Prolly in the wrong section but i just finished the simpleroot n it worked great, but now im lost on wat to do next. I cant figure out how to put a ROM on the phone. Im lost on wat to do next, any help would be appreciated.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elegantai:
Download rom onto the sdcard

boot into recovery: power off, wait a couple sec's, hold volume down + tap power while continuing to hold volume down, white screen comes up (make sure any pc36img.zip file is removed from your sdcard before this step), then choose recovery

Choose wipe from recovery

Wipe factory data, cache, and dalvik cache

Choose flash from zip (or sdcard)

Choose the zip you put on your sdcard

confirm and flash

Thank u very much. Ive had the iphone since day one n the jailbreaking process is pretty straight forward. Im just so confused wit all these diff ROMs n such.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elegantai:
I understand, these forums have grown tremendously over the past month and a half or so!!! The wiki being down doesnt help either... I am debating putting one up since it seems to be on extended vacation
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tarheelsmj12001:
Yea ive been watching the forums n they are out of hand now lol but in a good way. N wit the wiki down like u said its really difficult.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tarheelsmj12001:
in all the ROMs i keep seeing ppl talkin about NAND unlock, do i have that?? or do i still need to get it??
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elegantai:
you should have, yes.

To check, connect phone to computer, open command prompt, issue command: adb remount rw

if that is successful then you most certainly have your nand unlocked
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tarheelsmj12001:
ok really stupid question. do i open command on my comp or the phone?? i opened it on my comp n typed wat u said, but im not sure it did it in the right location.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elegantai:
for brevity sake, if you dont have a terminal emulator, download it from the market on your phone.

Then type:

su

remount rw
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tarheelsmj12001:
im very sorry. it says remount not found
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elegantai:
lol, I dont know why that never works for anyone else :D must be the kitchen I am using.

Anyway, if you didnt get any errors, then most likely your nand is unlocked so I wouldnt worry about it to much. Just make sure you have a solid nandroid backup and you should be good to go.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tarheelsmj12001:
ok so i guess im gonna have to do some reading on nandroid backup bc i have no clue wat that is or how to do it or get it lol
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elegantai:
lol, you should do that anyway but nandroid backup can be found from your recovery. All you have to do is select the menu (nandroid or something like that) and select backup. It is used in case you mess anything up, you have a backup to restore :D
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tarheelsmj12001:
oh ok gotcha, so when i put my phone into recovery i cant find where it says anything about nandroid backup, i clicked on recovery n i got an orange triangle
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elegantai:
try volume up and power when you are on that screen
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tarheelsmj12001:
thats wat i did n it restarted the phone. so i dont have nandroid then??
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elegantai:
I am more or less thinking one of the steps didnt work while rooting your phone. I thought that simpleroot flashes a custom recovery... I will have to check it out.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] novanosis85:
After rooting my phone using simpleroot I used the toast method for rooting and name unlock.

I thought simple root was just simple root.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tarheelsmj12001:
U might be right, now i gotta find toasts method for nand unlock lol

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Doward:
Rather than start another thread on this, why does the image that is included with SimpleRoot change various permissions on files vs completely stock?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elegantai:
Rooting is just that, gaining root permissions over the system. So in order to maintain that while running inside of the OS, it changes system permissions so you can grant applications root permissions

This may give us some sense on how widespread the issue is. No answers based on informal fixes please.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pika007:
Meaningless poll.

As long as samsung won't move the app data to the ROM instead of the internal SD, there will be a lag when opening some of the apps.

Menus flow swiftly, though.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tachikoma_kun:
Coming from a HTC Touch HD the lag is nonexistent in my view, what stutters people seem to be complaining about are pretty much nonevents to me.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trinikartel:
mine had a lag (received today)...until i updated the firmware to JG3. BIG difference now
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pika007:
^

Now this is new to me, is JG3 compatible with UK devices?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] al74:
It may be meaninless to you, but I would like to have a sense, before purchasing the phone, if this is a widespread issue or just a matter involving few noisy owners. If this is a widespread issue and I need to rely on Samsung's not so impressing update reputation, I may wait a little bit.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ConceptVBS:
You have to remember, people who come into forums are the one with problems.

Nobody goes to the doctors office and say, "Look I'm healthy and I have no problems." and just walk out. Only those with problems or concerns walk into a doctors office, no?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] al74:
Not these forums. People come to XDA not only with problems but to learn more about their phone and share experiences, especially those early adopters who buy the phone right away.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheMaverick:
I sometimes have a bit of lag, but nothing that makes me think, "why did I buy this phone", for me the Galaxy S is everything I wanted from a Android phone, it's powerful, screen is beautiful and it runs all my apps very smoothly.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seifer1975:
The lags happened very rarely and most times the phone is snappy. Such things happened to all phones, even my wife's iphone. Still much better than winmo where most things lagged big time.

Though after I switched to using autokiller with aggressive setting, I dun get the lags anymore. My free memory also stay above 100mb all the time without me having to kill any apps manually

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicoloco:
2 solutions :

We don't have the same phone or we don't know what a lag is

When I try to delete a mail it takes between 10s to 30s. If it is not a lag what is it??

On the iphone I can't tel you how fast it is as it is less than 1 seconde

And I have flashed my phone to the new rom ...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tachikoma_kun:
But the thing with your example is, is it really deleting the email in 1 second or is it just displaying the email is gone and just spending 9 seconds in the background actually deleting it?

It's nothing to make it appear that the email has actually gone while it actually does the work in it's own time.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slugster:
I was using it for over a week, then flashed JG3. Lags seems pretty much gone with this firmware.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tameracingdriver:
I got quite horrendous lag at times on the original firmware (JF3).

Now I am on JG1 with the MoDaCo R2 ROM and Autokiller (set to aggressive originally, now trying on optimum) and I don't seem to get much lag at all, if any. It is like a different phone.

Unfortunately I did have to do a factory reset last night but that was other problems - I do hope that's not a regular occurrence though.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicoloco:
when I say it's a lag i mean that during 10 to 30 sec the phone is blocked with the popup box where you hit the button delete.

I must confess I don't reallycare if the mail is really gone or not in 1s ... what I know is that I have to wait 20sec to be able to open a new mail.

If the iphone is smart enough to display the mail as deleted and let me work on another one while it is really deleting the mail on the background ... it might mean that it has 2 years of advance compared to my phone as it is now. I prefer to believe that's not the case
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SoreGums:
last night I couldn't get the phone to accept my unlock pattern. had to turn it off completely and then turn it on again...

by "not accept" i mean the screen wouldn't light up red or green when i was swiping my finger over it and the screen would turn on and off.

I'm doing a factory reset now.

I also can't use the kies program - the mtp application flicks on and off.

hoping the factory reset will solve my problems...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] al74:
I understand that you may have issues but this has nothing to do with a lag, which is what this poll and thread all about.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tachikoma_kun:
I just tested mine now, I have the stock JF3(?) ROM that came with the phone, I deleted an email from my Hotmail, and replied to a different email in 2 seconds, no lag in email at all.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fslateef:
I noticed lag sometimes on my JF3 but only when using Yahoo Mail application (from Yahoo Inc.), it just stuck in black screen at either email-loading or going back for some seconds (and many times pop-up came-up to Force Close the application _but_ after some seconds application came back).

This is the only lag I am facing related to emails. Other lag I some time notice in Dolphin HD browser when opening it first time OR switching to new link. Default browser is very fast as compare to this.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] techeretic:
use JFF for zero lag

I have used three firmware's so far

JF3 which was stock and gave me lots of lags

JG1 which gave me the most lags

JG3 which was very smooth at the beginning

so now i'm sticking to JFF which has been the best firmware so far, i got over 55 apps on my Galaxy and everything runs super smooth, I haven't rooted the phone as yet (i know it can be done in like 5 seconds :-P) and i also dont use the taskiller though i have it installed.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrfil13:
Ive only had my phone a week, dont have many apps installed but so far i haven't had any lag issues.

Not sure if it will stay like that once i start installing more, but so far its all good.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miker71:
I'm original JF3 (UK) ROM, and whilst lag isn't horrendous, it is perceptible (my previous phone was Nexus One/Froyo, before that iPhone 3G).

Generally speaking once an app is running in the foreground there's no big problems I've seen. I'm using gmail and never delete email, though I do use the archive button a lot - perhaps a little slow but nothing to gnash my teeth about. [edit - actually I just archived an email and it was instant - what I am remembering though is there can be bad lag on pulling down the Notification Bar]

I use Launcher Pro and not the TouchWiz launcher, more for looks/function and to get away from the iPhoney presentation.

I would really like to see some vanilla Froyo on this phone though, not sure that's going to happen any time soon though.

I'll probably do a MoDaCo flashing session sooner rather than later, I'd like to strip out some/all of the Samsung apps I don't use which are just taking up space.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emelie:
i'm also sometimes experiencing lags and thus voted "yes" on this poll.

but i wouldn't go so far as to say those lags make me regret my buying decision.

i've got ~100 apps installed atm because i'm testing/giving feedback to developers/finding best of breed apps/etc.

once i'm below a certain threshold of installed apps (at least according to my perception when handling the device) everything's alright.

it's the fastest device i've ever owned and i'm sure within the next months the bug(s) responsible for those lags (blackout/whiteout anybody?) is/are going to be fixed.

maybe together with the froyo image in august, let's wait for reports from korea.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FLAC Vest:
I don't ever get any real lag while using the phone. However about a week ago I had about 5 pages full of apps and I would have to wait a couple of seconds for the apps to load.

I am using adw themes now and I don't have that problem anymore.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beards:
Lags are an absolute pain for me but I'm aware of them and will wait until Froyo before committing myself to further investigation.

Presently, it doesn't matter what program I launch I get horrendous lags often in access of 30 seconds. The Market is one of the worst where after launching you sit and wait and wait and wait...

Another infuriating wait is when you use something like Folder Organizer or More Icons Widget which when you try to allocate an application it has to load your apps list and this can be painfully slow.

I have SystemPanel to kill off memory easters but even launching this program you sit there waiting and waiting until it either loads or reports Sorry Force Close.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borchgrevink:
Absolutely horrendous lag both with jf3 and now jm1. Really regret buying this piece of crap. I now have the top Norwegian Samsung guys (not customer service) looking into it and they have promised me an answer. If Froyo doesn't fix it the phone goes straight back and I'll wait for a Desire HD.

Will post the feedback from Samsung here when I get it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MauroCapolino:
Galaxy s in Belgium with jm2. Is there an update. Kies says no!

Mine has lag especially on email, market, calendar ops like new or delete event...If froyo 2.2 does not fix it think will go back to iPhone .small screen but it works!

What is not clear to me is why in Belgium kies says that there are no updates from jm2 even if I see people in UK on jm5.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bec07:
I do not know. I read about the issue before getting the device and the lag fix was one of the first installed apps.

I simply do not like the way samsung organized the partitions and if somebody wouldn't have made an app for that I would have used some terminal emulator to do it myself.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] xl DIGITAL lx:
Hello, i just wanna know some things about the samsung galaxy s. amd please please answer, because i really want to buy it but im also thinking of buying the nexus one.

1). Hows the vibration? Can you feel it good or do you have to have it on your hand in order to feel it.

2). Can you have the same lockscreen as on the nexus one?

3). Which would you rather get the NEXUS ONE or the SAMSUNG GALAXY S? I really like the nexus one because its fast and everything with Froyo 2.2 and it has an LED but i aslo like the galaxy s because of the 4 inch screen and the 720p video capture.

THANKS IN ADVANCE:D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TheMaverick:
I think the vibration is fine but that could be me, I'd go for the Galaxy S in my opinion but the Nexus One is a good phone too, I'm just looking forward to 2.2 on my Galaxy, hopefully soon fingers crossed.

About the lockscreen, i'm not sure you can change it but I'm sure someone will know :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] caelestis2:
Galaxy s is faster. Why move backwards?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Will.1:
Get the SGS, i don't think you'll be deceived.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lianglqufo:
Nexus one do have the faster update.

But SGS have the better hardware. I think the hardware is more important since SGS will update to 2.2 anyway.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] carlo0810:
Id go with the nexus one, although on paper ths SGS has better hardware, the UI lags and touchwiz is really boring, brings no innovation whatsoever, and with the nx1 you're guaranteed updates from google, unlike samsung which will probably move on in a couple of months when they have a new flagship phone
[Galaxy S I9000 General] maverickzero:
Id go with the galaxy S. If you don't like the touchwiz, you can always use launcher pro. And since SGS has a better hardware, it will be a monster when it gets Froyo! Can't wait :)

PS: If you mean the "connect the dots" lock screen, yes. If you mean the slide to unlock, no(as far as I know).

Hello guys,

There's this problem that I've been having since I dunno when. But before, I remember when I have a long ring tone as a text messages notification, the moment I get a new message the tone will stop when I press any key/button on the phone.

Now I'm using Miri's & Dinik's last 17.6 rom, and the messages tone keeps playing even after I open the message itself! it keeps going on and on untill it finishes!

I know it's not repeating the tone or anything, and this happens because the tone is long. but shouldn't the tone stop playing the moment I press any botton on the phone? or at least when I open the message!?

I'm sure there's a fix for that in the registry. any help, please?

sorry the smartphone was too smart for you. jk!!!

Yeah, I think a lot of people are getting them cheap (we got 2 from wirefly for 70.00 a piece, then a 3rd from wal-mart for 50.00), then selling them and probably screwing over t-mobile in the process (will never pay their 200.00 etf). Probably already on another carrier and trying to make money. Since the phones are gsm, there is no esn to blacklist like sprint and verizon.

on a side note, that is why I was hesitant to add insurance on them (130.00 deductible), but decided it was the most hassle free way if something happens to one if the phones (considering I did give one to my 9 year old).
