@misletz... help me bro..
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] lbraddx:
Thanks misledz, i followed the rooting guide on the first page link by vivekkalady and it's done smoothly. I did reboot it right after rooting. I thinks its the titanium back up that screwed it up....

Did you check the earlier reply from Misledz and provide the necessary info? :mad:
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
@Aaditiya, It's as space said, I need more information, Telling me your internet cuts off isn't helping me to help you. Please, elaborate
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Aaditya2:
which information?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ephraim:
By internet connection do you mean through 3g or wifi?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Aaditya2:
thanx 4 reply... m using 3g.

when m using same sim to other phone it works fine... bt in my phone it disconcts every 15 mnt
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
Check your network settings, it should be in dual mode. And check your APN too. Sometimes networks have more than one APN and it causes issues.

If everything else fails, reflash..
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Have you checked the APN settings? Or requested new ones? XXKPE isn't the same as the firmware released in india. Could also be different baseband. Not sure.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] go4saket:
I dont understand whats the benifit of upgrading... Everything looks and feels like usual XXKB3 Phone runs similar. On the downside battery drains out much faster. So why should one not go back t the older version? Am I missing something...
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Maybe you never used XXKB3 long enough, Because If it's as you say "it's all the similar" then why do we have 78+ pages worth of discussion :rolleyes:, I'm sure the answer is there somewhere.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
A LOT actually..
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] go4saket:
You are right, I used XXKB3 for about a month... Whatever the case, if you dont mind, can you pleaseeeeeeeeee summarize the benefits of this new firmware over the previous one...

looks like it is from the same lot.. It does appear to an official release version though.

KP9:

ro.build.type=eng

ro.build.user=se.infra

ro.build.tags=test-keys

KPE:

ro.build.type=user

ro.build.user=se.infra

ro.build.tags=release-keys

I assume the eng is for engineering build (rooted and deoxed)

It does make sense that SOC does not work, they probably patched some of the known exploits for the release build.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] nitishagar:
Seeing all this I think this version should have much better battery management
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] nitinvaid:
What is SOC?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] nitinvaid:
What is SOC?

WHAT IS SOD?

meaning of these terms
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] dhruvwali:
SOC - Super one click ( used to root devices )

SOD - Screen of death ( can be anything from kernel panic , freezing etc)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ephraim:
SOC=SuperOneClick (for rooting)

SOD=Screen of Death (where your phone never wakes up from a deep sleep and you'll have to remove the battery and restore to make it working again)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bala242:
soc=SuperOneClick

sod=Sleep of Death

ithink they locked the bootlooder so we need skin help cwm,then we root via update.zip
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] dhruvwali:
Hmm.. i wonder if samsung is taking the htc route to rooting and flashing of our phone by disabling SOC use...

Got struck during Firmware Update

Guys!

I don't want to hear that I bricked my phone....:(

Today I tried updating XXKPE from XXKP9.

After selecting repartition, I updated Pit file. (Things went well).

Then, I reseted Odin, went to download mode in Phone and selected the remaining files in Odin and clicked start.

Every thing went well until "modem.bin" where the progress stayed as it is for more than 5 mins.

I thought something went wrong and since all other files were updated (I assumed), I disconnected the USB connection.

When I switched my Phone it showed a "Phone to Warning Triangle to PC" logo.

I removed the Battery, went to download mode (I was happy that my phone went into Download mode) and connected to PC, But Odin didn't detect my Phone now.

Iam still hopping that I have not bricked my Phone and there should be some option to overcome this...

Requesting XDA Saviours to help me out of this situation.

Following were the log message on Odin (I copied from the message box of Odin).

<OSM> Enter CS for MD5..

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
Try these steps one by one:

1> Reboot PC.

2> Connect to a different USB port.

3> If ODIN still doesn't detect the phone, uninstall KIES and all Samsung drivers and get and install drivers only.

4> Check repartition and select pit file BEFORE you connect the phone to the PC.

Should work.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] kksenthil:
I tried all the steps mentioned by you. But no improvement.

My windows XP says USB Device cannot be recognized.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] devilz666:
Find a friend with a PC and try it on their's after installing the drivers maybe ?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] devilz666:
I think no one here talked about it, i can also be a bug with new gmail app, dont know, anyways.

I had to email lotsa a people as and when required for work but funnily ever since I upgraded to 2.3.4 I didnt have to use my phone to do it. But today I had to reply to one mail but I could.t. Reply wont just go through for some reason, dunno what though.

Mail sync is working fine and flawlessly but it's replying to mails that is not working.

Also, is add a signature menu option missing in Gmail app after latest update?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] kksenthil:
I followed the below steps provided in different forum and succeeded in updating the firmware and then clockworkMod Recovery...

Step 1 – Prepare odin with the firmware u want to flash and get it ready to go;

Step 2 – Remove battery, SIM and SD card, next connect your gphone to the computer;

Step 3 – Hold Volume down + Power + Home button at the same time;

Step 4 – Insert the battery and wait a bit;

Step 5 – At this point Odin should have detected your Phone (Yellow rectangle should appear);

Step 6 – Click Start button in Odin and wait about 5 min.

Thanks

try vth windows 7
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Erahgon:
So u updated? Never heard of this problem before! I would recommend what the above comments said.

Since u could enter download mode though, I'm quite sure ur phone didn't get hard bricked. It's probably bad drivers/outdated driver module. Use Win 7 next time and make sure that u have updated Samsung drivers next time!

Thanks for outlining ur steps mate!

Could help someone with similar issues in the future!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Erahgon:
@Aaditya

I had a similar problem with my mom's Samsung i5510, but with her's she couldn't even access the 3g network! I would recommend a factory reset.

However, if u have ever flashed ur firmware, 1st check if ur area code is something other than KOR (for some reason I keep having problems with that). If not, change it to ur original (if it is there, else change it to CWP if it's the XX*** series), by typing *#272*# and choosing the appropriate region code. (Find ur IMEI by typing *#06#.) This will factory reset ur phone anyways.

Take a backup using Titanium backup, before hand. [b{Only selectively restore apps and data![/b] I'd recommend a nandroid backup as well.

Hope this helps and that I haven't made a mountain out of a molehill!

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rebel.charles:
Hey guys, i finally flashed XXKPE f.w., rooted and deodexed. No problems faced till now except that the wifi gets disconnected if not used for 10 minutes. I read many pages of this thread but i didn't find this issue with anyone although i saw some with 3g problems. But i'm on 2g. Help? Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
The Wi-Fi doesn't get disconnected, its idled by Android to save power. You unlock the phone and it will reconnect immediately, its a feature, not a bug. Unless you're saying it disconnects completely and you have to reconnect manually.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rebel.charles:
Thanks for the reply. Ok, i want to agree with you there but why do i have to toggle wifi off and on just to get it reconnected again. It says "a network error has occured. Retry or cancel and return to the previous screen." :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bvsingh:
this release is ducking awesome...and a pretty simple and straightforward process to boot...
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
Are you using any battery saver/power management apps? If yes, have you enabled auto Wi-Fi management in those apps? Are you using any automatic task killers? Background services should never be killed manually either, it'll screw up your file-system and make the phone unstable.

Also, after rooting did you replace the PDA with normalboot.img? Are you using the latest CWM from Skin's thread?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] trip007in:
Did anyone, notice sometimes the CPU meter remains at 1gh without much applications running in bg. Sometimes it is at 300 MHz. I think this is draining battery. Any one else with this problem.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rebel.charles:
No battery saver or power management apps. I have not even restored my apps just to see if any application was causing this problem. I just havego launcher ex, whatsapp, root explorer and power amp currently.

I have left the use of automatic task killers long time back. Sometimes, i use the task killer provided by go launcher ex.

Should i reflash again? Factory reset? I have already flashed two times(3 to be exact). Flashed two times to get the camera work.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
Okay, what about this:

"Also, after rooting did you replace the PDA with normalboot.img? Are you using the latest CWM from Skin's thread?"
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rebel.charles:
i have rooted and deodexed my phone. That's it. Ans yes i replaced the PDA with normalboot.img! I dont think wifi would have worked without that.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
Replace PDA with Skin's latest CWM for KPE and try.

Have u installed all the drivers correctly?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
Doubt what, that it doesn't play 1080p or that I don't know what it is?

I said, it does play 1080p, which can be in a dozen different formats. It plays 1080p mp4 fine on my phone with Dice player. FullHD mkv videos play through soft decoding, but very choppy.

That's MY experience, on MY phone. Feel free to share YOURs.

I'd say it works, only if I have tested & know that it does.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] manrock111:
I also tried 3-4 1080p movies but they all are h264 mkv's they all are very choppy on my and my bro phone sgs with both native n dice player. The friend sgs2 able to play that same file but not all files that I have.

If u are able to play 1080p then, the I feel good to know.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
OT- LMAO space, I laughed hard at the questions vs questions with you and the random question generator guy.

And yes I had a screenshot up here on the first 20 pages *somewhere* that it plays H264 and with subtitles too. Booyeah
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jamsori:
A 'please search before hitting post reply' text box of some sort seems necessary, heh. Whilst i don't pride myself on being the most knowledgeable in this sort of area, i do search. :)

Edit (might as well add something useful :P): For those that want to flash back to Froyo (XXKB3) for proper GMail sync or whatever, i had to flash twice - videos weren't playing properly and the market app was mucking up. Other than texture problems in games like i had with Gingerbread anyway, it works fine. :) Someone mentioned they had problems earlier with it, so just to clear it up.

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jit_devil2:
just a theory:

even 1080p mkvs should play fine with stock video player if the audio stream is fiddled around with.with handbrake just choose audio mixdown to stereo instead of dts/dolby keep the other parameters same and convert...........size will be increased by 15-20% but the video will play fine in stock player.tried only with 720p mkvs even the one some members here said didnot work.they worked like a charm.couldnot try 1080p yet as i donot have any small 1080p mkv all i have are 15gb+

Hi...

I am getting only about an average of 10 hours battery life after updating to KPE..

i think i was getting more when i was on KB3...

isn this update supposed to increase the battery life?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Pralinos:
The fact is that it doesn't...
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jit_devil2:
well i would say gb actually helped my battery life a lot

with my regular usage used to get around 18-20hours in froyo it has increased to 24-27 hours in gingerbread maybe even a bit more if not connected through wifi most of the time
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
Extract framework-res.apk and look in the "res" folder within the extracted framework folder.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
Battery life is a very subjective thing. Depends on your usage, your snyc profiles, background processes, network strength, data etc.

No firmware, under standard usage, gives as low as 10 hours. I used to get 18 to 20 hours on KB3 with fair usage.

Now I get around 22 hours on KPE with similar or more usage. But that's me. Also, I don't use any battery saving apps. They just mess with the system.

Just turn off things you don't really need and you should get through the day. Of course, gaming is a different issue, for all devices all over the space.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ronhoover88:
It can be found in systemUI.apk

and a little bit of gaming!! (30 mins..)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
It get's better if you drain to 1% and let it auto turn off, Then charge it to 100%, That helps alot in making sure the battery stays alive for atleast longer than 22hrs.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
That kind of usage will not give you more than 12 hours. Wi-Fi and data (esp 3G) eat battery for breakfast.

FFC not working with any kind of video chat apps

Hi Guys,

I am not sure if anyone facing the same issue but my FFC is not working with Gtalk, Fring, Qik Video, Skype.

Whenever I try to video chat the FFC preview flickers constantly. Its frustrating. Last time also when I updated to XXKP9 same happened. I reverted back to Froyo and again fring started working.

I need video chat to work. Anybody tested this. Everything elese works fine.

While taking pictures with FFC or rear works fine.

Are You seeing some green flicker in Gtalk (ported for galaxy S)

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] kaushiksoft:
yep green flicker in Fring & Gtalk, Gtalk goes black when connected and locks down camera. Really frustrating.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
Use the GTalk A/V package attached to my tweaks post. Its still not perfect but doesn't have the green flicker. As for Skype, doesn't work. You have to wait for the correct version to be released, there's a Wi-Fi security issue in the patched versions and it isn't working proper anyway.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] kaushiksoft:

No better alternative yet, have to wait till there's one, unfortunately. Although, I tested it multiple times on both Wi-Fi and 3G and there's no green flicker like in the previous version. I'll see what can be done.

Hm... I took more then 31h. For calibrating, I made full discharge of battery, and look the last screenshot

I played GOF2 about 1 ÷ 1.5 hours, the last red line was under 15% (I was going to sleep with sure that I'll have to charge it at the morning).

All time WiFi was on with synchronizing some applications, and I listened audio book (as you can see Astro Player is in the top) about 12 hours.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] manrock111:
Wow!!!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
:eek::eek::eek: You sure you have the standard battery that came with the device? :p

But honestly, my Wi-Fi is on for almost 12 hours a day, 3G data is switched off other than when I'm out and need something. I get about 22 hours but I've always plugged in the phone when it gets to 15% or so. I don't play games, but I do stream DI.fm a lot, about 3 to 4 hours and the occasional HSW tech and F1 podcasts.

I also listen to locally stored music for about 2 hours. Browsing is never more than an hour though. Background sync is always on and almost all email and FB is set to sync every 30 mins. Twitter, GMail and MS Exchange are all push-based, so they don't contribute much to battery drain.

I have NoLED notifications always working and of course all those background services like Skype (darn thing is always there :mad:), GPS aids, G Maps etc.

One thing I wanted to ask you though, what's your brightness setting? Mine's on auto.
