You can reinstall by downloading .apk

You may try the megaupload link as well.

As my experience tells, the widget is usable but has given me occasional force close on entire TWLauncher, especially if the data connection disconnected while refreshing. When that happens, do an uninstall and reinstall.

Our latest is DXJPE since 1 month ago

Flash to european firmware No harm, nothing to lose

I don't even have to actively browse, just turn on HSDPA data connection and use sparingly for twitter/foursquare updates and I would lose 30% in 2 hours. The best I ever had is to have 20% remaining after about 8 hours, by leaving it idle most of the time.

So I resort to use EDGE when I ain't downloading/tethering. That gives me 70% or more remaining power till the end of the day. Excellent battery life.

Any ordinary 3.5mm headphone jack will work perfectly fine for music. Only if you need the microphone for phone calls, you need the jack which Samsung has used.

The GPS issue has never been explicitly addressed by Samsung. Samsung never admitted any problem with GPS for our international GT-i9000 anyway.

GPS is temperamental, it usually works but at times, it just didn't work ideally. When it doesn't work ideally, the accuracy is fairly poor, causing navigation system to drift to nearby roads.

An app called "GPS aids" which should assist the GPS getting location fix, does help my device a lot. I don't have to wait at roadside for GPS fix anymore.

At the moment, whatsapp. Free for first year, multiplatform over iPhone, BlackBerry, Nokia and Android. Push messages. No need to create username/password. No need to ask for friend's username; automatically detected by phone number. Within my friends, most of them have Whatsapp.

Still latest

I usually do speedmod -> all partition convert to ext4 including /system.

High quadrant score does not mean good performance.

I'm afraid to tell you that if the bootloader flash failed, you won't be able to use JIG.

Can anyone show me the link of hardware fix?

1. You could just totally not set any APN (or destroy any APN set for you). On Froyo, you can disable data connection. The apps and system will still attempt to connect to internet periodically but would fail. To obtain best experience with smartphones, a data plan is highly recommended. To me, the phone is boring (I don't play games), it's just the online contents and convenience that attracts me.

2. OS does not update over wifi for now. KIES would not wipe your personal data usually. The usual way of setting up an Android phone is to sync contacts and calender to Gmail account. Android phone also allows Microsoft Exchange server connection for corporate accounts. In any chance of contacts and calender being wiped, just setup those accounts and information will be fetched automatically, provided you have internet connection.

3. The difference between them aren't just the display. Both firmwares are not cross-flashable, hence I believe they are quite different hardware internally.

1. In short, you can disable.
2. Update via KIES. Or unofficially use Samsung factory leaked software: Odin.

I believe KIES and Google Market does not need credit card for basic functionality; only when you attempt to purchase apps.

Usually application, including live wallpaper, are distributed in .apk container. You would just have to drop the .apk and run it from the phone. Again, usually we don't drop any .apk into the device directly. We just use Google Market to get anything we want. It's an app which gets app.

Anyway, if you're going to get SGS SL, that is GT-i9003, a different model. You may also participate here: https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...post&p=40555837

Enter recovery mode, then:
1. If you're on stock ROM/kernel, clear Cache partition
2. If you're on custom ROM/kernel which has CWM recovery, clear Dalvik cache.

Try that before resorting to reflash.

As an experienced 3 button presser(LOL), I can get into recovery/download mode without shutting off the device. However, it isn't recommended as such procedure skips shutdown procedure, which may result in file corruption. Same goes for those who use app or terminal emulator (su then reboot recovery) to get into recovery mode, it does cause dirty writes, hence not recommended.

When you have 3 button recovery disabled phone, you won't be able to enter both mode. That's what I experienced with my phone, until I flashed the bootloader update

Sony Ericsson MW600. Relatively cheap with good features. However caller ID and track name etc, does not work on Android bluetooth stack. You will get phone number displayed instead during incoming call.

Papago x5

Nope. Just use and enjoy!

Actually how often would we use the front facing camera. Even if Skype has video calling function, I don't have plans to use it.
