I have tried them before on Froyo too and none works except Music player which is only Graphically improved.

Still the same :(

Twitter update from SamFirmware

@SamFirmware

Gingerbread rom for i9003 is a beta release version. When we have new roms we will post.

FYI

:rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
The stable official version is expected to be out (leaked) in the next 20 days.. :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] marco9333:
I've mounted system.rfs... In app folder there is an apk called inputeventapp.apk.

With apktool i've dumped it. I had the same file from XXKXC1 and I've dumped it too. Now there are same Inputeventreceiver.smali files in both APKs... I've compared them and there are just 2 different lines...

I'm attaching a screenshot: at left the one from froyo, and at right the one from gb.. can someone check line 239??
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
Interesting! Looks like a little sleeping donut Samsung left in there.. :cool:
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] marco9333:
Today I'd 2 SOD...

:D I've changed my inpunteventapp.apk with the "old and (I hope) working" one five minutes ago... I'll leave my phone on all the night just to check if I have another SOD

The reboot still not working by pressing and holding power button...:(
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
The problem is, that sodding SOD (LOL) is random in its occurrence.It sometimes happens in 10 mins, sometimes 30 mins and sometimes 2 hours! Goddamnit.. :mad: There's no way to be sure unless you haven't had one for about 12 hours and on 2 or 3 reboots in between. :o

Do you get the options popup on pressing the power button? You can select Reboot from there. If you don't get that popup or it doesn't reboot after selecting Reboot, then its a problem..
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] marco9333:
Yes sure... I get the options popup on pressing the power button.. and when I select power off the phone do it as normal... and switch off without problems... I've just retried to be sure...

I can't reboot the phone as the others by pressing and holding the power button for more than 8 seconds... but I think this is another problem.. the "power reset or unknown upload mode" issue still there
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
Okay, that's minor then.. I don't have the "power reset or unknown upload mode", so can't really say what that is.

But this SOD thing really gets in the way, effectively makes the phone unusable on a regular day. Lets see where this goes.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] marco9333:
I think I'll be here again in about 10 hours or more... :cool: My phone will be on all this time and more I hope... :D
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
I hope so too... ;)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] vivekkalady:
Dude

I think the new boot loader is compatible with these applications

that's why they don't work in froyo
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bala_gamer:
Guys do you need any sort of data or file from my mobile?? If so pls dont hesitate to sk me.Im telling this because mine is pretty stable for 2+ days. Till now no sod.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
So you did nothing, its all stock and still stable?

Lucky you.. ;)

Can you let us know the SuperOneClick version, Busybox version, any lockscreen apps you're using, used, installed or removed?

One of those might, just might, be a possible cause for creating a nasty flag somewhere.

Also, what are your screen timeout settings?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
These apps are essentially for the Icecream sandwich version, they're not supposed to work on Froyo anyway. That was a pretty known fact as far as I can remember..
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] fooman123:
it is not bootloader problem.

The bootloaders for XXKB3 are rolled into I9003XXKB3-REV08-PDA-low-CL925667.tar.md5

i.e. boot.bin and Sbl.bin.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] danzig_08:
i just back from samsung center

ask them about the 3g

it just u have to set back manually the apn

go to setting>>wireless and network>>mobile networks>>access points names

go to menu>>new apn

then set apn for your phone provider

if u dont know just call them
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bala_gamer:
Super1Click - 1.9.5

Busybox - 1.17.2

Screen time out - 30 sec

Apps installed:

No Lock , No Lock Screen, WidgetLocker.

Apps Uninstalled:

WidgetLocker.

One more thing i did is disabling packet data, Strongly suspect that could be the cause.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] manu1991:
Looks like there are some bugs. Am gonna stick with XXKB3 till a stable GB port comes out.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] vivekkalady:
Can you recompile the files back to the firmware so that it will also be stable

Is it possible??
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bala_gamer:
Whats the need to recompile the files vivek?? I think some of the files that handles the power management is enough? right? Some file will be handling all the wakeup and screen lock event, so if we find out the file that should be enough.

I dont see a problem in the kernel, only some settings triggering the events should be changed.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] xda2jojo:
always expect bugs with dev version

near perfect fw is the final version....
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] szyslak4321:
Just to confirm there are no issues rolling back to the XKB3 firmware. Re-partitioned first using .pit file and reset then flashed the 3 files for the XKB3 firmware. On first boot I shut down and did a full reset (power on while holding volume up and home button then in the bootloader reset to factory defaults) All running fine again and waiting for a more usable firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] surajram:
Was your packet data on Edge or HSDPA?

I'm running my phone with WidgetLocker 2.1's Easy wake mode enabled, and so far SOD has appeared only when my HSDPA connection is on.

SOD doesnt appear when I'm on WiFi or on Edge. So I've switched Network Mode to GSM only and no SOD yet.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bala_gamer:
@ surajram

Earlier i was on Edge mode only, with network mode set to gsm only.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] surajram:
Oh. Okay.

Will observe and update!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] richy17:
just do a factory reset i will work by accessing to menu---setting---privacy factory data reset i will work fine

Regarding SOD

I found this post on the net.

I am already back with Froyo, so could some body test and report the findings.

That's the same for me. SOD occurs only when Packet Data is on. There is no problem rest of the time, even on Wi Fi.

Can others confirm?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] vivekkalady:
@srideep

If this is the situation

Then try juicedefender

Turn on packetdata then lock the screen

Then try whether SOD occurs

Great FAQ!

But add that to have camera works with XXKB3 fw should be flashed twice too

Sent from my GT-I9003
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] zairyn:
hi,

I've been having problem with my camera recently, after downgrade back to froyo, the camera always force close. I've reflash with froyo for 5 times now, after done with flashing i seems to be ok but after i root it and install so many application it started to force close and hang. Please help..
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
Bala, I flashed it fresh again today. Re-did everything. Then turned off data. No SOD in the last 12 hours! EDGE or HSDPA doesn't matter, I had the SOD on both as the network often auto-switches between the two depending on the area I'm in and the connectivity strength.

So yes, disabling mobile data seems to keep the SOD away. I'm having to use my phone like my SE P1i three years ago, enabling data when I need and disabling it before putting phone to sleep. :(

But hell, the SOD's gone for now! :D

I'd like to add that I'm on stock lockscreen and haven't installed any third-party lock apps.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
Good job there geeza! :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:

Updated the GB Tuto thread aswell, thanks for the info spacebar :D!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] poolakkal Suresh:
Guys, even suppose if the sod issue is solved, still is it worth updating with this fw? since main additional features of GB are missing. No significant improvements in comparison to our existing fw. Hope a next stable GB version will come with all that features.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
Cheers and thank bala too, he discovered it.. :)

It is a great deal worth upgrading if you ask me! And what do you exactly mean when you say additional features of GB are missing? USB OTG?

Improvements over XXKB3 are pretty apparent. Phone is a lot more faster, snappier, video formats have expanded, HD video playback is super-smooth, lot more free system memory and this f/w is pretty stable except for the SOD, which we're looking at for a solution soon.

Oh and did I mention the significant improvement in audio quality after using Equalizer as it supports the new api in Android 2.3+ :D
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bala_gamer:
Guys small help , im in need of original framework res files from gingerbread... Wrongly tried a theme which is meant for froyo :D

EDIT :

Pushed it back from the rom.. thanks folks

Did you tried that Equalizer app??? Its amazing. I think there is no need for voodoo sound after using this...
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jesrani:
Getting tempted to upgrade to GB but afraid to get SOD.

Hope all you guys are able to solve the problem soon.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rex4u:
Faulty Radio ???

Hmmm...so the Modem(Radio module) is faulty triggering Power Management failure and SOD. Can somebody compare the Modems ? I can't sit on my system for sometime.

Regarding Equaliser app I had a very different and disturbing experience. It produced another kind of SOD in which even keys did not even light up. Phone felt like dead. Removed it and now it's ok. Anyone else had similar experience ?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
Did you check your PM?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rdr_m:
Macro dude are u still sod free???if so can u share with us exactly what u did.if possible step by step.gettin really tempted to flash gb.turnin the ap off is a temp sol.bt what if i m dloadin sumthing big,wont it go into sod then???
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
No voodoo needed mate.. Its already awesome.. :D

And this coming from a sound professional, you can take my word! :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
No mate, Equaliser hasn't given me any issues yet. Why are you getting a SOD (or SOD2 should we say :mad:) from that? Really strange :confused::confused:

And please check PM. Radio module indeed is the rat I guess!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
I'd suggest you to wait till we nail the SOD..
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bala_gamer:
has already been Nailed for 3 days till now :D
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rex4u:
Not nailed just a workaround. What's use of a powerful Android device without data connectivity ?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bala_gamer:
@rex

U are right rex. As my gprs plan expired I'm not facing any problem. But people using gprs will suffer.

Anyone noticing excessive battery usage by the display while running 2.3.4?

I can hardly get by 8 hours of usage with 2.3.4 :( Will switch to XXKB3 for a few days of travel.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] marco9333:
I've just switched off my phone.. 23 hours without any issues... Tested with wifi and gprs/hsdpa connection no problems... I've switched the screen off with data packets on and wifi connected and after i was able to switch it on again.. I've tried many times and everything went fine... :D

I'm attaching the file I've used... it's from XXKXC1... Just overwrite the original one in /system/app with root explorer, adb or whatelse. For me seems to work but I think that someonelse should try this solution to check if it works always ;)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
Will test it, thanks.. :)

In the meanwhile, we've narrowed it down to a faulty radio (packet data) module (rex suspects the same too), and working on getting a fix for it. It seems to have caused wake-lock issues on a wide range of devices running 2.3+ .

So, its not just limited to our device specifically.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
Battery usage overview.

People asking or concerned about battery life on this ROM, here's a day in the life of my GSL running on XXKP7 ;)

I'm on a HSDPA network. The usage overview that follows is after I charged the device to full and disconnected.

I have kept data switched off apart from the 20 to 30 mins of browsing I did within this time period. (Darn you SOD!)

Usage overview till the time the screenshot was taken:

- About an hour of voice calls.

- About 50 text messages.

- About 90 minutes of music on proper headphones (they take more power than those ear-mints :rolleyes:)

- About 20-30 mins of browsing on HSDPA. (This contributed to most of the drain)

- About 20-30 mins of fiddling with various apps, no games or stuff though.

- No Wi-Fi usage.

As you can see, I still have well over 60% battery life left.

I think this is a pretty good indicator of the battery usage on this ROM and quite frankly, I'm impressed! :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rex4u:
Next challenge - excessive battery drain by display. Any guesses ;-)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rex4u:
Thanks marco !

Will test.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
The power management creep I guess.. :(
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rex4u:
May be. Could also be faulty drivers.

Regarding SOD

Hi Guys,

I had switched back to Froyo XXKB3, but could not control the urge to try gingerbread once more.

It has been 4 hours since, and have had no SOD. I followed spacebar2011's method to the T.

Keeping my fingers crossed and hoping for the best.

[update]

Used it for the whole day.

Kept it aside for 20 mins. No SOD.

Kept it aside for 1 hr. No SOD.

Kept it aside during sleep.

Had SOD when tried the phone in the morning.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Dr.Mahmood:
same >>_<<

I've the same 1st problem.. it's really annoying>>

also regarding to me .. it doesn't support Arabic yet.

Overall I really like it but at the mean time I'm gonna switch back to 2.2.1 ;)

waiting the problem to be solved :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] manishnraj:
I was playing youtube video because of some work I paused to see it later

due to sod I manually locked the screen when I returned

"kernel panic upload mode" was written on the screen

took out the battery and restarted

any solution regarding this issue
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] marco9333:
I've just had my first sod after 38 hours... I did 2 reboots during this time just to check... My packets data is off but my battery level is very low... I think this time the problem for me is the battery level and there is something wrong (as you and rex said) in power management and/or maybe in modem part... I'm gonna try to flash only the modem part from froyo ...

edit

I've just flashed phone part xxkc1... trying this too now...
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] marco9333:
I think this article is interesting

http://elinux.org/Android_Power_Management

It's about power management and there is a feature interesting about battery life too...

@rex @spacebar

can you check a powermanagement file in /sys/power called wake_unlock? "keyevent" is in the list...

we can disable deep sleep mode...

I've found a quick guide... Just write "echo 0 > /sys/power/enable_off_mode" without quotes in the terminal emulator or adb and press enter. In this way the phone are prevented to go into deep sleep but i think will be same problems about battery drain...

disabling deep sleep mode with that command doesn't work in our device.... :(
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
I quite like that ;)

Check PM btw..

Lets us know if you find anything unusual apart from SOD with data enabled.

That happens anytime you keep the power button pressed for more than 5 to 8 seconds.

We'll look into that soon. Its not causing any serious issues as of now.

Well damnittt!! :mad::mad::mad:

After going through a bunch of stuff regarding this wake lock bug, one thing I can say is that the inputeventapp has little or no effect on the device. many have removed that package without any issues.

The SOD is caused most definitely by a faulty Radio module which in turn messes with the power management and thus causes the SOD and the unusual battery drain issue.

And I will take a look at the "deep sleep" thing you pointed out. thanks for that. Although rex did take a look at the low power module and I tried to edit too, in vain!

A lot of reading needs to be done, so lets join forces and get this ***** nailed.. ;)

I'm gonna dedicate my Sunday afternoon to this. Hopefully. we'll have a fix by Monday. Fingers and toes crossed.. :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] nomeyamo:
I'm not able to mount loop devices with this ROM (to use Debian). Is anyone else having this problem?

The kernel config file has the option CONFIG_BLK_DEV_LOOP=y so I really don't know what is happening.

Edit (found the answer)

# CONFIG_EXT2_FS is not set

# CONFIG_EXT3_FS is not set

# CONFIG_EXT4_FS is not set

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] marco9333:
:( Bad news... really bad news... Everything was fine after the flashing of old phone part... wifi, packets data and so worked perfect... since two hours ago... I'd a SOD, I've restarted phone, I've received a call... another SOD... :mad: All in 15 minutes... I think we can be pretty sure that the problem is in power management or at least in pda part... Searching on internet I've found a workaround used in other android devices: a free app in the market avoids phone to go into deep sleep and so the screen goes off but ram, cpu still working as normal. In this way there is no possibility to get a SOD because the phone is always "awake", but the battery drains very quickly... :(
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jcbalunsat:
So it's not the data part then? it's really in the power management? can you share this app for us to try and check to verify. thanks for the heads up marco.

I think this is useful.. particularly these lines

" Enabling system for hitting retention during idle

#echo 1 > /debug/pm_debug/sleep_while_idle

Enabling system for hitting OFF

#echo 1 > /debug/pm_debug/enable_off_mode

By default sleep_while_idle is set to false and enable_off_mode is set to true "

and

"In beagle and am35x platforms there is no keypad connected to the main board. So wake up is not possible by pressing keys"

maybe we have the same problem despite different motherboard...

Checking these files sleep_while_idle is set to 1 instead of 0, and enable_off_mode to 1 as it has to be...

I think the phone with these setting goes to an idle status, then goes sleeping and after that to deep sleep (enable_off_mode=1), the cpu goes off and the only way to switch it on again is rebooting.. I've changed the first value setting it with default setting and I'll test tomorrow if it works... :D

For everyone interested on tvout feature, in init.rc file, the last line is " # start tvout " but it's written as a comment because of the simbol #. Maybe someone can try it if he or she has the right cable just deleting the #.. and hoping the drivers for it are installed and working :D
