Wah i want to work in your company

My company does not have such policy that sponsors employee's mobile phone

Hi..

I am using my i780 for 2 month already..
I love it because of its GPS built in..even I dont know the roads in KL but I can go everywhere without lost my way in KL..hehe

but I am having a problem with my samsung i780, sometimes there is a pop-up window asking me "do you want permanently delete your stoage card to make your message readable?". this is happen during my battery is low. is anyone have an idea this problem? I went to PDA exert, they said the softwares are corrupted, so they formatted and install me the new one.

for the firs time I was facing this problem, I think because of my battery was low..statement " notification charge your battery to avoid loss any data" is it one of the reason for the software was corrupted?

i guess for gps you can just go to any pda store and get them install it for you for a small fee.

Unless you are an advanced user, go ahead and find garmin xt on the net - or better more, purchase it!

i tot when you buy it came bundled with mapking already? correct me if i'm wrong - my bro bought and he said got mapking installed already

To Masculine,

yeah..neato4u is true..u can go to any pda store and ask for them to install for you..i prefer u go to PDA Expert shop at Low yatt, the booth is in front of Digi Handphone Booth at 1st level..they will show you their catalog..

GPS can be used by diff software application-mapking / garmin- and I prefer to use garmin bcoz I think it is more friendly for user..easy to use.

when they install GPS software for u(mapking/garmin) u need to ask them to install together the map. u can choose what map location u wanted.(they will ask u what map u want before u ask them..he=P) normally they will install Malaysia map, and hong kong. but if u are willing to go to others country, England or Singapore for example, u can ask them to put England's road map.easy!! dont need to install every map in the world bcoz it will waste your memory card.

What I do was created fake access point at the connection setting. And put it as my default access point.

Go to Start>Setting>Connections>Connections>Advanced>Select Networks

Create new access point

ISP Name : anything, press OK. Kept this as your default AP. But whenever you want to use the original access point. Change back to the original.

p/s: this only to prevent phone keeping try to connect to internet by give fake AP.

Then it's better to wait until FMG receive WM6.1 update from Samsung. Rumored to be in after August

Glad to have found this thread.

I need to know what is the best price & from where I can get this phone? At The Curve - rm 1899 with many softwares incl GPS/Maps. At LYP, one shop said 1799 but without any extra software.

Plz help.  Thanks.

Hi all bros, finally I am one of the family member of sammy i780. I just bought it yesterday. RM1799 with 12 months 0% installment come with 4gb memory card, and 2 batteries. Additional RM125 for Samsung wep210 Bluetooth handfree, 1 rubber pouch and 1 leather pouch. Software can be update anytime i go back to the shop.

This is a great phone, very easy to use when for typing but need some time to practice. Overall I would say it is a good buy.

I will post the pic later on. Coz i am still busy testing the phone 

I do believe during PC Fair the price is alot cheaper. Previous PC Fair the price was RM1699 with standard accessories. ANyway, welcomm to the i780 group. Try install NavNGo iGO8 GPS navigator. It's way better than Garmin/MapKing.

Sorry for asking noobie question. May i know how to activate my GPS? When i launch my mapking the software cannot detect GPS signal? Is this the setting problem or my phone got problem ?

u need to launch PortSplitter/GPSGate first and set Com8 and Com6 port in it. i dislike MapKing due to the hassle to use PortSplitter. try google to see the setting of Mapking for i780. but if u can get urself NavNGo iGO8, i'm sure u will dump MapKing.

hey all,
there is a new firmware released, i780DXHG1... i juz got it from SUMMIT FMG today... after the new firmware, the phone feel much more responsive, not sure if it's only me ;p

yup, i780DXHG1 is the latest ROM by FMG... W6.1 ROM is still not out yet for our model...

just go to the Maxis Customer Service Centre to do the setting.
