Merry Christmas to everyone smile.gif

Just spent 1 hour+ gaming on Real Racing 2 and from full battery down to 56%.

Still, 2 hours of gaming on a full charge is not that bad tongue.gif

Somthing to share about the video recording i've discovered:
1) Sometimes, the video images blurred and re-focus in the videos...is it capable of auto-focus during video mode?
2) The resolution plays a big part in the viewing angle...higher resolution (FULL HD) has the worst viewing angle. I suspect the phone simply crops up the image from the 4:3 viewing angle....kinda hard to explain this, but i think it has something to do with the image sensor size and the viewieng angle crops on it...
3) 1080p recording is pretty bad on the frame rates...very frequent, there are freeze frames and frame jumps.
4) 720p recording will get you constant 30fps and smooth video, with a better viewing angle than 1080p.

I say stick with 720p for best viewing angle and frame rates...the small image sensor in the camera...1080p is just a gimmick...

Does non-G users have the same issue?
*
Same on all accounts. 720p gives the widest FOV and the most stable frame rate..

Don't be disappointed, it is virtually the same phone. It can even do Custom ROM's and themes and be rooted + CWM5.

It seems the Avast is not really good at disguising itself. I can see it in my app drawer, in my Manage Applications, and I can even freeze it in Titanium Backup.

And to make it worse, either Avast or LBE (or both) are conflicting with GameCIH causing the phone to hang instantly upon opening GameCIH.

So I end up freezing both then running GameCIH and it loads fine.

CM 9 Experimental ICS build. Seems to have very few bugs and even those that are there are nothing major

Actually sound like siyah with less "tweakability".  tongue.gif

I do agree, most kernel are almost the same now.

Yeah, and all have no Bluetooth mice HID support...back on stock CF-KK5 and it seems to be just as smooth and consumes even less current than the Siyah kernel's.

Btw guys I think I wanna root my phone to gain super user access so that I can use Avast's Firewall program to control app activity.

Problem is that the instruction for rooting for G version sounds very technical and confusing sad.gif Or maybe I should seek services from someone to do it for me for a fee
*
It is easy to root. Just follow the method on the 1st page and it will take you less than 10 mins to root your phone. I have rooted both the G and non-g versions.

The exclamation mark in the triangle when charging the battery is just to let users know that either it is hot or that it is extremely weak. Seeing how it is nearly impossible to make it not boot because of heat, it can only be because of the low charge.

I also have this problem, and it ONLY happens EVERYTIME my battery is being charged from 0%. The phone will not come on and must be left for a few minutes to charge a little.

So, as a message to those having the problem, try letting your phone charge for 10 minutes before you try reinserting the battery and all...

Missing the bounce but the blue glow isn't as annoying as I thought it would be.
Liking 2.3.6 so far. Camera works well. Got sim display now on contacts. No problem connecting to PC and kies after update. No checkered flag when scrolling on stock browser. So far so good thumbup.gif

Nice package you have there. You might want to consider replacing your screen protector with a glossy one instead of the matte one because the cheap matte one causes grainyness, while the glossy one is perfectly clear.

Can anyone recommend me a clock widget that also shows alarm info? The only one I can find is Advanced Clock Widget, but that one shows the date like crap and the alarm time sometimes does not show.

I like the one in SPB where there is also a countdown to the alarm. Wonder why there is not a single other similar widget combo with a clock...

I believe the name in front of the model is the Network Provider that you are currently using. Mine shows Maxis GT-I9100. I am on Hotlink.

Latest Siyah kernel, 4 hours already drop 3%. Seems like 2.1b13 is still the most efficient with 1% across 3 hours or more...

USB port still cannot work? Try restarting your phone. If still cannot charge, check and make sure the problem is with the phone, not the charger. Try connecting your phone to the PC and try charging another phone with the charger.

That way you will know where the problem is.

You mean the non-g will restart itself on the latest firmware? Also what does ''the screen will show send by itself'' mean? The screen will randomly come on and show that message?

GTA 3 is still so buggy even after a few updates. Like the game will crash if you enter the vehicle you just exited, so must steal another one.

And cannot sprint right after loading the game or it will crash also. Sometimes cannot even take a certain road during a certain mission or it will crash...and tons more which I discovered because I am already one-quarter way though the game.

any brand recommended?...do sandisk have class10?...cant find any so i assume no?...if not wat brand reliable?..

Kingston and Sandisk are the best. Kingston has lifetime warranty while Sandisk is just a few years (try check their website). The read speeds are EXACTLY THE SAME REGARDLESS OF THE CLASS. In everyday use, the only aspect that people measure the speeds are like loading times in games and movies. So any class will do and you can stick with a Class 4 unless you transfer like 10GB's everyday.

I use a class 4 and it loads everything amazingly quickly. Avoid Transcend, my 8GB Transcend reads at 7MB/s while all my Kingstons read at 17+MB/s. I use kingston from my phones to my tablet to my DSLR. Not a single problem.

Has anyone tried Tegrak Overclock Ultimate on the G-version? That one can overclock both the CPU and GPU of the non-g even on stock kernel.

Those hoping to control the clock speeds of their CPU in the G can try it out. I have no idea if it works or not.
