Wow to love to hear that , maybe i would flash to that firmware letter, I just falshed my firmware recently, so a little lazy to do it again now. hihi

Hi everybody.

A newbie here. Just bought G5 a week ago and really loving it.

One suggestion, is there a way to split this thread into several topics? It's quite a work to go through all 129 pages on the Version 1 Official thread and now 32 pages on version 2. I might miss a very good and important link/tutorial/advice.

Just bought G5 yesterday.. very new to android and smartphone..
anyone can guide me how to install GPS? papago maybe??

welcome.. there is no split topic on this thread..
no choice but to go thru all the pages like what i did last time..

Ayyark !!!
Mati la gua...

hi..finally, i managed to get my gps working..very happy liao becoz gps never lock before..but, it's very power hungry if using gps..

but today, i found minor bug regarding built in sensors..it's not properly calibrate especially the accelerometer and compass..

some pictures included(software used is 'phone tester'):




so, hope u guys can help me how to calibrated those sensors?
btw, my g5 is still virgin(not root yet)..tried using bubble software to calibrate but it seemed it's only calibrate for the software not the sensor.

tq

dun think we can calibrate those sensors ourself..
if nt mistaken, the compass direction is based on the gps ...

have anyone deleted their stock apps? I've managed to remove Browser.apk to SD Card using Root Explorer. Releasing a couple byte of memory on the G5.

Do anyone have a list of 'unusable' stock apps that should be deleted/removed?

i might be wrong... maybe some other expert here will know better on these...

Heyy...some guy at xda-developer just managed to installes apps on SD card.

check it out > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread...990#post9517990

1 stupid question, where do you type commands like :

cd /system/sd/app
chown system.system *
chmod 644 *

?? on your G5 or PC?

to calibrate ur compass, u wave it around in a 8 figure.. If you dont know what i mean, here is a youtube link on how to do it..

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sP3d00Hr14o

First open your compass, then you press the menu button, then it will say calibrate,
once the popup shows, u do what the guy in the video do, and u should feel a vibrate.. That means that your compass is calibrated.

(u can do the calibration without opening the calibration menu, but you wont feel a vibrate..)

If your phone keeps on saying that abnormal field detected, and requires you to calibrate every time u turn on the compass, then what you do is
1. Calibrate the compass,
2. restart your device..

Hope this helps.

same here...
izzit coz of the player or our G5 cannot support?

have some problem on my gf's galaxy 5.

her slide lock screen disappear. restart/reset battery won't solve the problem. she only need to press the physical button to unlock the screen without slide lock screen.

anyone got any idea to bring back to slide lock screen?

Check 1st post. Ts made the list of things or apps with post number.just refer it. Most in v1

What is firmware? And why do u need to root the phone? Sorry
im not that techie.

firmware is something like the OS of the phone...
normally ppl root to gain super user access to the phone.. benefit wise, we can delete system app/etc..
for now, rooting doesn't serve much purpose other than enable us to install other region firmware..

Added on December 1, 2010, 8:25 pmif there is nothin important on the phone, why don't you perform hard reset?
it will clear everything back to factory default.. cons is, u hv to reinstall all the app/etc..
