take iOS for example, we can enable or disable the 3g which mean if we don't need 3g connectivity (eat up the battery consumption) then we disable the 3g will only EDGE connection. So how to do it in Android?
*
is under setting > wireless > mobile network> network mode ..inside got GSM or WCDMA u can select or auto mode.. or u can dl the app in 'market' also..

Select GSM mode and it will never goes to 3G only Edge/GPRS.
As for me I will always wants it to be at maximum coverage ; battery life is not so crucial for me
Hico : What app specifically are you referring to
*
2G-3G onff, Show and switch 2G/3G.. Status Bar 2G-3G also seems nice

benny, which backup program can back up data like sms, bookmark and the application installed? isit selectable which one to backup b4 start to backup? is titanium the best backup app?

Just got my first bill (digi smartplan). It surprises me because its only RM63 (minus RM5 from RM69 becaused of auto billing)+ 5% tax although I made a few phone call and several sms. The detailed listing show that unlimited internet cost is just RM53 and the calls and sms is another RM10. I thought smart plan doesn't include calls/sms charges in the RM63/month.
*
are u subscribing the smartplan only or bundle with the tab??

i know what he is asking. I am sorry we cannot discuss this issue of getting paid apps for free here.
Gettibg paid apps for free is analogous to piracy /warez.
Please google elsewhere for answers

guess they have the insider news of the upcoming SGT 2 and thus ditching SGT for now? But it's somehow too soon to ditch SGT before SGT2 releasing date is yet to be confirmed right?

Nevertheless, for me, I'm happy with my SGT right now... as long as it gets to Honeycomb, official or unofficial, I guess I will just stick to my current Tab instead of going for SGT 2.

PSP2 (Codename: NGP) is on my wishlist of this year by the way. smile.gif

yeah me too.. looking at the road map for the processor if thats true, within 1 yr there will be so much upgrade and replacement.. think gonna wait a bit.. or else the wallet will dry up too fast and outdated so soon.. blush.gif better wait a bit..

thats a wise choice. just keep both. haha..
best of both worlds. but i bet u will be bring out gtab more than ipad.

GUYS..

theres something i dont understand.
Ive watch those videos on youtube bout how tough the Gorilla glass is...
But in the end i still have a scratch on my gtab.
Its just in and out of my pocket daily.. no keys..no coins..nothing possible that could scratch it.
wtf right...

conclusion: even a Gorilla has its soft side.

i believe theres some elements that can scratch the gorilla glass which they havent figure out.
keys, hammer, pointy things..those are the things they tested on.

maybe temperature? sweat? grease? that weakens it?

maybe...maybe...
*
i have heard a lot of ppl commented that sand can scratch the gorilla glass..

*dual-core Tegra processor instead of an Exynos or Qualcomm CPU* - is the tegra the best processor compare to other dual core?

sad Galaxy Tab II exterior is so poor
if SGT score 10 points i guess SGT2 is only 5 points
cheap look border frame make it even worse compare to ipad

http://www.engadget.com/photos/samsung-gal...mpared/#3874895

i guess the only chance if i ever choose tab2 over xoom is tab2 still have GSM phone module within
*
agree with u... xoom looks much more attractive compare the exterior look blush.gif

Its 10" sreeen is too big for me since I also used my Tab as phone. On the bright side, our Tab is still the best 7" tablet in the market even after Tab 2 released. laugh.gif .

yeah..if tab got honeycomb..then it can still last for sometime since it is s till the best 7" tablet.. rclxms.gif
