[Galaxy S I9000 General] marjoejoejoe:
did you change your modem? try zsjpe and zsjpg, they have flashable zips for CWM.'

if that fails, reflash 9.5, please note to disable any lagfixes you have just to be safe.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] marjoejoejoe:
nice, ill check that out, right now im trying to veer away from ROM's that require a froyo downgrade first then upgrade again to GB...if Simple honey will let me flash from CWM from stock GB then i will try it

MIUI and Cynaogen will require me to do that so ill wait until they can flash from stock GB....
[Galaxy S I9000 General] chrisdavesants:
Only requirement would be bootloader for jvb or jvk.. then after that... flash it... try it... dont forget to thanks simone201...

Share a Load Problem

Hello . . . has anyone experience a bug when using share a load?(changing the phone number prefix)

I have tried sharing a load to one of my contacts. i copied the number in the "To" field replace +63 with 2 and continue with the procedure, it went well, the galaxy s recognized the "copy pasted" number as one of my contacts, and it created a new thread.

However, every time i try to reply to that same contact the number changes from (+63XXXXXXXXXXX) to (2XXXXXXXXXX) and so regular replies acts like share a load messages. And so I have to use new message button than regular replies, I have tried deleting the thread and the issue always come back when i compose new messages . . . i have tried deleting contacts history, and that did not work . . . please help

Salamat

[Galaxy S I9000 General] escadrille07:
Were you able to start a new thread (in messaging) and send a regular reply without having to click new message?

Because in my case I always have to click new message, because whenever i use the message thread reply the message is always sent to the (29XXXXXXXXX) number . . .

I have tried deleting the contact and the phone still remembers the (29XXXXXXXXX) number . . .

I have Stock Froyo 2.2 btw (if that would mean anything)

Thanks for your reply

hello kumusta mga kabayan?

i am a new android convert and i currently have a sony xperia x8 handset. but, i would love to upgrade to the samsung galaxy s i9000 or SL i9003.

however, i need to have a reliable gps app on my phone that will help me keep track of my activities. which brings me to my concern:

how reliable is the gps function of these devices? i have read in this forums that there are a lot of sgs users who had bad experience with the gps.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mikextr23:
In my case whatever the number I used to send SMS on any SMS thread, it takes that same number. Let me explain further. Say I have two numbers saved under john doe name. If I send an SMS to number 'x' of john doe, it will automatically be in its own thread. Now if I send another SMS to john doe but this time using his other number 'y', then it will be save again in its own SMS thread even though both numbers belong to john doe. I'm not really bothered with this. In fact in makes more sense since I don't get confused which number I used to send my SMS to people who have multiple phone numbers. I don't know if that helps you or not. Just sharing my experience. By the way I'm using the latest nightly of cm7 and let me say that I'm pretty impressed! Hats off to all the cm7 devs!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kelvs:
what sort of "activities" do you want to use your gps for ?

i'm not sure the difference in reliability of gps with other devices since i haven't compared with any yet. but from my experience, my i9000 won't be able to pinpoint my exact location, but a few meters off (around maybe 20 meters).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jackrabbit1124:
hi kelvs. i would be mostly using the gps for running. i would mostly need the gps for monitoring my speed and distance basically.

that's a big variance ha? have you tried measuring distances?

how long does it take to get a gps fix? does the gps work everytime you use it? i have a friend with a spica and the gps works sometimes and other times we already finished running but no gps lock yet. that is why i looked into this forum to check for possible gps issues and it seems that samsung is weak in this aspect.

anyway, i have been using a blackberry for a long time and never had any issues with its gps. quick gps fix and fairly accurate.

then i got an android (x8) which also has quick gps fix, slightly less accurate than the bb though but still fairly accurate.

im quite happy with my android and i feel the need to upgrade and the i9000 & i9003 are on the top of my list, but the gps is a deal-breaker for me

EFS Backup?

Um, I know that this is kinda weird to ask, my having already rooted my phone (and flashed it several times), but how to restore the efs files?

I backed them up before rooting, and I've got them all safely tucked away in an external drive. Nothing's wrong with my phone yet, really, but I just wanna know how to fix it if it goes awry.

Thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mikextr23:
Go for the SGS 2 instead then. It's much better in every aspect compared to SGS 1 including the GPS :).

new rom tested:

CM7 nightly.....battery drain is bigger than darky...but feels snappy without any lagfix..

you can choose zach / bilboa kernel..i use bilboa, much more stable and includes voodoo sound (important for me)

questions on flashing this: PM ME

on the Q of GPS...try different modems and then apply the gps fix...can have gps lock in 3 secs...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] marjoejoejoe:
i run, i wouldnt recommend phones for gps, or carrying a phone while running..even if you snap it on your arm....i suggest you save your money and get a garmin for runnning...

JVH

anybody try the new JVH-based ROMs (or the stock one)? I'm curious if it is very stable and has great battery life. I'm still using Darky's 9.5 at the moment. It's OK but I don't like the battery life. I'm just waiting for a stable Gingerbread ROM before I take the leap.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] blazingcaloy:
i think you just have to live by it the battery life i mean, This is not just a Galaxy S problem but a problem for all android phones. . . .afaik GB roms seems stable now compared to thr first release so let loose try a new firmware. . . get the goatrip rom it is one of those battery saver rom.. install stock GB first then CWM3.0 and flash :) enjoy your android
[Galaxy S I9000 General] baldun:
Melvin?

What kernel are you using? For FroYo, I think SpeedMod still has the best battery life... not to mention lot's of features...

He has a Gingerbread preview kernel also (JVH-based) but lacking a lot of FroYo features (BLN and sharpness fix are some which I like most)... After he finalized the features on GB, then I will jump ship. I'm still on Doc's JS8.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] jquint:
After some experimentation, I would say that I get "good enough" GPS capability from my SGS. I find that location and sattelites in view are the prime determinant of signal lock. I live in San Pedro, which is quite hilly, so GPS locks are not very fast or firm. I get a fair lock in Makati. On a recent trip to Lucena City, I had a solid lock for 95% of the 3-hour trip. I also had My Tracks up and running. The frequent GPS checks of My Tracks contributed, I think, to the continuous lock. You might want to check Tracker Booster as well.

I had poor GPS locks in Bangkok (but lots of buildings) and Cagayan de Oro, and fair lock in Taipei, Bacolod. Excellent lock around Lucena City, with 5 meter error.

Details:

Galaxy S, bought in Oct 2010 (I hear there are some hardware fixes after this date),on Froyo 2.2 JPA, using GPS status, My Tracks, and Google Maps. Can achieve 3-7 sec lock when sufficient sattelites are available. On an average day with clear skies and low-rise builidings, can see 4-7 sattelites. On a plain, can see up to 11 satellites. Current GPS settings, S/W test mode, MS-based, hot start. I have set FasterFix to oceania.pool.ntp.org.

As mentioned earlier, you might want to check the SGS 2, which early reports say have better GPS.

Hi guys fellow pinoy here, taga san pedro laguna po mga kabayan. :)

Just want to share, as i noticed a lot of you guys loves darky's rom, (believe me i also do), if you are waiting for his gingerbread rom, i suggest you try out GingerReal

I believe darky would take a while to finish his gingerbread rom, as he is quite busy, and reading on that thread, Darky has collaborated with the devs on GingerReal and has given them permission to use his core,

Although 3.6 was released last night I havent yet tried it out but i am on 3.2 for mga 2 weeks now, and will try to update to the latest release this weekend.

The devs are really active in updating the rom.

Yun nga lang, I'm having doubts kasi 3.6 is running on JVH when the guides says to flash a stock JVB first so I'm awaiting responses from the mods.

Anyways I really suggest to try it out guys, I believe its darky's succesor ROM hehe :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] joseph050607:

it's been a while but now I am back in XDA. Just flashed Euro GB ROM and I can't say I am impressed. Nothing changed.. Guess I my expectations were pretty high..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lockzackary:
hello sir, can I ask what specific ROM you installed? anyway, as far as i know all gingerbread releases for our SGS are leaked versions (save for the JVK versions from where european custom roms were derived.) so I'd really expect bugs when installing them.

Though in my experience, coming from Darky's v10, GingerReal v3.8 works great.

Although i assume its not really about the functionality that you were expecting to work, and yes I admit too that from Froyo to Ginger there isn't that much that changed aside from the new battery usage monitor that shows a graph.

Have you tried the TW4 launcher? Beats all other launchers, in my opinion. That and the SGS2 lockscreen makes it feel like a completely different phone. Admittedly, the lockscreen isn't that much better that the SGS's, but the music widget more than makes up for that shortcoming. I'm on stock deodexed JVH by the way.

If you are using a custom rom then most probably you have that bug. Samsung released the kernel source code with outdated device drivers including those for FFC. Try to use a stock GB rom and you will not have this issue. ;)
