The battery is getting empty faster than a cold beer on a hot day.

Does anybody suspect the androidsystem to be a powerconsumer ? All android phones I have owned had poor batterylife, x10, x10 mini/pro, Htc Desire  The battery on my iPhone 4 has a clear advantage over those phones  |

I got mine Galaxy S 8GB version last week. Its an amazing device apart from Camera Performance & a few niggling bugs. Flashed it to Froyo 2.2 (XXJPM) unofficialy and now it has a few improvements. Like Password Protection, coloured settings menu, flash support in browser etc. etc.. One thing is very dissapointing that it doesn't have arabic or urdu language support. Only two Arabic firmwares are available. I flashed it to JPJPA but then no market application. So flashed back to XXJPM. Anywz here are a few unboxing pictures

Well. I bought setCPU four days ago. Underclocked my galaxy S to max - 800 mhz min - 400 mhz, set the profile to moderate use. I'm now on my 3rd day of use off one charge. Bearing in mind i listen to music for around 2 hours aday whilst travelin to work, 20 minutes or so playing alchemy and angry birds, 20 minutes browsing via gprs, and general system browsing, i'd say thats a massive improvement over what i was getting. I'm running eclair btw, but nothing running otherwise. 3g turned off, data access for apps turned off. Brightness at 50%. Im very happy with it.

3 days off one charge is indeed impressing batterylife Was thinking about getting a Galaxy S myself but didn`t like the lack of a cameraflash |

Not something that bothers me anymore tbh. Its a great phone.i enjoy the challenge of getting the galaxy s to run how it should out the box. Ive acheived that now. I love it.

According to the Samsung Mobile UK twitter account, the update to Froyo started to roll out since november 4th. Did you update yours?

Nope. Not for the want of trying tho..kies just wont connect. Ive tried updating the drivers. Nothing. Ive tried unmounting the sd card. Nothing. Ive left it in ' connecting..please wait..' mode. Nothing. U have the awful itunes on my pc, as my other half has the iphone4. I dont know if that would interfere with the kies drivers and so forth..looks like i'll have to take it into town and get it done over the counter. There goes 20.00. I loathe samsungs software. Truly f**kin pathetic. |

I have read complaints abot kies in norwegian forums as well. One should believe that a corporation like Samsung could do this as easily as for instance SE It is nearly good enough. . . . . |

True. I have sorted the battery problem...underclocked the phone. Now get nearly three days outta my phone. Luckily for me, i have no lag since changing to ext4.
Very happy with it except for the software thing.

Its easy bono. Theres two apps. One that roots ya phone. The other, setCpu lets you adjust the clock speed. Then you reboot. Sorted. |

I've never had any issue with KIES connecti0n on Windows 7 Ultimate x64. Updated my Galaxy to Froyo(XXJPO) through KIES. But then flashed it to Eclair(JPJG8) and then to Froyo(JPJPA) via Odin software for Arabic/Urdu support. Using Product Code XGS. So market application is present.
Battery life isn't that bad as you people complaining... Anyway, i must say that apart from camera, its an excellent and superb device. I have taken only a few snaps and i think its not bad at all. Infact having no time to explore the camera features/performance thoroughly, as there are many other things to do
