hi, i just bought 1 unit G5 for my wife rm670. after playing with it a while. feels its performance quit good & fast. only a problem still is the small screen & small resolution. i installed a apps but i can't see full in the screen (i can't use it cause the setting button is at bottom which the screen cannot view it), i think this apps work in minimum resolution of HVGA but not QVGA. but overall.... still value for money..... satisfied.

My G5 always disconnected my connection and got to restart before reconnect.. I also facing little problem only on WIFI but not as you describe, i din't get disconnect. What I face is when u din't off phone for long time you'll find it's very lag when u turn on wifi connection and can't connect at all, after that u cannot turn off wifi. You have to restart phone and it's working perfectly after that. Added on September 20, 2010, 11:12 amQUOTE(sjn hassan @ Sep 19 2010, 10:36 AM) anyone tried Papago on this phone yet?  I've try PAPAGO X5 also and working perfectly. Just in some small road not realy accurate. And anyone having GPS locking problem? Have to restart phon with GPS on then just can use.

I have no wifi issue as you mentioned. I think its a software problem This post has been edited by StupidGuyPlayComp: Sep 20 2010, 11:23 AM

I think its a software problem 1.I already try that but with no result also. Anyway once I get GPS lock i wont switch off GPS and phone already and till now still OK. 2.Mayb I install too many software until like this.
