I reflashed 2 times XXKB3. At the first time cam doesn't work (it started very slow, showed black screen and I have big lags with starting other app after using the cam), also I had very bad WiFi connection and can't use youtube (it cannot take any video). After reflashing at the second time all seems work well. I also put deodexed fw with vanila lockscreen and put other theme, and all is still works well

I reflashed with repartition and I selected all 4 files at the same time (without repartition and then reflashing)

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] valedelu:
I did, the phone works fine:) Android version 2.3.4:)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] yoshimitsu1234:
@valedelu its 2.3.3 or 2.3.4 ?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] gwynethallison:
It working fine so far...tnx
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] fooman123:
It think GB is going to need the new bootloader. Method *i am guessing* would be like that used for I9000 for going from 2.2 to 2.3.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] valedelu:
The version is 2.3.4
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
So they decided to skip 2.3.3? Whys it saying everywhere 2.3.3?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] fooman123:

Please share instructions on how you did it!

Yeah please share how to flash
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] valedelu:
I don't know why, i hope this is real 2.3.4
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Lets just hope you can reflash it back to Froyo, I doubt there's any rooting available and app compatibility might take a few days i guess. So far so good, I think id give it about a week for changes to kick in on the App Market. So far Google Talk Video being the only [+] point there is, I hope there's more to this than just a misinterpreted firmware version...Guess someone will be posting on SamFirmware twitter soon about why's it 2.3.4
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] B€nder:
Hello everybody!!

the ROM is only in English or other languages?

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rb210:
If I remember correctly, on GSMArena it was mentioned that Google Talk video was introduced in 2.3.4 not 2.3.3. If someone can confirm the Google Talk video support, this should be the real deal.

Im only "assuming" that "CODE_I9003XXKP7_CL280937_REV08_eng_mid_ship.tar" is the PDA, I mean it only makes sense, Look at the size of the file. 300 MB..

@rb210, As much as I'd love to flash and write up an answer now, Just spent 3 hrs on a decent deodex, I just hope the Android Market doesn't have any major compatibility issue. Id cry popcorn if this is the real 2.3.4 deal.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ronhoover88:
so you mean to say we can flash without APBOOT_I9003XXKP7_CL280937_REV08_eng_mid_ship.tar
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Possible, This is just a theory but i think thats for diff baseband versions in regions like UK and etc. Or i could be wrong.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] marco9333:

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] konx777:
Dude, its seem bugs on this FW. I got problem 1 just like what u've explained.

I did whatever they said in the another thread, also use Widget Locker trying to solve the unresponding lock screen, actualy when running over WiFi this problem just disappear, but when i leave my phone in 5min using 3G, the lock screen just went black not responding anymore. Thats my observation so far.

And yeah... pull the battery !

The most annoying to me is the camera. Bring back the Andrographer !!!!

In my case, enabling Easy Wake on Widget Locker started the SOD.. I disabled Widget Locker completely and using stock lock. SOD hasn't happened in the last 2 hours or so.. strange indeed! :rolleyes:

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] KonfusedGeek:
I'm using Lockbot currently to keep SOD away. But sometimes the stock lock comes up and then i just restart the phone and it keeps working fine. Though, when doing a Power Reset I get an Android Logo with Power Reset written next to it. Is anyone else facing this problem ?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Novim:
Ive had loads of different screen lock apps installed, some seemed to work but maybe an hour or more later, SOD again. Uninstalled them, which then also appeared for some reason to help but again the error came again.

Reading though the above thread I found some similarities to our SOD issue, unfortunately the solution involved the use of leaked kernel source for that phone.

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bala_gamer:
I didnt get any SOD from last night!! I dunno if any changes done by triggered this or not,

* I disabled my packet data(since my validity is over :D)

* I had earlier installed screen locker app and have uninstalled it.

* Used no lock app to enable disable screen lock.

Now i have default lock screen enabled.. and no SOD from last night. STrange
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rex4u:

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] marselcj:
Ok, thanks! But I have one question: after the reboot, should we keep this set (timeout to 10 min), or we can go back to a "normal" setting like 15 or 30 seconds??

Thanks again!:)

The bluetooth issue

When I use bluetooth to listen music and shut down the screen.

After about 30 sec , the music will be stopped and maybe resumed shortly.

but when I wake up the screen . The music resumed

Sorry for my poor english. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rex4u:
You have to keep the settings.

Phone goes into suspend state and thus most of the processes are suspended. Thats why Music gets paused.

Try above mentioned settings and report back.

my apologies Ron, you were right on the money.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ronhoover88:
Actually only gingerbread requires a bootloader and froyo doesn't need one!!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] fooman123:
thanks Ron.

my reason for posting is because there are at lease two people crying about 3g not working after reverting to xxkb3. Though, I personally doubt that the problems are related to the bootloader. And on side note, even gingerbread appears to flash fine and boots with or without the included bootloader - issues became apparent soon after - if the included bootloader is not flashed.

It should also be noted that froyo does indeed require a bootloader - it just appears to work fine with the gingerbread one flashed during the previous XXKP7 load.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ronhoover88:
Gb also appears to boot fine coz the other file already has the boot files in it...anyways i read somewhere that gb update from froyo needs a bootloader!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Skin1980:
with dd command you will copy the entire block... if the block is large 8 mb with only 4 mb of data with dd command you will get an 8 mb file. If you look with an hex editor you will see a lot of "0" in the end of the file.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] desylvia:
i have installed this stock ROM too but it was too much bug for me, like SOD and problem in booting via power button. So i decide to downgrade to xxkb3 froyo again.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] konx777:
Another symptom using XXKP7

Hi Guys,

wondering if any of u take a look into battery graph and analyze it.:rolleyes:

I've been experiences below (especially related to SOD):

- Using 'flight mode' it could take longer --> stable without got SOD ;)

- Using GSM signal only for texting/phone call --> stable without got SOD ;)

- Using Internet connection via 3G/HSDPA --> got SOD so easily (about 2 min) :mad:

- Using Internet connection via WiFi --> got SOD but take longer (about 15 min) :(

*i always clearing the memory usage from task manager when jump into another state

Oh, one more thing ... i just cant snapshot my screen using combo "back+menu", and instantly got 'kernel panic' screen.:eek:

So, now still use GB but without internet connection running in standby.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] fooman123:
The primary and secondary bootloaders used by gingerbread when the APBOOT is omitted from the flash are not ones that where already "in it" -- It was just using the bootloader from 2.2.1 that was already on the phone. -- when the bootloaders are not flashed the partitions containing the primary and secondary bootloaders on the phone are not touched.

It was lucky that people got away with flashing gingerbread without the included bootloader.. though I don't think could have been fatal -- as the bootloader contains the download code - to allow re-flashing the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] biloulou007:
hello,

Personally I see a big problem with the camera.

It works well except when used with third-party applications. Crash and reboot required for the camera working again.

An idea to solve this problem?

Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] vivekkalady:
Is There anyone capable of editing the boot loader??

there are gingerbread updates for other phones also

so that the code creating the SOD can be replaced

is it Possible ???

galaxy ACE,galaxy S,etc also have released gingerbread so I think it will be the same code for Screen Lock
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
Rex, check PM mate. That file just cannot be replaced. Its in constant use by the system I guess.. :|
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
My thoughts exactly. This is a half-baked i9000 loader which is creating the issues.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
Did you try the maximum timeout and removing power-related widgets thing or its just working without doing any of that?

Btw, don't worry about your validity :p

been to kernel panic mode??

restart the phone an your phone will be rooted

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
Try SuperOneClick, reboot and you should see Superuser after reboot. Don't worry about the Kernel Panic, just pull battery and reboot. Get Stericson's Busybox from Market and then update the version to 1.18.4.

Really really weird! This bootloader has to be fixed. Its a pain in the butt!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
Mate, you've been on about this since y'day! Why don't you just get a B2B cable and check for yourself? Its not nuclear physics, is it? As simple as connecting a cable and seeing if it works.

Your USB storage has to be powered mind you, you cannot use a pen/flash drive for this. It has to be a USB source that has its own power.

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rex4u:
Hmmm.......

It got nothing to do with the bootloader. It's the problem with the kernel and Power Manager module.

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] vivekkalady:
Types of Wake Locks

Wake Lock	Description

ACQUIRE_CAUSES_WAKEUP

Normally wake locks don't actually wake the device, they just cause it to remain on once it's already on. Think of the video player app as the normal behavior. Notifications that pop up and want the device to be on are the exception; use this flag to be like them.

FULL_WAKE_LOCK	Wake lock that ensures that the screen and keyboard are on at full brightness.

ON_AFTER_RELEASE	When this wake lock is released, poke the user activity timer so the screen stays on for a little longer.

PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK	Wake lock that ensures that the CPU is running. The screen might not be on.

SCREEN_BRIGHT_WAKE_LOCK	Wake lock that ensures that the screen is on at full brightness; the keyboard backlight will be allowed to go off.

SCREEN_DIM_WAKE_LOCK	Wake lock that ensures that the screen is on, but the keyboard backlight will be allowed to go off, and the screen backlight will be allowed to go dim.

I think the power button works in PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK

Does This Help???
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
Doing, now..

Edit: No PM yet.. :?

Okay, got it.. :)

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] vivekkalady:
All power management calls follow the same basic format:

Acquire handle to the PowerManager service.

Create a wake lock and specify the power management flags for screen, timeout, etc.

Acquire wake lock.

Perform operation (play MP3, open HTML page, etc.).

Release wake lock.

The snippet below illustrates this process.

PowerManager pm = (PowerManager)mContext.getSystemService(

Context.POWER_SERVICE);

PowerManager.WakeLock wl = pm.newWakeLock(

PowerManager.SCREEN_DIM_WAKE_LOCK

| PowerManager.ON_AFTER_RELEASE,

TAG);

wl.acquire();

// ...

wl.release();

I expect another GB leak within a month's time. Lets see...
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] fooman123:
SOD is screen of death. In this case, it is slightly misleading - but barring better label for the issue, this is what we have.

the issue:

The phone enters what is called a "deep sleep" state in order to conserve power. Certain events should trigger a "wake up" -- In this development rom, the phone sometimes will not wake up with key events that should trigger a wake up -- and removing the battery is the only way to get it back..

There does seem to be hope that on this dev rom that problem problem will be solved since it caught rex's attention and I am sure that he and others enjoy the challenge. My guess is that we will have other leaked roms for the i9003 before the official ones are ripe and start to drop starting in July.
