Yeah it happened to me a few times. The screen would just die out, but it was alive for sure. Im guessing the phone doesn't get alerted on notifications. But for me it usually turns out ok after messing with the volume toggles.

As of right now im living the nightmare of FROYO downgraded from GB. Funny part is, Deodex and everything worked fine, Superoneclick aswell. Long ass process but it all succeeded. No SOD on FROYO so far. But yes. I feel the audio volume is low. Same with others?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sakindia123:
yeah this is a bug....plus the power off we cant reboot
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bala_gamer:
You are right about the camera, it first focuses and snaps automatically after finishing the focus
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Sak, You can fix it by flashing with bootloader, all the awkward problems get fixed. But your in the safezone to go back to FROYO if you dont plan to stay in GB too long *Considering you didnt flash the bootloader*.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] manrock111:
waiting...
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sakindia123:
thanks,but i had flashed bootloader...
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] vivekkalady:
Have anyone seen the lock screen???

if We Lock the screen by pressing the power button then it wont wake up

Right???
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Yeap thats the problem were all facing, Funny part is, if you flashed without bootloader, theres no lockscreen issues, but everything else fails. Camera and etc. But if you flash the bootloader, Everything works except the lockscreen. Im starting to think which was worse hahaha.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] trip007in:
Will wait for some more feed backs on SOD problem. That makes the whole FW upgrade worthless for regular use. By the way can you guys check the kernel version?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ronhoover88:
Samsung are lazy thats why they extracted a I9000 gb and ported it to our phone...relax guys this is just a beta...atleast a confirmation of 2.3.4 for our phone...!!! So may be by next month end we'll have full gb without any bugs
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ronhoover88:
Hey trip its a gb version only...but it ends with somethin called test key...so i assume this is the testers version...btw i'm back to froyo...there will be another firmware comin out in the next few weeks!!

Sorry for the double post
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bala_gamer:
I think i9003 is the most luckiest (;)) Phone from samsung in the recent time... It is having updates to 2.3.4 directly within 4 months from the release dates. Even original Galaxy S is having only one 2.3.4 rom as of now
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] trip007in:
@ Bala_gamer nice to see your post after long time. Hope to see SOD issue resolved soon. Can you report the Kernel version?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Sadly our phone is the least loved by Samsung but the opposite for its users. The GB wait is a killer when other phones have had it for months. The wait kills :(. True they're lazy, but I hate how they focus on other phones and disregard the powerhouse potential phones, Kinda like apple.

As for confirmation , Turns out the Bootloader belongs to I9000, Either they tried to port some of the features to the SL series, ---But doesn't that mean that Voodoo Kernel might work seeing as to the phone gets loaded with an I9000 bootbase? If anyone can confirm that
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bala_gamer:
As far as the mkv videos are concerned it plays all the mkv videos that has Main L3.0 format. Other formats such as High l 4.1 and 5.1 are having some issues.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Thanks for the update bala, Really great feedback here

BRB While i cry in joy about how the phone has amazing features now, But at the price of SOD.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bala_gamer:
Hai trip007, Jus today night i got my replacement , and straightaway i flashed it with gingerbread.:D

The kernel version is

2.6.35.7-CL280937

se.infra@SEP-53#1
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sakindia123:
what is the situation of ur kernel bala_gamer?r u planning a gb version?:p
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] alanzed:
Guys,

I cannot find the option "Ask on connection" in USB setting.

I need it to root with superoneclick I guess.

how did you all root the phone?

Shall I select "Mass Storage"?

thanks

ale
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] xenoyosh:
I dont seem to have that issue where you cant re open the phone after going into sleep mode. how long do you have to wait for you to know it is in sleep mode?

testing some things around the device
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bala_gamer:
@ Misledz

Lets start for a solution for that..... Apart from that everything is fine as of now
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
5 Mins at tops, Also

firmware version:i9003xxkp7

kernel version:2.6.35.7-cl280937

se.infra@sep-53#1

build number:gt-i9003-eng 2.3.4 GINGERBRED XXKP7 test-keys.

Edit: Bala beat me to it.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sakindia123:
yes..mass storage..
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] gabuz:
What happen if i rollback to Froyo without having Froyo's bootloader? If i reset my phone to factory setting will it have Froyo's bootloader? Please answer my question.. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] alanzed:
thanks a lot!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] trip007in:
@bala_gamer thanks for the reply. You mean to say you had screwed your phone and got it replaced? Immediately took a chance with flashing a new FW, which is not official, you are a diehard:D:D:D:D:D
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] surajram:
The phone put out a kernel panic after 10 mins of being Idle.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ronhoover88:
There is no problem just follow krazy's thread and flash I9003XXKB3...No need of a bootloader
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ephraim:
Guys, all of you are talking about SOD.. what is it by the way?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] alanzed:
Guys,

just rooted now.

BTW, my situation is:

- I have only flashed it once (with bootloader)

- I had no problem with reboot

- I had problem with camera (black screen) but after a reboot is ok

- root just worked fine and no crash has happened or so...

- so far no SOD problem

Only problem is that Gtalk video is not there... and thats the ONLY reason why I flashed GB
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bala_gamer:
Oh overclock kernel module??? As for now i dont want to think about it, just today i got my brand new replacemnt from the mobile shop itself after the failure of my first mobile.(I think i jus burnt the motherboard by using some wrong voltages :p)

im very lucky to get a replacement this fast and also for a fault of mine.. But ill surely post my progress here, so that someone can continue the work..
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Thats what im doing, Well if you don't want to take the risk, I'll give you a feedback in a few hours 6-10 tops if anything awkward has happened on the rollback. And yeah i downgraded from GB to FROYO without any bootloader. Also reseting your phone to Factory only makes the data disappear like it was sold in a shop. Clean and ready to be sold/configured. The boot remains the same.

@bala, At this point I don't know where to focus on, The solution to SOD in GB or if something is wrong with the phone after bringing it back to FROYO *with bootloader of GB*. I did however leave a note for kkrraazzyy about the kernel details.

I am however left confused with

a- If i plan to reflash back to GB will i be needing the bootloader to be reflashed.

b- I can't quite remember what bootloader of FROYO i was on, If anyone can clarify bootloader for XXKB3 would be nice.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bala_gamer:
Dude thats really a big story :o I didnt even checked whats the stock version on my replacement, as im following samfirmware in twitter, i got excited about the gingerbread last night. I spent most of my day in the mobile shop waiting for replacement and atlast got in tonight.................. Straightly gingerbread.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] gabuz:
oke thanks, i'll wait your feedback while i'm downloading DXKE1.. :D:D:D
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] orcunece:
I've flashed (twice) without bootloader but my camera and power button works fine. Strange thing is i have experiencing lockscreen issues too. My phone doesn't wake up after the deep sleep.

:confused: :confused: :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] xenoyosh:
Just a little update. After waiting for quite a while leaving the phone on its own (and instructing everyone not to txt me for a short while) The phone went off on its own like usual and after leaving it that way for more than 10 min, the device went back to normal when i pressed the power key.

BTW i would also like to know what SOD means. Sorry for being a noob.

I will report any further issues I encounter with the rom. I am sick and cant work for a few days so I have the time to test things out. :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ronhoover88:
a- you have to flash the gb bootloader again

b-you dont need a boot loader to flash XXKB3 but use the tools and pit file you used for flashing XXKB3 only
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Thanks for the feedback @orcunece, At this point it gets easier to narrow down if double or single flash changes anything, Looks like a single flash and a reboot should fix everything. Good news for you though, If you dont like GB, You can fall back to FROYO without any issues. Just reflash your firmware of choice.

@xeno, It means Screen Of Death. BSOD was the popular term for Blue Screen of Death, Which windows 95 had ages ago!

@roon, You have a point but i noticed when you flash back, The bootloader remains the same, The firmware changes but not the bootloader..Which kinda puts me on edge
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
Update status:

OKay guys, done with the flashing and its been an hour since. As expected, camera did not work after 1st flash, but power button reboot worked fine.

After second flash, everything seems to work pretty fine.

The reported SOD is absent (thankfully!) and to test I left the phone untouched for 15 mins. Came back on as it should on button press.

GPS is working as usual.

Everything else is working, all the usual apps are fine. I haven't yet restored my apps from TB though but I don't think that'll cause any new problems.

The basics seem to be all healthy. I've not tried to connect it to KIES as I don't give a monkey's arse about it.. :p

The biggest disappointment for me yet is that F*#&ing Samsung decided to do away with the "bounce and glow" effect (you know, the one which you see when you reach the end of a scrolling list?) of GB.. WTF!! :mad:

They've also removed the super-cool CRT screen on/off effect. What a bunch of retarded dicks should work at Samsung to do something like that! :mad::mad::mad:

Anyway, I'll get those back in the next few days.. suck that Samsung!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] trip007in:
Please lock your phone using power button. leave it for 10-15 mins and try to wake it up by pressing power button. If it works without any problem you dont have SOD.

I think it could be mostly related to Kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ephraim:
Same here with the SOD thing dude.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Nightwish sgsl:
HI, i flashed to gingerbread.but my camera isnt working.black screen on camera.how to solve this problem?help please
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bala_gamer:
One more find!!! This rom comes with flipfont pre installed .... and having the default 3 fonts.. in the future we can add more fonts
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bala_gamer:
Reflash with odin and select all the 4 files
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Wait..We had the CRT screen thing? I saw that on Nexus and LOVED THAT ****! I didnt know FROYO had that, How and where do you get that, Its epic sexy!

Bounce is awesome. But then again, This GB update looks like a lab rat for the I9000. Probably tested the flaws on SL to make sure 9000 was still top notch

@Bala HAHAHAHA, He just came from a 6 page long thread on bricking his GB update. And now you asked him to reflash. Professional skills sir. You win.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Nightwish sgsl:
i already flashed with these 4 files. will reflash exactly solve it?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sakindia123:
another find is that rom is pre deodexed and pre rooted as it is a dev version
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] xenoyosh:
Thanks! after a quick search through google I found out what it meant. Should have tried that first. hahaha

Right now I am testing the diff types of lock screens and see if there are any issues that may occur. be back in a bit
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] alanzed:
I just rebooted and it worked fine
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Nightwish sgsl:
try to switch in front camera and it will not wor anymore.

Long Time Screen Sleeping Problem Solved

Guys, i have found the solution for the long time sleep problem after update to gingerbread 2.3.4 of Galaxy SL. Jus go to settings>display>and uncheck the screen timeout. After that you will not face this problem. It works!! :D
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] alanzed:
I'm such a stupid... I took the backup with TB on the internal SD and now after flash is not there anymore!!

shame on me!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rdr_m:
I think if you dont use the power button and leave it to autolock,sod wont happen.can any one confirm that the power key is the culprit here or not???or cofirm what mono said.this sod is messin up my desire to flash gb.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
It could be as @spacebar mentioned, Probably the CRT effect was removed that it turns out and doesnt turn on again. Highly doubt tho, Power key was the culprit anyways, Without the BL the powerkey was basically useless.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bala_gamer:
It seems there is some sort of bug in the camera app... when we focus on some dark locations ,waves are running jus like an old tv....
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
Don't be embarrassed! It has to happen once to stay in your memory for the rest of your life that you always have to copy the TB folder from your Int SD to Ex SD or pc before wipe! If it happens a second time, then, well, shame on you indeed.. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bala_gamer:
You lost alll!!! You should have backed up in externel sd.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ephraim:
They said you shoud flash two times with bootloader. They als said you'll get SOD after doing 2 flashes on GB.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
Haven't seen that either. Am I just lucky tonight or what? :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] xenoyosh:
power button shut off has no problem with mine. i guess its safe to say it does not exist in my device. YAY! If i find any other issues, I will be sure to update
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] killerz2:
External Sd Storage not showing up in My Computer when connected in mass storage mode. Only internal memory is showing up. Anyone else facing the same problem?

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bala_gamer:
Try moving your camera from a bright location to a dark location, you can see those waves, i even tried recording a video unfortunately it has those waves recorded :(
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] xenoyosh:
doesnt happen to me. :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] trip007in:
If it is detected in phone but not on PC. Its USB driver problem. Happened to me yesterday. But if phone is not detecting the SD could be corrupt SDcard, test with another one.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] killerz2:
The phone is detecting it fine. But its not showing up in My Computer. Whats the solution?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] aruncool17:

Does flashing to XXKP7 worth it or should we wait for a more stable version and can we and do we need to use lagfix on this? THANKS
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] clrsri2006:
successfully flashed gingerbread firmware.

faced the camera issue when i flashed it first time.

then i re flashed it again and the issue is gone. camera is working fine

i'm still not able to reboot using the power button.

unable to connect to kies. :(

rooted the phone using super1click.

at the end of rooting the su test failed and the phone went to kernal panic mode.

when i rebooted the phone it was rooted.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] xenoyosh:
On an interesting side note: I was previously on XXKB3 even though my region should be asia. The phone did not auto feed the APN details for my phone.

But when I loaded the GB rom, I went to settings to manually input the settings like last time, but now I see that GB autofed the details for my apn already. weird. These are both EUROPEAN versions that I used. well, just an interesting side note.

Btw, does anyone know if the swap of internal and external sd will work on GB? and which method would be best to use?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ephraim:
Tol, anong FW gamit mo before GB? Maganda ba ung GB update or mas maganda parin ang FROYO?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Sine.:
I can sadly almost for sure infirm that : we don't have the same audio chip :(

Wolson for them, Yamaha (if I'm right) for us, and Supercurio has develop Voodoo sound specifically for their incredible chip (I used to have an i9000 and followed almost all of dev there during these past 5 month)

@bala : have you tried yet the TV-out function (if we got it as planed)?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ephraim:
Same here, i flashed to XXKB3. What mobile network are you using? I'm on sun cellular but i cant load up my account using text method. Is XXKB3 the culprit or sun cellular is having some issues. And oh yeah i successfully loaded using dialing method.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] killerz2:
Working Now :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ynshetty:
Facing the same sod problem even after increasing the standby time,this s some beta release or something.anyways flashing it back.only thing i wanted to know is if it was ok to leave the boot loader blank if i flash back to any latest Rom
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] vishal24387:
i know that i m expecting too much but can anybody confirm that does this version support tv out & usb on the go support????
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] xenoyosh:
Hi dude, although I know we are from the same country, I would advise you not to talk in our language because the mods might get you for that. now as per your question, i was initially on DXKB2 then last saturday I flashed XXKB3.

Then this evening I flashed the GB rom.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] aruncool17:
whats with dis flash twice to get your camera working? logically confusing! But it worked fr me!

Auto Rotation Issue

I don't know if this happens to you guys, but after flashing to Gingerbread (twice) using all the files (including the bootloader), when I disable Auto Rotation the keyboard becomes sluggish. I think it happens to scrolling as well.

Wondering if it happens to you too?

(Flashed from I9003XXKB3 to I9003XXKP7)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] saketkoria:
confirming that it has to be flashed twice for camera to work...
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] GauharJK:
Never faced that particular problem ever...
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] surajram:
Since Gingerbread is temperamental as it is, I decided to reflash, root and remove some of the apk's that I deemed useless.

I also added Zeam Launcher as a system app to replace TouchWiz30Launcher

Phone boots fine after a factory reset, and no additional bugs have been noticed.

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] gtr.oman:
its worked with me after i flashed my phone twice with froyo XXKB3 ....:)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
No mate. Froyo didn't have it. I meant that the lazy-arse creeps at Samsung decided to chop out the Bounce and CRT effects off the Vanilla GB ROM. What twats, really!

And no, i9003 is no lab rat, its their ticket to sales after they realised that all the AMOLED screens were needed for the S2 and that not everyone, everywhere could afford to buy one just yet. So, they had to have something that'd still sell as a decent smartphone. And the i9003 is not at all inferior to the i9000 except for the graphics processor. The screen, imho, is better than that fake-looking AMOLED nonsense. I seriously like the high-res LCD of the i9003 better than the AMOLED. And apart from that, the components are different here and there (processor, audio chip etc.) but not inferior to the ones on the i9000 in any way. Its just that i9000 has stellar XDA support that makes having it so awesome. My only reasons to go for the i9003 was the screen, more RAM availability and the better battery of course. :)
