    The Samsung Galaxy Spica i.e. I5700 thread

    Hi guys, I have a question about Launcher Pro. I have installed version 0.8.1.0 but I don't see any way to change settings for it. It doesn't even come in the screen where all applications are shown. Any help? thanks

    Samsung Galaxy Beam

    With your phone. There is no TV. Say, you are travelling and not carrying the TV with you ;) There is no war. But I have been rooting for portable projectors for almost 3 years now - when they were quite unheard of. I had even mentioned projector phones in this post -...

    The Samsung Galaxy Spica i.e. I5700 thread

    I had earlier wanted to test the voice clarity of my (well my friend's, but that is another story) Spica. Your post made me do it urgently. I compared it with my trusty N73. Results: 1. When Spica is not on loudspeaker, voice on the other side is indistinguishable from that of N73 (also not on...

    Samsung Galaxy Beam

    How do you show a video/picture to 25 people with your phone? Though the phone projector technology is far from perfect - big phones, battery hog, low resolution etc. But 15 years ago somebody could have said the same about video - why would I need a video player in my phone? We have TV, video...

    Weird Android GPRS Woes

    For me, DOCOMO sucks too. No doubt it is cheap. But speeds are horrible. I can drive 8 km to my destination before Google maps loads. It also keeps getting disconnected, 3-4 times per hour. With Android (Spica), the solution for disconnection problem is to put it on flight mode for a while and...

    Ear irritating while talking!!

    Which of the following points you don't understand: 1. Different phones have different materials on their surface. 2. Different people have allergies to different materials. Though you didn't confirm whether it is in-ear irritation / skin around the ear irritation.

    PLease help me choose a phone under Rs.18000.

    Re: PLease help me choose a phone under Rs.18000. Presently looking at the Samsung Wa I would say that has been Nokia's mistake. They have shipped with slow processors, low phone flash memory, and low RAM even for high-end phones. Phone flash memory has special significance in Symbian OS. Now...

    Ear irritating while talking!!

    Sorry, that was a wild guess :) Some materials are irritating for some people. I guess the irritation is on the skin of the ear, and not inside the ear? If so, a dermatologist is the guy to catch rather than the ENT doctor. Though the ENT doctor would know much more about it than us armchair...

    Nokia 6303 - Annoying low speaker volume.

    Buy a large, cheap (thin material), steel tea-pan. Put it inverted. Now put the phone on the tea-pan. Vibrator of the phone should be active. Now call your dad's phone.

    Rumored details for Android 3.0 aka Gingerbread

    Agreed. It is called progress. But there were great differences between 1.0 and 1.5 too. Though at 1.0 time, Android devices were not so popular. Maybe completely missing from Indian scene.

    The Samsung Galaxy Spica i.e. I5700 thread

    Anyway, geeks don't care much about these things (e.g. version number written in some file only for documentation). For a marketing guy, first thing he will notice that version number should be changed to the one he is marketing. A geek would look at the features he has promised in the new...

    Nokia: The fightback starts now

    Very true. But I can see Nokia's point also - momentum will support them for some time. I know many people who are easily capable of getting familiar with a new kind of phone within hours. But when they have to get a smarphone, they don't even look outside of Nokia models. Because when they got...

    Suggest me some GPRS plans

    Which plan? The Rs 99 Mobile Office? Location is Noida? This is almost 12-15 kilobytes per second which I never got in Bangalore Airtel Mobile Office. You were lucky.

    Suggest me some GPRS plans

    What is the speed of Vodafone Mobile Connect? I tried airtel mobile office, docomo : all give an average of 3-4 kilobytes per second speed. At this speed, if you leave the download on for 24 hours for 30 days - it would not reach even 10 GB. Since it is so slow, you won't be able to browse with...

    Samsung Galaxy Spica : Android 2.2 Froyo Petition....

    Can't be sure. By that time, there will be another "flagship" phone. With dual core processor, better graphics chip, higher resolution screen, strong camera flash, compact projector (Video: Samsung Show W7900 Projector-Packing Cellphone Actually Looks Pretty Cool) etc.). Samsung is not like...

    Samsung Galaxy Spica : Android 2.2 Froyo Petition....

    Yeah this is sad. But look at the bright side. At least Samsung is not doing firmware checksum to prevent users from installing alternate ROMs. Like Motorola did with some of its Android phones. Alternate ROM ecosystem is doing reasonably well in Samsung phones.

    From where to Download Windows 7 Home Premium ISO?

    Most computer vendors give only a recovery DVD creation tool and not a plain OS. This preserves the craplets (Urban Dictionary: craplet) they shipped with the OS which increase their profit margin. What are the craplets Dell is shipping with these days?

    elderly friendly mobile phones

    Thanks guys. Websites like gsmarena don't even review such phones so that I could compare their loudspeaker/battery life etc. with other phones. There are not many youtube reviews of such phones too. Any idea about loudspeaker & battery life of these phones? 5030 has a cover for charger, will...
