GPS Navigation

I'm using Sygic Mobile Maps 10.Running pretty smooth.
[General Questions and Answers] mystvearn:
I just bought my first smartphone, so now I have 3 phones. I have a k750i and a W810. I thought selling them would be good, but I found the prices online were <£10 which does not seem worth it. Rather than keeping them unused, I thought I used them as a clock in the kitchen.

When you press the volume rocker when the phone is in lock mode, you see the time. Is it possible for the time to be displayed there permanently? I think you can make the screen stay on forever to display the time, though I am not sure how fast the battery will drain. There are wallpapers which show the clock if I am not mistaken but that involves actively lighting the LCD. I don't mind flashing it to any OS to display the time as the phones are quite old now though the SE W810 looks like new.

Any suggestions what the old phone is good for aside from an alarm clock:D?

[OFFTOPIC] SGS2 is a total disappointment... "Important" functions NOT working...

I read about all the features of the phone, it all got me very excited but some things are not working...

First of all, it doesn't bring me beer when I use vlingo and say " get me beer"

Second of all, Crysis 2 is not running at all. Phone's not that fast..

Last point: I put my phone into airplane mode, threw it in the air.....

Worst transformer ever..... :(

The rest is working pretty damn fine, so its maybe not a total failure. What are you disappointed about?
[Galaxy S II General] XDA mark:
First I was like "Hahaha.. NOT" but after a few seconds I started laughing at your post xD

I have not been blessed with a GS2 yet, still waiting. The only thing I could be disappointed about is: build quality/how it actually feels in (my) hands. Further the TouchWiz and Battery life are two things I am semi-worried, but you know TW can be replaced by custom launcher or ROM and Battery life should be decent with tweaks.
[Galaxy S II General] Stitch!:
Build is better than it looks, but the same goes for the sgs1. Dropped mine once and nothing to see, wiped the grains off and no damage at all. For the sgs1 you could buy stronger backplates and the same will go for this phone, looking at its sales. Samsungs internal build quality is actually one of the best in the business so I wouldn't be to worried. Touchwiz 4 is quite nice. Huge improvement over tw3, still I ditched it within 2 days. Launcherpro all the way for me;)
[Galaxy S II General] MoD85:
It's so thin, i can barely see it, wait...

because the thing i am disappointed is, that we still not have it here in Germany.

We should get this Phone about the same time as UK, but forget it. We are still waiting for that. Most of the people are ordering the phone in UK or Austria because they have it already and not only that, they still get new charges.

I like this Forum and i would like to make some Tweaks on this phone too, but i don't even know when I can get it. :mad::mad:

[Galaxy S II General] Sp1tfire:
Well, being a former WM user and owner of a HTC Touch HD, my biggest problem is battery life. Android rocks, but charging the phone daily sucks. Hopefully it will last 2 days when i'll finally get bored and won't play with it every second that i'm awake :o Not bothered about the yellow tint (if i have it) cause i don't see it even though my eyeballs almost popped out trying to see the difference everybody complains about. Can't see the pink camera spot either. So either i'm very poor sighted or i like to think i have an almost perfect phone. And the good thing is that i can make scrambled eggs on it when it gets hot. Oh, yeah, i remembered something does bother me: it kinda looks like a cheap phone with that crappy back cover, but i bought a flip-it leather case, so people won't see that i have a 500 euros phone with such an ugly plastic back cover :eek:

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kipdeontdekker:
Hi people,

I don't know if it's me, or just my lack of knowledge as to topics on this problem..

I have Rooted my Galaxy-s because i didn't want the lot of standard apps, that worked really well..

After this i used KIES to update to Android 2.2.1, works fine!

Now i've been waiting for Gingerbread for so long, and according to Android, i should be able to update Over The Air.. but noooo..

KIES keeps telling me i have the latest Firmware installed.. but it clearly isn't..

My conclusion: i think i can't update because my phone was Rooted? PLEASE correct me if i'm wrong, which i hope to be the case..

I've tried factory reset on my phone but of course it stays Rooted..

Do i need to UNROOT my phone? Can't remember which programme i used to Root it so that doesn's help :(

Is it me, or am i just unlucky.. or maybe i just don't know enough about Rooting?

So, can anyone tell me how to install Gingerbread on my Rooted Galaxy S ?

Currently its running Android 2.2.1, Smallbandversion (whatever that means) is I9000XXJPY

Build number: FROYO.XWJS5

Sorry if this is the 100th topic on this, but i really digged a lot throuh other topics..

Loads of thanks in advance!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mossy1963:
No, nothing to do with being rooted - won't make any difference.

Firstly ota updates not activated for sgs yet (ever?). Official updates are only available via kies dependent on your region and carrier, so you may be running the latest firmware for your combination of phone, region and carrier. gingerbread has only been released for a couple of nordic countries so far. if all goes well the rest of europe are expecting a general release very soon.

For the rest we are dependent on spoofing kies into thinking we are in region NEE (FINLAND) or flashing via odin. So you either spoof kies, flash via odin our sit tight and wait. But ota definitely not

As i thought, thanks to both!! I was a bit worried i c*cked up my phone there, but this tells me it's again down to lazyness on Android or Samsung's side..

I've been waiting so long so i got impatient and shovelled trough about all of the topics, but now combining your two replys, i think ill have a go with the NEE version then?

Beeing in Holland we'll just have to make do with a nice Finland version then :( that will make it interesting since Finnish is THE most weird written language there is, what with all the iiiimouyoniiisuomi and all :) but i trust it to have an English layout as well?

Ehm, i don't know the meaning of the term "Spoofing", is that a way to crack Kies somehow?

Again, BIG thanks to you! I will try the link and hope for the best, if it won't work i'll just have to be patient (so more).. Good thing beeing in Holland there are means to alter perception of time.. :)

Thank you guys!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DMD9:
Graag gedaan :)

The NEE version definitely includes English and I'm fairly sure it includes Nederlandse too. Spoofing is a way to fool Kies into thinking you have a different firware/region, I've tried it and find it a messy way to upgrade. Just search spoofing Kies if you want to learn more about it. Personally I use use Odin 1.3, it's very easy to use, first make sure you can access recovery/download using the 3 button combo, and just to be safe, track down a stock version of the ROM your currently on in case you ever need it. JVH is also out now (a newer version, you'll find the thread here easily). I can't see any reason why it wouldn't work for you, just read through the guide a couple of times until you have it straight in your head, and if you're not sure about anything just ask, lots of good people on here willing to help others.

Mmmm lekkere blowtjes.....that takes me back :D

Well i thought maybe ill give my provider a call, after that i called Samsung.. anyway it's a maze of menus and of course none of the official people (who should know) don't know jack sh1t.. Seems like only thing they know is how to get the cash out of your pockets..

good thing the people on this forum DO know what they are talking about!

so adding up your replies above, i still wanna go with the Finnish NEE version, so i downloaded it, and installed Odin 3 on my laptop,

drivers for my phone are allready installed so Odin recognised the device if i connect it in download moce, so far so good on that,

now its down to the PIP, and i think the PDA stuff where i need to select the .tar files.. ??

am i right? i watched the Odin tutorial on youtube 4 times now..

and i downloaded the GT_I9000_XXJVK_XXJVK_OXAJVK_Sbl file, which contains these files when extracted:

-CSC_OXAJVK.tar.md5

-PDA_XXJVK_Sbl.tar.md5

-PHONE_XXJVK.tar.md5

i think this is the Finnish NEE version

so, which files am i missing, and which ones should i load in Odin?

i know this must be getting old but i know you guys can help me talking me through :)

so again, big thanks in advance!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DMD9:
For starters I'd go with JVB or JVH instead of JVK, and as it's your first time flashing I'd use a single .tar version like the one at the top of this post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1037584

or one of these

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1011901

Both have the bootloaders so it's just handier.

You can also join samfirmware.com if you haven't already, plenty of firmwares there.

Once you have the single .tar on your desktop open Odin 1.3, click on the PDA button navigate to Desktop and select the appropriate file, (see pic attached).

Then put your phone in download mode using the 3 button combo and only then connect it to your PC. Wait for Odin to recognise the phone, when it does, press start and just wait for it to do its job. All going well once it's done it will reboot your phone, wait for the phone to finish rebooting before closing Odin and disconnecting.

If you still want to go ahead with the 3 .tar files you've already downloaded then look at the second link in this message, it has a good description of how to flash using the three files :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kipdeontdekker:
that IS very helpful indeed!

now i even know in what order to do everything, its nice you explained it step by step so big thanks for that!

So, doing all steps gives my phone Gingerbead? :)

Im still puzzled as to why are there so many versions like XXJVB, XXJVH and all those? If it's all Gingerbread, does the correct version depend on which country youre in, or is it an updated version, or ar all of there totally different?

I just downloaded the GT_I9000_XWJVB_XXJVK_NEEJV3_Sbl.exe.crdownload

Thats the "NEE", so should work on my device i understand..

so i extracted it in a folder and again there are three .tar files;

CSC_NEE_JV3.tar.md5

PDA_XWJVB_Sbl.tar.md5

PHONE_XXJVK.tar.md5

so im guessing i only have to load the "phone" .tarfile into Odin?

i promise im not a 70 year old man, just a newcomer at flashing :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DMD9:
Ok so you're going with the three file flash, that means that in Odin you click on the PDA button and navigate to wherever you stored the PDA_XWJVB_Sbl.tar.md5 file, click the Phone button and find PHONE_XXJVK.tar.md5, then click CSC and find CSC_NEE_JV3.tar.md5.

BUT....

You are coming from 2.2.1 right? I really think you should use one of the single .tar files in the pic attached as you're so new to flashing, they definitely have the GB bootloaders which you need if you're flashing from Froyo. The pic is taken from the second link I posted earlier. I flashed a single .tar and didn't do a wipe or factory reset and didn't have any problems. Just get the JVB or JVH one and use the method I posted earlier.

I'm using JVB with no problems, but others think JVH is better. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kipdeontdekker:
DMD9 i thank you again for all info you posted!

I will take your advice to use a single file, since all this still feels like blindfolded surgery to me :) and i take it when using 3 files theres more to go wrong?

I downloaded the GT_I9000_XWJVH_XXJVO_NEEJV3_Sbl --like you advised

But if i extract theres these three files in it, so i take it i only need to load the PHONE_XXJVK.tar.md5 in the PDA section ?

Which is the JVK.. the one you didn't reccomend ;)

What makes a this file different from another? is it the features, or some country dependant thing? Or can i use this file, what are the drawbacks on this one?

Big thanks again!!
