For starters, you can choose asia modem JPB. Later on, you can try other modems which may have better performance & battery life.
Why don't you try it for yourself icon_rolleyes.gif I've been getting better battery life and smoothness using speedmod than super optimized kernel after switching back and forth between different versions. I'll try tegrak sometime soon.


Added on January 30, 2011, 4:15 pmTS, got a few suggestions for firstpage

1.:For battery calibration, I'm not sure of draining the battery till empty will do the li-ion battery any good. I read that it'll do harm if it's below 5%. need more clarification from battery experts.
- For step 6, not sure if root access is needed but you can also delete batterystats.bin from sgstools or from recovery mode.
- I usually just charge till full, reboot into recovery and delete batterystats from there. Again, I don't know the best way to calibrate the battery. My method seems fine.

2.Modem testing
can add link to the apps. easier, no need users to open market app. speedtest:
Lbstestmode can be started by dialling *#*#1472365#*#* or can be accessed from sgs tools app.

3. Before flashing
Besides checking if 3 button combo is working, need to backup IMEI too by making a copy of the /efs folder.
See this: http://androidforums.com/samsung-galaxy-s/...tml#post1367506 Needs to be rooted.
*
1. i dont know about the under 5% thingy, but i read it somewhere you need to do this so that the battery count will start as close as possible to 0%
-i think yes you need to have root access, cause it need to have the Read/Write permission in the /system folder. thnx for reminding, forgot that CWM and sgstools can do it
- many steps have been discuss and used by people, i myself also doing it differently, but that the latest i could found on a website

2.okay will do.

3. thx for reminding

You guys won't regret moving to doc's rom. He a real pro biggrin.gif

I have a secret. I know I have been ushering you guys into trying doc's since I first joined this thread but I myself haven't even press the generate button yet biggrin.gif The last rom i tried was the stable one before doc and stefunel introduced the kitchen. Been happy with insanity rom  rclxm9.gif  because there were less posts in nitr8's thread. I like to read everything before flashing a rom and I cannot keep up with doc's rom anymore  rclxub.gif

whats to keep up? just choose, flash and enjoy thumbup.gif

its a hard casing.

For car charger, I am using one designed for iPad (2A current) with USB cable to my SGS.. charges faster than using laptop. Since its USB, I just swap it to charge iPhone. I recommend the USB type.

haha succesful rooted, thx man, but now i can't open root explorer once rooted, it appear a message below:

Root Explorer has not yet managed to obtain root access. Because of issues with Superuser, this often happens the first time the app is run but is usually fine from then on.

Click OK and restart the app to try again. Make sure you respond correctly to the Superuser prompt.

What problem ler? rclxub.gif

uninstall and reinstall root explorer? sometime shit like that do happen for no reason

Just wonder how many resistor should use? First video shown 2 but second video just used 1 also can boot to Download mode.  blink.gif
*
it because the value need to be the same no matter how many you use.

QUOTE
2. a 301k resistor. You can buy one from Digikey, or make one up by joining several resistors together in series, for example 3x100k and 1x1k. The resistor value does need to be fairly accurate (I would guess within 1% of 301k) to trigger download mode. 300K seems to work for everyone so far.

Does someone here recommend apps use to transfer files between SGS and PC without using USB cable? Thx!

i think what you really need is the SNAP and GO by our very own samsung apps, no need cable but you do need wifi though, both you and the phone need to connect to the same wifi, snap with camera what you want and it will automaticly transfer the file,

all you need to do is install both the apps on your computer and phone, no need to do other setting, all is automatic

Dear Sifus, I don't understand about the custom ROM. What does it mean by Themes??

1. Does it mean that the user interface of the custom ROM is different from the Official Samsung ROM?
2. What Should I use to back up my contacts, setting and apps for the first time I flashed to custom ROM?
3. What is a kernel? Does is mean I can change the kernel without changing/ flashing to the custom ROM?
4. I saw some posts that mention some of the ROM is having problem with lagginess, Wifi, GPS locking time, Notification bar, can't download from market place etc...... sound so scary. Can anyone clarify these??
5. Can I restore back to Samsung Original ROM if I'm not happy with the performance of the custom ROM or if I want to send in for warranty claim?
6. Noob question....What is a homemade jig?????

Sorry for so many noobs question. If it's too troublesome to reply all. I would really appreciate if provided a link.
Many thanks to all the sifus.

1. yes, that what theme means right? decoration and stuff, nothing to do with performance, unless of course the animation make you fell the phone faster and such. custom rom can change theme. if yo9u dont like the theme that come with it, you can change it. no sweat

2. contact the best is to sync with gmail, setting you cant save, apps most of us use titanium backup, and yes, all your game save and data usually will be backup as well, i recommend you to use the buy version of titanium if you can, one click to restore all the apps.

3. i dont know how to answer what is kernel. but yes, you can change kernel without having to change to custom rom

4. no worry about this stuff, it just bugs and such,if you dont feel satisfied with the custom rom, you can always change back to samsung official, this phone is easy to change rom/firmware, you can upgrade downgrade sideways front back easily. this phone follow you not you follow the phone.

5. nombor 4 answer half of it. if you want to send to warranty, ALWAYS ALWAYS change back to official, if not, they can make cases out of it, example: your volume button broken, they can say, that because you flash unofficial firmware, that make your volume button broken, this is not cover by warranty, whistling.gif this thing can happen, eventhough i havent heard any of it yet biggrin.gif

6. erm... may i ask did you read post number 3 on the first page? cause if the explanation is not clear please tell me, i may change it for the better thumbup.gif
