Why you did that?

Some android users think is a standar rule/possibility for all devices: bought new phone, root and install rom manager for search new roms. Some of ones do without use phone for a week, without know if the stock rom is good or bad. Flash phone just for fun. This way is the last way if device come with many bugs. But ACE doesn't have it (very few).

I don't know if shop will return a new one. Brick phone was you fail.

And again: with this device, samsung made a good work: stock ACE rom is fast, no lags, and very quite to use everyday. I bought ACE for my girlfriend and i decide to leave all stock in ACE becouse is good too.

I have SGS: it need to be rooted, speedmod and flash with Darky's rom, but because come from samsung with lags, lot of bugs and more.

So, DO NOT USE rom-manager, becouse ACE is not supported.

what must i say to the customer service

adityo16 what do u said to the customer service? tell me plz?? where are u lived?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Danji:
The only way to return for new one, is just to create and tell a big lie to shop. Just try to say it bricked with official update. Of course it will not correct becouse your fail. With a few money (in italy about 30$) official samsung support center unbrick it...

Hy there, i got this phone this week and have been thourghly testing it. I have found out that its very unstable. It freezes often while doing simple stuff like listening to music and more often while multitasking. I have the latest firmware, and i suspect that the builtin task manager is causing instability. I hope that we get some updates from samsung, or even better if the development picks up here at xda. I was expecting a better phone, mainly more stable than this, because the device in its current state is unusable for me. I am very disappointed and will be selling it if the software doesnt improve in the near future.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] jeffdijkstra:
As to both you and the quoted, my phone 'died' the same way, messed around with ROM manager and tried to back up the firmware before continuing, then it stopped working, no display, no three button tricks, no nothing.

I returned it to the store with a little lie that my phone broke while trying to factory reset it, and yes they fell for it, probably because it was 2 days old.

Hi to everyone,

This site is very very awesome!!

Anyway I've bought this phone (SAMSUNG ACE S5830).Very good phone but when I trying to back up my firmware for the first time it happened the same strange thing happened to others members on this thread and in particular THE BRICK OF THE PHONE as soon as I am TRying to BACK UP MY ROM.So i got a new one for my fortune because was in warranty. Is there a checked method to backup my rom.?I don't want to brick another phone. :)

Thanks to everyone
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Danji:
Why need to backup your rom? You can find lastest rom at samfirmware.

There aren't cooked roms at moment, so useless system backup.

If you just want save your data, use titanium backup with root.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] giovax820:
Thanks for the reply Danji.

there is no specific reason.Only for my knowledge about this phone so that when the cooked rom will be ready and I'll know how to backup the rom because pressing HOME + POWER + VOL DOWN was not the backup voice there was only UPDATE.ZIP from SD and other three voices that I did not remember now.

Thanks for the reply.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] peeter123:
I got the same message, but it worked anyway. Phone updated successfully.

If your phone is dead now, try to restore with kies.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] maniactolga:
how can i restore with kies?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] peeter123:
It's somewhere in the menu.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] jeffdijkstra:
Maybe because I answer it a billion times to people who don't bother using the search function, if people would learn to search and read more I wouldn't need to answer the same question every single time ;)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] jeffdijkstra:
They don't have my name, neither my IMEI or whatever data, I don't think the store could care less since they buy huge stocks of a product and one more or less of them that's going back for repairs isn't a big deal for them ;)

They can't sue me for them not being thorough enough in the store with testing the phone or questioning me.

Restarting the phone solved the issue as of now. But I am a bit scared as the same issue on Galaxy 3/5 have affected users a lot.

I think the Control buttons on Notification Bar cause this corruption.

Any views/suggestions ?

Corning Gorilla glass lists Samsung Galaxy Ace as a featured product on their website. I can't post the link cuz I'm new here, but you may google it.

Who's brave enough to confirm it?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] majedev:
Well, many people have the issue of connecting with ad-hoc wireless network on many Android handsets, and Galaxy Ace is no exception.

I managed to get it connected after messing around with system files, but I had to restart the phone everytime I try to reconnect to the network.

Bottom line: buy yourself an AP-enabled wifi card, works like a charm!

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] syncaine:
where you get this information?

(otkuda takaya informacia?(rus) )
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Petrovski80:
I was having the same problem. I called Samsung support (in the Netherlands), they told me the Android version on the Ace is a little different than for instance on the Galaxy S. He actually used the words "less complete" (in Dutch of course).

Anyway, you can choose the USB mode from the notifications area, once you're connected via USB you can select it from there. However, the USB mode selection possibility in the notification area only shows when you are connected to a computer that has Samsung Kies installed. That's right, without Samsung Kies it is not possible to connect to any computer in 'mass storage' mode. Try it: connect to any computer that does not have Samsung Kies, the notification area stays empty.

Pretty damn useless.

I hope someone can help me. I have a mini bluetooth keyboard. It pairs and works with my ipod, laptop and archos 70. I bought it, however, to use with my Samsung Galaxy Ace..and tho it paired, it connects and immediately disconnects. I installed the bluekeyboard Jp so it was finally in the settings. my question is..both my archos 70 and Ace are running on Froyo 2.2.1 yet it works on the Archos and not the Ace..could someone please give me any idea why it immediately disconnects so I know what to do next?

Thank you guys..look forward to any advice xx

( just read Petrovski's post above and wondering if it is perhaps a weak version of android causing this)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] syncaine:
this method without Samsung Kies maked possible to connect to any computer in 'mass storage' mode.

Use this driver: SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones, and in your phone (on "up panel") push "connect disk"

sorry, my version is russian and my bad english, on my work, I use this method successfully

Did somebody else experience a huge battery drain when switching from 2G to 3G network with network data on? Usually it lasted for 2,5 d but when I turn on 3G it eats my battery in just 6 h O.o.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] JerryPi:
Hy my ace also drains battery much faster on 3g then on 2g. And i also have other problems with it :-/
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] roninxt:
This is given on all phones. 3g consumes battery more than 2g. Why make it a problem when it is not.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] JerryPi:
You are right about that. Its just that the difference in power consumption between 2g an 3g is far greater on this one than it is on my htc wildfire.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Damnzel:
I'm also aware of it, but 6 hours of standby time are a joke. I charged it in the evening and it was empty over night again .. battery statistics say each cell standby and phone idle take up 45 % of battery capacity :confused:
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] harrythescorpion:
well, i just tried this trick. if u have noticed, the "USB debugging" automatically turns on even if u have it un checked in the settings. so what i did was. when i connected the phone via an usb cable(onto a computer that doesnot has the kies installed), i unchecked the usb debugging, and immediately, i got an option in the drop down menu to connect to an us b device. and when i clicked on it, that D-roid picture came up that said turn usb on. and i clicked on it and voila! my phone showed up as mass storage device in my computer. Try this. it should work.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] vrl29:
i confirm this simple trick working on my galaxy ace that is connected to a PC without Samsung Kies. nice find!

to recap, here's the path after connecting the USB cable:

settings -> application -> development -> untick USB debugging

Firmware updates???

Hey guys,

I am a noob, but I read a lot about firmware updates for this phone(I own it too). Well what is the use of these "firmware" updates?

thanks!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Petrovski80:
I will definitely try this tomorrow at work. Very good find!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Petrovski80:
If my USB mass storage annoyance proves fixed tomorrow, there is only one major issue remaining: wifi problems. I have two types of problems with my Ace regarding wifi:

1) Wifi will not switch on at all.

2) Wifi is enabled but no data is being transferred.

They both seem to occur randomly. I've googled for a solution: some people think it's caused by router settings. Suggested solutions include disabling 'mixed mode' on your router (set it to N or G only), turning off auto channel switching, etc. I've tried these suggestions although they all seemed like a longshot. Result: not fixed. I recently installed alogcat and waited for the next 'switch on' failure. This was just now. Logfile output:

D/WifiService( 171): setWifiEnabledDialog: true
D/WifiService( 171): ****************setWifiEnabledDialog(), allowWifi****************true

I/wlan_tool( 1869): ar6000 driver fails to load
I/wlan_tool( 1877): wifi unloading
D/Beautiful Widgets( 692): WIFI_STATE_CHANGED_ACTION

Quite similar to the logfile posted by sahilkhurana earlier in this thread. Does anybody have a clue what's going on here?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] roninxt:
1. I think the wifi not switching on is a firmware bug.

What i do is reset the wifi driver and turn it on. Dial the wlantest code to reset the wifi driver: *#*#526#*#*

You need to dial it manually or copy and paste from a notepad. Saving it via phonebook and calling will not work.

Now i need an app which will do the the wlantest automatically. Anyone there knows any app?

Note: When your below 15% battery power you cannot enable wifi nor the wlantest will work successfully.

2. Wifi is enabled but no data is being transferred

Haven't encountered this one. But when using wifi tether i cannot transmit data. What i do is i turn off and then turn on the wifi tether.

Maybe you can turn off and turn on wifi again to receive data.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] guika:
Hi all wifi not turning on is a froyo bug. Sgs hardcore is trying to make a solution fixing it. Maybe it will be generic solution in the future.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Petrovski80:
Thanks for the wlan test tip. Sure beats rebooting my phone to fix the driver. Will try it next time I encounter the problem.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Petrovski80:
Hmm let's hope the fix will be general. I'll contact samsung support by phone to see if they can confirm this. Thanks for the info.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] roninxt:
@Petrovski80

Just updated my post. Saving the wlantest code to the phonebook and calling will NOT work. You need to dial manually.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Petrovski80:
Yeah I noticed. Anyway my contact entry still helps me remember the dial code. ;-)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Damnzel:
Ok for anybody still interested, I think I fixed it. If I'm right the wireless synchronisation feature of Winamp seems to cause the Ace to steadily switch the mobile data modes.

I also changed the network setting to auto GSM/CDMA in the Test menu (enter *#*#4636#*#* in dial app) ... anybody has experience with that?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Jonathan_m84:
If you dont know why you should do it and are happy with your current system, dont change anything, fixing it when something goes wrong will take lots of time and requires some non-noob-ness;)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] manju991:

I have been using the galaxy ace for a month now.

*#1234*

PDA - S5830DDKA7

PHONE - S5830DDKA7

CSC - S5830DDKA7

I haven't touched anything except for installing apps.

every thing is perfect on this phone,my apps install on Sd card by default and i even have an option to move them to phone.

I have Installed all sorts of apps on my SD and my phone storage is now 138/181mb.. i guess even if the destination of the app is SD card,still it keeps some data on the phone mem also.

so there is only 40 mb on the phone mem now,does this have any effect on the phone performance ? What is the benifit of rooting? Also are there any new samsung roms with improvements ?

Angry birds plays very smoothly,but in some levels it is jerky for few seconds..

angry birds seasons is a bit tish tish at some level ,so uninstalled it..

What is the best browser for this phone ?

I have installed,skyfire,dolphin hd, opera...
