There's start-settings - clocks and alarms - more tab - display clock in title bar in all apps. Then I use batti to show the battery status at the top of the screen.

There probably are programs to show both, I'm sure others will have recommendations, or since most of these solutions work on all WinMo devices you can check all other device threads or the software forum for other ideas.

I need to have activesync running every once in a while to sync with my google account, but I set it to manually sync,.

However, I notice no matter how many times I kill it, it's ALWAYS running! Any way to make it run less?

To my knowledge (and experience), Activesync always runs on Windows Mobile smartphones. Part of this is so that when you plug the phone into the PC a synchronization can be started automatically. Also Activesync is required for push exchange mail. On other devices, various hacks have been employed to stop activesync from running, but honestly with the specs of the Intrepid I wouldn't worry about it. Anything else you leave running is going to take far more resources, generally speaking.

Just my 2 cents...

Anyone know how to find the serial number on the intrepid, so you can register the product on samsung.com? It won't accept HEX or DEC as the serial number on there.

Isn't there some place in the software it would be? It won't accept the MEID under phone information.

The site says to use the ESN, but I can't find that anywhere on the phone. Only hex/dec under the battery

thanks

Last time I tried to register my phone with Samsung, the registration page claimed the Intrepid did not exist.

I'll poke around with it again, as I'd love to register and complain about the message notification light.

Edit: still unable to register this phone. Model SPH-I350 on the site does not match model SPH-i350 Intrepid (see the pics when you select "where is my model/serial number" - it's the wrong phone. If this wasn't a case for "do not buy this phone - no mfr support" I can't imagine what is.

What's wrong with the light?

If you set the LED light to blink when a new email or text message is received, the light will blink only for a random period of time, and then shut off. Sometimes it only blinks 2-3 times.

Ok that's what I thought you were referring to, it does it on mine as well. Sometimes it doesn't even blink at all.
