Just sold my Iphone 4 from Digi yesterday for a good profit & bought this as a temporary device until the WP 7 becomes stable & cheaper. So my cost for this phone only RM250!! Will root it later as I left the USB cable @home. Any idea if this will work? http://www.kokeytechnology.com/mobile-phon...galaxy-s-i9000/SuperOneClick v1.5: a Free Universal Android Root Software App for Samsung Epic 4G, HTC Evo 4G, Galaxy S i9000 This post has been edited by adamw: Oct 30 2010, 09:39 AM |

QUOTE(StupidGuyPlayComp @ Oct 30 2010, 07:10 PM)  Welcome, rooted meaning you obtained the admin level of your phone, you able to modify the system files. you only be able to take screen shoot, change CPU frequency, re-flashing firmware, uninstall stock apps, etc after rooted Root will void warranty and bring unstable to the system, not recommend tonewbies the best and only gps is Papago
Added on October 30, 2010, 7:11 pm Use 3rd party SMS apps, "Handcent SMS", everyone using it Bro, it'll be good if you can recommend some essential APS for us newbies & put it on the first post since you are the expert.  TIA |

QUOTE(StupidGuyPlayComp @ Oct 30 2010, 10:50 PM)  So far the apps i using are Handcent sms, papago, ATK, facebook, barcode scanner, Tubemate, Android System Info, QQ Handwriting, GPS Test, GPS Booster, ColorDict, RockPLayer, 天天动听, Astro File Manager, Applanet, Android Master. The must have apps are highlighted................ Thanks bro, just install Handcent SMS but it shows as 160/160 on my rooted device. Normally on my WM there's no limit. Is there anwyay to set it to unlimited SMS storage subject to your SD card memory availability? Also, notice that when I goto My files still only shows the SD card location, thought can view the main memory etc.? TIA for your help. This post has been edited by adamw: Oct 30 2010, 11:30 PM |

QUOTE(jfan8ds @ Oct 31 2010, 08:21 PM) Thanks SGuyPlayComp. This thread is real good same as the phone. After months of research, this is the phone! Also to share with all of you, Samsung Malaysia could not confirm whether it can be updated with 2.2 (this is by e-mail) and I have called them where one of the customer service officers said it can be updated to 2.2 so I am not sure who is giving the right answer but lets hope it can be update. Any of you afraid that after 2.2 update, the phone will start having problems? Yes, for this price even without 2.2 this Android is the best value for your money. Recommended for those who want to test out the Android without burning a hole in your pocket. |

QUOTE(Clerks @ Nov 1 2010, 09:45 AM) Disable notification for Messaging. You can reset default by going to Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > Handcent SMS. I still cannot set my handcent as default? under application management, handcent it's written there no default set. |

QUOTE(r3ivax @ Nov 2 2010, 04:07 PM) the easiest way is open any sms from Messaging, then there will be a popup for you to choose Messaging or Handcent, underneath there is a checkbox to use as default... so make sure that checkbox is checked when you select Handcent. Then, handcent will set as default. after you have set handcent as default, you have to disable notification from Messaging Settings, else you'll receive notification from both of the apps. Cannot seems to find this menu "disable notification from Messaging Settings"? Under Applications? |
