you got it messep up.

using PAPAGO, will require GPS to be turn on. but without packet data enable (standard GPS, not AGPS), this will greatly depend on your location and will take more than 2mins to connect.

but enabling packet data (AGPS), this will help you connect in less than 30seconds, provided it can get connected to Internet to download AGPS data.

using network location (wifi / mobile network), this can be use for latitude, twitter geolocation and sort of.

I think you maybe messed up on the last part. Android have two features to pinpoint your location. One using the hardware GPS which you elaborated clearly, the other one is using wi-fi / mobile network.

For a simple test. Try run Maps and see that it start with a large radius (accuracy) then it reduced to smaller and the accuracy range decreases. The first time you fire up the Maps, it will use the readily available data which is wi-fi (based on IP) or mobile network (based on telco tower triangulation), then when the GPS lock up, it will use the latter as it is more accurate.

That is why sometime we can have GPS location while inside the building although most of the GPS hardware are struggling to get signal even PND unit.

Wifi/mobile network is not A-GPS.

thx for pointing it out. hehe.

btw, did you notice that, latitude require wifi to be enable even not connected to improve accuracy. how does this work? btw, gps is off. i'm on network location.
*
When the GPS is off (manually), it will use wifi/mobile network. Anyway, I never switch off my GPS on both phones even though i did not use GPS app. The battery usage is quite minimal as long as you configure the GPS depended app schedules correctly.

so just copy all the files from stock microsd to computer then to new microsd ?
then how about the application data ??
example angry birds,already finish all the stage
will it wipe all the data ?
*
Nope it won't. Need to use PC and card reader if possible. The funny thing is although you rooted the Ace, you can't see what's inside .android_secure only using PC you can see it. All the apps are there.

This is for stock sdcard which running normal App2SD or Move2SD methods. Not sure about Dark Tremor App2SD method which split ur sd partition.

Minimum Class 4. The phone is charging, you can switch it on (power button or home button) to check the status and it will stop charging when it's full.

What is your SMS settings? Particularly on "Delete old messages" and "message limit" setting.

There are a couple of people selling Ace's SP for very reasonable price, like AskarPerang and lhongwuh~
My firmware is the stock firmware as I didn't update it yet too. Haha!
The problem I faced so far is the sudden hangup issue. Which irritates me a lot -.-
No problem!  biggrin.gif
*
The best approach to solve hang up problem is back to basic. Factory reset and run stock apps only. If the problem did not go away, then send for warranty. If it gone, some of your apps are causing it.

Before exit the browser, kill the tab. it will load the default homepage.

Hi Guys...a noob question~
I saw galaxy ace is using the same chipset(Qualcomm MSM7227 chipset) with LG optimus one, but how come 1 is 800mhz and one is 600mhz...
Does it mean galaxy ace is overclocked?
*
it is a turbo version smile.gif

What version is it? Can you share with us?

From the samfirmware page, we can found a list of version: http://www.samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-s5830.htm (Need to register) and yes..we can flash to latest version.

For Asia region, the firmware code is S5830ZCKA7
*
The one in samfirmware is an old version for Hong Kong. The updated South East Asia firmware is DXKC1.

For Samsung Android phones, no need to root to have the fonts. Just search flipfont over the Internet, download the apk and install. Then change under Display settings.

Seems like somebody having similar problem with mine.
It appears that if I let my Wifi ON, then lets my phone  be idle, it will somehow freeze my phone.
It does not turn off my phone, but just freeze the phone.

Usually when this happen, I had to removed the battery and turn back on.
So basically just dont let your phone be idle if you turn ON your wifi.

Kind of irritating actually.

Instead of taking out the batt, you can press and hold the power button for about 30 secs. It will reboot.

Is it that Android 2.2 for HTC is different from Android 2.2 for galaxy ace? I discover that the skin is kinda different...

Android is different between manufacturers even the version is same. U can't interchange the ROM between em.
