Well his friend get lock less than 25sec without data (no-agps) mind you.. In fact no sim card was present in that phone and it get lock in a room! How do u define that? Since 'hardware fix' by samsung simply not possible for latest batch (based on your thought), i guess his phone is the luckiest out of millions of sgs!

Btw, on the papago display showing 15m, that is not the accuracy my dear. If you zoom out, the number would increase! from 15m>17m>20m>25m>30m>40m>60m>80m. This number indicates how far the distance you are viewing from the actual map. If you are using gps test, then the accuracy (meters/feet) itself is the actual accuracy. Don't try to confuse yourself with it. Our sgs can get accuracy of up to 5m only. Cannot get below than that. On normaly condition, i do get accuracy ranging from 5m to 30m (but mostly its on 10m) Depends on the weather too.


Added on February 19, 2011, 6:56 pmNope. Flashing kernals won't delete all your stuff. If you install new rom only there's a possibility it might have been deleted.

- flashing speedmod, no need backup apps+data
- can root after flashing

before all that, you need to see if you have 3-button combo working for download mode (switch off, then hold down volume+home+power button) and recovery mode (switch off, then hold up volume+home+power button)

I assume you want to flash by odin method?
*
ic... Well, last time i tested with recovery mode (jz play play only), jz simple switch off my phone n hold volume up+home+power and it works.
So i assume tat download mode might work as well.

Yup, im following the guide here by odin method.

1 question, "Copy the speedmod-kernel-x-y.tar file into the same directory as Odin."
Is it mean if my Odin (Odin3 v1.52.exe) is in Desktop, speedmod-kernel-x-y.tar also must in Desktop as well ?

Yea, maybe flash to another version of Speedmod kernel if K13C really drain battery. Noted about disabling the lagfix and tweaks. Will try it out this weekend. Thanks for your help! smile.gif

Hi bunnymaker, do give a feedback after u hav flashed to another version to verify if K13C drains battery.
Because currently mine 1 is stock rom + speedmod K13C. I charge my phone every end of the day.
Mainly use for sms. Data network is not activated.
Hopefully other version will stay a bit longer, at least 1 and a half day. tongue.gif

True, since the bootloader is not locked, it is very hacker friendly unlike other manufacturers.

Quick review of simply galaxy sweet rom  (what a mouthful!)
- beautiful honeycomb theme - modified circle battery mod, icon, dialer, among others.
- everything is faster than insanity. Maybe because animations are all off compared to the previous rom and I have avoided installing apps that may slow down the phone.
- idle battery drain is excellent. 5%/9 hours. Will test this again tonight.
- there are few unnecessary apps like quick boot, social hub,memo and others. I think they try to make a complete rom. Certainly not a minimalistic rom like insanity. Of course, can change all this manually.
- finally, spb shell works, insanity 0.5.3 didn't.

So far I'm satisfied and will stay with it for a while. The rom maker seems like a cheerful and friendly person. Recommended.

SPB shell ? link plz~
wanted to try too since most of the feedback make me itchy~ tongue.gif
