Whats the 3G reception like where you/your daughter lives? Well any phone reception tbh.

Thats the only thing i can think of at the moment, will see if i can find anything around the same area.

Excellent and my wife has the same phone with no problems.
My daughter thinks she has turned something off.

is there any way to keep it going so it doesn't sleep? I have pretty poor signal and need wifi to receive whatsapp messages

Ok, so in the past 3 days or so, my phone has died overnight, which has never happened before, battery life on the SS RLS5 has gone right down the drain, anyone know how this battery recalibration works?

Cheers

good enough fits the phone well.. both headphone/usb port are ok..

Also does anyone know where i can get this widget.

The default one is missing the button that switches the internet on and off.

Hm that is the default widget I thought?

Maybe its different for froyo.

Also does anyone know a app that replaces the original battery for one with a %

well my default one with JJRLS9 looks exactly like that..

a theme addon.. i think its called "gingerbread circle battery" or something like that..

but i use a battstatt widget..

looks like -

the top one saying "fullycharged" instead of numbers you have words for e.g. 66% = sixtysixPercent - nice

you can also change it to numbers

Swedish spring 5 has this by default too.

Look for power control on the market, you can add that and more using it, as i found the default widget wasn't enough.

Ill post some pics of a new launcher i like

Android Phone 7

pretty cool tbh, scroll up and down on the home screen, with animations etc,

EDIT: Seems it absolutely destorys your battery life when in sleep, i went from 50% to 7% in less than 4 hours

Its worth it, and if you stick to it, the new releases can be installed directly on top of it - i.e; no wiping data, just a cache cleanup is all that is near enough needed

grudas · 3 May 2011 at 23:32

well I had JJRLS9 before this :-)

feels a bit quicker.. we'll see how stable it is compared to JJ
