download mode is mainly for flashing firmware using Odin3.
it does not take so long..the screen will be remain like that until you reboot it
for example if u try to flash firmware,u need to go to download mode and then start flashing ur firmware using Odin3. after finish flashing, ti will automatically reboot ur phone..

in short, the screen is normal in download mode..hope u get what i mean

Anyone dare to take the risk to do this on their SGS??lets try and scratch/smash the SGS Gorilla Glass...korean style! ENJOY!

I saw a guy bring his SGS to lowyat for fixing before. that is because his SGS screen is cracked. Dunno how it happens but it does happens. So try anything not normal. Just treat it as a glass. that way it will be safer.

of course its breakable ..its even scratchable...like in the video where he use cutter to cut the screen i mean its still a glass screen..its just stronger
and its strong enough for daily routine damage. like slip out of hand or pocket..or mixing keys and coins in the same pocket....nothing extreme like cutting it

i seriously didnt know SGS use gorilla glass, i only know it is unscratchable. i tot only dell use Gorilla glass

it is indeed using gorilla glass like dell streak or even iphone 4 if not mistaken...

there is no unscratchable or scratch-proof screen for the phone..no matter what, it still will get scratch..
try drop ur phone at the sand area if u wan to test it but don cry later

just drag it on the gravel

I've read somewhere that SGS do indeed has glass screen. Just that, film makers still able to squeeze some quick cash out of us owners whom willing to pay a little extra just to protect the screen which we thought was fragile.

Like wise on a friend's iPhone4, which he spent RM79 for the screen protector.

The Korean video reminds me the days of iPhone3

Unfortunately, our home button is so prone to scratches.

It would be nice if they started the video recording prior to the dropping test.

motorola droid also gets Gorilla glass.

Any idea how much is this energiser and where to get it???

check this thread http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=1061381&hl=

at the moment im using the OCLF... better but still zzz.. else it would really kick my friends ip4 butt

how many apps do you guys install in general? my SGS was lagging as before. i uninstall all the stuff
from Singtel...like their animation and lots of apps that i couldnt use in MY...after that its Lag free..
overall i got around 50 apps...and lag free ...i dunno bout you guys...

I have 71apps. that is on top of the "stock" applications.. haha

How to remove those apps by singtel?

1) Make sure you have save your data (files, sms, contacts, etc.) properly backed up.
2) Press *#272*HHMM# (HHMM refers to the time on your device in 24hrs format when you entered this code).
3) Select XSP and click on the "Install" button.
4) Your phone will reboot & do a wipe on itself.
5) Enjoy your Galaxy S without SingTel's customizations.

if you still using 2.1 just use titanium backup to uninstall all the stock apps you dont want

better everything including singtel stupid animation... the ori SGS animation is way awesome! singtel destroyed it
