Finally got our OTA Froyo update for my Desire last week. I love it over 2.1 except it seems to be destroying my battery at a faster rate. Odd.

I'm sure they added some running apps you'll never use. Go into your settings and try turning some off (Skype, Amazon MP3, etc.)

You were all worried about battery life. Get rid of the LWP.

I see you finally listened to me about setting display brightness & conservative governor. Wanna try out something else?

Get Sysctl Config from the market and plug in these values:

Minfree Kbytes:6144
Dirty ratio:90
Dirty background ratio:70
VFS Cache Pressure: 1
OoM Allocating task checked

Don't need apply at boot if on CM7, then push apply. Should help with overall "feel" and battery life a tad.

If you have higher ram (256MB+) you can set minfree higher if you wish. That's more a global tweak. Basically with the tweaked values it won't cycle cache as much but set it too high and it can be just as bad as not setting them at all. Som roms (no init.d support) and a few others will have to do a Set at boot for it to function. I think it also has to have compache enabled kernel or rom.

Here's a quick read over what it does:

Well, report time

gave up on that ascend. Took it apart and stole parts:P

Modded Wifi to an External antenna
, added mini USB, Added A REAL headphone just not that super small BS. Added a direct charging port, Direct double battery oack:P hell yea!

OK now that that has came out...it now sets as a 3g hotspot for the house on 24/7 lol as of today.


Bought me the new Indulge or Galaxy S(Crickets Ver. though) the R915

Quote:
Processor

The Samsung Galaxy S has the S5PC110 processor. This processor combines a 45 nm 1 GHz ARM Cortex-A8 based CPU core with a PowerVR SGX 540 GPU made by Imagination Technologies which supports OpenGL ES 1.1/2.0[22] and is capable of up to 20 million triangles per second.[4] The CPU core, code-named "Hummingbird," was co-developed by Samsung and Intrinsity.[23]
[edit] Memory

The Samsung Galaxy S has 512 MB of dedicated LPDDR2 RAM (Mobile DDR) and 16-32 MB of OneDRAM, It is not certain whether Samsung will manufacture the 32 GB versions due to higher costs.[24] Some variants also come with either 8GB or 16GB of OneNAND memory combined in a package-on-package stack with the processor. An external microSD card slot supports up to 32GB of additional storage memory.[25]
[edit] Screen

The Samsung Galaxy S uses a 101.6-millimetre (4.00 in) Super AMOLED touch screen covered by Gorilla Glass, a special crack and scratch resistant material.[26] The screen is a WVGA PenTile display manufactured by Samsung.
[edit] Audio

The phone uses Wolfson's WM8994 DAC as its audio hub.[27]
Now just to flash the bitch. and make it REALLY BADASS!

Well from my reading everyone said the only real difference in the Galaxy s r910 and the r915 is just .LTE support.

I knoticed that the G.S has Micro Hdmi support and i could find anywhere talking about the 915 having it. after 1/2 hour with cricket on the phone they transfered me to samsung. where they went too tell me i was the first person to ask this. They kept on putting me on hold looking / calling and asking people{hope the right people.


Long story short the Indulge does not support Micro Hdmi. Like the Galaxy s does support.


Which sucks cause Netflix works on this phone not rooted eveen tho its not provided in the market yet. The apk found other places does an auto update from them. so idk beta lol.


differences in the 2 as i know of right now. Lte and Micro HDMI( Usb). could maybe be a reason the GS 7 rom isnt working on the Indulge which has been reported around the net.

Screenshots of Ice Cream Sandwich's user interface leaked?

If there is one thing
most smartphone users
expect from every new
Android release, it
would probably be that
of an updated and
more polished graphical user
interface to replace the old one
found in the previous versions.vr-zone.com/articles/screenshots-of-ice-cream-sandwich-s-user-interface-leaked-/13290.html
