i feel some resistance when i swipe the screen of my phone. after like 15 mins of game playing or keying in contacts, my wrist start to hurt.

Anybody encounter the same? I don't know whether it's the screen protector causing not so smooth feeling. so have to swipe like extra hard.

GPS so far ok, log pretty fast, but my papago X5 will force close sometimes and FYI, papago X5 is only supported up to 2.1, so it bound to have issues on froyo/gingerbread. Hope custome ROM in the future will prevent force close too often.

papago X5 close within 3 mins. keep closing. yours does too?

Hi N33d, want to ask, did you manage to call samsung about the faulty magnetic sensor? Any updates?

For the RAM problem, Normally I off the phone. Then I on the phone again, and it will back to 170 mb.

It's an ori set. Gave up trying to fix it..and brought the phone back to the shop. Getting a new set. Maybe it was because when I tried to get my laptop to recognise and install the driver for my I9003, it messed up the software in the phone. The shop guy told me never to hook up to the laptop when transferring files. But how to update firmware then? Read that Samsung may upgrade the firmware to Froyo 3.0 rclxms.gif

In the home screen, hold the page with the tip of your finger and slide your finger to the right..and the left page containing more widgets will slide into position. You will find more applications on the left page. The calender widget is on that page. In fact, if you slide your finger to the left, the right page will appear with more applications. Works just like the iphone and ipad..there are more applications hidden there. If you install more applications they will be placed on the other pages. The preloaded applications are awesome. I just love the ibook application as there are a lot of free books!

cant slide to right. max already. and still cant find calendar

Well I'm not an experienced user, but I can share with you some hiccups I faced when trying to connect my phone to my laptop. You need to get the driver for the phone in order for the laptop to recognise and install it. I used the driver for Windows 7 downloaded from http://www.softwarepatch.com/utilities/sam...usb-driver.html. Without the driver, your laptop may not be able to recognise your phone.  Please scan the downloaded file with antivirus software before using. I installed the KIES samsung suite from the small CD provided in the box. After that, everything seems to be running Ok and the KIES seems to recognise my phone. I transferred some jpgs and ringtones to my memory card in the phone. But after that smooth beginning..my phone starts to heat up every time I make calls. cry.gif  Maybe some applications were still running in the background and I did not shut them off with the Task Manager (I was activating some applications and downloaded some free ebooks for the ibook application, surfing with the browser and setting up my email with google mail.). So I would advice you to shut off applications after you open them..just like my iPad.

my phone is fine hooking up to computer. i transfer movie n mp3. it can recognize

Agree with you. I've a replacement phone after first one became VERY HOT when doing tasks and making calls/answering calls. Hanged and rebooted once when I first got the new set also. Yesterday phone was on full charge. This morning..message said "Battery Low"! Aiyah how come so fast! Wifi was on..so turned it off today and see whether battery charge lasts longer. Checked with Task Manager but saw no applications running. Are there some serious issues with this phone? mad.gif

i try to use hands free to talk on the phone. and try not to hold the phone in my palm but lay it down on table when playing games.. ha ha. ya my battery also yesterday fully charge, morning low batt. Maybe play games or something use a lot of battery gua.

just use NERO to burm. select the files u want, put in ur empty dvd-r into ur drive. Then automatically it will burn the files to dvdr.
been doing it for years. no problem.

by the way, this provided ur player can read mp3, if not no point coz dont have this function.

special thanks for 3snow for sharing his knowledge! I finally managed to get assassin's creed on my SL.

by the way, this phone support or not the HD version? I tried playing the game, all the charaters have no graphics. Just white spaces.

Anyone encounter this? Should I uninstall and re-download/install again?
