QUOTE(L7Awesome @ Sep 8 2009, 04:31 PM) Hi I acutally got it for RM999. However, I only got one Battery as they said for the 2nd batt to be included, the deal is RM1199. So I might just get one extra battery later. yea i actually bought 2 from him for rm9 and 1 for rm6 include postage..Thanks for the Screen protector guy info. I acutally got a screen protector from Summit for RM10 but he is selling for RM3 or RM4... very cheap. Where did you get the Golla Pouch? I have been looking hi and low for one. as for the golla pouch... go check out tis thread... selling for rm10... quite cheap oso.. This post has been edited by gu~wak_zhai: Sep 12 2009, 02:11 AM |

QUOTE(atten @ Nov 9 2009, 09:30 AM) but ... how to use garmin gps on i780? u muz be outside wif clear sky in order to lock ur gps to the satellite...i tried b4, but system said hv to wait (searching)? & after 2mins still nothing. & do i need to fill up the address number for every location? can i just search for the building or road name? for cold start it might need up to 5 mins to lock... try again it shldn't be any problem... or if u wan faster u can turn on the enhanced gps on the windows setting there.. but it will cost u wif the gprs charges.. mostly i search by the street name or the building name.. of course not every building name or POI available on the map.. do google up the street name it helps alot.. |

QUOTE(dgtel2 @ Nov 15 2009, 06:09 PM) Why bother the old firmware(s). The latest PDXIB1 is stable than the rest. And I even fed-up with WM6.5 320x320 screen issue. couldn't agree more... jz go to the samsung official website to download the latest version.. we talked about it few pages earlier.. the link is there.. |

QUOTE(stanley.m @ Nov 20 2009, 02:46 AM) I tried the latest firmware, the PDXIB1 from the samsung updater thingy, but the phone was a bit warm....is that normal?! well it depends on ur usage actually.. when i use wifi/gps or talk on phone for a long time.. it tends to get hot... i think its normal since it doesn't cause it to crash or anything.. |

QUOTE(atten @ Nov 20 2009, 07:04 PM) is it normal that i780 got 'delay' ringtone?? at first i kinda dislike the ascending ringtone.. wat i do is i edit my ringtone n make the beginning (around 3 sec) louder.. but i change ringtone quite frequently so lazy to edit everytime.. might as well as get used to it... i just tried to call my no. & my phone start ringing on the 3rd tone. btw ........ i set for normal ring, but my phone will start with slow sound (like ascending)? why? |
