I seem to still be having the damn GPS problem. The GPS is used for a few seconds when I turn on the phone, then goes off. I checked my battery usage and it shows the GPS was coming on and turning off by itself while I was sleeping last night. Already frozen Maps and what not.
Is there any app where I can control what is allowed to access the phone location?

QUOTE(Luwk @ Oct 23 2011, 12:15 PM) Any apps for unrooted phone to monitor the RAM ? I found out that my phone always running around 450MB of ram ... even after clear memory = = Use this : https://market.android.com/details?id=com.g...astreboot&hl=envery good and does not require root. Put the widget on your home screen and whenever you want more RAM, click it. Mine frees up more than 100MB when I use it Ohh, monitoring RAM can use Advanced Task Killer

QUOTE(TheLaptopDudeGuy @ Oct 23 2011, 07:16 PM) Im thinking his definition of hot isnt same as our definition of hot. My s2 frens say their device get hot easily,since they coming from nokia. I have the N97 Mini, and I can say for sure that both phones run at the same temperatures after heavy use. One afternoon, I charged my N97 full and then browsed on wifi until it died. Lasted 3 hours and the metal back cover was very hot. The temperature of my N97 does not really rise when gaming, just browsing the internet depletes the battery crazy fast. Back to the topic: My CheckROM seems to be about the same on my battery as my KI3. Down to 15% after screen on for 3 hours and gaming for at least 30 mins, and I can say that the screen was on medium to high brightness most of the time. And this is with GPS coming on by itself last night

QUOTE(antt00 @ Oct 23 2011, 10:02 PM) Yeah the download points to the one on checkrom. So its the same one la. Use the latest speedmod 2-8 or just stick to the CF kernel that come with the rom. By the way, speedmod does not support app protector / security apps.
I switched from the CF to speedmod, then found out that voltage control does not work, then switched to siyah 2.1b9, and whole day no problem so far, running at 100 -1200 Any advantage of speedmod over siyah? This post has been edited by ashwin1234: Oct 23 2011, 10:32 PM

QUOTE(teepee @ Oct 23 2011, 10:48 PM) i just checked mine too. also from digi. arghhh. that guy didnt touch the phone at all during purchase, only took out to unseal & give me. surely didnt register for me too. totally forgot to ask him to do all these for me. sigh There is no real need to register warranty, as long as you still keep the original receipt, then everything is OK. Even my lens of my DSLR, just showed receipt and they fixed it up. Only stuff like extended warranty for laptops need to register I think...Also, I think they see how many phones have been sold by the warranty registration, otherwise the phones are considered shipped to them, not sold yet, then when you register it, then they know that they just sold 1 more unit... Please correct me if I am wrong.

Any recommendations?

I need help. On CheckROM, i installed the ICS theme. it replaced my icon and bootscreen and all, but I hate the icon pack. Even when I flash back my stock samsung theme, the icons still stay. Is there any way to reset it?

QUOTE(antt00 @ Oct 24 2011, 01:28 PM) Which icons are remaining? from what I can see, the camera, messaging, internet, contacts, Also, I noticed that the Siyah 2.1b9 uses CWM5, which the KitchenPro does not support. SO I used the app to download the theme then went into CWM to flash it. My bootscreen is now the one from the ICS theme. Do you think that flashing back the other animation will switch the icons?

@ antt00, thanks for the icon tip. Now I have it all back to normal before experimenting with the ICS theme.
I think I need to re-register my phone with Dive. How do I do that again? I remember must press menu somewhere under settings. Just cannot remember where.
Thanks

QUOTE(antt00 @ Oct 25 2011, 02:01 PM) Depends on your usage. But normal use I believe everyday have to charge at least once. Its a 4.3in screen with 1.2mhz dual core so its gonna suck the batt fast. I believe you meant 1.2GHz, not MHz
