Just got my casing today from Zenus. Got the Orange + Black combo.

http://english.gmarket.co.kr/challenge/neo...er=zenus+galaxy

I'm very happy with the purchase and relieved at the same time now that my phone has a proper case.

Good points:
+ The quality is simply very good.
+ Everything fits perfectly and no loose ends. The phone is firmly held at its place.
+ Feels solid in my hands.
+ Does not add any considerable weight although everything now is slightly thicker. But I wouldn't mind for the extra protection it provides.
+ Material is top-grade. Even has the leather smell.
+ Does not intrude in anyway when unfold. You may just leave the front cover hanging or fold it all the way back.
+ Classy looks.
+ Front screen is protected by the cover which has soft material inside. An extra plus for me over the silicon case with the screen exposed.

Minor complaints:
- The seller I purchased from does not include screen protector and lanyard. I've read that some people got these when purchased from other sellers.
- There's some areas which are still exposed but not much. You can see the exposed areas through the pics from the link above.

Overall a good buy even though a tad expensive compared with other casing slowly coming out in the market but you get a quality case. If the seller had included the SP and the lanyard, then it would be quite a deal.

Hope this little feedback will help someone in making their decisions.

Gmarket is a pain to order coz everything is in Korean. Why not try in Ebay? If you have Paypal, then you can transact easily.

Dammit man, my phone today experienced the following:

Wifi cannot turn on, it keeps turning itself off.
Many wifi networks around but cannot detect any.
Mac address 'unavailable'

I read around and it says to factory reset.

I did that and it started working, but lost pretty much everything in my phone.
Now my wifi the signal quite weak.

Are you on stock Rom or did you flash any customer Rom or applied any fix?

It is mentioned to remove SIM and SD card before flashing any ROM.

Anyone tried flashing without removing these items?

Read somewhere that if it boots in Russian, you have to insert your Sim card and reboot the phone then everything will be back to normal.

Managed to flash to JM2. Configuring the phone now.

Just some tips.

1. Use 512 pit file.
2. If you have installed earlier rom with partition, next time flash no need partition. You only need to partition if you need to flash back using 513 pit file.
3. I've tried flashing with sd and sim card without problems.

eh .... hihihehe .. so what you think about this phone?

is it worth to get?? i cannot wait for Droid X anymore... cause i heard it might not even be released at latest also by end of the year...
Theres no more option on android phone adi .... so far the best also i9000 but i realy REALY REALY hate the UI and Design..

damn US people always get the best out of their lives.... they got more option than us... EVO 4G, Incredible, Droid X... even their Galaxy S look better than the GSM versions...
SO SAD!!!!! WHY!!!! WHY CANT WE HAVE MORE OPTIONS!!!

I think 4" screen phone is just nice. Anything above that will be too "unfriendly" to your pocket. And you'll worry more everytime you sit and bend down whether you'll break the phone. If you really need a new phone and especially Android, then look no further. This is the best phone out there. To me it looks sleek and the hardware alone beats any other offerings in the market right now. Also, I read that the Droid Rom is un-hackable which means less chances of having customized Roms.

I think what casper1 meant was we're interested in your setup to achieve this battery performance.

is there already any reversible/recovery method so can reclaim warranty?

Use odin to flash back to your default original rom.

Folks, those who installed JM2, do you have problems setting up the Google account to access market? I've tried for the past 2 days and still unable to setup the account. It keeps saying that cannot establish a reliable data connection to the server.

Nope. No such problem. Wait, did you create the Maxis APN? JM2 doesn't have it.

Do we need to set up the data connection? I thought we can still use the wifi to connect. When I was using JG5, there was no problems.

I've no problem whatsoever with my wifi connection. In fact I was connected using wifi but I just can't seem to setup/login the Google account needed to access the Market.

Seems like there are 2 versions of the ROM, JP1 and JP2...and the feedback is JP2 is more stable than JP1.
