@marco

These values are controlled by /lpm.rc. I and Spacebar have already tried setting these values but they dont survive a reboot :( Hence I concluded for kernel.

@jcbalunsat

Will try that. I have the cables at home. Now going for tests.

@everyone

I request everyone here not to quote such long messages or till it is necessary. Just @xxxxx should be sufficient. It keeps thread clean and readily searchable. Thanks !

come on help me.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] shadez08:
I dont know if this will help (I sold my GT-i9003). But all those who're facing issues should try rebooting in Recovery/Bootloader mode and then choose Wipe data/Factory Reset and Wipe Cache Partition before flashing the new XXKP7.

Alternatively, those who wish to roll back to FroYo can try following it. Ideally, it should help.

Installed SetCPU.

The Phone is very responsive.

No SOD till now (Almost 8 Hrs).

Could some else also verify this.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sakindia123:
i followed rex's tip and never get an sod(more than 72 hours):D
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ryouza:
i've used rex's trick to avoid sod,and i admit i think is the best option to avoid problems with this new firmware, but this solution is temporary... i lock always the phone manually, but if i put the phone and don't use it for hours, then sod may occur in a variable amount of time. i think that widgets or other kind of software that prevent deep sleep mode may be useful, but battery drain will became problematic, and so no way... i revert back to froyo.. phone works better, even if camera is working as usual with gingerbread, and so do the video player: sometimes hngs the phone, no video player or camera software different from default samsung work, and camera sometimes doesn't work, i need to reboot phone to see it working.

here is the bootloader problem, hence noone finds a froyo bootloader for this phone, problem in dowgrading are these. i msut admit that flashing gingerbread was a mistake, and i'm thinking of repartition the phone and send to service to repair and put original firmware back online.

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jcbalunsat:
Reflash using XXKB3. It's as simple as that. Wipe all the data after doing so. How did you check that you cannot connect or use 3g at a specified band?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rex4u:
Try disabling both idle and off mode.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] marco9333:
There is another file in the same folder voltage_off_while_idle... I'll try to disable it too if I've another SOD with idle and off mode disabled...

When you connect the phone with usb cable to computer you can hear the sound as normal... but if someone try to call you during a SOD the phone doesn't ring... :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rex4u:
Nope. I would not suggest you to do that.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] marco9333:
@rex

We can change the function of a button just editing the files in system/usr/keylayout/ ... now I think that maybe we are interested in sec_power_key.kl that manages the inputs from home and power buttons..

On the android's source guide it's reported the default structure of these files:

SCANCODE is a number, KEYCODE is defined in your specific keylayout file, FLAGS ... We have two kind of flags that maybe can interest us WAKE and WAKE_DROPPED...

Here the differences between these two :

WAKE: When this key is pressed while the device is asleep, the device will wake up and the key event gets sent to the app.

WAKE_DROPPED: When this key is pressed while the device is asleep, the device will wake up and the key event does not get sent to the app.

Volume keys are set to WAKE, so power and home button... I'll try to change them to wake_dropped because i've just had another SOD...

Can you check them? :D

SOD

@kenang83:

You're experiencing SOD (Standby Of Death). Later this week another Gingerbread ROM is coming that might solve this issue, but for now follow rex4u's suggestion, and I quote:

"

1. Remove all battery status widgets.

2. Set Screen timeout to 10 min.

Reboot after 10 sec of doing these two.

"

I followed it and haven't had SOD in a few days now. You have to lock the screen manually though by pressing the power button (a minor hassle), since 10 min is too long. Also it is suggested that turning packet data off might help.

Cheers.

I LOST MY STOCK ROM!!

Whit xxkb3 850MHZ works fine , i flash GingerBread and reflash xxbk3 and lost 3g 850MHZ.

Before gb all works fine, afther gb i lost 850MHZ.

I NEED BOOTLOAD XXBK3 !!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] kenang83:
Thanks alot your helping let me try......
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
Hey all,

I tested both the XXKB3 modem and the KC1 modem, seemed fine for about 10-12 hours and then random SOD on both. Once during a call on KB3 and once during the phone was left to charge on KC1.

So, I'm pretty sure its a much bigger/deeper issue than just a bad radio module or power management or a combination of both. Also, what I've been observing during the 5 reflashes I've done on this ROM so far, is that the rooting with another method of the pre-rooted ROM is causing system conflict of some manner.

Its really tough to pin this down to one single cause and, to solve this, the whole ROM has to be stripped apart, which is nigh on impossible and just not worth it.

I've read all your replies since my last visit (I was out for the weekend ;)) and I can see similar experiences occurred to everyone.

And the samfirmware tweet kind of confirms that all these issues have been poked at Samsung and thus the immediate release of a new version. Good and bad if you asked me. Good because we'll get rid of the obvious issues (hopefully) and bad because it wasn't even a beta ready ROM. Sure, it was great on most counts, but basic bugs which practically render the phone unusable are not acceptable.

That said, I'm not going to complain at all, I'm happy to serve as a Samsung test-bench as long as they keep releasing updates at a fair pace. :D

Edit: BTW, I read up a lot of stuff on this all over and the conclusion I'm at is, its not within my scope to get a fix for this. Its a deep-rooted kernel issue, so without knowing the exact source of this bug, its just not possible to fix..
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ivan08v:
i think we need an american firm but in 3 files (like xxkb3) not one .tar file..

i'm in a zone that uses 850mhz (gsm) and i got emergency only..when y force to use only 850mhz band it has no service..it's like it figures on the menu but it's not activated..
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] fooman123:
This was my thought too since reading some of the other threads related our issue on other phones. Though, I see absolutely no harm in exploring the issue as the knowledge gained will prove useful later..

untar it and see for yourself.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] falex007:
Bootloader is just application that loads kernel. That's all. You need correct settings for your APN. To have access to my GPRS I got SMS from my operator with settings and I applied it and now all works well. Just go to website of your operator and look what you have to do to have connection by 3g.

[Q] downgrading from gingerbread to froyo

so i flashed my samsung galaxy s i9003 to the unstable gingerbread. yeah...not liking it so much. in fact, although i can prolly learn to live with da sudden lag while scrolling through menus and switching home screens and da fear that my camera might suddenly fail (like it did once...had to restart my phone), i'd prefer to go back to da stable froyo

now, i'm thinking that if i flash my phone to froyo the exact same way as i did to gingerbread, it might just work. however, i'm kind of a noob at this, so i wanna b absolutely sure this would work

will it?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] donytsang:

850mhz is lost afther flash whit the bootloader file include in Gingerbread.

i think i reflash whit bootloader of xxkb3 , have 3g 850mhz.

Español

Me extraña que ningun usuario avanzado se alla hecho presente en este post, estos que publicaron la rom, ademas no ahi ningun tread que advierta esto que nos paso a los latinos,

si algun usuario encuentra solucion por favor enviar mp o publicar aqui mismo.

Todo funcionaba bien con xxkb3 , luego al flashear con GingerBread perdio coneccion 3g a 850MHZ,

.- He instalado varias rom sin obtener resultados,

.- He intentado fozar el uso de 850MHZ con el codigo *#2263# pero sin resultados.

.- He configurado el APN manualmente de manera correcta.

El problema radica en que segun pienso actualizamos el Bootloader con GingerBread.

Si obtubieramos una rom para America con Bootloader, creo que solucionariamos el problema.

Si alguien puede traducir esto de manera leible lo agradeceria.

Not a bad idea at all! But I was thinking more about Darky and his team, how awesome would it be to have a jet-fast Darky ROM on the I9003? :D

Hey

Did anyone of u with 2.3.4 try this thing??

This was a method posted by Apun on samfirmware forums, do check it out

"Hi…

I am from india. I was facing the same problem(deep sleep) with my phone. But i guess its gone for me, it didnt hang for last one and a half day. Works fine. What i did was remove the external SD card and attach to pc through card reader check it for Memory errors and after that defragment the memory card. I read this procedure on net for HTC HD2 phone tried it on my phone and it worked. try it and its not harmful in any way for the phone. May be it will also work for you. "
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ryouza:
i flashed using every single step of the guide, and all worked well. what deo you missed? it's very hard to brick a phone during flash unless you disconnect phone in the process, you always can revert back mistakes using proper flash and a good firmware, like kb3.

after step 6, what have you done?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] PondaRox:
nothing, because my phone can't do anything. no download mode, no recovery mode, no kies, nothing
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] PondaRox:
ok, so after a truly ridiculous amount of fiddling, i got da phone into download mode. i proceeded to use androidadvices.com's method for updating to kb2 with the kb3 files and my phone is saved! yay! but i guess i can say i won't be flashing again for a while :) (second time i bricked my phone in 2 days, lol)

American firmwares starts with LU the same way europeans starts with XX..there are three USA firms (LU) on samfirmware (same bands to all america) but no one is like xxkb3 with 3 files including boot and so on..are only to flash in pda slot without re partitioning..i think (without advanced experience) thats the problem..i tried also put pit file before and flash tar file of america but phone loops on sansumg..:(
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
Thanks for that pointer mate, but that's one of the very first things I do everytime I flash a new ROM.. I backup the contents to a temp location on the PC, wipe it (Full overwrite) with SD Formatter and then put the stuff back on it.

So, that's pretty much ruled out for me but might still work for someone else.

@vishal I'm already on that.. ;)

Bluetooth issue

hi all,

tried gb on my german i9003, but besides the already reported problems I experienced a serious misbehaviour:

if I connect my stereo bluetooth headset SonyEricsson MW600 and the phone goes to sleep the bluetooth goes to sleep, too! Music streamed to the headset stops and the worst thing EVER: no calls, no rings, nothing!

Please accept my apologies if the above has already been reported but I didn't want to crawl through all pages...

Therefore I reverted back to froyo.
