Guys, has anyone got the URL to the local sales thread for the Momax 2700mAh battery for our SGS? I checked on the Momax site and the price for the batt kit is HKD328. Am looking for cheaper options before plonking down money for online purchase (http://shop.momax.net)..

I didn't know that Foursquare app can also post photos to Facebook!! Can it???

Normally when I check in with pic or photo, the picture stays in Foursquare and doesn't go into my Twitter or Facebook accounts...!!!

Must check this out.. I will try later, thanks, buddy..

This thread is moving like rocket again now that 2.3.2 rom is out.. I nearly did not see your response above.

I'm probably gonna direct order from momax.net - I have potentially 4 units to buy (4 x SGS users in my office) so will contact momax to ask about discounted pricing..

Ha ha.. I don't miss the Asian firmwares one bit..

Simply Galaxy ROM 2.3 SweetHoney is nice! Feels a little snappier than Darky 9.3. I like the blueish theme after weeks of staring at green (Darky) and then black (Sconcau)..

Also, my colleague tried the leaked Gingerbread JV1 firmware - too buggy for daily use, especially when it comes to 3rd party apps and games..

I definitely find it very quick, speedier than Darky 9.3 and Doc's Kitchen ROMs too. Not too sure about the ginger keyboard since I'm a paid user of Smart Keyboard pro. Am loving this ROM presently..

Nope. Its based on js5 firmware. Everything very black and blue.

I really like smart keyboard pro. Very easy to use and word prediction is superb. Worth every penny I spent on it. I like it even more than the gingerbread stock keyboard..

I installed the wipe version so there was nothing to be worried about. After that, I just batch restored my 'uninstalled apps and all system data' with titanium backup..

Paid app. Need to root and marketaccess to emulate US sim to find it and buy it.

Dunno la, probably your imei gets changed and your paid apps tied to imei stop working?

My only complaint about the sgs is poor battery life.. web browsing on the phone, barring the smaller screen, is a better experience for me than on my ipad.

I rarely use the phone for web browsing on WIFI because having WIFI around means I am either at the office or at home where I have computers to use, so I'll tell you my experience on 3G/HSDPA. While web browsing, you will literally be able to see the battery meter going down, probably 1% drop every 3-5 minutes if I remember correctly.

Am thinking to buy a third-party battery pack now, a 2700mAh batt to replace the original 1500mAh batt.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so people say. I am sticking with Simply Galaxy aka SweetHoney for now, even flashed the Gingerbread modem package (JVE) onto it (SweetHoney comes with JPE modem, I believe). Happy for now, until I order my 2700mAh batt, then I should be happier..

I already have my iPad so will likely not consider the iPad2. BTW, guys and gals, as of today, the iPad prices have dropped RM300-400 on the Malaysian Apple Store. Anyone interested? My RM2599 iPad 64GB+3g+wifi is now RM2199 ha ha - that's the price we techies pay for chasing technology..

Also a bit scared of the Xoom - Motorola is known for f*cking up their devices' bootloaders. Will wait and see what Samsung have up their sleeves for Honeycomb tablets..

Update : Have also contacted mikecmy via SMS - waiting for his next response on his pricing for bulk order. If nothing firmed up with him by tonight, I will directly buy from momax.net.

That's nice to know. However I think Samsung's devices are better Android devices out of the box for me. Things like native AVI/MKV playback and easy-to-tinker software components (e.g. rooting, changing kernels, changing modem packs etc) are very nice to have..

No la. Planning to buy extended battery from there..

One of the JV1 downloads had 3 files (PDA, Modem, CSC) so I flashed the JVE modem using Odin. Seems to be pretty good, GPS and 3G/HSDPA connection-wise, but I think it is a bit more battery draining than JPY. My batt went down to 26% at 3pm today (from 100% at 7am).

Will probably go back to JPE, the one recommended by the SweetHoney builder.

I never bothered to do these steps. Phone still working fine.
