QUOTE(mynewuser @ Apr 2 2011, 12:15 PM) Please update your result on this battery. Can last whole day? (joking) Last month, I purchase the soft case from hongkong. It take more than 2 week to received the item. My main reason was the external charger..lol...hopefully the batt can last 2 days! i bought a lot of camera accy from HK in deals like this...2 weeks is considered fast dude. I got a filter arrived in 31 calendar days. Another time I actually paid USD5 extra for registered and 'expedited' shipping but it arrived in 15 days. |

QUOTE(Bugeca @ Apr 2 2011, 08:26 PM) You're now on second stage. The phone will show "Downloading...." and your pc will show another dialog box. This is transferring stage, there will be another percentage scale at the dialog box. It takes a while for this dialog box to show up but it should not be more than 30 minutes. Mine around 5 - 10 minutes. basically the pc portion just stopped. QUOTE(RhythmYun @ Apr 2 2011, 08:27 PM) the % downloading at new kies windows already reach 100% and then it just closes by itself. I have the main windows from the kies thats all... I rebooted the phone with permanent effect so i decided to skip this round of upgrade till later...now too phobia edi. |

trust me, give swype a try (especially at the beginning when the dictionary is rather limited) and after 2-3 days it'll be much faster than regular qwerty....its even faster than when i used a full thumb qwerty of e71 type.

I loaded bbc.co.uk mobile website in less than 10s via wifi using dolphin hd browser.don't know if that's considered fast but bbc website is considered quite slow compared with most webs.
update - used my work internet to upgrade the firmware, all done in less than 10 minutes.
(i disabled the anti virus btw).

the gps transceiver / chip is very weak for this phone (compared to standalone navi devices) so even if you are near the window there is no satellite reception. You really need to be under an open sky. even standing outside next to a high wall will not do.
anyway this is quite typical of most phones except certain nokias.

Did a factory reset on Saturday with was a PITA, but it didn't help against auto shutdowns (once in about 8-16hrs). I had some basic apps like papago, dictionary and Bibles.
Yesterday I took a call from my mom for 15mins and after she hung up the phone switched off..
Just took my Ace to Samsung service center to reflash backwards to original day 1 FW. Hopefully it behaves as before the firmware update...

Added on April 12, 2011, 2:23 amwhen u got ur phone rooted.. try installing apps that required root access such as titanium backup.. mybackup root.. root explorer..
Added on April 12, 2011, 2:36 amSGA is equipped with same gpu Adreno 200 just like SE X10, Desire, Google S, etc.. and it does support OpenGL. My X10i can play smoothly except heavy loaded games such as dungeon defender a bit laggy. so far i tested my SGA is running fine such games as dungeon hunter, shrek 3d, NFS shift, PES 2011.. no problem. So there is no rm50 class 10 16gb micro sd right? |

for me its been 48hrs since last manual reboot. wifi has never been a problem with the original firmware.
Baseband ver: S5830DXKA9 (previously having lots of problems with DXKC1).
still keeping fingers crossed.
FYI I connect to TLS enterprise level security at work and WEP basic security at home. You guys should know that the Samsung androids come with built in proxy settings that is critical for enterprise internet access. Most androids I encounter don't actually have this built in and its a hassle to enable it.
