QUOTE(Danson @ Mar 26 2011, 02:46 PM) Totally different just the menu slide vertically because other android phone only can slide horizontally, iphone replicator is Galaxy Ace http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_ace_s5830-3724.php Sorry, but Galaxy Ace is not iphone replicator, Sophone is.http://www.sophone.com  The design of all modern smartphone are getting more similar as they only allow touch or touch sensitive input on the front, fewer are come with physical buttons now and the future. So they will tend to look the same, except the back of course. However, there are still some elements that Samsung take from Iphone to build their phone, obviously, but I would not call that a replicate. |

A bad news for this phone.
Since this phone is not so popular, Samsung will discontinue this model after next month shipment. Let's have our finger crossed that this model will receive developers' support, hopefully someone in India. However, my GF will be getting this phone tomorrow after today's survey, RM1600 ori. I will give a review after I get the phone. |

QUOTE(Danson @ Mar 30 2011, 07:20 PM) Where's the source of this news? Today I went survey many phone stalls, shops and booths, they all told me the same. Not really sure all of them are believable, but since SGS2 is releasing soon this model is going to fade real quick. |

QUOTE(noswear @ Mar 31 2011, 08:43 AM) Really discontinue? but what i heard was the discontinuation of Galaxy S Super Amoled and not SL. I'm not sure also I'm just telling what the phone sellers told me, I doubt the same too.I have frens working in Samsung saying that Super Amoled was discontinue since Jan / Feb 2011. If SL also to be cancel...why they waste the money to advertise...i saw that it has been advertised alongside with Galaxy Ace, Galaxy 5 and SL but not Super Amoled. ... Maybe is because not much demand for this phone so they don't want to bring in stock. Yes SAMOLED Galaxy S has been discontinued, that's for sure. QUOTE(jxseah @ Mar 31 2011, 02:41 AM) Oh no....i still cant decide which phone i want to buy....either Samsung Galaxy S or Samsung Galaxy SL?? SOMEBODY HELP?? If I were you, if I want the best, I would wait for Galaxy S2, if not just stick with Galaxy SL.Galaxy S still selling about RM2000 for original, which is about RM400 difference with SL, and Galaxy S will obsolete once S2 is launched. |

QUOTE(Lacus @ Apr 1 2011, 02:05 AM) Hmm, anyone having issues with playing videos? some how i can't play MKV files on both my Galaxy SL (same video but works fine on my SGS Galaxy SL stock video player doesn't support mkv files, you can download vplayer or rockplayer from the market to play your mkv files. ) No sim card being inserted atm  ooh, Galaxy SL has slight better battery life due to 1650 compare to 1500 on sgs (and it fits on the SGS just as good too)SL has better battery but I think it has to compensate the more battery hunger SLCD screen, so I think the battery life for both S and SL is almost similar. QUOTE(noswear @ Apr 1 2011, 09:01 AM) havent start trying with playing video.... You can try any battery related apps on the market, personally I use Battery Indicator, you can download from here:stil configuring...my list of contacts...you know all the contacts looks weired when you port from one phone to another... need to re-type some of it... btw, how do you check the battery life (in details ie percentage) other than viewing on battery bar on the home screen. http://www.appbrain.com/app/battery-indica...atteryIndicator This post has been edited by xsaintzx: Apr 1 2011, 10:38 AM |

Guys, do you face heat issue when connecting or downloading using WIFI?
My phone is hot when using WIFI for 10~15mins, and it is much hotter than when you are charging your phone, which I feel a little unusual. A little heat is okay but the heat it gives a little unacceptable. Btw, my proximity sensor is not working, wtf. |

Man, this is a pain in the ass.
From 1699 to 1200, RM500 dropped after not only 1 month. I wonder how far can this device go.. |

QUOTE(dahool00 @ Apr 25 2011, 10:49 AM) I read this from: Battery life is not that bad, but you need to apply the usual steps to save battery: turn off wifi, gps, data when not in use.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???? ==================== By the way for those who are looking for casings and screen protectors specifically for Galaxy SL and not Galaxy, I'm selling them. Soft case and hard case also available. http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=1850622   This post has been edited by xsaintzx: Apr 25 2011, 04:26 PM |

QUOTE(ryouhora @ Apr 27 2011, 01:28 PM) 1) can sl be upgraded to 2.3 gingerbread? 2) is there any SOD problems like in ACE? 3) is there other major problems? 2) so far I didn't face SOD problem in SL, but Ace YES. 3) I got proximity sensor problem, it only works when my phone is 180 degree upright, won't work if the phone is laying down or what. But Ace's proximity sensor is working without problem |

QUOTE(akash3656 @ Apr 27 2011, 08:11 PM) I was wondering: 1. Not so fast, at least for now. Samsung will reserved TW4 for SGS2. However, TW4 already leaked for SGS thanks to geniuses in XDA.1. will Samsung put Touchwiz 4.0 in this model (with Gingerbread)? 2. When will Gingerbread release? 3. As the HW is diff from SGS, i bet Custom Roms will have to wait? Any news on custom rom though? 4. SGS inheritance (is it there)? Is the GPS problematic? What about lag? Does it require lag fix? and erm...... is Samsung STILL using RFS? [I think they are  ]2. Gingerbread released last year. Gingerbread for Galaxy SL = not yet and not known 3. Only 1 custom rom being developed till now, and it is still new, try search in XDA forum 4. So far didn't encounter GPS problems on Galaxy SL, but I feel a little bit laggy, not caused by TW because LauncherPro also lag. Not sure about the system used. |
