QUOTE(Quantum_thinking @ Dec 25 2010, 10:55 PM) Have you tried to reply lowyat posts when on a long journey bus? Nope, I drove all the time. But I suspect it would be a bit difficult to type/swipe when inside something that is moving.

QUOTE(basSist @ Dec 26 2010, 12:23 AM) installed KIES, but when i started the program. ERROR. " The program can't start because MSVCR_CLR0400.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem." already reinstalled for 2 nd time... still the same. anyone encounter this problem? Nope. I also can upgrade my firmware using Kies. I didn't use the supplied Kies CD, instead I download it from the web. BTW, manage to get Papago running nicely. There is actually an option to change the language. Really fast lock on my position. Haven't try navigating yet.

QUOTE(keeplwk @ Dec 26 2010, 12:28 PM) Im unable to get the menu button aligned to the edge of the screen, although the map is shown in full screen...any idea? No idea. imo garmin interface is much easier to understand and use. QUOTE(basSist @ Dec 26 2010, 12:43 PM) now my kies startup solved already by placing the missing .dll file into the folder of kies. but another problem, when i connected the galaxy tab via cable usb, it shows driver unsuccessfully installed (MTP USB DEVICE). guys, any idea? I think I also got that error.

QUOTE(de_lasoul @ Dec 26 2010, 05:51 PM) I just got my tab, wondering should I get the screen protector as I have feel the screen protector might affect the touch sensitivity. Any comment? Is the screen of the SGT scratch proof similar to iPad? Its scratch proof (gorilla glass), but its a finger print magnet. Another problem is its also quite reflective. I'm ordering a screen protector and will make a review when its fitted.

QUOTE(daruma @ Dec 27 2010, 09:19 AM) prooven NOT scratch proof in some youtube videos. get sp which is clear type. my one with anti thumb blur the screen what's new & improved? IMO, its resistant enough for 'normal' usage/abuse.  But if you plan to scratch in on tarmac, or use drill bit on it, then  Added on December 27, 2010, 9:53 amBTW, no harm putting a screen protector as it relatively cheap compared to the Tab, as long as it doesn't effect the touch sensitivity.

QUOTE(koj @ Dec 28 2010, 09:31 AM) PAPAGO? I thought it doesn't work well with Galaxy Tab. Do you have this problem? WHat version you are using and appreciate if you can send me the link. Maps works fullscreen but the menu didn't, so its like floating across the map. Function wise, no problem but Garmin interface is better/easier. Download map/data from galaxy 5 dropbox (read the 1st post of Galaxy 5 thread on how to get access). Then you have to rename some folder (forgot which and what the new name). Fate that download the APK from papago website (use the version for tab, x5) and install. Good luck.

QUOTE(sleepwalker @ Dec 28 2010, 02:17 PM) Then what's the point of all the scary 'please backup before you upgrade' messages that keeps popping up before we update the firmware? Just to scare little kids?  Just a precaution if s**t happen maybe..

QUOTE(adamking @ Dec 28 2010, 06:01 PM) SMS app driving me crazy. The SMS came in and display a different name rather than the correct ones. There is once I reply to wrong person because of this, damn embarrassing. If there is an anonymous SMS, cant see the phone number and wants to reply also cannot... geramnya.  Tot the new firmware will fix this but it is still happens... aiyoh Samsung or Google fault ???  Mine working fine. BTW, already receive the package. Really loving the casing when using the Tab as photo while charging.
