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™.

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.

OMG..this really worries me...as im only use this phone for data plan only...

Hmm, I thought my gf to turn off data packets, but apparently it still sucked away 15 ringgit of her credit. Any idea what went on? I don't want to have to go delete the APNs.

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.

hey...thats weird...once u off data packet..the phone wont be able to connect to sync or what so ever..

have u try call ur gf telco ask about this??
