[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Jar3112:
I'm using a2sd on ics final flashed over ks9 baseband. In addition i'm using slaidfastmod and framework mod (you will find it in development section). Lately ice cream Sunday Rom has been pulled by developer, so ATM is not available. Cyanogenmod RC0 should be fine as well, as it is its base (search for it in the forum).

This was on medium usage, with about 2-3 hrs of 3g internet browsing, Facebook, SMS, calls, Bluetooth and screen brightness pretty high.

3G is an Ace killer. Make it easier to turn on/off, so the battery lasts longer
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] bilaal098:
Using wifi saves more battery then using 3g. I've noticed it on my ace. My battery approx. Lasts me 1-2days. Using apps like juice defender helps battery last longer.

Click thanks if I helped
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Zwergi987:
You can also try battery calibration (available on the market)

This helps a bit I think.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] iroshan:
I dont think calibration helps with battery...

but juice defender really helps.

all you have to do anyway are,

1.reduce brightness to lowest.

2.Switch to 2g when you don't use data

3.switch off data, gps

4.disable sync and background data.

you can enable those when you want to use.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Prawesome:
Battery calibration deletes your battery stats giving you more accurate battery statuses after you have switched roms.Switch off GPS and mobile data when not in use.Theres not much to do about this :(
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] pahan_88:
Nope I don't think link2sd causes that kind of a problem.. I'm using link2sd in infinity rom and with music playing for more than 3 hours and with heavy wifi and 3g usage I used for around 8 hours.. And it's pretty good.. Also I have overclocked upto 902MHz on performance governor.. Try some tweaks and calibrate the battery properly.. :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] sarayuprasad:
I think Overclocking drains battery very quickly. Overclocking makes CPU & GPU very hot. And as you all know, loss of energy due to heat.

What can be the problem & how can it be fixed w/o going to sprint?

Definitely a hardware issue. If you have TEP then it should be free to fix and 35 if not (bill the teacher lol). Take it to a sprint repair center.

Are there any bubbles on the screen? I'm trying to figure out if ur teacher dropped the phone and didn't tell u, or if they got any liquid in the phone. Because that sounds like a screen bleeding problem.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Since I'm in a nearly all girls semi-strict high school we could get suspensed or kicked out for not obeying the teachers(men are treated in my school like a black man in the 40s no rights at all) . And I'm thinking the teacher put pressure on the screen when he took it away from my friend, I seen him put it in his pocket with other people phones. When I approached him about it he denied it, which I knew he would do.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
There's no bubbles it's just the color is so off
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidmaster1:
ok...yes, the screen has a bleeding problem. it's from the inner part of the screen. he put to much pressure on it. it's like when you press your finger on a computer screen and you get that funny discolorization... thats what happened. can you see the normal stuff on the screen though? or is there to much color on it?

this is a slight hardware problem that is sometimes fixable.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
yea it's a bleeding problem. i can still see the screen though, i'ma take it to sprint on Sunday. I tried odining to see will that do anything, but it didn't :(

Hello people, just wondering if there is any App that a designed part of size of the microSD and simulate that's internal memory, something like that cause the real thing is that I am getting without free space on my internal memory....

I have moved several app to SD card but this is not enough it seems..

any idea?

thanks

BR,

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] G_W_C:
This is a common and well know issue on desire phones due the limited internal space memory... the only way to solve it (but you still will have a "limited" device) is the procedure which starts from rooting the device and procede thru several steps... unlocking it, installing a custom recovery, installing a cooked rom... then optimizing the whole system.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efan3719:
you can install an app called app sd to make sure you have all the movable apps moved. also going through and clearing the cache and or data in some apps can free up MBs of space.

if that is still not enough i would suggest rooting which would allow you to delete some of the system apps you dont need.

still not enough? then go full blown and get a custom rom going. there is a whole section of xda devoted to it. take a look. and good luck.

Please let me know your success rates. Thus far, a few people have sent me messages and emails stating that this patch works great on this device.

As such, I'm thinking it would be good to provide this officially for this device.

Bad.

Darn. On stock ROM it made my GPS completely broken, sorry derek.

I had been having slow GPS anyway, like 40+ seconds for first lock and 20+ for warm lock, and this makes it so that it locks on to aGPS data, which actually makes no sense.

Basically, when going into GPS status, 23 sat's seen but no sat's are getting used and it's getting a lock. Apparently somewhere in Texas. Wireless network Location is turned off also.

Would anyone know why? Do I have a faulty Skyrocket? :(

REALLY hoped this would fix my GPS. So far the only GPS that works better than stock is Mod1441's NexusM0d ATT rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] crypted:
Did you read the Notes Section? Following from the user above, make sure you actually have the patch in place.

Lastly, if you're being shown far away from your real location, it isn't GPS at all. That means your phone is relying on tower-based locations. There are times towers have their own location incorrectly programmed. In OKC, there is a tower that puts me in New York when I don't allow GPS to work.

Why would GPS not be working? You either have it disabled in Settings somewhere (doubt it!) OR your ROM is messed up and totally ignores GPS data. Notes Section discusses some ROM issues that have been going on with bad builds.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ljbrenes:
Holy GPS Batman! I flashed the google specific patch in cwm and now my phone locks into my position in like 2 seconds. Also, the accuracy is up to 3 meters, which I have never seen before in my phone, the best I have ever seen is 9.

So the patch has greatly improved the gps in my phone.

Installed into an international SGS2 and while sitting at my desk in the middle of an office where I can see a tiny amount of sky, it's flicking on & off with anywhere from 1-4 satellites, it may just be the time of day but I've never seen it pick up any before.

The GPS on the SGS2 generally seems to be pretty good but can sometimes take half a minute or so to get a good lock. There's a known problem area just around the corner from here which has a good view of the sky but always locates incorrectly, I'll try it down there and see how it goes.

I'm over in New Zealand so anything north-America specific will be right out the window. I'm running a "standard" version of the KL3 leak ROM and SiyahKernel 2.6.7. I don't use CM7 as they don't seem to be able to get bluetooth working well enough for my use.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] crypted:
Nothing here is US or North America specific. It's designed for global use. If you do have an issue with no satellites in the viewing area, a software patch cannot fix that. But if there is an issue software wise that can help boost your GPS performance, this should be right up the alley.

Consider trying without a case, too.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kr3g3r:
just tried out the google build...........and now it has me set about a 9 hour drive away in a different province!!!! wtf?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] crypted:
That would mean that your phone is not using aGPS. Rather, it's finding your location from your tower or other source.

Is this issue in Google Maps and/or in GPS Status?

What were your issues before using this patch?

What ROM are you using?

Did you check the build.prop and other portions of the Notes Section?

Are you using any other GPS software? Such as GPS FIX, GPS ESSENTIALS, etc..?

Assuming the response to the above questions would check out, we have two options for seeing if we can get the phone to like aGPS data:

Can you try the Google Build Alternate and report back as well?

Last, but not least, comment out the SUPL part of the gps.conf if you're up for it. Or, I can send you one with it commented out already. SUPL data might be supplied poorly because its finding you somewhere else on the network than where you really are.

I'm sure we can get it figured out. ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] knightnz:
I'm only using a thin Casemate "barely there" case which thankfully seems to make no difference to reception. Unfortunately it doesn't fit into the OEM car-dock with it on though, no biggy.

Tried it outside, got a lock on 9 satellites in around 30 seconds (occassionally 10 visible), accurate to 5m, so certainly seems to be compatible with the "standard" SGS2 and the 2.3.6-based KL3 ROM. It'll be interesting to see how much difference it makes when I've got it in the car.

Nice work, thanks!

Any benefit to your bandwidth or detriment to functionality if I set it to use a local NTP server?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] crypted:
Good to hear. Listen, send me the Android Development forum link for your specific device and I'll do a thread there. Let me know how the test goes.

You can change the NTP servers. However, I you shouldn't see much benefit if any. My pool is globally situated with very rapid response times to many cellular networks scattered all over. We did some intensive testing and do so randomly still.
