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.

Based on this thread and the previous Galaxy Tab thread, I have recorded  79 users using the Tab. I was really surprised. I was guess estimating perhaps around 30 only !!
So it is indeed quite a popular choice.
Today is my 11th day using it and learning new things, loving it every day.

I think we could arrange a meetup makan-minum TC session one of these days , maybe on a weekend after CNY to share. Those interested in such an event, please indicate your interest
I have been attending Apple MacFest, Palmers and Windows Mobile meetup but yet to meetup with any Androiders

Yesterday I spent the whole night till 1am trying to stream video (mkv) to my Tab from my PC over wi-fi. The standard allshare are quite useless. Tried several media servers (ps3 media server, twonky, WMP11, tversity) but none works flawlessly. Each got different problem (not responding, unsupported format, no subtitles, not smooth etc.).

Right now I use ES File Explorer. Quite OK except video cannot fast forward/seek. Need to watch from the start...

Anyone manage to stream video (mkv) please share your methods.

Good news to all gamers on Valentine's day ; should you be playing games on your TAB this day or ???

Excerpt from AndroidandMe ( edited) : Starting 12 Feb till February 15th, all Gameloft HD titles for Android are 60% off. This means you can now download some of the best games that Android has to offer for only $1.99, but you will have to do so through Gameloft’s web store.

If this is your first time purchasing a game from Gameloft, we have a few tips to share. The easiest way to complete a purchase is by visiting Gameloft.com on your Android phone. It will provide a list of games that are optimized for your device. If no games are listed for your device, you can also trick their web store to send you a download link by selecting a comparable phone on their desktop site

Gameloft updated their policy to allow you to re-download the games you purchase, but they are still limited to the original device that you installed them on. Some users have reported that Gameloft allowed them to transfer their purchased game library to a new device, but you might have to contact customer service for that to occur.

Isn't it cheaper to buy from gameloft using telco? Usual price is RM6 per game. Anyway, although HD games are cool to have, its not really fun to play (atleast for me) compared to angry birds, gun and glory kinda game.

This is the best guide to the Galaxy Tab roms :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=807

tutorials are usually briefly listed in some of the roms = browse around - get a feel first ; don't jump straight in. Of course if you kena drown, can always call for help here -many of us willl be most willing to guide you
You can also refer to my blog for guidelines where I also summarized the steps:

Flashing a new rom:
http://leemn.wordpress.com/2011/01/25/gala...rotohammer-jme/

Upgrade file system to EXT4 and upgrade to ext4 based rom
http://leemn.wordpress.com/2011/01/27/gala...daco-rom-beta1/

You might need to patch your bootloader first to unsigned it : Refer here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=888071

I'm really interested om the EXT4 system. Just need some confirmation:
1) mine is My set, will the steps to flashed it the same with the one in your blog? (since yours is europe set)
2) my internal SD is almost full. do I need to bought an external SD 1st to create space for file conversion?
3) will all my contact/apps still intact?

TQ in advance.

Added on February 15, 2011, 11:26 amSpiroth : Just out of curiosity how come your internal SD card is nearly full ??? What type and how many  apps you have been installing ??? The internal SD ( 16 GB)  has up to 13 GB of space to install apps/data > I use only 3 GB so far and I have about 100 apps installed

Looks like you need to force install apps to external micro SD to have more space.

Actually, most of the space are used to stored my media (mostly video clips, MTV and manga) which can easily copied out during the process. laugh.gif BTW, my gameloft HD games already used about 1.2G... tongue.gif

This is strange. Most Gameloft HD games ( additional data ) are downloaded to external micro SD card - there should be a gameloft folder created in the external microSD with the additional data downloaded. Some games example Dungeon Defender create another folder DunDef in the external card ( about 700 MB data )

BTW I maintain all my video/audio files on the external microSD as I don't see any major difference having it in the internal SD ; I tested a 2GB mp4 movie file in the internal SD - didn't notice any difference in terms of loading speed and viewing performance

I don't have ext SD card... laugh.gif
