Hello everyone, I just bought Galaxy 5 after months of review. It is awesome but the only thing is that the gps is confusing. Is it free with navigation without data plan? Advises will be very much appreciated.

QUOTE(StupidGuyPlayComp @ Oct 31 2010, 07:03 PM) Welcome to give inquiry for any apps require, we are ready to share it outAlso 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? |

Hi thanks to SGuyPlayComp,
Installed papago x5 but dont know how to use it. It keeps appearing in Kuala Lumpur (jln P ramlee area) but my place is in klang. The satelite dish at the top right keeps blinking. May I have any guidance here? Your help is very much appreciated. |

Hello everyone. Welcome to the club haha.
Anyone notice that the alarm clock will not auto turn on (after you off the phone) but alarm working only when you made the phone standby (meaning that you don't off the phone)? Anyone experience this? |

Look:
http://www.androidza.co.za/forum/showthrea...396-Winmail.dat This winmail.dat problem affects all non-microsoft platforms, even iPhone, Linux, etc. The solution seems to tbe to tell whoever sent you the file to re-send using plain-text e-mail format rather than HTML/Rich Text. See this for details: http://facstaff.gpc.edu/~jbenson/resource/winmail.htm PS: Maybe an Android app developer looking for a project can write a decoder for this winmail.dat And I tried send out email with attachments with plain text format and it works, I can fetch the attachments. Walaowei what if other people send e-mails to me with HTML/Rich text (which is very very common) habis la me. Damn.. Android still not mature yet. |
