Hi all you experts out there here is one for you - In most locations I have, more or less, the same signal strength as a stock SGS maybe 2-4 db less then the stock. In one specific location the stock gets a good signal, -77db 17asu, and my phone does not detect the network at all. Needless to say that both phones are on the same network. What on earth can cause this? Tried many different modems - from perka - with the same result. Even compared it to other phones on the same network, all have good signals but mine does not see the network at all.

Thanks

my gps connects but very poorly,1 min or so..
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mgtroyas:
Same here, gps loses signal completly and then if I make a new search in sygic it finds itself but loses position again in a few seconds. Not very useful while driving!

And in other ics roms it's still worse. This is the only real problem i've found for daily usage, great work nonetheless.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] titijuli:
did you all try gps status? when installed press tools and download a-gps servers...

mine get fixed in a few seconds :)

you can unninstall this app after that
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] saphirrot:
yeah bro, its that same like GPSAids. No effect. The problem is definitly the GPS driver..
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Damijan81:
Just tried that and nothing happened. It says that it worked and a reboot is recommended but nothing shows up after i do that. Anybody have any Ideas. Could it be that my Nandroid backup didn't work properly initially? Also why does titanium backups not restore system data but does restore app and data?

Does this means that I flash first it will fix the data partition!

Then when I flash again my phone will be same performance again? I don't want to make my phone laggy.

But I'm getting low storage space warning when I have nearly 1.5GB free. What can I do to fix that??

Question

Does anyone know how to activate the feature where the the lights besides the home button blink as reminders when we receive a message/call??? :confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] elhennig:
This is caused by the way CM uses partitions. Replace the link /data/data --> /datadata by a directory an copy the contents of /datadata to that directory.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kathees:
Can you explain little detail please how to do this? I tried to flash that DataFix.zip but my phone was so slow. So I flashed again and now it's fast. But again getting that error.

Strangely like someone mentioned here earlier my gmail synchronization not working :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] elhennig:
- Get a shell (terminal or adb shell) with su

- cd /data

- rm ./data

- mkdir data

- cp -r /datadata/* ./data/

Of course you do all this on your own risk!

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kathees:
Thanks Man! I'll try this now. Just a quick question before that what will it do exactly? It's not doing the same thing as the flashing DataFix.zip right?

Because when I flashed that my phone got very slow. I reflashed that. But in this method there is no going back so that why im just thinking :) Have you noticed any performance difference when you do this?

I completely understand it's on my own risk :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] elhennig:
I don't know what DataFix.zip does. I just found out that the solution with /datadata does not work as I expected and I changed the filesystem according to the description above.

The commands mentioned above do exactly what I wrote in the post before the last one.

I did not notice any kind of lag after these changes....

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kathees:
Mmmm okay. I tried this but suddenly lot of my applications reported that there are force closing. After a reboot I lost my homepage settings and I couldn't see the applications which I moved to SD card in the app drawer!

I don't know why that happened so just restored my nandroid backup. Un installed Chrome to make some space and now that warning gone. (Almost 50MB it took)

I'll look for the reasons and better way soon. Because I always try lot of applications :)

Thanks for your time again!!! :o
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] elhennig:
You could check if /data/data is really a link: Go to /data and run "busybox ls -l "

Did the "cp -r" run correctly? Are permissions in the destination dir ok? Otherwise run "busybox cp -rp...."

Try the following:

mkdir /data/data2
busybox cp -a /datadata/* /data/data2/

Then verify that all files from /datadata/ have been copied to /data/data2/ and permission are the same

Then run (presuming /data/data is still a link to /datadata)

rm /data/data
mv /data/data2 /data/data

After this you should reboot the phone.

Hi Paul,

Can we expect new ROM version based on 4.0.3 (maybe RC 4.3?) or you guys waiting for AOSP 4.0.4?

It's possible to put the keyboard Gingerbread 3x4 with this ROM? Where can I get it? Thanks for your help! :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ophirb:
No idea any one? This is really a puzzling one and no one find it interesting enough to reply with some ideas what to do?

I get the feeling that Samsung knows some tweak to get a more sensitive reception that is not a common knowledge, and so a stock ROM gets better signal then the cooked ones.

Thanks and a good weekend fo all

Hey guys,

i've been using RC3.0 for quite a long time (skipped RC3.1 and RC4.0) and i

never

encountered the known 'reboot/unstable voltages' problem.

However, since i'm on RC4.1 / RC4.2, i had a couple of random reboots, most of them at night, with no foreground apps opened.

Seems a little weird to me because the unstable voltages have been fixed in RC4.

Any ideas?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Trak-X:
It has been said many times. The team is waiting for 4.0.4 official sources. For the moment 4.0.3 is at full potential. So, lets hope that Google will release the 4.0.4 sources.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] gajahwhite:
weird reading people post that they facing some problem with this ROM.. i've been using ICSSGS RC4.2 since 14/02/2012 and never face any problem or issue.. stable daily use with Data Packet, Wifi, & GPS always enable.

So i just want to share how i flash this ROM so that other people can take this as a guide.. and wish will never face problem anymore :)

This is what i did..

1) Flash Stock XXJVU [via odin]

2) Run phone & Turn it off back & went back to Download Mode

3) Flash CF-Root Kernel [via odin] (just to get CWM)

4) Run phone & reboot into CWM

5) Wipe data/factory reset [via cwm]

6) Wipe cache partition [via cwm]

7) Flash ICSSGS [via cwm]

8) Run phone & reboot into CWM

9) Flash Semaphore Kernel [via cwm]

10) Reboot & Done..

I still have some old modems leftover from my previous GB install on my I9000. Can I use one of these modems (flash it) and will it gibve me my 850 band back? Or can someone give me a link to a modem that will work with ICS that will enable my 850?!?

Hey mate, I am also in SK and using this ROM. I have been using the both JL2 and KC1 modems built for CM7 with no issue. You can flash any modem built for CM7.

Battery, the old new problem

Dear friends,

Last night I installed Team ICSSGS RC4.2 ICS Rom on the great CM7. All went smooth and clean (with a little problem with Titanium restore, that I already had had with the installation of CM7).The rom is very good as the ICS it self.

Till now I had no functional problems, at all.

However I see that the battery is not what I expected. He drained 14% in 9 hours without anything on, only in stand-by . In the same period with equal conditions CM7 would consume only 4/5 %.

I have not calibrated the battery, as the battery did not ran a full cycle, yet.

Is this drain value normal? Should I change anything, for example install another kernel?

I like very much this rom but CM7 battery behavior is quite important for me.

Thank you guys :)

(PS: for Team ICSSGS, congratulations, great job)

Hi, great ROM. One problem though I get a low phone storage notice but I still have quite a bit space left.

In fact my System ROM is a lot bigger now that I've deleted some apks like face recognition.

Looking at titanium backup my System ROM is like 20mb(fresh install was like 10mb) and all other storage(sd ext/internal, etc.) are still in the gigabytes.

What's triggering this Low Phone Storage notice?

My phone looking at titanium backup:

System ROM: 262MB (24.8 MB free)

Internal: 1.98GB (1.62 GB free)

Internal eMMC: 7.97GB (1.92GB free)

SD card: 14.4GB (5.65GB free)

Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] cha-ka-lak:
it's the datadata partition which has been introduced as a separate partition with Android 4. I assume, your device lacks free space there.

Move some large apps to SD, then you should be fine.

At least - this fixed this issue for me.

I had bit of a look around myself thru Nandroid back up and the mmssms.db file is their but when you copy it over to the new spot the sms will show when you click on messages app but as soon as you click on an actual sms it shuts down. But when you move the Nandroid backed up version of Contacts.db file over to the new location the contact app wont even open, it just reboots the phone.

Captivate vs I9000 difference

Is there an a way to tell the if I have a captivate or i9000? I would search but I don't have a search button for some reason. My carrier is AT&T. I am running ICS for I896/897 from ICSSGS. When I boot my phone it starts with Galaxy I9000. Is there a difference that has much of an impact?

The reason I ask is back in the GB and earlier days, I would flash roms from 9000 and captivate. But I understand it makes a bigger difference with ICS, especially with the kernels. I hate the phone layout in the ICS and miss the GB type layout. So, wanting to try different ICS roms, I was wanting to know if there is a issue with trying 9000 vs captivate.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] cantIntoCode:
Time to enforce this rule:

Anyone with problems that doesn't want to capture logs and help us out can go chew a brick. Posting 'X and Y don't work' is pointless and gets us nowhere, maybe some steps to replicate the bug would be helpful if you don't post logs but people don't do that.

Already mentioned this on IRC, but I'm not sure if anyone paid any attention, so I'll repeat:

Facebook sync is broken in RC4.2. It seems the permissions for com.facebook.katana have been patched in ContactsProvider.apk, but at least the required column "is_restricted" is still missing from the contacts database.

Though events syncing is what I would really need, and I believe fixing that requires more effort than a simple SQL script.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ZioGTS:
Go into system settings and look for system info. Usually it's the last on the bottom. Check your model number. If you have no letters after i9000 then you don't have a captivate.

It depends on the kernel you have installed. If you´re on the original kernel the lights are burning, not blinking. You´re on Semaphore you have to install that BLN app and activate it. Or you have the Devil kernel on your phone then you can activate it via nstools.

I used Titanium backup and the messages are restored however every time I tried to open one Messaging FCd, this doesn't happen to new messages I made inside ICS. So I have like thousands of GB messages in the Messaging app that I can't open and a few ICS messages that I can.

Does anybody have some issues with Modern Combat 2? I bought it 2 months ago. On gingerbread Jvu with semaphore it worked without any problems. Now (on Rc4.2) it does not work. I installed it just after flash icy glitch kernel. To clarify: I did not restore a backup from titanium, it was download from market again. Game was installed without any problem and necessary game files were downloaded. Game stop just after start. Ver of the game is 1.2.6, what seems to be weird. I checked few forums and I find a informations about proper version for SGS and it should be 3.3.0. I got it from "some place" and install. Game started without any problems but after second mission it returns to the desktop. I'm so angry, I bought this (5 euro) and cannot play. Can you help?

And second issue. I checked icy glitch, devil and semaphore kernel. With semaphore I cannot overclock. I choose 1300 in semaphore script but it does not work. With glitch and devil oc runs without an problems.

I'm assuming the above command requires a connection to a PC with adb.

If you're out and about you can try this. Download a terminal emulator. In it type

su

then

logcat -b radio > /sdcard/log.txt

You need the su command to enable super user priviledges

and the log.txt created in the sdcard directory as it is writable
