My SGS Home Screen

I have 3 screens.

Purposely I leave the bottom part blank, easier for me to move between pages.

On the 1st screen most of the time I'm looking at my calendar (Smooth Calendar Widget FREE) . What my activity today's and tomorrow. Limit to 4 items only for just nice font size. More than 4 items will make it not readable.

Tweetdeck
It's an Android application that combine Twitter and Facebook in one app. For reading and simple tweetting is just good enough. You may send your tweet direct to fb in a single click. If you check battery usage, Tweetdeck use less battery than fb client + twitter client. It's using dark background to save battery where fb and twitter used white background which consume more battery.

Other frequent application is internet browser and email. I will continue later...

RCA 3.5mm Cable. SGS to TV

Now I could connect my SGS to TV. Watch video and YouTube. But the one that I purchase is a bit shot for gaming. It's 2 feet only.


Note:
1. Makes sure the cable that you purchase have 3 black stripes (mark circle in the image). There are cables with 2 stripes only
2. 3.5mm size
3. White, Yellow and Red output

Where to buy?
Go to http://www.lelong.com.my/
Search for RCA 3.5mm cable...you would see it. RM7 only!

One site slot into your SGS phone...the 3 pin (white, red, yellow) slot into normal video port at your tv.

On your phone select menu setting>display>TV Out . Check it... tadaaaaa...your phone on TV :)
