Should I remove my (scratched) screen protector? I'm not sure how the screen would stand up to scratches...

Also is the surface of the screen plastic or glass? When pressed hard enough the screen ripples, but when it is knocked it sounds solid like glass (unlike LG O1). The screen protector does give a plasticky feel but the screen feels kinda cool after being left in the cold???

    Philip, 25 Oct 2011I read somewhere tjat the gingerbread upgrade increases the... moreIt does increase ram to a small extent (depending on your rom you get 279~280mb versus 278mb in Froyo), however the major improvement would be the performance - my gio on gingerbread feels so much faster then my friends' (2) galaxy aces...even tho my phone is fully loaded with stuff :)

      Should I go for samsung galaxy gio? I've read very very bad comments regarding galaxy gio. Is it really a waste of money, as most people say? Is its battery really draining to 0% with or without use within 1 day? Is it actually turning off automatically? Plz help me with your genuine, honest and helpful reply.

            vinfilip, 19 Nov 2011guys what about gps? Do you have any problems?? The problem that I face is that even with A-GPS it takes just a bit more time than usual to get locked (can anyone offer any solution?). But once locked, I have seen it working flawlessly. I have used it many times in voice guided navigation and it has never failed.

              fikrie, 19 Nov 2011should i buy gio or galaxi mini? im so confused with those ... moreIt depends upon your choice and budget. Mini has less features than Gio so it costs less.

              This comparison may be helpful.

                        I bought this phone a couple of weeks back,because i wanted ti use android phone,but it turned out to be a nightmare,while using the internet the phone hangs,it shuts down automatically,also the battery is the worst as compared to any other phone,so i sold it and bought wave2,which is 100 times better than this crap,the battery life is good,has crystal clear LCD,and awesome camera,but the best part is the look of that phone,which is amazing,i love it.

                            Worst phone I ever chose -
                            1) Touch screen to sensitive
                            2) Phone is to complicated
                            3) Netweork provider does not inform you off aplications running in the background - hence Air time been taken without you knowing
                            4)you are limited to your ring tones - cannot personalize it to the caller

                                    well, one more question, i heard before upgrading that ginger bread uses less amount of ram than froyo but in my case that is totally reversed :|
                                    i was using around 160-170 mb in froyo and with the same apps ginger bread is using 200-210 mb of ram :/ what is that ?

                                        Salam. friends thanks for your responses, whatever the reason would be,but Samsung must provide flash player support with gingerbread update, because it is the major update in gingerbread, if there is no flash player support, what is then big benefit for updating to gingerbread? it just brings some display benefits.
                                        To Ali- Try re store factory settings Ali, may be it fix your problems inshaAllah. but before re store factory settings must back up your data,specially contacts and calendar etc. the data in sd card isn't deleted in restoring factory settings. Best of luck:-)
