get SGSII

SGS II doesnt support tegra games officially. those who manage to play use chainfire 3d to play it. for samurai II it is available for nontegra processors already and for NFS shift actually already any nontegra processor can play it too, doesnt need tegra to play it.

Only way to play Tegra games is with a Tegra 2 SOC.

another way is to root the phone and use chainfire3d smile.gif

for those who are planning to buy microsd cards, you might or might not want to get a big one because you don't get to use your microsd for game data such as gameloft's data unless you root. You might be wondering why. Its simple - the Galaxy W (along with other similar samsung phones) have 3 different storage locations:

- Internal Storage (phone storage)
- USB Storage (/mnt/sdcard)
- External SD Card storage (/mnt/sdcard/external_sd)

Most games including gameloft game's store their data to /mnt/sdcard which is where you are only limited to 2 GB of it. Say you install asphalt 6, then need for speed hot pursuit - that takes up about 1 gb already..you're left with another gig for other data.

Your external SD card will NOT be used for this purpose and can only be used for gameloft data if you root your phone and run a script to do some mapping or linking (if not mistaken).

Therefore, your external SD can mainly be used to store videos, photos, music and other data files that u wish..and also you could increase your internal storage space by moving from internal phone to SD card (external SD card). that's all you can use the external SD card for. So don't think you could install like 10 gameloft games when you get that 8 gb or 16gb microsd card - you CANT.

Please take note of this and TS - please put this up in the first page so pple are aware of this.

How do i install apps to my external SD card? And can i install papago to my external microsd card?? will it more lag then install in internal phone??
*
you can move the app to sd by going to manage applications, select the app then click on move to sd. the app shouldnt lag but when bootup, it will take a while longer to load up the app from the external microsd card and also when you are connected via usb storage mode you wont be able to access the app (because its on SD card and it is being used)

this applies for Gameloft games only or other apps also?


Added on November 7, 2011, 6:26 pmeh guys i know this will be a bitter question.. but..

estimated price in December? laugh.gif

most if not all games that downloads to "sd card" folder. this means you're pretty much limited at the moment to what you can have but 2gb is pretty good to have about 2-3 decent games already (gameloft ones).

*

got good demand, not likely to drop too much or drop at all. samsung is trying to repeat their success with the previous samsung wave which sold millions of dollars and this handset is back for buck, so it'll most likely sell extremely well

RRP is 999, you should be able to get it anywhere between 790 -> 999. Check garage sales section to find out the best bargain.

ok,, lets do a small review about battery. i put to gsm mode.  last night battery charge till 97% then i go out at 10pm...  now is 7:08am .. battery show 76%.  mean  9 hours standby mode ( not using any application at all)  will take around 20% of battery.
if compare to my p565 , galaxy w seems like suck battery stronger then my old winmo 6.5 pda 9 hour only use 5%  just for standby mode.
today i wont use the W  till 5pm. wanna see how much battery usage around 20 hours just at standby mode.


Added on November 8, 2011, 7:22 amanyway how to check battery level using  software come with the phone? i now using the downloaded torch light software to check only.
*
the settings > about > status section got show the battery level without any 3rd party software. your battery life is bad probably because you either:

- left GPS turned on, it should be off if not using
- left wifi / bluetooth on, it should be off again if not using
- have something running in background eating up your battery

You can try using juicedefender to monitor if not mistaken. My wife's galaxy W battery life is very good. last night left it at 67% this morning after 7 hours wake up is 66%. Lost 1% only is fantastic.

Added on November 8, 2011, 8:04 am

one more thing, the original onscreen weather  program will suck batter??
*
skype is fine even minimized, no need kill it. weather program? nope shouldn't be because i dont think it checks every x minute, should be every x hours for refresh so shouldnt affect battery life. get juicedefender to check.
