Troubleshooting the Galaxy

---

Hey guys just got the phone 2 days ago and i have a few trouble with it.
Long time user of android since G1 but some of the common things i do is not as visible as it seems.

I am from south east asia and i am using the DXJF4 firmware.

Right now the most common problem is that :

1) When you receive sms, you get 2 notifications one from the original sms from android and one from the samsung sms manager. How can i disable the original one?

2)How the hell do you assign ringtones? It seems like it's not easily accessed from the contacts menu?

3) On the top left handside above the volume button there seems to be a hole is that my set alone or is there a reason to have a hole there?

Okay so after searching a bit i found some of the answers.

1) There is no way to disable the 2 notifications for sms. You get both which is an arse.
I can't find any way to disable the original one.

2)You can only assign individual ringtone to contacts in the phone, that measn your google contacts can't be assigned. What a load of crap.

I'm sure there's a way to fix those. As soon as I get mine up and running, I'll try and help.

If all else fails, a custom rom will fix it, whenever that happens

The hole is where you would mount a wrist strap, or in Korea, one of those dangling decorations they all love.

I dun have this problem. I only receive 1 notification for SMS.

For assigning ringtones to contacts, this option is not available if your contacts are not phone contacts, eg contacts synced with gmail. The only way to assign ringtone to these contact is to create a phone contact and link the 2 together. Then you can assign the ringtone to the phone contact. This works for me.

Hmm yeah the phone contact is dumb IMHO.

But i am getting to notification, one white sms logo like the old android and another yellow envelope which i think is the samsung one.

What firmware are you on?

I am using a Malaysian unit with JBF4 i think.

So you only get one notification is it? The yellow icon?

Argh i if only there is a way to access the old sms programs.

When Im tryin to call someone Im always getin a tone after the line first rings can I disable it?

It's under setting, under call settings.
