[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] cyberazi:
the 1.7 i tries got issues with gps and wifi.. totally screwed my wifi connection and GPS works for like 5 mins before it hangs... o i had to reflash my FW to get rid of these issues since uninstalling the 1.7 still gave me those issue.. was working fine before the 1.7

im using DXJG4 btw rooted with 1 click root app
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Hampy:
To people having problems of any kind, including some apps not showing or working correctly..i think flashing with a new fresh firmware, then rooting and last apply this fix with default settings...is the best way to ensure all works fine...

Then just restore contacts with gmail..and reinstall all apps manually With appbrain, because they are all syncked its just 30 minutes reinstalling connecting with wifi to the internet and pressing install 100 times like i did..i got no problems at all with my JM2 rooted and fixed fresh..just the gps isnt as good a it could be, theres minor probs as we all know.

It takes more time to do all manually and from a fresh flashing but in the end it pays off..

THX AGAIN Chainfire I LOVE U

Obviously it hasnt been tested on vibrant. When will people understand that captive/vibrant are different phones and you cant just blindly use stuff from international galaxy s on them?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] scouzer:
To follow up to my own post, my SGS is bricked and ruined. I have no download mode so I can't recover the phone. ****.

anyone else timing out checking the system update app?

[Droid X General] money226:
Yeah it keeps saying update service not available at this time.
[Droid X General] Enndr:
Same but if the the 2.2 update for the Droid 1 is in fact going out today that could be a reason. If thats the case their servers are probably really busy.
[Droid X General] bouchigo:
Mine simply says "Your device is up to date!" "No update is necessary at this time."

Seems to be working ok for me.
[Droid X General] kgbrown247:
same as above
[Droid X General] jboris:
My update times out if I set social apps to not sync over data.

In the settings "Data Manager", "Data Delivery", "Social Applications", and uncheck "Sync over wifi only".

Also some task killers make updates stop working, so you might also try restarting your phone
[Droid X General] Tralik:
I'm getting device Is up to date. Was a delay earlier but no longer. Gotta be from the droid update. Of course I have no clue what I'm talking about. ;)
[Droid X General] el.diablos.droid_x:
I'm getting a busy server message when trying to add another gmail account
[Droid X General] antirice:
tryed it again this morning and seems to be back to normal.
[Droid X General] dr154:
if ur trying to see a system update on ur dx and it times out, thats because the d2 is getting priority here because of a firmware update that is being pushed upon headset activation.
[Streak 5 Android Development] goqic:
Hi guys.

I just bought my Streak yesterday and I was wondering if it was possible to have the home screens in a loop/rotation rather than having to stop at he first and last screen, like the N900?

Looking forward to your answers. Cheers.
[Streak 5 Android Development] spences10:
Yeah, theres a app called home++ in the market you can do that with that i think. Otherwise do a market search for 'launcher' and you will get load of options for home replacements
[Streak 5 Android Development] goqic:
Thanks for your fast reply. I'll check that out.
[Streak 5 Android Development] spences10:
You can get ADW Launcher for donut as well, which is my launcher of choice.

6 rows by 6 columns means home is great in both landscape and portrate.

First impression:

After first boot MEDIA SCANNING ISNT SLOW.
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
it didnt run 5 times either, lol, I think the modem is updated too.
[Captivate Android Development] tbae2:
does it still require the speed fixes?
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
It's scoring a 909 in quadrant fully stock... which is certainly an improvement over the old ROM but still not blowing the doors off. So far it feels pretty reponsive, but the laggy crap normally crops up over-time and not instantly.
[Captivate Android Development] Bjd223:
Anyone have a change log for this? I can't find it anywhere online.
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
I don't want to get anyone too excited, but I got a GPS lock within 10 seconds outdoors (Not inside since I work in a concrete box). Who knows if it can KEEP a lock though.
[Captivate Android Development] tbae2:
I never had a problem getting a lock under 30 seconds. The problem was keeping that lock and accuracy. :-P
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
Ah, they got rid of usb tethering in the usb settings

file system still lags in quadrant tests (905 score)
[Captivate Android Development] max_warheads:
So is Odin required for this, or can ROMmgr/CWM be used?
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
odin is required, find my post on the first page
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Only works under odin
[Captivate Android Development] sl8125:
How is the 3g on this baby? Original firmware is okay but needs improvement. I wonder if the modem file has been upgraded. We will see and find out soon.
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
Modem is the same. Only the Upload is crippled right now.
[Captivate Android Development] max_warheads:
So, random thought of the thread.. UCJF6.. UCJH2 ... Upload Capped J*# ?

Tried any of the others? Heck, tried TMobile US? Maybe THAT will work?

Glad that the AU fix did work for someone else though - makes me think I'm not crazy! :D

It is, but I am using the "Unleash the Beast" update.zip which includes it.

This is the track I recorded this morning. It is now completely useable as navigation device. Not 100% perfect, still a few bumps when I make turns and lost signal one time. But overall much better track than I had before.

I have been trying to keep the original post updated with changes as people mention them in this thread.

- Aaron
[Captivate Android Development] jasonyump:
Ive been running this rom and actually every problem i had with the stock rom is gone. And im using the overclock kernel with this. And NO applag fix applied.

-im able to use dolphin browser hd without any lag whatsoever.

-my battery life has improved

-my displays battery use went down from a constant 80% to 8%.

-dropping a shortcut or widget onto the desktop doesnt cause a 3 second pause anymore.

-and all my apps are all around faster.
[Captivate Android Development] cropythy:
why can I get a lock in GPs test in under 30 seconds no matter what but it can take Google maps up to 2 minutes for the same level of lock?
[Captivate Android Development] alkoholic:
I can't help but comment on the AWFUL commute you must have every day - today being worse than normal with the thunderstorms. You realize there are nice affordable places to live in Rockville that would save you 10 hours a week on the road.
[Captivate Android Development] foxbat121:
Looks like dial-up modem in Kies mode no longer works.
[Captivate Android Development] Laaf2005:
Checked feedr with this rom and it runs much faster than it did before. Quadr

ant score may not have jumped but I am getting no lag. Gps works for me. This is a definite improvement over original stock. I don't think I am going to even bother using any lag fixes to get better quadrant scores.
[Captivate Android Development] appelflap:
Can someone with a rooted device upload libgps.so from the directory /system/lib ... Like to share your excitement with a european Galaxy S, that is: if an update of the lib is enough :)

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] ranova:
When you have time can you check any of the following apps for lag?

Dolphin HD browser - scrolling with volume button, opening/closing/switching tabs

Touchdown Email - opening emails, general speed of the app

Facebook - how long does it take to load profile picture images when scrolling down the news feed

Twitter - how long does it take to manually refresh the latest tweets

K-9 - similar to touchdown
[Captivate Android Development] A.VOID:
Dial-up modem? Is that different than the USB tether? I can tether in Kies via USB.
[Captivate Android Development] jasonyump:
Dolphin hd-no lag anymore. I can use volume buttons to scroll perfectly fine. And tabbed browsing works without any freezes or slowdowns.

Facebook-the pictures load faster then they did and the overall speed of the app is much faster. Its about the same as the htc aria loads.

Twitter-refreshes tweets almost instantly.

And im not using any applag fix. My quadrant scores arent higher then normal(1050) but ill take real world performance over quadrant scores any day.
[Captivate Android Development] ranova:
Thanks! Did you have a speed fix applied before?

I wonder what samsung did to fix the lag, did they change the filesystem?
[Captivate Android Development] ronpinoy253:
Lots of mixed review with this firmware update.

I for one find it to be a good trade off between what I use and what I really need. The GPS WORKS BETTER for me with JH2 firmware update. Locks come faster in/out of car and stay locked better in/out of car and while still/moving. Getting same Quadrant scores ~relatively. Placebo effect of faster phone is in place :) . Will go back to my old seemingly faster setup when benchmarked in Quadrant getting 2300 points with the ext2 lag fix, using this new firmware of course.

I ClockworkModded my old setup with previous firmware (root/apps) into this new firmware with no problems.

Can anyone benchmark the upload and download speeds with this new firmware compared to the old before you switch over? Thanks.

Great update that should hold us over until someone cooks all the good features/fixes from all firmware releases into one nice package...this phone will be a beast then.
[Captivate Android Development] skinien:
I flashed to the new firmware and noticed the following:

Pros:

-The UI seemed faster

Cons:

-gmail had problems syncing

-facebook app could not be downloaded (although the app is pretty worthless)

-GPS was worse for me
[Captivate Android Development] derek4484:
Thats not true. My co-worker has an un-modded droid incredible (he hasnt even rooted his yet, not that into customizing) and when using ATK, he regularly has 270-290MB free memory. On the capitvate after doing a kill all, I only get 140-150MB free.
[Captivate Android Development] skinien:
According to the Android website, Froyo comes with a 2.6.32 kernel upgrade which allows "HIGHMEM support > 256 MB". Maybe the incredible maps its memory differently than the Captivate, but I would assume that phone manufacturers wouldn't go messing with the default OS memory mappings.

http://developer.android.com/sdk/android-2.2-highlights.html
[Captivate Android Development] derek4484:
Mine does that now, and I'm on the original firmware. If I walk outside I can get a lock within 3-5 seconds, 10 seconds max, and its accurate too, down to 30 feet in GPS Test as long as I was standing still. But as soon as I go for a walk, it loses lock and puts me all over the place on google maps, sometimes up to half a block away moving through buildings and yards and fields. That's always been my problem is getting a lock while moving and maintaining a lock.
[Captivate Android Development] derek4484:
When he gets back from lunch I'll look at this phone status and write down what kernel version he's at. I know he's on 2.1 though, as I said he wont even root the phone because its a company phone.

Edit: he's on 2.6.29 kernel. He regularly gets 280MB free after first turning it on and doing an ATK. After a week or so of it running when he does an ATK it gets about 250MB free. Still much, MUCH, more than whats on our Captivates.
[Captivate Android Development] derek4484:
Will somebody that has the new JH2 firmware and hasnt moddified any GPS settings, go into their *#*#1472365#*#* menu and write down all their settings.

My question would be, if it would be possible to extract the new drivers/files from JH2 so we can flash them in to JF6. Because I dont want to go to JH2 and lose USB tethering, also I have over 80 apps installed, and some purchased, I dont want to have to go through the whole having to download all 80 again and reinstall, but I do want new GPS drivers.
[Captivate Android Development] tke743:
GPS settings went back to original stock settings with new firmware.
[Captivate Android Development] appelflap:
or just copy secgps.conf file from /data/gps . The settings are all in there.
[Captivate Android Development] appelflap:
so they used a different fix then all the fixes published all over internet :)
[Captivate Android Development] cropythy:
after a few tests I have to say the GPS is now good enough to use for navigation since walking used to cause me to lose lock and now I can maintain a lock on up to 11 satellites while driving at 60 MPH. But it seems Google Navigator is unusable still which leads me to believe there is still a problem with the GPS or Google services are having trouble interpreting the GPS data which seems to be supported also since in maps the best lock I can get takes longer by 20-40 seconds and is at least 5 meters less accurate.
[Captivate Android Development] appelflap:
maintain a lock on 11 satellites? Really?! or do you mean that you have 11 sats in view.

btw, Google navigator is still in beta.
[Captivate Android Development] cropythy:
No I don't mean 11 in view I mean locked onto 11 out of 11 in view, so there is most assuredly a fix in this firmware since you can connect to over 8 satellites which was impossible before.
[Captivate Android Development] dewt:
In gps status I got 10/10 locked and they stayed that way while moving, but it doesn't stay locked long in any google apps.
[Captivate Android Development] foxbat121:
The fixes published all over the internet are really not fixes as someone else speculated. What they accomplished is to reset the driver so that it will work for a while.

The lbstest menu settings are the same as JF6 stock settings. What they fixed is the real bug inside the broadcom GPS driver that you can't fix by change a few settins. You need the new GPS driver.
[Captivate Android Development] appelflap:
So good to hear that's not a hardware problem. So, I guess it's time for the next bug... I need some negative reinforcement :D

Just a little question, maybe some of you guys like to test this. Attached is a little GPS app I wrote to test some things. It keeps track of the min. snr of a locked sat and the maximum amount of sats that constitute a lock. (guess that's not needed anymore :) ). Furthermore, it tracks if the GPS engine has some orbit info of the satellites. If so one will see the abbreviations "eph" and/or "alm" behind the sat nr., the snr value and the fix sign (*)

I'm really curious. In the old situation on the Galaxy S there was no ephemeris or almanac data known by the gps engine.
[Captivate Android Development] lost2030:
Any improvements for the battery or signal??? Does the screen consume less power than before??

Sent from my Samsung Captivate!
[Captivate Android Development] appelflap:
All in all, really great news!
[Captivate Android Development] ewingr:
I recently installed Clockwork on mine, and did one backup. I plan another before doing the upgrade. But that is all I have done with it up to now.

CAn you elaborate just a bit on what you mean by that? CAn I apply this update, and then wiht Clockwork stuff restore all my apps and environment?

I was planning on doing an App restore with Titanium.
[Captivate Android Development] ranova:
The signal is fine. I can still use data over 3g in an area my iPhone 4 or 3GS could not. Bars mean jack.

Battery is fine, while not as good as the iPhone 4, it is definitely on par to the 3GS. Lasted 45 hours without charging and moderate usage.
[Captivate Android Development] cropythy:
Starting to feel like I am spamming this thread and sorry for that but something I just found out, for some reason places is much better at getting a lock than maps, about twice as fast in fact. I am really not much for coding or such but does this make sense to anyone why that would be? Or just why Google services having a hard time with the GPS on this phone despite it seeming much much better?
[Captivate Android Development] dewt:
On another note, with GPS status I was able to get a lock on 11 sats in less than 10 seconds. I will try that app posted above on my way home from class today.
[Captivate Android Development] fiendiish:
An exchange via Twitter with @samsungservice:

@samsungservice what about the new i897UCJH2 firmware? I've heard that this fixes gps. Its from samsungfirmwares. Its only been out 1 daynow

@brett_isbell :) I'm glad, Brett~here to help. Agent gave inaccurate info. We're very focused on fixing. We hope to have news soon. ^Leah
[Captivate Android Development] nkd:
Alright I flashed and everything went smooth, but my gps is totally dead. I went outside in my backyard which is pretty big, and got bearly three sattelites and once 5 for 30 mins it did not lock on to anything. I feel like I flashed a different firmware then people in this thread did, lol. I registered just to post this.
[Captivate Android Development] nkd:
I am going to reflash the firmware as type this.
[Captivate Android Development] gk527:
I need some help here. I've flashed my Captivate with this new ROM. Before I did this I was on the ROM out of the box, and I was able to root it.

Now, I've tried two different methods of rooting, and I'm guessing neither is working.

I've downloaded TitaniumBackup, got the warning, so I clicked PROBLEMS. It downloaded BusyBox, and it still says I'm not rooted.

Has anyone else experienced this?
[Captivate Android Development] foxbat121:
Rooting as posted in sticky works fine for me.
[Captivate Android Development] phlunkie:
I had to install busybox from the market. Then go into it and make sure it's installed.
[Captivate Android Development] evancg:
I experienced the same thing. The GPS was as useless under the new firmware as it was the old firmware. The only thing that made it usable was changing the GPS settings to supl.google.com\7276 with secure socket off. I will say, this same setting under the stock firmware didn't have great GPS reliability but it does under the new firmware.
[Captivate Android Development] nkd:
Under the old one I was getting improvements with the same settings u mentioned above but I had sky hook on too, I would get signal within 5-10 seconds. inside the house may 15-20 seconds, but accuracy was so so. I went in to the gps settings and obviously it has defaulted to the original factory settings, but I don't know if people in the thread are using stock settings or modified settings.
[Captivate Android Development] gk527:
Did that too. It's saying "Status: Waiting..." "Your phone is not rooted! THis application will not work!"

I did the update.zip and the one click method. However neither works.
[Captivate Android Development] foxbat121:
Sounds like you didn't follow the instructions to root your phone. If you're rooted, you will see a Superuser Permission app in the apps list.

IIRC, the recovery screen seems to be different in the new firmware. You select reinstall package and it automatically install the update.zip. In the JF6 firmware, you need to select your package file to install.
[Captivate Android Development] foxbat121:
You probably still need to apply those settings change:

* use 'MS Based' instead of the default 'Standalone'

* Select either custom google supl or auto supl settings.

The difference this time is that the underline GPS driver actual works and locks on to satellites unlike the old firmware.
[Captivate Android Development] gk527:
I downloaded ROM Manager, rebooted into Recovery Mode, then applied the update.zip from the reinstall package. I'm rooted now.

Is ROM Manager required for rooting? Or is that something required now since I was rooted before and had the "green screen" in recover mode before?
[Captivate Android Development] gk527:
Sorry, got duplicated somehow. This post can be deleted.
[Captivate Android Development] dewt:
Nope, no eph or alm.
[Captivate Android Development] foxbat121:
Nope. I just copied update.zip to SD card and rebooted into recovery mode to apply. No ROM manager required.
[Captivate Android Development] lost2030:
How in the world do you get 45 hours out of this battery??? I barely reach 11 hours. The most it has lasted has been 14 hours. Today it has been unplugged for 6 hours and 25 minutes and I'm down to 31%. I've pretty much just heard music all this time (not streaming) with the screen off and nothing else. Shouldn't be so low.

Sent from my Samsung Captivate!!!
[Captivate Android Development] ftank:
How do i apply these to my phone? Could someone walk me through?
[Captivate Android Development] evancg:
The supl.google settings started failing again, so I switched back to the default (spirenet, secure socket on, etc). Still no good. Rebooted, using standard settings. It's working again with default settings. Seems to be it's going to work for a day or two just like it did before, and when it starts acting up, rebooting will fix it for another couple\few days.

Once again, just like people who flashed to JM5 and had improved response (I did for a couple of days), after a short time you have to reboot again to keep it working well.

Also, doesn't MS Based just mean it's using cell location to assist with the GPS lock? If I'm standing outside in my drive way with a clear view of the sky why do I need aGPS for a lock? I've had other phones that could get a GPS location in areas without reliable cell reception.
