Today I'm quite pleased with my SGW performance. After I did some spring cleaning of my internal memory, the multi taskings are smooth. No lagging. Mine is stock ROM. I wish I can transfer the sygic aura to external sd. Currently it sit in 2nd. layer (View from file explorer in samsung kies)

QUOTE(ciwek90 @ Apr 12 2012, 08:03 PM) Guys, i already swap the memory via vold.fstab. And now phone sd card is 1.7gb and usb is 14gb. But what i dont understand now is when i move apps to sd card, sd card memory (1.7gb) will reduce to 1.5gb. Why? Why it not move to 14gb? i already swap it. so confuse now. aaaaaa..!!  I think some apps still 'confused' with SGW 3 layer memory. Like sygic, eventho it can be move to external sdcard, but becoz of 3 layer, the apps are moved to 2nd layer which is still the internal memory. IMO,the apps should allow user to manually move to it to specific location (internal or external) memory

Today I managed to get free space of 1GB out of the internal memory at the expense of some apps not working properly. Guys, do you know any apps mover app that allow users to manually move apps to specific location? Currently I'm using App 2 SD but it can only move app to fixed location only.

QUOTE(GrandElf @ May 2 2012, 05:15 PM) this phone seems a bit lagging always......do ur phone like tat?? sometimes even scrolling between pages will lagg and most obvious is when playing games like cut the rope.... Last time my phone lagged so bad that it takes few seconds to navigate between 'windows'. I cleared up the internal memory (now have 800mb free) and everything is back to normal. Sometime apps might occupied the RAM that coz it to be laggy even with 800mb free

QUOTE(IwanAGP @ May 6 2012, 08:30 PM) Erm... for first question, normal user won't let it idle like that without touching it. In my usage, idle for 8 hours, sleeping, with wifi on, flight mode off, 100%->96% with wifi off, sometimes 96% sometimes 99%, not sure what's happening in background causing the difference but I don't care... It's just merely 3% difference Never try this, this ain't mean for recording/camera pun. It's just not up to standard. But surfing wise, normally my battery deplete with just 2 hours~3hours screen on time. Sometimes data sometimes wifi. Anyway, also not something did by normal user. The camera is still fine but the recording, it does not auto focus, cannot choose in focus area, it ain't good for movie recording. What it has is just 720p, that's all  For video recording, the camera is doesnt have realtime autofocus but it good enuf. just dont shoot very close to the subject.

QUOTE(Luminous2 @ May 9 2012, 02:36 AM) can this phone go wifi to surf/use whatsapp/viber without data? my stupid BB cant even go wifi when im overseas  SGW will automatically switch to wifi mode from data mode once it detect a wifi signal that you already have accessed before.

Thanks kopipeng, managed to test face unlock. it takes few seconds recognise my face ha ha. wonder it'll work next time. I guess the system actually measure your eyes, not the actual face.

QUOTE(wemglucas3 @ May 16 2012, 03:10 PM) Hi guys, its good to read that our SGW finally got its update again  but unfortunately im in office now, will update tonight once back home ! anyway, is there any improvement besides face lock and the snap pic while video recording features ? and issit safe to update now ? cuz saw some said its not officially yet ? I updated it via samsung kies, so I think it is official update. I think it perform slightly better than the previous one. but I think it's running a lil' bit hotter (above 30 celcius) or mebbe becoz I'm charging it.
