I was on JF3. From that to JG1... chose re-partition

JG1 to JM2... chose re-partition [512 pit file]

No problems at all!

PS: Is it me or did this firmware add a Smart_Life video? And it has subtitles?! Does that mean soft-subs will work on this firmware?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] penfold:
thanks ....differing opinions again.

does anyone actually know the benefits of repartitioning or not, and if it is supposed to be checked or not?

If there is no clear benefit then i would be inclined to just leave it alone.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Ancient_One:
Bit the bullet and flashed JG5 Root > JM2 no repartition using 512 PIT.

I had a small scare as the phone went black and I panicked a little. Disconnected from USB and got a disconnected message on the screen of the SGS. Restarted the computer. Removed the SDcard and SIM from the SGS. Reconnected everything and started the process again without fault.

Yes, one is able to root with this firmware.

Hi, i heard alot of sd fixed kind of stuff. it solve the lag i heard.

May i knw what about the internal memory? All stuff will save to sd card? Isn't it defeat the purpose that it's one of the spec that attract us buying the phone?

Hopefully this is a software issue and not a hardware issue. Time will tell.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] AndyCr15:
Odin keeps getting about 10-15% of the way and then the screen goes all one colour, red, grey, white...

Any ideas what's going on?

Also, what does the CSC file actually do? I never seem to have success if I try and flash with that file selected.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jodue:
just tested gps with JM2 and it solved the issues for me! working like a charm now :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] austinchimp:
Has anyone had the problem of the GPS just refusing to work after this flash?

I mean GPS test reports seeing no satellites, Google Maps gives an error about it being unavailable at this time. Have tried rebooting 3 times, and done factory reset.

Not good news.

My flash got stuck at the testing prompt on Odin, so I had to restart the phone and get back into download mode. However it did then appear to flash fine.

Could it have messed something up?

Could somebody write down all their default settings in the *#*#1472365#*#* menu?

Maybe I touched something I shouldn't have while trying to fix it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Oooch:
Have you tried turning the GPS off and on again? And does the little GPS icon come on when you're testing it?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] austinchimp:
Yup, tried turning gps off and on, even reverted back to jg5 firmware, which used to give me very good and quick locks. I had been very impressed with the gps on this phone, after hearing many bad things.

I ist a very cloudy day today, which might have some impact, but my nexis one still gets a signal fine and positions me with a 10 meter accuracy.

I at my wits end, i feel my changing firmware must have broken it somehow, but how?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] LadFromWales85:
Yep, no GPS for me either.

Flashed from JG1 to JM2 using the 512 pit, repartition ticked.

Only used Titanium backup to restore settings for programs I can't be bothered configuring over and over, like Facebook, Twitter etc.

Installed Beautiful Widgets and the GPS icon just flashes forever. GPS Status sees no satellites at all! :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Ancient_One:
Same here. No GPS at all. I forgot I had my Network location on which was why I was getting a lock based on the towers not based on GPS.

Anyone else confirm.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] shaunm1989:
Flashed JM2 with 512 PIT did not select Repartition

GPS works fantastic right down to 10m accurate inside my house

Speed is alot better as well

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Ancient_One:
Flashed jg5 to jm2 512pit no partition no gps.

Might flash again.

Ok, I have a bug to report. Contacts app crashes.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open any contact which *DOES NOT* have an email address.

2. Go to menu -> mark as default.

3. Click save. Contacts app will crash, but any changes are saved though.

This bug was also present with JG5.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] giantdroid:
i concur with the above bug. above steps crashed on my SGS too.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] danielherrero:
when I flashed M2 I hadnt gps singal too. Then I disabled it in settings and enabled again and reboot and it was fixed
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] quangmach:
Don't know if im lucky or not since first firmware JF1 i never got any problems at all,just abit lag when open too many apps,just flashed to JM2 and it works perfectly,run much smoother,really fast GPS fixed,only i think 10 secs?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Ancient_One:
Flashed JM2 512PIT again and GPS is back up and running.

I would suggest for those having this problem to do a backup of your data.

Try a Factory Reset on the device and see if GPS comes back up.

If this fails then do another flash of JM2.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] austinchimp:
Weirdly, my GPS came back. I flashed back from JM2 to JG5, but had Fancy Widget installed with the option to use GPS to determine location.

I had been installing it each time after re-flashing, and experiencing the GPS issues.

In a flash of inspiration, I removed the Fancy widget from my start page, and the GPS came back!

I've since put Fancy widget back on, and it seems to be working now.

I can't guarantee that was the fix, but suddenly for the first time in 3 days I can find satellites and lock onto a location.

On a side note, I might stick with JG5 for now. It seems to be snappier for me than JM2 was. To be honest, I haven't seen anything definitive to say JM2 has many if any advantages over JG5, and in my experience, it seemed a little sluggish.

Also, the slide to unlock in JM2 seems much more difficult to do one handed for some reason. You have to move the glass further, which is difficult with my little thumbs.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] khunjj:
Battery Status has no color change!

After flash JM2, I notice that the battery icon on the upper status bar keeps only one blue color. It's not same as JG5 or other J.. that the color is changed to amber and red color when the battery power is getting low at some certain level. Anyone experiences same this !! :confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] khunjj:
Agreed with you. Or Samsung intend to do that ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] unknownnerd:
after flashing to jm2 i couldnt use the market app . each time i try to download an app it says app is unable to be downloaded . any suggestions ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Darkstriker:
Reboot into recovery and clear cache.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] unknownnerd:
did it but still doesnt works. also when i boot into recovery , that a error abt being unable to access the KOR csc or sth like that .
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] asci:
Starting from JF1, I upgraded to JM2 using 512 pit file. Everything is fine. I found battery life and gps improved. Battery is performing a lot better, I started my morning with 100% and after an hour of standby mode, it still was at 100%! I also tested GPS, and I got fix in about 10 sec.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Onraad:
What program do you use to test GPS?

I just flashed to JM2 and so far I have one problem.. I used to have Beautiful Home Widget, SwitchPro Widget, and Android Agenda Widget (4x2) on my Homescreen.. Since I flashed to JM2, this doesn't fit anymore. Now I have Beautiful Home Widget, open space about half the height of a Widget, and Android Agenda Widget at the bottom.. I'm also using LauncherPro.

Anybody else who has this problem or knows how to solve it?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] AndyCr15:
Yeah, they've totally broken it :( You have to start at the bottom and swipe right to the top!

Any way to replace this with a better lock system?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] asci:
Simply Maps
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] JuWa:
Yeah, I guess it`s the new feature of this test rom. It has also change the levels, when the battery status changes. Now it changes about every 20%. Like 80%, 60%, 40%, etc.

Also the silent icon has change a bit. Now there isn't that red line crossing the speaker, now it's white.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Oooch:
Just change the lock screen to the inbuilt security lock screen and put it as a sideways L or something, much easier to unlock this way.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] speedweed:
Hear hear, hope they fix this.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] BackfireNL:
Wow just flashed JM2 yesterday! it's pretty quick! 902 with quadrant! i'm not a fan of the new task killer!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] brisandroid:
with the people saying the unlock is harder, just swipe your finger right or left (follow the arrows), you don't need to go from bottom to top

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] appelflap:
I Agree... a reason for me to go back to JG5.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dagrim1:
Really? Just slide from left to right (or vice versa). It's really not that much effort...

Anyway, this is the first firmware where the music player doesn't close on me when browsing by artist name. Before it gave some 'Not enough space in music database' error. So for me a reason to stay on this one ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] appelflap:
But you have to make a longer swipe-movement. On =<JG5 the movement can be shorter. Just tested it... the difference isn't big, but it is noticable.

Always nice to have a reason to stay on a particular firmware version. ;) It can save you a lot of subjective doubts... I'm very motivated to stay on JG5. I have my coverflow back when I rotate the screen (in JM1+ one has to choose coverflow from the menu). Second, the lockscreen is better for me. Third, I had too many app-chrashes on JM1+ , (this could be caused by the app installed, don't know for sure. I have to find out)

BTW I don't have a space error when browsing through the artists. Do you have a lot of artists?

I have edited my mp3 files and set all artists to album artists a long time ago, because I don't like how mp3 software is handling artists in library functions. ( I only want to see album artists, not song artists). Another good thing is that the number of artists never exceed the number of albums I have.

12h idle time = 40% ? ... that's 60% in 12h :-S
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dagrim1:
Ah I see, fair enough :)

About the music, not that much. I first had something like 2GB and it already caused issues. Have had it since the beginning, both on internal sd as on external sd card. Used another music player in the meanwhile without issues but now for the first time the default player works fine.

guys will i be able to update officially through kies after flashing Beta ROM(unrooted)? I just want to be sure to get froyo officially.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] nicoloco:
Hi guys,

I just flashed the rom ( it 's not yet wrwitten PASSED but it should be ok)

Yet when I was looking at my phone during the flash I saw the code in yeloow and then I saw in red something like access denied /system/?????

Any idea of what it could be ?

EDIT : now it's PASS but I hope it won't make any problem ... maybe it comes from the fact that I was rooted and I played with chmood to overwrite some sysmte file like gps.conf ???
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] nicoloco:
I guess nobody now that the alpha-beta froyo is out but still

FIrst of all quadrant with this firmware is almost the same than with JFF ( 895 instead of 884)

But everything looks quicker.

The mail on the stock app are for the moment quickly open , read and deleted but there is only 1 day of mail ... I will download more to coifirm

The stock calendar loks also better in regards of exchange. It has sync some of my appointment and also severla category like important, family, friends ... but there are a lot of appoinment missing ( maybe not the correct class ... I had the problem with the sync through gmail calendar)

I installed all my apps ( around 50) very quickly

So for the moment it's quite good

I did a track yesterday of 7km run with mytrack ... i'll do the same tomorrow on the same path to see itf the GPS is better or not
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] bevno148:
Hey, i download M2. And flashed from stock JM3 (2.1) and lag fix, everything went fine, but in the about phone part it still says 2.1update 1? is that right or has something gone wrong? i have the battery app thing (new to 2.2 i think) come up 1st screen.

Thanks.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Chrilleee:
Just flashed JM2, rooted and added mimocan's fix and it works great!

Except one thing... All the built in sounds seems to have disappeared :S

Put my clock on four different alarms this morning but none did wake me up and when I tested now there's just no sound!

Also there's no sound for using buttons and stuff, sms I don't know... But startup sound's still there.

Anyone experienced the same problem? Or know how I can fix this?

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] vijaykanth:

FYI use the 512 .pit file for JM2. No need for root. Rooting is done after a fw flash.

Major Battery Issues

I flashed this firmware on two days ago and the last night I took my phone off the charger (fully charged) before I went to bed and set an alarm for the morning. I woke up late to find my phone had run out of battery (so the alarm didn't go off). I just attributed this a rouge application before I went to bed.

However earlier tonight I took the phone off the charger (fully charged) before heading out to a party. On the way home from the party I noticed the phone had run out of battery. This time I had definitely checked to make sure no applications were running.

So since updating I'm only getting less than 7 hours idle time when I used to get 72 hours. Anyone else experience this?

I'm going to try monitor the battery usage this time and see what is going on.

Also extremely likely this is unrelated but I've noticed that occasionally there is a slight flickering of my screen. It's generally not very noticeable but occasionally it gets my attention. Anyone else experience this or have any idea whether it's a software, driver or hardware issue?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lafaya:
I'm not sure what's happening but my phone's 3G connection is very bad. My girlfriend has stock firmware and hers fees generally faster, so I'm not sure what's going on. I'm thinking of going back to JF3 but at the same time, I might wait for Froyo

On a side note, I uninstalled Dolphin HD and the phone feels a lot faster with little lag on the stock browser.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] speedweed:
Try the battery fix. As stated earlier in this loooong thread :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] msedhom:
Has anyone else noticed in JM2, you can only share files through gmail or bluetooth? I can't use the standard email application.

Also when I try to attach a file using my standard email application which uses Hotmail, it only allows me to attach certain file types, such as pictures and mp3's. Excludes all apk files, doc/x etc.

Bit strange. I remember with the standard optus firmware it worked fine.

Does anyone have a fix?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mirceal:
Hi,

I have already some weeks with M2.

What I don't understand os why the same hardware and the same OS version, this case M2 can generate so many differences in the performances an user ecperiences.

For instance I don't have any problem with the GPS....

But even I rooted and I applied the correction related to moving of RAM on SD card, I still have laggs. Less than F5 but still not normal.

I'll keep this ROM till I have better opinions on XDA.

Anyway I have a big big big problem: synchronizing my Exchange account with the default Exchange Client. I tried a lot of ROMs and it was not working at all! I had to install Moxier but I am unhappy with it: the contact and calendar synchronization are not directtly with the one's from OS. First with the one's fron Moxier and manualy with the phone.

I'am thinking how is it on Froyo?

Thanks

Can someone post the howto steps to install JM2?

Thanks in advance for your support guys.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] AyeGee:
1. Download Odin3 , the pit and the firmware.

2. Turn off the phone and take out microsd and simcard. Also make sure that Kies is not running.

3. Push and hold volume down, the main key in the middle and power. You will now enter the download screen.

4. Load the fw into Odin3. PIT = s1_odin_20100512.pit, PDA = PDA or CODE, CSC = CSC and PHONE = MODEM or what the last file is called...

5. Choose re-partition.

6. Start. Dont disconnect the device before it says finished or ok or something like that in ODIN3.

7. Done.

Quick guide of memory ;P

I've lost access to Pure Calendar Widget since JM2, also can't see it on market...(I paid for the app). Any way to get it back? (I assume the official Froyo ROM will enable this...)

I lost my backups...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] penfold:
in my case i chose re-partition after the first flash failed without repartition, it may have something to do with which formware you are upgrading from.

i also suggest doing a factory reset before flashing.

btw i was wrong about the lag being gone. after using the phone for a while and running several apps, it's as sluggish as ever.

.....my kingdom for an option to just turn touchwiz off so we can have a useable phone until they figure out how to write some decent code ...
