Has anyone bought screen protectors? If so, which should I go for/avoid?

Also, which are the best flip leather cases?

Search the thread for "screen protector" and "leather case".

Samsung seem to be keen to shrug off the old lack of support demon, think this phone is amazing value for money

Ok updated properly this time, was the cable, but now I get a "the process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly. please try again".... great..

Anyone else having this issue?? Can anyone help?? Should I reset the phone to factory defaults after doing a firmware upgrade?

Is this option not under SMS settings?

Nope, only have a choice of pre-installed ones.

Seems odd that you can change absolutely everything else about this phone..except the SMS tones..something I could do on 5 year old handsets.

You sure? I downloaded a Portal 2 soundboard, and one of the options in the app is to set one of the sounds as your notification sound. Which I did.

Had a missed call from 150 this afternoon, got all excited thinking that perhaps they had got it in stock. Phoned up but couldn't get through to the guy I'd been dealing with, but got another, who said tmobile won't have it for another fortnight now! Will phone again tomorrow as it seems strange for me to have a missed call for no reason.

GAH

any reason you have to buy directly through t-mobile?

Hopefully this firmware update will improve the battery, charged it yesterday and 19 hours later it's at 3% with hardly any usage

Definitely need to look into this, any light use and I'm looking at it lasting half a day at most.

set brightness to auto, trun off all those cruddy widgets that come with it, turn off wifi and gps

I assume applying any of these updates with either kies or odin you would lose root?

i think so, but easy to apply again if so.

Yep, tho I am talking about going into phone settings/ sounds. sms etc..their no option to select an MP3 or anything ive loaded to the phone.

the Portal 2 soundboard must have sommin built within the app to allow acess.

lol..might use the final song as a ringtone just thinking.

i prefer stuff like that just to keep it safe in the pocket, have cases on a phone defeats what samsung have tried to do in making it thin and sleek, i know it protects you, but when in use of showing someone i like it how it is,

This shouldnt make any difference at all, infact as I understand it the Wifi radio uses less than the normal one so should save battery? As for GPS it isn't used at all unless a application requests the use of it so that won't use any battery either unless you are actually using apps that need GPS in which case you'd have it on anyway.
