known issues for my phone so far:
1) WIFI sometimes gets error message but solve after typing *#*#526#*#* (no biggie for me)

the rest...it's ok...GPS works..so far game don't lag maybe because i keep my phone apps minimal... don't simply install rubbish/one-off apps.

apps in my phone:
Shazam (detect songs when m driving)
Whatsapp
Bible
Fring
Facebook
FxCamera
Google Translate
QuickMark
Skyfire
Skype
Photoshop
Opera Mini
Mahjong
Live poker
Angry Bird
Raging Thunder
NFS Shift
Twitter
PES 2011

m using google navigation with voice. it's free.
just wanna know how much diff compare to papago.
maybe i should install papago and write a comparison.

For browser,
try using Skyfire browser... it supports certain flash side(sorry no Flash games). i use it to watch live football streaming when astro is down or in office...

i would suggest everyone to get unlimited package for broadband. this phone works better with full internet access.


Added on March 29, 2011, 4:42 pmguys, have u heard of an app that allows u to root ur phone through your phone without using PC. i just downloaded it and read the review in youtube..seems like it worked...

anyone tried this app before?

how to update firmware
*
first of all, make sure u are connected to the internet.
install the latest kies to ur pc (the one give in the cd is one version older...)... connect the usb from phone to pc.... and than it will ask u whether to upgrade or not...

in case u wondering how to get the latest kies software.... just install the cd... midway through the installation, it will ask u to upgrade it...

upgrading ur phone firmware might take a while... sometimes there's an error...


btw, mine upgraded d... checking out the diff...
on paper...everything seems the same...

Ace known issues:
1)  wifi dead (solve by restarting wifi driver *#*#526#*#*)
2)  phone dead, need to take out battery (AFAIK, caused by wifi)
3)  battery life (yes I know all smartphones also like this, but after using a few, Ace seems worst)

Those who updated the firmware, are you still seeing problems 1 and 2?
*
out of the 3...i only exp wifi error. battery life i guess is built that way...it can last for 1 1/2 days...
after upgraded to the latest firmware since tues... there's no wifi error.

SGA do not support flash games such as facebook games.
Skyfire only supports flash base videos.
SGA do not support 3D/HD games. those kind of games need higher tech, hence you need a better/more expensive phones.

for those who have issues with WIFI, try hard reset and use the phone as it is, so that you know the problem is from the phone or your apps.

if the issues still persist, pls send it to samsung asap. you might be able to claim a new phone. Upgrading to the latest firmware might not fixed these issues. some ppl said it's fixed some ppl said no. As for my situation, it is fixed.

auto shutdown also seems like manufacturer fault. so quickly go and send it to samsung. i've checked so far, there's no guaranteed solution.

also, i realised that whenever you use an app and close it. it seems like it's not entirely close. if you check using ATK, the apps seems to be running. maybe that's the reason battery is running fast.


Added on April 11, 2011, 6:29 pmalso, browsing internet with SGA will take up a some internal memory. Try go to Setting>Aplications>Manage Applications>All>look for your internet icon. Click the Clear cache button.

internet browsing or some other apps might have stored some data(cache) in your phone. just like your PC. you need to clear it sometimes. heavy internet browsing might store up to min 6-10mb of data.

so check each of ur apps, see whether they take up any cache from your internal memory.

warning: DO NOT CLEAR DATA. data is your username and passwords. for example, if you clear FACEBOOK data, you are actually clearing your user name and password. so next time u log in, u need to sign in again.
