New G5 user reporting in  biggrin.gif Was actually following this thread for awhile, i think u guys convinced me with the positive reviews..was comparing this to Xperia X8. The 1.6 OS with no news of future update put me off from getting it.

Got the phone 2 days ago from the Samsung mobile shop in Tesco Kota D'sara.. RM665 + screen protector. Funny thing is, i got a 2gb Sandisk sd card.. did u guys get a Samsung brand one? My SD card Adapter is samsung, but the card is sandisk  rclxub.gif Not rly an issue though, planning to get a 8gb soon.

So far im pretty satisfied with the phone! Im new to smartphones, took me about a day to get used to the touchscreen and the whole android interface  blush.gif

IMHO Sandisk better than Samsung SD Crad............but not much different

Yeah, I got Sandisk 2GB MicroSD too with Samsung card adapter.
It's Class 2 IINM.

EDIT: How to determine that card's class?
*
sweat.gif How you know is class2?
class2 card is slow, outdated speed

Its SImple,
Class2 = minimum speed 2MB/s
Class4 = minimum speed 4MB/s
.
.
.
Class10 = minimum speed 10MB/s

Samsung Galaxy 5 (I5503) Root / Unroot Guide

3. Press "Go Root" (take few second)

4. Showing - "Wow! your device is rooted!"
user posted image

5. Rooting Done (A apps call "Superuser Permission" is installed)
user posted image


Unroot
1. Run "Universal Androot", choose "Undo Root" (few second wait)

2. Unroot Done
Showing - "Unroot! You become a slave if this evil devie"
user posted image

Why I unroot and uninstall "Universal Androot" (even factory reset) but the SuperPemission still here? doh.gif

user posted image

Here the method to remove SuperPermission.apk

1. Download this RootManager 1.9.5

2. Choose Remove System Apps, select to remove SuperPermission.apk
(It need root authorize to run "Root Manager" so you advise to remove SuperPermission before uninstall
"Universal Androot")


Added on November 20, 2010, 11:04 am smile.gif For those has problem on "Clock" setting (Time inaccurate)
Setting - Date & Time - Automatic (Untick)
Setting - Date & Time - Select Time Zone - Kuala Lumpur +8.00
Setting - Date & Time - Set Date
Setting - Date & Time - Set Time

Follow above setting then you kill the "Clock" also does not matter, but alarm will not work

hmm.gif Actually rooted on G5 has not benefit much.........thats why I remain unroot now laugh.gif

Once rooted,
you can uninstall Stock apps............but highly not recommend
Use wifi thetering (i not test whether it support or not)
Use CPU clocking apps like SetCPU (not recommend, OC is risky)

laugh.gif any others?

Waa just come back from a horrible horrible service center.

As you might know, I got locked out from the phone. The only way to repair this is to flash the phone.

So i sent to the nearest Samsung mobile service center, which actually a Samsung hand-phone shop at mines shopping complex, owned by ocean Eleven company. I have experience very very good service from Samsung actually before this. When my Samsung monitor got broken, the service was really good.

BUT WHAT A FRUSTRATED SURPRISE I GET FROM THIS SHOP.

First they said they can repair my hand-phone in a hour a half, but the will charge me a freaking RM 60. They said this is not covered by warranty. Even thought I bought my g5 from this same shop and no longer than 2 month!!.

Now I only got a handphone, and i need this handphone to do work. So r I really need it fast. So I kinda relief when they said I can get it fix after and a hour or so. So I lepak around the mines, doing nothing much. After a sometimes i when to the shop again, and said it still not ready. So I go around again the mines shopping center again. After more than 2 hours of waiting. I go back to the store and they said my handphone is still not ready. They said I have to give half a day to fix it. So I agree to pick up last night.

I didn't go last night, but this morning. And you know what when i go to the shop again this morning. They need 3 hours more, a promised 1 and half hour cervice now become more than a day.

So you guys can imagine how frustrating I am now with this shop!!. By the way this is the same shop that sell to me a g5 with out giving me my samsung 2gig memory card at RM650!!!

So for you guys out there who want to buy a handphone. especially g5, I urge you to not but from this store. Samsung mobile store at mines shopping center owned by ocean eleven at the 4th and 3rd level. You have been warn about this shop really bad service

In my mind, i think this shop has wrecked my phone in their trying to fix this my phone, that why they need more time.

Last time my phone cannot go into android I go to Samsung Service Center at Melaka, and they din charge me to flash the phone, it only takes 15minutes to do that.
