i have updated to latest FW 2 days ago. so far it SUCKS big time!
the main problem is the battery. it drain superbly fast! it's very annoying! anybody knows how 2 overcome this problem?
i tried ovi map & i simply don't like it. the route is WRONG & always gimme weird route. y'day while navigating around bkt bintang the phone automatically swithed off. WTF! this never happen with garmin.
i've never have any of this problem since last FW. any other way to roll back to previous FW? i hate all these bugs & if i can't roll back the FW i might thinking of changing phone. its a shame for a such wonderful phone that i have been using almost a year.
After update new FW, u may reinstalled Garmin, follow back the FP on hw to overcome battery issue, u cant get back 100%, since GPS uses satellite signal and satellite signals are very very strong, no matter wat u do, u still will not overcome this issue, eg. while we were moving, cloudy weather, in car, someother interference which we wont realise really makes the satellite and out device to pull the signal as strong as it can, this is the cause of battery drain.
myself usually,
- Use Kill me, after my fone turned on, observe the clock will blink once, then if u get in to KILL ME there will be alots of process, i shutdown everything
- Use Kill Me everytime i finish sending out my SMS, Calls and after use of GPS
- I'm on 3G (only wen someone SMS on video calls) otherwise i'll be on GSM
- I could get my batt lasts for 2 days .. since moderate call, moderate sms and seldom wifi, since i have computer with me
