Ouch... I played games for 3 hours and V3 closed(ended by spamming posts laugh.gif) and now V4 comes.

Anyone have problem with FC of messaging? When you got a new message, you unlock the screen and messaging goes FC. Can be solved by a restart but it will happen after some time. Quite annoying. I think some apps caused that but I don't think I can find out what app is that. If anyone has permanent solution please do share.

I'm facing the same problem too (FC on sms). Mine is stock 2.3.6. FC happened only when I tried to open it via pulling down the notification bar. No FC if opened directly by clicking the sms icon. Mebbe it got to do with GO launcher that I'm using it. But previously it has no FC problem eventho it's on GO launcher hmm.gif
*
I'm also using 2.3.6 stock. In fact, the first two days I received the phone out of the box in 2.3.5 and never receive any message within that period. Then updated to 2.3.6. I'm having FC issue only when I try to UNLOCK the MESSAGE ICON on LOCKSCREEN. Only in LOCKSCREEN. After I unlock it, it pops up and FC. The first two times I encounter this I restarted the phone and this time I close all those background apps(Juice Defender Ultimate, 3G WatchDog Pro and Circular Battery Indicator. Then tried to send a sms to this phone and it works. I enabled them back one by one until all enabled but No FC Issue. rclxub.gif I don't think that got to do with push message.

QUOTE(emkay @ Jan 26 2012, 12:13 PM)
I think I found the cure for FC on sms. I disabled the push message setting in the sms setting and no more FC. received few smses after that and still ok. so far so good. I dunno what push message actually for.

I have Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo charger, Samsung Galaxy W charger, Samsung Galaxy R charger and Momax fast charger all can use.. as long it uses microUSB and same power input/output..and also the output is not more than 1A@1000mAh if not during charging your battery and phone become panas giler n can boil an egg tongue.gif

if u might get cap ayam itk punya pasar mlm brand.. u will notice while charging the touchscreen digitizer is less responsive due to incorrect power and quality of the charger.. always use original charger and high quality one.

here's a pic and see the power input/output is the same eventhough different brand.

No lea... Their power output is diffferent. Samsung 0.7A, Sony 0.85A while voltage is both 5V. Theoretically, that sony charger should charge your phone a little faster hmm.gif

can galaxy w play fullhd video?
*
Yes... Perhaps, No.
Yes because you can play 1080p with external video player, without Hardware Decoding(Means the Software decode it using CPU, not using GPU. Adreno 205 is not designed for 1080p decoding)
No because its video stutters BADLY even on external video player. Internal video player will say 1080p is unsupported. I'm using Vplayer. Video stutters, frame rate decrease a lot but audio plays no prob.

QUOTE(kayvan @ Jan 28 2012, 03:00 PM)
I did charge fully when the day I got the phone. The battery doesnt last even 8hrs, though I dont use the phone much. If I'm out the whole day then I guess half of the day gotta be without phone. I had sent my phone to the service centre tdy, at Samsung Plaza Service. I waited for solid ! hour, because alot of people were walking in with their mobile for repair as well and few with brand new mobile. Regret of getting samsung sad.gif Now my phone will take a week to get repaired. According to technician, the motherboard has worn out. How can a brand new phone's motherboard gets worn out in only 20days....Sadly, I had made the wrong choice.... I should have bought Iphone 4 lehhh :'( Now all my data from the phone is gone as I couldnt safe anything from the phone( phone couldnt be switched on)
*
8 hours? My longest record was 48 hours. Sometimes last for 8 hours or 12 hours but I want sleep d, just plug in the charger even though it still has 30~50% blush.gif We never knows how much we need it for a whole new day laugh.gif

BTW, if you planning to go for iphone/ipad, either you decide to Jailbreak it else you prepare to pay for those apps. The fun of android is, without rooting, you can still have very much fun with ur phone. Rooting just gives it EXTRASSSS.

Yours should be isolated case. Not a common case, at least none of us here faced the problem.

I bought mine (just few hours ago) 16GB Class 4 Kingston for RM59. 16GB Class 10 Kingston went for RM159, too expensive. Saw another brand, Patriot, 16GB Class 10 for RM89 but It's about 50% more expensive compare to Class 4 Kingston so I didn't buy that.

No FC issue for me on Papago. Yes, Garmin is still the best for me. Papago offers too less features. I haven't install SYGIC.

I bought mine 2 weeks ago and it only cost RM54 for Kingston 16GB while for 32GB Kingston it cost RM136.00. Class 4 micro sd wt adapter. Class 10 more expensive and can't get the price as they did not stock Class 10 micro sd.

Where u get RM54? I walked to my nearby mall and bought it for RM59. I survey lowyat price around RM58. No need go so far, save transportation, better I buy at that mall. The place i bought, All IT Express selling 16GB Class10 Kingston for RM159, Patriot for RM89. I'm not sure about Patriot brand so I got a 16 GB class 4 instead.

Backup using Titanium Backup. Move the backup folder from your SD card into your computer then flash to your new ROM. Once done flashing to new ROM, install back the Titanium Backup application and then move back the backup folder into your SD card. Finally, restore (with data) to all your apps  smile.gif

You can backup data from another device with titanium backup also laugh.gif

guys... what's your total ram? 351mb (based on apps) or 512mb (based on W official spec) ?
*
It's 512, but 512-351 reserved for system. You can check any android phone, you won't get full 512/1GB/... sure got part of it reserved for system.

QUOTE(kevintth @ Feb 2 2012, 11:59 AM)
i know if for pc we wont get exactly the same amount of ram as stated, ie. 512mb at least get 504mb...

but this... is too much different! 512mb we only got total ram of 350-360mb!  shakehead.gif
*
PC 512MB get 504? Quite impossible lea. PC should get full. Not full only if you shared memory for graphics.

QUOTE(Besanth @ Feb 2 2012, 05:20 PM)
Galaxy W sure does run out of battery very quickly when on Data. I run out of battery in easily 3 hours while heavy browsing. Anyone know how to increase battery life? Does the Cow ROM help with the battery life?
*
On Data(connected, less transfer) it should lasts a day. Around 3% an hour on standby. If keep on with data transfer then battery drop like water flow...

From my experience, if using 3g, the battery really consume very fast compare to WIFI... which use little bit of battery nia..

As for battery apps, AnTuTu's Battery Saver Free or Pro version is great. Easy to set.

Easy Battery Saver is great if your phone is on idle (screen locked), It really save lots of battery... coz all data / wifi already cut off... i dont know why even set to general mode... when screen locked it still disconnected all my wireless connection... i cant get notify when there is an incoming fb/ other background apps msg until you unlock your screen... which i dont like this setting.

Use juice defender ultimate. Really many options for you to set...

Can try downclock to 1GHz see whether smooth enough? I'm still on stock, not rooted and my friend using desire S not rooted too. When playing Where's My Water, seems like my battery drain a lot faster than his. But his chipset runs on 1GHz. Interested to know whether downclocking to 1GHz enough for daily use or not.

QUOTE(cowithgun @ Feb 3 2012, 02:01 PM)
Apparently the current lowmemory killer setting is kind of aggressive in killing app. Its difficult for me to open more than 4 heavy memory app. However I only experience 1 time lag for like 15 second when pvz got killed..

At the moment, I am fine with the setting since I prefer to give max memory to the current app by having aggressive low men killer. This is good for game which I don't run more than one at a time. But if you multi task a lot, I recommend to use super charger v6, to change to multi taking setting.


Added on February 3, 2012, 2:03 pm

yes. you can change to any other launcher you like. install your launcher first, then, delete the zeam launcher from /system/app.

the setting i used to make launcher stick in the memory will be applied to your new launcher.
*
Your low memory killer refer to android default or you did something to that? Why Samsung always choose to close Launcher before any other apps... My launcher needs reload everytime I exit from a game (where's my water, cut the rope... ... ...) or after browsing full web(Youtube, desktop version or flash game). Kinda annoying. I'm making myself to get pissed off very soon so that I will root this bloody device laugh.gif laugh.gif

I am confuse... as far as i know, there are 3 layer memory, does apps 2 sd really move apps to external "sd card" or internal sd?

when i check EXTERNAL sd under my files apps, nothing inside the folder... so i dont know where it actually moved to...
*
It moves to EXT_SD. I tried once but then moved them back to Internal memory. My micro SD only for SYGIC Map and 5GB++ of songs. 16GB left 6~7GB at expense. All picture/video taken also in micro SD. Internal memory 3XXMB/0.99GB free. USB Storage 7XXMB/1.7GB free. I think that's fine. Like that I take out micro SD at most I can't listen to music and use SYGIC. I still got Papago in USB Storage laugh.gif

isnt it partially moved... the map can be moved to sd card also? i haven't install any gps apps yet just bought a memory card today... biggrin.gif

SYGIC can straight put in External SD. Tested. Papago need recompile APK to move it to external. I keep papago in Internal because its map is more complete compared to SYGIC map.

Get the apk here: http://www.mediafire.com/?b1f6ord39a4z7fe

3. What app? I need to test this.

About antutu score, your phone is still runing at 1.4ghz by default. You need SetCPU to set it to 1.8ghz, then you should see improvement on the score.

Cow~ Try downclock to 1GHz and use for a day or two and review it here?
My friend Nexus S runs buttery smooth on 800MHz. More lagless than my phone. 4.0.3 Custom ROM though.
