hi Benny & All
I'm new to this forum, also new to Android-land. Just yesterday bought a Galaxy Tab 7 inch. Took it home, played a bit today (cuz cant go out anywhere , right) and I have the following issue:

1. the screen kind of changes from bright to dim, by itself every now & then. i thought it was something to do with the light sensor > maybe when my hand blocks the light sensor, the screen gets dimmer? anyone else experience this?

2. How to do the personalisation on the opening screen ... where is says This phone belongs to ....? I've looked thru all the settings, etc, cannot find that.

3. Although my time is set correctly (I can see the correct time at the top right corner), in the World Clock, if I set one for KL, I get the wrong time. Why?

4. I also got a 16GB SD Card ... but when I try to read the card in my PC via the SD adaptor, I get a mesg saying the card is not formatted. Neither can I format the card on the PC.

5. I then tried to connect the Tab to my laptop. Again I get an error saying cannot connect. What am I doing wrong?

PLEASE, can someone help.

Bought the card at Low Yat one of the booths. Apacer 16GB. Together with the SGT. They loaded some stuff on it. But I cannot see it on the PC. havent yet checked it on the SGT itself.

Hmmmm... seems like all the sifus here only talking about customising and updating this & that! We newbies no one wana answer... I asked some simple starter questions, and they havent been answered?

Or is there another forum thread I shud ask simple questions in? Please guide me. Tx.

I like your last part ;-)

Both my posts above said the magic word "Please" ... is there something I missed?

Thanx Shinzan and any other sifu who'd like to out ;-)

Understand there is a micro-SD card to USB conversion device. Where to get it and how much?

Anyone know where to get the micro-SD card to USB conversion device? how much?

I'm also facing similar probs ... my fully charged battery seem to last about 1.5 days with lil' bit of use now & then (mainly email checking 3G, a little browing, most of the time just stand-by only). My tab is about 3-4 weeks old, using Celcom broadband service.
