Well I tried JV5 and it`s bad for me, barely 4 sats in GPS Test, 2900metre lock in Gmap and 1 sat in Angry GPS, so its not for me, going back to JPG, seems to work well with JVQ from what I can remember.

I just turned on GPS Test there. I'm inside. 9 sats in view and 9 in use. 15 feet accuracy. Thats with JV5. If I start to have any trouble with that I'll try JPG.

Ya. JVQ. In Mayo.

Just flashed Semaphore JVQ 1.3.1 Kernel.
Has VooDoo sound v10 (so does DC 2.9), but also allows for custom boot animations whereas DC 2.9 doesn't. The stock Galaxy S boot up was getting on my nerves

Heroditas

Finally upgraded to Gingerbread via Kies a few minutes ago.
Very happy so far. It's a massive improvement over Froyo.

lol yeah ya can turn her off in the text to speech settings its called driving mode......BUT ive no way to get your woman off from the phone reboot i also get the "new message arrived" bit at boot up i presumed it was from the rooting of the phone its like that ever since i first started rootin



EDIT: turning off the driving mode has seem to stop her on the start up too

i saw that thanks....

ok it seems me phone is stuck in a ****ing boot loop after flashing dark core 2.6 with the kernal flasher any idea's why

EDIT i flatched back to 2.2 and seems ok there noe thanks **** thought i was goin to have to reinstall something and that would of seriously furrowed me eyebrows

I`ve never had a problem using SGS Kernel flasher, what where you on prior to flashing it?

moggser

i was on dark core 2.2 now i went back to it via odin...just previously five mins before i did the kernal flasher i updated the modem to jv5 would that of messed it up

No. That wouldn't have messed it up. I'm on JV5 modem and never had an issue flashing any kernel.
I went from DC 2.9 yesterday to Semaphore kernel with SGS Kernel flasher and had no issue. Previoulsy I updated DC kernels with SGS flasher and it always went smoothly.

moggser

i wonder what caused it so....any other cool things i might need

Evening all.

It's been a great weekend...Just got a present of a Galaxy S on Meteor (2.2, Standard rom XXJPP ) and am off to France tomorrow. Being a new to the whole smartphone business, a mate recommended to come here for some advice. Found this thread and worked my way through the first 20 pages or so. As advised, I've decided against rooting as I'm not really up to speed, and Custom ROMs are a different language for the moment.

As I'm kinda running short of time, I just wanted to ask, I wanted to use the GPS in France. I believe that you need to have a data connection on all the time? Is there an app that allows you to download the maps prior to travel, and therefore not need to use the data connection please? ( I'm a cheapskate ). Also, any recommendations as to what network to use over there?

Looking forward to getting through the rest of the thread when I get back

Thanks, and sorry for the probably very basic questions....

I have read that Google Maps introduced a recent update that allows for offline caching of Maps. Search "Google Maps Android Offline". I didn't pay much attention - I think it downloads data for 10-15 miles around your location so it seems limited. Plus it doesn't do directions in offline mode merely acts as a static map.

Secondly, I think you should be checking meteors terms and costs of data.
If the data is not too expensive that may be a better option.

From meteor forum on May 5
"Hi all
Just heard that data roaming rate in the EU will be reduced to 99c per MB in the next 2 weeks. Good news!

Thanks

Squeeonline

99c/Mb = >€1000/gb

There should really be greater regulations on these things.

I remember when vodafone were charging 2c/kb (not Mb) so it meant that 1Mb cost €20. Competition ftw though.

Maybe I'm the only one who didn't know this but in case I'm not here ye go:

If you hold your finger over the notification bar and slide it left or right you can decrease/increase the brightness.
Auto Brightness must be turned off for this to work.

Nice feature that I only discovered a few minutes ago.................

Few months now, I usually wait a few days and keep a release behind everybody just in case bugs crop up.
Am on Version 19 now with the latest glitch kernel. I know they don't matter but my quadrant score last night got a personal best of 3020!
Overclocked to 1.4ghz and undervolted. so flying along now!

Just ran two more there now 2655 for the first. an the second 3055!!!

Does this overclocking give much of a performance boost?
Whats undervolting for? Is it to increase battery life? And do you notice a difference?
Are either of these practices harmful to the phone?
I am currently on Ficeto's JVQ with Semaphore Kernel and that will allow me to overclock to 1.2ghz. Don't know much about overclocking/undervolting though.

Ste-

If you overclock too much you can fry your phone.
Overclocking afaik will give more battery life. From my inital test yesterdat I have been getting more battery life. Just relaised yesterday I hadn't been overclocking correctly. And had used the wrong kernel so it was rebooting about once or twice each day. All sorted now.
18 hours with medium usage still 67% left, normally would be lower than that.

If you go to 1.2ghz you won't do much damage.
Give it a go and don't set it at boot see how you get on, then if it's stable set it at boot and see how it gets on.
I use cpuspy and pimp my cpu. The first will show how much Mhz your phone uses and for how long. Can be useful to find out if an app is hogging the cpu or if you are truly going to deep sleep to save battery.

OC usually can be a little heavy on the battery, where as UV is the battery saver.

I have`nt done either in a while, but when I did I was on Damian`s GTO and had OC mine to 1.2 and UV to 75/100, always varied a little.

OC to 1.2 is usually ok, but all phone`s/chips are different and if your trying out OC, start out in steps from low to high, stay on the lowest for a while, try everything and if you`ve no freezes or reboots, then go to the next step.

UV is safe AFAIK, again same principal applies, go down in steps, when you start to see problems just go back one step.

I`m on the verge of flashing something on my yolk I have`nt flashed anything in yonks, so far MIUI seems to have a few more little "bugs" and what not, where as Insanity CM seems to be coming along nicely, I was going in the MIUI direction but now I`m going the other way after tha last few reads....lol

I`m liking it a lot, I had no idea what it would be like, there`s no doubt it`s faster than any Sammy ROM I`ve seen.

I just hope the battery picks up a little after a few days.

The themes are mad easy to do, to many of the feckers to choose from.

Nope HSDPA is a faster version of 3G, will run the battery down quicker tho.

Glitch V11LL I had ML but it kept restarting then I rea dit's for those uncommon chips.

Should give it a go.

Is that the one on the second post on XDA?

CM7_SGS_Glitch-kernel_20110606_r1_update?

Or are there more somewhere?

Faster than JVQ?

I've noticed something weird in the last couple of days .... Google Maps seems to be eating the battery since I upgraded to Gingerbread.
I charged the phone this morning and unplugged it at 9am. I've barely touched it since then and the battery is down to 60%.
Maps has used 29% of that total
Display 17%
Wi-fi 17%
Standby 15%
Idle 5%
Android System 5%
Android OS 4%
The rest..... 8%

What the heck is causing Google Maps to keep starting up and eating the battery? Am I missing something here or is this a constant feature of Gingerbread?

I've gone into Apps -> Running Services -> and forced it to stop there.
However, will this fix the issue or is it likely to start up again?
Sorry if this question has been asked ages ago but I'm only a recent upgrader to Gingerbread.

I`m sorry to say man but YES, by far, I have`nt seen one but of lag and I`ve been playing with it for ages now, with all me apps in there, even with all animations on its still fast as ****.

You could use Titties to freeze it, have you got some weather app or something like that going as a widget?

Does anyone use Audio Manager Pro with CM23, every time I press on the widget all the volume levels mute, it never did that before?
Also alerts and ringer volume sliders are locked, again never before.

OK, I'm not on Insanity anymore (0.7.1 was the last one I flashed) so I can't argue with you, only to say that I find it very hard to believe that insanity is 'by far' faster than JVQ.
I'm on JVQ Odexed for probably 2 weeks now and don't have any lag whatsoever. A screen/app can only open up so fast and any screen I switch to or app I open does so instantly. There is no lag.
Then again I don't use any animations and only have 70 user apps. Maybe thats why I see no lag.

And why are there so many Insanity updates? Are they all bug fixes or what?

One word. Latitude. I bet that you're signed into Latitude? See if you are, and if you are then sign out. I had the same issue with Maps before and it turns out I was signed into Latitude and that's what was causing the drain.
If it's not that then I don't know any other reason.

I never bother reading the change logs, its all Irish to me, lol.

I`ve 127 apps, don`t ask me why, lol, but I find that if you go to menu/settings/applications/manage applications and if they all load up instantly, that`s fast, press beside it all as well, I find its the biggest section to be loaded up, it was`nt like that on JVAnything, always took a second or three.

LMFAO, bugs no CM is all new to me, most of the time its just a case of reinstalling the app or moving it to the phone.

Yeah its 23, again all I had to do was move the app to the phone, all sorted now, not quite finished with it.
The themes man are mad, no CWM, just an apk, done in 5 seconds, maybe 4, lol.
