Hi, to be safe (although not 100%), you might want to consider installing application like apndroid to switch off all data connection when you don't intend to use 3G.

If not, even if you have unchecked the Enable background data or Auto Sync boxes, you will still incur data charges when you open most downloaded applications or games....you will realise this when you install 3G Watchdog to monitor your data usage....

Thanks, i learnt something new today

I'm using apndroid too.....but no need to reboot.....it works everytime i click or unclick....perhaps it could be the firmware?

I'm on JG4

I'm considering getting either the Steinheil Ultra Crystal or Steinheil Anti Fingerprint screen protector. Anyone has used them? Which is better?

Appreciate your feedback and advice.

Thanks

What about the Ultra Oleophobic ones?

Thank for advice....I'm thinking of getting the oleophobic now

Hi,

Anyone using the Case Mate Tough Series case for the SGS?
Rizal77?

I checked their website...they don't have one for SGS i9000. The one that looks the closest is SGS Vibrant. Is Vibrant the same as our SGS i9000 in Malaysia?

Thanks

Hi, is your discount offer still available? Please pm me...thanks

I just ordered the SGP Ultra SILKE Series Case and SGP Steinheil Ultra Oleophobic for my SGS....looking forward to it

Yup, no problem for me too...Facebook S works on my SGS

Just sharing my 2 cents worth....

Actually no phone is perfect. Even Iphone 4 has several problems including critical ones like antenna problem, etc.
Can you imagine...antenna problem for a phone is unforgiveable!!!
Besides their so called Facetime is not true video call because it can only be used over Wifi and not on 3G...a real handicap if you ask me...

Honestly, camera on phones are there for occasional use and it will never never be able to compare to a proper digital camera or DSLR. SGS camera is good enough for me..the picture is sharp and the HD video recording is fantastic for a phone....the video recording is even sharper and focus faster than my video recording function of my Nikon DSLR.

For me GPS on the phone is good to have but honestly, I will seldom use it for navigation on a daily basis. My car has a proper built-in GPS navigation or nowadays a proper Garmin GPS is just a few hundred RM.....unlikely we will use our SGS for navigation in the car on a daily basis coz it will probably drain a lot of battery.....

Android applications may be less than Iphone apps (for now) but the numbers are definately rising fast because it is an open platform....there are many free applications on the Market which is good enough for me at the moment...

Well, it depends what you are looking for in the phone....if you plan to use GPS daily with your phone or you need to take a lot of photos at night, then perhaps you might want to consider some other smart phones out there...

Happy hunting...shopping for phone is as fun as owning one

When I flashed my SGS to JG4, the task manager is already automatically installed. Only JF4 doesn't have it.

Just received my 1st month Maxis bill after getting SGS....fortunately I did not exceed the data limit...phew!....now going into 2nd month....using 3G Watchdog and Apndroid to monitor my data usage.....

I'm currently using Dr Web Anti Virus. It's a free download from the Market.

Anyone knows how to change the Reminder tone for Calendar events?

Thanks

What do you mean by top part exposed?

I just ordered the Steinheil Oleophobic SP. It only has a cut out for the speaker slot. The rest is covered. Check out their website for more info.

Yup, I also went to Samsung in Gardens to look for SGS and they politely told me to go to maxis.

Hi, can our SGS do RSS feeds? If yes, how? Do I need to get any software?

Is it possible to assign MP3 songs as ringtones without rooting my phone? Thanks. If can, how to do it?

btw, is there any website that I can download more ringtone for our Sgs? Thanks
