which shop do you bought it ? I read the old thread, some said the 2 years warranty is no
more offered by SEP. how true is this ?
*
SEP still offer 2 years until 31/12/2011.

Nah... they don't buy based on what their friends tell but what their friends buy. Friend buy, molest molest then suka d. In the case of iphone/SGS2 wink.gif
*
It can also happen to SGW. Someone buy, friends see and try, like, then buy. Anything wrong with that?

Want to ask. How can I check if the GPS is working fine in my phone? Is there any apps that I can use to check?
My phone couldn't lock in satellite.

Thanks.

GPS Test or GPS Status.

This phone has GPS and not A-GPS?
*
It's AGPS but you can turn it off and use pure GPS instead for slower lock time.

Galaxy Ace, maybe. But no updates for their new release phones is just like telling customers not to buy their phones.  Marketing wont be so dumb to come out with products having only few months of selling period. (Maybe I used  the wrong words to describe cause I'm not a marketing student)
*
Galaxy Ace had 1 update, from Froyo to Gingerbread. I'm betting W will get ICS. Nowadays Android phones have at least 1 official update in their lifetime.

CM9? Is this the only choice we have if Samsung is not giving us ICS?
*
Maybe if this phone is very popular, it will get official CM9, but I wouldn't hold my breath. Even SGSL and SGS+ didn't get CM7...

No need to bother so much about the battery. Battery is for use. I guess you are missing out the experience and fun of owning a smartphone.  smile.gif

I would rather get a dumb phone if purely for calls and sms. Better battery life.  nod.gif

I guess he can do whatever he wants with his phone and his money, yeah? nod.gif

QUOTE(annoymous1234 @ Nov 30 2011, 09:09 PM)
not so fast. if they realease ICS to this phone. who would bother to buy nexus?
*
If I'm not wrong, Nexus updates are not released by Samsung. They're released directly by Google. There's nothing to modify by Samsung because it's pure vanilla Android.

SDcard > Media > Audio > Ringtones

SDcard > Media > Audio > Notifications

The files in the folders will be available for choosing when you change your ringtone/notification/alarm. When you root your phone, you can even remove the stock tones.

transfer your tones from pc to sd card,
using file manager from market, move your tones from memory card to phone memory according to path above. Good luck

I believe no need to move to phone memory... either internal SD or external SD should work... smile.gif

should be in /data/app/NAME_OF_THE_APP.apk

if you chosen to "move to sd", it will be in /mnt/asec/NAME_OF_THE_APP.apk instead...

although it is in /mnt/asec/ it is actually resides inside your external sd card.

if u take out the sd card and read it from notebook (or use usb), u will see it's in /.android but it's encrypted.

If we copy out the APK, is it installable in another Android phone?

Anybody experienced calling someone but that someone cannot hear the caller? Had to reboot to resolve.

I thought someone said there's a counter in the phone to track how many times it's been rooted, and Samsung Service Center can see this counter?

Hi I am considering W and S Plus which is RM 400 more.

S Plus - bigger screen easier to type and view things on screen. Tho is has AMOLED screen but W screen seems sharper and brighter. Bad is Touch Wiz 3.0 not so nice compared to 4.0 and then no flash for camera.

W - Smaller and nice to hold but scared of call quality as seems many members complained of that and lower memory on board which makes it restricted if we don't root the phone.

If compare to W, advantage is bigger screen but if compared to iPhone, then W is bigger. Going to get my set this weekend but still decision not made up, W or S Plus? Any advice guys? Thanks a lot!
*
SPlus is RM200 more only. W is RM858, SPlus is RM1050. From my observation in Garage Sales lah... RM200 for the Super AMOLED and bigger screen but no LED flash. Worth it? To me, yes.

Looking at my wife's SGW,  the phone design already made me felt bored.
I bet before 3rd quarter of next year, this thread will be isolated. Ha..ha...ha.. tongue.gif
*
I think 2nd quarter already very quiet la. Threads lose excitement here in half a year. Look at those ex-OMG-it's-the-perfect-budget-phone threads like Ace, Ideos X5.

why is the dial pad tone so loud one??

Turn it off lah.
