Just for sharing, there is a new app called Android Manager WIFI which can help you connect wirelessly to your PC and sync. Can sync with Outlook as well (Good for Kies hater ~ no offence, I don't like kies too). Can saves all your sms, and you can even send sms from your PC too. Can manage all your apps, files, musics, videos, etc.. But it is in BETA. I have tested it and everything works. So far so good.. You can find it in AppBrain.. Here is the link though:

Do you mean to use your Facebook contact's current photo as photo in your contact list?

Yes, press and hold on their name, select Default. Then you get to choose which name to use, either Facebook's name or Gmail Contact's name or other. If the 1 you selected doesn't has any photo in it, it will take the next adjacent account's photo. By selecting FB contact's name, you'll be using FB's photo instead.

As for setting your own photo onto your contact, you know the drill. Create a copy of the contact's name in your phone book, locally, set the photo and use it as Default name.

may i add some step that i think you miss...

first you must linked the contact to each of their facebook account, do that by long press and select linked, and choose the fb account.

if i'm going for froyo i'll go for UK version, i think UK version more or less the same as ours (except maybe language pack) since Malaysia always follow UK standard  tongue.gif

i accidently dropped my phone from table around my hip height (~1m)... scared during pickup the phone but relief to see nothing happened to him,=  sweat.gif

luckily the SGS is pretty robust, but don't want to do it anymore...

i'm using the MESH cases btw... bought from ebay.

Hi guys, haven't been keeping in touch with this thread. It's growing so fast.

Anyway, Maxis ran out of stock for almost 3 weeks now. I am so fed up. I'd be lucky to get a Maxis set before this thread becomes version 6. xD

So, I decided to just buy the phone instead la and gonna change to Digi (using maxis now).
I am going for 16GB Ori set.

May I know what are the basic things (and advance things) that I need to check before buying the phone eg. clarify it's ori set, make sure there's no faulty camera or wifi?

Who are the authorised distributor of original Samsung? Is it,  First Mobile Group (FMG)?
Ori samsung have any stickers behind?
How to check IMEI code?
Latest ori firmware is DXJG4 (sp.)?
Anything else?

Thanks everyone. Really hope you guys can tell me as this is going to be my first android. smile.gif smile.gif smile.gif

for piece of soul and mind here are CRITICAL/CRUCIAL/IMPORTANTEE tips

ask for a SEALED package, what ever they told you, e.g its new, open to check inside or what eva what eva, ask for a SEALED package, and let them open it infront of you to check the content. mine didnt come with software CD but i see some box got,

CHECK THE BOOTLOADER---> RECOVERY MODE AND DOWNLOAD MODE
there is a reason why i make it big big... cause it SUPER DUPER MOST IMPORTANT THING OF ALL, and most phone up to date have this disable. so check it to check it do this:

hold volume up+home button+power button.

do it sequence, volume up first, then home, and then the power button, this is for recovery

volume down + home + power ---> download mode

if you still confuse, watch youtube.

after check these important thing, try to haggle for a SP or pouch


to check for ori... well im not sure the EXACT way, but my lil sis galaxy 5 is ori and my SGS is AP, the ori phone have warranty sticker of samsung (sticker that they put on top of screw hole so they know if you ever open the phone up). they are under samsung service center. imei to check dial *#06# (make sure same as the box).

if you got no problem with recovery and download mode, you dont have to worry about the firmware, cause you can flash it yourself no worry

HOORAY! rclxm9.gif  Just got my SGS today from Maxis. Surprisingly, got stock already. rclxms.gif

Queued up for an hour, was so excited when I saw that SGS is available. Paid, signed and blah blah. Then, it's time to check the phone. The first unit was good. I would have happily walked out without knowing it didn't have a recovery mode if it wasn't for silentser's advice. tongue.gif

Really wanna thank silentser for the advice.
So, I asked for a second unit. The counter girl had to key in everything again but she smiled. So, signed again and checked the new unit. It was flawless.
I realised and I am not being biased, that the unit without recovery mode takes longer time to boot. The other one booted up in about 10 seconds plus.

Straight away bought capdase casing and SP. Now already installed about 20 apps using Maxis 3G.

The firmware is DXJG4. And yea, I have the GPS problem. Will try to figure it out tmr.

I have questions, how to transfer my contacts the easy way and sync all my contacts to facebook/myspace/twitter?
*
pat yourself on the back for remembering to check that.

and now.....*suspen music with a heavy breathing sound* choose your side..... the light side(all stock change nothing) or the dark side(root and etce tc..)......

Hi,

I'm currently unable to connect my SGS to PC (Win Vista). When I connect my phone to PC via USB cable, the status always show 'Initialising' and the screen keep on flipping. Previously working fine with Samsung Kies. This is the video clip showing my problem. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7L1gBhr7_dk).

Anyone facing this issue? Can anyone tell me how to solve this?
Thanks.
*
we used to face this kinda of issue, most of us solve it by formatting internal phone memory,

or you can try to update kies first before doing the formating

so it is advisable to wipe after flashing a new ROM rite? or wipe before flash? based on my previous experience with windows mobile, we usually hard reset after we flash a rom.
*
i dont see any difference of the end product here, if you just going to wipe after the flash rom, why not do it before you flash,it clear out anything that may interfere (exclude lagfix as they dont get wipe), then wipe it again after you flash.

I think supercurio is indeed working for samsung. He works his ass night and day without much rest. Doesn't he, like, have other things to do?
*
how you know he work night and day?
if he work for samsung, isnt it make much more sense for samsung just to implement the ext4 into the phone and boost the sale much much more hinger cause it removed the news of lagginess once and for all.

if we all support him by donating he doesnt have to do other things, working on this will be the only job he he to do,
