I just got a unit and enjoying the experience. I'm a smartphone noob so there's lots i have yet to discover.

Can someone show me how i can access the SD card from my desktop pc? I connected the 410 to my desktop using the micro-USB cable. In explorer, I could only see directory named "RUT" ... that's the onboard memory, not the SD card?

Another thing is battery consumption. I installed Easy Battery Saver (super saving mode) but the battery still lasts less than half a day even on standby mode most of the time. Can someone explain what drains the batteries? Any tips to make it last longer is appreciated

thanks

Not sure whether you did this, but you have to enable storage on your phone before you can access the sd card in your phone.

Try flashing a custom rom, I am using Maclite and the battery life is quite good, quite minimal usage can last about 2-3 days. RC2 fares well too, but I notice a bit more of battery consumption though.
You can flash directly to RC3, no matter where you are from, same goes to RC1 too because there are in .nb0 file and it will flash your kernel automatically using SUT.

So go to RC3 first then flash the zip file to ICS4.0

For the phone mounted SD card access from PC, I found this solution that works >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.p...343&postcount=1

The apps is quite useless to be frank..
you should use another stock rom such as Welcom ROM but it is version 2.2 you could try step-by step guide at 1st page...
stock CSL is really a battery drainer...if not try to do battery calibration i don't know if that helps or not...get the battery calibration app from the Google Play Store..
about the sd card if i'm not mistaken when you connect the cable to your phone you should get a notification and then there is an option to read the sd card..

thanks for chipping in ... nope there's no option to read the SD card ... only shows the RUT directory with 2 subdirectories containing Android drivers

I just figured out the following details about my phone:

android version ... 2.3.4
baseband version ... PR232
Kernel version ... Apps_2.6.32.9_perf
Build number ... 5012_3_18D

Are these versions good enough?

btw, how do i take a screenshot of the phone's screen? hehe lazy to re-type those details

HarshRalf ... how do i know what ROM I have on my phone?
