All android devices have a dedicated notification bar where u can see any new messages or missed calls or new chats(gmail or facebook)or status of skype like app or bluetooth transfer status or any upload or download status or etc. etc.

Well the thing is u can choose not to get that notification! otherwise the phone ll always keep u notified!

U can be always connected to any social network that is known yet(if u don't bother about the battery's performance!!!).

Kudos.

I got mine a while ago and I've regretted it ever since. Battery dies every day without fail, the touchscreen is non-responsive and it has a habit of unlocking itself and phoning people in your address book. Avoid it. Save yourself the hassle.

                          Hi all,

                          I recently updated my phone to Froyo DXJP8 which is available in samfirmware.com for my I5503.

                          I notice that my compass is not pointing the exact north even after calibrating from an open space!

                          Can anyone tell me how to fix this issue???

                          Thanks in advance.

                          PS: I m sure that there is no problem in my hardware because it works fine in Eclair DXJG5 version.

                            if you update to 2.2 (froyo) you lose compass functionality.

                                Hi all,

                                I have updated my phone to android 2.2 from samfirmware.com (Baseband Version I5500BVJJP7).

                                But i found few glitches like compass not working properly. And I couldn't receive APN settings from the service provider.

                                So i thought of switching to the samsung's version of FROYO.

                                But in KIES, the option for firmware upgrade is disabled.

                                Can someone help me out in switching SAMSUNG's version of FROYO???

                                Thanks in advance.
