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.

Heard that our sgw uses dragontrail glass... Better if not on par with Corning gorilla glass ...Japanese company .. Asahi

But someone cracked its screen on first page. If it's dragontrail, I believe it won't crack that easily.

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

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 
Its like on a Iphone 

previously this phone was struggling and really lags to even play angry birds, now its just smooth
like on my galaxy w. 
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.
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.
*
~~ You can always flash it to original Firmware and try before flashing to CM9. ICS shouldn't be bad.

Can anyone tell me how much you bought samsung galaxy W and what it comes with? (Name all the accesories in the box.)
*
In the box, all accessories are standard. They'll be no difference. Anything extra is outside the box. Refer first post for pricing. Don't be lazy. Forumers here did quite a good job. Don't waste their effort.


Cowithgun... Why don't you quote everything and reply at once. Flooded with your post. Anyway... http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2125489/+2500#entry47687570 you mentioned, is done to the apk or what? I mean, those commands will be applied on to the apk? Or it set the phone to install into external SD? Not really research deep into all this. Should get my hands dirty soon. laugh.gif

ok, got the size, and it is also quite big, 2.36 minutes, 100.1Mb.... but still a bit small than ours.. do the math, LOL..
*
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

QUOTE(jananan @ Dec 28 2011, 12:44 PM)
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.
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.


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

too bad I can't find any app to create or edit pdf file 1. ><
anyone know the name of that apps?

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... I'll be getting it quite soon. Hope digi won't Out of Stock again else I sure vmad.gif vmad.gif vmad.gif

that 1 trigger my data. so i didn't put it on homescreen then no problem.

auto off only happen to 1-2 people among us all.
and sometime fast reboot occur on android phone when too heavy things load. i happen 1-3 times when end heavy games or some "weird games".
Some games is either compatible or not compatible to SGW,
but some is half half, which I open 3 times, only 1 time can go into the games and play. sometimes it trigger fast reboot. so i uninstall the game. lol

besides earpieces not loud, I just got the media scanner problem,

1080p mp4 and avi is is smooth, able to get 30 fps, mkv and mpg is very laggy when fast forwarding

@Xabrius Confirm 1080p no problem? If I'm not wrong, Adrene 205 can't actually encode and decode 1080p video. Only up to 720p. I'm wrong??
