QUOTE(sany1424 @ Jun 19 2011, 08:33 PM) love this SGA, but the only ting i hate is the battery life.... any software to improve battery other than Task Killer?? I think the thing that makes it a battery eater is the always on data connection. You can try timeout3g to disconnect the connection after a period of time. Not too sure if it works. Seems like it doesn't disconnect.  I'm trying out this. http://hemorrdroids.net/battery-calibration/Currently at step 5. Not sure if it'll improve anything.

Guys and girls, mind sharing how long does your Ace lasts? A day? Two days? 10 hours? Mine only lasts around 10 to 12 hours  3G on all the time since I need push email... currently on Edge and data connection disconnects every time I lock the screen and with interval of 5 mins for email updates. Will report how long it'll lasts this time :pray:

QUOTE(Dannyl @ Jun 22 2011, 07:53 AM) 1 day. Charge it at the same time everyday. If play some games or surf more or use GPS, might not reach 1 day. Auto-update widgets like Facebook, GO Weather, etc, eat more battery. QUOTE(myworld122 @ Jun 22 2011, 12:40 PM) Same here, less than 1 day worth. i always charging my hp when im at my pc (using usb). daily usage include 3g/HSDPA for facebook, whatsapp, push email. Sigh,  it's THAT weak eh the battery life... Anyway, hopefully Gingerbreadman will magically make the battery life better...

Ace has Gorilla Screen rite? Is it worth it to get the extra protection?

QUOTE(gkl83 @ Jun 22 2011, 10:36 PM) why no? cheapest just RM8-10... if the screen scratched, ur wallet more hurt...  QUOTE(stupiak07 @ Jun 23 2011, 12:31 AM) just get it for extra protection, even though it is strong but it's will still break/chirped at certain force example, my sga glass has 2 tiny scrath that not very visible after dropped on stone Point taken  Anyway, I installed it on the first day I bought the phone

I noticed that my Avg Load is 6.28, 5.85, 5.47  Rather high I must say? Ok, maybe I played a game, but when I only use it for normal usage like email, Facebook, Market, the load is somewhere around 3.xx (still high no?) Could this be because of Samsung's ROM (a lot of background services maybe)? This post has been edited by Cyphereza: Jun 23 2011, 10:56 AM

QUOTE(normstar87 @ Jun 23 2011, 12:22 PM) the batt life is quite bad... im using it for 3+months alrdy... n the batt cant last only 8hours when using 3g... if jz moderate used of tweeting, fb n whatsapp 1day using 2g n wifi only) Same as mine (currenlty on Froyo)  Anyway, did anyone tried to reset to factory default after upgrading ROM? (my Omnia had to reset to factory default after flashing to a new ROM, dunno why, cause if I didn't, battery life will drain very quickly; 24 hours if I don't reset, somewhere around 2 days if I did  )

QUOTE(smokymcpot @ Jun 27 2011, 10:31 AM) Hey there people, my galaxy ace runs out of battery very fast la. Anything I should do to prolong it? Get Green Power Free app. It really helps if you need disconnection from Data Connection when phone is in stand-by.

Look at mine... I bought SGA on 17th June 2011... look at when my speed was throttled, 3 days hit 5GB... there must be something wrong somewhere with the phone...  that is before I installed Green Power battery saver and limited the connectivity to 2G. And look at the current usage with 2G connection and Green Power battery saver installed

QUOTE(6oLsh0i_6o0z3 @ Jul 8 2011, 11:44 PM) Hi to all the sifus here. Just bought the SGA and i'm new with this smartphone to be honest. I've just rooted my android using superoneclick and it was successful. There is superuser icon in my menu. The problem is i couldn't transfer my aps from internal storage to sd card. What could be the problem? Thanks in advance Have you downloaded App2SD and Move2SD from Market?
