Why don't you buy from their online store? 3 working days confirm arrive
*
buy from their store, they will help you activate e-warranty. If not have to call Samsung or go to authorised Samsung shop to ask for e-warranty activation.

Buy from online store is convenient if you do not want to register new line unless you are already postpaid subscriber for at least 3 months.

Hi, was thinking of buying this phone. Just want to ask about problems that I might encounter using this phone. Does the phone crash or get frequent lags? Coz I've been getting reports from friends that Android lags quite often (and this is only a single core phone).

Thanks a lot.
*
Lag because of the RAM is small despite it has a sigle core 1.4ghz processor faster than S2 dual core processor. If you get S2, you won't see the lag.

* It does not lag much if you don't have many background apps opened.

Could it be because of no ICS upgrade they sell off right now since value still high? and probably switch to xperia ray to get ICS

OR... because all the secondhand units are from DiGi or Umobile since they can get W so cheap from them, they just want data lolx....

I wanna ask if Skullcandy earbuds work with this phone? I know it has a 3.5mm jack but my x10 mini pro has the same 3.5mm "hole" and it doesn't emit the sound properly when plugged fully into the phone. Will this happen to Galaxy W as well?

I'm thinking of getting one under uMobile plan, cheapest in the long run for a student like me! XD
*
i'm not sure yours can work or not, for me, i use my previous Samsung phone, Wave, it's in-ear earphone, but it does not work properly with W. Like you said,, the sound not properly emit. sad.gif

Pardon some noobish question, never used a Android phone b4.

I am considering W or Note. Question,

1) I noticed the screen resolution is different so will 3rd party app/games scale nicely on it?

2) Is Papago running smooth in W?

3) Is W processor good enough to play most games? Are there any games that it cannot play because require faster processor like Note/Nexus? How will I know the app/games is not compatible with W?

Thanks ahead for the reply

You have the budget, go for note smile.gif
Big screen, super amoled, HD, dual core, bigger battery capacity somemore, like that can enjoy playing hd games till the max! rclxm9.gif

Harmful in terms of what eh? Ermm from my opinion its nothing because you see sometimes
if you open sumthing like Settings/Message and exit...It just wont close infact they just lay low inactive...
So if clear memory its just disable the apps....maybe im wrong....

Just went Senq. Saw Note vs W, and concluded Note is too big for me. So bought W after consideration of how I would be using it mainly for web, email, whatapp, GPS only. Gaming, multimedia I have IPAD2 always with me.

1) The preloaded firmware is 2.3.6, Baseband: I8150DXKL1
Is this the latest official samsung firmware? If not, mind point me to the official firmware for Malaysia?

2) If I am connected to 3g and wifi, when browsing the net which connection will it use?

3) How do i sync my outlook contacts with W? No CD is provided
*
yes, 2.3.6 is the latest, wifi priority.

You can try go to any authorised Samsung mobile phone shop to activate e-warranty. You can instantly get the confirmation from Samsung sms.

guys, please DONT drain your battery to 0% unless you doing calibration. it will hurt your battery more.

Bro, is it harmful if i plug in usb cable when the phone left 50% battery to let them charge via usb port? For this W, i never plug in usb port yet lolx

From my previous experience, i always did like that to my current 1.5 years Wave, now its battery already gone 'insane'... when the phone's battery level reached 50% like that, i try restart the phone, it straight fall to red level (10% left like that) so i have to recharge it. But if the phone battery only 60% left, restart it, no problem, still can get back to 60%. Is it battery spoilt already?
