lucky for you to get non-G version. I was saving money, half way hear about the G-version news and rush to shops ask, it was too late ... all got G. lolz

only 2 bad things about Galaxy W compare to S2.
1-low internal memory ( Really really low )
2-low rams ( really hate the ram things, said 512mb, then 150+mb reserve for OS, then in phone we saw 351mb, then within the 351mb still need to used up ram for UI and other android services, left 50-100mb only)

was wondering what the use for the 150mb+ deduct from the 512mb ?
cause witin the 351mb still used up 150-200mb for android services.
Diao. 鸡凸的。

Non-g only available at garage sales or second-hand. thats the only way.

Lucky we have external memor that can be used to expand it. We can always move apps and games into external storage.
As for ram, i dont worry much as i only use it for browsing, social use like whatsapp and viber and light games. What for playing high graphics games on smartphones. might as well get urself a PSP. LOL
*
for normal apps, can move to external sd, but for gameloft games still cannot. haha.
sometimes some apps force close and I think is due to not enough ram.
sometime i use dophin browser HD to load pages, open 2,3 tabs, scroll down reading half way it auto close.
lolz, not even pop out "force close" things, just close and UI appear. lolz.

yaya. PSP, it should be NGP. XD

I think there is problem with sammy USB driver for SGW. I experience that before too. But now, no more problem after I do the following:

1. In setting, Applications, Development, enable USB debugging.
2. Connect USB to Notebook, pull down top menu, enable USB file transfer, connect

Using this method to access the files in SGW seem to give me less problem.
*
I just check it. Walao, i rmb when I buy it the USB debugging was initial enabled, just check it wasn't and I just enable it. hope give less problem. ><

QUOTE(cowithgun @ Dec 13 2011, 12:17 PM)
The 150mb was used as a Ram Drive to host OS files.
*
icic. so host OS use the 150mb. I think i should quit asking liao, too many questions. lolz

Android OS Core, kernel, crucial system services all are loaded into 150MB. the rest of the non-crucial services runs on top of that using the 350MB

if they think 1GB RAM is too expensive, they should have just put in 768MB RAM like some other devices and sold the Galaxy W @ RM1100 RRP, it would still be a good buy at that price

351MB RAM really cripples the 1.4Ghz processor. this will be more evident when we get OC'able kernel and maybe easily OC up to 1.6Ghgz or beyond. it will be like running Intel Core i5 processor with 512MB RAM...  sweat.gif
(i am not going to compare our Galaxy W processor to Core i7 as that would be Exynos processor terrritory)
*
ya. Totally Agree. Really hope to have 768 rather than 512mb for ram in this SGW, it would be PERFECT if it have 768 ram. that's only 1 thing I like about HTC, most of high end HTC phone have scropion 8255 1ghz with 768mb ram. >< aiks.

why Samsung? LOLZ tongue.gif

but compared to samsung high end phones, samsung have 1gb. like a boss.

ya. But I don't own the 1GB ram boss like phone, so no point. XD haha

QUOTE(jananan @ Dec 13 2011, 01:42 PM)
only hope is enabling swap in microSD, be prepared for changing memory cards often as this will damage the memory card in the long run.

also this option is not as fast as native RAM, but at least in task manager it will show more memory available.
*
you mean swap memory? I didn't.. haha. and why enable swap memory is related to ram?? ><

ya, but at least more memory available, this help reduce "lag" and "delay" between switching tasks if memory is no enough in this current "512mb ram" (especially after finish games/HD games).

Look like problem in sd card nia, no need reset anything. I recommend you do "long format" instead of quick format. Or you try use another sd card.
*
but, I did the long format dy. still got problem.
try my old 4gb sd card, also scan long long time.
tried the .nomedia way, media scanning still unstoppable.

friend said could be because 2 days ago,
I disconnect usb storage and phone hang, So I hard restart the phone.
this might cause the system go error or what.
and I can see the "media scanning running" keep pop out in middle,
some website said might got apps trigger modification to files,
thus after modification on files, media scanner will run.

later night might try delete some files in external sd or what.
else I'll just do the factory reset.

btw cow, i saw the factory reset can find under the "privacy", factory reset?
is factory reset same as hard reset? ><

Just now I on my phone, the media scanner problem stil exist, never end.
then I use my AVG PRO scan, take 10mins, then it found some suspisious item, then I click it and the media scanner stop. SO I thought it was virus.

Then I use my backup pro backup my all my apps.
and restart the phone.

But the media scanners still scan never end, then again I use AVG PRO,
this time no virus or what.
So it seems like the media scanners on my phone went wrong,
so when the AVG PRO scan the things, especially Media,
it force the media scanner run together, so after AVG PRO finish scan,
the media scanner also stopped.

Perharps, the media scanners services in my phone got problem?
anyway to reinstall media scanners, etc?
