My take on the apple / android "which is better " question.

It's basically the same as the macs vs pc's ... for people who aren't so techincally inclined, who doesnt want to tinker with their equiptment, who are satisfied with their stock equiptment, who are willing to pay a premium for something that runs as well as stated on the box, these people will b the die hard apple fans. They look onto the people who 'flash their phones' with horror.

The flip side to those people are the pc/android bunch. These guys want the extra bang for their buck; overclocking, flashing roms, hackintoshing .... everything to run a better, faster piece of equiptment for much less $$ than the previous bunch of people.

No use convincing either side the merits of each particular camp, all mainly die hard.

You guys know which camp you are in.

guys, the phone can last for the whole day at medium usage ? is it like stupid if i get the phone now ?

yeah, can last for a day. new phones are coming out and if budget isn't a prob, wait for those phones

Have you guys experience any problems with your Bluetooth? I don't have problem pairing my phone with mu Bluetooth headsets but I can seem to use my phone to effectively transfer files to other phones.

What do you guys have to say about this?

such as ?

Galaxy S 2, Motorola Atrix and many more dual core phones

gmhafiz.. really nice battery indicator? where can i find that one?

galaxy s 2 already out ? how much ?

not yet out!

haha then i must be kinda weird. i've been using Macbook for the past 3 years, but I've never really owned an iPhone myself (sharing with GF occasionally but technically not mine).

die also I won't use anything but Mac, but I'm quite happy tinkering with my SGS.

try lurk moar by googling..
try gsmarena.com, phonearena.com, engadget.com

Let me try to answer it. U get it if u flashed to insanity rom. Not sure to get it with normal themes.

Wan to ask...
How to update the papago maps?? Just download the latest papago maps from Malfree...But no idea how to update it on the phone.

i am sure most of you have tried the new web based android market, but just in case some havent ...

http://market.android.com/

Bloody cool to install stuff without touching the phone ...

This question has been answered many times... Its easy one. U copy the whole file (eg. MFM-PPG-110126C, not the folder; but all the files inside) and replace the files under sdcard/NaviSEA/Maps/MALAYSIA/ . It will override the old data.

do we have to on our wifi or data plan to make it works?

Yup. otherwise it would be impossible to download it!

Dear Sifus, I don't understand about the custom ROM. What does it mean by Themes??

1. Does it mean that the user interface of the custom ROM is different from the Official Samsung ROM?
2. What Should I use to back up my contacts, setting and apps for the first time I flashed to custom ROM?
3. What is a kernel? Does is mean I can change the kernel without changing/ flashing to the custom ROM?
4. I saw some posts that mention some of the ROM is having problem with lagginess, Wifi, GPS locking time, Notification bar, can't download from market place etc...... sound so scary. Can anyone clarify these??
5. Can I restore back to Samsung Original ROM if I'm not happy with the performance of the custom ROM or if I want to send in for warranty claim?
6. Noob question....What is a homemade jig?????

Sorry for so many noobs question. If it's too troublesome to reply all. I would really appreciate if provided a link.
Many thanks to all the sifus.

1. yes, that what theme means right? decoration and stuff, nothing to do with performance, unless of course the animation make you fell the phone faster and such. custom rom can change theme. if yo9u dont like the theme that come with it, you can change it. no sweat

2. contact the best is to sync with gmail, setting you cant save, apps most of us use titanium backup, and yes, all your game save and data usually will be backup as well, i recommend you to use the buy version of titanium if you can, one click to restore all the apps.

3. i dont know how to answer what is kernel. but yes, you can change kernel without having to change to custom rom

4. no worry about this stuff, it just bugs and such,if you dont feel satisfied with the custom rom, you can always change back to samsung official, this phone is easy to change rom/firmware, you can upgrade downgrade sideways front back easily. this phone follow you not you follow the phone.

5. nombor 4 answer half of it. if you want to send to warranty, ALWAYS ALWAYS change back to official, if not, they can make cases out of it, example: your volume button broken, they can say, that because you flash unofficial firmware, that make your volume button broken, this is not cover by warranty, this thing can happen, eventhough i havent heard any of it yet

6. erm... may i ask did you read post number 3 on the first page? cause if the explanation is not clear please tell me, i may change it for the better
