but the mugen extended battery will make the i780 phone looks wierd lar... uneven at the back...

But i heard from some forumers that i780PDXHI1 ROM which is the WM 6.1 doesn't have the threaded SMS and requires 3rd party software to read chinese character... hmm... not sure if this is true or not...

it's strange that i couldn't tweak the registry of this official ROM i780PDXHI1 with Resco Registry... each time i tweak it and reset the PDA, the registry value automatically changed back to the initial value... hmm...

xda forummers found the path to download the official WM6.1 ROM from SAMSUNG and you can upgrade it by yourself...

**upgrade at your own risk and only for PDX version phone...

For XP
Modem Driver : http://uk.samsungmobile.com/pmgmvst.do?vis...970107&coflag=0
Executable ROM : http://fus.samsungmobile.com/i780/sea/PDXH...Upgrader_XP.exe

For Vista

Executable ROM : http://fus.samsungmobile.com/i780/sea/PDXH...rader_Vista.exe

I'm using the PDXHL2 ROM (WM 6.1) with my phone now by upgrading using the path posted above and it's pretty stable and fast.
The official WM 6.1 released by the SAMSUNG FMG here is still on the version PDXHI2 (this version is older than the PDXHL2) and the HI2 ROM is also pretty stable when I used it last time.
The only problem I've got with the HI2 ROM is that it's not able to view Chinese character. HL2 ROM released has fixed this issue.

On your question contact 'assistant', may I know what are you referring to?

Are you referring to when you create a new SMS, you want to type the name in the 'To' column and a list of matched name from your contact list pop up. If you're referring to this, then HL2 ROM have no issue on this and I remembered that HI2 ROM is also okay with this function.

hmm... strange as i don't encounter this issue on my phone running the L2 ROM...

anyone knows how much they are selling for the i780 battery? thanks...

i see... but then that one only punch out 950mAh juice while our standard one pumps out 1480mAh of juice leh... kenot tahan lar hahaha...
actually i was looking for an extended battery for i780 with the same size of the current one... i know that Mugen got this enormous 3000mAh juice powerplant but then it comes in the form of gigantic size and additional plastic cover... it's a bit horid... hahaha... anyway thanks dude...


as i'm now scouting for a new battery, i visited the Malaysia Samsung i780 site and the battery capacity is shown as 1140mAh and not 1480mAh as stated in the Samsung global i780 site i wrote to Samsung MY for inquiry and to my surprise, they replied to me and confirmed it's 1140mAh??!!..

anyone knows how to check the capacity of the battery coz i can't find it printed on the battery itself...

yup, that's the horid looking Mugen Battery... but then when time comes and i kenot find any other extended battery, i may opt for that...

the momax battery capacity too small liao... the current one already draining too quick liao if i change to that momax, guess few hours gone hahaha...

i know that the Epix has got 1800mAh capacity, i wonder if it can be retrofitted into i780 hahaha since they are closely related... i know that both is outputing 3.7V.. but the physical dimension, i'm not sure if it's the same though...

lolx hahaha... i think it would be either 1140mAh or 1480mAh only coz both the info are from Samsung site, so maybe they do have 2 version of battery capacity, one for EU and one for ASPAC region...

Added on December 11, 2009, 10:15 amyup, i use my phone heavily especially the push/pull e-mail function which i've set to grab automatically every 1 hour for 3 e-mail accounts using DiGi 3G... if i do this, then battery won't last for 1 day, approx. 3/4 day only... then it's flat dead...

i'm now wondering if this battery for Epix 1800mAh will fit nicely into i780 or not... http://www.batteries4less.com/samsung/blac...ery.html#compat

now, i'm forced to turn off the auto sync and perform the manual sync over a long period of time to save battery juice... in this case, the battery can last longer like 1 1/2 days or even 2 days sometimes... but then i like the mails to be sync automatically rather than me having to go in and sync manually... i guess the 3G/HSDPA is the culprit as it drains too much battery each time it got activated...

I've done some testing and noticed that whenever the Cellular Data Connection (3G with HSDPA) is turned on, it will suck the battery flat pretty quickly...the problem is that once you've activated the Cellular Data Connection to browse or sync e-mails, it would not turn off itself on idle mode...it will just keep connected and that's where and when the battery will suffer most...

now each time after I'm down with the surfing and e-mails account sync, I've to manually turn off the Cellular Data Connection so that the battery stays longer and it works...something to share and I'm still looking to find if any tweaks that can deactivate the Data Connection once it's idle for a certain amount of time...

hi gu~wak_zhai...

which version of Windows Mobile can run the PointUI? WM 6.1 or WM 6.5.x? and 128Dpi or 96Dpi?

Thanks.

i see... i tried to get it work on the WM6.5 ROM and it did work, but with a visible blank space on the right side of the screen... guess could have been caused by the 96 DPI which i've choose to install... i cannot stand the super big buttons and fonts of the 128 DPI of WM6.5 on the small screen of i780, it just doesn't look pretty hahaha...

The soft ringtone on i780 is a known fact and there is actually something you can do with a little tweak within the device itself... go to this xda forum : i780 ringtone tweak and explore what can be done... but then tweak it at your own risk... i've done it before and it works...

as for the upgrade, your version should not have problem upgrading... i suspect you've a typo error maybe... type in DXHL2 and it should work...
all battery for i780 in Malaysia are 1000mAh as i've confirmed it with Samsung Malaysia, so too bad for us though...

hi wayfeel,

personally, i think you should upgrade to WM6.1 via the Samsung official upgrade site which you already visited and the last official ROM released by Samsung for this model is DXIB1... so far as i recall the last time i used this ROM, it was very stable indeed...

i'm now using a custom build ROM built by xda forumer ironeagle which is running on WM6.5.5 based on the core of DXIB1... it's rock solid stable to far...

on the speaker of i780, so far i have no issue with it and as always with all electronic stuff... don't push it to it's limit hahaha... leave some space for it to breath just my 2cents though..

i've tried to scout for the 1480mAh battery here in MY before but no luck in getting one... on ebay? erm... a little skeptic about it... but then there is a well known 3rd party battery which churn out 3000mAh from Mugen but at the expense of thicker cover which looks superbly ugly to me, but if you need the hardcore juice, then that's the one you should be goin to...

anyway, welcome to i780 world...

since DXHL2 is already WM6.1, then not much you can expect from DXIB1 as there aren't any major upgrade between the 2 ROM Build... and if all your stuff works fine on DXHL2, for example like the GPS sat nav get lock on pretty quick, then you need not to upgd to DXIB1 though... but then if you have some issue with your current ROM Build, like the issue i've just mentioned... then it's worth the upgd to DXIB1...

ironeagle custom ROM is actually his initiative to port the WM6.5.x series onto i780 which Samsung seems to have abandon for our model... so he uses the core build of DXIB1 and combined it with the latest leaked ROM of the WM6.5.x... if you like to play around with ROM flashing/upgrade process, then you may want to try out the new WM6.5.x ROM as it have a great visual UI experience over the WM6.1... and as always, this kind of ROM flashing may brick you unit or void your warranty... your choice once you get used to it on flashing your i780 unit, reflashing it to newer Build ROMs are like eating chinese cabbage (chinese idioms) hahaha...

so far, i've flash my unit xxx number of times and touch wood it's still working perfectly personally, i do feel WM6.5.x build is much more better than the WM6.1...

mind to clarify more on what message popup notification you're referring to? the SMS sent/delivery notification?

i think you cannot disable that one if not mistaken... but i think if you leave the pop up msg for a while it will be gone rite?
