I have an issue here, my Galaxy W will restart itself when the RAM has reach its limits. I've been killing apps oftenly and end all applications when im not using it but still it will restart itself every 2 days.

anyone encounter this problem? something wrong with my phone? bought it in March this year.

Phone will auto reboot if your ram exceed the limit. Main cause is maybe your background apps running too much. try to use task killer on market and remove unnecessary processes. If your phone are rooted, use Titanium Backup to freeze unnecessary apps. It might help you out smile.gif

Anyway, do join us here -> https://www.facebook.com/groups/galaxyw/

means it's normal if the phone reboot?
I haven't root my phone yet, dare not to do it cause im afraid the phone will jam or something. will try one day.
lots of unneccessary apps running itself like Map, Gmail. very irritating :/

and i'd like to ask what is firmware and Kies update? must update all these? and I tried to update my phone a week ago, but it's still DXLC1 :/

anyway, thank you very much!
*
Yeah, your phone cant stress it self, so he reboot biggrin.gif. Yeah, Maps, Email can be freeze using Titanium Backup and 100% will not harm your phone. I also did that. Just root, nothing bad gonna happen smile.gif

NEVER NEVER AND EVER update your phone thru KIES. 90% including me got phone soft bricked after updating firmware using KIES. Just dwld new stock rom(if you wish to ) and flash it via ODIN. head to the group for more info and assist smile.gif Download latest firmware, and your kernel will be XXLM8 smile.gif

Seriously? I'm not active in the group but so far as I concerned, everyone here who updated through kies (in fact, I suggested so...) had not return saying that their phone is softbricked or anything. For me, I found out that updating via kies will fail the first time(real first time) you update your phone through kies. It tends to sort of install a driver when you first update it through kies, causing the phone to be disconnected when it's in download mode. I discovered this both on my bro's Galaxy Mini and my W. Only the very first time (first time update through kies, including previous version updates). That is, when I update to DXLC1, it failed the first time, I reboot the phone then reupdate then it goes well. When I update from DXLC1 to DXLM3, it just update in one go. Same goes to the Galaxy Mini  wink.gif

Just my experience. Whether you agree or not, you may comment on what I'm saying. I'd be glad to listen to them  nod.gif

Yeah maybe for the 1st time only since I only tried it ONCE. Hahah, shock with 1st time got soft brick, I rather download 3xx MB file and flash it via ODIN and got XXLM8 kernel. After got the soft brick, my phone just stay at Galaxy Wonder thingy and keep hangs there. Entering download mode and flash via odin is the simple way ^^ Some more, I already freeze KIES and now enjoying my custom rom which is Hybrid v2 smile.gif Other people, other opinion, am I right? biggrin.gif

Wow... Yours is really softbricked.  doh.gif But you're already using custom rom. I got too much data. Thinking whether I should move on to custom rom. Cow's v7 is based on DXLM3?
*
After having the softbrick. I moved to custom rom hybrid v2. Bionic using cow kernel. which is specialist for gaming. Bionic cow is top rom for gaming biggrin.gif
Cow based on DXLC1 but you can change the kernel to XXLM8 using flashable kernel thru cwm.

But seems like the camera bug will be solved in few weeks time. They've got it working with 'Silent Camera'. That's a good move! A good sign  thumbup.gif

hello all sifus, i just bought a W today and i am trying to connect to my PC via cable but can't so i tried

"How do I enable my phone to connect to Kies?
Disable USB debugging
Setting > Applications > Development > untick Enable USB Debugging

KIES is often reported to be unreliable especially on Win 7 systems. You do not need KIES to have phone detected by PC> Install KIES if you need to sync data ( eg contacts, address, music etc ) with phone."

still can't because it tells me to insert some CD. please help!!

why you need that useless KIES? ohmy.gif

hello, can anyone here provide me link for OC kernel which can be flashed via CWM. I did found but need to flash manually, and some said problem with the dhd.ko file makes the wifi problem.  thank you very much.

What kernel do you want? Paste on sdcard, boot into recovery mode and flash it. Volla!

Cow's kernel :

may i know the advantages to flash kernel?

Each kernel give different pro and cons. For Cow's kernel its best for gaming and performance and for XXLM8, its for daily uses. average
