if i am not mistaken there is an increasing activity on the sun's surface. solar flares can cause disruptions on satellites in orbit that are exposed directly. in minor cases it will cause reboots and freezes on onboard computers, in worst cases... you would not want to know....

it sounds scary if only without warranty

Without using A-GPS (data enabled), SGW takes quite sometime to get gps lock, longer than my CSL Spice or X10i. With data enabled, only a few second and it can even get the lock while moving.

This morning I found out that outdoor pics taken with SGW wasn't so good and it kinda out of focus. SGW doesn't have image stabilizer like X10i.

Why mine can't even lock when gps and data is enable? but my father s 2 can??

What gps apps are u using? Have u test it with GPS test or GPS fixer app? Or mebbe you live near to restricted areas like army camp or near to prison

normal google map it cant lock d. when using papago it just need some time to lock it.

From my experience google map lock is much faster if u already connected to wifi hotspot.

Any good gps locker? i cant find one...

Haha that's great! Before this you were using Galaxy S2 also or Galaxy W?

I was memang using a Galaxy S2

moms phone recently broke so I recommended her to get this Gal. W!

She doesn't care if its single core or dual core...as long can call and sms

Haha that's great. But I'm pretty sure you would be active on this thread instead your mom, right?

probably la, maybe just help her root (But she won't care if I actully root it or not) and help her install angry birds...LOL

Why root for her when she only gonna use it for Angry Birds, call & sms? Hahaha

To maximize the 1.8 Ghz of the phone la haha but I'll probably not overclock it...underclock it 1GHz so it can last for more days

Oh, okay. Yeah, I think you should since your mom won't really be using much of it also

out-of-focus photos sometimes after 2.3.6 GB update...

2.3.5 camera firmware/sw was better...

Really? I tot it was due to plastic film that cover the lense but when I peeled it, WTH, the plastic thingy only cover the outer lense and not the center of it.

What is the latest firmware niw for stock rom. I colleague unit seems not that updated.
