3G network, wifi and heavy gaming will drain your battery faster...

Yea I read around and use 2G settings and no wifi anymore, keeping it light. I'm new to Android also.
I wonder are they any volume profile settings in stock instead of getting a widget?

if you are talking about android market. there's and android market on your phone and you can dl apps form there. from pc you just need to have a gmail account. no need to install any software to transfer apps you dl from your PC. it will send it to your phone.

and be aware that if you enable data packet 24/7 and your not using wifi. your data usage will be charge. just a reminder.

like I posted before. just change both your APN type to MMS. you will only use data when send/received MMS and only normal MMS charges apply but remember to enable data packet.

if slight gaming and a few calls/sms....can last up to 4 days
If moderate use of gaming, calls/sms and some 3g/wifi......2-3 days
if heavy 3g/wifi/gaming/calls/sms.......1 day or less sad.gif
*
Wow 4 days that is a good...
I just got my phone few days, haven't test out how long it can last.

I had issue on messaging where I can't set the contact view to phone only, it will default mix up both SIM card and phone, so I had to bring all the contact to 1 place or else I will get repeating contacts.

Make sure your router has DHCP enabled, if not you need to manually set the IP address using static IP.
If got DHCP still won't work, restart your router and try again.

Hi all, i have a problem regarding my internet connection using fix ip(static) at my office...can connected but cant browse. In public wifi (dynamic ip) it can be use/connect/browse. Please help me if any setting have. Already tick at IP STATIC in my wifi setting on my Galaxy Ace.
*
At office you set it to static ip, when go public wifi, you uncheck the static ip to have it work.
If using static ip, make sure everything are set....ip, gateway, subnet mask, dns 1.

Since DHCP server is enabled, there is no need to manually configure your phone to get internet.

This could be your office router has security features running on, means that not allow other unknown device to connect and use the internet.

If no try check out is that router has DHCP enabled or not, check the router is link to the modem or not also.

Yea stock gingerbread 2.3.4, no mod at all....
I was try to test out how is the battery life on my normal usage, and it actually impressed me coz most of the time I heard smartphone battery life is short and have to charge everyday, and that always bug me not to get a smartphone. laugh.gif

Before testing out i actually try to discharge the battery from 30 to auto shutdown, it took me about 40mins of playing angry bird rio and with wifi turned on, quite satisfy me....

So I had thought of an idea to increase standby time....using sunglobal battery and then recalibrate the battery level again.

eat more ram?  sweat.gif

is it worth an upgrade?
which firmware i need to use?
*
Not to worry about the RAM actually, just make sure you didn't use phone hogging applications then it'll be good.
I had mine working fine, had 180mb or below of ram usage after removed the hogging apps. biggrin.gif

so, anyone have regrets here that galaxy w didn't come earlier? Or are u satisfied with your Galaxy Ace?

To my knowledge, SGW advantages over SGA are

    * 1.4Ghz processor over 800Mhz
    * 3.7" over 3.5"
    * 720p video recording instead VGA
On the other sides SGA advantages are

    * Gorilla Glass LCD
    * Many accessories with cheap price
    * Handset cheap by rm200.

Any want to add more? rclxms.gif
*
Me light user and had tight budget, so Galaxy Ace is more than enough for me.
If you need performance, get Galaxy W. biggrin.gif

I'm no gamer, i play angry birds occasionally,  I don't like to watch video in these little screen also.
Do u think I'll regret if I go for SGA instead of SGW? Have u ever wish that SGW come earlier? I remember SGA launched price was above rm900.
*
Better you go for SGW if you play angry birds, stock SGA cannot fully smooth when play angry birds, but people said modded firmware will go smooth.

You'll regret only when you need for speed, like reading pdf, watch high quality videos, want smooth scrolling for every part.
