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

Sygic is better than papago or mapking. I used them before in my X10i and CSL Spice. If I'm not mistaken, between 3 of them only sygic can search destinations by entering gps coordinate.

Regarding DIGI mms. Last time when I used Xperia X10i, I din have to turn the data enable on to be able sending and receiving mms. I wonder why galaxy w doesn't have feature like that.

QUOTE(cowithgun @ Jan 4 2012, 11:43 AM) Sygic is a better GPS than Papago, but Papago can use malfreemap (local community map) which has more POI. POI is important if you like to search for tower/places by name. Moreover, for unknown reason, Sygic can only find nearby POI. So, if you are in KL, and would like to find something in PD, you will not find it. I keep both GPS in my SGW. My sygic works fine. It can find what ever street name (provided it is not the latest one). But bear in mind that sometimes sygic street name is slightly different than our usual postal street name.

I bought SUN.U soft gel casing. I think it is one of the best casing. A bit bulky but I like the 'protection' it gives. All buttons are covered. nice opening for all the ports

Do not install firefox. It will make your phone hang and freeze.

QUOTE(Imbecile @ Jan 6 2012, 09:18 AM) @turtle85 i feel you, got mine yesterday(alot of lowyat got it yesterday, coincident?) was admiring my new phone, la~la~la~la~ at evening check my prepaid balance, from 60 to zero(a few cent left) and i don't even know what have been download into my phone(i don't touch/dl anything yet) me smartphone noob, gg.  and i got question, do i need to create google account to use some of the app like market, and other stuff? Yes, u nid a google account. better to have it coz all your contacts can be safely kept in the 'cloud' and to download apps from market. Better subscribe to the unlimited 1GB dataplan. Dataplan is around rm38 per month (digi & celcom). if using prepaid, turn off the Data enable.

QUOTE(Rolland @ Jan 7 2012, 01:52 AM) Thanks for replying  ..i want to freeze it bcos any apps u kill or exited end up being run back mysteriously and take up the phone memory..how inconvenience is android being like this >.< Samsung program monitor is so good that it totally exit apps and it will clear the memory that the apps have taken. And is too good that it disable my usual alarm app (alarm clock plus)  and cost me my daily routine. Samsung has put in few apps that you have no nid to install 3rd party apps.
