Does the GPS issue affect google maps too?

I haven't tried out Papago but my Google Maps get to lock on real fast

TeamWhiskey has got SGS Vibrant running at 1.6ghz stably... wonder if I should flash to 1.6ghz too... Doesn't seem to be very useful to me as my phone is already smooth as hell...

I wonder if it improves battery life

Okay my hands got itchy and I flashed the 1.6ghz kernel... achieved Quandrant score of 3136 and 12.31 MFLOPS...

I didn't try it... flashed it back to Fusion. It actually came with a GPU OC too... TS screenshot shows 89FPS with neocore.

Speed improvement part is very noticeable. Booting speed is much faster and computing of application list is also smoother and takes shorter time.

Your battery life is abnormal. Assuming that you don't turn on your WIFI/3g, eight hours of sleep should deplete at most 5-8% of your battery with stock rom. Try reconditioning your battery.

Obviously it will be buggy since it's not for the international version. Works perfectly fine for me. I am not sure if you could use the Mahattan RC0 kernel that allows you to flash to 1.6ghz as it's customized for Vibrant but according to the team, they are releasing it for the other variants also. I flashed back to JAC kernel after a while because I feel that 1.6ghz is overkill and setCPU doesn't allow me to stop at 1.2ghz.... It must be 800mhz or 1.6ghz.

First time I actually put some serious test on my GPS... Locked 4 satellites in 5 minutes, 9 in 10 minutes... Wonder if that's normal

Did you have any auto task killer installed ?

Maxis is infamous for overcharging data plan users. 2G and 3G would be the same except the speed and battery power consumption. Only reason I can think of is that 2G takes longer to load than 3G, then the time you spent on data connection would be longer but I doubt that affects anything... IIANM telco charges you based on your data usage(ups/downs) not how long you use.

I used to have a lot of problems with Odin until I found out the right sequence to use it:

1) Launch Odin and select all the files and/or options needed
2) Connect USB to your phone without the battery
3) Go into download mode by holding vol up/down and insert the battery

After this Odin should be able to pick up your phone. Those guides I found on xda(and in this thread) usually recommend you to get into download mode first before plugging your phone to get connected to Odin which will cause many problems such as getting stuck at File Analysis/cache.rfs

I'm amazed at how well xda devs do their jobs for free. Flashed to Project Core v1 and current Linpack MFLOPS = 9.874 Quadrant = 2470

I actually hope that Samsung will design the phone for Google since they are always releasing phones with leading technologies in term of hardware but they fail so much on software development, which is what Google is strong at.

Get it from Garage Sales..... it's been mentioned for a gazillion times

What do you mean by the "H"?

Added on November 2, 2010, 10:36 pmI root my phone the next day I got it. Applied lag fix and installed all the recommended Android apps right after. Didn't do anything until last week when I started flashing ROMs and messing with kernels to improve the performance of the phone.

Does anyone notice black lines scanning through the camera when taking picture/video under certain lighting? That problem seems to follow the video taken... you can clearly see the black lines cycling throughout the video

Weird... My phone battery life changes every charge. It's in a cycle -> long/short/long/short...

You have that many headphones? Or you went to Jaben
