Thanks gmhafiz for the new thread. Yeah i agree on the battery life so far on JVH, seems like at least 50% better compared to when i was on Froyo

On stock jvh, encountered prob playing video with mobo, it closes after playing for a while. Damn, on trip now but can watch show. Wanna read pdf then Think office need to activate, I'm on wifi but it says no network. Don't face this problem on froyo. Is it just me or gb on sgs still not stable? So disappointed :-(

it can disabled at the camera setting. Go to setting then click on the spanner tab and its there for u to change to no sound. happy upskirt picture taking

then u should upgrade to 2.3.3 JVH/JVO

btw anyone flashed to the latest JVO yet? what is the difference compared to JVH? since the build date is the same, i suspect there is much difference. the batt drain bug is still my biggest concern, other than that no complaints about JVH

europe (I9000XXJVO), i believe JV9 is for Vodafone or something like that, someone mentioned before. let us know the performance of JVO, im on JVH and the battery drain problem still exist occasionally.

follow instructions for flashing GB on first page. if not you can check the comments on xda. i followed the instructions and did not face any issues. once you try and get it, flashing will be very easy

it depends on ur budget, if u got $$ then wait for SGS2. as for what tweaks is required, it also depends on ur needs. for me im running gingerbread jvh and i find it smooth enough, i was in kl earlier looking for a place in desa pandan, damn the gps is much faster on GB. but if u have high requirement on screen, then i will definitely suggest this fon to u, its one of the best. of cos, if u have problem, many sifu here can help u out ;-)

I use SMS & Backup which can be found in the Market, works well for me, very simple to use and its free

i think samsung centre will not recognise any AP set, i mean correct me if i'm wrong but AP set does mean the set is brought in illegally right? as i know, AP set is only under warranty by the company that brings it in, u can check back with the shop you bought it from. you can still fix it at samsung centre but u have to know its not under warranty and u need to pay full amount for any fixing required. btw, what's wrong with your phone?

i can answer that, so that the authorities can track and spy on every single person on this planet one day. even on FB, its a good tool to track and see what we are up to, for us we just think FB is a fun thing. but of course they use the whole terror reasoning as an excuse to track everyone but in reality, the authorities want to keep a check on all of us. this is all in tune with the ultimate goal of global governance which is currently taking place. google "New World Order" and judge for yourself. tell me who controls the way we think. of cos most people are just gonna call me a conspiracy theorist. all about perception i guess, only time will tell.

sorry for the of topic. but sifu kmrdeva positive reasoning does make sense as well, its good to be positive but not all the time

Good thinking, thats why ur a sifu

the question you should ask is, who supplies LCD to Iphone. the reason iphone price are high is because they source most of their parts from competitors. there is a reason SGS II is priced lower than SGS last year and there is a reason IP5 launch is delayed. they obviously have a tough time deciding the price of the IP5. i admit the iphone OS is smooth and very user friendly, that is the reason their phone is selling well, also they have superior marketing strategy, where iphone now becomes a household name. but i believe android OS will continue to improve and we can see the improvement from Eclair to Froyo and now GB. plus android users have the option to customise and flash new firmware version when available. for me, i like this flexibilty. i can use a usb cable from any android phone or even BB to charge my phone but cant say the same for IP4.

but i guess, end of the say, as have been mentioned here numerous times by some of the members here, its all up to individual what is their needs to decide which phone is best for you. SGS do have a lot of problems in the beginning but i notice improvements after almost a year of using it and i believe it can still continue to improve whereas IP4 perfromance will be constant, though to be fair, to start off with they have a good OS.

im also quite curious about the specs of IP5, the 3.5" on the IP4 is quite disappointing to me cos screen requirement is my biggest factor in choosing a phone (i might even switch to SGS II when my current contract expires in July).

to sum it up, i believe IP5 screen will be larger than the current 3.5" on the IP4 but the way i look at it, cost is the biggest factor as Samsung and LG are one of the worlds largest manufacturer of LCD.

P/S: did u know IP4 camera module is manufactured in our own backyard......in Klang?? hehe

i think almost everyone here tried official europe GB rom and they also customise it. im using JVH and so far so good. what i would like to know is if anyone tried latest Asian official ROM JV6. i wonder how that feels. might flash to that this weekend

come on guys, he's not an apple fan, to be fair, he still owns a SGS, its just that the performance is just not up to his expectations compared to Iphone. its his opinion and we should respect it. we are not here to argue which phone is the best but to give opinions.

however, i do not agree with his perception that IP4 lotsa people line up and all. to me the reason for that is Apple has only IP4, whereas Android has LG/Samsung/HTC/CSL/ASUS/Motorola etc. so it is not a fair comparison. a fairer comparison would be the number of sales of IP4 against Android phones.

really? 3mil pre-orders?? wow. not surprised though, i heard LYN someone selling SGS2 and the list have reached almost 100 or could it be more by now. im just waiting for Maxis to launch it so i can get it under the plan at a cheaper price. i heard SGS2 will retail cheaper than SGS when it was luanched last year.

we usually have technical discussions on SGS and Iphone bit*hing here, if you wanna know pricing of phones, check out Garage Sales section, i believe the price is quite competitive for SGS around 1.2k.

yup just tried, both back and menu (settings pop up) key vibrates when pressed. most likely u need to do factory reset to see if that will solve your problem. or flash to something new? wat rom r u using?

Just checked mine, it says 41% Used by Maps but i never turn on Maps the past 1 week!! think i better restart the phone. the battery drain comes on and off, really annoying.

i think flashing using ODIN can solve ur problem, go read the 1st page of this thread, all the info is there for you to flash using ODIN. read it twice and if u still dont understand you can ask ur questions here. first step is try to go into download mode, press power+home+volume down button at the same time, the phone should go into download mode, if you can get that then u can flash using ODIN.

u can get ODIN from samfirmware.com and the GB files of your choice. when i flash to GB, i didnt use PIT, follow the instructions on page 1 on how to flash to GB, if u follow the step it is quite straight forward

u should ask the person ur buying from whether he bought it as an AP set or ori from Samsung. cant help u much on this. no way of telling warranty period unless its an ori set whereby u can go check the serial number with Samsung Service Centre on the warranty period. thats the problem with buying AP sets cos only the company that u bought it from can claim the warranty.

to check 8Gb or 16Gb, go to Settings and select SD card and phone storage. In there you can see under USB storage what is the size of the internal memory card, mine is a 16Gb but it shows 13.43Gb cos i assume the balance is used for the OS etc. Hope this answers ur hard question
