Hey there :)

well great that you have bought an Ace in India! and welcome to XDA.

well having 40 Mb left on your phone might slow your phone down a bit if you have a custom launcher (like adw, launcher pro etc...) installed, otherwise it is not such a problem.

Currently, i personally feel that there is not much use from rooting your device (@ others- guys this is just my opinion). The features like Wifi tethering are already there on FROYO (note: they werent there on Eclair ) so there is no need to root. Probably the need to root will come into picture if a new custom ROM is released (peeters is working on it: check out_ http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=993264# )

Yes a few games tend to be a bit jerky as the onboard RAM is 278, which is kinda small... but that shouldn't be a problem.

The best explorer of all the ones that I have used is the stock explorer(the one that comes installed on your device).

Hope this helped...

Root...

Well you need to unroot first using superclick 1.7 first, then perform a hard reset... that should probably work.... and there is not much use from rooting your device.

I guys, I want to inform you that I installed S5830XXKC1_CSC_SERKB3 in my EURO/ITA Ace, rooting with superoneclick too :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] manju991:
1)If you are from India, go to this page-http://www.samsungapps.com/about/onPc.as , download the kies release of feb 1st.

2)UNINSTALL kies if you have already installed it on your comp.

3)Backup data on your phone(contacts can be backed up as google contacts) and unroot it if you have it rooted.

4)Perform factory reset on phone

5)Install the kies from the file you have downloaded

6)DO NOT USE CUSTOM LAUNCHERS SUCH AS ADW. Use only the stock launcher(The one provided by samsung...)

7)make sure USB debugging is turned on, connect phone to comp via USB

8)connect your phone, it should connect

if not connecting refer to

Hope this helped :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] roninxt:
I don't want to do a factory reset. I use Kies primarily to transfer files.

Right now I'm using a third party application to do ALMOST everything Kies can do except update the firmware and usb tethering.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] pravarthegreatest:
Thanks for the quick reply.I will definitely try this..

I have seen that whenever i connect my phone to my PC usb debugging turns on itself even if it is switched off in the phone's settings..Have u experienced this?

because the quadrant tests in youtube are very low - can I play games well on it ? - Are many apps which I can not run with this phone because of its resolution ?

As far as i know, this device is amazing in gaming.

EDIT: you can probably overclock the phone by rooting the device first (look for SuperOneClick link in this thread) and after you gain root, you can install setCPU from here:

OR this software:

i wanna ask something...

i create some folder in my home screen to place application based on its criteria.The problem is when i reboot my phone,some icons are missing and become default icon (white box with android logo).It will restore back when i clear ram with built in task manager from ace.Is it because that some application installed in sdcard?

sorry for my bad english,thanks before...

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] 2ma:
Since I use LauncherPro instead of the crappy samsung home or what's it called, it seems that the battery lasts longer, and there was no reset, or freeze(the phone froze completely I had to get the battery out to get it run) either.

wifi drops still sometimes, but overall performance seems to be better.

I don't know what's with all the file transfer stuff you are writing, i use ubuntu, i connect the phone to the pc, pull down the notification bar select copy files, and it works like a pendrive.

Does anyone know, I the phone can be unlocked? I would like to use it with a different carrier.

I have successfully mounted the SD card ext2 partition and installed Darktremor's a2sd from here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=715116

Before you start you need a rooted phone, and a partitioned sd card (1st partition is FAT, 2nd partition is ext2). Dardktremor's patch will not be able to mount your ext2 partition at boot time, so you'll have to do it manually by adding the following commands to /system/etc/install-recovery.sh:

#!/system/bin/sh
mount -t ext2 /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /system/sd

After that reboot your phone and type mount|grep mmcblk0p2. If this generated an output then you're good to go. Proceed with the instructions as per Darktremor's post.

hi everyone, i have found an interesting app for our galaxy ace. it's also here in xda:

BLN (by Neldar)

it's an app that uses the touchkey backlights as a blinking notification for certain events (i.e. text messages). although it has been developed for Galaxy S, i assume it can also be used for Galaxy Ace (due to them being almost similar in features). the one thing i'm not sure is about the requirement "kernel must support backlight notification mod" for our Galaxy Ace.

will try this app one of these days...

Internal Storage

Hey guys. I have a question about the amount of internal storage.

When i use the samsung taskmanager -> Last tab (overview) it says Storage 123MB/181MB free.

When i go to settings -> SD-card and Phonememory It says internal phonememory Free space 58,53MB

What is the difference between the two above.

Or are they the same and is one of them presenting wrong info??

Hi to all. just want to ask if there's any way of increasing the notification volume. I've set it to the max already but it still sound weak. Also set all sliders to max, notification did not improve. When I used the same tone as a Phone ringer, the sound is loud as it should be. Maybe notification volume is really designed to be not loud? I know the GAce can produce a louder sound, just don't understand why the notification volume is limited.

Any help guys?

Hi. I wanted to ask about making swap partition for an Ace on SD card. I know how to create it along with ext2 and fat32, but I think it does need mounting in the system. Am I right?

I bought my Ace almost 2 weeks ago, not rooted yet and I'm wondering if it's worth it for me.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] jeffdijkstra:
You either buy an Ace with a white back or a black back, you can't get both unless you pay for 2 phones. The black one has matte bumped texture on the back which might be slightly better for grip, the white one is smooth, glossy plastic back which feels pretty solid (to be honest more solid than the matte plastic for some reason.)

The prices of both are the same.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] iamLance:
Thank you

Thank you dude! Cause I saw in some unboxing reviews, the box includes one free white back case. We'll probably in this case, which do you prefer? The white back case or the black back case?

Galaxy Ace Philippine Firmware

hello guys, im from philippines, i just recently purchased my galaxy ace and im not very noob when it comes to flashing so i tried to flash a new firmware from s@mfirmware site and it works but my problem is i think its slower than my original firmware. By the way, the reason why i tried flashing my firmware is because i accidentally deleted the Camera.apk using Titanium back up without doing back up so it leave me no choice. My question is, does anyone here has a back up of their own original firmware which is the same as mine or know where to get it officially? its really a pain in the a$$... TIA!!!

i think for every country this is different, the one i bought does nto have the same box as in the video, it is smaller and does not have extra cover and pouch, though when i bought mine i also bought an extra back cover so i have both white and black, i lik the black mush better since it feels more secure to handle than the white one.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] vertcam9:

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] vertcam9:
Let's start on what is good:

- First of all, remember you are buying a mid-range Android phone not a high end one (so do not get your hopes so high)

- Overall Performance is good

- texting is great also, nice built in keypads/boards

- calling is great

- playing games great also

- going to menusis fast

- Camera is great

What not to expect too much:

- Video is not that good, average lang

- Phone internal memory is small but it does not affect the overall performance

- to save on phone memory, try to use your SIM contact capability MAX it ot before using the phone internal memory for contacts

- Limit conversation history to a minimum (20-50)

- Install a prgoram for Clearing RAM and Cache so it will always be fast

- Every time you plug in to USB you cannot play games on SD

- Using Kies is a pain in the a$$

Currently im using an 8GB SD and performance did not changed

Hi guys,

When i connected to Kies today, there is a frimware update notification (im in the philippines) it seems that from xxxxDKA9 it will now be xxxxDKC1. I did try to update but it timed out, its a good thing though that my phone was not affected (although it gave a scare when i tried to open it it wont start, but it open anyway : ). So anyone successfully updated their firmwares via Kies?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] iamLance:
Please reply as soon as you can.

Wow! Thanks for the help dude! By what do you mean when you said limit conversation history to a minimum of 20 - 50? Did you mean the messages received and sent? Or the calling? What can you recommend of a program that clears RAM and Cache? And what do you mean by this, "Every time you plug in to USB you cannot play games on SD"? When I install games and apps via my computer, I can't save it in my memory card but when I install games via wifi, I can install it on my SD? Is there an application that can transfer apps from phone to SD? Why is it a pain using kies? Any other alternative aside from kies? Sorry for the many questions. I'll buy this tomorrow. I don't mind about the video recording anyway. It's a phone not a video cam. Though still photos with good quality is a plus. :)

as for the comparison between Galaxy Ace & Wave phones, please note that they have different OS (Android vs. Bada OS). Bada OS is Samsung's own attempt at creating a Smartphone OS, so it might not have lots of apps compared to Android...
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] vertcam9:
Hi,

1. conversation - text messages are saved like conversation and there is a setting to limit it so that you save space.

2. Clearing RAM - there is a built in Free RAM in the Apllication Manager in Froyo, you can surf the android market for alternative

3. When you connect to PC via USB the SD is being mounted (read) so it is locked there, you cannot run apps installed in the SD card

4. THere is no alternative to Kies, :(

5. THere is an application (i read it somewhere) to enable you to install from PC via USB.

6. Yup sale nga, bought mine last week tapso this week sale :( (FAIL!) anyway, i dont have specs of the Wave 2 so i cant give my opinion.

I'm sure this is the case for Far East, but note that different regions do seem to have difference packages. I recently purchased a Galaxy Ace for my wife, this did come with both black and white battery covers (Network - 3 UK).

Seems a nice phone and good introduction to Android for her. Better feel in the hand than my SGS (solid, nice grippy backplate as long as you stick with the black) and runs well on the stock firmware. I just have to make sure I don't compare screens side by side when she is around! ;)
