn, hahahaha.

Even thought there is a step by step guide, I do not know how to install SDK, just imagine that, guess I'm
not goood enough in android.

I still prefer Window Mobile, easy to sync with PC, no problem copy file/song etc from PC to mobile and vice versa.

I give up, now trying google to look for other tools (ie. PC Suit, PC Studio etc....)

Hi MYstombox,

I just installed kies today, i only know how to use the contact feature. Still do not know how to copy files from
PC to SGS.

Guess I'm a slow learner.
