should i root my phone ?

No you don't need to. Rooting is for adding additional function. Most user won't find it useful.

is there any apps that is essential and it is a must to install them ?

Yes there's a lot. For me, gReader, App organizor, TaskManager, Handsent, OfficeSuite... and many more.

i heard the smartphone itself cannot play some sort of video in some sort of formats. no flash too. any substitutes for these ?

For video, I would give up already. There's too many format on the Internet. Samsung phone can do a auto-conversion when you copy, that's why. But first ask yourself, do you really love to watch movie on a 3.5 inch phone screen? About flash, can support in if you intall certain app, but also not very useful personally.

can we use our own music/songs for ringtones ?

of course. it's a "smart" phone man!

can we use our own wallpaper instead of those pre-installed ?

Definitely.

how come samsung galaxy ace, i want set my pics as wallpaper/screen saver, but cannot set full screen ? must crop out part of it ?why must crop part of it out ? i dont want that. i want full pic. how ?

I think you can, as long as you keep the hight and width ratio. If you are using G ACE, the resolution and the CPU(which is 600M overclocked to 800MHz) is not so nice for watching HD video.

I hope you did not use samsung kies to do file tranfers, its pointless, and dumb. Just set as mass storage mode from settings, plug in, and use it like your thumbdrive.

samsung kies ? i think need to install, since i am given 2 pieces of CDs.

oh well, just now my batt went dead without i knowing it until i restart my phone.

is it because i went to clear memory at RAM management section, hence i cannot see the bar move on my batt indicator ?

ditzy SG

Yes, possible, don't need to install kies if you don't want to, I installed kies just to use the drivers, but I never touch kies.

hi ditzy. it seem that my video file is too big. i tried to play a 37.7mb video on QQPlayer, very laggy. but play a 5mb video on QQPlayer, no problem at all. the video are dl via realplayer fr youtube. so hmm, any idea what can i do to reduce the sizes of video that are big in size, or maybe any other dl tool i can use? thanks

ditzy SG

Har? What video format are those? They are so tiny, they must be flv files or something. I could load the 3.79gb HD version of avatar into my phone and it plays just fine using the default player.

I dunno any good players for flv format. The last time I played flv file on my phone was thru an app, and it came out so laggy, I said fark that shit.

oleoleole SG

well still having laggy problem. i have been advised that it could be due to background apps (hence, need to kill them), or probably do a factory reset. your opinion ditzy?

Its the flv video file. If your phone cannot even take that kind of load, I suggest you throw it away and buy and iphone.

it seems that if my video fps is over 15fps, it lags. so for now, i managed to reduce my video fps to 15fps and below, no more lags, though video quality dropped a little.

for now i chosen flv. 15fps, 640 x 480. good enough i suppose ?

ditzy SG

I dunno, I never touch flv format because its sooooooooo low quality, I might as well not watch. If you like it, you use it. Even a cheap nokia could play higher quality video files.

i recently got that app2sd app , and move part of those apps to the sd card , and the browser i think works faster now .

Before not so fast ... esp there is an increase in those apps .

i am a new tab user . Still learning how to make full use of it .

Poolman SG

i also realized my tab cannot play all type of videos .

It's the format i think .

ditzy SG

So far the galaxy s series can play all popular video formats, without the need for conversion, including rmvb, and mkv files with subs, except FLV format. Even your most powerful PC in the world would require the flv codec just to play flv videos.

As for lag problems, samsung had already addressed those issues with their 2.2.1 froyo update, and made it even better in 2.3.3. If you guys still find it laggy, I recommend you take a daily dose of "patience".

1) I dunno why, check your APN settings, maybe you selected forward as mms.

2) I dunno why, I don't use yahoo stuff on a google powered phone.
