Information about new features

Mon, 30 Jan 2012 12:48:01 GMT

Hi,

I have already a Samsung i9100 and recently I've bought a SK17i updated to lastest 2.3.4 firmware, but I have noticed several differences from my other Android Device:

- Pressing the camera button in the main screen will not open the Camera Application, there are any option to enable?

- No mobile 3G activation/deactivation in Shutdown menu

- No option for filter or save numbers on SIM Contacts in Contacts menu

- No power saving mode for prevent battery drain

Thanks for all your replies

there are widgets to do so, on the homescreen -> press MENU -> add -> widgets -> data traffic

or you can use this widget/app

Power Control

open your phonebook -> MENU -> Import contacts -> SIM card saving contacts on SIM card its a bit obsolete, you should sync them with gmail/google.

regarding the camera, that's a bit odd, usually if you press the camera button it will launch the camera, what do you mean by main screen? is it the lockscreen or the homescreen? if its the homescreen, it should launch the camera.

Thanks for your replies uliwooly-wooly.

After depress the Camera button on Home screen for more than 1/2 second the Camera app will inizialize.

Saving contacts on SIM is useful for me because I move the card from 2 phones and I need all the numbers synced, I know that a strange think but other Gingerbread releases give this option.

syncing w/ google will be a great option, that way you can access your contacts w/ any phone that has internet access.

open your phonebook

press MENU button -> tap on Send Contacts -> select all -> send it to your email

on your computer

-> download the file -> go to your gmail -> click on contacts -> click on more actions -> on the drop down menu click on "import" -> choose the file -> and click import
