So have to make sure that the hardware works before paying up. The software however can be fixed. Just a matter of time of learning the software tricks. I believe software/firmware related issues are easier to manage because you'll get it fixed sooner or later.

Grazy is right because the risks involved aren't higher than buying an iPhone from other than Maxis. Some iPhone 2G users ran into capacitive touchscreen problems (portions of screen dead) and they had nowhere to turn to. Problem is that you can't get people to fix it even if you want to pay for it. Lucky, we got Singapore just next door. Can pay a trip down to get it fixed. Or we can just call it a day and another excuse for something new.  tongue.gif

Hello there, it's me again. Haven't survey Low Yat yet as I have a busy working schedule. Anyhoo, my interest on Android grows day by day. Speaking of Google Maps on Dream....is it the same as, ya know...Google Maps? Does it offer topography map like Google Earth? Can somebody post screenshots of Dream on GPS?

Added on March 31, 2009, 8:44 amOh, btw Grazy, how did u amp up the battery juice?

Yes, the G1 google maps does have the satellite mode ^^; But the maps would not be cached on G1, meaning the maps need to be downloaded everytime you need to use them, so data plan or WIFI is must! However there is an apps called Bigplanet. It can download and cache the maps so you may view them later.

Oh, he..he... I have 3 units of 2400mAh (1 using, 2 standby) to amp up my Droid, so it never never worries about low batt ^^;
3G and GPS (Latitude) always on, even I'm sleeping ^^


*Shoot!! Some of the tethering apps being removed from the Market!! Bad move sad.gif

Why hard reset?

Anyway my G1 has been running for 2 weeks + and still going strong! Occasionally it'll hang and force close itself and then it'll magically restore itself along with its previous state. rclxms.gif rclxms.gif rclxms.gif

Usually less than 15 mins lah! Sometime if cloudy, it will take longer to logon those satelittes ^^

I have family plus package discount! But Siaocom got rebate on data plan if you are screamyx user plus it has better coverage. Really tempted to move over, but wifey don't want sad.gif


Guys, in case you missed the "No Signal Alert", try it out in the Market. ^^; It helps to detect lost signal.

EDGE is quite good based on my experience, but I never tried 3G so dunno how slow it is compared to 3G. Do remember that EDGE is only available in Klang Valley; outside that will run in GPRS. Surprisingly, it was faster than the stupid streamyx at times and i had no problems to stream youtube videos wen I was in Melaka which is outside of EDGE coverage. icon_rolleyes.gif

Added on April 2, 2009, 12:12 pmthanks grazy for the DXTop program. I have been using it ever since and its really nice;now I can organize my programs to find them easily. thumbup.gif

Anyway,Let us know how is cupcake once u have tried it.Been busy with exams n stuffs n I c got lot of discussions that i missed here,hahaha. cry.gif
