Hello all! Super new user. bought my ace on 10th march. Wanted to buy moon's ace, but out of stock, went to buy at low yat, got 1000. I cannot wait till next week because need a new phone ASAP, so i took it. the guy ask for 50 deposit, went back with phone, some jibber jabber latter, price went up 50 bucks. i guess being a newbie, i just took it. add in sandisk card class 6, 8gb RM100. total, 1150 for my ace. i saw a post saying 8gb micro sd is only 60++. cheated twice T-T

altho the ace was supreme and to me it was 1150 well spent. although the battery is a big problem. the data is also a big problem (student, no data plan). I need to use data for mms only so i had to root the phone to block other application.

Successfully rooted with SOC v1.7

P/S: the main diff between black n white is the back cover. Anybody know where to get white cover?

i do not type my messages. I swype em away. And it is nice, no lag. Though it really does take time to get used to. Afterwards, the 40 words per minute Samsung claimed on their website is really achievable. Took me only 3 days to master ^^

y dont u JFGI it? I did it for you and I think this would work.

Added on March 15, 2011, 2:05 amwhere did u check? I didn't seem to find it in the settings page, but at the box side it stated that it is using TW 3.0 for android. altho, from the app responsible for the homescreen, it only stated that it was v1.6+. I did a little digging around and i found that people really complain a lot about TW 2 and liked TW 3 more, since I like this user interface, then no harm saying this is TW 3. =p

i think that's the android version you are talking about. I don't know. I don't care much for the version number. As long as I am happy with the it. But on the box, it states 3.0.

Added on March 15, 2011, 3:00 pmsuper worth it. If you can get it below 1k, to me it's a better deal. mine was jacked up to 1150

i got the same problem the other day, because i closed the data, sucking my credit faster than a bj. I opened back because someone sent me MMS, cannot get. The way I did it is root, dl droidwall, whitelist GPRS for messaging only and finally redownload the whole GPRS setting. To download settings for digi, SETUP and send to 2000. After 2 hours, my MMS finally got downloaded.

ya, who dare to become the black sheep? I don wanna cuz it took me a long time to get 1k maa... 7months eating egg+rice only.. =p

Added on March 16, 2011, 4:00 pmyes, correct! i figured that he might have the same problem.

---

Added on March 16, 2011, 4:05 pmyes, I have the same predicament too. but i don't mind much, because i mostly use text and to call i just go to contacts. the problem is i don't want to see text traffic, i just want to see call traffic

nope. AFAIK need to root to do that

Added on March 17, 2011, 4:55 amno lah.. it's very easy. google superoneclick, download and follow instructions carefully. there's even a video showing you how to do it. although, there is a 1 in 100 000 that your phone has manufacturing defect and brick. other than that it's very safe.

Added on March 17, 2011, 5:01 amyou're welcome! ^^ So far, droidwall has been my most useful app ever, saving up to RM50 per day. My first day exploring ace costed me RM30

that depends on the class of the memory card. if u get class 6+ should be no problem using even 16gb memo card.

what is this glass-less display? from my googling around, seems its like 3D effects stuff. like that?

U need to be ready though, once you do this, your data will start to flow like niagra. Go to Settings>Accounts and Sync enable background data. Go to settings> Wireless and Networks>Mobile Networks and make sure enable packet data is ticked. At the same page, go to Access Point Names and make sure next to Celcom 3G Internet there is a green dot. Hope this helps =)

depends on your usage. what will u use data for? surfing? or for MMSing only? like to dowload, like to stay connected with social networking apps, better change to postpaid get high end package.

no. If you read a post that I posted earlier, I provided steps for you to limit data only to MMS. Games and other bullshit will be excluded from data. Need to root phone first and download droidwall v1.5

Added on March 21, 2011, 3:57 pmcurrently I am waiting to finish downloading from this site. u need to be fast. links turning up dead faster than flies on the zapper.

Added on March 21, 2011, 4:03 pmI use Launcher Pro. Got Vertical menu surfing and can customise dock. Tried ADW, didn't really like it. Can change App drawer BG colour, but not put picture as app drawer BG. Or perhaps I have not finished exploring... Anybody who has successfully changed their App Drawer BG to a picture, tell me please

Added on March 21, 2011, 4:08 pmwhy does black ace cannot use idefense SP?
as a black Ace owner, I seriously feel that we black Ace owners are discriminated.

if the price exceeD 1.2k, which phone you think is worth to buy than this ace?
btw, how to pronounce 'ace' and S???does seem the seller will confius?

yes, sellers do get confused and also S is a bit pricier. If they say S, just say 5830. they should know which one.

I had just googled iDefense SP, and I want one! anybody know where to buy the back white cover? or is there anybody here who might want to sell their back white cover?

guys, got 1 question. How do u do a nandroid backup on ur phone? the only thing i know is that u have to root ur phone. the other part including what apps to download and how to do it is a bit fuzzy... can help me ah?

mine is good. ^^ although if i compare head on with IP4, fruit ninja is a bit laggy. but very3 small. non-hardcore speed junkie won't notice one.

Added on March 24, 2011, 7:25 pmI am using Radio Opt Traffic Monitor. To me, it is fairly accurate. tested when downloading a 32kb MMS.

Hey, anybody playing angry birds rio notice that when using the app, ur RAM suddenly drop to 70? finding that a bit worrying since with other games, I always get 110Mb memory. =p perhaps i am worrying too much.

no need install wtf. just find a symbol on ur keyboard with the letters EN. hold it and I think it will pop out an option for PRC chinese. or else option is always there. go to Settings>Language and keyboard.
