Battery:

truth said, i never had a serious battery issue since Galnet 4.0, before it was not acceptable for me.

battery on 5.1 like it was on 4 and 4.1, is pretty usable and acceptable, coupled with a JVQ modem.

i can easily reach more than 24 hours by light to moderate phone use.

but it is well known that all miui and cm7 roms drain much more battery during use of the phone than the samsung roms.

in idle, battery can last for 2 days.

btw, i never did "Always do a clean install, even when you're upgrading the ROM!" like mentioned by Thierrz some posts above, never since 4.0 to 4.1 to 5.0 to 5.1

i hope this helped

cheers

If you read my post a few pages back you'll see why I hid the links from guests.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] :
If bandwidth is a problem why not ask people to mirror it? My mirror has more than enough bandwidth to serve a bucket load of downloads (300-400GB a month is not a problem).

I'm sure others here would be more than willing to put up some mirrors too. People can download it from a site close to them and verify the checksums with those posted on here and other forum.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] thierrz:
Lucky you! I, and more MIUI users I know, always had problems when we didn't do a clean install, that's why I recommend people to just do a clean install! :-)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lttldvl:
Because the bandwidth used per month is several times that, and that level of bandwidth isn't cheap to provide.

I even mirror it from my own hosting to help out you guys on here. But the issues over link spamming isn't due to you guys here.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] :
If the average size stays around ~125MB then with some overhead you could serve about 3000 downloads in a 400GB block of bandwidth.

Anyways, I will keep on mirroring them, and we'll see how much/little bandwidth it's going to use. I have some unmetered boxes I could use if it gets out of hand.

Thanks for the clarification though!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lttldvl:
No problems.

To give you a rough idea of how popular this is (I don't want to give away too much lol), v5 got around 50k downloads across galnets and my servers combined in the first hour alone.

I am on 5.1, and every thing seems to be going good except I am observing that some apps that i could download before cannot be downloaded now on market. It says that the device is not compatible with this application. Do you guys face this problem?

Specifically

pageonce money& bills or

Voxofon app

Can anybody here let me know if you are facing the same problem with these two apps?

Thanks

I use this cleaning script and it works.

I used to use these steps on CM7:

1. wipe dalvik and cache.

2. fix permissions.

3. run cleaning script.

4. flash a kernel.

5. reboot.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] saszseb:
I don't think there is need to do a full flashing for an upgrade.

I've never done it. The upgrade takes me 5 minutes and I don't have battery drain.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lttldvl:
You can do a fresh install each time you upgrade if you want. Just don't manually wipe anything as it will cause problems with the installer in the latest versions.

As for upgrading without flashing from fresh, just install from zip without wiping. The installer will wipe what it needs to.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] :
Well someone must be doing some sort of attack then. 50.000 downloads within one hour for a device that sold 10 million world wide means that if those 50.000 downloads are unique installs 1 out of 20 sgs's sold run a galnet custom firmware. And that's only for the first hour! Sounds more like someone is doing something nasty.

Just too curious..
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lttldvl:
It depends on the server hardware. If load balancing kicks in it'll slow everything down to try to cope.

As for video recording, I just did a 1 minute 30 second recording on 5.2 and it's absolutely flawless!

Battery life is better than before as well so far, but i'll report back on that tomorrow once the phone has had a chance to calibrate properly ;)

i have battery drain problem too. it was not bad in v4 and getting worse since v4.1 and now v5.1

i have 3g data and auto sync on. it drains about 10% in an hour. i just left it idle and screen off.

i have tried both stock kernel and glitch kernel with cleaning script before switching. also, i have done battery calibration. the draining problem still exists.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Funnnny:
As a long time user of MIUI Galnet, I'm very impressed with this ROM.

But, there's something that drive me away.

The things that makes android better than iOS is its openness. Without this, I rather use an iPhone.

MIUI has its disadvantages: not opensource, but it is fine if I can root, I can custom the way the OS works

And you came, remove the ability to custom the boot animation, added many useless thing in /system (whatsapp, Google+, seriously ? )

And you move away from XDA to your own hosting, it's fine but at least give the link in the 1st post.

Take this post as a suggestion, as with the openness, there's always room to improvement.

For the meantime, I go with MIUIAndroid

Yes, guess galnet fortgot to update the version information but you are now on 5.1;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dr.bahaeddin:
I'm on v5.1 but I have a huge battery drain. Last night I got sleep at %90, slept 5hours and then woke up and see %42. Then I charged battery, woke up at %100 then in an half hour dropped %10 totally doing nothing. I was on stock kernel at night and switched to glitch when I woke up with kernel cleaning script but it didn't stop draining. What can I do?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Sinotek:
Ok so, battery test results:

After 11 hours of phone just sitting on my desk with data on (Full reception btw, no signal issues so the phone didn't stress to find a signal or anything) my phone went from 100% (Which is actually 95-98%) to 32%.

That's not as bad as before, where it went from 100% to phone turned off 8 hours later at 0%.

I should note that I did not calibrate my battery at all. I just did it now, so I'll do another idle test. I never noticed that calibrating the battery helped, but who knows... maybe this will be that time.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lttldvl:
My usual setup is GPS on, data on, wifi off. As I said earlier in the thread, the battery drain at idle is accetpible at roughly 3% an hour. The drain kicks in when you start using the phone. Take the xda app, you can pretty much watch your battery drain when using it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] j0ck:
Hey guys,

I've flashed Galnet MIUI v1 yesterday at 11am. After normal usage (playing games for some minutes, whatsAPP, SMS, some phone calls with hands free device) my battery is NOW empty.

This means that my battery lasted 24h. That is good enough...

What I realize is that I lose 1% of battery when my screen is on for 2-4 minutes.

If the screen is off and I am playing some music the battery loss is only 1% in 10 minutes.

Okay, HERE COMES THE NOOB QUESTION (sorry for that), maybe you can provide me some links where I can read the basics:

- I live in Germany (Bavaria). I tried different modems since there are some modems which where not working properly (bad signal, or NO signal)

I have JV6 Modem atm and I have a very good signal now (almost perfect). Battery drain...I dont know. It is too early to say anything about this. Whats the difference between modems? (Noob question) Is there a better MODEM for GERMANY (BAVARIA)?

- I love making movies with my SGS. I know that the video function is still buggy but will it be the same as samsungs stock camera in the future? (I think I wont get an answer for that! :-) )
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] tackygr:
Many mixed results for battery life.I get exactly the same results with 7.7 and Galnet versions under the same conditions.I have made battery calibrations a few times but didnt help much.Battery stats are just stats kept in the phone on battery usage as far as i know,erasing it will just delete the usage history.Staying on a rom for more than a few days and making normal recharge cycles helps a bit.

Galnet,wifi not working no matter what i do( I m in Greece),flashed all the modems available,flashed kernels,restarted the router,tried static and dynamic ip but nothing.I would flash to froyo for a clean flash but i m expectin power downs these days cuz of strikes,so i wont risk it.Going back to 7.7 for now.

Also i flashed the SU provided in the post but TB isnt getting it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] cami sardinha:
The full paths are:

They are most certainly there in Galnet Miui v1.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Mortax:
Did you guy's noticed that 1.6.24 is out in China!? :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] phalanger:
Should be, but lets not stress Galnet more then needed, Im sure he's aware :)

For me, looking into the remaining issues like battery drain is more important then the latest weekly from china anyway.

And yes Im back on MIUI, I went to CM7 for a moment but standard Android is so ugly to me after being used to MIUI. Its almost no option to go back to anything else.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ogzon:
I agree with you..

Battery drain is really big problem and that should be first and most important thing to resolve..( in 25 minutes from 100% to 60% reading mails, using MSN and listening music..)

About MIUI - well same here.. No way I could go back now on stock, after using this great (beautiful/fast) rom..

Battery Drain

Hi All,

I'd like a few people to see if they are getting the same results as me.

If you do not want to read everything below, the short version is, when

the screen is powered off, the system_server actively consumes 40% ->80%

of CPU cycles regardless weather or not its Wifi / 3g or even in Flight Mode.

You'll need to install a terminal app on your phone or even better you can

install SSHDroid and SSH into your phone. Make sure your phone is awake

when you're doing it and then browse around the menus to try and generate

a bit of load (not too much).

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dakine:
If its that big of a hassle then just flash the MIUI official release, its clean and seemingly bug free imo. Unless galnet's version has an extra feature you really need. The MIUI.us version is nice too since it already has the English language pack applied but little or no other modifications.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dakine:
I would boot into recovery and wipe battery stats, if that still doesnt work try flashing a diffrent flavour of MIUI. I had that horrendous drain on 4.1, only thing that fixed it was wiping the phone and flashing a different rom.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] erwin71:

Try keeping on top of app killing as well by long pressing the home button.

I can't understand this drain issue people are having when it seems alot of members are getting 24 hours or more life.

I don't know, maybe xda members put more stress on their phones?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] beaver2233:
or the fact people use the phones differently....some people leave their phone on overnight with airplane mode on (there's 10+ hours there for the usage), others turn their phone off overnight (so they may get only 10hours of usage compared to 20hours if they were to leave it on in airplane mode), there are many variables and varies largely depending on the persons usage...there's no point in all these people complaining, unless there is a serious problem...many that are getting less usage is because they use there phone a lot and compare it to people that state they get 3 days worth...funny thing; is that person is missing the important fact that they had maybe 1 hour display on time...the rest standby. Any who that's my take on all this battery bull$h*t ;)

Adobe Flash video in browser

Hi,

I just changed over from a customized ROM mod from Samsung stock. The Adobe Flash video performance was great on this custom ROM - with the latest update of Flash 10.3, it can play 720p Flash video in the browser (NOT through youtube app) very well with only a few stutters.

I wanted to try out the MIUI ROM because something in the Samsung-based GB ROM give me a lot of problem with ONE webpage only - my ISP webmail login page - I blame this on the Samsung ROMs because the same seems to happen to my Galaxy Tab on GB.

I have a Nexus One which is on MIUI, and I notice continuous improvement of the Adobe Flash video played in the browser (NOT through youtube app) - in the past it can only play 360p in full screen, now with the latest Flash 10.3 update, it plays 480p in full screen perfectly.

Unfortunately, the i9000 on Galnet MIUI does the opposite - it can only play 360p smoothly in full screen. 480p already gives a lot of stutter and 720p is totally impossible.

OK maybe the Samsung stock GB ROMs have special codes to optimize their Hummingbird hardware, but I wonder how come the performance of the i9000 (with Hummingbird / SGX540 gpu) on MIUI is not as good as the Nexus One (with Snapdragon / Adreno 200 gpu which is suppose to be many times less powerful than the SGX540) on MIUI?

Does this mean the MIUI is better optimized for Qualcomm processors and not the Samsung processors?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Kel_Sceptic:
Got same problem, since moving to MIUI 5.1 I have a huge battery drain. Now recharging to full and after I'll do wipe battery stats after to see if there are any improvements.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Raulinho7:
Hi,

i also had sth similar (for the very first time since I am on MIUI)

i charged my phone with normal charger (not USB cable)

Before i went to sleep i had 90% when i woke up 8h later, i had 58%

wifi OFF, data OFF, auto sync OFF...

When i charge my phone with USB cable it takes much more time to charge battery but then i dont have drain.

I guess my phone doesnt like fast charging...

Anybody else noticed that?

EDIT: i charged my phone with USB cable this morning (from 50% to 100%)

after 1h on battery I still have...100% :)

I am on v5.1 (didnt make any changes, modem JVP)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] skyworxx:
For the last couple releases, I had horible battery life, but with 5.1, it is just great. Drain is less then 2% per hour in idle.

I did the following:

- I started all over, did a full system wipe (also internal sd), went back to froyo and flashed everything according to the tutorial.

- I also removed any homescreen weather and traffic widgets.

- flashed the neo11 kernel with bln (not sure this has any effect on battery lifetime)

- uv'ed my phone

I can only compare idle times, but with v4 I unplugged the phone in the morning, and 12 hours later i had only 30% left (almost pure idle during the day). Now, with v5.1 I have around 80% left.
