i wanna pengsan...

i just had my first phone hang... *sigh*

phone was in pocket when i felt a bit warm... so check and there was incoming call. tried to swipe to answer... not working.'

dunno what happened, the call got into 'background'. i see a green phone icon on top left. tried to pull down the top menu/ task bar thingy, and it won't register my touch. press power button to put screen to sleep and then wake it... still screen not registering my touches.

power down and power up... check call logs. the call was not registered. i m sure it was not from unknown number as i saw a number when the call first came in.

not a good sign if phone can't be stable as a phone. still, this incident has not dented my impression of the phone. i will just consider it as one off thingy... but just sharing with you guys.

updated: using ori sammy rom (stock rom). phone not rooted.

Added on July 20, 2011, 1:26 pmalso posted on Samsung FB page (Samsung Universe or sth like that) to feedback about not being able to launch camera when battery level is 15% or lower. asked them to remove the limit since Android is all about freedom of choice. if i wanted the phone to dictate what i can do with it, i would have opted for a fruit instead.

surprised there was a reply... but it was of course a SOP reply -- tq for the feedback and we will forward to the team.

Added on July 20, 2011, 1:28 pmfor those who installed Gun Bros... dun you find it funny that the apps requires permission to start up the process/ service when the phone starts up? i was kinda annoyed by that requirement coz after all, its just a game and i dun see why it needs to start up when i m not even playing it.

so, i uninstalled it. would have been nice... but its not a must have apps for me. i'd rather uninstall it and look for other apps/ games.

i went to check their permission request on Market, yes, they do ask for it.

the thing is... i won't have noticed it if i didn't accidentally run the Running Service. that's when i first noticed why Gun Bros was running.

it won't prompt or even let us know that it's started in the background. if you restart your phone, it will just load up without you knowing.

and it won't show up as running applications.

nar, for me... its not about battery. but i just dun need it to collect any data and send back to somewhere... call me paranoid or what... but i just dun see why a game needs to do that.

plus, i was also annoyed they started to recently shove that FB login page each time i start the apps. worse... the FB page appears in Malay -- how to change default to English ar? it just sounds funny when i'm prompted to login to FB in Malay... lol.

z is supposedly a budget version. got separate thread for it.

i noticed...
#1 we can't set wallpaper to single colour like just plain black.
#2 most lifve wallpaper is really live. more like just animated. anyone found any good and real live wallpapers that is also interactive?

was playing zenonia 3 but noticed the buttons can sometimes get 'pressed' even though my fingers are no where near the buttons.

downloaded children of inotia on my Asus Transformer and it looks good. will be downloading it to my phone later...

honestly, i'm a bit puzzled. but i dun really care la about comparing how long batteries can last. i accepted the fact i will need to charge the phone everyday and ideally, the phone plugged in when in office.

on a typical day... the phone can last about 16hrs with maybe 10% battery remaining. tweetdeck set to refresh every 15mins (though sometimes dunno why it does not refresh until i do a manual one). then there's usually about 10 sms. 2-3 calls. 15mins gaming. surfing and reading news -- usually abt 30mins in total or there about. plus gmail and gtalk messaging (2-3 messages).

ya, i get that once in a while. i suspect in the 3g case, it could be carrier/ network issue.

but i've also experienced this on wifi. need to off and on before data comes thru again. this one... i suspect more of a phone thingy. i posted before but no one answered. so thought maybe just unlucky me.

i m on digi. but again, for 3g, i do sometimes suspect more the network than phone coz i'm usually in the building/ office. so could be weaker signal, inteference, etc...

but wifi... i noticed that at one time when i had power saving function on. i'm still monitoring it and have turned off power saving.

just checking... those who got the headset freebies from SEP 1U (model should be HM1100), the headset dun allow you to listen to music or games, right? i paired and only time i can use that headset is when i call. when playing music or games, no sound.

noticed this warning on some apps:
** Note to Samsung Users - some "Galaxy S" devices cannot download this app due to its size exceeding 30mb. Please be aware of your device's limitations before attempting to purchase. For info on this and all other installation issues, visit our FAQ: www.mikamobile.com/droid_faq.html **

does it apply to sgs2?

the FAQ mentioned of earlier OS and specifically SGS1, so i guess it's ok for sgs2, right? no such limit problem on sgs2, correct?

+1,000,000,000...

depending on who you ask... some will tell you radiation from phone is negligible.

plus, some have the phone in pants pocket, which is closer to... and that one also no different...

WHO was careful when they recently mentioned that there's a possibility... but then shortly after that, another paper that came out to say it is negligible. its basically non-conclusive. however, i personally prefer not to take the risk...

as for using a gadget to determine one's sleep pattern, honestly, its another subjective thing again. either you believe or you dun. and i dun...

hmmmm... my screen colours just went haywire on me and gave me some bluish and redish tint... disabled and re-enabled the ambient.sensors, all ok. hmmmm....

did you manage to get the unit changed due to the deadpixel? please share...

honestly, i think the deadpixel guideline normally applies to bigger screens like TV and monitors. it should not apply to small screens like mobile phones. do share with us what happened for your case. we're curious to know...


digi selling sgs2 now?!?


i asked this before too... had similar problems... but dun think i saw a reply...
did you manage to check on the BT profiles available? i only had PHONE profile.

ah... just saw a reply abt BT. i guess that free BT dun have this A2DP.

ya, courts... i saw their ad sometime last week... i was thinking... wah, everyone wants to sell sgs2.

its there's one general complain i have abt android... its the 'file system' and how apps are creating folders all over the place. just wished android os had something like "program folder" where all apps install inside that folder...

i'm just wondering if i can move the folders without breaking the apps.
