JV9 working well for me - Galaxy S I9000 General

Since coming from JVO I've noticed that:
Good
In the browser about:useragent works again.
No AndroidOS bug (so far)
Speed is good
Bad
Browser scrolling ('feature') of two pages at a time still present
Shut down sound still doesn't play

Have you tried playing any 3d games to test see if the android os battery drain bug is still present? Apparently most gameloft games, cordy and bonsai blast are known to cause it

I played the Polarbit game Raging Thunder 2 yesterday for an hour. That used to cause the battery drain, but it doesn't anymore.

Just finished playing Asphalt 5 for 20 minutes.
No battery drain.

hi, what region is this jv9 for?
Is it XEU??

JV9 has so far worked exceeding well for me, too! This, coming from JVK modem, on CM7...

Hey, isn't BUJV9 UK branded Vodafone firmware? I would like to know if the firmware has any Vodafone branding or apps if I install this firmware.
Thanks.

Its vodafone. The only added app i could see is a '360 update' app, for OTA updates i think. Easy enough to remove. And no branding. I installed Brotuck's rom on top anyway.

No Android OS bug you say.. I might have to check it out!

I'm curious did you flash the KC1 modem on top of JV9? If yes, how are you finding the reception?

hm interesting..
I might try to flash it tonight.
Can I still use CF-root JVO for this firmware too?
Please share your experience with android OS battery drain!
I would like to make sure this bug is gone before I flash it

Like has been said, the only 'branding' is a Vodafone 360 app.
I'm using the phone heavily and getting at least 16 hours out of it.
Gaming, GPS, WiFi and listening to music over Bluetooth. No battery drain as yet.
The one thing I'm doing different from when I was on JVO is that the phone is unrooted.
I'll root soon and see if any issues pop up.

Ok...I had left my phone on the table for about 20 minutes. Wifi was activated, but screen was off.
Looked at battery stats and saw that Android OS was on 29% where it had previously been 4% earlier in the day.
The last apps I had run were music player (over Bluetooth), and MyTracks.
Seems it's not quite fixed, but it seems better than JVO.

Was just about to install it and give it a try but I guess I'll wait a while longer until Samsung or someone can fix the battery drain issue. Thanks for testing and letting us know

Which locales are included in this firmware?
Is the browser finally fixed?

I have never had good success with battery life with the KC1 modem, i use JVE and the trick to activate the 850 band. Whatever i do though, i cant activate it on JV3 modem, so i stick with JVE. Reception and voice quality is good.
I haven't encountered the android OS bug myself, but i'm working from a very clean fresh phone.

KC1 works well if the reception is poor and you have to use other network's signal and not Bell's. I've had JVO on 850 come up as network not available in locations KC1 had no problem connecting in. And if you're like me skiing or hiking in the backcountry, not having a signal is an option not worth having.
Good informative thread, by the way.

Browser scrolling is still only a few pages at a time and not end to end scrolling like Froyo.
Android OS issue I had may have been due to leaving WiFi selected because it hasn't happened again in normal phone use.
Battery life is generally good.

Thanks.

[Phone] i9088ZNKP1

i9088 is the China Unicom version of Galaxy S and one of the closest relatives to Captivate.
They share same appearance and major internal hardware.
(minor exceptions: FM included, reverted compass)
This phone comes with the newest i9088 2.2.1 ROM ZNKP1 (Yes it's 2.2.1. AT&T sucks on ROM).
Tested myself, works with JPY (Darky 7.5) on 850 band, HSUPA support. Haven't tested GPS yet.
Flash with Odin.
Anyone wanna try this?

CWM flashable version, thanks to existz:

I literally just flashed Cog 3.01 and Firebird 2.. I'm still feeling out the modem on this. I'll try it as soon as possible. Someone else try it and let us know!
I'll try this one out
I'm running Adams Firefly beta Armani Rom and firebird 2 Kernel. I'll let you know how it goes tomorrow with gps.
it'll be even better if you can post the ROM here, so we can have a crack out of it
Yeah.. We want that ROM!
Heres a CWM version if anyone wants it..
Sweet, I'll give this a try...
Voice sounds good, GPS is Average with locking it seems (Not sure about tracking), Data speeds down seems where it should be, upload speeds for me are above average by a few 100KB/S. Battery....not really sure I was actually losing battery % by having it plugged into my computer using it with wifi/GPS/BT all off and the screen at 0% brightness.....not sure if that's the modem with massive drain or my battery is just calibrating or something.
*Edit*
Yea, it's just my battery being stupid. So Battery with this is still up in the air.
you might wanna add a link to your ROM thread here, or ask a mod to merge these 2.

Using with Speedmod K12M, and I got literally 0% drain over 8hrs idel. So far this is one of the best, if not the best modem ive tried. I was using JK3 and switched back and forth with JK4, but this is giving me way better results. Yesterday I done a few test with K12M and JK3, (posted in Hardcores thread) i managed to get 7hrs with 67% left with pretty moderate use, used the phone like I would any other day, Ill do the same with this modem and post my results after 7-8hrs..but like I said, so far this thing is rocking!

EF02 Bug Thread

Doesn't look like there's one of these yet, so I'll start.
-Potential speed issues
-SOME slow rotation issues - Mine is working fine, YMMV
-Can't make up its mind if it wants to be on the EF02 or EF10 modem
-Battery Meter something something (can't duplicate)
-Battery life blows (YMMV) - I've uninstalled several Samsung apps and disabled logging (*#9900#) and I'm getting half-decent life - I charge throughout the day but I'd say it's comparable to previous Froyo builds
-Hardware keyboard still sucks, maybe harder
-Touch screen sensitivity - I'm not experiencing this, but YMMV. I've found sometimes using crappy cables causes weird touch screen issues.
-Various and sundry GPS complaints (I'm using the EF10 modem, not having any problems so far)
-USB connects and disconnects repeatedly when attached to computer, charging, playing media (at least, that seems to cause it on mine)
Begin griping.

Is anyone else getting crap 3g speeds? I was getting 1.5mbps on ee03 in the same spot yesterday and now I'm getting 500kbps. Might have something to do with the weather though.

After I entered my username/password/server and click next, BOOM, force close. It's pretty funny, as I was setting up, I got a gMail message - and when that hit, that's when I got my first FC.

Both my 3G and 4G are a bit slow, 4g is half of what it was this morning, but it seems to be normal mid-day drag in my dense urban hellhole.
Someone in the other EF02 thread said they updated their firmware and it changed the modem to EF10. Maybe that'll help the speeds.

I have also many problems with signal in places where i hadn`t before . And I'm from SPAIN with 4.0.2.A.0.42, even recommended to put it in airplane mode

Is this doomkernel faulty? Im using doom kernel
I should note I use LT15a, you should state your model. I'm using doomkernel v15 with no issue, stock ROM otherwise.
I got problem with my Neo too since I update to .42. Not the biggest issue but I notice in the battery graph much more time without a signal than before. Stock ROM and Kernel here.
thats what i say.
anybody has the same problem
I dont know if its same as you guys but my bars are always fulklk cause I have very good signal in my area but if I go battery usage and click on the graph it shows my signal as orangy colour which means signal is crap. Normally its always green. I only noticied this since .42
Exactly the same men
Yes i'm also facing the same issue of signal drop and reception getting refreshed every time after update. Since i'm on 3G 24/7 I have also noticed that the phone gets bit heated up every time in standby also causing the battery drain fast.
Try the .368 baseband (-36) with the latest firmware. The reception issue will disappear. I'm using it for quite sometime and it's pretty stable and neat.
How I change the baseband ?

Curious observation in battery life on ICS LQ3

I have noticed accidentally yesterday that after I had my stock headphones pluggeed in the Note, the typical curve of the battery drain became much flatter and the different wakes during screen off have almost disappeared. The moment I unplugged the headphones, the battery drain went back to the usual 2-3% per hour on standby.
I am running stock LQ3 and stock kernel. I am rooted, as I have flashed it through Mobile ODIN, over stock, rooted LPY.
I have quite a lot sync-accounts - twitter, facebook, gmail, email, weather widget etc. so I am quite used to relatively short battery life but the trick with the headphones came as quite a surprise.
Before writing this post I decided to test it today as well and it is the same.
So, could someone test this and report? I think that if this proves to be true and common, the devs could easily track what's happening exactly and sort things out, so that battery can live longer without the headphones plugged in.

Wrong section
Ugh...I am terribly sorry, this was meant for the General Discussion. Please, admin, move it there.
I've noticed that same if the SAR of the last samsung mobile is very low, the reception is quite good compared to other phones.
Do you notice also an improvement of the signal reception? Because if it is the case, it is that your headphones are used as a secondary antenna, giving the phone a stronger reception and less power consumption (better signal = less need of power usage for processing the signal)
This is just a theory...
After some ICS ROMs I went back to Gingerbread, mainly due to poor battery life.
When Litening ROM 2.0 was published I flashed that one. I liked the GB version a lot. The battery life was remarkable, a lot better than previous ICS ROMs. Because Litening is not much supported I tried Alba, also LQ3. A surprise because battery life was the same. I think I'll stick to ICS this time.

Alba often uses LB2 modem (from GB) in his ROMs - maybe it is the reason. I myself observed huge batterey drain on latest ICS ROMs while connected to Wi-Fi at my workplace. Fixed it by flashing ZCLP5 modem (from early "LP5 leak" ROM).

Hm, that is an interesting theory. I am not sure, however, that the headphones' cable really improves GSM radio reception. I think it is only for FM reception. Of course I have no knowledge behind that, just thinking.
I have frozen lots or apps in Titanuim Backup like:
- the whole range of SNS's
- Social Hub
- Wi-fi sharing manager
- the infamous wssyncmlnps
- software update service, etc
Also I have stopped a bunch of receivers, using Autorun Manager Pro, and disabled a lot of processes from Autostarts.
This should mean that I have opted out the most common battery drainers. I have tried to disable auto-sync for the time being, but that does not seem to be much of a drainer, so maybe the real problem comes somewhere from the modem.

Hey dimcus, i've been having this WiFi vs battery issues with some routers(including the one at home), weird enough it doesn't happen on some of them. I did read somewhere about flashing te Modem file, what leads me to a couple of questions ir you don't mind. Are you on ICS? Do i need to be root to flash the Modem file? If not, any risks involved? I'm on stock ICS LPY DBT.
Thanks in advance,

I flashed the ZCLP6 modem earlier today, guessing that it would be better than ZCLP5.
It is too early to judge but first impressions are that maybe there is a slight improvement in battery on 3G but not something worth it over the stock XXLPT that I used to have and generally battery drain on wifi seems as bad as it has been ever since I flashed ICS.
I have read that some people dared to wipe their Notes and after that most of the problems had disappeared but I don't want to risk getting some brick.
I will try several other popular modems and will report back.

I have been with LR1 modem for about 40 hours now. What is better than the ones before is the much better behaviour on wi-fi. Other than that it is hard to tell any differences. So far 7 hours since unplugged, 1 h screen-on, half time wifi, half time 3g - battery is at 75%

Unfortunately after several different ICS Roms (From Stock LPY to Cleanote 2.20) with several different Kernels (Stock, SpeedMod, Goku and more) and few modems (XXLPT, ZCLP5) I had to go back to Ginger due to extremely poor battery life. With all roms /kernels/modems combination the behavior was very similar. The phone was going into deep sleep pretty easily when idle with very low battery drain. On the other hand when using the phone I was getting about 10% drain each 20 minutes (A little less with data wifi and all sync off). I was also getting overheating with temp most of the times over 40 deg C. This drain was almost the same even with system energy savings on. I could not understand the reason for this strange behavior considering that many other users are having great battery life on ICS with their devices. Anyone is experiencing this situation ? NB now with Ginger the battery life is ok.

Battery drain with cm10 paranoid android
I am facing a huge battery drain issue. Used the phone for downloading and playing games and general usage yesterday and battery only lasted 3.5 Hours. Need to continuously watch the battery as it drops about 10-20% on idle. Checked the wakelocks and mainly wifi related, the phone is going into deep sleep just fine. HELP PLEASE!!!
lol continuously watching means you're the wake lock.
btw phone only has 3-3.5 hour screen on time. When playing games its usually less.

MX battery life?

Hi! I got my MX couple of months ago, and I can tell I love it. Anyways the only things I wasnt happy with were the battery life and reception, and so I updated my phone's flyme os yesterday. (from 1.0.3 to 1.1.1)
I assumed the update would fix the issues ( as I think it did for the reception ) but the battery seems to be even more horrible after the update.
It seems that after the update my MX didnt even completely charge up. I put my phone on the charger at around 2:30 and unplugged it at 13:30, so it was on power for about 11 hours, but it didnt even charge itself completely in addition to the fact that it stopped actually charging at around 8 o clock as we can clearly see from the "today" screenshot.
Then comparing it to the "yesterday" screenshot with 1.0.3 we can tell it charged itself up completely.
Ive got the new 2core model with the updated 1700 mah battery (which should have the best battery life of all of the mx models) and this makes me wonder what is the battery like on the other mx's if this is normal. And yes my phone was showing the charging animation on the screen during the time I mentioned earlier in the message.

However I admit that it could be better.
Its also well known that 1.1.1 contained a bug that ate battery, so stay away from that firmware.
I didn't test 1.1.3 yet.

Thanks for the info. Im currently on 1.1.3 and the battery seems even worse than it was. I really dont know what to do - the battery runs out in just couple of hours.
Hows your reception? Do you get good speeds all the time ? Did the update have effect on that? Mines horrible.. ;s

Try to restore as less as possible. Disable WiFi never sleeps.

My MX arrives this week and I'll be measuring the battery carefully to see if I can't find a replacement. (Yes, I realize it's not supposed to be "user replaceable", but the teardowns confirm that it is if you've got the patience and dedication. Here's hoping there is a higher-capacity battery in the same form factor.) Apps are nice, but more juice is better.

After upgrading restore only as less as possible. Never use a full restore with titanium etc.
Disable WiFi never sleeps option.

And I've never heard of titanium, haha.
Settings - WiFi - menu key - Advanced
One more thing: disable sync for unnecessary accounts

Huge thanks. Already disabled all sync except flyme.
1.1.5 is out, do you think I should try that? Theres no thing mentioned about battery in the changelog but there's some magic in updates sometimes, isn't there?
Hehe that's true. I use 1.1.5 and it feels pretty good.
1.1.5 is nice, however there is a bug in android terminal emulator.
The osk wont work until you change the input type setting to word based.
I also suggest prerooting the image, Ubuntu works nicely on it too.

Yeah I heard about that bug, but that's an easy fix isn't that Also never ran into the need of terminal on my MX.
There was someone on meizume forums telling he could upload a prerooted image of 1.1.5, and as I have 0 experience on how to preroot the file I wish he could do that. You see I'm a newbie - don't just tell me to do things, please tell me HOW to do the things aswell ^^,
Kedros uploaded one already. You can just fetch his.
Battery is 71mm x 35mm x Unknown Depth. If I can find a few batteries matching the length-width, I can start trying to transplant them into my MX quad core.
Please keep us updated on that.
I would love to stick a higher capacity battery in there.
