I think you have sent in several days already. Normally just to reflash rom at service center just take an hour. Your unit must have hardware issue ??

Uncle Benny,

Just want to confirm if i bought sygic navi using my gmail account in Sgs2 can i used it in my future phone (sgs3 or note) immeadiately just like any other apps bought from the market? One licence one gmail account or it applies to all my phones under one gmail account?
*
Sygic limit to only one device. When you change phone, just email Sygic support and advise them your new phone IMEI. They will reset your account and when you launch the app in the new phone, it will auto recognized and activate it automatically without you keying in any activation code . You of course need to key in the product code which is given to you when you make the purchase. The response from Sygic to change is within a working day. I got my SGS II licence changed to my Galaxy Note few days ago

Whatever app you buy can be used again on other devices with the same google account (gmail)
*
NO , not for Sygic - is tied to your phone IMEI

I recieved this PM from a SGS II user ( joshuawang) who has proposed following fix for those whose phone has problem being detected by PC> Try it for those who is still facing undetectable issues with PC:

Resolution

1. Unplug the USB cable

2. On the cell phone, dial the following number: *#7284# Once the last # is hit, the PhoneUtil application is launched. Choose USB -> Modem and then USB -> PDA mode. The good mode should be PDA. Even if the mode is PDA, switch to Modem and then back to PDA.

3. Plug the USB cable.

Note:

* Repair USB connection for any Samsung Android phone



This info is now updated in the FAQ post#3 Q21

If so , flash Litening rom to revive it - this rom will auto root and install CWM for you

got Malaysia map?

Talking about GPS, my GPS lock is very serious problem, even >10 minutes, can't get signal..
try some tweak & apps, don't work also..
i tried GPSfix, gpstatus, fasterfix

someone can help me? what is your average time lock?
*
Send in to check your phone
GPS lockup is extremely fast on my previous SGS II : 4-5 secs on Google maps and papago x5. Immediate and max 2 secs on Sygic Aura. And I never used any 3rd party GPS fix apps

Hi, how to root ar? I have downloaded fasterfix and when select Malaysia, it say need to root wo..

Don't waste your time trying these 3rd party apps. By default your phone should lock GPS easily - mine is within seconds . Make sure your 3G is enabled - it will help
If within few minutes also unable - then send in to service center to check. I faced same problem in my previous htc touch pro - very difficult to lock - as under warranty motherboard was replaced FOC
