arre abt that widget..
u cant put a 1*4 widget like the power control widget on the top most row (like the google search widget)

so instead of 3 1*4 widgets we can put only 2 of em..

try it out its a bug..

for example..
try putting the calender widget and Fb widget on the same homescreen..
it wont work tho technically it shuld be possible..

Actually my love for smart phones started with Nokia 6600
I was like when I first saw it with my uncle and immediately got one for myself. It now looks prehistoric though
still got it running perfectly, I was even checking for firmware upgrades till last year

I tried clearing market cache, even then my search history remains, donno what could be done to remove market search history.

Never faced that music app force closing problem. Actually I don't use the music app much, I still prefer iPod touch for music

the market,youtube and google search history must consume some memory..
there must be some way to delete it..

i wiill post if i find one..


idk but the music apps has some issues during cover flow..
mayb its bcz i have around 1100 songs..

read the review..
well written as usual..
but i was shocked to knw that i5700 doesnt have proximity sensor or light sensor..

the rest of the problems will gradually be solved IMO..
mayb in FroYo (2.5 supposedly) we will have all those issues solved..

hope samsung gives us a 2.5 update tho..

Chalega ! But for me its beer ! The great way to beat Mumbai's heat and humidity.

dk but the music apps has some issues during cover flow..

If you have changed the ROM without clearing cache and ext partition. Some will applications force close. Don't know about you. BTW you can use Dolphin as an alternate music/video application.

 

[sachitgul]

Sure dude! Where do you stay?

wen we download and install apps from the sdcard do they install on the sdcard or on the internal memory..??


if they do install on the internal memory then google shuld really consider App2SD seriously for the next firmware upgrade...


damn in such situations the 8gb memory of the i7500 really is a godsend for it's users..

Hey! i got the phone exactly a week ago! and i love it!

but i have a problem like many others ! have you guys managed to fix it ?

i tried the NPS 1.3 ( in compatability mode ) - didnt detect the phone .

i tried NPS 1.4 in compatiability mode and this time it detects the phone , but says i can only update and if i try that - well i cant update either ! ( it either says failed to connect to server or device update not supported )

i tried Kies (1.5) and again it takes a long time to search for the phone and doesnt detect it !

now how do i update it ? and how do i sync to PC ?

PLEASE PEOPLE I REALLY NEED HELP !! much appreciated !
