    Am I the only one getting speeds like this?

    It's a bug in the speedtest app. I just did a test and got 68.97 Mbps and then 2000.00 Mbps.

    Wifi Battery Drain

    I've noticed the same thing.. Did you manage to investigate further? prior to EC05, wifi sleep was set to Never, and had acceptable wifi battery drain. After EC05 (stock or custom rom), wifi takes up a big chunk of battery life. This is even if I have a wifi connection (as I do in the...

    [ROM] ACE ROM v2.0 (No Further EC05 Development)

    Exactly my situation. One (rare) day I can have excellent battery life, 3 hours display time, etc. Another day it drains battery like crazy when I'm not even using it, <1 hour display time. And this is everything else being equal - wifi on and connected most of the time in the same location...

    [ROM] ACE ROM v2.0 (No Further EC05 Development)

    Does anyone else have a problem with gallery sensor usage? I remember having this bug a while back with one of the stock roms, but I believe it was fixed in EC05. the bug is that if you go into the stock gallery app, where you can tilt the phone and and see the thumbnails tilt, the sensor...

    List your EC05 Problems/Praise

    EC05 has been functionally great for me, but battery life has been sporadically horrible. Some days I get great battery life, and some days it drains like crazy. It used to be that the "battery use" info screen would show a bunch of items, but it just shows some system things now (of which...

    EB13 and battery life

    WOW! 4 hours display-on time! I would love to have that. On DI18, I could get about 2.5 hours display time before hitting the <15% mark. I haven't done real test with EB13 yet, but the numbers seems much lower. For me, display time always seems to dominate battery usage - so all the stats...

    EB13 Display brightness?

    I installed an app called Screen Filter which allows you to set the brightness even lower. It seemed to help with my battery life problems - I'm about on par with DI18 now. I do like that Samsung made the "swipe across notification bar to change brightness" less sensitive now. Previously...

    EB13 Display brightness?

    Is the minimum brightness in EB13 higher than it was in DI18? I've been running stock in both cases. I keep my brightness level always at minimum, and it seems that after flashing EB13, the display is brighter than it was in the past. I'm asking because my battery life has been worse off...

    Four Ways to Fix GPS Problems in Froyo

    wiped and flashed using the .exe windows installer. Everything seemed to work great except for GPS. Couldn't get any satellites to show up. I tried method 3 first, since that seemed the quickest to verify, and it worked instantly - GPS satellites showed up and fix acquired within a few...

    Sprint's Samsung Epic 4g Official Froyo EB13

    I'm on stock DI18, rooted. I should be able to apply the update.zip, but when I boot into recovery and try to update, I get an assert failed from apply_patch_check for /system/app/Settings.apk I assume this means that at some point, that apk got modified from stock, so i'll instead have to...

    how long has your battery lasted F-E

    I got a replacement Epic on Wednesday to fix some display issues. With a new battery and fresh device, I decided to test out the baseline battery life. Right now, I have been unplugged from a full charge for 20h 25m 46s. I'm at 10% battery, as calculated by Battery Indicator app. On the...

    Camera resolution not sticking

    Well, to reproduce the problem I was killing the app via task manager (or it was autokilled by advanced task killer). I couldn't find anything in the camera settings to make my resolution "sticky". But I guess the easiest workaround is to have ATK ignore the camera app, and for me not to kill...

    Camera resolution not sticking

    Checking if anyone else has a problem of the camera resolution setting not sticking around. I set the normal camera mode to 5MP, but I found that the resolution was dropping back down to 640x480 every now and then. After some trial and error, it seems that when the camera app is killed...

    Poor reception / radio signal strength

    Does anyone else have a problem with their radio signal meter jumping wildly? At home, my 3g signal strength can go from 4 bars to 0 bars the next moment. When it's 3-4 bars, browsing and data are smooth. But when it drops to 0 bars, data seems to stall. So I think it's not just a problem...
