speaker sound is ok brother.the main problem i am having is with the battery.it is giving me approximately 16 hours at full charge with light usage.usage is mostly limited to browsing and playig games.

How much do you browse and what games and for how long. Browsing and gaming arent kind to the battery.

That's a fantastic return for what you're usage is! Browsing if over gprs or 3g will literally eat your battery and no 2nd guesses on gaming. That kills the battery! 16 hrs is really good for those

Which stock rom are you on? Use CPU Spy to check phone CPU status during standby. It should be in Deep Sleep mode

Please describe your typical usage. Mebbe the "new phone syndrome" is eating your battery.

The low speaker sound is more a result of the placement of the speaker (back of the device) Unless of course you have another issue

yea i think u were right, i was doing whole lot of things ..its kinda stable now ..but have to charge every night & even sometimes in lunch time, i hoped 2500 mah battery would last more, taking off the "use packet data" greatly saved the battery & automatic sync thing.

can u guys suggest any app to save more battery & kill the unwasnted apps running on the background

Guys still on Gingerbread, what ROM/Custom ROM are you using? Been using Darky 3.3 and even though performance is decent its started acting up a bit. Frequent random reboots, etc. I don't want to wait for ICS and would rather flash an updated ROM right now.

Tks

Using rocket rom v22 with speedmod kernel and the ICS theme for rocket rom. Go launcher is fractionally slower than Touchwiz so I just stuck with the latter.

Even my iPhone 4s mates can't believe how well it handles everything you throw at it. HD movies, photos, heavy browsing etc etc

I believe stock LC1 + A good kernel like Franco will give almost similar (great) performance. Franco has a new test kernel out which is apparently giving stellar results. On AbyssNote 4.2 at the moment. Will switch to Franco when he releases a new 'proper' build.

I did run franco's new test build for 2 days. The kernel isnt what i would call a consistent one. Waking up had issues but i never encountered any artifacts or 'salads'. There was a serious lag while receiving calls and the way the proximity sensor worked. Battery life was good though.

Switched back to Abyss. For now, its a keeper.

Guys I am RUNNING CYANOGENMOD 9! WITH EVERYTHING WORKING! I was one of the few lucky ones to grab the ROM from xda three days ago, when it was up for download. It's a BEAUTY. The MOST stable ROM ever. Never going back to Gingerbread. Everything JUST works. CM9, WOW!

I dunno if I have the permission to host it, and I won't until I get permission from the CM team. Hence no requests to host it please. Sorry :-(

Been busy and not followed this. So, everything including camcorder, proper usb mount, S-Pen functionality works? And why was it taken down?

Camcorder, video recording, USB mount, everything! Only thing they haven't worked on is S-Pen, because that's proprietary Samsung stuff

EDIT: Sorry, video recording doesn't save still. My bad!
