Hello, I've upgraded to XXKPH and I've found the following issue, my 3g isn't working, I've red all 75 pages of this thread and I've found that only 1 guy had a similar problem and he resolved it by implementing the solution proposed here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1207784

I'm in Argentina and we use 850-1900 3g band.

I've posted a question in that thread but since this thread holds a much bigger audience I've decided to post my problem here as well.

The other thread talks about flashing the old modem file to XXKPH and replacing some file from a backip....but since I dont have a back up (No, I don't have a backup, yes, I'm n' idiot) I don't know if it will even work or I'll mess things up more that they are now.

In other forums they talk about a fix for the 3g 850-1900 band but they are for other phone models and firmwares so I'm kinda screwed there.

As you can see I'm kind of desesperate here so if you have any advice, tip, solution, trick, suggestion, insult or anything that can help me solve this problem I'll be forever grateful to you.

Also I've considered flashing back to Froyo 2.2 (original firmware) and see if that fixes things, tell me if I'm wrong about this.....

Thanks in advance, if you need any other info please let me know.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] fyter:
Check into the /efs folder, you will found a nv_data.bin.bak file, you will need to restore that file replacing the nv_data.bin, of course make a backup of your /efs folder before any change.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] mzone1510:
Well I tried with wifi and sent a mail to my gmail acc, and the phone notified me of it! so I can say that it happens only with data network and not wifi... Ill try resetting the APN and lets see what happens...
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] xeroczzz:
well i'm trying using new firmware...well i saw little bit problem with the battery....its drain really fast....try using juice defender to solved it....i don't it work or not...any ideas guys
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] fedoalcon:
I've tried this, going back to the .bak version without flashing the modem from the older version, almost bricked my phone, no service whatsoever, not even gsm, luckly I had a backup of the folder.

My question remains... could flashing back froyo solve the problem (is flashing froyo back even posible?)

Could flashing the old modem file to the new firmware make things worse?

Feedback will be reaaaaaaaally apreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jaskiratsingh:
No issues while flashing to froyo...I have done that couple of times,,,ddkf1 > xxkph back to kf1 again to kph...

Sometime i get bootloop but in that case, i boot into recovery, wipe data and cache and i am on desktop
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] fedoalcon:
Alright!, I made it work!!!!!! flashing the old modem file and restoring the nv_data.bin (using the nv_data.bak automatic backup.)

Really there's no "thanks meter" long enougth to express my gratitude to all the people in this forum, really live savers.

Whish you all the best!

THANKSSSSSS!!!!

:)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Jack_Random:
yes, dont use juice defender (or any other battery saver apps for that matter)... eats more battery than it saves

and to fix battery, as was mentioned MANY times here... drain phone's battery until phone shuts itself off, charge phone (you can turn it on after like 10 min or so), wait till its on 100%, restart phone and yet again charge to 100%, should help a lot
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Jack_Random:
*#1234# gets me I9003SERKPH as CSC

*#272*IMEI# gets me a countrycode KOR

wonder where the KOR comes from since i never got close to a korean FW... (pre-installed was chinese FW, over that i flashed chinese, hong kong and taiwan FROYO's and then KPE and KPH (which are both EU ones) :rolleyes:

EDIT: soz for doublepost
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] marselcj:
It seems that you're right! The problem of syncing is only on mobile data network, and with wifi it's ok! I did reset the APN and the issue still persists.:(

I just don't know what to do anymore to make the syncs work when the screen is off. :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
Is it just GMail not syncing on 3G or everything else too? Do you have Background data and Auto-Sync enabled?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] PondaRox:
as i said, i did indeed tire of the legend x theme eventually; planning to go to valle mod now, but until then i've switched back to AOSP. i did all of this and it worked except for the battery notification - it still says "Recharge. Enabled" and "Warning" in the robotic way that you might be familiar with if you've used the theme. any way i can get the old notifications back? (and/or knowing that if valle mod was gonna replace them)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] mzone1510:
Yes background data and auto sync is enabled.

Well, its anything that requires push notifications, for me its whatsapp and gmail... both keep getting delayed. I only get them when I wake the phone up for whatsapp and for gmail I get it sometimes and otherwise I gotta hit refresh in the gmail app...

This happens only on data network, I'm using EDGE not 3G, but surprisingly it works fine on wifi! No lag at all!

I'm gonna flash back to froyo, this is really annoying...
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
Ahh, there you go! EDGE sucks balls when it comes to push notifications because it shares the same channel as voice calls. Push notification just do not work well on EDGE. Its not a phone of firmware issue. My friend had the same issue on his iPhone 4 when he was on EDGE and I have the same issue on my Pre 3 that's on a EDGE network..
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] mzone1510:
You may say that edge sucks, but then again why don't I have this issue in froyo? Everything works fine, all notifications etc on froyo using EDGE but ever since I flashed kph i don't get anything until I wake the phone up!

Does GB kill the EDGE connection while sleeping or something?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bigeyes0x0:
You're right on it, I've just switched from 3g to Edge to save battery and indeed my mail notifications got delayed. On 3g it's normal. Well, then I have to choose between 2 days on 3g or 3 days on Edge (haven't gone for 3 days on Edge yet but with the way it's going I think I could).
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] marselcj:
Yes, both of them are enabled!

My network mode is on GSM/WCDMA(auto mode), I mean it's on 3G, and the syncing does not work. Only GMail does not work when the screen is off. I have another EMail client, from my job, and Yahoo too, and they works very well on Mail Droid.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
Do you know the new GMail has individual sync and notification settings for each of the labels? Check your settings by going to GMail settings and clicking on your account name and then "Sync inboxes and labels" & "Labels to notify".
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] marselcj:
@spacebar

All the labels are set to 'sync all'! And you should realized this, because as I sad: on WiFi everything works fine. GMail is syncing all the time: when the screen is Off, when the screen is On, never mind! But on Mobile Data Network (3G) SUCKS!

I can't realize where is the problem, but for sure it's about the connection on mobile network! I can navigate on net with 3G, can acces the market with 3G, all of apps that requiers "Data" are ok with 3G, except GMail wich doesn't sync, but only if use the "refresh" button.:confused::(:rolleyes::eek:
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Dipu K:
GPS setting in XXKPH (AngryGPS/LbsTestmode)

Finally found a way to do that. Got the AngryGPSmod from the thread http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=15721652&postcount=13 and applied it and voila! the app is there in my list of apps....:)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
Then I'm sorry to say, but I don't see what else could be wrong.

EDIT: What version of CWM are you using? Have you enabled battery saving tweaks on the older CWM?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] mzone1510:
Well this happens for me too, not only for gmail but also with whatsapp! I guess its something with the push notifications, is there any other app I could try which also uses push to see if that works? Please don't suggest that crappy facebook app though! :p
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
Twitter official app, Facebook Messenger (not the Facebook app), although you'll have to go around the US-only restriction to install it. You could try Tweetdeck too. I don't have any issues with push on any of the above although I have the Twitter app notifications disabled as I have Tweetdeck doing it, but I've tested it and it works fine.

I'm completely clueless why some people are facing this issue. Could be something to do with your network/APN/snyc profile settings as this (99%) isn't a firmware issue.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jamsori:
I can confirm that i have the problem only on 3G. Wifi is perfectly fine. Doesn't happen on Froyo, etc. Gone through all the label sync settings, updated GMail, etc. It can happen straight after a reboot as well.

I've gotten over it though, lol.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] marselcj:
I don't use any CWM. I use "stock" (clean) XXKPH Firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
Service Center that way please.. >>
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Erahgon:
@PondaRox: You have to replace the files under "/system/media/audio/UI" with the stock files. I think you can get them from the system.rfs file inside the XXKPH ROM's .tar file. Don't know how to extract it in Windows though. On Linux, there are a few tutorials around.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] PondaRox:
the company that made android also made the most killer search engine around ;). I'll do some digging around

thanks!

EDIT: for the aid of anyone else in future, google was not necessary. in bangalorerohan's guide to creating a custom rom (here on XDA), it says the system.rfs file can be extracted using MagicISO, which is what i did

tried connecting through usb to my computer and had no problems. i also replaced the files for 100% charge and battery warning, but those will obviously take more time (in fact, i've noticed there is no 100% notification sound in xxkpe OR xxkph; not that i'm complaining about a potentially scary sound at night :D)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] marselcj:
What did you mean? To send my phone to Samsung Service?:confused:
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] pranavsultania:
Lag after disconnecting the call

After upgrading to xxkph i've noticed a lag when a call is disconnected and the phone connects to the gprs/edge network. The phone icon continues to show on the top left corner for a few seconds even after disconnecting the call. Also, when i'm on a call and i get a call wait, the tone can be heard by the person i am talking to...
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
Yes. That's about the only thing you can do if nothing else works out.

That's the strangest thing I've heard yet! Try a re-flash and if it persists get your hardware checked. Might be a faulty mic or feedback loop.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] louisney:
I use bluetooth A2DP to listen music! however, I found a problem. when listening music, then turn off screen, after 1 miniute, the music will stop.

I had tested that it is only on 3rd party music apps such as poweramp. when I use stock music player, no such problem at all when I turn off screen. also, when I use wired headphone, no problem.

I used froyo before, no such problem.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] marselcj:
I did a full reset, flash again XXKPH with Odin (only XXKPH Pda), hard reset again! Erased the presets APN network, and reinstall them (net&mms) automatically from my provider (Orange).

Nothing changed! GMail is Off when the screen is Off.:( But if I do a "refresh", the emails come along... And on WiFi it's ok, no bugs, works like charm.

I don't know what to say anymore.... When I was on Froyo I had the same settings on APN and GMail was working very well then..

GUYS, GIVE ME SOME HELP PLEASE!

LATER EDIT:

I forgot to tell that I had this issue on XXKP9 and XXKPE too. When I was going back to Froyo, everytime, the syncing of GMail was fine. That hapens only on GGB.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Update your GMail app, then go to sync settings and change it's refresh rate.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
Okay, its definitely a network/APN issue. I had 3G constantly disconnecting on Froyo, none of that since KP7. Go to your service provider's outlet and tell them that.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] mzone1510:
Funny thing is me and @marselcj are the only 2 people facing this weird issue... i"m goin back to froyo now... :o what else can I do? there seems to be no solution to this... :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] crazi2k:
Bugs with XXKPH build

To add to the bugs list I noticed

a. Wifi on/off along with wifi 'settings' on panel ceases to work after 12hrs or 2-3 switching. I always have to reboot to h'v functional

b. Power button for ending the call is also not working. I have to end the call on the screen

Is anyone facing similar issue or got past this issue? Repeated reset or flashing is not helping. XXKB3 (froyo) worked liked charm without any issues on my phone

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] mjbri0613:
what firmware are you using before you flash it?

can you do a second flash?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Erahgon:
Also noticed that there is no multi-CSC for this (is this only for Dev ROMs?). That could be a problem for people outside Russia (and EUR too maybe), in regards to HSDPA connectivity and other operator/country specific settings. Can anyone confirm this also? Is that why we have to "upgrade" (for the lack of a better word) from XXKPE (i.e flash XXKPE then flash XXKPH)?

Just reached my FUP limit on my net connection so downloads are exteremly SLOW!!! :mad:

Thanks a lot for all the links @Space and the rest of the guys. Also Aaditya, thanks for the resumable download link. Proves invaluable :D !

@Stpsp: Could be a CWM bootloop issue (i.e incorrect CWM version). Did you try installing CWM for XXKPE on top of XXKPH? Or did you use CF-ROOT or something like that? Give details of the ROM before flashing XXKPH.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
This is why I said wait until one of the experienced guys flashes it and posts feedback.

Why don't people understand?

If a factory reset doesn't fix it, wait until one of us posts instructions and feedback. PLEASE!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jcbalunsat:
First off, jango, you posted that yo have made cyanogen and it was tagged fake by the guys who made cyanogen themselves. Number to, you just said that you did not have a pc to upload quadrant and now you say you have flashed the firmware without a PC? Then by God you are a Miracle maker or just plain fake. nuff said.

Going back, please post sensible feedback to the thread. Speed, batt and stability would be the best ones. Misledz I think has a problem with his PC so a detailed feedback would be impossible for the time being.

For the bootloop problem, first flash to a stock kpe and then flash kph. CF-Root and CWM is still not ported for this ROm which may cause instability.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ryouza:
downloading.... and awaiting for feedback from pro people, i've flashed kp7 when it came,and bugs were too bad for me... this rom howhever is an official release, kies update... so there is hope it has no bug at all, o a very few ones... for csc, it is an european rom, with ser csc, if i remember, the most used firmware froyo is kb3, wich is also european with ser csc.... it was very good indeed ,i hope this is the same....
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Aaditya2:

Good.

Can you mention what mods or tweaks you had applied, what CWM version you were on and had you converted to ext4?

In short, the exact state of your device before you flashed the KPH pda.

Have any of you played Plants vs Zombies on this firmware? As KPE has noticeable worse performance compared to Froyo ROM especially at the end of each level where it shows the "getting new plant" animation.

Sync issues

@mzone1510: Up your count to three. Had a very similar issue on KPE, and just upgraded to KPH. Issue seems to persist.

I'm not using GMail, but got two probelms: A third party app for calendar sync which isn't working in standby. And a profile app, which does not show any changes of the UMTS/GSM cells when in standby. All worked fine in Froyo. :(

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] crazbanditz:
1. I am sure someone will port them over. Patience!;)

2. Android 2.3.5 is not even official on most devices yet. Android devs are still working on it.

3. Cyanogenmod will be ported over as soon as a group of I9003 devs work together and agree to do it.

4. Probably, it is Android after all. Perhaps all phones will be supported, not just ours.

Not a good idea. Just disable SNS sync if you don't use it.

I smell a bucket-load of regional bloatware.. :p

Some apps have not been updated to work well with all 2.3 ROMs. The dev needs to update the app.

Hi, so I don't understand, does XXKPH support native mkv ( x264 ) playing ?

( please, don't suggest me any other player which can do that )

If there are people who have success with this, please give a link to that mkv file, which you've able to play on your phone's stock video player. Thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] xGiox:
i wont suggest any software,i am not sure about this format,anyway i am sure there is a program that can play in with S/D attleast(shouldn't have laggs),why would you need it to play in stock player i don't use it for anything.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ghardashyan:
Yeah I use DICE player.

But it's another question. I want to know does it support MKVs natively or not. :) Many users say that on XXKPH they CAN play MKV's on stock player. But I'm unable. I've tried about 15 files from different sources ( even 320p ) but it adds to Video player's list, it even shows the estimated time, but when I try t open it says "Unsupported file type" exactly as it was on KC1. It's strange and maybe it's because of CF-Root, or I need to reflash or something. I want to know is that problem exactly on my phone, or anybody else have this issues... :(
