It's not firmware for Xperia Minis ??
[Xperia Arc General] soldiers33:
no itsd not for mini becuase the phone selected is arc lt15. If you want to check for your own phone then follow the link and choose different phone.
[Xperia Arc General] squalldua:
selected where ?

what link ?

:confused:
[Xperia Arc General] soldiers33:
Here http://www.ptcrb.com/vendor/complete/complete_request.cfm?tab=Certified. Select the phone you want.

How it works!?

This site certifies, forwards to the SE and then head off to us!?!?

How long it takes to launch in the WotanServer !?!?

Has anyone in the UK got this without having to mince about with other countries fw etc?
[Xperia Arc General] soldiers33:
No im too waiting for the uk generic. Its already seocnd week into october and still nothing!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Xperia Arc General] BR4DOKYBrazil:
Nothing in Brazil too !!!!

Promised for the first week of October!
[Xperia Arc General] Crocodile1973:
Yeah UK no updates as yet.
[Xperia Arc General] masud7827:
I am from Bangladesh and no update yet :(
[Xperia Arc General] Awesome_Aleks:
It's been promised for end of October to early November actually, so maybe a week or so until we can realistically expect it to be launched.
[Xperia Arc General] Zyar:
The only thing I wonder about that is whether along with 2.3.4, will we get the previous ones included...

Xloud and so forth.

Imagine how long we will have to then wait for icecream sandwich.

[Xperia Arc General] bigyinn:
My 2.3.3 handset had Xloud when I got it....
[Xperia Arc General] Awesome_Aleks:
Australia hasn't received the update.

We had the original 2.3.3 update (no xLOUD etc) when it launched (it came with this) and absolutely no update since.

Our device is pretty outdated compared to foreign Arc's.

AU Generic has just recieved the new update.

I can't confirm anything until I charge my phone to half way but I believe it is V4.0.2 update.

Well i just updated to 4.0.2.A.0.42 and what i could immediately observe is that the crt screen off animation is gone (and i loved that one :( ).

xLoud seems to have remained (at least i have it in sound settings)
[Xperia Arc General] silasdm:
Upgrade finally available in Belgium using PCC
[Xperia Arc General] adieeluv:
That means SE has started rolling out 2.3.4 (4.0.2.A.0.42) update for rest of the world.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] test03:
Hi people!

On my Galaxy S i9000 I have on Juwe 5.3 (JVR) with Semaphore 1.6.0.

I have the following problem: my GPS works (good accuracy and locking speed) only when the screen is on. As soon as the screen goes off, I lose the fix and precision, while using tracking apps like Runkeeper or My Tracks and diagnostic ones like GPS Status.

I've tried to force the CPU on 1000 MHz with Voltage Control but the problem remains so I'm guessing it's not a performance issue.

Any ideas?

Everything else works fine.

Thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] upichie:
The same happens on my phone (albeit w/ CM7), but I don't mind, since that would eat the battery. I can see how that would render certain apps useless, though. I've used a few ROMs in my day, and never noticed GPS staying locked while the screen was off. I'm interested in how you'd achieve this as well.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] test03:
Hi.

Yes in fact when I was on stock the gps worked as expected but I was on froyo.

Than I updated to a beta GB and then to Juwe.

I'd prefer not to put a froyo rom just to test if possible. I'll wait for someone to come with some idea :D

Thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] test03:
Some updates:

- It seems not to be kernel releated (tried with both semaphore and CF-Root, will try also TalonDEV)

- Not rom releated also (from Juwe JVR to Simplicity JVT, passing thru stock JVT).

Any ideas?

Is there someone whose GPS stays locked even if the screen is off?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] upichie:
Interested as well. Anyone? :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nwsk:
Hmm, my gps would always lose lock if i turned off screen (froyo too).. thought that was normal behaviour
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oswade:
i thought that depends on the app. navigon has a setting which says to keep gps on or off when minimised.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtluis:
Probably this is right. Should be app-related.

I used to have a lot of GPS problems, but I solved them connecting GPS for the first time with WiFi on google maps, after that, GPs worked great without wifi being necessary anymore.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] test03:
I will try that.

It seems that also other phones are affected by this problem/feature, after the update to Gingerbread.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] test03:
Little update: the navigation app does not let the screen to turn off to not to lose gps fix.

Symply said use JVP booloader .

thx to Perka for testing it

Hmm... We have been discussing it over at GingerReal, but I didn't know it actually works.

Someone is now testing this, too. First flashing JVP then a JVS ROM. See if it works, I'll report back. :)

Thanks for this, will suggest it.

Anyone familiar with crafting a Heimdall package?

Bet I saw a thread on HowTo here on xda.

Already on JVS:

flash bootloader JVP
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] assdksl:
@DAGr8 & Perka

Thank you :) It seems that JVP bootloaders solved the problem. Testing.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] awesomeandroid:
testing

Just downloaded and trying it now :)

edit:

using Odin 1.82, flashed only bootloader, I'm still facing wifi problem. Must I tick the bootloader update too at Odin 1.82? (downloaded JVP bootloader at perka's file stash).

Now reflashing whole ROM from JVO, to see whether it helps.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] wcg707:
I'm using stock JVS. How do we produce the issue with wifi since mine working correctly? Appreciate if I can reproduce the error and then apply this fix to see if tis fixed it or not. Lol, does this make sense?

Just flash in pda, and u need the wifi.cofig with the missing line

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=720359&d=1316082186

Its a cwm zip.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] awesomeandroid:
will try it and report back :).

Is this correct procedure.

1) Clean flash JVS using Odin 1.85

2)Flash JVP bootloader using Odin 1.85 (don't have to tick bootloader update and don't have to tick re-partition)

3) Flash the jvs wifi zip in CWM.

Correct?

EDIT*

I give up, it doesn't work.

either with JVP's bootloader or JVS's bootloader it doesn't work, I flashed the CWM zip too.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] assdksl:
Hi, i have flashed JVP bootloaders and CWM, and for the moment it seemed that it does the trick. But i was wrong. Disconections are still present. I made an impression that disconnections are not so frequent, but after 2-3 minutes, wifi disconnects.

I have Stock JVS, Semaphore 1.70, and i can confirm that problem still persist.

I saw that many people suggest static ip address, and removing address filtering. but this will not solve the problem if i want to use wifi somewhere else :)

Can someone confirm that this, or some other solution worked for him, and that he is not using static ip, and no security?

Thank you
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] awesomeandroid:
I myself is in the same exact situation as you. Tried many ways, the one u mentioned, doesn't seems to be helping :(.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] simone201:
All the issues are surely Kernel Related, i hope samsung will release updated sources soon with a proper fix...

SO FLASHING JVP BOOTLOADERS ISN'T REQUIRED!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] assdksl:
In other thread djdeeles said:

So i can assume that this is XXJVS related, and that we need to wait samsung to fix it or release sources.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] simone201:
Yeah, you're right...

As i wrote above, the issue is kernel related, we can only hope that samsung will release an update for kernel sources to figure out what was the issue! ;)

No problem here with ElinROM JVS v.3 + Talon kernel JVS
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DAGr8:
Maybe you right maybe you not,I wish,you,wouldnt,say,its not required clearly,it solved the problem for many so its still worth a shot ...about kernel, many are fine on stock jvs and others arent so its a bit confusing... Sorry to see its not fix for everyone I still think its worth tryin a few bl before givin up
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] awesomeandroid:
I tried many bootloaders, from JVP, JVR, JVQ, doesnt work.

Tried adding the missing line? doesnt work.

Tried changing kernel? doesnt work.

Changing wifi driver? doesnt work.

It frustrates me that not everyone facing this problem. I use wifi alot and this is srsly a big annoyance for me. Still finding fixes for this tho. Hope someone out there can figure out what's wrong and provide fix.

I hope. I just finished ROM, but the problem is wifi. It will not connect. If someone finds a solution, let me send in a PM!!

[Galaxy S II General] ap3604:
I was looking to purchase a Samsung Galaxy SII i9100 (U.K. version) but I know that Samsung won't honor the warranty since its a not a U.S. phone.

I was reading some old threads on this about how for $94 Squaretrade will insure your phone for $600 for two years but some people said they would cover it and some said they wouldn't...

Then I got this directly from Squaretrade's website:

"Coverage Details

2 years of coverage: The SquareTrade Smartphone warranty covers your Smartphone for up to 2 years, starting on the date of purchase.

Covered Issues: Both accidents (e.g., broken screen or other damage through drops AND liquid damage including full immersion) and out-of-warranty normal use failures (e.g., battery no longer charging or other hardware failures) are covered. We do not cover loss, theft, willful damage or damage occurring through gross misuse."

This scared the hell out of me, I've never used Squaretrade before. Lets say something goes wrong and I contact them for support... wouldn't they just say "sorry we only cover out-of-warranty repairs you need to go to Samsung U.K. since you have a 1st year warranty through them" ??? :confused:

Kind of a big purchase (over $600) so I need to be sure that I am covered before pulling the trigger :(

Also does anyone know the general cost of shipping a galaxy s i9100 from the U.S. to the U.K. for samsung to repair it?

Thanks for you help I really appreciate it.

P.S. in case anyone says to search I already looked through both of the U.S. warranty threads and didn't find an answer ;)
[Galaxy S II General] BarryH_GEG:
If you a buy a phone in its country of intended sale from an authorized Samsung dealer it's covered by Samsung's two-year global warranty. So if you buy it in the UK and have it shipped to the U.S. it'll be covered as you'll have a receipt from the UK in GBP. Expansys-USA also sends phones they sell in the U.S. back to the UK for repair through their office there. Now that the phone's being sold in the U.S. there's a good chance you could get a UK phone under warranty repaired here. Samsung's very strict and requires a receipt and/or a credit card statement before they repair a phone under warranty. They also have a DB of serial numbers that show which phones were sent to which resellers. Their warranty system is hard to scam.

SquareTrade does cover gray market phones. This is from their T&C:

If the manufacturer refuses to honor their warranty because they consider your item grey market or not purchased from an authorized retailer, we will still cover you.

And yes, assuming you get your phone from the UK or from Expansys-USA, SquareTrade only covers what the manufacturer doesn't. But if you crack the screen or cause damage to the phone that Samsung woudn't cover it's still good to have SquareTrade as a back-up.

Owning a gray market phone is a pain in the ass if something goes wrong. If it has to be repaired in the UK you'll be without for a couple of weeks. If you want the safety and security of carrier insurance and swaps for defects stick with an American version.
[Galaxy S II General] ap3604:
So if I purchase through Expansys-USA that means I still have the 2 year (or is it 1 year since it was bought from a Expansys branch in the States?) warranty and if anything goes wrong I send it to their U.S. branch which then forwards it to their U.K. branch to get repaired?

Is there any sort of warranty f.a.q. on Expansys website that says this in writing that I can print out? I looked on their website and found nothing detailing this U.S. to U.K. forwarding process and don't wan't to have something go wrong and then later on an Expansys-USA rep that doesn't know much telling me "Ooooh no sir, we don't do that... you have to go through Samsung U.K. yourself to get repairs"

Gezz why the heck does Samsung make it so hard for Americans? You'd think they would want to make it easier for potential customers to buy their products that make them money instead of blacklisting the product from warranty and turning sales away :(
[Galaxy S II General] BarryH_GEG:
In essence, Expansys

is

your warranty. I'm guessing they act as middle-man for the life of the Samsung warranty which, internationally, is two years. You really need to check with them.

E-mail their sales group and ask them to send you an e-mail confirming their policy. If you want to buy the phone in the UK, Handtec, Clove, and CleverBoxes all ship to the U.S.

The U.S. carriers are their bread and butter. They'd rather funnel all their sales through them rather than compete by selling unlocked phones direct.
[Galaxy S II General] angelomaldito:
Easy...

Simple, throw it into the toiled before claiming the insurance. :D

hello people first apologize if I posted in the wrong place, I bought a shift with a month of use still under warranty I got it yesterday, and installed windows 7 with this guide (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php? t = 513638) formatted it 4 times, did everything to the letter and sent my card over wi-fi network and not connect it up to find my network no longer connects at all, I called HTC allowed Brazil they said I lost the warranty formatted as a shift please help me I do not know what to do already formatted for desktop and notebook dozens more is the first time you step so I do not think it is hardware problem until he finds the network with optimal signal just not connecting.

note: the network is running fine on a netbook us she and ipad normal shift that not only works
