Boy $omator, you are very patient with these cry babies...

Very difficult for other newbies to become confident when some are spreading mis-information about battery/fc issues when they give no background as to how they got themselves to that point.

Regarding putting jvo on phone, is a factory reset better before or after flashing?

Is davlik cache wiped after flash?

Are battery stats still present from previous firmware? I have found that the battery stat delete app in the market really made a huge difference for me after flashing.

Thanks for your time.

Does JVO have Romanian in the general languages?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jodroidbcn:
I downloaded the firmware using CheckFUSDownloader.

Now what?

I've flashed several times with ODIN in the past, but I had always 3 files (PDA, MODEM, CSC). What I got from CheckFusDownloader contains a single .tar and a SS_DL.dll.

Anyone would be kind enough to explain how I use Odin with a single file (the .tar)?

Also, what am I supposed to do with SS_DL.dll?

Thanks.

BTW, I read the whole thread, and checked the FUS threads and FAQs, and if it is there, I've missed the answer.

Hey i new to this, i have a UK I9000 (vodafone network) but unbranded, that i recently updated to JVO on kies. I had my phone replaced by samsung due to battery issues. but my new one seems to be the same. I can just about get 14 hours or so of use out of it. I have brightness set to outo, auto sync on, have one gmail and an exchange email that is pushed, also am on 2g/3g auto. i keep reading that people are getting 2days out of their battery on stock. i would say that not a heavy user!! i just use it to check my mail, a bit of facebook and news on the net/app, 10 texts and 10min call. Could some pple who also are in the uk come back to me with some numbers to how long their battery lasts, could do with some advide!i am unsure if i should flash to custom? thanks

I have been reading about this battery problems with Gingerbread, no experience of it myself.

Last Sunday I went to bed with my phone near 100% charged, left it in flight mode. In the morning I had 50%, the blue line going down pretty steeply. According to battery stats virtually all eaten up by «Android OS».

I asked myself	what did I install yesterday? The answer was Skype. I uninstalled Skype and the blue line is flat again.

So this is my feed back, for all its worth...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] markdj57:
Daran, I'd just do a factory reset and install the stock jvo firmware with odin.

Use battery calibration app and you should get a full day. I'm getting about 24hrs on a good day and about 14hrs on a heavy use day with an hour of wifi surfing.

The biggest drain is using data over 3g so try diaabling that and using wifi only to see how you go.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
biggest drains come from: wifi / gps / data over... / display / hd games :)

2. Live wallpapers: Beach, Aurora, Blue sea

Added: (i think)

1. Calling via Stereo Headset(no mic) - (on froyo it was only enabled when i installed SpeedMod)

Problems, kinda.

1. Weaker Wifi reception

2. looses GPRS/3G/HSDPA intermittently, but not frequent

Three UK upgrade to Gingerbread on Galaxy S I9000

Has anyone upgraded a Three UK (H3G) branded Galaxy S to Gingerbread via Kies ?

Was something lost during the upgrade (apps, settings, contacts, schedule...) ?

Was it smooth via Kies?

Any recommendation?

I've heard about issues on previous Android versions like lags, GPS, etc... is it all solved on gingerbread?

Thanks!

Rogerio
[Galaxy S I9000 General] markdj57:
I used odin as i was using the nordic js8 firmware previously.

If your contacts are on the phone only then I would backup all contacts to kies.

Personally, I have all my contacta synced with my google account which means I never lose them and duplicates/edits can be edited online and sync automatically.

To transfer contacts from kies to google account export as csv file from kies then import in gmail/contacts.

The same with schedule - use google so it all stays in the cloud.

You can use appbrain app to sync your apps.

Kies has caused problems with some so I would check that the 3button combo works to get into download mode just in case. There is a safe and simple method to enable 3button combo.

If there are issues the first thing to do will be to do a factory reset so a backup is a must.

There is a 3 app in the market so going to stock samsung firmware is no problem if you do use odin.

Hope this helps

I have Skype installed (but I don't use it) on my JVK and my battery still last 15-18 days on GSM

some tips about this Android OS problem, if you have been using your phone heavily for the past 2 months, you should try,

charge full, turn off and charge again until full, enter CWM and clear cache, dalvik cache and wipe battery stats.

it should not drain anymore.

i dont get any kies updates, why?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
call samsung and ask
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Montala:
Is this after you have upgraded to JVO?

If so, it could be because the CSC code has defaulted to the KOR (Korean) setting.

I fixed this on mine simply by entering *#272*IMEI#* on the dial screen (where IMEI is your long IMEI number), and then selecting XEU from the list.

The phone then reset and rebooted itelf, and all was well again. Kies now tells me that I have the latest version installed.

Make sure though that have backed up all your new Apps etc first though, as you might have to install them again!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] DaRkMyk:
what firmware version are you using?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] eric75004:
Well,

I flashed XWJVO a few days ago, and i'm amazed by the battery life and GPS performance.

This version of device canot be updated ?!?!?!?!?!?!

I've got ORA UK branded galaxy s but have changed device code from ORA to XEU to get clean update. But now when trying to update with kies got this message "This version of device canot be updated".

Kies is spooffed to XEU and phone is XEU (via CSC changer)

Kies says current JF3 XEUand offering JPY XEU and then got the message- why?

Please Help!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Cyberdyne systems:
I had that message when i first got unbranded XEU Froyo using the Kies spoofer, found out it was because the phone had defaulted to KOR. Although you have changed your code the firmware would still have been an Orange version, so maybe this is where the conflict is? You might need to flash using odin unless you can figure out why the spoofer is not making kies think your on XEU going from JPY
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Zajec5:
You can always try to change to XEU manually. Note, that your data will be wiped!

*#272*IMEI# (replace IMEI with IMEI ;) )
[Galaxy S I9000 General] DaRkMyk:
Download SpoofFW from the market and change everything Product Code, PDA, Phone & CSC. Then update normally via Kies.

how does one find out what their CSC code is? I'm sure at some point I saw my phone was on KOR but I can't find it again!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Montala:
As you presumably want to change it anyway, if you enter the code given by Zajec5 a couple of posts ago, that will disply the version of the code you are currently on.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] DarrenCarnall:
didn't he say that wipes your phone though? I've finally got mine all set up again and would only want to do that if I definitely found I was on the wrong one, and if there was a reason to change (I'm having an odd 3G problem when I turn wifi off where I get no 3g data... until I turn 3g off and back on again)

otherwise I'd probably just leave it. But I couldn't even find out how to check what it's set as lol

Is there a code you can do that just tells you what you're on, as opposed to goes straight into change it? cheers :)

Has anyone done a factory reset on JVO? I simply let it upgrade over my settings and everything seemed great at first, with a 25% increase in battery life.

Now that increase has gone, lags creep in from time to time and I'm noticing artifacts from Froyo, like the old blue "reading SD card" icon.

Thoughts?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Montala:
I thought that the 'experts' tell us that the first thing we should do after installing a new ROM is to perform a factory reset.

That was what I did when I went back to JVO, so am not really in a position to comment on what would have happened if I hadn't actually done so!

I know it means re installing everything again, but that seem to be the recommended practice also.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] amwebby:
I have always done a factory reset too. This time I didn't because, for the first time, all my installs and settings survived an upgrade and I only noticed an improvement in performance.

I'd be interested to hear what others have done.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
as for Factory Resets on GB i suggest installing 3 file froyo first and makin factory reset there and then instaling 3 file gb on it and another fr there to be safe
[Galaxy S I9000 General] {Angel}:
That's overkill imo. Just factory rest whatever you have now, then odin flash your gb rom, or flash with cwm, most cwm updates do a wipe before flashing so a factory rest in this case may not even be needed but it won't hurt.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
fast test

if after factory reset

youve got some apps autostarting or apps at all that were instaled

prior to factory reset that means it did not went well and you might need my way to deal with it

never investigated what was the cause - was it my modications and experiments or was it firmware/root caused

i just came up with this way for install to fast deal with it =)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] amwebby:
Bizarrely my battery life has now returned to normal.

I'm not about to do a full battery reset just yet but wondered if anyone who has could enlighten me as to the reading SD card icon?

[Galaxy S I9000 General] dleeming:
I also have the blue/white icon for the media update, even after a factory reset.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] amwebby:
I've now performed a factory reset. As you say, the blue icons are still there, as is the occasional lag. I'll be monitoring the battery use.

Just upgraded here in Australia via kies, (MY PHONE IS A UK UNBRANDED RELEASE) had no issues at all. Dont think it matters where you download kies from as i got mine from samsung mobile australia website. Seems pretty good so far, battery drain issues seems to be gone maybe!? Phone has been disconnected from the data cable for about 15-20 minutes, and still sitting on 100%. Normally drops by 1% by now. Facebook notifications and texts coming though at the same time and not seeing a drop in battery. Will monitor some more for any other bugs but this is looking promising again, JVK was good, i think this is better ;) might root when chain fire root available for JVO!

Can someone help a noobe out with the steps to this upgrade please

1. I have a rooted/lag-fixed i9000 international NOT from UK running 2.2 Froyo

2. I downloaded what I understand is the 2.3.3 UK release using this command

CheckFusDownloader_v0.5.exe -dl I9000XXJPY/I9000OXAJPY/I9000XXJPY/I9000XXJPY XEU

3. I now have a zip file with these files:

KVO_JVO_JVO.tar

& SS_DL.dll

Questions

1. I have never used odin, but I thought Odin expected seperate files for kernal/phone/cdc/gsm. So how do I use those two files with ODIN?

2. I have read elsewhere that before upgrading from Froyo to gingerbread, because of the Froyo kernal I first need to upgrade the kernal via JBY or some other ROM. (I may have this confused). Can I upgrade directly from Froyo to 2.3.3?

3. Do I need to unroot?

4 Do I need to un lagfix?

5. Should I remove sim/external sd card?

6. Will everything in memory be wiped out? If so will I be able to use my Titanium backup to restore everything or do I have to reinstall everything myself.?

7. Assuming I need 3 button access to download mode?

Sorry for all the questions, but coming from a windows phone where upgrading was trivial to android ---- the more I read the more confused I have gotten. No two threads have the same instructions it seems.

Thanks for any help you can give.
