[Q] a few Questions kindly help

---

hi
im not new to Flashing i have done the same many times on my other Phones
but as every phone is Uniqe and have their own process for the same i have a few questions kindly do help
1. do i need to root before adding CWM to my phone or after

2. if i want to go back to the original img for some warranty purposes
is this all i nee do : got to download mode replace the CWM img with the original i have saved and then flash the original stock rom

3. i have gone to the spice service and have upgraded to the official 2.3.4
now if all i need is good battery what do i need to do.Is the battery quite bad or is this only my problem. To explain better- fully charged battery with very min talking and wifi use seems to go down to about 60% by around 8PM. I do have another samsung as mentioned in my sign use by my wife the battery seems to be much better ie with a lot of calls she gets she seems to be able to use the phone for around 2 days

4. Kindly suggest some good cooked or Stock Roms to solve my problems
my main req is good battery with min wifi usage and hi call usage

5. IMIE back up
on my samsung Phone we could back up a folder called EFS which has all the IMIE details and the same can be restored if we loose the IMIE
is this possible also on our phone if so kindly give me the process.


Thanks in advance

1. No need to root before replacing the recovery.

2. Flashing the original ROM will bring back the Original Stock Recovery.

3. Switch off 3G (WCDMA) and Auto Sync and Data (GPRS) while you are not using them, battery is good for me and lasts for more than 24 hours in moderate usage but differs on various RAM and various Usage, There are some battery saving apps available in market like Juice Defender Pro etc.... You can try them if you like.

4. Check here for custom ROM and Official ROM Releases

5. I don't think you can loose IMEI on this phone or say I don't know much about IMEI backup.

hi
buddy thanks for ur kind reply
i have tried juice defender really did not see any great improvement
im also using a task killer is this ok
im am getting 24hrs of battery that is not the problem but it seems to drain quite fast right now my usage is Moderate im only worried if this batter will stay for a day when my usage becomes quite heavy in near future

and IMIE is very very important we need to find out a way to get the info on our phone and save it for future

i know many many guys who have flashed their phone with a custom ROM(ie in the tattoo and samsung SG3 forum) and have lost their imie and thus making their phone useless as i know for a fact in india the mobile company has some process were they look for ur imie while u mobile connection is on and the phone will get disconnected asap if they dont see the IMIE when us phone is on

For longer battery life use setcpu and make profiles especially one that lets you set the cpu to lowest setting when screen is off.

I am not sure that you can lose the imei on this phone. I think it is hard coded into the phone. Be sure to use CWM and make an original backup and copy it to your computer for safety. I have already sent mine back into the factory after flashing the original back to the phone and they had no issues with it. I made sure that the orignal recovery.img was back on the FIH folder.

मैने इस फोन पर सब try कर लिया है |
there is no such issue of imei and also in india it wont brake your warrenty if u root or do some customes as the android is an open source and you can develop the phone as you wanted.. so dont worry i gave my phone after updating to unofficail updates that were relesed earlier bt there also i wasnt asked why... they just took and serviced it

I wont bank on that...by policy warranty runs void is any rooting is done or any custom ROM is flashed. You may have gotten lucky with your SC Guys....

in my knowledge IMEI is embedded, cant wipe that off with flashing custom ROM..

I am luving MIUI though.....just waiting for it to get stable....the touch experience and theme support makes the phone iphone like smooth.
