hi guys,bought the W last 2 weeks ago for rm 990.  phone + original headset + 16gb card.including a sp.when i bought this phone i was told that the battery life will be kinda weak.so after 2 weeks of using the w,i would like to list out some problems.

1) batter life problem. fully charge ,no play games,standy mode,few calls only a day battery barely last upto 8 hours.
2) even on standy mode the whole phone feels like a volcano.no apps was running.
3) sms need to send 2 times in order to be sent out. ( i see a few ppl have this problem )
4) cant recieve incoming calls sometimes.ppl call me say the phone after ring few times thn after tht no sound liaw.check my phone everything ok.

so am going to lowyat to ask the sales person,maybe my battery got problem.

I dont have SMS or connection fail issue (not using Digi), but some time a call got thru, but I can't hear or talk to another party.

Only happen 2 times since I got the phone. It will be OK after you reboot the phone.

Anyone else has this problem?

why xperia ray quadrant is higher dan sgw..? i just got 1137.. i think sgw have better spec in almost area.. except for camera and thickness..

I wont worry too much about Quadrant benchmark. From what I read, Antutu seem to be more accurate.

My Galaxy W Antutu score is 3749.

Our CPU is 1.4ghz, compare to 1.0ghz on Ray, we should have advantage. I cant find any Antutu result for Ray, but this is the closest:

Ray codename is ST18i: 2821:

This is matching to the following benchmark as well:

http://poland.techinlifes.com/sony-ericsso...-of-xperia-ray/

Ray Antutu is just 2687.

So, W is definitely faster than Ray.

Avatar and Spiderman fail to open after finish download.
Go to Game Hub, download and play Siperman Total Mayhem successfully. It's legal under try before you buy.

i have several questions regarding this phone because im buying for my mum (obedient boy happy.gif)

1. i know android phones can use GPS using malfreemaps. but then where to crack for papago? is it totally free? nid to root the phone 1st?

2. even the GPS is usable, is the update and maps are regular just as nokia maps? are the maps accurate? Somehow,
*
If GPSis important to u, android phone maynot be a good idea. Garmin is simply better, even on my old nokia. The papago x5 in android can use malfreemap, yes, but lacking basic feature such as input cordinate, etc. I also feel like garmin with malsing map is more uptodate and more POI and faster to get GPS signal...

Ok. I get it. btw, the free trial version that you download in your phone is what version?
I mean do I need to pick version before I download to try and play?
*
No option to select version. Just click Game hub, Gameloft, Premium game, Siperman, free download. There are a few other free games too including Shrek Kart HD

Hey guys I'm looking to buy this phone. Currently using galaxy ace. I use my phone for surfing the net mostly and the occasional game. I love Androids widgets but the ace can't support too many cause of its GHz and ram. So is it worth the upgrade?
*
My previous phone is Ace, SGW is definately worth the upgrade:
- better, sharper, more colorful screen
- 1.4gz cpu and adreno 205 gpu are more than double the performance...can run Shadowgun!
- touchwiz 4.0 is flexible

sorry, mine is for sgsII.. but i believe refer to sgw spec, can use it tho.. yepp, just need to dload the map  smile.gif

What I mean is, can it use map from http://www.malsingmaps.com/ ? Or from Malfreemap?

In my previous experience, other map tends to be very out-dated and seriously lack of POI (Point of Interest) which is very very important in GPS.

How do you find the map so far? Can find location easily?
