hello,

you wrote: "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. laugh.gif

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...=40555837"

1. meaning, I plug my phone to PC via cable and the the app in the phone will talk to android market over the net? secure? no virus that will be d/loaded to my phone since it's direct.

2. also, my friend gave me a few .apk files - live wallpaper, so how can i download these to my phone?

3. u have SGS or SL? I am waiting for the Neo before I decide on SL. I like Samsung because of its design. SE has the 3 silver h/w buttons which looks a bit cheap ;-P. Anyway, hope SL will get 2.3 soon. Oh yes, so if I do get SL and it has 2.2, how to upgrade to 2.3 - use KIES? Also using cable? Sorry, not much wifi spots around my area - so i do all in office - phone-->cable--> pC.

thks!!!

1. so, u mean i browse android market using my phone and then do a download of the app via wifi, right?
2. what about .apk files - live wallpaper i have on my pc, how to transfer to phone and run it since they are not from android market?
3. if u see here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_98hu6J90Bs (the last part) where they show the live wallpaper, how did he manage to place in wall paper as part of the selected items. Usually, in other phones, i need to go to that particular folder, open folder, view picture and then select as wallpaper....many steps. But here, it quickly go into wallpaper selection. Just wondering, the android phone smart enuff to detect this file is a live wall paper and know where to store it?

thx

1. OK
2. Try and see
3. IC - ok, XML - the file properties...used in programming....heard abt this

Thanks Danson

SS2 selling at Rm1600.
I heard the speaker quality - ringtone, OK - not too loud and not too soft

1. BTW, can the screen be read under the sun?
2. is there a silicon casing or back cover protector in the market for this model?

thx

Hello Danson, maybe i am not that tech-savvy. so i cannot understand ur answer.

Can u please answer my 2 questions?

1. can the screen be read under the sun?

2. is there a silicon casing or back cover protector in the market for this model?

why didn't u wait for Sony Ericsson Arc or Neo (VIVAZ 2), they have more things than SGS SL and running OS 2.3, i think Arc will price ard RM1800-RM2000+, whereas Neo will go ard RM1500-RM1800.

thx

Before decide to buy SL:

1. Waiting to see SE Neo and Arc price and sound quality

2. waiting for SGS SL screen protector and silicon back casing before I buy SGS SL cos usually phone shop give free

i agree with u.
i am waiting for SE Neo cos the specs is about the same as SL....comparing on the video/camera

i need to see the price and also the sound quality (ringtone).

but i agree with u, wait, wait...new models out...never satisfy and at the end no phone being purchased

i9000 - RM1800++

i9003 - RM1600

Ace - video recording very poor. i'm a multimedia person, so video/camera must be good

any idea silicone cover available for i9003 cos this model is new.

u guys not waiting for SE Xperia Neo?

Digital Mall, Gnd floor, RM1599 - phone, not sure 2 or 4 GB card given free and silicone cover + screen protector

go to digital mall, sek 17 - many stocks
and around SS2 area, along the big duck restaurant

hehe - bought already still ask OK or not?

for me, i am waiting for SE Neo to be out as SE Arc cost RM2K.

BTW, you guys think SG SL will get 2.3 updates?

I read this from:

http://www.noktahhitam.com/sp-behold-the-s...-galaxy-sl.html

The Bad

It does not come with a dedicated camera button and flash, which is quite important for quick draw of camera and low light situation. It gets pretty hot when you charge (somehow most smartphones are like this) and running bad application (happens when using FourSquare). As for battery life, although it comes with 1650 mAh it only lasts 1 day. Charge at night, morning unplug, late evening charge again, the cycle repeats just like any Android phone.



BATTERY LIFE THAT BAD????
====================

visited senQ/senHeng at Kelana Jaya/Giant. RM1299, need to be a member - add RM12 to enjoy 3 yrs warranty.

waiting for SE Neo before deciding on SL

the more people buy this phone, the more "problem" users will discover...yikes!!!!

Any reason why you guys did not wait for Sony E Neo where its specs it's "better" than Samsung SL - despite SE phones have the potential of slow OS updates. Thanks.
