Yeah, i got an update, and everytime i tried to install it just kept saying. "Need to manual install" I use it occasionally, but i just said screw it, still working fine to me.. i'll check my ver.

Edit: I have ver. 1.2. I'll try to update again. I'm using what's stated in my sig.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Susasama:
Ok, got a fix. Seems to be a problem with darkstones froyo. I use Astro, but whatever file explorer you use, go to the root of the SD card and go to system/app and find facebook.apk or something like that, and delete it, reboot. and viola install from market ver. 1.3.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] shutdown:
i got an auto update of FB. I can use it fine but can't send any "messages" only update status which is odd.

but then again i can't connect over 3G to many things yet I can get twitter and FB status updates automatically. Incoming traffic is fine, outgoing is screwed

any ideas?

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Adevem:
BEFORE you judge me lol : I'm a new android user, and I've searched and read through the forum and FAQs alike.

Sorry if this is already answered. I've tried the search and read through the FAQs already but there's so much information my head will just explode from it.

Also I'm a fresh android user (just switched over from the iPhone, yay?). I was a very enthusiastic jailbreaker for the iPhone when I was still using that device. Hence my enthusiasm for all things "hackable" for the Android device as well.

All my blabbering aside, I'm just wondering this.

When the Froyo update hits the i9000, your root and everything with it(custom firmwares and stuff?) will be "broken" and be restore as the "stock" Froyo firmware/build right?

Am I even making sense to anyone?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chluk2425:
for new firmware, you have to flash it, and so, everything will loss, storage in your internal and external SD will remain but all you app, mod, messages, call log, contact, etc will be lost

like you've partition your home PC with app data saved in C drive and all other documents in D drive, when you reinstall your OS, you wipe off your C and install it again and everything in D should remain (if you do it the right way :p)

correct me if i am wrong :o
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenkiller:
We won't know for sure, but the way HTC handles Froyo updates, there is no data loss.

But to reply OP, yes, root will most probably be lost. But ability to flash custom firmware should still be available. Afterall, in the first place we don't even need root to flash custom firmwares in the first place, at least on the SGS.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickporwal:
So this does mean that we will be able to get the froyo update through kies even though we are running rooted custom ROM?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Adevem:
alright thanks for the speedy reply and clarification. i have a lot of new terms i'll need to learn for the android now. lol.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chluk2425:
sorry, OP, are you talking about an official Samsung firmware update using kies or the one using odin3?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenkiller:
Most probably not. You might have to return to stock firmware to get any updates from Kies.

But what's the point? The Froyo firmware will be available in the Odin form certainly.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Adevem:
i think the stock official firmware update. i'm also afraid that flashing a new OS for my current 2.1 will screw up any local settings. i need to do more research about this whole flashing, rooting thing...

shall spare you guys my questions. lol.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Adevem:
ironic from my previous post, i'll just like to ask one simple question.

since i'm a totally new android user, i should just wait for the OFFICIAL Froyo for the SGSi9000, update it and wait for some modified version of the OS, and i'll flash it over for a speedier, more accessable phone?

(i've read the FAQ a thousand times lol.)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chluk2425:
the official one is somewhat released near September as i remember... so you have to wait till that time to do it.... i know nothing about flashing using Kies since I am a new user to android as well :p

but what i am thinking is: either you flash the current firmware (JP3, JP2, etc) using Odin3 or the official firmware using the Kies, the chance is if you brick your phone, samsung will also not responsible for it, so... unless you take your phone to the customer service, you are still risking :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Adevem:
well you definitely know more than me lol :D thanks for the information folks. imma root my phone, don't think there's any risk ye. wish me luck lol.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snapper.fishes:
I am gonna necro this thread since I am an absolute idiot.

It took me a few days just to understand that root is not the SAME as flashing. Finally got that through my head. Hence I can keep my stock JG4 firmware while having root.

But what happens when Froyo comes along. As someone already said, we are going to lose root if we update via KIES. Then what? Do we just use the One Click Root to root our phone again? (Right now I haven't found a reason to flash to a custom ROM yet.)

I am asking this since I am sick of losing all my data in my phone every time I have to upgrade my firmware, but if I can't root my phone afterwards, titanium backup won't work.

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] ZeeGy:
Hi all,

Got a Touch Pro, that is not happy today. plugged it in to charge it overnight, and thought no more of it.

Woke up this morning and overslept, its alarm didnt go off. not good.

Alarmingly it wont turn on :( unplugged from mains, and plugged in again... the touch pad does its white glowy cycle thing it does to indicate a charge, it loops that 3 times and then stops.

When i power it on it says warning! battery level too low! and then switches off again.

I left it on charge for 30 minutes, and tried again. the same thing happend.

Any idea whats happend? never had any issues before, is it a duff battery? or am i being too impatient in regards to its charging?

Im at work now, and have no mains charger. will it charge via USB ok ?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] ZeeGy:
stumped, been on charge via usb all day, still no life.

If i plug in the cable, sometimes the camera flash blinks for a second, and then tried to post, (and then shows the battery error and shuts down)

it will show the charging animation (on the centre button) 3 times, and then stops.

If i try and post the phone without a battery, it shows the post screen, and then keeps resetting / recycling itself, with no error messages.

Now we have some what of a stable build running on our HTC HD2's. I would say it's great enough for everyday use.

What are the apps that we must need/have?

List them here! I'm new to Android so I don't know the apps like that. I would love to know what you guys have or can't go without.

Thanks!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tgtoys:
Advanced Task Killer -> Task manager, must have.

Any Cut -> Add any shortcut/action to homescreen

Launcher Pro -> Advanced homescreen options and smoother interface (a few of the Andriod build the devs are putting together already have this cooked in)

Sense Analog Clock Widget -> HTC Sense style homescreen clock (if you're not running sense already, obviously)

XDA-Developers -> Complete forum app, must have!!!

Lots more great ones depending on your needs/interests, these are some apps that pretty much everyone should have, IMO.

Enjoy!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Bluey Thunder:
ColorNotes - A colour coded notepad app. Can place individual notes on the home screen.

3 (pronounced "cubed") - nice player, can scroll through music or jump by letter. So far I seem to like it better than the other ones out there.

HistoryEraser - Erases Android Marketplace search history among other things. Great if you don't have a rooted rom or don't feel like mucking about with a file mananger/adb.

Taskpanel - task killer with ignore lists and auto kills when low on memory also has a widget. Not sure how it compares to advanced task killer. I think ATK is more automated/simpler so probably the one to go with.

MailDroid - Email app for hotmail, gmail, yahoo, etc. Couldn't get hotmail added to the default mail app.

Tricorder- Hand-held thing from Star Trek. Displays compass/GPS, microphone sound input, 3g/wifi connectivity data.

Frozen Bubble - fun puzzle-ish game from linux.

I'll second Launcher Pro, although I don't think I've ever been able to install it onto a rom that didn't have it built in (using the eclair desire v5 rom). Theres also Linda file manager (installed by default), not sure how it compares to the ASTRO? one.

EDIT: For a file explorer try Open Mananger instead of Linda. Its open source and free, available from the marketplace. It's pretty good.
