I just installed DVM ARM11 optimized experimental component & my spica is running fast now.
The best part is that it is stable.
Linpack MFLOPS ranging between 4-5

two more things which I forget to ask...
What is dalvik-cache? why I cant wipe dalvik-cache in recovery?

What are tun.ko and cifs.ko modules that are there in the samdroid tools? what's the use of these two?

Back to this thread after a short break

@Jain_pranav

Check if your phone remains stable after a day or two. Coz mine was stable for a day and then started to act weird, Had to reflash with std DVM.

OT: Good news for Moto S9 snoop owners, now you can just flash your old S9 to S9 HD and enjoy srs effects. I just flashed mine yesterday

No infra red in Spica

 

[arunks]

No infra red in Spica

OMG, how can i forget that... i thought it is there

 

[tarey_g]

3 of my friends/family got spica

 

[eagle06]

my trials to buy the phone on ebay also failed.
The dealer send me this message

First of all i am sorry for responding so late to
you the reason is that due to some technical fault
arising again and again in this phone the company
is not giving new lot to dealers sir which is why
there is an immense shortage not only in ahmedabad
but nationally sir its better to tell you in
advance rather then giving you a faulty phone sir
and then running towards service center's sir.

I would suggest you to select some other model
from our shop sir and also i can give you a refund
for the same too sir.

Is this phone really faulty? i dont think so Lol

@tarey_g
when and where did you get the phone. Any details about it would be nice.

 

[tarey_g]

1 from Gwalior and 2 from Pune , it was hard to find.

I feel sorry for you eagle06, I was in same situation as yours 2 months ago. Luckily I got hold of my spica.
But dont worry galaxy 3 and 5 will soon be here.

Phone faulty?? I dont think so. No one on this thread complained about any thing as such. Only problem I find is when music plays there's some disturbance. And it happens some times. I heard samsung is working on this in new firmware.

 

[sachitgul]

damn it!
IMO samsung should provide us with a Froyo update ASAP!

but all the evidence suggests otherwise.

[tarey_g]

Okay, major problem .
My brother go Spica with 2.1 by default, he has following problems.

* GPRS is never off, how to turn that off. I can't help him on this matter as I don't have GPRS in my phone.

* If the phone is restarted, all contacts are lost.
