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 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'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.

No Fc when open sms via GO Locker lock screen. My FC only happen when open via notification pull bar. My FC happened only recently (abt 1 or 2 weeks after updated to 2.3.6). I dunno whether FC have any relation to push message setting or not but after I disabled it till now no more FC. Hopefully it stay that way.

Depends on how u use the phone. for sure running on 3g, playing hd games for long time ur phone batt will not last long.
Advice is to have car charger standby in ur car and portable batt charger if u are always on 3g and hd games.
*
other reason that make battery depleted very fast if signal very low. Phone will work harder. SGW got power saving feature in its stock rom. there are few setting you can adjust to make battery last longer.

GPS + Data Enabled doesn't drain battery so much if the signal that you received is strong. weak signal from wifi,gps and 3G will drain battery like crazy. I'm using Juice Defender (free version) and my battery still 50% around after 16 hours.

Papago or SYGIC

The dealer where I bought my SGW offered to install ori papago for rm50, I declined coz already have sygic bought online around rm80. From experience of using Mapking (on my ol CSL spice), papago & sygic on my SE x10 & now SGW, IMHO sygic is better gps app. abit expensive than papago but it has more features. Why don't you dload and try a trial version

RM50? For RM50 you better top up for ORI software. Those dealers won't be giving you full license. Those normally are pirated/cracked version.

Btw, I'm answering the question by MeowNYC. Personally, I won't be buying any of those software because I'm not serious in GPS. I don't drive. It only comes in handy to look up for a place offline or going out with a friend with car which wants to go to a place she/he doesn't know how to drive there. I don't use much so I won't spend money for those. For the time being, using ehem version only lo  rolleyes.gif

Those shops really cheat ppl one. Not ori still offer to install for RM50. If install once RM50... Install for 10 customer Rm500, 20 RM1000. Such a nice job? They also got it from online resources. Really black heart. This kind of dealer  laugh.gif

In that case, phone with physical keyboard is better suited.

Hello guys, I am having a little problem with my phone GPS...

I am using Sygic, but when my phone (galaxy W) try to getting the GPS signal, its very very slow... it takes very long to get all the signal... and sometimes when moving the signal will lost... its very hard for my phone to detect GPS signal...

However, my GF using Galaxy mini at the same time with me, she can get the GPS signal within 2 minutes... but mine still have to wait for signal for very long....
Can anyone help me solve this?
*
GPS locking shud be faster with data plan enabled (less than 1 minute). sometimes around 10 second. I guess it depends on your location (signal strength)

As im using it for a month already...Not quite much i can complaint about it...
The performance is just nice for a moderate user who like just using it for facebook and minigames per se...

The battery part, what can I say....Its a smartphone, so the battery drains a littlebit more faster
than Nokia 3310...Lulz....A little bit modification to the system will do....As ive heard the High Capacity
batt for SGW is coming, so take that in mind icon_rolleyes.gif

I used other android phones from different brands. the only 'different' is, samsung vibrate when switch off, while others vibrate when switch on.
