congratz on v13!! ... so fast page 3!! .. i only slept for hrs and woke up coz too hungry .. hahaha

that is normal, no need so paranoid about it ... the 1st 5% usually discharges quickly, then it will drain slowly, this is related to charging being cut off when battery level reaches 100% .. will charge back below 95%, this is a accurate method of preserving the battery to its optimal usage ...

yeap he is

depends on which darky u r coming from, i was in darky v8, used doc no-wipe v9.1.3 .. then upgraded to doc v9.1.4 .. no problem at all, but gonna try using the wipe version when doc release a new version ... but of course, if u r new without much debugging skills, it is already better to follow freakfinger's recommendation.

note: 'u' is directed to 'ali' ..

i have repeated many many times .. its normal and its the correct accurate way to display ur battery status ....
when ur phone get charged to 100%, power is cut off and phone will use battery then it will recharges when the battery level drop below 95% ... this is a way to optimize li-ion batteries so that it will last longer ... there is an article regarding this back in v10 ... if u r hardworking then check that article out .. maybe TS can post this in front page? i seems to have explained over 6times now ...

wasnt me who post it .. not sure who was it though, but i am very well sure that article exist .. haha

oh .. this one requires asia firmware then ... my bad

Happy Chinese New Year guys!! ... all the best to everyone

1. since u r in msia, just choose XME
2. I would suggest asia modems, make sure its DXJPA or DXJPB, both with the 'DX-' in front... if memory serves right, there is an australian modem of JPA too ...
3. MMS AOSP is mms of the original android ... where the other is wat u see now before flashing, interface stuff is different .. hard to explain, but i stick to samsung default ..
4. Z4 control is for UV/OC, not recommended to touch but u can still play around with it though .... damian tweak is just like SGS Toll or SGS Toolbox

wonder if anyone met this problem before ... was playing Tank Hero, then the screen just stuck there, both menu and back touch button lit up and phone went totally not responsive ...
had no choice but to take off the cover and remove battery ... my battery was manufactured in August 2010 .. no tempted to do the gps fix ...

reporting back from gps hardware fix .. it was super easy, but shit happens and sadly i broke the antenna ... damn emo now ...

it was seriously so easy, till it made me curious and i tried to pry the down part of it end up whole thing came off ... opening the cover was relatively easy, search for rectangular holes on the side and put in a small flat screw driver then slowly pry it open, each sides consist of 2+ holes .. do it under a table light, the easiest hole to spot is beside the volume rocket, it is hidden below the chrome part ..

i am now hoping if anyone here familiar with electronics, is there any conductive glue so that i can just glue it back or the only way is by soldering? now living without gps, lucky still got data plan for google map ...

just wanna let everyone know and reassure that the GPS Hardware Fix is super duper easy! .. follow the instructions from the link posted on 1st page and u r all done ... IT IS SERIOUSLY VERY EASY!
my warranty sticker wasnt on the screws so it is easy for me ... Just dont be like me, being too skeptical about it being too easy and went overboard, just consulted my electronic engineering friend and since my whole chrome antenna is still afix i can just stick it back onto the board with super glue!! ...

it can use both GPS and data plan, by using both together it will become A-GPS which locks on faster due to using network satellites to determine ur location ...
no worries, it can be used with just GPS alone ... since i dont have my gps antenna now, i would need to use data plan to try get a lock and check where i am when i go sightseeing ...

@KH Cheah, currently searching for some solutions ... no $$ to get external gps receiver

luckily in my case, the whole piece of chrome antenna came off from the board ... its not broken into 2 piece so i think still can save, hopefully ... and i am not gonna solder it, havent touch solder since ages ago back in secondary ...

gonna try out using super glue, if cant then i will have to send it all the way back m'sia ... OMG!

btw, i quoted a link about the battery info back in previous page

u will surely laugh at my idiotic action .. hahaha
the gap was seriously flat, so i widen it easily ... after that i was like, eh! so this is it? not challenging at all .. so i went to have a look at the screenshot from xda, and i was like y the screenshot's base is higher then mine ... so i again used the flat head screw driver and tried to pry the bottom base higher, then pop the whole thing came off ..
it was as easy as A B C but things get messy when u add in 10 20 30 into the sequence ...
lesson for the day, some things are meant to be followed as instructed..
gonna get super glue later when i wake up .. good night pplz! .. i will be back when most r asleep ..

glued back the chrome antenna back into its place ....
super glue here is different from m'sia, its not those thick liquid form but much more 'watery' .. now its back in it's place and cant trace at all ..

hopefully it works .. wanna do a fresh rom install at the same time but problem now is i cant access to xda forums ... anyone got doc's kitchen link?
found it: http://romkitchen.org/ .. gonna cook something fresh .. hehehe

i thought of that too, but it dries up insanely fast and when i tested it on some plastic and stoneware ... it seriously glue up damn strong ...
it also mention on the panel that can be used on metal too .. so hopefully it works, becoz i dont wan to send my phone back to msia for warranty ..

satu kali get everything done .. then will head out for gym, will test it during my walk to the sports park and hope i dont get blown off by the wind ...
currently still restoring backups ..

i am in UK ... wind is blowing 18miles/hr above sky, so it would be roughly 3 to 8mph on land ... even if i hold on tight, i scared i am the one who get blown off ..
the wind is so strong u can hear those so called 'ghost' sound ..

He is in far far away kingdom la ... i am at far far away land from msia ...

sry was busy restoring my phone ... z4root, dont think i have it since i straight use speedmod kernel ..

@ CrossX, silentser or those who did the hardware gps fix ... how long does it take to lock for the first time after the fix? did u use a cover or just bare phone? lastly, which app u used to test? gps test or status? thanks in advance

i think i am now quite pro at striping my phone naked .. LOL ... everything works fine other than current gps situation ...

chinese input? ... just go on market search for Google Pinyin ... been using and liking it over the default chinese input ..
