ha ha, i like this...

....stock firmware IS the dark side....rooted phone with new firmware is the light side

so far, mine is okay. No squeaky sound at all...i guess it depends from unit to unit and how you handle your phone or how many times you open and close the back cover....

I agree. There is no perfect phone. Instead of asking why the glass is half empty, why not appreciate it as half full? To me, the good thing about the SGS is the open android platform where we can modify n customise our phone to our liking.
There are solutions to lags, so no issue.
As for Gps, my SGS on stock Jg4 has no problem locking on within 10 secs.
Just have to spend more time setting up the phone.

Just my 2 cents worth

I have been using Tw launcher n Launcher pro plus. Today itchy finger go n download ADW launcher.

I used Shootme to do a screen capture. After I have taken a picture, I realised that the sensor is still running at the background.

I checked Battery History under *#*#4636#*#* and it shows that the sensor usage is still running.\

Anyone knows how to stop the sensor after I use Shootme program?

Thanks

Thanks, I will try it

I'm impressed with your work on the home screen.
You are very creative I must say. How much time u spent on it?

How do u hide the Label text after u inserted the Desktop Visualizer widget.
Eg, after I inserted the Calender image, another calender label text appear below. Hope u know what I mean.

Got it...thanks

Hi freakfingers12, following your footstep I did my home screen like this.
Still refining it. Not perfect yet. Just sharing with u guys the power of android platform which is so customisable compared to other phone OS.

I used to have the same problem. I'm with Maxis btw.

I dialled *100#, go to Internet settings, go into Phone Settings, go into Phone Settings again, then confirm your phone is SGS, and then you will have the following settings option:

Wap + MMS
WAP
MMS Internet
etc

I downloaded them trial and error, not sure which is the correct one....after a while, I realised I can receive MMS already. So I just leave it and don't want to play with the settings again....

I have been using 3G Watchdog for the past 2 months.

Both months, my maxis bill shows the data usage to be very similar to my 3G watchdog...hence I'm satisfied with 3G Watchdog and do not have to fear of being overcharged.

Anyway most people kena from maxis is during the first month purchase because they pro rate your usage limit based on your maxis billing date. From 2 nd month onwards it should be okay...

Hi guys, need some help here. I've been trying to find a tv out cable but unsuccessful so far.
Can someone advise me the actual name or model of the cable?
Which shop in Klang Valley area can I buy?

Where does the cable connect to our Sgs, 3.5 mm jack or mini usb port?
As for the plasma tv, which port to use?

Thanks

Thanks so much for your help. I'll go to Nokia shop to look for it

No, it's not normal.
Today my phone battery is 55% after 1 day and 10 hours.
I'm on Dxjg4, rooted (of course)

Hi,

I believe many of you have moved from Eclair to Froyo (leaked versions), right?

I read somewhere that Titanium Backup cannot work in Froyo, so which backup application would you recommend to backup data before flashing to Froyo...

My fingers are very itchy to flash to Froyo already...currently still on DXJG4...

Thanks

Hi kmrdeva and Chaooz,

Thanks for the advice.


I noticed that there is a Titanium Backup folder created in the Internal SD card.

Do I need to copy this folder out to my external SD card before I flash.


If not, after I flash to new firmware, will this folder be gone together will all the apps including Titanium Backup?

Thanks

Hi guys,

I'm have been reading the first page to understand a bit more about Firmware and ROMs. Still learning about Android OS.

From what I understand, firmware consists of:
a) ROM (pda)
b) Modem (phone)
c) CSC

If we want to flash new firmware, we need the new firmware file consisting the 3 items above, using ODIN and Download mode method, right?


Now, recently I have been reading about Darky's ROM, MIUI Rom etc.....does it mean that I can just change the ROM part without changing the firmware?

Example, I'm on DXJG4 firmware now. Can I just install MIUI Rom only? Will it work?

And the way to install just the ROM is to rename the ROM file as update.zip, put it in Internal SD card and then do the 3 button recovey mode to apply the update.zip?

Am I right?

Thanks
