The hunt for the rogue app begins...
hyeah:
Started off by clearing the sd card and then flash gb csl with SUT version 1.8.2(worked well on my win7 x64)
got up first to check the wifi and gps, installed GPS toolbox. Got a fix in 45 secs. I had selected the option of wiping user data.
Next rooted using CWM and installing the su zip file. Again went for the wifi check and the GPS. This time the fix was in even lesser time. By this time I even did a factory reset and cleared the SD card, but the net result is a rooted handset will fix the loc faster...personal experience.
Installed DoomKernel via the CWM update. With this the GPS fix time now came down to just a few seconds. So one things for sure, these are now out of my list of suspects. I have not gone for the custom ROM, since I found this way to be better.
there after I have installed my usual favs
Antutu cpu master for overclocking, Anttek app manager for removing the bloatware, QQlauncher for the eyecandy, and GPS status and toolbox(my fav).
No problem so far in both the wifi and the gps fix. I am now ready to find the rogue app.
Some unusual experiences.....
I have finally found a lazy pixel too....as I was standing in the dark waiting for the gps fix.
I had initial problems of getting connected to WIFI. Just to be on the safer side, I used my olivepad to create another wifi hotspot and got an instant connection. So there was some problem in my wifi router configuration, which I took some time to trace out. so you may all like to check.
I have overclocked to the max and guess what I am now ranked to topmost among csl devices in Antutu benchmark. It is so sad that the highest frequency achieved by the toppers is galaxy S2 1696 Mhz, Xoom 1704MHz, Transofrmer 1680MHz,OPTIMUS 2X 1600Mhz and so on..yeah I know these are dual cores and there is no comparison, but 1900mhz is still huge.
