i have downloaded "faster fix" - doent appear it did something.

2000 times? w00t!
Hmm.. probably is the ROM problem? have you tried trying your GPS on other ROMs?
EDIT: I mean ROMs other than Android Revolution HD.

nope, its the only rom i flashed...
[did a full wipe so ...]

sometimes it can take up to 30 mins to get lock for the first attempt. are you trying indoors or outdoors? it really needs to be outdoors with clear sight to the sky for best results

Yes.. Like what andywright1982 says, at least 30 minutes. Sometimes my first attempt can take me at least 15 minutes. (Yes, its frustrating. sigh)

very intersting...
30 min for first attemp?
* i have tried outdoors, with view on the sky.
thx for reply.

Have you tried this?

Help Me Find Out Why My Phone Randomly Restarted - LeeDroid

I'm hoping someone can help please. I put Leedroid 2.4 on my phone and it's been flawless for a couple of days, apart from this morning it looks at if it randomly rebooted.
I haven't switched it off since sometime yesterday but System Monitor shows a boot time of 4:13 this morning. I was asleep and the phone was on the side unplugged.

Also my battery history goes a bit funny just after this time and the useage went up loads from it's usual 1 or 2ma when sleeping.
and voltage - the big drop at the end is when my alarm went off and I started using the phone
I've no idea how I'd start to find out what caused it to do it, can anyone help please? It obviously didn't do a full reboot as it didn't ask for my PIN unlock code this morning.
Cheers
It's done it again this morning at 3:30. Useage at -1ma for ages then after this time up to between -22 and -25.
Any ideas?
I've checked through everything in "SystemPanel" and nothing seems to be using the processor at any time.
Hi,
Sorry I could not help you out about your issue but will be happy if you can tell me the apps you use for monitoring your phone? Is it all from the "System Monitor" app you mention?
The top pic is SystemPanel which I think cost me a pound or two a while ago and the bottom is Battery Monitor Widget, which is free.

Thanks a lot. I hope your issue will be solved! Or maybe perform a full wipe and see if the problem persists?

Cheers, me too. It's not a major issue but it's one that could catch me out if it does it when my battery is low.

25 hours screen on with 7% brightness for reading

I'm using 155-2 cee stock rom.
This rom suits me for best battery life.
Normal 2g mobile standby is 2.4 hours per 1%.
setvsel 18-300 40-800 50-1000
And some system app deleted like most did.
(dlna,phone portal,media share kept)

The reading app is moon+ reader,
(205 232 207)RGB background with pure black font
7% screen brightness
no page flip effect
still with mobile standby(that's 10% battery drain,5% if using flight mode)
Reading time is about 8 hours,other time is just screen on.
This brightness with the color background is nice for bedtime reading even in thedaily time in the room ,not at window or with several lights above.
You can have a try.

I can't see those pics: "You don't have permission to access the requested object."
Honestly I don't know how much those figures will suit people that use their phone for anything else than just reading... Someone will call you during those 25 hours...
Where did you find the circle battery indicator in the status bar? I'd like to install this style in CM7.1, it is nicer and cleaner than the 2 stock ones (stock for CM7.1, I mean)

Thank you, I'll try it now, I had this problem before and the new launcher from sgs III solved it
What a great development. Appreciate your hard work mate. Truly a difficult work.

Nice, will test this out!
Does it work for anyone?
Wake up lag is the exynos chip waiting for the modem to wake up. Changing your lockscreen will not help dude, unless it prevents your phone from going to sleep, which will decimate your battery life.

It doesn't seem to matter how many times people repeat this over and over. Myself included.
I have given up repeating myself and explaining to people that it's the exynos blah blah it can't be fixed without wakeblah blah. Its a loosing battle. Just let them believe whatever they want to beleive, if it seems to make them happy.

I used CM10 for 1 month and i downloaded my rom from Here . Try this one. I haven't got any problem with this ROM.
I'm having a similar problem... I'm using the FXP CM10 (build fxp225) on my arc S from about 3 weeks, and the battery drain is too high .. lot more than stock GB, and less than 12 hours. I barely get through a day in college.
I'm on the fxp kernel that came with the ROM, BB64, processor 134/1024, ondemand, Deadline I/O, I keep 2g on, but not BT or Wifi or GPS.
I'd like to avoid flashing another ROM... (It's a PITA to get all the apps, data and settings up again... ) but is there any way to improve battery life using any settings, or by BB/Kernel update?
Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Try clearing AGPS data. You should be able to do that in GPS Test.

Did that, no go. How many are you getting btw, and what radio are you on?
I'm using UVMC6 (rooted stock JB, never had a custom ROM) and getting 19 sats in view and 12 in use. By the looks of your signal bars, you're not getting strong enough signal to use any--it's just seeing that the sats are there.

Huh, I'll try ODINing to 4.1.2 then. If that doesn't work, I'll just sell it on eBay. Probably gonna get a Motorola Atrix HD (cheaper than SGS2, better res screen, but no hardware buttons or NFC).
Could you try running that app without the wifi/data on?
Also, for some reason my gps clock doesn't set like yours does. SMH.
Ok update, GPS is working, but it takes a LOOOOOOOOOOONG time to get locks.
It should be quicker next time... even my Garmin eTrex takes forever if I haven't used it in a while.

Yeah, actually it does work. But initially, it takes around 15 to 20 minutes (after boot that is), and then it grabs signal within 10 seconds.
Weird...Oh well, I don't even use the GPS. The CPU and GPU are super powerful, so it's a great phone I have my CPU overclocked at 1.7GHz and GPU underclocked to 177MHz (but it's still powerful. I don't play games on it).
