More info bout technical matters

3 Layers memory

You must bear in mind that new phone from Samsung and LG offer 3 layers memory for phone which is internal memory, internal SD (/mnt/sdcard) and external SD (/mnt/sdcard/external_sd).
where other or old phone have 2 layers which is internal memory and external SD (/mnt/sdcard).

when download gameloft games, data file is save at default directory ( /mnt/sdcard/),
it is save to external sd card for 2 layers memory phone but comes to 3 layers phones (SGS,SGS2 and SGW),
it save to internal sd, so only 2GB can use for games. ( For us the SGW users)

must root to use 3rd party apps to mount , or swap your memory (internal sd and external sd), or patch ur games apk file (change the default data directory save to mnt/sdcard/external_sd) only can move data files to external sd in SGW,
bear in mind.

Samsung Offers Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich Upgrade for GALAXY devices
December 20, 2011 | 385 Comments | Tomorrow Works

Samsung Electronics plan to provide the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich update for GALAXY devices. The platform update for GALAXY S II and GALAXY Note will start in the first quarter 2012, and other GALAXY devices will soon follow.


The ICS-upgradable devices are the GALAXY S II, GALAXY S II LTE, GALAXY Note, GALAXY R, GALAXY Tab 10.1, GALAXY Tab 8.9, GALAXY Tab 7.7, and GALAXY Tab 7.0 Plus.

For upgradable models, Samsung will make separate announcements on details of OS updates schedule for each market according to market situation and carriers’ requirements.

Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and Samsung GALAXY Nexus, the first Ice Cream Sandwich powered smartphone, were first unveiled at a Google/Samsung joint news conference in Hong Kong on October 19th.

Ice Cream Sandwich brings an entirely new look and feel to Android. It has a redesigned user interface with improved multi-tasking, notifications, Wi-Fi hotspot, NFC support and a full Web browsing experience. Ice Cream Sandwich also features a new People App which lets users browse pictures, messages and social network updates from friends, family and co-workers.

Ice Cream Sandwich also introduces innovations such as Face Unlock, which uses facial recognition to unlock the smartphone. Using NFC technology, Android Beam allows users to quickly share Web pages, apps and YouTube™ videos with friends by simply tapping two phones back-to-back. Users can even use fun effects while shooting video or video chatting with Google Talk™.

Im planning to get at maximum 999 the RRP.

But Im looking for SEP warranty set.

Unfortunately, harvey norman doesn't carry galaxy W.

better get from garage sales there..or refer 2nd post..can get cheaper than ur budget.....

with 2 yrs wrnty..and better be hurry as i heard no more 2 yrs wrrnty nxt year...

its being worked on as we speak... but its christmas... so look forward for more news after the holidays...

Wah still 1st page not bad.....

Only a custom 2.3.6 which is a lighter version of the stock ROM.

wee. senheng has restock! Will get it from there with RM50 vouchers given OTS. Thanks !

that version of snake873 ROM still has some issues. several people had trouble booting after flashing the ROM.

it is based on EU version 2.3.6 ROM and it does not have much features at the moment.

for now the best option would be to just root it first and wait for a better custom ROM, preferably based off ICS.

uve made a wonder choice...
