Guys, I have flashed my SGW to Cynogen Mod 10 and is now running on Jellybean 4.1.2
I wanna sync my contacts from the kies software but it will not connect.. why is that? and is there another way to sync the contacts that I have on the pc to the SGW? |

QUOTE(changsheng12 @ Jan 20 2013, 08:04 PM) flash ics/gb and get your contact back, then make a backup by exporting your contact to sd card. Flash cm10 again and import the contact from sd card. ouch... its enough hassle to flash to jb only to find out that kies doesn't work with custom roms... oh well.. I guess keying in everything should be more fun |

QUOTE(dreamfasten @ Jan 25 2013, 05:14 PM) my galaxy W gps is very bad. it always takes more than 10 minutes to find my current location. anyway to improve it? are you in an open area? depending on where you are, the satellite might have difficulties locating you.. my SGW is quite snappy with google maps on GPS... |

QUOTE(sheraton @ Feb 5 2013, 10:27 AM) Hi guys, Nope, 3G connectivity is constant on mine Do u have problem to get 3G signal with this phone? If i set network GSM/WCDMA (auto mode) i always get Edge signal, never go to 3G or H. If i switch it to WCDMA only in setting, it'll get 3G just for few seconds then disconnect from the network totally. Can't even get phone signal after that. I'm using Maxis 3G btw. Appreciate your input. Vincent  check with your service provider or location?Currently on Digi Unlimited 68 mostly in KL area |

QUOTE(Positron @ Feb 5 2013, 11:40 PM) Hello everybody, new user for Samsung Galaxy Wonder.. you probably could just move the app into the MicroSD, would be better considering the limited memory the phone hasI am "wonder" ing how to increase the usb storage on the Galaxy Wonder.. I wanna play Dark Knight Rises but the additional file is 1.9GB.. Can I put it on the external memory card? Thanks. QUOTE(alpha91 @ Feb 6 2013, 12:54 PM) sorry, noob question here. i can i know what is CM9 and CM10 ?

QUOTE(alpha91 @ Feb 8 2013, 12:56 AM) i see... can i know what is the advantage to install custom ROM ? and lets say i install custom ROM already, is that possible to restore all my data like contact, whatsapp account, sms while still using custom ROM ? whatever apps you ahve installed will be reloaded once you login to your account on the device after flashing... same goes to your contacts so make sure to backup into Google or use Titanium backupi done CWM. |

QUOTE(changsheng12 @ Mar 6 2013, 07:01 PM) Just wanted to point out that JB for our phone is now 99% stable with the exist of kernel 3.x u have the link for kernel 3.x?? mine is still at 2.6++ cause I feel like I'm looking at a Tie-rack when I look at the links XDA forum has lolz..There's nothing to afraid of while flashing a rom. You can backup your sms and call log with apps on market. Backup all your apps+data with Titanium backup. Your contact will also in sync with your gmail account. So, there is nothing to afraid of. |

QUOTE(changsheng12 @ Mar 8 2013, 03:39 PM) download cm10 rom from this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1990795 then you can use the Gapps from 1st link. Btw, i think you misunderstood the meaning of cm10 and JB rom already. Jellybean = an os system. Android version 4.1.2 CM10 = cynogenmod10 ( It's a custom rom based on Jellybean os ) CM9 = cynogenmod 9 which based on ICS os Hope this helped.  I might have been confused lolz ok thx for the link, will reflash/upgrade the rom tonight |
