the shop didnt provide more freebies like phone charger,holder,pouch,papago also...
need to set it by own  cry.gif

2GB to 4GB need topup RM10 only, take it la smile.gif
Maybe can ask them for screen protector and cheap pouch to last you until you can find proper ones. These 2 things are very cheap for them.

Japan earthquake, many factory shutting down.. price might hike, dont be suprise.

Well, the phone should be manufactured in China, with most parts coming from China or Korea. Which parts are supplied by Japanese factories?

Zero facebook is only free during certain hours. Other hours, it is chargeable. Last time used to be totally free. Can get more info from DiGi thread.

Hi,

Can anyone please let me know whether the video playback on (xvid, avi and mkv) using rock player is smooth on Ace?

I read that mp4 play smoothly but I do not want to convert to mp4 everytime I want to watch movies. (mainly avi files).

Please advise as I'm comparing with the Acer Liquid Metal.

Thanks!  notworthy.gif
*
From my tests, not smooth. Low FPS, audio/video out of sync, not watchable. Normal 700MB movie files. 15MB FLV files also not smooth biggrin.gif

Thanks for the feedback Dannyl. Not sure if this is hardware limitation or codec issue? Have anyone tried other Video Player?

Btw, did you try QQ Player for flv? Read somewhere that it is playing smoothly.
*
QUOTE(jpker kia @ Mar 16 2011, 01:58 PM)
Try rock player
*
Forgot to mention, I tried RockPlayer and Vital Player. Both players will mention that the codec is not found then they play using software decoding. Will try QQ Player for FLV later. BTW, isn't QQ a China messenger?

QUOTE(LPJ @ Mar 16 2011, 02:08 PM)
I would like to ask, anyone using the KIES to connect the phone to PC? I have not actually install it to my PC, so I would like to ask, is it straight forward, just pop in the given CD (got 2 small CDs right?) and follow the instruction will do? What can we do using KIES? When we plug the phone to PC, can we make the phone like USB thumbdrive? Need to install special driver?

Cheers...
*
Install KIES. Plug in phone to PC. PC will install phone drivers (this step will fail if you did not install KIES). Then you can enable USB from the phone for your mass storage needs (drag and drop files via Windows Explorer). KIES got other uses like organise your phone media, etc, but I didn't explore.

My problem is that now my office network can view my Kies under Other Devices! Must uninstall later and see if it removes the USB drivers as well.

successfully rooted this baby... guys, how do u manage your apps? i wanna categorise them, say all games in 1 folder and social networking apps in another folder. is this doable?
*
How about putting organising shortcuts on the homescreens instead? Games on 1 screen, social stuff on another. Can create folders too.

BTW, organising apps on Apps menu is doable by Optimus One out of the box. I like that.

The ACE didn't receive rave review fro The STAR Intech today. I am now thinking of the HTC Incredible which will be out soon.
*
The Cons are understandable considering the price is RM900+. But why did he complain about the lack of AMOLED? Come on, even Desire HD doesn't have AMOLED. And talking about slow processor and low resolution, they're both better than Wildfire's already, which cost more.

On the good side, the review should make the demand less and end the price-jacking nonsense.

Is it include delivery charges?

yes included. Quality not the best, but at that price, I didn't mind.

HC means High Capacity, it's still a micro SD. Can use smile.gif

You order clear type? Many finger print lo.

I got spec clothes to wipe with. Fingerprint is acceptable, less than clear display is not. With matte sp on, even AMOLED screen becomes pixellated. I've seen Legend, Desire, Desire HD with matte sp... all of the displays look worse than my Ace on clear sp biggrin.gif

Actually most games and apps will work... no need to list out all that are working, right? I mean, there are tens of thousands of games and apps that will work on Ace... how about listing those which won't work? Let me start: Adobe Flash Player biggrin.gif

It protects the whole body of your phone. Not just the screen.
So, if your Ace is the black one, you might not be able to use this.
I wanna protect the sides of my Ace cause it's the most prone to scratches...
The price is less than RM100.  rclxms.gif  rclxms.gif

Like shrink-wrapping? smile.gif
Yes, I foresee the chrome part getting lots of scratches!

how much this phone now? <900? how this phone compared to galaxy SL?

Galaxy SL is more expensive but of course better. Go for that if you have the budget.

QUOTE(ka_one2000 @ Mar 21 2011, 02:35 PM)
planning to buy SGA, but being informed that you cannot install software to Memory card and if want to transfer software and games to memory card, you have to root. I a normal user and root is my last option (scared warranty void). so any other option than to root? thanks
*
SGA comes with Froyo, apps automatically install to memory card (if the app supports this Froyo feature). Some necessary files stay on the phone, but these are usually small-sized.
