MarketTantrik Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 All SGS users, follow the instructions here to recalibrate your phone's battery meter after repeated flashing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theneurotoxin Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 Right now I am running rooted JM2 and Paul's lag fixes on top of that.Really smooth. No microsd reader to apply mimocan's fix I have somewhat made up my mind buying the SGS.... but is it necessary to root it...won't it void the warranty ?....that too it being brand new .. Rooting will give you an enhanced experience. Don't worry about the warranty.Sammy needn't know that you've rooted your phone.Someone over at XDA has backed up the stock Indian firmware. All SGS users, follow the instructions here to recalibrate your phone's battery meter after repeated flashing Cool,will do this right away. I've been having some trouble changing wallpapers.Even when I use images of the display's resolution,for some strange reason the phone asks me to crop the image.

Snake Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 @snake stay away from the wildfire and why did your spica plans go down the drain Is the wildfire really that bad?? Also Spica got discontinued and stuff!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madhav Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 Also Spica got discontinued and stuff!!! It is discontinued. But, Samsung are selling the un-sold pieces... And, there would be alot of them!! Trust me.... Its a brilliant phone for the price hands down!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 now im confused again!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madhav Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 oh ok See, first yu need to figure out an uber-cool wallpaper, then comes the part to find an icon-pack which can compliment that wallpaper... Once yu know the icon-pack, pinpointing perfectly suitable icons & the task of resizing them to fit perfectly! When yu are through with all this, the task of finding suitable widgets (mainly the clock and a couple of more for yur side-screens)... So, making a perfect Home-screen is indeed, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madhav Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 now im confused again!!! What's yur budget? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supersim Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 Is the wildfire really that bad?? Also Spica got discontinued and stuff!!! sad news on the spica front I went through the review of the wildfire , there were 2 shortcomings the screen and the processor. Else it would have been a great phone. Has the pricing been anounced yet ? It will be value for money if it has a decent pricing here. PS - they are calling it the mini desire Here s the review Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theneurotoxin Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 (edited) That fix did not change my battery stats. EDIT: I'll have to change the path now that the data is on the NAND Swift Key and HTC IME keyoboard apps are force closing on JM2.Anyone else facing similar issues?

Madhav Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 Will give it a try when I have some time on my hands Yu will surely be needing that! Though if yu need my exact homescreen, then i could prolly mail yu these icons and all!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Javs Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 sad news on the spica front I went through the review of the wildfire , there were 2 shortcomings the screen and the processor. Else it would have been a great phone. Has the pricing been anounced yet ? It will be value for money if it has a decent pricing here. PS - they are calling it the mini desire Here s the review u know thats a good thing for some casual people who are looking at a middle level budget phone, its rightly a mini desire at the expense of the processor and screen which for some people might not be that big an issue. i'm planning to get the wildfire for my wife as someone here recommeded it and i think its a good phone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, females around my phone go all chaotic... And, a tag-line that i get to hear from them every f**ckin' time is, "That's why i use Nokia!"... WTF?!!
