Samsung i8510 INNOV8 Thread

[adamr]

ok think its fair to have a thread for the iNNOV8 ... add apps or themes you think are cool for this phone ...

so let me start with themes, this author has some good themes imo,

There is also a new version of the Samsung PC Studio that has the added option of being able to update your phones firmware via the internet (no update available for me though)

I've got my Innov8 and would like to know if you guys experience the same general problems that I have: battery life sucks and the dust under the screen. Seems these are general problems. Other then that, it's an absolutely amazing phone. Just love it to bits!!!

I read this on another site now. Haven't seen if it works yet, but just FYI:

"As Far as battery life is concerned on this phone if you switch off auto pivert (the setting that allows your screen to automatically adjust depending which way your looking at it side ways on or long ways) in the settings then your battery life will greatly improve. i was getting 6 hours before now i get 2 and half days. hope this helps "

I've just read that if you use other themes, other then the installed ones, it also drains your battery. They also says that Installing Garmin Mobile XT drains your battery as it does not shut down properly and you have to do it manually. Not sure how to do this though. I've just removed Garmin Mobile and I'm rather just using the Route 66 on it. Hopefully this will help with my battery. Getting only a day's use out of it.

I can now officially report that these tips above work. I have uninstalled Garmin Mobile XT, gone back to one of the pre-installed themes, taken off auto pivet, and I've charged my phone two days ago and still on full battery!!! It works!!!

A mass of files if you know what to look for

no wonder almost no-one has one, since it seems to be quite a mission to get stock

I have this phone for a couple of months now and was wondering if anyone had any problems with it? The problems I have are:

1. The phone turns off randomly without warning.
2. Does not appear to have a zoom for the camera even though I thought I saw one mentioned in the manual somewhere.
3. Drops calls very often.
4. Battery has a strange way of running out, it can be full one minute and then on its last legs the next. Strange.
5. Sometimes when the screen is closed/locked, it scrolls by its self. Well, seems to, as it looks like you pressed buttons and then closed the slider again. Not sure.

Got mine today, simply love it. Used to have a N95. This is just such a nice upgrade. Originally took the N85...... took it back the next day.

BTW, zoom on innov8 is the volume button on left side of phone (on bottom if you take normal pictures like me) so far no problems, (only had it for 4 hours) Love the optical mouse key, works perfectly.

Will post if I have any problems
