it will not work z4root gingerbreak.........
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] PondaRox:
ok, got 2 more feedback elements

1. had a brief scare when my wifi wouldn't turn on. since i've actually started using my phone for browsing more than my pc, and i didn't have any data packages, this was going to a BIG problem that would turn me off xxkpe for sure. luckily, switching to airplane mode, then off and turning wifi on should solve the problem

2. shazam starts acting funky if you switch to landscape mode while it's tagging (though that might very well be because of shazam itself or that it's 2.5.1, as opposed to 3.3. gonna fix that now and see if it still acts the same)

as i said earlier, not convinced to go back to froyo, but xxkpe is starting to show it's dark side
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
XXKP9 had this issue back then aswell, If the battery fell under 25% then it will freeze upon turning on, I had this happen aswell earlier, the Wi-Fi stopped working when I flashed a custom theme :< But its all grand now

T-2weeks, We can do it >:[
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] PondaRox:
well, tried the latest shazam and i'm happy to report that it doesn't have that issue (because it doesn't have a landscape mode at all, lol)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
You guys still with Shazam? I thought Soundhound kicked it out of the water a while ago! :p

Back to topic - The Wi-Fi issue did show up earlier but after I flashed back to the Battery_Fix version its gone. The CF_Root version still has a lot of kinks.

Everything works mint now, except the occasional freeze. Its happened only twice in the last 7 or 8 days though. Not too bad for a beta. :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Well expect more errors to come with the final, The compatibility must be updated with the general releases of the upcoming firmwares. Just like how Go Launcher EX was highly glitched but is now problem free with the latest update of theirs :), The same will probably be around for a few days. Or hopefully no issues.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] PondaRox:
i'm satisfied with shazam so far; i read a lot of comparisons but they were mostly inconclusive. i read in one of these that soundhound takes longer to update their database (so it won't detect that hit single that came out just yesterday), which is what turned me off. i suppose i might try soundhound some time
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
I tried premium versions of both for an extended period of time and chose Soundhound∞.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Tell me your dark secret on how you got the ∞, Madness!

Any one has wifi problem.

The signal is,so,week
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Just wait for 2 weeks, For now it's not a big issue.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Jack_Random:
it seems i can't copy files to INTERNAL SD card using USB mass storage mode. can however copy to external SD and then using a file manager on phone pass files from external to internal... any1 having same issue?

and yes, i flashed various times, rooted using vivek's method and flashed CWM with battery fix, in this order.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
You mean your pc sees the external SD but not the internal one? That was an issue on KP9, but hadn't heard of it happen on KPE.

Anyway, try uninstalling Samsung drivers and KIES and then install the drivers only. You can find the drivers here on XDA, just use the search box.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
In other news, I had a strange issue last night. I was listening to music on headphones and didn't touch the phone for about 2 hours. When I did, I was stunned by how hot the phone was! I thought that was it, something was terribly wrong. The battery level had gone from 80 to 10 in 2 hours with everything other than the mobile network switched off. Dang strange!

Did a reboot and plugged in the charger. Its been about 8 hours since and everything seems fine.

Wonder what caused the outage! Anyone else come across anything of this sort?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Jack_Random:
sorry, left out some details in original post

no, i mean pc finds internal sd and can read it (i can browse it in explorer) but i can't write on it., keep getting error message to confirm (and no, dont ask me what the error message says, its in chinese, running chinese XP's)

did un- and reinstall kies, also installed drivers only, tried with and without kies and only drivers etc even tried on 3 PC's (all running XP).

issue persists

and thanks for fast reply :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
That's unless he's trying to mount the internal via CWM which doesn't happen. :(
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
Sounds like a permission issue. Have you tried checking the permissions on the card? Check its Properties under Win to see if its set to RO.

Try pushing a test file through adb.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
True. Anyway, this CWM build does not support the int_SD, so there's no question of mounting it within CWM.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Jack_Random:
having wrong busybox atm so adb aint working either... will have to re-flash FW i guess and see what happens.

thanks again
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] PondaRox:
it's not the same problem, but earlier in the thread, i mentioned how i turned my wifi off and then it wouldn't turn on again. i left the wifi off and switched to airplane mode. then i switched off airplane mode and tried turning the wifi on again and this time it worked. maybe it'll work for you too

if not, well, it's nothing that i don't think couldn't be solved with a reboot. have you considered the possibility of it being a problem with the modem?

my phone froze while playing music. i think it's a beta thing
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Well the thing happened for me today, I was on Whatsapp when I accidentally tapped the Call feature, The screen went blank and the phone actually called. I was a tad bit worried cause it attempted to call a long distance #, Thankfully I had no credit :rolleyes:. But anyways after that the phone refused to light back up, the menu and return key's lighted up and yes the phone was extremely hot, After 20 secs of pressing around, the phone lit up again to the lockscreen but the battery had jumped from a mere 73% to a whopping 22% I was like, WHAT.THE.****? This ofcourse with CF-Root.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] PondaRox:
well, in my music player scenario, da phone stayed lit up no matter how much i pressed the power button/held the power button down. in the end, battery out -> battery in

what's confusing me is the thing with battery getting hot. that didn't happen to me (not using cf-root or anything, just plain old xxkpe). that might just be a hardware issue (it's a little farfetched to blame all of it on xxkpe being a beta)

these stories are quite the contrast from the glowing remarks about xxkpe from earlier in the thread. my guess (and hope) is that fabled gingerbread rom's coming next week (if not, definitely the week after that). i'm starting to lose my patience with samsung again...:mad:
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
It will for sure. SamFirmware is usually upto their mark when It comes to releases. Never seen them delay it. Apart from that, Your etisalat gif doesn't work :P It's a corrupted icon. Tbh Samsung service centre's in Dubai/AUH kinda suck. Most of them employees don't even know what job they applied for. You tell them one thing xda related and they'll tell you something else completely unrelated. And you'd think they'd expand their base knowledge. I spent about 2 hr's trying to convince my aunt that it wasn't worth it but she insisted and spent a whopping 3hrs trying to get the green phone icon removed. It was basically a dialer glitch when making a video call, the icon would stay behind. A reboot would have fixed it but nooo, guy insisted his own story. Which led me to the conclusion.

Guy channels from his own realm of information!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
Well, in reply to all of that, I really do think its a f/w issue. Can't be hardware as it never happened earlier on 4 different ROMs.

I rather hope Samsung are listening. :mad:

It'd do us all a world of good if Samsung just stopped tinkering with the stock Gingerbread too much and pushed it out with the bare minimum needed for device compliance. No cutting out features, adding other pointless or awful ones. It just doesn't serve any good! It'd save us a lot of hassle, keep various devices a lot closer and help devs in the process, save Samsung some time and effort (although tardy and useless) and help push out updates quicker. :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
@space, If this is their current routine, Imagine ICS when it comes out , Wonder what's it going to have anyways that we don't already have.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
ICS will be a universal OS for phones and tablets. It'll be an amalgamation of GB and HC. A major UI overhaul, nifty little features added and a lot more uniformity over apps. Not to mention, much better support for multi-core processing and expected bump in performance on current single cores too.

In other news, Google just bought Motorola.. :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

This just whipped my brain and changed a few things for the future!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Wow so that means google has rights over the xoom now dang. But in general I hope they enable the feature to select which apps you choose to remain open/multitask rather than a fiasco of open apps that slow down single cores tremendously
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] PondaRox:
hahahahhahaha!!! well, i'm very confident about samfirmware releasing it on time, but it's not like they've given us a date either

and i've noticed my etisalat gif doesn't work, but you recognized it as being etisalat, so it's doing it's job :D

well, battery is hardware. but i guess it might just be the firmware not agreeing with the battery, if you get my meaning

and how have they tinkered with gingerbread? the stuff i'm seeing in it is the same stuff i saw in the gingerbread changelog - in fact, i can't even see the NFC and VoIP/SIP stuff anywhere

have you seen the screenshots of ICS running on the Nexus S? of course, that's ICS in its gestation period, but it just incorporated some honeycomb like features into smartphones (like the Apps and Favorite Apps, or whatever the second was called). of course there's going to be a performance bump (look at what beta gingerbread did for our phones), and i hear they're going to have facial tracking with 3d. but i think the main theme with ICS is unifying android across smartphones and tablets (and i'm REALLY hoping that maybe it'll unify android across specific phones too, so no waiting for ICS on our phones months after i9000)

and it's funny that google bought motorola, only days after i saw XDA TV's video where the guy (forgot his name) was begging motorola to not start it's own fight in the patent wars
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
LMAO. Facial tracking. That sounds wrong, But oh so interesting. :D

ICS will probably have features to combat the cursed white apple once again, I'm not really surprised as to why thecursedwhiteapple feels so threatened, It's because they never really had originality, I came across an article that showed the iPod was never really their invention, Rather they had patent rights over it and won against the actual creator. With this in mind, ICS tends to highly promote what IOS could not, and that is the choice of satisfying it's customers based on their needs/lifestyle. IOS was on the basis of "We serve what we want, you accept it wether you like it or not, for everything else, there's a paid app for it".

Also your etisalat logo, I noticed only because I tried to open it in a new link when it said it failed.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] PondaRox:
does it still need to combat theapplethatshallnotbenamed? if you ask, the aforementioned apple lost a while back (possibly with eclair, i don't have experience with it. by froyo, however, the winner was quite clear).

i like some aspects of iOS - in fact, if getting your hands dirty with your phone (like the people on XDA) isn't part of the agenda, there's nothing wrong with it. but that company named after a fruit is just really pretentious about how they do things. i read steve jobs' essay on flash, and lets just say he has very bad reasons for why he doesn't want flash on the i- products (really, flash is closed?). all this is off-topic, of course

i think google is flaunting ICS as the android's 'big fall thing', like the windows phone 7 and the iphone 5 (unless the nexus prime's supposed to come out in that period, in which case...um, one-two punch?). it doesn't seem to me like, at the moment, apple (well, i had to take its name sooner or later :D) is a particular target for them
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
It's so far ahead in the game that it doesn't need to combat anyone! But, when it keeps getting better and better, aren't we happy? :D

Fragmentation is one area where the droid hurts and, hopefully, with ICS, that'll be a thing of the past!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Hopefully they would smoothen the system resources that get's hogged up and probably maybe even add a smooth screen rotation orientation. It looks like a big lag spike when it changes from portrait to landscape
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Lordrdx666:
Well I saw my battery plummet down from 90% to 30% in 3 hours I had left mobile data network on and forgotten about where I had kept my phone and when I came back I got this battery shock! also the network selected was wcdma and not gsm!

In any case the battery drain shouldn't be so extreme! :(

Considering that all my sync options are turned off! Any one face something like this aside from me and spacebar?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Jack_Random:
maybe a faster battery drain when phone is hot in general?

i noticed this in my original ROM (store bought preinstalled ROM) that when phone was hot, battery drained faster, not to that extent you are describing though
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] neojith:
(BUG) Browser closes on streaming videos..

Flashed d XXKPE 2 weeks back, CF-Root Kernel.. whatever methods i tried cudnt deodex it.. The firmwares awesome !!

Battery backup's gud, get almost 1 day 13 hrs ad 12 % battery still left( calls, music(30 min), shadow guardian(30 min).. Sync is working gud.. Noticed nothing wrong with other features except for one..

I CANT PLAY STREAMING VIDEOS ON SKYFIRE.. THE BROWSER CLOSES WHEN THE VIDEOS START STREAMING !! WAITING FOR THE NEXT FIRMWARE RELEASE FROM SAMFIRMWARE..
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] falex007:
I can look streams from justin.tv or from own3d without any problems. Did you flash XXKPE correctly? did you try to update flashplayer? How did you restore your applications? because TB can backup not only system data, but system applications too, and you can restore old applications to new firmware
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
They mentioned it aswell, Me and space had the same issue broski, This was a common issue with XXKPE, the Data package would drain the battery at great rate. That's why wifi ftw :P
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] PondaRox:
ok, NOW i'm on the verge of losing my patience. it's as if xxkpe wants me to stop using it! now it's started shutting off at random (definitely not because of battery issues - the last time this happened was after i plugged the phone into the charger)

i'm literally on the brink of downgrading, but is there any other way to deal with this problem? because for all of the frustrations, it's been a good run with xxkpe so far
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ronhoover88:
Are you using any theme??

Sent from my GT-I9003
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] PondaRox:
nope, no themes, no nothing. i haven't rooted/deodexed it yet. heck, i'm not even using any launchers. this is just plain old xxkpe
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ronhoover88:
Then you better downgrade for the time being till the next version of gb comes out

Sent from my GT-I9003
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] PondaRox:
hm, i guess
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jaskiratsingh:
I had similar issues when I was using kpe.... It corrupted my boot files and hence I would get kernel panic every now and then. Downgrading left me with broken internal sd card. Got a mb replacement and more sticking to froyo till a stable remade comes out.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] PondaRox:
well, i flashed to JPKE1, and the experience was so horrible i went right on back to xxkpe. i'll inform y'all if anything goes wrong
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] mitoVonDido:
My default fw for my phone is dxkb2, n then I flashed to xxkb3 once, while using xxkb3 i'm very impressed caused it so darn stable n silky smooth. After xxkpe leaked here, i changed to it by flashing twice n never think to roll back to xxkb3. Apply root,deo,cwm,cf-root,theme n mod successfully.Yes true in xxkpe, u will have a couple of kernel panic but i only experienced it while running some apps like ad-free, sdmaid n also TB(but kernel panic will occurred once or twice and if u open that apps next time, no more kernel panic). My unsolved weird error is i cant uninstall any apps using TB :( . Even our pc will give errors n random freeze if we used it in a long time, so I must accept it in this phone too :p So guys what's my simple point is, you all should minimize flashing across fw,perhaps it should reduce problems on your phones. hmmm i think to stick with this fw until official GB fall from sky later end of this month :)

p/s: rex's custom rom is so tempting me n sorry i'm also just a newbie..
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] joealley:
I have the same problem with XXKPE before. That was two days after flashing my phone. I became so frustrated i wast thinking of downgrading back to Froyo but patience wins. Spacebar even thought it's a hardware problem. You can read my posts a few pages back in this thread. What i did was install CWM and deodexed it. After that i only suffer minor hiccups. There where a couple of FC's but overall it was a better experience. But that's just me, hope it works for you too. :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Jazone...:
Yea patience is really the key to this... flashed several times, tried to root but failed same with deodex but i never stopped learning, read all the post and try over and over again (trial and error) and now everything is working fine :) rooted, deodex and now using viveks theme black android... thanks for those people who made this possible... your labor guys are not in vain... :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] PondaRox:
ok, xxkpe is working just like before, except whenever i unlock the phone by sweeping the glass, while transitioning to the home screen, the lock screen flashes for a brief fraction of a second before the homescreen appears

how can i stop that?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] PondaRox:
just so you know, I've tried powering on and powering off and I've tried using go launcher
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] PondaRox:
and ONE more detail: it doesn't happen if I sweep the glass slowly
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] torque321:
GB for Europe Official!!!!!!

Seems like GB for Europeis is out.. wont be long before it hit asian shores too..

planning to revert back to official froyo,so that can update the official GB from kies once out.....

is this procedure ok?

which indian firmware will be recommended.

and is this procedure to flash the offical froyo :

IF there is only a file of the f.w i.e. pda file then do NOT use a pit file for flashing just select the pda and flash it

thnx
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sakindia123:
u must be running the last offical firmware for your region and then update via kies........if u `r in a hurry,u can flash via odin(any firmware willdo befor flashing)...link will be up in some time(samfirmware)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
Are you using the 5lockscreen mod? If yes, try another lockscreen apart from the glass one.

On another note, GB has officially arrived for i9003.

Thread started.

Its called XXKPH. :D
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] torque321:
looking for indian firmware

and is this procedure right to flash the offical foyo

IF there is only a file of the f.w i.e. pda file then do NOT use a pit file for flashing just select the pda and flash it
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sakindia123:
yes an latest indian is kc1(probably)(search on stock rom s threads for dd series roms)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ephraim:
Goodbye KPE hello KPH :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
Hahaha.. not so soon! A lot has to be ported over first. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ephraim:
I know you guys can port everything in just under a day :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
Most don't even know of the update yet! But yeah, it'll be blazing on almost everyone's device by tomorrow.. :D
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jjangjojo:
I totally agree although... ... its time I do another backup again. And I hate the part the this is a European firmware again. No offence, but why can't they just release firmwares for all regions at one time.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ephraim:
It's for testing purposes i think.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jjangjojo:
Yeah, I think so too. As much as I want to flash this tmr I have a national exam. Darn it. Don't u think Samsung rely on us too much??
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] PondaRox:
NO! don't do this to me! :P

seriously though, i've been waiting a LONG time for this (ever since the end of june, when i got my sgsl))!

how long do you think it'll be before the middle east version is available? if not too long, i might as well just wait for that one since someone on the firmware's thread said it was russian in a tone that suggested it might be a problem

one more thing, can someone recommend a good backup app to me? not one that needs rooting, of course (if i root, my first firmware will be the gingerbread one)

assuming i end up waiting for the middle east thing

nope, again, just plain old xxkpe
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
Its (XXKPH) not a test ROM. Test ROMs are NEVER released on KIES! KIES releases are for public use.

And European f/w is released first as that's how it starts.

Later, regional language support and other bloat is added and released to other areas.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] PondaRox:
later is awfully vague :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Might put this on pause and see what the new hot fuzz is about. Finally managed to get on after ages.
