Corsair Force GT 120GB SSD and my two-week battle. Let's live together

In honor of the DR has decided to please a loved buying SSD: it is very long wanted to know, What kind of animal these SSD.
For those, who do not know: SSD (Solid State Drive), which stands for Solid-enforcement drive, the form in most cases is a normal hard drive 2.5 inches (in notebooks, portable HDD), but, Unlike HDDs, SSD uses for flash memory storage. There are no mechanical parts — make all electrical circuits.
Well, get down to business. Why do we still need SSD, if you do not put on his Windows! Put Windu again I did not want: thought, that are copied to the SSD and everything will be OK, but not everything was so simple. That jumped read errors, sometimes I did not want me to ship Windows Files, in general, as a result of something like the system I suffered, but it was still not. System operation was possible only in IDE mode, and it is very well suited for SSD AHCI. But in this mode it I did not want to work as it should.
Having read all week Corsair and posts on forums “yellow beard”, suddenly decided to raise the voltage on South Bridge system board, someone recommended (it recommended to raise the voltage to somewhere 1.15V on PCH, but the settings only for the PCH I have not found, but it was setup SB Voltage. I put her in 1.20 instead of 1.10). And at the same time in another port inserted the disk itself, so surely. Continuation —>>

iPhone 4S – Quickly discharged battery. Increase the operating time and increases productivity.

And So, popolzovavshis this device, really noticed, the battery is pretty darn fast planted! Thinking about, it occurs, because he ponastavil sorts of stuff and different demons, decided, I can not be around to blame but himself. Googling on this topic — Yeah, I'm not the one! What is the main problem so quickly devouring batteries? Weak battery? No, I think, the matter is still software.

Some sources claim, it's all because of the constantly involved GPS chip for the time zone. That is, the iPhone constantly checks your current location in case of, if you'll be in one zone to another time zone. This thing is completely unnecessary! How to disable it, I will write below. On my devayse, of course, jailbreak. How can I do without him? Of course, because this is a very run some “demons” and hang in memory, loaded at startup aydevaysa. But nothing to blame only jailbreak! In iOS and so many demons hanging any unnecessary — diagnostic. Plus any kreshreporty and sislogi — yah they nafig us? We are ordinary people, we necessarily know, why one or the other times suddenly flew application, therefore it can turn off all. But you need to jailbreak) I dont know, but in the performance and in battery life will benefit from this, because he just fiddled with it, but I potestit and write the results of their experiments. If it is not laziness, of course. What do we still puts the battery? ABOUT, yes here and do not have to think a lot — it Push Notifications. It is necessary to turn off unnecessary Push notifications, eg, for Mail — Instead, put a sample every 30 Let minutes. For calendars and other things the same is true. And still the reason for such a tough devouring battery — it's 3G network! Somewhere subtracted, mode that operates in 3G 6 hours, and Wi-Fi mode, — 9 hours. This thing eats more battery, than wafer module!



So, properly, I will not eat your eyes large pieces for the most part senseless text and gag, let's get down to business.

What can be done to “official” firmware (without jailbreaking):

  1. Turning off 3G, if it is not needed (each time you restart must be repeated)
    Go to Settings-> Osnovnye-> Network and turn off the first thing on the list — “Enable 3G
  2. Turn off Location Services for some programs
    Go to the Settings-> Location Services — here in prinitsipe can leave it as is or do turn on all the checkboxes, because these programs use the GPS only when we run them yourself. But the most important thing is here: Settings-> Geolokatsiya-> System Services. Turning off this list: “Location-based iAd”, “Diagnostic. and Use”, “Search in social networks”, “Time zone”. In prinitsipe, You can only turn off the last — “Time zone”.
  3. Go to the Settings-> Mail,calendars….-> Loading data and here disable Push for checking mail.
  4. Turning off the remaining unnecessary Push: Settings-> Notifications and disable all, we do not need.

For jailbroken devices:

  1. Turn off unnecessary daemons( especially pay attention to com.saurik.Cydia.Startup.plist ) There are two ways:
    a) Manual: So far, here is the link to the English article. Later, can, I make a detailed subject in Russian. And here is the detailed instruction to Russian! Caution! Be careful! And back up your data before, how to experiment!
    b) For lazy people: If you do not believe in yourself, the place from Cydia tweak DisableDaemons or Daemon Tool (there is a repository http://repo.insanelyi.com)

    PS: Combine both methods was not forbidden.

Can, More will be added later….

iPhone 4S. Impressions. Brief FAQ on the basis of possible Jailbreak'a

Recently became the owner of the device, specified in sabzh. Is quite expensive course, piece bucks for iPods and some phone, but, i think, worth it. I have a version with 32GB of memory, so as to 64 spare money, and 16 there was little, so I decided — either you are not me, Now the golden mean and won. Well, in general, to business.

And So, what impressions? Well, powerful device packed with filling. Dual-core processor with a frequency of 1GHz, plus hardware support for OpenGL and decoding H.264 video. Everything works quickly and does not irritate each time.

Well, with hardware filling all clear. We now turn to the software part. When I turned on the device, had seen, that the firmware version on it was 5.1. Well, of course, the first thing I was updated on 5.1.1, and then made a jailbreak. it is fairly easy, described here, as http://redsnow.ru/untethered-ios-5-1-1-jailbreak-released/ .

If you have already done tethered jailbreak with RedSn0w, you should only install repository Cydia package for transforming it into an untethered jailbreak “Rocky Racoon 5.1.1 Untether” and reboot.

Ceyla Without this device becomes no better than Alcatel phone, but the only difference is, what I can do quite a lot, but it is forbidden to see whether! I do not like restrictions.

  2. When a call is no button “END” — only “reply”. How to solve? — we click twice on the button hibernation (top unit) and cancel the call. Although there are certainly Patch in cydia.

Free SMS? Yes I Am!
