Just helped a friend flash Speedmod to his new phone.

Guess what I discovered? GPS locked in 25 seconds and the phone was just newly flashed (to Froyo). And SIM card was not present, meaning that it's not using A-GPS and I tried that inside my room.

Dang! Even mine with A-GPS takes longer than that.

true. you are right.
but from consumer standpoint, its better to have more & wasted ram than not enough so i say the more the merrier.

just because today we do no see the need to utilize that much ram, doesn't mean tomorrow it won't be utilized

Yup.
Consumer pov: Bigger is always better right
The average joe and jane will always think 1gb to be better than 512 or 768mb ram. even though they may not utilize half of it.

I remember long time ago at lowyat plaza, there were banners advertising intel's 4mb L2 cache or something. I'm sure normal consumer have no idea what it means.

Samsung pov: Samsung is leveraging its advantage in flash memories. might as well put in 1gb

My pov: satisfied with my phone. Not impressed with games on the phone. If I want to play high end games, I use my desktop.

Verdict: imo, sgs2 will sell well. because of its brilliant screen and availability.


addon: There's very little info about kal-el but this is mindblowing http://androidcommunity.com/kal-el-nvidia-...gra-2-20110218/

that the new batch maybe, so GPS already fixed

Lucky them! That means its hardware related rite?

Just tested different modem rite now. Unfortunately, i cannot conclude which modem has the best combination for fastest+stable fixed. They vary each time i tested. This includes zsjpe, jpp, jpx, jpy, dxjpb and dxjpa.

Btw, new gto ultimate is out! very smooth without lagifx+low memory killer option(hc ver is fixed)+350mb ram with 720p video recording!

nono should be ZSJPE. i meant the megaupload link somehow directs you to JPD download which is the wrong one. i used rapidshare

if you have not download, this is the one

okay i can confirm now that GPS Aids help in getting GPS locking faster(really fast infact), but i still not confirm if it will still be the same if i was at another location,

When I tested the GPS on the SGS earlier, I don't have GPS aids enabled, cause I haven't got time to fiddle with the settings yet.

I thought it's more for power saving?

A-gps is power saving coz its not using gps to get sat-lock. It uses data from telco network instead. The biggest power draw from any phone would be gps. Enabling a-gps not only make it faster to lock, but also make it more battery friendly.

Btw, have u tested your friend gps again just to double confirm it can lock within 25sec?

Tried again on 2nd time, it locked in 29 sec.

Without A-GPS as well, cause sim card hasn't been put in yet. And again, sensor aiding was not enabled.

Hi. Good day to all!

question, BIG one. before that pls accept my apologies but i've searched over the net but haven't found any answer.

Q. i've installed speedmod kernel. should i enter recovery mode and enable all the tweaks?

TQ.

yeah, enable the recommended ones ®

thanks for the prompt reply. enable tweaks marked with R?

Not sure should it be enabled.. I've tried enabled it. Guess what? Quadrant score slightly lower and battery consumption slightly higher than turning them off! Maybe this happens only on mine.. Btw this was tested on k13b

in progress now. stock ROM from kies + speedmod 13b + enable recommended tweaks + enable lagfix (ext4).

quarant score 1329. not bad.

i hope battery last longer.

seem that my sgs dated 2010.05.28. any gps fix advice?

thanks again!

somehow it makes the phone smoother i guess, battery drain not really an issue on my sgs
try using fasterfix or gps aids from the market

To test the battery life, wait for few cycles then only the battery will perform at its optimum. For gps fix, start first with downloading GPS Aids from the market. Further inquiries bout the software can be tracked on this link.

I've posted few gps fixed. U can traced back to my previous post. Not sure it will help u. But it did helped me! Just make sure u have nandroid backup just in case something goes wrong!

Added on February 19, 2011, 12:51 pm Probably! That's why the quadrant score slightly lower in exchange for a smoother interface! But i don't really mind bout the quadrant score as its not a good measurement of how slick the phone is

Gps aids application really mind blowing, gps lock instantly with accuracy 10-15m, every SGS owner should download this application!!

I know that we can create folder in home screen but can we do the same at the apps screen. Thanks for the help.
