Performance-wise, the X5 is better than the Galaxy i9003 right? I see the galaxy quadrant score below 1000 stock, this can reach 1500 with OC. Trying to decide between the two. The 200 or so price difference is negligible.

This one reaches 1600+ in Quadrant without OC, it should be around 1800 to 2000 if OC is done.

gwsa, i dont have any wifi issue though .. everything seems pretty good .. tested my home wifi as well as office wifi everything works fine
anyone know how can we disable the shutter sound? it's kinda loud and annoying sometimes .. please share

That Galaxy i9003 like its older brother the i9000 also has lag issues.... Moreover, its graphic processor is inferior to Ideos X5.... You also get touchwiz 3.0 (which I hate) with the Galaxy i9003...
Galaxy i9003 also inherited the GPS lock issues of the i9000...
The thing is, i9000 has a official 2.3.3 Europe ROM that solves the lag and GPS.... But there is no 2.3.3 (leak or official) for the i9003..
Dump the Galaxy i9003 get the Ideos X5!

Any one using antivirus ? which one is better...need some opinions here, first time android user
Btw, my wifi working fine...battery also last long when I turn off gps and wifi.

Ya...received first MMS last night. 3G also working fine, I didn't do any setting, just turn on "Wirelees & network - Mobile networks - Data enabled" then can browsing without wifi.

Added on June 3, 2011, 10:34 pmHi. I have this file .android_secure.exe (on the root of the internal 2Gb flash ram)detected with infected worm by avgfree on my PC. There is no fix option.

Can the file be deleted? What is the purpose of that file? Anyone here having the same file? Pls. Advise on what should I do.

TQ

Well, i suppose all android phone would have this android_secure on root of phone's ROM, some antivirus just recognized exe file as virus or something, doesnt show as virus on my pc though, my advise leave it be.

hey bro.. u got root yr phone?

Nope, at stock rom, kinda waiting for CM7

Thanks for the info!

@deftons

Thanks for the feedbacks. Btw any issue found in this found?

Dude, I think its a false positive.... AVG is very good at catching non-virus as virus/worm/threat....
This is called false positive.... Use Avast free if you are running AVG free.... Less false positive...

Added on June 4, 2011, 9:35 amBut with Ideos X5, you get a smaller screen (only .2" smaller), no front facing camera.... But if you don't care about 3G video call and Tango, then forget about the front facing camera... I had a 3G phone and never ever ever used the video call....

Added on June 4, 2011, 9:37 amI used to use "Lookout" on my Galaxy Ace..... If you want to actually buy that app, DON'T. Use the free version (anti virus + disable other features) + Wavesecure (not free but superior but no anti virus)

hey guys... is antivirus software really that important for phone?
not say we use our phone for online transaction/etc, rite..

The X 5 only can play youtube video on facebook?
The original Facebook video cannot play?
any solution for this?
Thanks for help.

Well, not really lar.... Just to check malicious apps whether u accidentally install.... Btw, Lookout is a on demand scanner... It does not really provide real time protection....

Added on June 4, 2011, 10:23 amI would say antivirus are still immature on android platform, work kinda like some file manager, scan every files that u download, transfer and received as end up cause higher battery drain and lagness in system.

Anyone tried using Papago X5 on the X5? Or any other GPS nav software? How is the satellite lock compared to other phones? Fast?

20 Cell Phones With Least Radiation

Apparently Gizmodo ranks the Ideos X5 as the number 5 phone with the least amount of radiation. Yay for lower cancerous cells!

As for those who are worried about battery life, use the Power Control widget and disable wifi/gps/background syncing/auto-brightness when you dont need it. For even more control, try using JuiceDefender that can automatically help reduce battery usage as you use the phone. For power users who have rooted the phone, use SetCPU for minute control over your CPU cycles. I use the ondemand profile when im running on battery, and the powersave profile when the screen is turned off. Helps me so far. Also, try not to use task managers. Turns out, if you keep killing tasks that you frequently use but dont need at that moment, Android actually uses more CPU cycles and battery power to run it again when you need it later. Leave the managing to Android, that's why it's voted as the best OS with multitasking ablities compared to iOS and others

BTW i have updated the owner's list, if anyone is left out please post or PM me. Been busy this past few days, so much to do lol
