[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] [GR]Frostbyte:
1) There are only 2.3-based roms available atm.. As for official ICS, don't hope on it.. Samsung shafted both us and the fellow sgs users, providing us with a value pack, instead of ICS.. The only way an ICS (AOSP probably) to happen, are the devs here.

In theory, the battery life should be more (by how much, I don't know), because the main feature would be hardware acceleration (should also affect responsiveness, I think)

2) Regarding root, Elmar nailed the point pretty much. Works on any rom, just as long you have a recovery to boot from.

Since you haven't bought it yet, though. I would suggest that you shouldn't.. Get another device, we have very very few devs, and our device doesn't get love from either samsung or cyanogenmod. I've also heard that it's pretty weirdly put together (in terms of config and hardware) making it not only difficult/strange to code for, but also easier to brick. (potentially hard brick)

Another question regarding the post I made (quoted below)

What part of a rom controls the reception/signal, can I flash this part seperately and if so where can i get them? :confused:

Instead of trying different roms I wanted to try and flash the part that controls the signal just to see if I can fix the problem I am having, it's a great little phone but I can't use it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rayiskon:
it's the modem , baseband, radio , call it what u want :) usually phone threads have those extracted from every rom and put on a list and make that thread a sticky, but we don't have such a thread. nways, flashing a stock rom with odin should change ur radio version.

or try kq1's modem extracted in broodrom , see post 2 under wifi fix.

which stock bootanimation, the croatian t-mobile or the fading S ?

the odin report is ok, it's the progress of flashing. as for ur question if i have an idea, to be honest i don't know, only 1 thing comes to my mind, are u sure it's not a GSM / CDMA case ? have u tried switching settings->wireless and networks->mobile network settings->network mode-> and switch between gsm or cdma .. i don't know if it would have any effect or if it's even related to ur issue..

Fading S plus bootanimation. My phone is contract free and its not branded.

P.s. i found old i9000 bootanimation but that is soo 2010ish :-D

Sent from my GT-I9001
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rayiskon:
the fading S is not in our bootanimation collection, so i can't help u with a link. but, just as a note,stock roms with stock kernels use another format of files, the .qmg one , skyhigh didn't delete ur files (if u flashed it over a stock rom) , it just doesn't support those .qmg files. so there are 2 solutions for that, u either reflash a stock kernel and it will be able to use the qmg bootanimation files , or unpack the boot.img of skyhigh and somewhere in the ramdisk change the values for bootanimation (unpack a stock kernel and compare them), and when ur finished repack skyhigh boot.img.

Hey all!

I'd like to ask a question for anyone who knows.

I'm using Doomlord's Easy Rooting Toolkit (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1321582) to root my phone (2.3.6 XXKPS). It always worked perfect but the last time i noticed something strange.

I had flashed my phone again with XXKPS because i tried the new value pack ROM but didn't like it because of the bugs it has. When i ran the Doomlord's Toolkit it deleted Google Maps because it displayed that my system partition was full!!!

I don't really mind because i would delete Google Maps anyway. But this happened for the first time and i'm wondering:

- Does the system partition fill up with every flash we make?

- Are we supposed to do something like wipe system partition before flashing a new ROM? (eg through recovery)

Thanks in advance!

PS: I always do a full wipe before and after a ROM flash (*2767*3855#).

What was best stock rom so far for our device? I read a lot of different opinions but most of them pointing at I9001XXKQ1 ? Am I right?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mihnead:
just a small camera fix i figured out on the can just now, apparently if you erase the camera app's cache, you stop getting the "camera failed" messages. so that's settings > applications > manage applications: the all tab > camera: clear data :)

mind you, i'm running a custom rom (simplified? forgot the name), but i noticed the error pops up all over the place.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wintel_mac:
Well normally Samsung simply clutters /system with as much as they can, so sometimes there are only few kilobytes left. If you then need to copy something to /system (like the root files su and superuser.apk), you need some free space, which you don't have. I guess he implemented some function to delete e.g. maps to gain some free space.

But no, /sytem is not getting fuller and fuller with every ROM you flash since it is normally erased to remove all old files from your previous ROM.

And it is of course not good to wipe /system befor applying root since you then have root but no bootable system which makes you phone a bit useless ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quendil:
Hehe no i meant wiping system partition before flashing a new ROM.

But thanks you for your answer! I was hoping that ODIN erases the old files from the previous ROM. It just surprised me when i saw that tool do that for the first time.

i also noticed this when i turn screen off, but it doesn't happen everytime i turn screen off. for me that pixel is located in the upper half of the screen , somewhere in the middle, thought it was an individual issue, but anyways, i don't think it should cause any problems.

wow! we have the exact same pixel problem lol :D so i think this means "its normal" hehehe.... saved me a visit to the service center hehehehe..... but its the first time I encountered this in any devices that I have.... so this means my samsung jet is much more durable than my S+ coz my baby always throws it but still doesn't have a scratch and a problem in pixel screen :cool:... thanks again rayiskon :)

so far its not a dead pixel (so far!) i just notice it during lockscreen..... i tried to use stock 2.3.5 (KSA version) same problem.... also tried broodrom/UCM/Simplistic and other roms still same problem... but its really weird during pixel test its not actually there :confused: really puzzled... but hey! as long as its not a dead pixel i guess i'm good to go! hehehehe

do u use "noled" app from the market, or "turn off the lights" app maybe ??
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rykn21x:
i dont use "noled" (actually i don't know what noled is :D) and "turn off the lights"

i used the antutu tester, bad pixel test and dead pixel test for testing...

Edit : i use the default lockscreen button on QQ launcher for locking my screen... but even fresh installation i encounter the stuck pixel....
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rayiskon:
turn off the lights is a widget u add to homescreen so u can turn ur screen off instead of using the power button, and when i saw the pixel i turned it off with that widget.

as for noled, it shows u an onscreen notification, since the galaxy S and it's variations don't have a buit-in led for notifications. so it turns off the whole screen, and lights a pixel (or several ones near each other) so u can see if u got an sms or missed a call :)

Battery consumption

Well here I am, back with battery problems and some screenshots. Today I manage full one day to completely drain my battery. Can someone take a look at this pictures and tell me what is wrong? Last night my phone was even in Airplane mode and for 3 hours consumed 12-16 mAh which is way too high imho. Energy consumption raised from 2-4 mAh to 12-16 mAh in the middle of the night without any reason?!? I will pull out battery history out, later when i fully charge my dead phone.. :cool:

i don't see anything suspicious in the first picture. nways, today my phone is at 19% in 22hrs , but i watched youtube for nearly an hour , edited some photos, used camera, surfed xda and web a lot, had some whatsapp talks, wifi was all the time ON.. basically i used it a lot. from what i see in ur picture it was not on heavy use, and managed to consume that battery. just as a notice, the S+ is not like a wildfire or a desire that it consumes -2mAh on airplane mode, or up to -5mAh on standby, it consumes significantly more ;) . but u might be facing some partial wakelocks during the night, download betterbatterystats app, and see what is waking ur phone during the night and how much is the awake time in regard to the time it was on standby, if it's awake for a long time, then obviously u have a problem, there might be some app that is causing this, and since this depends from one user to another, try to identify that app using better battery stats.(of course, taking into consideration that ur battery is caliberated properly).

Deep sleep 77% (15hrs) , imo , i don't think that's bad :)

Well, I'm an idiot..

I flashed that early CM9 build to test it out, and by accident I enabled wifi..

As expected, the device would freeze on boot, or bootloop..

And then I had the bright idea of removing the battery, since the phone wouldn't shutdown properly (so I could start the recovery myself)

Now the phone will not power up no matter what I try (power on, power on & vol+, or power on & vol+ & home)

I guess I hard-bricked it? (Wtf, I only pulled the battery out during startup)

I tried:

Powering it on without SD Card, SIM, Battery - just the charger. Nothing happened.

I removed the battery for around 20 sec, plugged it back in. Nothing still

I tried plugging it to the charger while holding vol+ & power. Nothing again..

The phone doesn't want to power on anymore :/

Right now I removed the battery and held power for 20sec.. How long should I wait until I put the battery back in?

Also, do I have to try this multiple times until it gets unstuck? Or if it doesn't work with the first try it's bricked?

Seriously, how can pulling the battery out during the CM boot screen brick it? O.o

Some phones do not power up when there is no battery in them. I experienced this when I got my SGS+ brand new as I wanted to try it without battery connected to charger first.

This could at least explain why the battery-out-but-charger-in method did not work. What I would try, as your phone seems pretty much dead... set up your PC with ODIN and a stock ROM loaded in it. Insert your battery and connect your USB cable and without additional waiting try to start it in download mode. Maybe this helps. If it does not... I guess you will have to pay some bucks to a guy with a JTAG or go to a repair center (and tell them you used Kies :D while it happened).
