[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cooki3s:
Other things to keep in mind when determining the chip are BT and wifi. The 2075, for example, provides bt 2.1, which rules out its presence on the SGS, unless samsung decided to install multiple bluetooth chips. So, the chip we are looking for provides either bt, version 3.0 and wifi N and GPS, or one or 2 of those 3, which makes the 4751 way more likely indeed. I also don't see a reason to change the internals of the phone.

Gps is a Qualcomm RTR6285 like desire, nexus, some blackberry.

Audio codec is the same (wolfson)

Configuration files show tha GPS chip is bcm4751 in european galaxy s (not GPS BT FM BCM20751 or BCM2075) in captive there are photos also.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heygrl:
it REALLY seems like a driver issue. I can get a lock within seconds in MS based mode like all other Android phones with 6 meter accuracy tracking in my car but the performance diminishes after that and the phone requires a reboot for another fix -- IF GPS doesnt cause a lock up trying to get a lock.

Anyone else notice the same behavior in MS based mode?

as i have said in the gps issue thread my settings are as they were from the factory, and at least for now my gps works, in test mode it sees 9-11 satalites, and locks 5-7 of then in about 9 secs, it even suprised me today when i was stood on my staires surrounded by brick walls it managed to get a fix.

this was however not the case with the first one i had, no matter what i tried i could not get a reasonable fix, so it seems to me like some phones are better then others, even thought they are the same phones, this is why i suggested it could be a faulty batch but that is not the case, so i have no idea why this one works and the other never.

if you want the settings: gps is set to oo

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miki4242:
Things are getting even more weird...

I was browsing around in the jupiter.xml file shipped in the JP2 firmware and found what I suspect must be a a typo:

arp-supl-reaiding-time-sec = "1200"

Shouldn't that be: arp-supl-reading-time-sec = "1200" ?

With all that mucking about with wads of configuration files and a bazillion places where (conflicting) settings can be made, this doesn't exactly make me feel better about the reliability of AGPS on this device.

edit: nah, probably not a typo (read as 're-aiding', duh) but an unfortunate name choice anyway. At least it appears consistent with what the app is expecting.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beowulf_pt:
Given the current status of things I just assume that the "GPS" on the SGS feature list is the real typo. It shouldn't be there. Because it doesn't have one. Not a functional one at least.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miki4242:
Damn, doing the obvious and attempting to validate jupiter.xml against its XSD, supposedly stored on www.glpals.com, I find that the <expletive censored> (sorry about that) server doesn't even exist!

I give up...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heygrl:
JP2 is an alpha firmware is it not?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miki4242:
Sure, but some users report better GPS performance with it. Better than the version before it. And that was better than the one before that.

(Just imagine how these fixes just keep on improving GPS performance, fixing the typo will improve it even more, then fixing that other bug will improve it some more, then there's this... If this continues, when Froyo final is released, we will have sub-millimetre accuracy! ;) )
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heygrl:
Because I haven't flashed JPX yet (no audio is a deal breaker for me at the moment), are these later firmware revisions defaulting to MS-Based mode like it should?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewluecke:
Before we go there, has anyone actually PROVEN the current ones don't (checked to see if the options change a system-wide config). Because it is entirely possible that the test-app is nothing more than a simple test-app
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heygrl:
When I change from MS-Based to Standalone the time to get a fix increases 10 fold. So something must be happening here. But then again you never can know. Rebooting might be the true fix with all "fixes".
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hexianjun10:
i failed when use PB31IMG, showing main version is older....

how to solve the proble....help me....

H-BOOT:0.77

RADIO:1.00.03.04.06
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] askwhy:
You should be able to fix this. See the so-called 'Downgrade HBOOT' threads (like this one: http://androidforums.com/all-things-root-incredible/123816-how-revert-back-earlier-version-hboot.html ).

What is not often discussed/clarified is that the 'hboot downgrade' method would be more accurately described as a 'main version downgrade' method. The downgrade of hboot is really a side-effect of that method, as the real 'fix' contained in that method is in regards to the main version error being bypassed to allow the flashing of older system software.

Just to clarify a bit, the way the so-called 'hboot downgrade' method works is by flashing an img to a non-protected part of the system after having hex edited the software version (read: main version) down to something that the RUU (or PB31IMG) will be willing to flash over.

The *original* thread regarding this method is here if you read German and note it is *not* called an hboot downgrade, it is labeled as a 'rebrand' method: http://www.android-hilfe.de/root-hacking-modding-fuer-htc-desire/30011-how-rebrand-o2-desire-fertig.html and then made its way here under the label 'possible hboot downgrade': http://android.modaco.com/content/htc-desire-desire-modaco-com/310873/possible-hboot-downgrade/

...and now everyone calls it the hboot downgrade method, even though that somewhat misses the point that what was actually accomplished is a bypass of the 'Main Version' error.

Good luck, and sorry for the rant....
[Vibrant General] xplanowestx:
Samsung listed on their twitter that they should be sending out Froyo towards the end of September, Not too bad, max a 2 months after the phone comes out for a decent update... go go Samsung.

http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/samsung-confirms-galaxy-s-will-get-froyo-in-september
[Vibrant General] Dougefresh91:
Cool. Now I hope they stay on top of other updates in the future. And fix the GPS issue, obviously.
[Vibrant General] stepinmyworld:
hopefully with all that time, they will have a good packaged update with minimal issues!
[Vibrant General] xplanowestx:
I personally never had an issue with the GPS, it's very quick and extremely accurate. Have you tried the fix for it?
[Vibrant General] K_esco:
^^x2 never had an issue either
[Vibrant General] daggerga:
Whoa there cowboy...

You do realize that tweet "confirmation" was from Samsung UK and just for Galaxy S on UK networks?

Until Samsung US confirms specifically for Vibrant, I wouldn't hold your breath through September.
[Vibrant General] xplanowestx:
Yes I do, however when they say "All Networks" I think i'm only hoping it would include US :D
[Vibrant General] kolyan:
2 months is a long time to wait......
[Vibrant General] xplanowestx:
Not considering that it just released, I would consider that a fairly quick update imho.
[Vibrant General] tpreludesh:
considering the evo4g has been out for over a month and a half, its just getting it in august, granted yes its the first week of august but its gonna take a full month and a half to roll it out. its gonna be screaming fast on our vibrants as soon as we get it though. be patient, its gonna be awesome
[Vibrant General] speoples20:
Really? Two months is pretty quick considering the phone just launched here.
[Vibrant General] gunks:
2.2's been out for a couple months now right? I think they should have shipped out with 2.2! :mad:
[Vibrant General] hurrpancakes:
Froyo haas been out for a coupe months on the Nexus already, its obnoxious that ask these vendors delay os updates for no real reason.
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
Does any of this matter though? The only deadline I care about is when cm6 is ported over and works flawlessly.
[Vibrant General] cparekh:
+1 We'll get FroYo faster with a CM6 port, and that will work better anyways.
[Vibrant General] rembonjaski:
There are a lot of reasons why these things get delayed. True, Google released 2.2 a few months ago and Nexus users already have it, but you have to realize that the N1 is a reference device and was meant to be used to show off what Android can do. Of course it will get updates first, because it's what Google uses to build off of.

Once Google releases the code, there are two more layers before going to the consumers - the phone manufacturer, and the mobile provider. Samsung has to deal with each of the mobile providers to make sure that their version has what they want included and that it's all working properly. Corporate bureaucracy is not a quick and smooth path to travel down - they probably have four hour meetings to discuss what color the worthless "MobiTV" icon should be.

I work in research for consumer goods so trust me when I say that manufacturers don't cater to consumers like us on these forums. While they certainly take us into consideration, they want to maximize reach and, thus, have to work with the lowest common denominator - John Q. Public. Why do you think the iPhone is so popular? It's pretty and it's easy to use.

Would you prefer Samsung blast out updates that don't work properly and spend all day on these forums looking for "fixes" for your issues, or that they get it (mostly) right the first time?

Samsung and T-mobile don't want to risk pissing off one-million people so that one hundred people get their Froyo early.
[Vibrant General] temperbad:
+2 cm smashes regular froyo with all them goodies.. one would be 360 rotation so we can flip the phone upside down and surf the web when were in a poor signal area.... keep the antenna at the top....
[Vibrant General] Maverick777:
There are real reasons why HTC, Moto, and Samsung don't have updates immediately. The Nexus One runs a naked version of Froyo. As in, no extra customizations. As it should be for a reference device.

Love it or hate it, HTC, Moto, and Samsung used customized version of Android. HTC Sense, Moto Blur, and Touchwiz. These require extra testing. If you look at the test build for the Galaxy S that's available, Touchwiz hasn't just been ported to 2.2. Samsung has made some real and significant' improvements which require fine tuning.

I've noticed the following from screenshots and impressions:

1. A rotation lock button is now part of the Touchwiz notification bar. A HUGE plus IMO.

2. New select/copy/paste menu in the browser. Another big plus

3. Tweaked video player UI which from all accounts is a nice improvement.

4. Backlight adjustment by sliding your finger on the notification bar has been disabled/removed. A good move considering the amount of complaints I've seen about accidental adjustments when not using the auto backlight feature

5. Reworked settings menu for easier access.

6. I haven't seen it, but hopefully a voice-to-text button on the next version of SWYPE

All these enhancements are all proprietary to Samsung an require additional testing.

I'd rather they release a stable, fast build than to rush the release and face the kinds of bugs people are already complaining about. If you have no patience, feel free to swap your device for a Nexus One, HTC, or Motorola. I for one and excited they've kept their promise and is releasing the update in a respectable time frame. Not to mention no phone can replace the Super AMOLED goodness on this phone.

Also don't forget that HTC has much more experience with building and releasing custom interfaces. From what I've seen, Motoblur doesn't seem as refined or comprehensive as the enhancements from Touchwiz. Samsung is new to the Android game and has done as respectable job learning from their mistakes with the Behold II.

Just my 2 cents.
[Vibrant General] tpreludesh:
I completely agree with you, yes CM6 will be fantastic, but i believe that a Smart Phone such as our vibrant should be able to get everything out of it without being rooted, and i truly believe that 2.2 and all of Samsung's enhancements will allow this to happen. As long as T-Mobile doesnt choose to take out key features such as hotspot tethering, everything will be fantastinc. and thats my 2 cents.
[Vibrant General] kolyan:
well, it launched in USA recently, but in EU its been out for a while.....

Droid X was launched after Vibrant and has 2.2 scheduled to get before 15th...

2 months is acceptable, but i wish Sammy was as fast as Motorola
[Vibrant General] DKYang:
Both phones were launched on the same day. Don't know where you got the info that Droid X was out after the Vibrant.

Like others say, Samsung is working with more carriers and revisions of the phone compared to Motorola. Motorola only released the Droid X in America. No where else and all they have to deal with is Verizon. Plus, I bet the Droid 2 is going to have similar specs and drivers as the Droid X which makes it easier on the engineers at Motorola to get Froyo out quickly for the Droid X.

Samsung has to deal with more stuff compared to Motorola, so it makes much more sense that the Droid X would get Froyo first.

Samsung is dealing with Korea, Europe, America, and the International gsm version; while Motorola is only dealing with America.
[Vibrant General] kolyan:
makes sense.....
[Vibrant General] kolyan:
ps. people in tmo forums say that end of September is for ALL carriers in Europe and there is no date for USA yet.....
[Vibrant General] speoples20:
Yeah and look how great Motorola's software is.:rolleyes: Doesn't matter how fast you get an update out if your software sucks and MotoBlur is by far the worst software out of any of the Android builds.
[Vibrant General] iunlock:
Same here. I've never had a problem. It works and it's quick.
[Vibrant General] AndroidZ28:
Are they really removing the brightness slide? I prefer it to auto. I leave it down, swipe before games/movies, then down when I'm done :(
[Vibrant General] barmanham:
.

I went to tmobile store today to look at the phone just ordered it anyways the guy said 2.2 is coming out in next 2 weeks dont know how much weight that holds tho
[Vibrant General] talltexan:
oh the things people will say for commission.
[Vibrant General] bchalk:
September at earliest.
[Vibrant General] Anderdroid:
LOL? Motorola releasing an Update on time? What a joke
[Vibrant General] jonathan75:
If you unlock your phone and put in a AT&T sim in will you still be able to get the updates? Does it come through the network or downloaded from their website? This goes for the GPS fix we hope is coming and the new OS.

Thanks
[Vibrant General] jonathan75:
Bump, nudge and a little bump.
[Vibrant General] Berserk87:
bell will be releasing the vibrant later this month, and rogers will be releasing the captivate next month.

hoping rogers captivate ships with froyo :)
[Vibrant General] Janis:
Drat. I like the brightness slider, too. I kinda figure auto brightness uses up spme resources constantly using the light sensor, and frankly, it's a bit slow (well, I notice it becuase the phone is so durn fast). I'l definitely miss it.
[Vibrant General] kolyan:
hahaha....we will be lucky to see the update at the end of September.
[Vibrant General] bladerunner0427:
Why would they remove the brightness slider? How the hell are we supposed to adjust brightness? I know about the sensor, but it reacts slowly and I prefer to be able to use both auto and manual adjustments.
[Vibrant General] StefanB86:
If you go to Menu/Settings/Sound and display/Brightness and uncheck Automatic brightness adjustments you would be able to control it sliding your finger (left or right) in the taskbar.

EDIT: I misunderstood, i apologize. I thought you were talking about Eclair. :D
[Vibrant General] CappyQ:
Guys, no one said an overall Brightness setting is being removed--that would be insane. What's being removed (and hopefully left as an option) is dragging one's finger along the notifications bar to alter the brightness. I personally love this feature, but it does get accidentally triggered fairly frequently.
[Vibrant General] theking52:
does anyone have an answer for those of us who are using this phone unlocked and another network? do the updates only come through t-mobile, i.e., those that are receiving service from them or... through the PC?

Ive used blackberrys before and updates for those can be received through their desktop app through the PC
[Vibrant General] CappyQ:
Android updates can be downloaded via HTTP and flashed through recovery as a ZIP file, or downloaded and installed over the air (OTA).
[Vibrant General] golfjam:
Or use KIES suit.
[Vibrant General] Morbo66:
The phone comes with a power widget that has bluetooth/wifi/gps on/off hotkeys. It also has a hotkey for adjusting brightness. It has 3 steps. Lowest. Medium. Full bright.
[Desire General] talhamid:
Hello All

I am a newbie to Android. I have an Orange UK HTC Desire. I rooted it and installed ClockworkMod recovery, plus LollyRom (0.2 version) for Froyo and App2SD.

Now I want to revert it back to original ROM in light of upcoming update for European Desires. Please tell me:

1) Is there a way to unroot my phone back to a GENERIC ROM rather than the Orange version?

2) What is the easiest method for that? And do I need a goldcard (I rooted using Unrevoked so did not need one). Please note that my phone was not locked as such, just displayed Orange splash screen and some (horrible) Orange apps

3) If I unroot it and install a generic ROM, will it be detected as a generic Euro unrooted Desire (so that it can be updated)?

Urgent help would be appreciated
[Desire General] kuailan:
I believe if the rumors and gossip is true that Euro will get updated by this weekend then you need to unroot to HTC_europe version in the official ROM that is available in the sticky post.

I am also pretty sure when HTC rolled the update, it will also be made available everywhere too as long as it is official ROM version. So yes, you will get the update.
[Desire General] talhamid:
Thanks very much.

I just need to know: will I need a goldcard or something to unroot? I did not require it at the time of rooting.

Secondly there seem to be two versions of the generic Euro ROM - which to choose?
[Desire General] iinga:
Seeing as you're on orange, unless your phone is unlocked, you'll need the 1.15. The 1.21 one updates the radio as well and causes a sim lock on orange phones.

Yes you will need a gold card to flash a generic rom. Imo, the generic rom is much better than the orange one with all the demo games and stuff. If you struggle making a goldcard, google goldcardtool - makes the job easy. Just a few mouse clicks and its done. Simple
[Desire General] j5m:
I'm on mac os x, can someone link me to/ extract the rom.zip for

RUU_Bravo_HTC_Europe_1.15.405.3_Radio_32.30.00.28U _4.05.00.11_release_121865.exe

??

ps. what is the difference between

RUU_Bravo_HTC_Europe_1.15.405.1_Radio_32.30.00.28U _4.05.00.11_release_121684.exe

RUU_Bravo_HTC_Europe_1.15.405.3_Radio_32.30.00.28U _4.05.00.11_release_121865.exe
[Desire General] talhamid:
iinga: Many thanks for the reply. Please bear with me the repetitive questions though:

1) You say I am on Orange. I WAS when I bought the phone, but I am using a different SIM now (in another country) and its working perfectly without unlocking etc. After rooting and installing LollyRom all traces of Orange have vanished from my phone. Does it still mean I have to be picky with generic ROMs?

2) I did not need a gold card to root it and install another Froyo ROM. Is it confirmed that I will need a gold card to unroot it back?
[Desire General] iinga:
1) What network are you now on? I know that orange are very picky with radio updates. Despite rooting/debranding, updating the radio would mean that they simlock their phone. However, as you mentioned you are on another network, I believe that you may have an unlocked phone?

Also, as the froyo update requires a new radio, it may well be worth your while to unlock regardless...I originally unlocked mine (despite being on orange network) to update to froyo roms with the necessary radio update.

2) Yes, you will still need a goldcard to install a generic rom.
[Desire General] reebop:
I had Orange UK ROM. I've unlocked it with a code. Then I made a goldcard and installed

RUU_Bravo_HTC_Europe_1.15.405.3_Radio_32.30.00.28U _4.05.00.11_release_121865.exe

Everything works fine but one thing. Red color is rather orange than red and is too saturated ie. faces of my friends are very reddish. I hope Froyo resolve this.
[Desire General] mikecoffee:
Just a quick point the Rom coming out this weekend is for unbranded and unlocked phones only not Orange or vodaphone or t mobile just unbranded and unlocked HTC desire.
[Desire General] reebop:
I think that after unlocking and actualizing to official ROM my HTC is the same as brand new unlocked Desire. I don't suppose that OTA checks IMEI numbers and knows which phone was unlocked phone from begining.
[Desire General] talhamid:
Iinga: actually I am in a third world country having imported orange branded desire. I did update the radio before updating to a Froyo Rom . The phone is working perfectly with a local 2.5 g sim from day one and continued to work perfectly after rooting and updating . So far as I am concerned my phone IS unlocked despite initial orange branding. So I think transition to a generic HTC euro Rom will be possible . Am I correct ?

Secondly I didn't need a gold card for rooting and installing a custom Rom and it worked so it shows my phone is not network locked. So why do i need it to revert to a generic Rom ? Sorry for repetition again and thanks for the help
[Desire General] iinga:
Ok, i guess you are unlocked.

From my understanding, if your phone was originally flashed with an orange rom, you will need a goldcard. You only don't need a goldcard if your phone was originally unbranded.

Rooting is a different process
[Desire General] talhamid:
Ok I guess now everything is clear . Just to confirm: using the goldcard I will be able to turn my currently rooted phone into a generic euro phone right ? Now the only question is which ruu to use of the given two.
[Desire General] djoni1980:
since your phone is unlocked, use 1.21, it's the last official update for unbranded phones:

http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bra...00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed.exe
[Desire General] talhamid:
So this will revert me to generic euro? What about those ruus labeled euro or something like that ?
[Desire General] iinga:
RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4. 06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed.exe from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=695667

Use that one as you're unlocked. And yes it will revert you to official stock rom.
