I've applied the kernel, so far so good. This version is the one with 341Mb instead of 356Mb. It was mentioned that this version does not have the 3G and also HD recording problem. I've verified the video recording but did not test the 3G calling yet.

Will monitor and see. Nice to have more memory. I guess more applications can be opened without suffering from low memory.

#PS: No need to disable the lagfix to apply this kernel.

do you use the updated version of audio manager? the one i have the media volume ahs change name to music volume.. i just tested mine, i up to the fullest and shut it all down of the music volume, and the touch tone still the same level.

i dont have audio manager..

i test it again by mute the media volume and there is no touch tone..then i realised this problem only occur on swype..
i change to samsung keypad and i get back the touch tone according to system volume

guys, did u all realise that there have upgrade version fw through kies ??
stock fw

Just called maxis customer service to check on my data usage, but the answer i got is "WE R SORRY SIR, THERE'S NO WAY WE CAN CHECK THE DATA USAGE BECAUSE THE SYSTEM IS NOT ALLOWING US TO, U HAVE TO WAIT FOR YOUR BILL STATEMENT" ...... OMG!! is that true??? Guys, can someone tell me how accurate... or should say how inaccurate the data reading on 3g watchdog if to compare to maxis? quite worrying though..

Android officially passes the 100k apps mark

maybe swype make the app sound as music instead of system... my ultra keyboard seems no problem with system audio, but now i realized my widget locker unlock sound is not system tone. maybe also media tone



make me feel so proud to be in the android club

No. I have been connecting to KIES several times this afternoon. Instead of making us curious, show us the update. What version is it updating to?

My Eclair JG4 is 325MB as shown in the Samsung's Task Manager.

is he sure that its the FIRMWARE upgrade, not the kies software update

Swype is a rather "smart" keyboard.

For built-in apps, it will display a smiley icon ":-)" instead of carriage return "90-deg bent arrow". You just have to live with it, if you can't press enter. It's a discussed matter on the net and there isn't a fix to this so far.

If you are looking into entering carriage-return for SMS, you can either switch the input method (keyboard) or use 3rd party SMS application. Handcent SMS is a good start.

The only shortfall is access to database is slow on Voodoo. 1 example is my WhatsApp. Incoming/outgoing messages will jammed my phone for 1-2 seconds.

Hehe, for weird reason, I have 326MB.

Whichever update it is, I am not getting any today.

I think 3G watchdog is pretty accurate. Maxis has the tendency to screw up your data usage.
In my case, the first 3 days they say I used 235MB and they prorate my bandwidth limits to 3 days. Meaning 500MB limits prorate to 3 days is 16MB a day only. Imagine how much is that. 235MB over 16MB. The bill was over 1k. Thing is I never used 3G that much! Crazy Maxis.

And NO, you can ask for your bandwidth count. I called and immediately they gave me my details.

True, this is quite irritating.. does it happen in RFS?

On my phone, that happens even with OCLF, stock RFS and Voodoo. So far, it's been better with Universal lagfix.

I've just installed Voodoo JM9 to give it a try. Finally finished synching my contacts and link them up. Installed back the apps that I need and realised the pages shrink from 5 pages to 3 pages. I don't remember what I used.

Added on October 27, 2010, 2:27 amThis is the reason I abadoned OCLF. When someone is typing or when my whatsapp is transmitting, the phone stutters. When I shift back to RFS, surprisingly, it is better.

Yes it does. RyanZA of OCLF claimed that his lagfix would fix this issue which was caused by fsync call on file close. Due to the design of the NAND ROM on SGS, the fsync performance was really slow, hence his fix targeted on reducing the number of file close as well, which in turn reduces lag. The reason why Voodoo doesn't speeds up database write is because almost every apps are designed to execute file close, which in turns calls fsync (by the ROM's firmware) that has impact on performance.

That would be the explanations given by RyanZA, or somewhere along the line as I read from XDA.

Thanks, you've helped me a lot

guys..anyone using Darky's ROM...it's getting to irritate me more n more..first i got a FC while on call and sms..and then..suddenly i cannot go to recovery mode anymore...when i pressed the 3 button combo..my screen will go like corrupted screen for 1 second and then go to samsung boot logo...then it's repeated again and again..i tried for 20 times and somehow it stuck at boot screen...fear not..i'm not bricking my phone..just press power button and it will boot normally..sigh**..time to move on to other ROM..any suggestion guys?
