If everything we have to do like this then whats the point of a smart phone:thinking:

That is a question a lot of people ask. :) The answer is 'switching off' some features should not be mixed up with 'not using those features'. One switches off these features to increase battery life but switches them on ONLY when they are required.

This seems to prove it http://tech2.in.com/news/apps/free-mobile-apps-users-watch-your-battery/291532

I wrote to Samsung thru their website yesterday about the problems I have mentioned above this is the answer I got
Thank you for becoming a patron of Samsung product.

We apologize for having such inconvenience with our product.

We request you to visit the nearest Authorized Service Center of Samsung for the mentioned problem of the handset. Since we are unable to trace the ASC near to your place.


For further assistance you may contact SAMSUNG Customer Contact Center at 3030 8282 or 1-800-11-0011 (toll free)

Thanking and assuring you for best services always.

This is in spite to giving all the details about my self (never mind the problems with my phone) they cant seem to get the details of the nearest service center to me. :(:eek: Why am I surprised as their service locator for Mumbai still shows service centers which have closed down 3-4 years ago. Looks like I have to reduce the Samsung product count in my house from the current number. I always had a good experience with their service for other products till now.

Hi all, i have upgraded my galaxy ace to android 2.3.6 using odin...

i love the changes in interface as mentioned above by some of our frnds...

my problem is that...

1. i'm getting a tone whenever i send a msg ( for last call charge in india)...

2. even if i put my mobile in silent mode and send a msg its vibrating for the same reason, though i have disabled vibration in my settings...

3. for delivery report too i'm getting notification sound...

4. sometimes when i enter into any message suddenly after getting into my inbox, my screen is flashing once or twice and coming out of the particular message.

more than this its cool... but these four things annoying me a lot...

anyone have a solution for this????

thanks in advance...

These are the problems I faced after I upgraded from 2.3.4 to 2.3.6. I have given my phone to the Authorised Service Center twice in the last two weeks. On both occasions they gave it backs saying problems are fixed but when I check its the same. My problems are

1) Full battery notification sound & icon (in notification bar) does not work.
Update 7-4-2012. This seems to have been solved. See post 67 & 69 below.
2) Battery drains v fast.
3) Noticed that battery charges very fast whereas in the past from 25% to full would take about 1 hour 50 mins to 2 hrs now happens in about 30

When I went to the service center the engineer there told me that after typing *#1234#
Showed me this on my phone
PDA: S5830DDKQ8
PHONE: S5830DDKQ8
CSC: S5830DDKQ7
He told me this is the latest s/w (even though I had these problems only after updating OTA). Can others who have updated from 2.3.4 to 2.3.6 please confirm if you have the same display after trying out the code AND if you have the same problems as I have listed in post #65 above. I was told by this engineer that points (1) & (4) are now normal for this ver of firmware for the other points I am still testing the phone but I have a strong suspicion that these guys are giving me BS as Samsung India has not released a change log for India for this ver.
My phone shows the following in About Phone
2.3.6
s5830DDKQ8
Kernal ver 2.6.35.7-perf-CL972857
dpi@dell166#1

Build No.
gingerbread.ddkq8

Can anyone with the same update please confirm. Also mention your location as I am given t understand that the functionality can change in versions depending on location.

You are right. I tried it & after about 50 minutes after it showed 'Full Charge' it buzzed to indicate its fully charged & charger can be disconnected with the full battery icon in the notification bar. :D So one problem is solved now I have to see how long the battery lasts after this full charge.

Thanks once again.
