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..
*
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!

My homescreen lags.  Using GO Launcher.  Sometimes my swipe doesn't register.  Only the homescreen, not the app drawer.  I wonder why? sad.gif

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.

Since Launcher Pro Plus is paid app, it's better than GO Launcher, yes?  Might wanna give it a try.
*
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!

updates:

1. called Samung Center
a. log into http://www.facebook.com/SamsungUnivez to check for 2.3OS when to be out

b. they say after Raya 2.3OS out

c. they recommended to go to center to upgrade and not to use Kies

d. upgrade 2.3OS charges = under warranty (Free), after warranty (Rm40), AP phone (RM80)

for me, i sien with the batt life. as i wrote before, the batt a bit crazy...!!!!

nokia n8 anyone? smile.gif

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.

Actually GO has app drawer grid size setting:  4x4, 4x5, 5x4, 5x5.

I saw from review that the Launcher Pro dev has abandoned the app :|

Need to check with you, is it possible with Go launcher to hide that top 3 'sorting' icons? The recently installed, recently used icons ?

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.

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.

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.

thanks for this info, but if you google hard enough, both the Legend and also the X10 have users reported this before.

I've this funny problem for the last 4 days, my SL turned off by itself when I at sleep every night. Now I'm losing my wake up alarm due to this problem. Anyone having this problem too? Why must it happen only when I'm in sleep???  mad.gif

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.
