the irony is I charged my phone fully by 12pm before I sleep. and the battery drains to the last drop by 8am before the 3rd alarm I've set on 9am. This is annoying because sometimes it can't even make it to 7am.

like I've mentioned before, i've tried everything to save battery. how can it drains battery even when it's idle. now it sounds like voodoo is the culprit.

Ok.
let see.

1.) juice defender

guys. thanks for the enthusiast to help.

I've tried to.
1.) disable animated wallpaper. use black background only.
2.) use bgoog.com for homepage.
3.) disable vibrate feedback for UI.
4.) disable sync
5.) disable GPS while indoor.
6.) killed background apps.
7.) put screen under lowest brightness.
8.) turn off wifi
9.) disable 3g and edge data.
10.) i've even tried airplane mode.

Within the time while I sleep from 12am to 8am (8 hours estimated), it drains till the it turns off completely.

I'm going to try to flash the original firmware later.
sigh...

sorry mate. previously i've posted 12pm to 8am. that was wrong. it was suppose to be from 12am to 8am. that's only 8hours in idle.

way worse than my previous iphone (3 years ++ old).

I've already stated before this. I've turned off everything. tried even the airplane mode.

the last thing i can try is the original firmware.

btw, anything wrong with the freeversion of juicedefender?

hmmm...
i've observed that papago consumes battery even I haven't start launching it yet.
I've just uninstalled papago and give it a try.
so far already 40mins since full charge and only dropped 2% so far.
i'll keep reporting.

suspecion for the papago battery drain could be real.
i'm on nearly 6 1/2 hours now and the battery is about 69% at the moment.

as for the gaming argument. I can say things might change since EA has officially announced that they will be supporting android games.
graphically, u can't blame the galaxy s for not having much highend games to play with. it's still have to rely on the game developers who's going to develop games for android.
Android has got many variations of hardware at the moment. in order to be secure with the potential buyers, they have to lower the specification for the game dev as much as possible to secure as much sales as possible for the android platform.

is launcher pro good?
i'm worrying about performance and battery consumption. considering buying it.

flash the firmware back to jg4.
i'm staying out of lagfix for now.

Guys.
SGS can create folders in the home screen.
I've been doing that all along.
this is what i like most about the phone. I've been creating folders for most of the apps.

just press and hold on home screen and u'll see option to create folders.
