mkm, 27 Jan 2011I apologize for the question but how did you "flash&qu... moreregiter on Samfirmware.com almost all of the official & leaked firmwares from Samsung are uploaded on that site. there is even a tutorial on how to flash a ROM using Odin.

KIES is slow. use Odin to install your firmwares. flash at your own risk. I almost bricked my phone while flashing a firmware.

    Hi, everyone. I am Derrick from Malaysia and I am a new user for Samsung Galaxy S. My phone is updated to Android 2.2 already. However, I have a serious question. My alarm will never ring if I turn off my phone but it will ring if I never turn it off. Is this situation normal?

                      upgraded my firmware to 2.2.1 via Odin. I got tired of waiting for Samsung to release the 2.2.1 update in the region so I decided to flash the 2.2.1 Europian firmware into my phone. my SGS is now super fast! no need to install a lagfix.

                                  Yes u can get widgets to view your missed calls nd new mails nd messages nd other stuffs in galaxy S though not necessarily u need widget for this cuz u can just slide the notification bar from above to show all ur alerts,missed calls...etc etc

                                  OK now if u want to upgrade now get the iPhone4 its the best now available cuz after 1 month galaxy S will be obsolete since galaxy S 2 is coming nd apple will keep updating the iPhone 4 regularly for a long time unlike galaxy S which still i am not sure whether 2.3 will be coming or not...nd if it comes then that will be last major update for galaxy s nd the same goes for HTC desire cuz HTC has already confirmed that 2.3 will not be coming to DESIRE..

                                  hope that helps to finalize ur decision..

                                      Anyway, at the end of the day, Apple admits that having third party, bluetoothable, widgets, ringtones...I name it, is useful?? Is that what you saying?

                                        Amir, 26 Jan 2011Hello Amit...i m frm uk and u?...tell me what is that Jailb... morejailbreak is like heaven maan.
                                        now what is jailbreak?
                                        jailbreak is like hacking iPhone(any iPhone or iPod touch).First jailbreak was illegal but after many petitions it was made legal by apple..so thats great!!

                                        what jailbreak will do to ur iPhone?
                                        after u jailbreak ur iPhone you will see a icon in your iPhone called cydia..nd that the home of millions of third party apps including addons,HD themes,video wallpapers,widgets,hacked apps,hacked games.gives hotspot ability to ur iphone,u can use bluetooth with other devices....you name it..
                                        so that makes the iPhone the most customizable device available even android can't even close to iPhone after jailbreaking nd i am saying this cuz i have rooted my galaxy S hoping to be something like jailbreaking but seriously rooting has done nothing to my galaxy s.

                                        Is jailbreaking worth?
                                        10000000000000000000000% worth it....even these days whoever gets iPhone they jailbreak it immediately to get all the goodies..

                                        is it risky or do damage to your device?
                                        hell no! even a 7 year kid can do jailbreaking AND if anything goes wrong(which rarely goes) just restore iPhone from itunes nd try again.And yeah u can update your iPhone BUT u will loose the jailbreak but u can backup all ur jailbroken stuffs nd can jailbreak the the iOS version u have updated to.

                                        well u have heard that PS3 have been jailbroken by GEOHOT nd that's the guy who first jailbroked iPhone..

                                        so at the end of the day a jailbroken iPhone is 1000 times greater than an android phone(even ROOTED) cuz it gives full control of ur iphone

                                        hope that helps you..
