super clear lcd u get brighter screen, sacrificing contrast which super amoled have the upper hand on this

and as to why the graphic chipset is not as good as galaxy s

simply bcoz galaxy sl is meant to be a cheaper version, budget user phone

not a replacement phone of galaxy s wink.gif

Hey man, so what is your thought about XXKPH? Better than KPE? Want to hear your thoughts about our new ROM, and don't copy and paste from either misledz or spacebar feedbacks, hehe. I'm still waiting for a stable CWM or CF-Root release before flashing the new ROM.

LoL..actually their feedbacks are most accurate in that forum..as for me, XXKPH is just like XXKPE..nothing is new, still no UI enhancement like CRT, overscroll effect etc..Hmm performance is slightly better..battery i think last long, camera shots improve in the dark/gps working fast, no kernel panic issues for now(but u may experiencing auto restart in un-compatible apps eg. adfree, superuser, CWM manager and so on..the good news from this is no need to pullout the battery).Not so sure about play video issue (eg mkv). The only thing i didn't try is vanilla CWM as i already applied the CF-Root..so what do u think..interested to flash? hehe Owh one think i forgot, Nama customrom will be release this week for XXKPH n for XXKPE u still got a chance to test UltimateSL customrom by Rex..hmmm thats all from me smile.gif

Wow, thanks for the detailed feedback man biggrin.gif So tempted to flash KPH now, haha. Just doesn't want to sacrifice all my theme and mods that I have applied for my KPE (eventhough there is Nandroid and I also heard that KPE theme is compatible with KPH, you have tested it?) I think I'll just stay with KPE for a while until the devs have ported some more themes and either Nama or rex have complete and delivered their custom ROMs for KPH. Thanks again and enjoy your GB phone man tongue.gif

still facing crazy batt issue. i confirm checck wifi, BT, no app runnning...etc all off and even put under airplane mode

check batt = 40%, 8hrs later (woke up) - 2% left, this happens once a while on/off

sometimes, only 1% drop

how official GB will help solve this

xiaomi? seriously??
why not just go for galaxy s II?
2.3 gingerbread as stock rom d, no need modify anything

about your battery problem, i think you might have got a defective model
try send for warranty to get it checked
mine drops 5% over flight mode at night, just like Dannyl
the only thing bothers me is occasional hang after roughly 1 week of use

i don't think it's defective cos sometimes it's OK...as mentioned sometimes over night it drops 1%.

i believe some apps are still running at b\ground as cannot kill from the "front"

i read other people's comments - they too face issue - batt goes down fast

i too can say your hang issue is a defective unit smile.gif no offence

i don't think it's defective cos sometimes it's OK...as mentioned sometimes over night it drops 1%.

I rather hang than have my battery dried off for no reason (no offense too) rclxms.gif

Try "Quick system info"? There's a quick task killer widget implemented
It helps to kill all tasks in the background with just a press of a button
Showing a message like "22 tasks ended, 0 ignored" (for example) and the ram would come back
most task killer kill tasks but not entirely shakehead.gif

I try my best to help
By far I'm satisfied with this app

1) Go to Andoid Market
2) Search for "Quick system info PRO" by Shawn Q. and it's FREE
3) Install
4) This app should start up automatically, try OFF it with the stock task killer in "settings" (because it diagnoses your system and showing realtime info which would stress your CPU and thus battery life will be affected)
5) Go to your favourite main menu, long press and Add to screen > Widget > scroll down until you see "Quick Task Killer"
6) It prompts to use "opaque" or "transparent" effect (set according to your liking)
7) A small box with "X" mark now appears on your main menu
8) Click it to end all your tasks, then check your ram amount with your prefered program (I use GO Launcher EX)

Voila
There will still be some task popping out, but those are original Android system programs which are inevitable
and some of the apps like "juice defender", "quick system info", "pesoguin clock lite" (for example) will still be on because you are using it all the time
However, those apps that you have opened temporary like internet, gallery, facebook, games and won't be using anymore will be ended
Do try and let me know whether you like it smile.gif

New phone (new battery) tends to last longer the more you used them. google around.

Last time my phone can't even last for 8 hours. Now it can last double the duration and longer.

still facing crazy batt issue. i confirm checck wifi, BT, no app runnning...etc all off and even put under airplane mode

check batt = 40%, 8hrs later (woke up) - 2% left, this happens once a while on/off

sometimes, only 1% drop

how official GB will help solve this

think no more smartphone for me , but eyeing on:

try to fully discharged your battery once and fully recharged it.

means, used until it switched off, then charge it until 100%

somehow I can get better battery life for idling

2.3 supposedly has better power management so you can expect better battery life. So, everyday plug into PC and check Kies, and announce here when 2.3 is available, ok? smile.gif

do u guys experience a little but noticeable lag on this phone..?
i always compare this phone to an iphone...and notice that it is not quite smooth as iphone does even the specs are quite the same...
its lag even on the interface...
ever heard of lag fix?
is it worth it to use?...how helpful is it..?
i saw a video on utube showing the result after installing lag fix...quite tremendous..
but on the downside i heard that it is quite tricky to get rid of it and can be quite buggy..

Galaxy SL does have a significant lag on some interface, but I don't think this is problem for me XD so I don't care abt lag fix.

heard that GB is lesser latency problem then Froyo, let's wait this shite out first and see XD

use almost any other 3rd party launcher like Go Launcher, ADW or launcher pro and most lag will be gone.

Really don't like TW launcher at all. And the funny thing is, TW launcher is the major cause of patent infringement with Apple!

I notice the same thing too with Go Launcher.

So far for me, Launcher Pro Plus (paid) is the only one offering smooth scrolling in both homescreen AND app drawer.

ADW launcher almost did it but homescreen also not smooth.

spb shell sure will be more lag coz for d 3d effect, mayb a dualcore phone can play well with it...



go launcher is good for ppl who love different effect and theme then sure is great (can change any icon style u love on home screen icon_rolleyes.gif ), and if look for smoother ui then is launcher pro free version....... but still nt 100% smooth

I love the colourful icons of TouchWiz and yet like GO's customisability. Luckily I found this theme, it makes the GO icons look like TouchWiz icons laugh.gif
after hiding GO's app drawer tabs, it's perfect!

launcher pro is free, plus is paid with a few extra widgets only. I get it just to avoid some nagging lol.

the free version is good if you don't encounter the 'please pay me' nagging when doing some non-routine stuff which i do routinely tongue.gif

Go launcher is also very good, only that there is no option for column x row adjustment in app drawer.

To each his own is what I can say....one man's launcher is another man's poison!


On a side note, I just want to make correction here that Papago X5 Thai will ALSO force close when navigating with sound. (Cantonese and English).

I'm wondering if GB will have any changes cos for me voice navi is quite important...

I just tried Sygic Aura, the mapping and navigation algorithm totally sucks!

Hi,

Your battery pack may be physically degraded if overcharged / exposed to high temperatures or it may be even defective from the factory.

You can just invest in a spare batt for RM30-50 for a try, I think its worth it to spend 5% of the phone trying to fix it.

Without wifi and 3G, I can end up with 70+ % after 12hrs standby.

fully charged? i tried idle without 3G/wifi, sometime only drained up not over than 20%, but sometime it fast like hell...

Go launcher that top 3 "sorting" icons? you mean in the app drawer, the "all", "recent used" and "running"?

If you are talking about that tabs, it can be hide in the setting in app drawer

Go launcher that top 3 "sorting" icons? you mean in the app drawer, the "all", "recent used" and "running"?

If you are talking about that tabs, it can be hide in the setting in app drawer

Yes, as terrence says, it can be hidden with the latest versions of GO Launcher. More space for our icons now! biggrin.gif

Any card also can. Lowyat selling rm20 for 4gb and rm35 for 8gb. Sandisk, Kingston, Transcend. I got a Transcend 8gb class 4. Why Transcend? Less chances of fake... I hope tongue.gif

@mVd, since you have flashed to kph, have u converted file system to ext4 as well?
which link / zip file / guide you followed?

cheers.
*
yes i have converted to ext4, i assume u also already flash KPH rite?
first u should have cwm working in ur system or u can use cf-root aswell (built-in cwm inside);make sure to download a latest one bcoz of ext4 support
then u can proceed to ext4 conversion, actually the guide is still the same since KPE

HOW TO:
- Install the latest CWM with EXT4 support;
- download the ext4 script(.zip) n put into ur sdcard; link:- http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment...75&d=1312273078
- reboot into recovery mode (vol up + home + power) and do a full backup with nandroid;
- browse n select the the ext4 script in ur sdcard (DO NOT REBOOT AFTER THIS STEP!!!!);
- restore backup.
- reboot
*don't proceed if u dont understand bcoz u'll end up re-flashing if something goes wrong*
full guide referrence:- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1198158

I think it's a good price. I got mine last month for RM850, a 3-month old Sen Heng 1+2 years warranty fullset, need to replace the back cover and buy my own memory card.

Sen Heng units are original SME units with 2 extra years warranty by Sen Heng itself, if I'm not wrong. My previous warranty claim for Ace at Plaza Berjaya requires nothing other than the phone (they check the IMEI), but please bring the receipt in case the IMEI is not registered.

Samsung knows themselves that Kies is unstable and they did mention Samsung stuff and Windows are not so compatible in terms of application

its true that Kies is not the best tool to update.

My last try on Galaxy Ace was unsuccessful and very scary cos it hung.

Brought it to the service center, they also told me not to use kies.

yeah flashed to kph, but i think i screwed up the ext4 conversion somehow, even after following the steps in xda. most of the apps work fine, but the camera didn't work, so i ended up flashing kph again and only applied the cwm root. now still using the rfs file sys smile.gif

mine happen frequently when i just got it, about 2-3 times per week, sometime per day. after 2-3 month usage it didnt happen anymore.

however it can be turned on by pressing the on off button, only sometime need to remove the battery.

i read somewhere use setcpu and set processor to higher clock speed when idle, however the problem still there when i set mine higher last time.

Are you using this guide? Remember to unmount your SD card. I rooted again just now, it kept hanging at 'waiting for device'. Finally made it after I reinstalled drivers from Kies.

actually if your phone hang or like turn off ie black screen...no need to remove battery...

the function is somewhat similar to IPHONE....press the off button (on your right side) for a few seconds....then it will auto reboot....

happens a lot with the ace.
With my SL its a lot rarer. Somehow I believe most recent Samsung phones will have this. To certain extent i believe this is a android problem. According to my own theory its due my router. If you want to try, reset your router as often as possible.

happens a lot with the ace.
With my SL its a lot rarer. Somehow I believe most recent Samsung phones will have this. To certain extent i believe this is a android problem. According to my own theory its due my router. If you want to try, reset your router as often as possible.

Can't be Android problem lah... my old SE X10 and HTC Legend never shut down by itself. Must be a Samsung problem.

Yes correct.  Then after launch SOC, click on 'root' button (can't see gingerbreak).  Mine is SOC v2.1.1.

erm i used 2.1.1 too wor. look at the top right corner. there's this drop down menu call "exploit" we get to choose auto, gingerbreak..etc. i followed the instruction posted in the first page though. then i try rooting again yesterday. it moves..but in the end, there write "failed"

Been thr before,
no matter what have done, the GPS is still unable to lock. I think official dxkb2 ROM is having a screwed GPS driver
the only way to solve this for me is to flash it to other ROM like xxkb3(froyo) or the newer gingerbread (XXKPH).. since u not going to root then i also assume u not going to flash it either.. so try to live with it until samsung MY releases the GB update.. wait wait wait wait...

In that case, I used Auto. Make sure debugging ticked, SD card unmounted, drivers installed. My Wireless and networks > USB connection is set to 'ask on connection'. Plug in phone (wait and see if Windows installs any drivers) and click root.

GPS totally unpredictable. The other night I drove until arrived at the destination and it never locked. This morning I got a lock in mere seconds. Sigh.

EDIT:
Seems like my SL can't play 1280x720 MP4 files smoothly with MoboPlayer. The video lags. How about you guys?
Found the problem. SL cannot play nicely 720p files encoded in AVC/H264.

No need to Google so hard lah. Their case may be user problem. My case is definitely Samsung problem since I have the same usage for all 4 phones and the issue only occurred on the 2 Samsungs.

I wanted this (let's call it SP 1), bought it from eBay:

When it arrived, it was SP 2 doh.gif :

While waiting for it to arrive, I bought another one from LYN seller, next day delivery (don't want to leave the screen naked), SP 2 above.
When it arrived, it was SP 3 doh.gif

So in the end, never got my SP 1 with the most protection sad.gif

LYP all sells SP 3 only, RM15.

Got a matte black battery cover. Now my 2nd-hand SL looks as good as new smile.gif

Wanted a Nillkin hard case but at RM60, it's beyond my budget sad.gif

Rooting itself does nothing, it only allows you full access to your /system folder. For me, with root access, I remove the stock ringtones which I don't like, stock apps which I don't use (even the Browser), install apps like Font Change (change to any TTF fonts easily) and Titanium Backup (full backup of apps, example those games which you played for so long and when flash firmware, all gone). Can remove those startup sound, animation, etc.

Hi all,

My gf SL suddenly turn off itself when it was in sleepmode.

Need to take off the battery and put it back on so that it can turn on again.

Anyone have this problem? any solution?

thanks.

I have this problem too.

2 things you can try: Change ur wifi encryption to WEP or install an app called Captivate keep alive.

I've been doing both and so far the last 4 nites no problem yet.

Update : SOD on 5th nite. Found out that Captivate keep alive didn't work previously when plugged in. Will now manually trigger it when plugged in to see the effect. Almost at the point of giving up and using a real alarm clock, something that was obsoleted decades ago.

Help~~ i tried to swap my internal and external sd just now. after following all the steps, i cant see my internal and external storage. then i tried the ADB method from xda forum. not working too. then i hard reset my phone.. anyone swap successful?

okay something weird happened. after i reset. the storage is successfully swapped. but then.. after i transfer stuff into the sd. the phone cant detect both the internal and external sd anymore. it shows 0.00/0.00B.

dont know how to save it. even after hard reset still not revert back to original.

and oh, i asked Penang samsung center last saturday, they say its not out yet. and dont know when will it be out. The girl say we can FB Samsung and bug them there.. -.-

Before swapping. just make sure ur microsd card file system is : FAT32. I think it shouldnt have any problem.
If it really does. U can just easily flash back to ur original rom.

anyway what brand is ur microsd and class?

hi fellas, i encountered a problem with my phone shutting off itself no reason.

so far, the problem occured when i put in on the table. when i press the On button, nothing appears and i feel a few vibrations up to 1.5 seconds.
battery level was still ok though.

after that i needed to turn On the phone to get it to work.

im confident i didnt put the phone so hard that the battery got loose, because there was a vibration while pressing the button.

has anyone encountered this problem?

pressed the button once, to access the phone. no response. then i felt the vibration.

there was no indication on screen whatsoever, multiple presses on the button gave nothing until i had to restart it.

so i cant tell if it was an app crashing....

what about try listing them out?

There is only once that my phone doesnt response,until i hold the power button until it restart. That was last monday or last last monday,and i think is cause by adobe reader.

hmm... very subjective to say is it really worth anot.u try s+ or s,u will know the diff of our sl.unless u are techie at root n custom ur own phone,which i'm not.
thought b4 to root n do sd card swapping(for papago n hd games,memory 2gb who will like??),but no point to do it in froyo,so i wait to upgrade gb asia version adi only do it,wait until now since news say injune,july,august,sept..upcoming adi oct.

with s+ price from 1599 until now 1300 or lower abit,it is very tempting to trade-in n top up get 1.4ghz n 8gb(5gb left only tongue.gif ) sd storage,android 2.3... after use for a day,i c the gps(detected 2 satelites in 5-15sec) and battery are improve,less heat up compare to sl.speedier to loading apps.other not much diff from UI.
however,amoled very cartoonish at the color n bright even set brightness to lowest,i prefer that SL sc-lcd look much natural,like it drool.gif

by the way,new market are slow to load n dl apps... shakehead.gif

yea, nonstopps3 is right.

but then ar. for those who like modding.i think better not. Because galaxy s+ is a new phone. again u have to wait for ppl to port theme and make custom rom. like how we wait last time.

so i think for those who not planning to root and wan to leave everything to stock. or only plan to root and changing theme/ use custom rom in future(mean not now). can consider about changing to s+

my 2 cents.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Heyyyyy guys, help voting for MIUI rom porting for galaxy sl i9003

1) click this https://www.facebook.com/questions/21751785...131/?qa_ref=ssp

If not then try reflash ur firmware. If u dont want to do it urself,then just bring back to the shop u bought or samsung for waranty.
hmmm.. try remove the sdcard? and turn on again. might be sdcard problem?

For me, it's either SL or S. I've never considered S Plus due to the dev community. Would rather get a 2nd-hand SME set SGS.

Nah. Using standard phone. No rooting done. Apps are only from market.
After restart phone will be fine.

Then after some time it will act up again. All actions in the phone slow down tremendously due to high CPU usage...

Flash XXKPE and then flash XXKPH.
Remember to flash XXKPE first.
If you are totally new in flashing firmware, please spend some time reading in xda first, or you risk getting your phone bricked.

Just made a comparison between my wife's new nokia E5 and the Galaxy SL in terms of GPS performance.

I'm able to lock position inside my office about 3m from the nearest window with agps in about 30s.

With my Galaxy its impossible with or without Agps.

Near a window in my house, the nokia can lock a position in about 1.5min without Agps and can hold this position as hot lock even i exited all gps apps.

Galaxy SL is still trying after 10mins lol...

The only condition when both are comparable is directly under the sun, stationary.

BTW I'm still using DXKB2. Hope GB will bring the improvements...

I guess GPS is the main reason I waiting for official Gingerbread release...I depend on my phone 24/7 and can't afford to take 5-12hrs to flash, restore etc, provided XXKPH works on the first try, if re-flashing and stunt required I will be in deep sh!t lol...

sync ur facebook contact and it will automatic link with ur phone contact if the name is same. If is not,u have to join them manually by going to contact, then hold on the contact name u wan to join, select "join contact".

Once ur contact has display picture in contact, whatsapp will also have.

Guys, want to have your gingerbread and eat it too? Perhaps a hope of some Ice cream sandwich in Cyanogen flavour?

Come and help donate to give an SL to the Galaxy S and S2 moderator of cyanogen for them to officially support SL.

To kick start, I've already donated 5 euros.

Donation Thread in XDA

Or paypal link :

Paypal

Or you can even PM me and bank in to me and I will paypal it for you.

Hi guys.. would like to ask. when you set wallpaper, what size of picture do u usually choose? or just choose at random. I'm facing this problem. whenever we wanna set a photo as wallpaper, we will be asked to crop it right? just like the picture below. lets say i want to put the whole picture as my wallpaper and not just part of it. how do i do it? i the orange box just cant fit the whole picture. what should i do prior to setting wallpaper? reduce the size or something? the same problem also occur when im setting photo for contacts.

Your resize rectangle seems to be for static wallpaper. If you set it to moving wallpaper, you should get a rectangle with more width than height. Some apps can switch between moving and static wallpaper: Wallpaper Wizardrii, GO Launcher, PicSpeed HD Wallpaper, etc.

Haha. Well, 2.3.5 (XXKPM) is much better than 2.3.4 (XXKPH). Why?

1. Scrolling is super smooth
2. Camera is better (exposure)
3. GPS lock is very fast
4. Battery usage ok la (wifi and HSDPA)

Comments:

The phone is stable for last 2 days until this morning. After the charging was completed, the phone is a bit lag. I don't know why. After reboot also lag lag when typing something but other apps are running smoothly. Maybe because I flashed the XXKPM from XXKPH.

Trying for luck again, I'll reflash again tonight, from clean XXKPE -> XXKPM.

By the way, I'm using ODIN to flash and not Samsung KIES. How to flash using ODIN? Please check previous page(s). smile.gif

Try reflash again?

XXKPE then XXKPM.


By the way, I'm having volume problem since XXKPH. Flashed to XXKPM but still getting the same problem. My main volume is exchange with notification volume control. sad.gif

In sound settings, the incoming call volume is 7/7 and the notification volume is 5/7. But when I'm receiving a call, the ringtone volume is only 5/7.

To confirm this, I've tested with 1/7 incoming call volume and 6/7 notification volume settings, but the incoming ringtone volume is 6/7, not 1/7. Therefore, the notification volume still remains 6/7.

Done that, but nothing changed. Is it the Update that make it like this, or the wifi for the phone already damage. Read xda forum, none of them are having this problem. Aiyaaa making me very confuse!! But thanx for the suggestion. sad.gif

same i have this bug too.But since u know that the notification volume and the incoming call volume is opposite. Then just set it oppositely. I think this is the best solution,or wait for the bug fix.

p.s: i am using cranium rom (XXKPH)

Backup your apps + data with Titanium Backup (Android Market), but before that your phone must be rooted.

Use the CF-Root to root. Try to search for it in the xda dev i9003 section.

ya, true. I don't want to get stuck later just bcoz bootloader, CSC, Radio or whatever stuff doesnt allow downdgrade (or upgrade). tongue.gif
I also want to have root access. OCR can root this XKPM fw right?

Hand alrdy very itchy to get the update but i rather not try it now ..huhu. Not sure how long i can resist though.

delay from July to Aug to Sept to 21 oct to "early nov". I can bet my ass this'll drag on till end of Nov. My itch also almost unbearable. TW4.0 looks quite ok on my bro's S2, will we get it with stock GB for SL?

this problem i just press the power/on button and let it reboot/reset..

then sometimes i get the weird no signal emergency calls only.. solve that by putting it into airplane mode then after 20 seconds put it back to normal then it can detect...

screen is blank i get it quite often dont know why.. one week maybe once or twice... sure kena one

I used to get the screen blank off which is commonly referred to as the screen of death or sod. For me it usually happens at night when i sleep.Over the last month i make sure to switch off wifi b4 sleeping n i have not get this phenomenon since. Strangely in the day time i have wifi on all the time and nothing happens. Maybe it wasn't sleeping long enough in the day time.

great place to meet SL owners. I wuz here earlier in Aug and now I'm back! Need help, today my SL cannot make calls or send messages, but IE access works fine. Error message " No Data ..." Anyone had this problem before.

I took it to the Samsung center in Gardens, MV and the guys there said software problem and wanted to charge me RM80!

Software error? Are you on stock firmware or other custom firmware? Have you try putting other sim card and see if it works?
RM80 is too steep for a minor problem if your phone is still under warranty IMO.

Aiyo? Got such thing meh? shocking.gif Think my SL go mad becos of some software I downloaded...now doing housekeeping. What you guys think of the Galaxy Nexus II? The new processor sounds great but the camera function (important to me) is a letdown with only 5 megapixels...might want to go back to the Galaxy II next year!

hey,i dont think we need froyo bootloader to flashback from gb rite?u should flash 1st with xxkb3(bcos it has pda,modem and csc like xxkpe)and then flash back the dxkb2.then dxkb2 will be working.
if we dont have froyo bootloader we will not kantoi for flashing gb rite?i also need to confirm on this.bcos i just notice my phone got 2 dots(deadpixels).want to send it for warranty also

good to hear that biggrin.gif
use titanium backup to backup ur app,since u rooted ur phone.

root will confirm gone since u update. and i think contact and msg should be gone too. (so backup it before update) . Data store in sd card shouldt be deleted. Only data in phone memory will be deleted.

but currently, there is no root for dxkp9 i think? so if u update,i have no idea how to restore ur app since u cant root DXKP9 yet.

thx u very much..wish someone can com out wif the root for DXKP9 asap....cant wait to update it..haha...wish to noe the battery performance.....

Upgrade through Kies sucks, download it from samfirmware and flash it through Odin is much easier.

If you left 10% you better don't flash it because the flashing procedure consumes a lot of battery and if your battery goes empty in the middle of the process, you are doomed.

I normally flash my phone when the battery is at least 60%, just personal preference.

if you want to upgrade gingerbread through kies,
your firmware kb3, need downgrade back to froyo kb2 first only can be detect by the kies ( else you need manually upgrade gingerbread )

yeah latest firmware can still swap memory cards with internal

After upgrade to 2.3.5, seems like the screen display consumes more battery than on froyo.

D battery status shows screen consumes 35% while previously it was only 3 - 5 % only. Anyone experience this as well?

wifi no change. I'm gonna leave it ON 24/7 to see if SOD occurs but not having high hopes.

Papago navigation with voice is still crashing but the occurrence has dropped a lot. Used to crash after 2-5 turns but now can navigate almost 30-40 turns.

I find my Launcher Pro Plus not so smooth as before now and even TW Launcher seems smoother a bit, though its not as loaded with as many widgets. Need some time in the toilet to try this (yeah its my throne and the only place for daddy to have peace and quiet)..

i had to flash to XXKPE then flash DXKP9 again
with a clean install, CF root is success
i think maybe it will need factory reset before CF-root since all apps/data still in DXKP9 coz i update through Kies, it keep for me

Hi guys, referring to my problems on Monday, it seems that my provider, U-mobile was the culprit with their so-called updates...they only apologised yesterday with free sms for customers and data for 3 days...great PR stunt yawn.gif ..shd fire the whole dept. Tell customers only after 5 days.

So there was never any problems with the phone (never killed the dealer, yet!) but will tell him to update the firmware for me since its an AP set. I will let u'all know what happens after that. Btw, anyone know if data kept in the external memory will be affected by the upgrade to the firmware since apps will be safe?

Can anybody with 2.3.5 test video playback of 720p MP4 encoded in AVC? To test, just find a YouTube video, copy the URL, paste in keepvid.com, download the 720p version, copy to phone, and play. On 2.2, it is too slow and unwatchable. This is the post with the reported problem:
