I actually called their tech support line about it but tech support said I needed to talk to their embedded apps team... the embedded apps team told me that I needed to talk to tech support. I hung up after that as I didn't fancy a game of telephone tennis. Anybody come up with a fix for this? It's no big deal but it'd be handy...

Achilles wrote: » No you'll have to stop using the wallpaper for it to now drain your battery. It's the processing power required for the wallpaper itself that's draining the battery, nothing to do with where the memory is located.

The phone charges relatively quickly with the stock samsung USB cable but I notice it's much slower to charge with a couple of cables I bought on ebay and one I had at home. I thought these were generic micro USB cables, am I imagining the speed difference in charging?

yllw.ldbttr wrote: » Ok, I get that, but I'm talking about cables here, rather than the actual plug. I've used generic cables in the samsung charger and the process is slow. I've used the samsung cable connected to a pc/ generic plug and the process is fast. Any combo not involving the actual stock samsung cable is slow. Hence my confusion.
