need little help here....i juz bought the g5 model....i wanna use the GPS...i already installed the papago..and i can open evryting the application..but the problem is...when i open the map..then the icon of satellite showed the question mark...then it cannot detect my current position...how to activate the "satellite"? can any1 help me...plz...

If you're indoor, try going outdoor?

is there any 1st step to activate the GPS? any through the setting? and let say if it found the satellite, what type the icon will show?

Yes, I felt the screen really small........the worst point
Regarding internal memory, actually I not confirm what the actual size of the ROM, using the system info and show total ROM of 184MB ( i not sure whether it include the OS)

but once it upgrade to 2.2, it can install into SD card, not the issue anymore

for the RAM, the level control by OS automatic, most of the time is 6x - 9x free RAM, this level is normal for many device. I dint feel lag

Added on September 26, 2010, 8:22 amMy setting,
Setting - Location & Security Setting - Use Wireless Network (keep tick)
Setting - Location & Security Setting - Use GPS Satellite (keep tick)

Setting - Wireless & Network - Mobile Networks - Enable always on mobile (tick or untick is up to you, I untick)

Indoor, you can use google maps with wifi, lock in few second, but location not accurate
indoor without wifi, I not even success, this machine sux in indoor locking
Outdoor, usually lock within a minute depend the surrounding building (Driving in car also can)

If the "Satellite and Question" mark icon blinking at Papago, meaning its still searching satellite, yet to lock
Once it lock, Papago will sound to inform you, and icon disappear

Hey people, a new Galaxy 5 user on board here.

Did face a few problems after playing around with it......!
1. Papago took too long to lock in position..... about 30-45 mins, place on the car dashboard.

2. The screen would sometimes blank out.... restart by taking out the battery

3. The contact would not sync with my Outlook via Kies but Calendar can....

@tutiger i have not face any problem you've mentioned. i just got my phone as well. hehe

My papago dint encounter the problem you mentioned, not necessary place on dashboard also can lock in fast

About contact sync, I have no ideal, dint try before

Is it really that small? What about other uses here, do you find it too small?

How about typing sms, how does it feel?

This one is depend on your own, you can view the physical machine or view the demo on youtube

better u go play2 at HP shop to see either u can manage u accept the screen size or not

Yeap, will do so one day.
Btw, the layout of the pages of apps, can be changed right?

I like the layout on the HTC Wildfire tho.

Hows the screen quality compared to wildfire?

Yes, you can change the layout.........

Screen quality is much better than wildfire
3D performance is much better than wildfire

Galaxy 5 comes with Swype.

Yeah, stock Galaxy 5 included swype and tutorial as well, but I still not manage to pro there, sad

i jus bought the stylus..but seems it cant be use with this phone

Galaxy 5 using capacitive touch screen, cant use stylus............

All the new phone now day changed to capacitive screen from resistive screen (resistive screen use stylus)

capacitive touch screen much better, like the Iphone using
