QUOTE(Mooneyes @ Jan 30 2012, 11:54 AM) Getting more n more frustrated with my battery life..fully charged 10 pm last night now left 40%..with almost no usage..just a few minutes on wifi n checking the clock I think your phone battery draining drastically because of wakeclocks. Download BetterBatteryStats and check out what's eating your battery up.

QUOTE(sut99 @ Jan 30 2012, 12:03 AM) Hi, noob here. just got my galaxy w three days ago. noticed something wrong with the wifi connection. wifi connection is relatively weak even with the wireless AP right in the same room as i am and drops intermittently. googled everywhere and browsed thru this forum for solutions. i've tried... - wifi fixer app - set to static IP address - manually set DNS - change to WEP - tried public wifi hotspots but still can't resolve it. it comes with a factory 2.3.6 . anyone facing the same problem? should i be sending it for warranty claim? try hard reset and voila!

I used to have the same problem myself. You using third party lock screen is it? Have you updated your device to 2.3.6? Because once updating it to 2.3.6, my problem was solved.

My previous phone Samsung Wave, can set the phone alarm on while it is off... but not on Galaxy W... or S2... there's no way. when android phone has been switched off, it means that it's completely off. alternatively, just set your phone to flight mode if you want to save battery while sleeping
