What the... at that price that unit better have some defects or damage because it's totally not worth it to sell it off at that price. Even the SGA which is over a year old still can fetch about RM400-500.

Afaik, SGS2's pricing really depreciated alot after the release of the Note and GNex. The SGS2 i9100G's pricing would dip faster than the regular i9100 too iinm. hmm.gif
*
No matter G or non-G, still quite capable. Just wait for the update to ICS to unleash the power biggrin.gif The G version has about same spec as GNex, seeing how GNex can do with the 720p screen, I believe SGS2 can do more with the 800*480 screen laugh.gif

*However, I still don't like the Green/Blue tint on SGS2/Nexus S, the AMOLED Tinting? Something like that. Haven't got a chance to have a close loop on GNex whether it has such problem or not*

Edit: Oops... It's TIOMAP4460 vs 4430. Former designed to run stable at 1.5, uced to 1.2 on GNex while 4430 designed for 1.2GHz, higher clocked GPU on 4460 too (384 vs 304). That makes the difference hmm.gif
Reading data from ti website says one can handle 1080p stereoscopic while the other 720p
One can handle 5MP Stereo camera(3D), the other one got 12MP laugh.gif

hello guys
i want to ask
my friend's galaxy w always got random shutdown and the gps is unusable
like in papago waited about 15 minutes still no lock
izit about the firmware?
*
Check the firmware, if there's an update, just update it.
Settings->About phone->Software Update
The DXLC build is quite a lot more stable than previous build. The value pack build should be coming soon. Heard to be even more stable drool.gif

Papago which version? X5? I only used X5, seriously it just takes forever to lock. Not sure why. I normally give the gps lock using GPS status first before I open up X5 or SYGIC. If it's X5, take note that the voice won't work on W. The too-old-software not supported fully by the newer W. Not sure what causes the problem though. I tried papago M9, the chinese version. Not fully compatible. The screen must be in portrait instead of landscape. Need to set in the option to keep it in portrait mode.

getting more frustrated with my w...battery life sux...straight use on wifi can only last for 5 hours

What do you mean "straight use". Define "straight use".
5 hours youtubing "straight"?
5 hours online podcasting + gaming "straight"?
5 hours web surfing "straight"?
Just be more precise nod.gif
Mine can stand one day on full wifi + an hour of data outside (go out makan twice a day). Overnight 8 hours idle drain only about 4~5%. 7 at most.

Will use phone mic? What's the meaning? You mean you plugged in a Headset and wanted to use the headset as handsfree with mic on it? Don't get you~

5 hours web surfing straight bro..even lower if using 3g..been like since i bought it cry.gif

doh.gif doh.gif How come yours terbalik
Mine even if idle on data it will drain 2~3% per hour but on wifi it's barely even 1%.
When using, also data eat a lot more laugh.gif
But if 5 hours screen on, keep surfing, then possible. Ya, our phone is small, screen is small but battery also smaller compared to other phone. With other phones, I believe you'll get about the same result too, won't be a big difference depending on battery capacity and screen size. Screen and data is the most battery consuming aspects in my opinion (means 'I THINK SO') Normally I use whole day, screen on is about 3 hours until my next recharge. So if you're looking at 5 hours straight web surfing, keep touch here and there, confirm will die before 5 hours. You can't compare this to tablets (Whether you are or you ain't, just sharing xD). Normally tablet has really large battery, like the 800mAH in Tab 10.1, that's massive capacity enough for it to last 10 hours surfing. I don't think phone can last that long. Never really surf 5 hours straight. I rather do that with my laptop. Never have another phone to test too. This is my first and only android laugh.gif *But I think 5 hours non-stop, not many phone can really do that doh.gif *

laugh.gif That's the problem. Don't expect it to go full on for 5 hours. 1700mAH? Will that makes much difference? Third party usually not that efficient so I doubt it makes much difference tongue.gif Just my 0.02, no specific sources~

Anyway, do a backup if you can. Even though I didn't do one tongue.gif
Coz the update is quite glitchy. The first attempt, it will sort of like "install" the driver for the phone, requires a restart of laptop then the phone will get disconnected. Restart your laptop and do it again. This process got a bit of risk in it coz it's like being disconnected half way through. But so far no one complaint on bricking their phone or anything by doing so. If everything messed up, you got to find samsung to settle it laugh.gif But i think it won't thumbup.gif

Edit: After update it'll still be 2.3.6. The build number is different though. The newest build is DXLC

Time to dump W and get S3
*Dreaming~ If and only if I have the money*
*Dreaming~ 4.8" SAMOLED HD drool.gif *
*Dreaming~ 990ms to launch camera with that erm... not too sexy gesture~*
*Dreaming~ Wireless charging (not practical since it's not a huge range, just that no need plug cable)*
*Dreaming~ NFC, SBEAM This is freaking awesome! It's nothing too new but still it's awesome. Tap the phone together then bang, file transfer through wifi!*
*Dreaming~ 2100mAH Battery~ Even though this is nothing compared to Motorola RAZR MAXX(not avail in m'sia, not gsm device, 3XXXmAH) but still it's larger than One X(One X keep appearing on the side of this thread. Hate it...)*
*Dreaming~ ICS!!!!! But it's not so cool. I don't really like Samsung overlaid UI*

Hey, I recently updated my phone into the CM9 w/ ICS. It is perfectly fine and the interface is beautiful. I only have one problem with it, the camera isn't working and I can't even use a 3rd party camera. I downloaded Camera360 but it keeps popping up asking me to enable 'hardware compatibility mode'. It says that I can enable it through Settings but I can't seem to find it. I can't even upload pictures to Instagram since the camera isn't working. This problem is turning to an annoyance right now. Could someone please help me solve this? Thank you.

Wow! You flashed a custom rom without even bother reading its thread/release note??? I haven't flash it but I read it... It's stated that, it's Alpha version and states what hardware are not working... Camera is one of them. It's not software problem but a driver issue. They don't have the appropriate driver for the camera. It's like your computer. If you got a printer, you got the software, but you don't install the driver for the printer, how do the software communicate with your computer and your computer communicate with the printer? Get it??? shakehead.gif Next time make things clear before you ask and before you even do it. Although you're the TS of this thread that has long disappeared yawn.gif

QUOTE(AlexLai @ May 5 2012, 08:29 PM)
When they said the camera can't be used, it means the camera in all its meaning is not usable at all.  sad.gif

No driver for the camera so the camera you have is essentially just an ornament at the moment. That's just the usual problem when CM is in their alpha stage.

cool2.gif I send you go abduct Samsung CEO force them to release the driver in 1 hour

I have some battery question , let say , idle with stock apps running came with the phone .How long does it last ?
With just flight mode on , no wifi no data no gps and etc ?

If going for 1-2 hours recording + camera shoot , how long does it last ?
*
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 laugh.gif
