Same here I have never had any problems with wifi on any previous build. But now it reconnects. I'm thinking it might be by design to get better batterylife. So when the signal is to low for wifi it disconnects instead of trying to connect over and over again. Or do you get disconnects even when sitting next to router?

[Galaxy S I9000 General] benjieg:
Hi,

Could you please help me with applying this update.

I flashed the ROM, then flashed the CF-Root kernel, then flashed this patch for BLN. I tried using BLN control but it says it needs a compatible kernel. Is this patch supposed to make my phone work with BLN Control? Or do I need to flash a kernel with BLN support, then flash this update?

Thanks.

Your screen cap is cut off. Which PIT file are you using?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sedwards1969:
i was using 512
[Galaxy S I9000 General] PaulN543:
Hi! Recently flashed this firmware on to my Galaxy S and found only the 512 PIT file works. Also, to anyone that is having trouble flashing with Odin I would try several different USB ports. I had to use 3 differebt ones before it would flash properly. Hope this is useful to someone. Just one other thing, THIS ROCKS - I love the lock screen.

Hi pikachu,

I know you are trying to help us, thank you for that.

But my reasoning is this: why would the phone discharge, even if a 24/7 wakelock was in place while the phone is connected to the power??? :confused: At least it should charge to 100%, start using battery until a certain value and then recharge (repeat), not the phone being ~ 40% in the morning, don't you think that's correct?

As said before, no other phone in the market experiences this behavior by design (phone uncharging while connected and when you go to pick it up after a while it has less charged than when you plugged it)

Li batteries can be charged about 1000 up to 2000 times.

If you charge every day, the battery will live 3 to 5-6 years.

If you charge 10 times per night (between 95 and 100%) you kill your battery in a year or less.

But JVT modem doesn't has the 850 MHz (i.e., no 3G for us), am I right?

The same thing happens with the Ginberbread updated with Kies so... you are quite wrong.

Yeah, that's right, so the charger should trickle charge it to keep it at ~100 % (closest possible). Do you think that it's correct to go pick up the phone and it to be in 40yish%?

Are you kidding me guys? What other device (phone, notebook, Palm, iPaq, etc.) works like that, that it charges to 100% then all hell break loose and the device will discharge until the end, all while being plugged to the charger??? :confused:

[Galaxy S I9000 General] lgsshedden:
the modem for JVU does have the 850 band included and does work: unfortunately, I had problems as the phone went in and out of coverage and I spent a lot of time re-authorizing. Wasn't sure what was the issue or how to fix it. Know others have had better luck but as I need the phone to function reliably I just relfashed the KG3 modem and it has been working great.

One big improvement over all other firmaware is the GPS performance -- finally fixed.

I also find this to be the best overall firmware yet for speed and smoothness. Some minor bugs with phone.apk and calender.apk FC but those are easily resolvable.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Dan_Aykroyd:
Thanks. Are you 100% that JVT modem has the 850 band and it wasn't a left over (no wipe) from your previous 850 enabled modem?

I ask again because I thought the only modems with that band were the canadian ones and not the XX series...

Thanks again!!!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] pikachu01:
Actually, if you google it, the Droid also faces the same problem. And the charger doesn't trickle charge as trickle charge can sometimes reduce the life of the battery.

Take my advice. See what's draining your phone and solve that.

there are plenty of modems that use the 850 band and definitely not just Canada. There is a thread here listing all modems that have the 850 band that you can search for.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] DanDroidian:
U guys are crazy! It is most definitely a bug!

I still get it every once in a while on jvz. Usually after charging it to full and then using it briefly OFF the charger, and then plugging it back in.

Once it is FULLY charged it should then give it a "trickle charge" to keep it almost full while it's plugged in.

It's one thing to have it drop down to 97ish percent after unplugging it in the morning, but it is a BUG when it drops to 80ish percent because the trickle charge never kicked in after it hit 100%.

Please don't be those people that say "it's never happened to my phone, therefore it must but exist.."

Actually, it happened before to my phone, believe it or not :P And I won't be the one that says "Oh I never got that before, it's not a bug". Instead, I'll say, "Oh, I got that before, but it's not a bug".

I managed to solve it by uninstalling a few misbehaving apps that woke up the phone too often. The battery drain is actually attributed to a temperature issue. Do you encounter a few cases that your device fully drained and your phone is hot to hold?

Investigated it and found Tunein Radio to be the culprit (Also Lattitude was running in the background as well as Getjar). Frozed Tunein and signed out of Lattitude (I found that I did not turn on Lattitude, but I was still signed in, and this caused battery drain as well even though Lattitude is not supposed to record my location). Also froze Getjar as it wakes up the phone quite often.

In Samsung phones (in Gingerbread that I know of), trickle charge is not enabled. This is because, it ruins the battery.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Tom200:
I have some noob questions. I'm still on 2.2 since I didn't want to upgrade to 2.3.3 because of the battery bug.

Is the "inbuilt" recovery mode (that I have) good for flashing this ROM?

I haven't even installed Kies. Is that necessary or Odin works on its own?

Should these be checked or not? Read different opinions on the matter.

"Check only Re-Partition, Auto reboot & F. Reset time in option"

Is a Pit-file needed? Cache wipe?

Also, is this less prone to the battery bug than 2.3.3? How about a Wifi disconnect bug I read about somewhere?

Excuse me for these stupid questions but I'm grateful if someone will answer.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] DanDroidian:
That is simply NOT true. I agree that u may have had some excessive drain from some crazy apps, but that is not the same issue.

Tell me this? If ur theory were true, why can I start charging my phone the evening before, and use it while it charges all the way up to FULL, and continue using it A LOT while it's plugged in ALL EVENING and a lot THAT NIGHT, and then unplug it THE NEXT DAY in the early afternoon and it says 98ish% and I STILL get another FULL DAY's use out of it? With ur theory that would be IMPOSSIBLE!

Either it has a trickle charge and tries to keep it "topped off" OR it charges to 100% and then uses the AC power and NOT the battery while it's charging. Either way, if u unplug if after charging it for many hours and it drops down to 70-80ish%, that is a BUG, NOT a feature, my friend.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] pikachu01:
Actually, do you bother reading the link I've posted?

The battery normalizes itself to 100% when plugged in. Even when the battery is draining, it'll still say 100%. When you unplug, the battery gauge will lie to you about the current battery (It'll still be around 90%ish, then normalize itself as the day go by). - Read the link please.

Here's a commit that fixes this: https://github.com/pikachu01/linux_gt-i9000-gb/commit/18fb4bb7eb3588b583bd38a380170925ff0f16bc

[Galaxy S I9000 General] SnoopyDog:
Battery charge bug is gone here with this software + CF-root. I started charging yesterday when i went to bed and now i unplugged the charger, the battery first had 96%, then 97%.

With all versions after 2.3.3, the battery was first charged to ~100% and then massively discharged by the OS while plugged to the charger - when you unplugged with these versions, the battery had 90%, 86%, ... depends how long you leaved the phone plugged to the charger and you had to unplug and charge again.

But this is gone now.

LoL, the link u previously posted says that they DO stay on 90-100% when they are charging. How can they do that if they continue to drain, as u claim? That contradicts what u are trying to say!

Either way, it's a bug! Sometimes I unplug it in the morning and it is at 100ish%, and other times it shows that it has "drained" down to 70-80ish%.... It's NOT consistent, therefore it IS a problem no matter which way is the "proper" way...

Again, ur theory wouldn't explain how I could leave it charging all day and use it (while it's still plugged in), and unplug it the NEXT morning and STILL get a normal day's use out of it.

Notice that the post is from Droid Incredible? Referring to the code, Samsung didn't have the trickle charge ability.

The inconsistency is based on misbehaving apps. One example is Facebook chat. If you leave it open, it'll drain your battery as it checks for new messages. If you leave the chat, the wakelock will be eliminated.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] DanDroidian:
Again, I understand ur theory, but it's just not possible given my experience with it.

One last question for to enlighten me on...

Let's say, for one second, that ur theory is true, and it just starts to drain after it fully charges. U are saying that even though it MIGHT show 99% when I unplug it from the charger that it could actually be on 80%, right? Well, if that is the case, then why when I wake up and unplug it and it says "99%" I can put it back on the charger AND IT ONLY TAKES A FEW MINUTES TO SAY FULLY CHARGED AND STAY ON 100%?

Only 2 possible answers, assuming ur theory is true (about it saying 99% but is actually at 80% like in this example):

It actually charges the 20% extra to reach a true 100% when I unplug it within a few minutes, which is obviously impossible...

Or...

It just charges it a few minutes and lies and SAYS it's at 100% when it is really only at around 82% (thus making that link about "bump charging" total bs). If this is true, how would u ever be able to charge it up to 100% again?

Either way, ur theory holds no water.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] pikachu01:
There are three things that needs to be understood here.

One: No trickle charge in SGS.

Two: Some misbehaving apps can sometimes trigger indiscriminate wake locks that drain the battery.

Three: The heat from charging affects dischargers (It might hasten discharge) - Not a theory, but a gut feel.

Your explanation of the above can be described with the combination of two or more of the above.

I've offered a few examples, Facebook, Tunein, Lattitude. All of these can drain the battery due to a few simple settings in the app.

Also note that placing your phone in an obscure place and letting it connect to a weak network can drain your battery like a m*fo. This happened to me once. I burried my phone under my a few layers of pillow/comforter and the battery drained when charging. A few hours later, phone can't be turned on, and the heat from the phone was unbelievable.

And please stop with the personal attacks :/

@pikachu:

Again, I understand what you are trying to say, that misbehaving with wakelocks use a lot of power, but if the phone is connected to the charger, it simply wouldn't have to discharge, no matter if I was streaming and watching an HD video 24/7 (power hungry task), the phone should stay at ~100% after I unplug it.

Sorry but it's crazy to say that is a feature that even though the phone is plugged, it's will uncharge itself to death if left plugged just because of some wakelocks.

I know you are a respected and great developer / modder, so I'm astonished to hear this reasoning for you.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] pikachu01:
Here's how I think it works:

1. Phone charges to 100%.

2. Phone disconnects from power supply. Charging stops. Discharging starts

3. Wakelocks and/or weak network signal continues to drain the battery.

4. Heat dissipation from the wakelocks + charging worsens the discharge. (I remember reading this somewhere, or was it from physics, I don't remember well).

5. Phone is dead from discharging.

The phone doesn't have a direct pathway to the power supply. Only the battery is exposed to the power supply (which is rational as they made it safer this way, they are also limited by the thinness of the phone that having a direct pathway would require putting more hardware in the phone).

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Dan_Aykroyd:
The thing is that this didn't happened before GB stock ROMs, neither happens with certain GB custom ROMs as I've read (CM I think and others, maybe), plus it's not acceptable to think that a phone will discharge until dead while it's plugged to a power source.

Think about your laptop, would you accept if it charged until 100% and then while you were using it you would have to unplug / plug from time to time in order for it to not die?
