Hi guys. Gonna get myself one Galaxy W today. May i know what should i do to it to make it faster and stuff? Is it advisable to root? And lastly, may i know what is COW Rom you guys were talking about? I'm new

Hello , new here. Got my galaxy W today and charged it for 8 hrs. But I find that my phone's battery drain like water flowing. I used for awhile wordy 87% left. Any idea why?

I use wifi for about 20 mins . Go market place download apps , then try out about 5 apps for about 5 mins. I used whatsapp along too. Use for about 30mins drain till 87% . Is it normal?

Btw, i did use packet data to try out for 5 mins or so.

I'm new here. So may i know whats screen on time?


Why you use so lil one??

I'm starting to worry about my battery . :/

Ohh . Okay . Now only i know . Thanks

Alright ! The shopkeeper told me to charge 8 hours when you're using it for the first time.

Display is 66% . I disabled alot of stuff. Animations i put to some animations only. Any diff?

I made it the lowest brigthness since i bought it

Advanced task killer must download ah?

Alright ! I removed it already thanks

Guys, when do you root your phone? Isn't it risky if you root it when you have warranty with samsung? And is it advisable to root our phones?

I heard you can underclock it to increase the battery life . So i'm kinda interested in that feature now . Not only that but also for the apps.

There's a tutorial in the first page in how to root . I'm still not sure how but gotta learn.

Wow guys. My battery was used for 4 h 17 MIN . Most of the time it is in idle state . I used like 10 mins to download apps and it dropped from 99% to 97 % . that was alright. Then it went idle for 3 hours straight and it drained 4% ! Last night it went idle for 8 hrs an it only drained 1%. Is this normal?

Plus, everytime i use advance task killer, I would minimize it and go back to the app to check if there are any other apps running. And it shows that i'm running gallery, whatsapp, google search, market,email, maps, and social hub . Any idea why? :confused:

Hi bro. Thanks for replying. I think i did not explain properly. Ps. Last night idle for 8 hours drain 1%. Today i idle only for 3 hrs but drain 4%. Is this normal when battery percentage is high?

Do i post both kernel and partial? Wifi off

Here you go

Btw, Wifi was off just now. I on it to download the app itself.

Hi. Thanks for the reply

I used till 76 percent ystd night. Then went to sleep till this morn

76 % - 75 %

Then this afternoon use cable to transfer stuff so i charge till 99% .
Came back and used it for 10 mins surfing

99% - 97

Then i took a nap . Did not use the phone so jst off screen for 3 hrs without nything running

97 - 93 %

I'm kinda paranoid as I'm still a newb. Need sifus to enlighten me

Guys, the amount of apps you have will affect ur battery life in sleep mode?

When the first time i charge my phone, the phone only drains 1% For 9 hrs when in sleep mode

Now, 4-5% for 9hrs in sleep mode. Just curious.

Alright. Thanks bro.

Hi guys ! I need special help from sifus. I'm gonna be adventurous and root my phone . I'm a first timer in android. Mind giving me instructions for noobs like me?

Do i have to backup any of my apps and contacts etc etc? If i want to unroot just get the file from that website and run it ? Thanks bro .

I've rooted it already ! I know it's just the beginning but what are roms? Are roms like firmware? I would want to try Cow's rom as i am interested in the battery life, killing off services and the RAM.

Downloading Nandroid to perform backup. Learning from this website http://www.androidpolice.com/2010/04/16/co...od-rom-manager/

Please correct me if i'm doing any mistakes. Thanks sifus.
