It's because the SMS is already displayed as a whole.

That was not the case in Froyo where long SMSs were shortened and you have to access full view to read it all.

I'm on XWJVB with CF kernel , everything is working fine except power control widget which is not showing the icons and not do anything if it is pressed

does any one have problem with power control widget?

Edit:

The problem was AppWidgetpicker.apk there is some conflict between this application and power control
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Sparksltd:
Flashed jvb via Odin with the fugu kernal and used fugu's app to convert file system to jfs.

So far I'm very impressed! Never has my sgs been this fast! For me this phone is now perfect!

I've also found that my battery life has increased alot. I have always used juice defender and on froyo (darkys rom) I would get one day out of a full charge. But I now get 2 days easy!

I'm happy!

Oh and one more thing. I flashed back to eclair first then used **2767*3855#* code in phone pad to factory reset then flashed jvb because I had battery problems and random reboot's. This solved it for me.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hanhav:
It drains battery even it isn't on?

Will try that.

E: Skype remove and boot did not help at all.

Best app to find out what is draining the battery? Now I lose about 5% per hour.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] preveza:
Tried JVB.

Everything works fine. Verry smooth, verry fast and really stable. Web surfing with stock browser is now almost perfect.

What doesn't work for me: Sygic Aura (ain't able to render 3d, got stuck)

After converting file system to ext4 Sygic Aura works, but with some lags and hang overs for 1-2 minutes while exploring the map. Any solutions? But nice ROM at all.

Best regards.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Johnny55555555:
Can't fault the phone or software in any way, all just works

As I type this it says Unplugged for 38 hours, good health, 31.0 C / 3.827 v / 64% battery left.

For this alone the upgrade is worth it.

Took a few days for it to settle down and recalibrate itself to this level.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] scorpeeon:
this rom would be pretty cool if it wouldn't drain randomly my battery to the ground within a few hours. but since it occasionally does this and i tried all types of solutions and none of them worked i think i'm moving back to JS8. it's such a shame, it would be much better in everything else than previous roms but this bug is so serious that i just can't stand it. when you don't wake up when you should go to work because your phone's battery drained while u were sleeping even when it was nearly fully charged before u went to sleep, u will see what i'm talking about :S:S

I just upgraded to JVB and GO launcher is somewhat choppy and laggy in comparison to good old JS8, anybody experiencing the same problem?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mloc33:
For me JVB is better/faster/smoother than Froyo. A few FC`s but nothing to cry about.....
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jj03:
thanks...thanks for being incredibly wrong lol. . . i stopped the update service from running. battery seems fine now.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hanhav:
Battery lasts fine when I close data connection and occasionally battery is fine even when data is on.

What could use data so much?

I installed 3G Watchdog today 7-8 hours ago and phone has received almost 60MB data since. Have visited only one forum 2-3 times.

Edit: Installed this app. Maybe it tells me what uses data so much.

Or is it normal that android uses dat so much idle? Don´t think so...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tommy34:
Got exactly the same problem with aura and gps signal is really bad in cities with aura (google maps works better). on other builds 2.2.1 worked much better
[Galaxy S I9000 General] JJEgan:
Only negative i have is no boot sounds .

About as smooth as 2.2.1 with a lagfix .

99% of apps work .

GPS possibly slightly better but no problem on 2.2 .

Battery to early to tell as its not been cycled enough times .

Build is XWJVB CF Root with Rom Kitchen upgrade XXJVB customized few apps added and boot animation with power menu and AOSP lock screen .

Does anyone have a problem with the email notification (I'm using the default email app for Exchange) counter not resetting? Essentially the counter just keeps incrementing whenever I get a new email even though I've read them all.

I'm trying to find out if this is a problem with the base ROM or with the custom ROM I installed. I'm using DebusROM.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mloc33:
If its anything like the text message notification, maybe you have to go into the e-mail before it resets.

I know with my texts, I can read the text without going into it but the notification won`t go until I go right into the message, kind of annoying when its a small text.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] yvrRome:
Yeah, I've gone in and read the message. The notification disappears until I get a new email but the new email counter just increments. Used to work fine in Eclair and Froyo. I just don't feel like installing another GB ROM to test it.

Gmail notification counter works fine. So nobody else has this problem on another GB ROM?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mloc33:
Have you tried, re-installing it / clearing cache/data, turning the phone off and then on again, lol?

Problem with Swype

I have a problem that Swype doesn't add new words to its dictionary, even after I tap the right letters and then press space bar. Sometimes, 3g gets stuck and starts working only after I restart the phone. Similarly thing happens with wifi. Any solutions?

Installed this with all lagfixes: https://market.android.com/details?id=org.projectvoodoo.controlappdonate (best app you can buy for your SGS)

And finally this, coz I hate the TW lockscreen (thanks bubby323):

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=943812

Since then I've had maybe 4-6 random reboots (I didn't do a factory reset so this may be a factor), and everything seems to be working fine. Battery life is good, equal to JPY perhaps a bit better but not drastically so, JPY gave me fairly decent battery life anyway so I'm happy enough on that count.

GPS does seem to be slighly quicker than JPY, but it's not something I actually use that often so I can't give a good comparison.

All in all it's a pretty good ROM, phone's responsive, pressing the Home button does have the 0.5s lag mentioned in another post here, but it's not something that bothers me. Wifi seems to connect slightly quicker too, most of the time. All of my apps work fine, with one exception...NOVA HD.

Modern Combat 2 works fine, but NOVA just displays a white screen, somehow managed to get on to multiplayer by randomly prodding the screen, and though the level actually showed onscreen and I could move around and shoot, jump, etc, all of the HUD and joystick/fire areas of the screen were whited out. Gameloft have no idea what the problem is, they have sent me several alternative versions but ended up offering me another game of my choice. That, and the graphics issue with Quadrant Advanced 1.1.6 are the only issues I've come across to date, although after updating Flash 10.2 last night the phone switched itself off a couple of hours later, think I read in the market reviews that it was causing the odd reboot.

Would I recommend JVB?

Yep :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] NCSoft:
i used Both roms stock. JVB wasnt so stable , sometimes was terrible lag . JVA is good looking more faster than JVB , but i still prefer JPY .
[Galaxy S I9000 General] BridX:
So far all seems ok, problem is with the wi-fi. I can't be able to connect to a hotspot coz its says that network signal is weak en when using a laptop in the same position all is ok. Puzzled.

Problems with Internet

There is apparently another issue with XWJVB. Both wireless and 3g internet become ver slow sometimes. Wireless almost gets stuck compeltely. When I re-start the phone, performaance improves. By the way, connnectivity with wireless router is not a problem. It is just that internet access gets stuck. Any ideas what to do?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mrbrush:
I've got the exact same problem. The problem is worsened by the fact that when the phone is connected to a charger or USB, it won't go to sleep, which means that it will drain the battery much faster than it would without being on the charger in the first place. Hope this gets fixed soon.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mdacic:
Go to "display time out" in settings, and set to 2minutes for example. It happened to me once on 2.2.1 that some stupid app changed this setting to indefinite! But if you manually set this to 2 minutes, it should work fine. I'm using JVB, after 2mins even on charger/usb it turns off normally.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mrbrush:
Just to clarify: when I say the phone won't go to sleep when on a charger or USB I mean that the CPU of the phone is not going to a low power standby state. You know when the CPU is in standby if the display is off and you press the power button, the lock screen appears only after a short delay, about 1 second, whereas, if the phone is not sleeping, it appears right away.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nepllica:
using it for one day. Seems smooth and fast without lagfix and custom Roms. I will use it for few days without Laglix. Quadrant in only 987 but it seems much faster or almost same same my previus rom 2.2.1 with speedmod kernal with lagfix. No issue with the apps so far .

But wifi signal have problem. I,ve to be very close to the source. If the phone is further than 3 meter The signal goes very weak. But this is not big problem for me coz I use 3g most of the time.

Running stock jvh stock kernel no mods at all, petformance just fine, smothest rom in my opinion so far, battery life seems to be a bitt better then froyo so. Un pluget my charger in 08.30in the morning and now i have 93 % with moderate use.

No bugs so far or lag, only thing i saw in tgis morning was when i unpluged the charger it droped to 98%, but i guess it needs a copules chargers :)

Cheers
[Galaxy S I9000 General] O-T:
It is normal to not show 100% when unplugging from charger. The battery is protected this way.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] JarradDD:
Been using for 10 hours now. First impressions are very smooth. Not quite as quick a my previous zsjpk. However did notice a big change in the way the screen looked. Much crisper. Looks really good. Anyone else noticed this? Only problem is wifi. Its terrible. More that 6 metres away and its cant connect. Battery seems good. Been using for pretty much no stop for the past 4 hours donwloading apps of wifi etc and have lost 25%.

Flashed JVH via odin.

Overall very very good.I'm very satisfied.

I think odin flashing is to blame.. A clean install has cured my battery drain issues... I will link the process in my signature later..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mossy1963:
I have to agree with you. If you can get away with a non-wipe flash then fine. I usually format internal sd, factory reset, flash, reset and have found jvk and jvh to be the best roms yet. I suspect people having recurring problems are doing a light flash over a resident problem and need to get their device as clean as possible before doing a full flash (as described above)

JVH infos needed

Hi all !

I know that it may be too soon to ask for battery problems (as the fw was released only 4 days ago) but can you please tell me if the Gallery bug is still present? I use stock gallery and on JVK was very choppy. I have JS8 now and I'm still standing by. Also, could you please tell me if the status bar icons are the same as in Froyo, or are they like the ones in JVK? I understand that the call delay problem is solved, the alarm bug is still present in some cases while for some the alarm works great. Which one is it?:D Wi-Fi strength is ok? Some say that it has poor wi-fi signal. And any other bugs if you found:D I don't care about Quadrant scores or any lagfixes. I don't use any, nor Custom ROMS or root. I am only on stock fw and apps. Thank you for your time and I hope your answers will be useful not just for me but for all of us out there who haven't yet decided to flash this new firmware. Cheers everyone !;)

[Galaxy S I9000 General] armacatangay:
For me, JVH is the best gingerbread for the SGS. Even with stock it is smooth and you don't really have to rely on custom roms to get good results. Maybe just root so you can use apps that require SU access

Also missing on my phone after upgrading to 2.3.3. Additionally, it is not so smooth, scrolling left and right on main screen and within applications is sometimes choppy.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] inurb:
This Gingerbread update is terrible.

You can no longer horizontally swipe the notification bar to dim or brighten the screen.

The soft menu and back button always stay on when the screen is on.

After the update the notification bar force closes and the only way to resolve this is to perform a factory wipe

The browser is unusable. Scrolling is choppy and gif images no longer load.

Overall this is the worst update I've experienced I wish I could go back to 2.2.1

Is it possible for me to go back to 2.2.1?

Stay away from this gingerbread update you'll regret it.

Oh and Super One Click doesn't work on this latest update.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] jbdroid:
But if what I read about JVB is all true, I think JVB is just JVK renamed and released through Kies. Nothing different.

JVK is XEU-based so I am not that eager to wait for the official version. :D

But really, 2.3.3 is worth flashing over 2.2.1, atleast for me. :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Idan73:
Cause with the last update they ruin the only thing giving it an edge over stock and that is cached last page so that you can go back instantly and on the spot you left. Now it reloads just like the stock and it sucks.

So now Miren is only good alternative.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dmesg:
My review is short: it's exactly the same as JVK.

If you applied all the fixes to JVK (kernel/ext4/multitouch/backlight, etc), there's no point to waste time repeating it all on JVB.

Battery life looks about the same (not good), speed is also more or less the same.

GPS lock is very fast, just like with JVK.

People who report different results with JVB are probably under placebo effect.
