Just wanna ask eh, i rooted my W yesterday, nao running rooted on stock rom.. i was wondering could we move everything from the internal SD to the external SD? The reason i ask is that my Ext is a 16gb card, plus i was thinking wanna do a data backup & store it in my int SD, last nite done it with Titanium everything bekap inside int SD the memory is full already.. dayummm..

P.S> I mean move all APPS & files to the ext SD.. notworthy.gif

I am very pissed off with Samsung. Bought the phone in December last year. Used less than 1 week already died. The shop send for repair and gave me all sorts of story until today. My money gone, I don't have my phone. Although they tell me Samsung will give replacement but March coming and I still don't have my phone! I am pretty much stuck in no where land. I want a refund, I don't want the phone anymore. Pui!!

Sorry to hear about that bro.. sweat.gif

Yup I think it was overheating. The back was hot. My speed was only 8xx and wasn't running anything. I think it rebooted and went back to 1401 Hz. Then started rebooting.

I can't enter CWM. Cause it keeps rebooting at samsung screen. I can enter download mode though. ( Home  + Power + Volume Down ) . Do I flash back to 2.3.6? Can I get the firmware from samsung site?

Thanks cow.  notworthy.gif

Why every time my RAM will drop to 50+/350 after I switched ON my phone for around 2 days (48hours)....

By that time, I must restart my phone to become 16x/350 RAM back...If I dint restart, my phone will be abit laggy or even hang....

Why my phone RAM will suddenly gone like this??? Android memory management really so bad??? =(
*
Instead of restarting why don't u just clear the memory using android own task manager? i always do that for extra ram space.. hmm.gif hmm.gif

Erm... If unrooted, on stock rom, clear memory only gives you some memory. For my case, i rooted, still stock rom, applied v6 supercharger, it changes how the clear memory works too. It clears totally everything. Even launcher and those notification icon(some apps like 3g watchdog/onavo/viber) on top
Erm... Because android tends to keep those frequently used data inside ram for fast access. I get what you mean. I know because i've gone through that. There's no way to get back the ram. Just restarting it is the easiest. You can also try loading a full flash webpage. That will force android to kill all the running apps due to the amount of memory needed to load those flash content. You will find that when you exit your 'Internet'. Your ram will be around 1XXMB/351MB. Means nearly 200mb free ram. This is what I observed. But I don't think restart is such a big prob. I always restart  laugh.gif

Hmmm notice that when i was using stock rom too but now using kezra-planes rom, stable so far plus when i clear memory it really does clear out quite a chunk of it.. thumbup.gif
Tested twice cow's rom also but it didnt suit me, plus when on it i donno why there were some issues with my phone.. hmm.gif

USB isit? After you install kies, (without usb debugging mode ticked), you can just go to My Computer. You can see your phone as portable device(or something like that). From there you can access your phone and copy files out directly. Or if you want it to be in Mass Storage mode, Go to settings->applications->development->Tick usb debugging. After you tick this, Kies won't work. If you want to use back kies, just untick it. Now you can see your USB Storage and External SD as single drives in your 'My computer'
*


i used the usb debugging mode to access but and removable disk G: appear. I clicked on it and error - please insert a disk to removable disk(G)
sigh..anyone encounter such problem..?

Do u have a memory card inserted into ur W?

Pick fast then just enable it.. by default it will highlight fast eventho u already set smooth or vice versa..
Try it see if it could help ur points a bit..

After change to fast, manage to get 4137... but cow using non oc already 4909... yawn.gif

Well i guess it could have been done with a good SDcard plus maybe his rom was fully without any bloatwares or any unneeded apps.. hmm.gif
Why do u really need to bother actually? I think u better stop worrying bout the benchmark & just enjoy the goodness that the rom brings to ur W yoo biggrin.gif

Since the other specs not so different i thought i might as well just get the Galaxy W, can save money  smile.gif

is the AMOLED really worth the extra buck ? can really notice different between Galaxy W and S Plus screen ?

and i just found out about Galaxy R, that one got dual core right ? i'm considering that one too now  hmm.gif
*
Well i tested my friend SGII, its screen does have better black, but then again W screen is no slouch either, way better than ACE & Y screen for sure.. laugh.gif

If its me and i have the money i dont mind forgoing the AMOLED screen for a dual core cpu HP like R, my friend in SG is using it and he has no complaints smile.gif
The thing that isnt that good is that in Msia its only AP right? hmmmm
