Sign up with telco only provided you used up the data package. Under utilized it you will be paying extra unnecessary monthly

Abnormal. Never happen to me since using phone last nov

Yes definitely . As long as is still on gingerbread

No need. Just pull down taskbar select usb connection. One step only

Than is your mac. Have no issue since 10.6.2 till now 10.7.3

Watch out for my review comparison next week
I m getting htc one x next monday

No plan to dump note cos nothing can match its 5.3 display
Bought htc just to test only. Probably sell off after enough play with it maybe 1-3 months

Restore it from titanium backup or google for apk file at xda
You can manually boot to recovery power+home+vol up to do backup

What is your kernel n firmware
Looks like you need flash kernel again

Vehicle dock no need to buy Samsung original. Just buy any of those cheap generic type will do fine. I am using such and it can even turn to landscape mode. Brand is ARKON. Important the 2 side claps must be extendable. Go to LowYat , look around so many choices now available

Settings/Privacy - select Factory data reset

In that case , remember to delete manually all your stuffs in the internal SDcard as these will remain after factory reset. factory reset only remove all apps in the hidden 2GB partition

YES - everything - your supporting apps data eg games data, dictionary, gps data etc etc. So copy all of these to your PC and copy it back to the new phone

This has been answered many times - infact latest was yesterday/
Just flash any deodexed prerooted rom using Odin example: no need downgrade and no triangle

Just 4 hours on Midnote 2.2 - no 3G issues ( i am on Maxis). Sometimes is due to telco line problems. Monitor it a few more days

What method you use ?
Switch off phone. Boot to recovery ( power+volup+home ) and wipe cache partition and reboot

Added on March 31, 2012, 10:45 pmBetter have it at at least 50% to be safe. If flash successful, 20 % still OK but if you run into continual bootloop habis -lah ! So be safe

NO need to use such memory booster apps or task killer apps. It will only make phone worse. Allow the phone system to manage memory. 250 MB free is still a comfortable figure. This is NOT windows so don't think of using it like you are using windows

This is a debatable topic. Personally I don't use any Task Killers. The official stand from Google is Task Killers are unnecessary for Androids.
I quote from Google :

By default, every application runs in its own Linux process. Android starts the process when any of the application's code needs to be executed, and shuts down the process when it's no longer needed and system resources are required by other applications.
A content provider is active only while it's responding to a request from a ContentResolver. And a broadcast receiver is active only while it's responding to a broadcast message. So there's no need to explicitly shut down these components.
Activities, on the other hand, provide the user interface. They're in a long-running conversation with the user and may remain active, even when idle, as long as the conversation continues. Similarly, services may also remain running for a long time. So Android has methods to shut down activities and services in an orderly way.

Watch this video and brief summary of it :

Refer this website to understand battery behaviour: http://batteryuniversity.com/

Simply, you can :

- charge it any levels . Infact do not charge it till 100 % full - stop at say 90+ %
- charge it as often as you like
