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.
 hmm.gif hmm.gif

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™.

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.

Hi, I read in /k/ that Samsung Galaxy isn't getting a ICS update, and most similiar spec model will probably not a ICS update too. Is that true? And can we still use a ROM based on ICS then?

dude..using a custom ROM won't make you risk your online banking la..come on..as long as you are using a popular ROM it is fine not some shady one...what you are saying is more akin to like using a different operating system other than windows will risk spoiling your PC hardware...that's..rubbish.

do you even know how custom ROMs are built anyway? The ROMs are built from the AOSP - Android Open Source Project and its not like the browser is written by some Ali/Abu developer, etc...so rest assured, it is safe.

Thanks for correct my way of thinking. So, is Galaxy W getting attention in the ROM community? Or is it somewhat of unpopular device (I know its popular here, but we're not the one making the ROMs).

Yes there is already work in progress on an ics based custom. Don't worry. A popular handset will sure have custom rom.

I don't know how popular it is outside of Malaysia/Asia.

We spend RM800 - RM900 to buy this phone. With 800 USD, you can get an Iphone4s in US. Low/mid end product is definitely not as popular there as here.

Anyway thanks, I think thats the last question. Will wait for some announcement from banks before actually buying the phone

Actually, a popular custom ROM may be safer than the stock ROM.

now i'm a bit confused..what kind of announcement are you expecting from the banks? Are you actually expecting them to say something like :

Maybank is compatible with Galaxy W - Custom ROM XXX with ICS?

Point being in the US, most people buy phones with the plans on contract so their phones are heavily subsidized. Given 800USD, I can get myself 4 Galaxy SII with a contract each.

Midrange phones are usually free or very cheap with plans because the contracts tie people down for 2 years so most would opt for a higher range phone which is more value for money in the long run.

And this phone may not be as popular in the US because it simply doesn't exist there. Samsung doesn't sell it there but given the response from XDA Developers forum, this phone is gaining quite a fanbase.

now i'm a bit confused..what kind of announcement are you expecting from the banks? Are you actually expecting them to say something like :

Maybank is compatible with Galaxy W - Custom ROM XXX with ICS?

Not that. Its wasn't a question. You don't need to know. smile.gif

Anyway thanks.

Edit : But now since you mention that, I wonder will there be any compatibility problem LOL

Dont worry on the customed ROM any ROM developed n uploaded at XDA carrying the CyanogenMod TM are all certified to be used.

It includes no telco carrier embeded etc.

Need not worry all of the developers at XDA are helping each other in the ROM cooking for free in return for recognition.

FYI SGW ICS Developer, arco68 is a recognised contributor to XDA has even helped a fortcoming dev for SGW ROM based on GB scheduled to be uploaded after Xmas.....

anyone knows how to fix the parse error when installing apps ? dam annoying ..

Added on December 24, 2011, 10:50 pmok now i know why ..

If you get a parsing error its because the APK You are downloading version is too old to run on your device. Either the developer hasn't updated it or the file on our server is outdated and needs to be updated.

Just bought a SGW (white) for my wife as a Christmas present, it's the first Android device I bought as I mainly with iOS. The phone performance is not bad, screen resolution is surprisingly nice but don't compare with Amoled. Stock with Gingerbread 2.3.5 and with the price tag of RM900+-, it's a steal. I bought it at RM830 since a forumer here who need a registered plan but not the phone, we went to the telco and he sign up the plan and I pay for the phone...lol

Nope, digi 68 for 2 years contract and the phone was package with the price of RM399 (black color). I exchange it to a phone trader coz his customer was looking for a black and I opt for a white and no black color can be found at the moment except digi. The trader promise to sell me the sd card cheaper then All win-win situation....tongue.gif

Did it to demonstrate to a customer when I was working at DiGi 360 last weekend. Interested in buying the W but wasn't sure if the screen was tough enough so I did a live demonstration. He signed on for a 2 year plan with the phone immediately after that biggrin.gif

Hello all,

Oh, I haven't try this. Might try later but still....this phone is my gf 1. Personally I think she cannot tahan with the troublesome...but for me, if I got backup phone, I might consider this.

Anyway, now I decided to pass back the phone to the seller for warranty claim.

Thanks to all who reply and give valuable feedback.

Now some troublesome is to clear the contacts, pics, notes and gmail account. I notice we cant log off gmail account from the phone and the only way to make it secure it....to change gmail password.

Reason being is, a bit paranoid....when pass the phone for warranty, people might* login to the gmail account for...whatever reason.

Any better suggestion?

Have not bought yet so little time to go n somemore working on Xmas day....Looking forward...

P/S......Since the screen is scratch resistant..no point to get SP..have you guys seen the vid on YouTube hard to believe a knife slided directly on the screen of a SGW...

For my heart's sake, I will still put a SP on it after i buy it. It's scratch resistant for metal objects. Anyone, try with sand? laugh.gif

Yes way laugh.gif

Did it to demonstrate to a customer when I was working at DiGi 360 last weekend. Interested in buying the W but wasn't sure if the screen was tough enough so I did a live demonstration. He signed on for a 2 year plan with the phone immediately after that biggrin.gif
*
So you're from DiGi or you worked for DiGi? Mind explain the Gila Internet Sales? Just to clarify. I got the idea myself but just to make everything clear. Regarding the first payment. RM68 means what? RM500 advance payment means what? RM568 we paid when we take the phone will be used to deduct for coming bills. Right?

Hello all,

The one I got have the phone call issue. Can't really hear what the other side is talking/saying. I noticed some of you have this problem too, any remedies to solve this?

I'm thinking to sent it back to dealer/Samsung for warranty purpose but what to hear the some opinions first.

Thanks.
*
The trick is, lower down the volume and increase it back while you're making a call. Common problem here. Claim 100 times maybe you still get the very same problem.

1.  Phone charge till 99% only
2.  Phone calls cannot hear the other side
3.  Receive SMS vibrate non-stop

Depending on ur luck, u may experience none, one, or all of the above.
*
1. Phone charge till 99% only - the last few percent takes longer, it will charge up to 100% if you stop playing with it while its charging.

2. Phone calls cannot hear the other side - software bug - just decrease volume and increase it again while in call - but i dont have this bug on my W

3. Receive SMS vibrate non-stop - i have never encountered this, neither have some of my friends who are using W

I think most of the black went to the telcos sign-up plans as I bought 1 last few days at Digi centre(contract) and swap it with a trader as I want a white and he wants a black. IMHO, the black is not really that nice as its matte dark gray instead of solid glossy black, since it's a Christmas present for my wife then I choose white.

I was working part time at DiGi during the iPhone4S launch.

I'll try to explain from what I know, the RM500 advance payment is basically payment for the device. Then supposedly your monthly commitment is RM68, then every month the RM68 is deducted from that RM500 you paid until the debit is finished and then only do you have to pay for it properly.

Well, that's as I know it. I may be wrong however. Better to clarify with a DiGi center.

Erm... the fact now is that digi gila internet sale gives discount for RM15*24months+RM5 for auto billing. Means RM20 discount every month. But the first payment includes a RM68. Then my first month is RM68 or RM48. haha rclxub.gif
Nvm, I know you wouldn't know everything. laugh.gif I shall call digi to clarify. tongue.gif tongue.gif

I heard for Galaxy W the Black version more hot-selling than White. That's why more Black SGW sold than White SGW.

This is disturbing. I've turned off the data packets on my gf's W. She still lost 30 ringgit of prepaid credit in less than 10 minutes. I thought that turning off data packets would turn off ALL mobile internet data?

I wondering what the culprit is. It can't be the background data and auto sync causing problems is it? Even if those were on, data packets is still off. I really don't want her to be worrying over losing credit all the time.

This is serious. Normally when you off Data it will automatically disable everything. I haven't encountered this problem before. Try calling your telco and check?

I totally disagree with you. I've posted a screenshot in the V2 thread that my battery lasted for 46 hours after 100+ sms, 30 minutes of call, 2 hours of gaming & 1 hour of browsing yet still had 12% remaining battery. I think the reason why your battery is draining very fast is because you're using data. I noticed when I use Data, the battery drains very fast too. In 4 hours 35% gone already. If you're not using Data, I suggest you be patient & use the phone. Normally it takes a certain duration for the battery to get used to your usage for it to last longer. cheers! biggrin.gif

I'm guessing that's the RAM problem. I've encountered that problem during gaming too. A lot of people on this Galaxy W thread told me it's because RAM already maximum then the phone hang & no response. Try to clear your RAM then browse & see got the same problem or not. If got, I think you should check with Samsung.

For the first time i had flashed a phone.
Just flashed a galaxy ace with Cyanogenmod 7.1 [Unofficial] by BehradGH
HOLY SHIT IT SO F@#KING FAST AND SMOOOTHHHHHHH shocking.gif shocking.gif shocking.gif
Its like on a Iphone nod.gif

previously this phone was struggling and really lags to even play angry birds, now its just smooth
like on my galaxy w. thumbup.gif thumbup.gif thumbup.gif


I really f#$ked up my gf's phone when i updated her phones firmware from froyo to gingerbread 2.3.4, makes the phone ULTRA LAGS SUPER SNAIL SMALL.
SAMSUNG IS AN IDIOT for releasing this update for ace. vmad.gif


now i dun give a sh*t if ICS ever comes out for galaxy w, cyanogenmod is the way for the future.
no more stupid firmware updates from samsung.


I cant sleep well now until arco68 release a stable version of the CM9 now after what i see it can do.

Samsung: We don't give an update you complain, we give an update you complain. laugh.gif

Normally, flashing a 3rd party ROM would be better than getting the official ROM because most of the useless bits have been stripped out making for a faster, leaner experience.

What did I tell you guys about CM7 but that is based on 2.3.4 wait till you try 2.3.7....

Imagine CM9 on ICS.......The ROM will have OC Kernels n JIT for better graphics n of course speed will be tweaked.

arco68 is now under the dark shadow working for the ICS for the SGW....he had bricked his phone but is spending a few hundreds to recover it......he works quitely this is his style....to check on his progress check his github....

Another ROM on GB will be out in XDA too...arco68 had placed his finger too helping that developer.

TUNGGU......it is just the beginning....!.!

~~ You can always flash it to original Firmware and try before flashing to CM9. ICS shouldn't be bad.

Psst....arco68 PUSHED ICS CM9 to his github 96 hours ago........it means ETA soon......!

Added on December 26, 2011, 3:31 amAnd yet for me to grab this phone maybe today if I have time...been working for seven days without rest...SGW punya pasal...today I had held a white version...belonging to somebody...GERAM YOU....!

The existing bugs in the stock ROM does not bother me much if it still exist in ICS CM9 we tell him in XDA n he will correct it.

Perhaps in Ver 4.0 I predict will be in Feb or earlier after CNY..AngPow ! we shd include Rooting n ROM flashing for SGW....!

its just battery calibration issue.

after you use it sometime it will get more accurate, esp if you do full discharge and full recharge few times.

make sure you dont go play with it when its charging.

Hi guys , need to ask few questions >.<

1. It's best for me to root my phone right ? It won't affect anything , I mean , let's say if I have musics/video/games inside the phone , will it affect them ?

2. The downloaded apps will be stored in my internet storage ,correct ? How can I make it stored in my external ( SD Card ) storage ?

Thanks!

1) Well if you root just bear in mind that your warranty will void although you could un-root it back but I recall there's a way for samsung to tell that you've rooted before via some sort of counter..i cant be sure as my wife's SGW is not rooted..other than that, it doesnt affect whats in your phone. Unless u tinker with them yourself.

2) Can only be done by mapping the file path if u root it OR through some patching of the game APK, need some skills to do this - I guess u can get cowithgun for help on this, i never tried it before since my wife's SGW s not rooted. My nexus one only have 2 layers of memory so dont have such problem tongue.gif

did you install any 3rd party programs that conflicts ?

did you root and delete/change something ?

does it crash randomly / all the time ?

try disabling all animations, install 'spare parts' and disable 'fancy input animations'

many widgets eat up memory. even widgets that are only shortcuts to apps use memory. widgets are full/partial apps that run in the background.

use shortcuts instead, shortcuts do not consume memory as it is only a link to the app.

another culprit is live wallpaper - use only static wallpaper.

don't run any apps that create background services that run unnecessarily all the time.

i am not using TwLauncher (Samsung TouchWiz), using 3rd party lightweight launcher.

install a lightweight 3rd party task manager that allows you to list all apps and services (including hidden) and sort apps according to memory usage.

make sure your task manager is not the type that stays in memory, get one that has a quit/exit button.

on fresh boot i always have like 200-220MB free - but of course i have done more tweaks as well and removed loads of rubbish.

Normally, flashing a 3rd party ROM would be better than getting the official ROM because most of the useless bits have been stripped out making for a faster, leaner experience.

1) Well if you root just bear in mind that your warranty will void although you could un-root it back but I recall there's a way for samsung to tell that you've rooted before via some sort of counter..i cant be sure as my wife's SGW is not rooted..other than that, it doesnt affect whats in your phone. Unless u tinker with them yourself.

2) Can only be done by mapping the file path if u root it OR through some patching of the game APK, need some skills to do this - I guess u can get cowithgun for help on this, i never tried it before since my wife's SGW s not rooted. My nexus one only have 2 layers of memory so dont have such problem tongue.gif

1. It sounds like rooting isnt good sad.gif

2. but then i need to root in order to make my downloaded path to external memory , tell me somethin guys , if my internet memory is full , where will my downloaded apps will save ?

Go to Settings>Sound settings. Phone ringtone is for calls. Notification ringtone is for SMS, WhatsApp & etc. If you want to change your e-mail, WhatsApp & etcetc. different ringtone, you can launch the WhatsApp & etc. then click on the Menu button, click Settings & go to Notification Settings & Sound Settings (different application different name). Hope this hepled! biggrin.gif

Yo everyone. biggrin.gif Late Merry X'mas? rclxm9.gif haha

@ekudz - some games none gameloft, it install the exe in internal memory and data in usb storage ( /mnt/android/data). so when you move to sd card, data will be in ext_sd (mnt/sdcard/external_sd/.androidsecure).
so when you delete the games, it free your 1.07 (internal memory) and your 1.7gb (usb storage),
or your internal memory and ext_sd. (if your data in ext_sd).
should be like that.

that gameloft file I no sure. my gameloft data is in ext_sd,
so I delete the game, I manual go ext_sd delete the data.


for me, no keyboard problem, no reboot problem or freeze problem,
big probability is software problem or hardware problem.
try factory reset, if problems still exists, claim warranty.
and I use Go keyboard since after 1 month I bought the phone.

wait for stable rom only I root? next year May la. XD after graduate 1st.
abo later root liao got problem or wat, then GG.

Hi and Happy Holidays. I've been using the Wonder since it was launched and there appears to be a problem with the homepage icons disappearing after being turned off and charged.

If I leave the phone on all the time there's no problem, but when I do switch it off to charge and switch it on, all icons POOF!! This is the third time I've experienced this in the last month plus.

This time the smartphone is way too smart it implodes! Has anyone experienced this yet? I have downloaded the latest firmware for this and updated (via the phone itself).

Where is my cow with gun? smile.gif ...i have try his step using terminal emulator. after i key in su ( super user permission granted ) and then pm setInstallLocation 2. Doesn't seem any different. It is still unable detect the external card for gameloft game to install to it  cry.gif

sorry mate, long break. i stop for christmas, there 12 pages! sweat.gif

about your problem about not enough internal memory, there are 2 things you can to do:

1) use the setInstallLocation will help u to free up Internal Memory since all new app will now be installed to your external sd card by default.

2) you need to manually move existing app to external sd by going to "Setting", "Manage Application", then select the App, and move to sd card.

After that, check again in Setting storage, see how much space you can free up in the Internal Device memory and try install the Golf game again. smile.gif

Hi guys , need to ask few questions >.<

1. It's best for me to root my phone right ? It won't affect anything , I mean , let's say if I have musics/video/games inside the phone , will it affect them ?

2. The downloaded apps will be stored in my internet storage ,correct ? How can I make it stored in my external ( SD Card ) storage ?

Thanks!
*
1) Root... dont no root... free your phone!

2) Follow this to have you app installed to external sd by default:

1) Well if you root just bear in mind that your warranty will void although you could un-root it back but I recall there's a way for samsung to tell that you've rooted before via some sort of counter..i cant be sure as my wife's SGW is not rooted..other than that, it doesnt affect whats in your phone. Unless u tinker with them yourself.
any more info about the samsung root counter?

if this is about the firmware counter, there is nothing to worry about:

http://www.jayceooi.com/2011/08/08/how-to-...sung-galaxy-s2/

this counter will only increase if you use flash your phone.

using zergrush, nothing is changed on the firmware level. so, for everyone that root their phone with DooMLoRD package, don't worry about the firmware counter.

my RAM memory always drop below 100/350 after i on the phone after 12hours even when i kill all the apps using GO launcher..

however, whenever I reboot my phone and kill all the apps, i will get 16x/350 RAM...

why after using the phone without reboot my 60+ RAM will gone?? any way to prevent this happens?

and those apps will auto pop-up and continue eat my RAM, its very annoying.. anyway can block those apps auto popping out?? =x
*
That's is common. Majority of the ram is being used to create a RAMDrive that will host most commonly used system files ( da root and /system). The rest, on Android OS and Samsung TouchUI and other widget. So, even if you just started you phone, big chunk of memory is gone.

After using the phone for awhile, without reboot, some app that you closed actually being cached in the memory because the OS think that you may use it again. You can clear these cache in the "Setting", "Manage App", app. However, you dont need to do that because the OS is smart enough to clear it in low memory. Loading from memory is both faster and use less power compare to loading from storage.

If this sound too complex, just leave it be! Android will take full use of your ram.

Why not use the "Kies Air" in SGW? It's superb! No USB cable needed, can upload and download files thru wifi. Can even use when there is no Wifi! You can set your phone to be a Hotspot.

Replying individually for each post make it possible for me to provide link to that post in the future. I always like to use link to refer to things I posted earlier rather than retype it. Hehe, guess your guys will have to live with it.

About that link (dont you find it easy if u click the link, you see directly that post? Instead of the whole page or all other reply? biggrin.gif That's why I post reply individually)

- is done to the apk or what?
yes, but not "done" to apk. it will only affect all NEW apk that you will install in the future.

- I mean, those commands will be applied on to the apk?
yes

- Or it set the phone to install into external SD?
yes. by default, new app will be installed to Device memory, but with that setting, new app will be installed to external sd card...

am i repeating myself? sorry. doh.gif

@ekudz - some games none gameloft, it install the exe in internal memory and data in usb storage ( /mnt/android/data). so when you move to sd card, data will be in ext_sd (mnt/sdcard/external_sd/.androidsecure).
so when you delete the games, it free your 1.07 (internal memory) and your 1.7gb (usb storage),
or your internal memory and ext_sd. (if your data in ext_sd).
should be like that.

Ya. You may delete anything inside /sdcard/gameloft anytime. The game will detect and download it again if needed. Save games are stored somewhere else (/data/data/game_package).

i delete all the gameloft game in /sdcard/gameloft .. and now my sd storage is free .. currently 628MB only been use..

So in the future if we uninstall games we need to check inside sd card also is it ..

Added on December 27, 2011, 6:22 pmI want to ask .. Where is the data for apps? example .. for Camera Apps / Widget ... is it the same like games data? Do we need to remove manually inside file explorere or Astro?

Guys, i have been following this thread and I am most likely going to buy this phone. When i follow this thread , it seems like the Galaxy W is full of problems ?

I hope this is not the case. Anymore satisfied users of Galaxy W here ? Put your hands up ! smile.gif

*puts hands up*

Can't say I'm not satisfied. I haven't experienced much if any problems for my unit. I'm guessing the problems happen on some bad apples and doesn't affect all the units.

Well, except for the occasional low volume from the earpiece. But otherwise, very satisfied. thumbup.gif

Actually there's nothing bad about having a large size. Notice that when you watch youtube... even both video are played in 480p, there's still difference in it. One may seems better than the other. Besides that, given the video of same length on youtube, 1080p, different settings during converting or encoding and different sources(brands, etc) will have different file size. It still depends on bitrate, fps, etc etc, not just file format and resolution. Anyway, when the file is bigger, that means a less compressed file, is better for post processing. Although it's bad for storage. laugh.gif laugh.gif

So in the future if we uninstall games we need to check inside sd card also is it ..

Added on December 27, 2011, 6:22 pmI want to ask .. Where is the data for apps? example .. for Camera Apps / Widget ... is it the same like games data? Do we need to remove manually inside file explorere or Astro?

Not all game save to /sdcard. By design, all App has 2 folders:

/data/app/app_package - this store the main apk
/data/data/app_package - this store all the game files, save game, etc

both of this are on the Device memory. however, most big game knows there is limited space in the device memory, they will use "getExternalFilesDir()" API to get the external storage. This actually resolved into "/sdcard/Android/data/app_package".

All these 3 folders will be removed when you uninstalled the game.

However, some lazy programmers (including all gameloft game) actually just hard coded "/sdcard/gameloft" into the code. These type of game may have function to remove the downloaded file, but if not, you may need to manually delete them.

Hi Joelles

I have no idea what TW Launcher is, but I haven't done anything yet other than to autoupdate the firmware. If this happens again, I'm wondering whether it's possible to reset it back to the original stock firmware.

i forgot one big thing i faced~~ did anybody in here notice that when u record a HD video, 1280x720, i record for about 6 minute, but the size is huge~~~ 565Mb rclxub.gif  rclxub.gif
my Chuck series for 1 episode only 349Mb.... why my recording is sooooo huge

try looking at a friend's Galaxy S2 video file size at 1080p, then you'll appreciate your 'smaller' files from SGW@720p

why videos recorded from camera is larger in size than encoded movies ? because when recording there is not enough processing power to compress the files optimally.

if you recompress the videos recorded from your camera on your PC again using other 3rd party sw you will get smaller sized files, similar in size to (legal) movies that you download.

any cigarette lighter socket charger that has usb port will do. just use your samsung microUSB cable or any other standard microUSB cable to charge.

one model that i particularly like is the Belkin 1A (1000mA) charger. it should charge your phone a tad bit faster than your Samsung original charger that charges at a slow 700mA. don't worry it wont damage your phone or your battery.

http://www.lelong.com.my/sales-belkin-micr...7-01-Sale-I.htm

(this is only a sample thread, the seller is not me or affliated to me) i have seen other places sell even cheaper.

but i have a feeling there are a lot of fake ones in the market. do use caution when you purchase super cheap ones.

or you guys could get this baby that charges at 2.1A (2100mA) 5V. it could probably charge a flat battery on a Samsung Galaxy W / S2 / S-Plus to 100% in less than 45 minutes.

it does come with cables for charging iPad. you could probably give the cables away to your iDevices toting friends.

again, this seller is not affliated to me.

most phones can't utilize class 10 memory cards. class 10 cards has fast continous reading/writing speed.

most of read/writes from phones are random read/writes.

only can feel the speed of the class 10 when connecting your memory card to PC and using as mass storage.

well, at least is faster when connect to pc and use as mass storage, and when copy file from ext_sd to internal sd also faster.
plus, I buy class 10 16GB kingmax at RM88, rather than class 4 16GB kingmax at RM160 at shop?
so cheaper price better product should be wise choice.

must aware the market outside shop, they all markup the sd card v exp.

the popular and free Handbrake

http://handbrake.fr/downloads.php

and my name is not Cow...

Added on December 28, 2011, 12:15 pmgood-looking MP4 =/= smaller size

try using lower bitrate for video and audio and VBR settings to bring down the file size when re-encoding

the resultant file size also depends on the amount of noise in the video, motion in the video and changing scenes. even amount of variations in color can cause a lot of difference in result file size.

also check if there is 2 audio tracks in the video, no point having 2 redundant tracks since our SGW only records in mono using 1 mic.

you cant have the best of both worlds... unless they develop a new super codec that can further improve current compression techniques.

continuous auto focus results in sharper frames being encoded into the video.

sharper frames do require more space to store the extra details it is capturing, hence the answer to your question is yes. continuous autofocus will produce slightly larger files than out of focus videos.

but the main impact on filesize is from the bitrate of the video and audio is being recorded.

you can have a high bitrate 720p video that is much larger in size compared to a low bitrate 1080p video file.

so at the end of the day, bitrate is the key in adjusting quality / file size for video files.

in the meantime you can see the kernel being worked here by arco68 who is porting CM9 for us.
(ancora is the codename for SGW)

https://github.com/arco/samsung-kernel-ancora/tree/ics

you can see some updates last pushed on the 21st December, its still Christmas / NY 2012 mood people.

I don't think so. It's not to say sharper frame but is the main object is OOF but the other parts of the frame is in focus. When it comes to fixed focus in movie, it means a certain range at a certain length from the camera is in focus while continuous AF refocus to the object we wanted the camera to focus on. At this point of time, only the object is in focus. Btw, I believe the fixed focus during movie has a deeper DOF, which causes more things in focus. I really don't think your statement is valid. Anyway, this need to be experimented. Anyone can find a phone with almost similar bitrate to W that can record 720p and do Continuous AF then carry out the experiment. Sounds fun though biggrin.gif

continous autofocus is entirely software. any camera that has focusing capability can implement continuous autofocus as well.

but you wont be able to stand the noise that gets recorded in the video when the autofocus moves continuously. unless its a digicam/SLR with one of those ultrasonic motors.

hmmm... but then the SGW camera is not fixed focus. fixed focus as in Nokia's EDOF cameras have a deeper DOF and create larger files when recording videos.

with Samsung SGW and S2, the camera just focuses on a certain distance when the video recording begins and stays that way and the DOF is not that great to begin with.

Not all game save to /sdcard. By design, all App has 2 folders:

/data/app/app_package - this store the main apk
/data/data/app_package - this store all the game files, save game, etc

both of this are on the Device memory. however, most big game knows there is limited space in the device memory, they will use "getExternalFilesDir()" API to get the external storage. This actually resolved into "/sdcard/Android/data/app_package".

All these 3 folders will be removed when you uninstalled the game.

However, some lazy programmers (including all gameloft game) actually just hard coded "/sdcard/gameloft" into the code. These type of game may have function to remove the downloaded file, but if not, you may need to manually delete them.

if you have the money, SGS2 is the best choice.

How about Window's WMV file? It's incredible small even for 720p movie. I always convert to WMV first before uploading to Youtube.

To convert to WMV, just download and use Microsoft Essential's Movie Maker, it's free.

Good thing is, SGW can play WMV file natively without anything extra.

it is compatible for our processor and GPU, since it's playable on HTC snapdragon and same adreno 205 GPU.
somehow I install it said uncompatible. I guess not yet release for samsung phone?

even GTA such big games can play, or those brother in arms 2(1gb), golf 3 (1gb) and modem combat 3 also can.
backstab also same 1gb nia. should be ok. ><

Samsung was generous with Galaxy W, they included a lot of codecs.

if i am not mistaken, even FLAC support is there in the default music player

How about Window's WMV file? It's incredible small even for 720p movie. I always convert to WMV first before uploading to Youtube.

To convert to WMV, just download and use Microsoft Essential's Movie Maker, it's free.

Good thing is, SGW can play WMV file natively without anything extra.

use mp4 or 3gp.

continous autofocus is entirely software. any camera that has focusing capability can implement continuous autofocus as well.

but you wont be able to stand the noise that gets recorded in the video when the autofocus moves continuously. unless its a digicam/SLR with one of those ultrasonic motors.

Added on December 28, 2011, 1:54 pm
hmmm... but then the SGW camera is not fixed focus. fixed focus as in Nokia's EDOF cameras have a deeper DOF and create larger files when recording videos.

with Samsung SGW and S2, the camera just focuses on a certain distance when the video recording begins and stays that way and the DOF is not that great to begin with.
*
I mean fixed focus during video. No doubt the focus during video is fixed. tongue.gif
I understand the concept behind EDOF. Erm... But you also need to know that when a camera focuses a distance from the sensor, the DOF is actually deeper compared to close up. And actually due to the small sensor size, most camera phone has very deep DOF.

Btw, seems like most newer HTC got continuous AF, Galaxy S/SII also got Cont. AF. Why not in W??? doh.gif

Galaxy S2 continuous AF acts a bit weird if you ask me... most of the time its out of focus...

well, at least samsung gave us autofocus capable camera for such a low priced device...

I think all if not most of us rooted with this method. It's easy and fast. There's no harm to rooting, in fact, rooting brings more advantages for you since you have more control over your phone.

Hi, I'm noob in galaxy W. Bought it yesterday after my X10i gone dead without any warning. Tried to install firefox but it made Galaxy W hang and drain the battery like crazy. Couldn't shut the phone either, so I had to take out the battery.

Got few questions. I'm on Digi. I downloaded the MMS setting from digi website but I still can't send or receive MMS. 2ndly, If connected to usb, how to make it stop from sync continuously? Advices are much appreciated. Thanx in advance biggrin.gif

no use clearing the tasks cos they will pop out in the background again, hence using up more battery and RAM.

u can use tb pro ONLY if u root, but that is not the sole reason for rooting. There are plenty other benefits.

I see. did you root yours?
thinking to root if my default SGW pop out problem again on the media scanners.
and thinking to root to "release the full potential", remove those bloatware, freeze those apps (gmail, email, google map, facebook ) to keep on running at background.

freeze is better, you can always unfreeze it later. for better ram management, try supercharger script.

to install the ABD driver, just connect your galaxy w to the computer with the doomlord root file .. it will auto install the abd driver for samsung galaxy w.. .. after the installation complete then can start rooting ... dont need superuse or busybox all those .. already inside the doomlord zergrush rootkit .. i also root with this ..

after u connected ur device, try run adb devices at command prompt, if no device listing, it can be due to no drivers or u not enable usb debugging.

sounds more like screen time out setting - go to your settings > display area there and set a higher timeout. alternatively get an app like screen on toggler (my own app) - see my signature to temporarily toggle the screen timeout via the notification bar.

Due to many PMs to my inbox regarding how to root their samsung galaxy w .. let me spoonfeed you guys ..

1.) Download this DooMLoRD_v3_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su.zip

Link here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment...=1&d=1321435888

2.) Connect your phone to computer and wait for it to install the samsung ABD driver automatically.

3.) Unzip the root file you've downloaded. Open the .bat file and follow the on screen instructions before you continue rooting. Change the settings on your phone .. when everything is ok then start rooting.

4.) Wait for it to finish the rooting process. After that your phone will auto reboot.

5.) Take note you need to fully charge your phone before you start rooting to prevent suddenly power off .. your computer also same. If root halfway computer turn off might brick your phone ..

6.) If you see superuser in your apps list. Then you've rooted your phone successfully ...

Due to many PMs to my inbox regarding how to root their samsung galaxy w .. let me spoonfeed you guys ..

1.) Download this DooMLoRD_v3_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su.zip

Link here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment...=1&d=1321435888

2.) Connect your phone to computer and wait for it to install the samsung ABD driver automatically.

3.) Unzip the root file you've downloaded. Open the .bat file and follow the on screen instructions before you continue rooting. Change the settings on your phone .. when everything is ok then start rooting.

4.) Wait for it to finish the rooting process. After that your phone will auto reboot.

5.) Take note you need to fully charge your phone before you start rooting to prevent suddenly power off .. your computer also same. If root halfway computer turn off might brick your phone ..

6.) If you see superuser in your apps list. Then you've rooted your phone successfully ...

Ohh ya I just remove lots of bloatware .. now my normal running ram around 180-2oo mb only ... with wifi on its around 220 .

Those system apps that I didn't use were uninstalled but backup with titanium backup before doing so ..

If you have to ask why you should root it, then you shouldn't. Only root if you know that you need it.

guys,

managed to run the supercharge script, it really helps in running multiple apps (multitasking) since the ram is quite small for this device.

im impressed with the scripts so far.

These are the system apps that i've uninstalled ... so far no problem and my phone very responsive .. almost 85% optimum tweaks on stock rom ..

Setcpu min o.7ghz and max 1.4ghz on normal usage.
Min o.2ghz and max 1.0ghz when screen off.

Average ram usage around 220 to 270. Seldom go over 300mb unless open lots of small apps that wont trigger the ram manager to clear the ram. With MemoryBoost, its even better.. auto clear every 30minute ..

that sounds like hardware issue. android might auto reboot when there is a fault but it should not power off just like that...

Rooted already !!
Easy my friend,
1st you must install root xplorer - get it from market -

then download this file :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment...chmentid=777588

extract the file you download to your phone..the file name is vold.fstab.

Open your root xplorer, tap 'mount R/W' ..
then go to folder name etc, open that folder..and again tap 'mount R/W'

after that go to your downloaded file vold.fstab, copy the file and
place it into the etc folder..it will replace the original vold.fstab in
the etc folder.

and final step, tap and hold the new vold.fstab file that u just now put,
some command will pop up..tap the permissions and change d permission
to ( Owner - read & write), (group - read), (others - read) - just
uncheck the non related column and press ' OK '.

and now youre done.tap back the 'mount R/O' to change back
to ' mount R/W'..Reboot your phone n check ur new storage.


sweat.gif I forgot to tell u..Backup ur original vold.fstab in etc folder...copy it and
place it somewhere. In case you want to swap back ur memory..

Normally PDF is locked. You can choose to convert it to Office and then edit else there should be no solution. You can only create, you can't edit. Just my thoughts.
You rooted your phone?

I need permission before spending the money to buy this and it's very hard to get permission now because Chinese New Year (Dang...) is around the corner but I get angpaw money (Hurray??). Anyway...
