Question for SGA DiGi user,
how to go for facebook free access (0.facebook.com) ???
thank you...

You have to go settings -> wifi and networks -> Mobile Networks and tick it.... then only you can use... but before that, check if there is anything (apps or widgets) you set to auto refresh because it WILL cost you your data..

as for both of you i suggest create a shortcut on the home screen for tuning mobile network on or off when you need it... unless you signed an unlimited data plan....

you can always disable auto updates/refreshes for most of the apps and widgets of social networks...

I dont know about others but im using Digi... not using 0.facebook.com but instead im using touch.faebook.com (yes this takes data costs),
I dont load videos, i just merely check on updates of my group/event in facebook, whilst the auto refresh of news feed goes...
I disabled auto refresh for tweet deck home tab(all updates) but enabled auto refresh at Me tab(only updates about me)...
I Foursquare at new places..
I sometimes even browse websites with mobile network....

after all these i still dont use much data plan.. not to mention digi gives free data after reloading.. so basically 10Mb is enough to use for more than 2 weeks for me...
as long as you dont load videos or download or heavy usage of data plans, you wont lose much...

of course i turn off mobile networks when not used.. since i did not sign for a unlimited data plan...

you should spend some time and money to find out if what you are using, your mobile network, is really that costly because i find it not THAT fast... unless you start refreshing things ALOT and browse alot....

hello ace users  notworthy.gif

i recently bought this phone for rm980 (standard package = 2gb sd, charger, n so on)

at first the phone seems okay but..............

1st prob
today i don't know why the ram is almost at its max..i tried to clear the memory in the task manager but it frees only a little..then i delete some apps but still the same thing..at last i shut down the phone and wait for a while and turn it on again..thank god the ram consume lesser than before..what could cause this prob? is it the monitoring apps? or is it something else?

2nd prob
is anti virus apps is necessary for android? (im new to android)

3rd prob
when i first got the phone i log into the google account and download some apps..i dont know why the phone keeps asking me for password in the notification area..how to disable this? i have disable the pocket data and background data..

4th prob
i cannot get my swype function worked out? how to configure it?

5th prob
i know rooting void the warranty but is possible to unroot after u have root the phone? if im not mistaken, there is an unroot function on SOC 1.7 right?

this is my first android phone and i really want to get the best out of it  icon_question.gif

1) Try not to multitask much.... Ace's RAM is very limited... and android is true multitask (3rd party apps can run simultaneously)
always kill tasks whenever you feel like it... use task killer pro if you like a one click kill....

2) I dont think so... Android is Linux based... No .exe virus can cause any damage on it. Unless someone codes a virus to attack Linux and yet you downloaded it... then there is possibility... so far i dont think anti virus is needed... as long as you use normal apps, trusted, and check the comments before downloading any... you should be fine...

3) Not sure, never encounter this on my gf's Ace when setup google account....

4) touch + hold on text field... or Settings -> languages and inputs (or something like that) explore around more.. anyway swype is slow =x

5) yes you can unroot anytime... if you use SOC that is.. as of the version im not sure... perhaps the latest will do?

Good luck =)

please do note though that if you ask some shops to install papago for you.. they include alot of things inside...
my papago works fine and only take up like 600Mb of SD card with mfm maps... but those shops filled up my gf's ace 3.8G just like that because of papago... dunno how they install..
eventually i install myself.... the best... and it's not hard really...
you're an android user... i expect you know more than just a normal PC user....
