Ok.. after playing around quite a bit, I found that disabling Google Talk Auto Signin tends to show a noticeable increase in battery life. I can now have Background sync with auto sync enabled even at night and lose approximately 2-3% in 8 hours with screen off. Previously (with Gtalk auto sign in enabled), even with screen off, the battery used to drain 12-15% in 8 hours. I no longer seem to be charging the device twice a day.
I hope this helps people with severe battery drain problemsI'll post again if I find some more solutions to this problem.
lol..its not Google Talk Auto Signin...its Auto Sync which eats actual battery.

Yes.. Auto Sync does it too, as I have mentioned in one of my previous posts. But leaving auto sync enabled with GTalk auto sign in off does help. (Also, after disabling HSDPA with *#301279#, battery life has improved quite a bit)

Galaxy S successor / S2 is supposed to be unveiled in MWC 2011. Watch out for the next big daddy among the droid smartfones.

First, the rooting was long. But it did help me as I had just bricked my phone in a way, it had not had any ROM.
So, the tutorial and ROM provided in it helped me.
Gingerbread is glossy and sleek, but I was too used to using Froyo I guess, still not able to grasp this ROM properly.
-The best thing I noticed that, the moment I set up my connection with google, all the apps I had earlier started downloading. Though I restored them, again, but this settings is really helpful for some n00b who did not know how to backup up APKs (happened with me once)
-Notification area has two sections: one for notifications, and another for various apps, mainly WIFI, Bluetooth etc settings.
But,
-Lot of apps which were in my previois ROM and I backed up are not working properly. If I launch, it sends a message "Force Close". Such apps (Handsent SMS, PowerAMP Music player, Galaxy Tuner, Voodoo Control etc)
-If I plug in the device, no choice for Kies. Even in menu, no choice for kies.
-In accounts, no option for Twitter and Facebook, previously it was there.
Till now these much rants only
