Update, My previous post is a false alarm.

The Exchange Calendar sync works fine, it's my Company Exchange that screw up. (I need Calendar from Exchange, that's 1 of the reason I get smartphone, it's essential+must have feature for me)

I did learn a trick on this, before the Exchange Admin fix the issue, I have a work around to sync my outlook (which is my Exchange client) calendar from my PC to Google Calendar via Google Calendar Sync, and I have my SGS hock up and pick up Google Calendar instead, it works. But not straight forward because I have too many events for last 2 years. I need to delete the old event in Google Calendar to make it work.

i tried install touchdown (for exchange) it works to sync Calendar, Contact, Emails. but of course lack of integration with the Android Calendar.

My experience this noon,

1. Install and configure touchdown - successful

2. touchdown start sync email and contact (auto start once configuration is done)

3. I try to sync calendar, no luck

4. reboot and re-sync calendar, start to see events in my calendar sync to SGS

5. Tried my luck to switch on the defaul exchange program to sync calendar, notice that the Calendar sync works, but it sync until end of Jun (today is 21 July)

Not sure why.

It didnt work

So i tried to flash my SGS last night but it didnt turn out so well.

put all the bits and bobs in (.pit pda phone and modem) and then connected the phone in Download mode, seemed to connect to Odin, ID:COM 0:[COM20], clicked start, it seemed to be working so went to check on dinner and when i came back it didnt seem to be doing much, screen on the phone was blank and odin looked like it was tring to move across factoryfs.rfs, i look in the CODE file and saw that the factoryfs.rfs file was huge so thought id just leave it and wait. but nothing left it for 4-5 hrs then left the comp on all night when i cam back it was in the same spot but said removed and the phone was showing a phone then triangel with a ! inside the computer. so i unpluged it took out the bat and put it back tried turning it on, same thing, turned it off again and put into download mode seems to work but didnt get a chance to play with it at home, at work now and cant do it because it asks for admi privileges to install the drivers, so ill wait till im home again. anyone got ideas of what it might be? should i have connected to port 7?

Hi all,

Need some advise..

i successfully upgrade my firmware from JF3 to JG5 +rooted.

I realise my phone is smooth in animation but also laggy sometimes.

Doesn't fast like other user said..

Most of the time encounter network error while surfing net or market.

Sometime require to retry the connecting few times.

May i know how to fix these or any step during upgrading firmware is wrong?

Is the firmware suitable for asia SGS?? BTW i am from Singapore.

Thank you!!

After some inconsiderate

But with the re-partition option in Odin and the right PIT-file (s1_odin_20100512.pit) I got it back to life! :D

Data Connection Problem

Hi! Ok I ave a strange problem. I flashed to this firmware about a week back and love it. No issues whatsoever.

It's just that sometimes, randomly, my Edge (E) symbol vanishes from the status bar and I can't use my internet. Basically, my gprs is turned off. I have to go to mobile settings and select the already selected APN. Only then does it start working again.

Has anyone else faced this issue? Or does anyone know what I can do?

It's not a major problem, it's just an inconvenience.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Roy Ngan:
any possibility that your SGS detected a WIFI and turn off the EDGE?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] varunrai:
Nope. No wifi network anywhere close by even!

I've been trying to add my APN (I had removed it to try and see if re-adding it helped), every time I try to save it, the settings get discarded.

Too EASY!!

-- FOR EVERYBODY --

USE THIS PIT FILE FOR FLASH THIS ROM, CHECK RE-PARTITION, SELECT THE NEW PIT FILE, WITH PDA, PHONE, CSC AND GO!!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hihihehe:
anyway whats the PIT file does?

i believe the PIT file above is older than the PIT file from samsung firmware website right?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] socket84:
If I remember correctly there's one pit file available which setups a bit bigger dbdata-partitioN and is the one that i've uploaded.

Try it!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] HansBaer2000:
tried, didn't work
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] tommy34:
i accidentally used that old one then probably:cool:

is damn annoying to flash the new firmware again and need to reinstall all the apps...zzzz
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] tommy34:
use mybackup pro/ appbrain or something alike makes life easier

anyone managed to root this firmware so far?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hihihehe:
i know but apps restored from mybackup pro cant get updates from market..

but titanium backup allows right?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] socket84:
Ohhh yesss!!! After 12 apk's installations, sms, emails, calls and web, is everyhing so fast!!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] HansBaer2000:
or use trackdog after reinstalling with mybackup

very nice guys, thanks for the feedbacks :D i just notified Paul about the goodies that G5 has to offer...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hihihehe:
just wondering did u use titanium backup to backup ur apps and restore it back?

if yes,can u get updates from market?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] socket84:
No man, i've used APPMONSTER to backup and restore apks. For me is the best.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] limestar:
I am not totally confident yet but feels like JG5 has fixed the lag issue. Totally customised and all apps installed I think it could be fixed.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hihihehe:
oO

but the apps can get updates and listed at downloads from market?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mac110:
yeah it seems that the lag issue is gone but now i cannot see all apps in the market, if i search for e.g. documents it only finds 60 results instead of 110
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] socket84:
Yes, i can get update from market!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] azazin:
I agree!! I have installed around 20 apks and a few market apps and the lag problems are almost gone! I rarely see the black screen when launching apps now :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] paul_73_uk:
GPS any better?

Has anyone running JG5 who is aware of the GPS issues been able to check if it behaves any better than previous firmwares using something like the "GPS Test" app?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Elinsa:
The GPS havn't been improved.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dakiz71:
anyone else can confirm? I have stock JF5 fw and GPS sucks! This is the first Android phone to have a GPS that's worse than the iPhone 3Gs one!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] cHarOn99:
because you have JF5 then for sure there is a improvement on GPS on all newer Firmwares which has a new Modem package inside!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Ferdimage:
what GPS issues are you guys talking about anyways?

GPS using Google Maps? <-- i think its the app itself that makes the GPS funky :/

Because using Copilot Live 8... all firmwares i have used have no GPS issues..
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hihihehe:
updated to new firmware by using pit file from samsung firmware website

all works great
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sammy555:
co pilot really does hold a good acuate signal !!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] galaxy_s:
It worked using the 512 .PIT file uploaded in this thread. :) This is by far the best and stabled firmware I have used on my Galaxy-S. I tested/installed heaps of applications and no lags! I haven't tried the GPS (GoogleMaps) yet, will report back once I try it out.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] cHarOn99:
on Car Navigation you won't have such issues, this programms also hold the gps on the road, anyway the newer modem files improved it also, but there are still reports from users with issues using it for walking, running, .........
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] paul_73_uk:
PIT File...

Does anyone know which is the best PIT file to use? Some people seem to be using the 512 version posted in this thread and others using the 513 version from the samsung-firmware site.

Is there a utility available that allows us to read the format of these files to determine the meaningful difference between them?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hihihehe:
im using 513 version n it works
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] galaxy_s:
Well to be honest, the .PIT file from samsung-firmwares.com did not work when flashing to G5. However the (512) .PIT file that was uploaded in this thread worked with me first shot. So I would definitely recommend the .PIT file that has been uploaded in this thread. Though you can try both, you got nothing to lose.

I am not sure about that. Maybe someone else can answer that for you.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hihihehe:
just wondering what problem u get when u use 513 pit file?

i worried i will get a problem later on(im using 513 and it still working without any problem so far)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] oxylos:
If you want to track your position (when walking i.e.) then you need the raw correct GPS data.

MyTrack App is using this.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] balander:
Does this firmware supports Greek Language? (Swype etc ) ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] justmevagyok:

Regarding GPS issues, make sure that you turn off WIFI before using GPS. They are not working well together.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Ariozo:
Did get JG5 to work on first try, not a single problem. And feels more "Snappy" then the old JG3 i had befor it..I just use Odin with Re-Part and the older Pit file from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=725194&page=4

not the one from samsung-firmware. And it did work like a charm.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sammy555:
I must admit i dont think the gps on this phone is accuate enough for that.Co pilot does get the junctions exactly right though.Garmin always had me about 20-30 metres behing and that was on i8910hd (proabbly the best phone there is for gps)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hihihehe:
the new firmware quite snapy and better than previous firmwares..

but if i using live wallpaper,noticed that it lag than previous firmware when scrolling
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] balander:
Anyone who installed this firmware can confirm that has greek language ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] azazin:
I just checked for you and based on this:

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080326124741AApAXac

I believe it does have the Greek language, however, don't take my word for it as I don't know the Greek language.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] welshlad:
Yes it has Greek language and Swype support

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Dexter666:
Anyone knows why samsung firmwares recommend to use "old" jg3?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] widjaja74_us:
If only samsung can also integrate the GPS fix to as good or better than HTC Desire's GPS performance, then we got a real winner on our hand.....

Now here is the question to you all: Do you think that by the time the Froyo firmware is issued by samsung, the firmware will offer even faster performance than the just released G5 firmware? And do you think by that time the firmware will also make the GPS perform well?

thanks

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ottovip:
Success G5

You guys are surely happy to hear yet another successfull f/w update :D

Went simply by the book as guided by samsung.firmware.update; chose *513.pit, only PDA, no re-parti.

G5 is faster!!!

GPS issues u guys have, I don't understand. Had HTC Desire before and it amazed me (compared to cheap Garmin, it was better in terms of catching satelites; even at the floor of my car).

Galaxy catches the sats equally fast.

Only thing that stresses me is that MAPS on Galaxy does NOT track u (moves screen as u moves in landscape).

Sorry my bad english :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ottovip:
@fua;

Yes - some folders that it cant access results in red text. It has been like that all 3 times I have updated f/w.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kenkiller:
Don't worry, even Euro firmwares can receive/send chinese text just fine. But you'll need an alternative chinese input keyboard like Google Pinyin in Marketplace.

One question, should i do a re-part when flashing? I have done so with last fw and i keep apps so why should i not do it as many people dont, what is to gain by not doing a re-part? Cheers
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Techno79:
I don't actually own the SGS but the WJG5 update seems really reassuring that it's solved the lag issues. I'm sure it'll get even better with time as things get even more refined and Samsung start working on the FroYo update.

Samsung really seem to be supporting this phone properly which was always a doubt in my mind. The phone has apparently sold over a million handsets to date and Samsung is expecting to sell 10 million by the end of the year so I can't see how Samsung could get away with providing rubbish service.

How long do people think before WJG5 is pre-loaded on new handsets?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Bynar010:
This is my first non htc device in about 6 years, figured there wouldn't be much firmware development for it so I wouldn't be constantly updating it....now here I am inside of a week having just flashed the thing...lol

At any rate flashed just fine on my galaxy on o2 in the uk. Performance does seem better now, just hope the gps is more reliable when im out in the motor tomorrow....
