Haven't tested using the usb cable and bluetooth yet.

thanks bro for the info. Yup you are right, both on 3G active mode..just want to share my experience using this phone and compare it with my wildfire which it can stay longer than SGW..my wife told me 'all canggih phone kuat makan bateri'.. whistling.gif

I do some googling on HTC Desire S, same issue on the battery life.  Hopefully there will be a battery with higher capacity for SGW soon. rclxms.gif

I leave my SGW on standby without any sim also drain battery from 100% to 41% within 7 hours. shocking.gif

All of the above are disabled.
There are some background process like Social Hub etc running in the background which i never kill just to test the battery life.

use kies to move the file into your phone
*
I've run the clear memory and restarted the phone before setting it to standby last nite.
I'm charging my phone now. Will test again tonite by restarting the phone without running any apps and let it standby
Will it make any difference moving the file into internal sd memory?

My battery seems to last a bit longer this time. Running in flight mode, network mode deactivated.
From 1 until 8 this morning, the batt level drop to 76%.
Surf for 30 minutes, MP3 for 30 minutes b4 let it standby.

Any1 knows how to move the application from other screen? If you long press the apps, it will place the apps to desktop instead.
Where do you set the phone profile such as general, meeting, silent etc. Any shortcuts for that setting?

Kies reports new firmware available.  Who has upgraded?  Those with SMS/call problems, what firmware are you with?
Current:  PDA:KJ3 / PHONE:KJ2 / CSC:KJ2 (XME)
New: PDA:KJ4 / PHONE:KJ4 / CSC:KJ2 (XME)

hey guys, anyone hv encounter problems after upgrade the new firmware from kies?
for me, after upgrade to latest firmware from kies, my phone becomes so unstable. my phone's auto rotate sensor is malfunction very often. mean sometime when it is horizontal, it cannot back to vertical and vice versa. the auto rotate sensor even malfunction in the service test menu *#0*#
i have to restart my phone to make it works again, and it is so annoying as it keep malfunction.

one more thing, my opera mobile was working fine before upgrade the firmware, after upgrade, opera mobile keeps auto close and crash very often. WTF problem is this, i not even have this problem in low spec phone like optimus one and galaxy mini..

for those who havent upgrade the firmware, a friendly advice from me that DO NOT upgrade the firmware as it will make u frustrated.

This happen in build DXKJ4?

Can the supplied USB cable be used to charge+data transfer at the same time?
Anyone can confirm on this?
Mine just show as MTP/USB connected when using KIES.

I got questions..Why there's no option whether to pick USB Mass Storage/Kies/Charging only?

When i connect using USB Cables,it directly uses KIES..Sometimes i dont want to use KIes to manage my files..

How eh to use USB Mass Storage?
*
I believe the option for USB mass, charging can be found in the phone setting. I read in the manual but can recall which page. tongue.gif

U can set KIES not to auto run when u plug in ur handphone. Check in the KIES setting.
As for the USB Mass Storage, u can see the phone's name in My Computer, but not sure if it requires KIES to be running or not.

Can.  All microUSB cables are the same for the purposes of charging and transferring data.

Thanks for the update.
Some Nokia phones cannot use the micro USB for charging, only for data. That includes my previous phone. doh.gif
The conclusion is "Adios Nokia" biggrin.gif
