Samsung Galaxy Ace

Samsung Galaxy Ace

It has been 50 days since I bought my  first “Smartphone”, an Android phone – Samsung Galaxy Ace. I preferred Samsung Galaxy Ace since it has everything I need for a smartphone (except for a Flash Player – no support for adobe flash). Here are five reasons why I choose the Ace:

  • First, its price, its not that expensive yet it is packed with almost everything that a smartphone user may experience.
  • Second, its 5MP camera with LED flash, well I hate bringing a camera wherever I go, so I preferred a phone with a good one (I know SGA camera is not that good, I have compared it with other expensive cellphone cams, it takes time to take photos (using auto focus) compared to others, and not really good in night/indoor shots).
  • Third, its screen size, its not that big yet not that small too, in short just enough :D ..
  • Fourth, the looks, I don’t know, but I love the overall appearance of Samsung Galaxy Ace :D , the design is very simple, yet elegant.
  • Fifth, well its Android OS, since Android is “app-centric” (IMO) I can do almost anything I want, and well, it has a huge apps available, and best of all, many are free :D .

Some problems I encountered using my Samsung Galaxy Ace:

  • Before I bought my Samsung Galaxy Ace, I have already heard about the SOD (sleep of death) issue. After around 3 days of having my SGA, yes I experience the what they call SOD, my phone just sleeps and it wont wake up, the battery is around 50%, and its turned on, it just hang-up while its sleeping. Since I am already aware with the problem, I tried experimenting using the tips I read online and i guess the best solution is turning off your WiFi if your going to an area without a WiFi signal or has a very poor signal. Well, that solves my problem temporarily. Until Samsung Kies  tells me that an update is available (after a month) from froyo to gingerbread. Update takes about 30 minutes (I have a slow internet connection – Globe Broadband 1mbps :D !peace!) and after that I have never experienced SOD even I turned my WiFi on the whole day and while travelling. (Note: My WiFi policy is “Always On”) Continue reading
