^ Surprised!

Surprised yeah.
But I was trying to say in my previous post that even my Android is able to pin point me on the map, without GPRS!
Dissapointed Nokia fan boyz?

^but when I try to open google maps on my ICS without GPRS then it says "this apps need network connection" & forces me to exit

I believe you need to change some settings from A-GPS to GPS.. A-GPS uses internet connection to locate faster.. where GPS will take minutes to lockdown..

Zangetsu: Get Sygic Mobile Maps (India). I use it. No Internet Access Required.
Its very costly but you can download the 'ahem' version.

For offline google maps:
1.Open the app
2.Go to settings
3.Go to labs
4.Tick precache map area(how to use this is given in its decription)

Then when you are on a wifi or have net connection download the content.
I think it loads an area of 10 sq miles from the center of the place you selected.

You should be able to able to use maps offline then.But don't know if gps will work then to track you on that offline map.

Also you can pre-catch the maps for offline use. Check settings/Labs section in GMaps.

pre-catch? I think you meant pre-cache.


Sygic Mobile Maps - was referring to this. One awesome app.

Is there any way to disable Whatsapp notification in the notification bar? Or any other way for hiding/faking the sender name and the message content in the notification bar?

Play around with the settings of whats app. You will find a setting to turn off notifications.
But stopping notifications on status bar? I think it's difficult.

A quick glance to the XDA forum.. (Xperia S Android Development - xda-developers) is not showing any signs for ICS on this phone.

But there's a planned upgrade in the pipeline. So all the best for your patience.

hey pls share performance on LWW after ICS Update.. and is it offical update or you are installing any custom rom..

 

[bubusam13]

Phone has become slow though I got necessary features like grouping of contacts in phonebook and preventing apps from running in background, thus saving ram.

Few days ago I was searching ways how to group contacts like in nokia phones, now I got that feature by default.

Its official update. I am sure there are some apps running in background that are making it slow. Actually I updated it just now at office since internet is very fast here.

As per LWW is concerned, I think it will be a good performer because of the small screen size.

 

[clmlbx]

^^ well hope it works well with ICS, well I will not be updating for next 10 Days at least.. will see user views before upgrading LWW to ICS .. well share your experience after couple of days.. and after using some apps and games..

 

[prudhivisekhar]
