I'm quite confused with this.  rclxub.gif
So what's the external SD card named in your phone? Also "sdcard"?
i mean like this..

8gb internal is called "Sdcard"

SD card (which we slotted in) is called "externalsd"

so any games or gps apps like Papago is needed to be install in the "sdcard"
and worst is 8gb storage only has 4gb usage.. Papago map itself already occupied 500mb-700mb
what about huge game or apps that required data up to nearly a gig?..

thats why I want to know.. how can I moved it to SD card slot... tried Apps2SD but not 100% can be moved..

about the india sgr set.. I once saw in youtube an Indian review.. that guy mocking sgr unit he reviewed..
"dont buy this.. it is not worth a penny add few bucks u can get sgs2.." he said something like that...LOL..

i'm using custom kernel.. and OC up tp 1.3ghz.. interactive mode.
daily uses.. no problem at all. gps connect very fast, gaming no problem..

but sad thing is no HDMI support such as O2X and 8MP camera..
5MP camera in SGR is quite good but no zero shutter lag..

doubt so. With the popularity of SGS2, SGR would less likely catches market attention.
*
not quite though.. right now its really hard to get non G version (GT-I9100)
and price for getting them.. is getting higher..
most of the seller are selling G version which in non preferable for a hardcore phone thingy...

maybe SGR would be second choice? it is better than O2X IMHO...memory always free up to 280MB~380MB (at least).

have you confirm the username/password is correct and.. the APN is also correct?

I got that error too when the phone was unable to detect auto APN from network.
reset everything and do it again..

I think it is originally from Android.. because I've been using Sony Ericsson, Samsung and other ROM such as CyanogenMod also the same..

do u mean when u transfered single contact with multiple number to Android.. and it seperate the contact numbers into many contact?

yes. that's what i meant. my case is that the numbers being deleted when i transferred to android. luckily, it's not a lot.
may i know how?  hmm.gif
*
I think.. all phones are the same.. u can try transfering from a Nokia's phonebook to a Sony Ericsson's phonebook.
or Sony Ericsson's phonebook to Samsung's phonebook.. or any etc..

u will get like
ABC /1
ABC /2
ABC /3
XYZ
EFG /1
EFG /2

all in seperate one.. is it like this? I think because of the CSV file format which is a bit stupid..

sure y not. copy the numbers, go to any james click edit, then click the + sign to add new number and paste it.
*
yes u can.. by a 3rd party software..

I always use MyPhonExplorer from http://www.fjsoft.at/en/
from there u can edit contact very easy.. but u still have to do one by one..

but at least.. much2 easier with a keyboard and a mouse rather than the phone right?

Hi Blackthorn,

can please let me know the best app to monitor the mobile data usage for this SGR....... and as i know the latest update firmware for SR is 2.3.6 .... but when i check with Samsung Kies and try to update through the phone its aid no updates... any idea? or i need to flash the whole ROM to get new updates?
*
Hi rascalmacho,

best app for 3g monitoring is 3gwatchdog..

for android 2.3.6 you cannot update it via KIES or auto update from the phone itself.. the 2.3.6 is not yet coming to our country officially.. but u can get stock from downloadable from XDA Dev forum and flash it via ODIN.

link to latest stock ROM 2.3.6 -->> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1372457

oh really? the '-' between numbers is set by different language? lol.. I just know that..
I'd prefers - between numbers.. coz easy to read.. hehe

bro rascal..
I also dont know what is the best Data Usage apps.. last time when I had my beloved X10.. it comes with SE standard Data Usage App. simple but kinda accurate too!..
not sure if it is compatible with other brand phones..

hmm.. anything new with SGR lately? XDA forum pun slow jer lately nih.. unsure.gif

it support HSPDA up to 21mbps and it connect G (GPRS), E (EDGE) and H (HSPDA). Mine always connected H mode on the notification bar.

FYI all Samsung phones that have front camera can use NATIVE VIDEO CALL.
which mean no need to use Packet DATA enable for this feature.

LG also can do this. but Sony Ericsson, HTC, Iphone4 and other cannot use Video call directly... EXCEPT using SKYPE, facetime, bla bla.. which use DATA

I browsed thru comments from GSMarena on the Samsung Galaxy R Review Page. There are many comments especially from Indian and Asian buyers that the phone is problematic (blank screen, hang, trouble in audio/radio/headphones).

Does anyone experience these problems here?
*
my phone so far ok jer beb..
ada la penah laggy.. but that was on 2.3.4 then updated to 2.3.5 much better..
installed custom kernel.. overclocked it 1350mhz.. no prob too!!.. batt life oso ok (18hours-24hrs)

Where can I find this phone on the market? It's very hard to find. Also I would like to know if there's any lag or crash problem as the poster above me said.

If anyone know can share their input. Thanks
*
check out previus page got some1 selling this phone...
honestly speaking.. if u r looking 100% purely problem free.. that is kinda hard..

like last 2 week.. I bought SG W original from Directd.. and after take back home.. turn on..
everything is ok.. except.. the BACK button too sensitive.. oh man.. so frustrated..
and after that gotta send to service center.. after 11 days.. collected it. they changed the Digitizer screen.

my wife oso using SG W.. when her phone using 2.3.5.. lots of problem but after updated to 2.3.6 much better..
still sometimes got lag.. but to me its depend how u use it.. if u install thousand of apps.. and hundreds are running in the background.. of coz la u got lag n crash thingy.. some more some "underground FREE apps".. it is not 100% safe to use.

oh yes.. i'm also looking for higher capacity battery..

i'm quite interested on original Samsung 2000mah Extended Battery for S2.

but the problem is Samsung did not provided back cover for Galaxy R.

but there is another 3rd party brand such as Andida http://www.mudah.my/SAMSUNG+GALAXY+R+i9103...RY-13473656.htm
