With some judicious hacking, controlled use and some luck. I've finally gotten somewhere.

3h 33m and I'm only down by 21% battery. On 3G, all notifications on, medium use. Awesome.

You're not outdated. You're running the latest official firmware for South East Asia. Your baseband and build info is correct, only your kernel is outdated (XWKE7 is UK latest official firmware). You can flash to CF-Root XWKF1 Kernel.

Yes you need to wipe if planning to move in or out from Villain.

Thanks bugeca! will be changing over to litening in a few days after i have enough of villain..

Besides installing apps like Mobile defense (no more in market), Where's My Droid, etc., is there other way to locate a lost/stolen phone?

I have experience losing my phone overseas (dropped on taxi while rushing to airport). Airport staff helped to call my numbers but the taxi driver did not pick up, so I knew I can kiss good-bye to my phone. Under such circumstances I can only cancel sim card. I didn't subscribed to Mobile Defense paid version so cannot wipe data. GPS spotted my phone but I was catching my flight back home...

When I was back, I called Samsung helpdesk and asked if they can do anything like to locate the IMEI, and they said "No, such services not available in Malaysia..."

there is a service for that. here you go

QUOTE(musclepower @ Jul 3 2011, 09:40 AM)
be prepared for
a) very short battery life
b) unnatural yellow tint
c) pink spot on photos
d) random restarts
e) weak wifi signal
f) bulging back cover

Hi benny, I just need to confirm something.

After doing a hard reset on my VillainROM, do I need to flash a stock kernel or I can immediately flash Litening?

Thanks notworthy.gif icon_rolleyes.gif

NO NEED - you only need to do such for Motorola phones or Dell phones. Just flash the new rom after you have clear Cache partition, at Advanved - clear Dalvik cache and clear data/factory reset

Thanks! notworthy.gif

good experience ah so far without SP? =) thinking of trying it
*
I've been using mine without SP for 3 days after i bought it from Maxis roadshow @ Queensbay Mall..

So far the fingerprint is quite annoying but its still quite bearable for me.. It's still naked because my Ultra Crystal and Tough case haven't arrived yet =/

dont put high hopes on the ultra crystal..it it a fingerprint magnet as well..you might want to get a matte SP instead..but sacrifice the beauty of super amoled plus brows.gif

i prefer to protect the screen from scratches and sacrifice the SP instead of getting SAMOLED+ and using matte whistling.gif

QUOTE(eolmanagement @ Jul 3 2011, 06:41 PM)
how good you people are ..... you all are using it already ..... we are still struggling and wait to get our unit ...... ooh oooh ooooooh

some people also put down their names on the Maxis list and waited. Some, like me, got it at the roadshow. Others got it from overseas/AP sellers.

What say you? doh.gif
