Where else I can download the Samsung Android drivers for my SGH-T589 (Graviti) because Samsung doesn’t have the drives on their site for this particular model … and I really would love to get rid off so many useless apps that T-mobil chocked the phone with it. Can you help? Thanks
I unlocked a gravity 2 and put it on my att network. Every thing works fine except I can not send or recieve pictures. When I get a picure th phone wants to enable data roaming (to get it from Tmobile I think) and of course that fails because I do not have a tmobile account. will rooting the phone solve this problem? will rooting give me the ability to turn on wifi which I can not do at this time?
I’m in the middle of installing now, and it just stops responding for the last half an hour. I’m afraid to close it. is it ok to close it in the middle?
how do you turn safe mode off?

worked great on my wife’s phone. Uninstalled all the pre-installed crap, but it didn’t free up any space on her phone. I don’t get it? The pre-installed stuff was on phone memory, not SD card.
you try a restart of phone.. sometimes that will force the phone to redetect free memory space.
