Guys...

It has been 1 week since I flash my SGS to Darky's v8.0 Gingerbread Edition Wipe using Odin3 v1.3 and 512.pit. My SGS show:

Firmware version: 2.3.1
Baseband version: I9000XXJPY
Kernel version: 2.6.32.9 wasted@box #8

Its damn fast and Im really happy compare to the stock firmware.

But Ive two issue:

1. Battery drain fast: Its been a week now. The longest time it can last is 17 hours.

I use my SGS mostly for scrolling like nobody business, play angry birds, browse internet, sms or chat and that's about it. I seldom download app as my app now are more than enuff (for the time being, hehe).
Ive try a lot of way (including the FAQs way) to calibrate the battery but so far.... no improvement.

2. GPS useless.

I have tried the FAQs as well....but still cannot use. I can only use the google maps only which just like what i've used on my Nokia E66.

Hope the sifus can help me here.

Cheers!

any link?

Tq bro... btw, this will fix both, right?

roci,

thanks for the link.

got 2 frequency. 500hz annd 256hz....which 1 better?

R u sure its ok....coz ive been reading this thread and remember that somebody (same firmware like me) the battery can last up to 2 day & several hours! Thats y i tot mine not ok.

On the wifi, do i just use ODIN and then change the MODEM only or there is an actual way?

Btw, Ive already flash the speedmod k12l-500hz. Let see how long it will last this time....

I enable all R. I do not need the O.


How about your lagfix option? do u disable it or enable it?

Experiment? If its harmless, ok to experiment. But if it affect my SGS...then I dare not to experiment.

Sayang woooo

speedmod k12m is out ... might wan to check it out ..
yea one of them is me, and that was while i was using official firmwares of DXJG4 and DXJPA, even last up to 3days+ ... but for custom rom no, coz alot of customization and optimization implemented, for the speed u have to sacrifice something else ...
17hrs for me is good, and usually my phone can last even longer .... brightness set to low, no background sync, disabled data network, super duper heavy texting, roughly an hr calls daily ...
its li-ion battery, just charge whenever there is a plug and charger with u, it is safe to do so ... but dont let the battery to go under 10% which is unhealthy for the li-ion batteries ... lazy to dig out the thread about li-ion batterys, sorry dont have the source ..

1st....Wow..just left the forum for a day and its already 39 pages.

Alvinz....
after i install speedmod k12l, battery is getting better. Now can last for 20+ hours... Thanks anyway for the advise on how to maintain the battery.
Btw, no wonder ur batt can last up to 2 days....So I got the wrong info then...

Enjoying my SGS so much...Luckily I made the right choice for not buying Iphone4.

Cheers
