Hotmail push mail configuration on Android: http://mengsuan.blogspot.com/2011/02/andro...-push-mail.html

By default, Email app polls manually for new email. Manual polling is slow and inefficient for your batteries. This guide is good for those using Hotmail and wants true push notifications. I discovered this only yesterday and I think it's worth to share.

Guys, unless it's a xenon flash( and some xenon flashes on phones arent that good, more of a battery drainer) , it's not much of a use la. Youre pics will look much saturated, or blue in colour, and the camera is good enough in adequate lighting la. If dark lighting even using a DSLR would be tough. Even if flash is available in the galaxy S it would be up to a very very limited distance, which renders the flash useless(which applies to most camera phones).

And don't cry over spilled milk (in terms of UI smoothness) Just install a kernel and everything works fine, you ARE buying an android, not an iOS (imo which is an app launcher, nothing else.)

I see no reason to shoot any photo in the dark where you can't see what is there. Dude, are you a professional photographer? What DSLR do you use? I see no problem ppl shooting in the dark with DSLR at all.

iOS an apps launcher? But it's good enough to have so many ppl to write nice apps if compared with Android. And I don't see Android is more than just an apps launcher as well. May be someone can enlighten me?

Well I'm just stating that you don't have to sulk over things that happened ie: you've bought the phone. The need to call Samsung stupid isn't necessary,as they're the ones who brought you the Galaxy S, the SuperAMOLED.

You should've known that flash isn't available and if it is much of a deal then don't get it . There are other proprietary gadgets for the sole purpose, and I believe, though adequate, the Galaxy S is more of a phone than a camera. Yes I know it'd be more complete with the flash, but I might say, we may not get the super slim body of the Galaxy S that we currently hold. The camera works well, and in low lightings there's bound to be noise, flash may,may not eliminate that, we won't know for sure. But I believe there is more to just omitting the flash on purpose.

For the iOS comment, I apologize to those who are disheartened, but to clarify; your homescreen is your menu, hence the app launcher. In Android you'd have a customizable homescreen, push apps here there anywhere, and an extensive operating system. In comparison the apple leaves you with scrolling of the menus, hence the smoothness. There isn't much else for the processing unit to compute, til late which apple comes up with the multitasking.

I am entering the second month of using my Galaxy S, and to what I've known , it met and shoots well above of my expectations in which I came from a windows mobile platform, in which at first I thought was the complete phone ( I had a Samsung Omnia i900). I have yet to root the phone, nor install a custom ROM, the usability of Touchwiz 3.0 caters to my needs.

Heh strayed off here, I'll just end this here.

use this instead...

Sgs 2 looks a bit laggy from the hands on review

yesh... got my casing from jason this afternoon...

THanks jason for helping me apply my screen protector...

luckily i sticked those rubber strips on right after jason applied the screen protector...

Added on February 15, 2011, 3:55 pm@fornx how is the SGP ultra silke like??? does it feel like a silicone case which is hard to put into pockets?

@jason i tried to remove the top layer of the screen protector but nothing came off other than the whole screen protector itself, u sure there's another layer?

Hi, when I bought my Ultra Slider case from exportprive.com, the ultra crystal screen protector DOESN'T  have the protective layer to peel off....might be the same in your case.

However, when I buy the Ultra Oleophobic SP last time, the protective layer is blue in colour and has a little sticker protruding out so it was very easy to peel off....

Just tried. Not sure why it's not able to play .divx format.

3000mA will need a new battery cover I think. Will make phone very fat.

Anyone know which maxis centre still have galaxy s in stock?

anyone here using rom manager...can give the feedback about this apps?...rate is 5 star tho' in market

1. Led flash is very useful, but xenon flash is better. But cannot compare to a normal compact camera for quality. To me, phone camera is useful for quick snapshots, qr code, goggles, augmented reality.

2. Good, can get better quality for video conferencing. Though not critical.

3. With optimized kernel, 512ram seems enough. Linux is famed for its low hardware requirement because it is very efficient. (unlike crappy windows). My netbook running on fully functional arch linux only consumes 57MB ram. I will be disappointed if future android requires more ram to run. However, 1GB ram is very useful for gaming.

5.i believe so. The atrix will only have 1080p recording after a firmware update.

6. Dual core =  less battery consumption. Coupled together with higher battery capacity, will give longer battery life. Really nice.

Don't forget about near field communication too.

to me, battery life and faster processor is what I'd like. The rest are gimmicks especially I don't do those casual gaming on a phone.

While dual core speed bump on a phone is nice, it will give much more impact on a tablet. I wanted to see a miniature desktop core2duo performance on a tablet where I can run not only android, but conventional linux like ubuntu as well. I imagine running lampp server, play football manager, civilization, etc on a tablet if I can run those on a phone, that'd be superb!

sgs is fine for my needs. Sgs2 is better in every way but it doesn't do enough to justify for an upgrade. YMMV.

for those thinking of buying a smartphone for the first time, you won't regret buying those dual core ones like sgs2.

Yes. But unused ram is a wasted ram. It'd make no difference if ram is bumped to 4gb if a lot of them goes unused.

You can have a beautiful functional ubuntu linux desktop for under 512ram. My netbook takes 57MB ram only. If android needs more, it speaks inefficiency (like windows). IMO, the 1gb ram is needed to play high end 3d games. One day if I decide I wanted to play 3d games, it'd be a minimum of 1gb ram with a core2duo level of performance - can use hdmi cable to play on tv. Right now, this phone suffices for me. Different people will have different needs.
