[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Benjamin Dobell:
Yeah, Samsung claimed they accidentally released it. They also claimed that the source code they released was not actually used to create the boot loaders that were released with the phone, but instead was only used for internal builds and that therefore they don't have to make the source code available.

However, Loke on the R880 is quite different in some areas to the version running on the Galaxy S, i.e. the flashing protocol is totally different. If you want Samsung to release the source code for the Galaxy S boot loaders then I think you're going to need to come up with some irrefutable proof that the boot loader contains GPL code. I don't really want to go into too much detail, I don't want to have Samsung after me, but linux headers are a good place to start.

Then 5 Commands are sent before ODIN received PIT from SM-Z130H...

Ehm... sniffed Commands are incomplete, because stupid me use old portmon.exe... :o

Commands send are 1024 Byte big... I see only "50 %"...

Please, can someone help me... to see the difference between I9300 Commands before PIT is dumped?

And maybe someone can help me to complete the SM-Z130H Commands... :angel:

Thanx in advance.

:o

Oh, stupid me...

For my reason is good old Portmon perfect...

Limition is... but 1024 Bytes are fully catched...

So for SM-Z130H every Command is 1024 Byte long...

500 Bytes received... then again 1024 Byte Command necessary to procceed...

NO CRC nor "End Byte" mandatory...

To receive whole PIT... I need more then 15 Commands to send... short tried with SerialMon and Copy&Paste "Power"...

No idea yet, if this could be optimized to receive with less Commands...

:confused:

I need this for Download Mode... as device allready softbricked... prototype... and I wish to backup prototype PIT before next tests...

[HTC Aria General] sunny342:
I am just going to say it... the htc aria's call quality is horrible. Maybe I feel that way because before the aria i had a nokia phone. However if you go to settings- -call- -hearing aid. If you check th hearing aid option the call qualit is much better and you can hear people even in noisy rooms.

FYI: I recently got a check up and I have perfect hearing.

So my question is does this hearing aid use up battery life? And how do you guys think the call quality is?

Sent from my HTC Aria
[HTC Aria General] ominously:
I do notice that if I lower the volume a little bit I can hear an echo of myself in the mic.. Also, the volume of the music player can be better too..

[HTC Aria General] sluzi26:
Infinitely better from the terrible LG Vu I had prior to my Aria and definitely better than iPhone. I have no complaints.
[HTC Aria General] matt_b:
the in call quality is a lot better than the other phones i've had. the volume may not be as loud, but the quality of the audio is great. i haven't had any echo/weirdness at all. i had tons of that with some of my other phones.

from what i've asked people i call, the quality on their end has improved since getting the aria as well.
[HTC Aria General] booloobunny:
In general, I have always been really happy with call quality on every HTC device I've used. I think it is probably one of their phone's best characteristics.
[HTC Aria General] Exador:
I had really bad echoe problems with my 3GS, I think it may be an AT&T thing. The Aria is a much better telephone imo than the 3GS in every area except speaker volume. The speaker on the Aria just isn't loud enough, but I have better signal and way fewer dropped calls than with the 3GS.
[HTC Aria General] DPLOY:
Tinny sound + Earpiece louder than Speakerphone

When talking on the Aria I get a tinny sound in the ear speaker on the phone...also people claim I am breaking up yet I hear them loud and clear.

Anyone else getting this?
[HTC Aria General] DPLOY:
Ear piece louder than Speaker phone...

Anyone else notice that the ear speaker is louder than the speaker phone?
[HTC Aria General] ryan92084:
No to all three off your questions
[HTC Aria General] mosamjc:
Sounds a little like a troll thread. I've had nothing but clear calls. It may not hold full bars like some of my other devices, but it sounds better than my old nokias that did and gets better battery life to boot. If you're not happy take it back.
[HTC Aria General] FtaWolf:
Everyone say they have poor call quality.. But none of you give any details as to which Rom on Aria you are using..

Quality & Volume are awesome with one latest Rom's..
[HTC Aria General] DamnCampers:
The only time I have noticed poor call quality is when I was using the stock rom. It was more noticeable when on a Bluetooth headset when I had the phone below the waist. I would head crackling on my Bluetooth when it was to thexpoint that if I moved the phone to chest level it would go away.

Since upgrading to cm 006 then to cm 008 I haven't had a problem. In fact I can now leave the phone in the other room while I'm on my Bluetooth without any problems.

Hope this helps.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] THUDUK:
I always used to use this place when I had my windows phones and found it a brilliant source of information.

I have just bought (not arrived yet) a Galaxy S and thought I'd have a look on here and I am amazed at the problems and people moaning about there devices, I read loads of official reviews and they all praise the device highly, in fact almost as high as the big Apple.

I am completely new to Android so most of the terminology is different to the old Windows mobile so I guess I shall get used to this.

But it seems this Galaxy S is plagued with lag and gps issues, this concerns me a lot as I am a heavy gps user, have I made the wrong choice in going for an Android device, would be nice to hear some positives:confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Beowulf_pt:
There are many positives on the SGS. In my opinion (from a short, but intense ownership period) the lag issue isn't as bad as it might sound.

In certain ocasions it does lag and I've ended up waiting 4 or 5 seconds for an app to open or do something.

But those events were rare and might be reduced in the upcoming Froyo ROM.

Not something that will ruin the experience I'd say, since the unit has many positive aspects, including the amazing display.

If you are a heavy GPS user I'm afraid that there are no good news. The current GPS performance is a disaster (and no proper testing was made in any professional review). Personally I consider it not to have GPS as it is so unreliable that it cannot be trusted.

IMHO that is the only critical flaw that the SGS has right now.

Don't panic yet. Perhaps it can be solved with a firmware upgrade (maybe it is not hardware-related). In any case if GPS is really important to you and you can still return your unit, I'd do it (I will do that with mine). Get your money back and watch what happens.

If Samsung/Broadcom fix the GPS issue, then it will be a good terminal worth buying again.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ausfester:
well, i've been along time wm user and apple user. Got the galaxy s a few weeks back, right around the time there was massive stock shortages in australia, however my galaxy s never had any gps issues. I'n my personal opinion samsung have fixed the issue with the GPS in the later firmware revisions.

Lag, well i was running stock firmware without any mods for a few weeks, not too many issues. Yes it was a little laggy at times (typically when opening big apps), but copilot ran fine better than any wm device or apple device using tomtom.

Be sure to only kill apps that your not using, dont kill email and other important things because you'll notice the lag much more.

Just upgraded to jm5 firmware with all the mods and stuff, yes its much faster but running stock is good too. I would never go back to a windows mobile or apple device, even if it was free.

good luck, just my 2c.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] BA_Flash_GOD:
Coming from a windows mobile device there is truly no comparison. I've owned and test many windows mobile devices in the past, and the Galaxy series far superior than anything previously made in my opinion. The small lag/gps issues will be fixed with minor build revisions. (unless GPS was hardware but doubtful) anyways Enjoy the device, peace!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] borchgrevink:
Well my JF3 stock phone lags ALOT. Installed ca 100 apps. Not tried any of the fixes. But the lag is really really bad. Just going into calendar/dialer/contacts can take 5-10 sec. Not acceptable at all
[Galaxy S I9000 General] snapper.fishes:
100 apps

Perhaps that is the source of the problem.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nandihno:
I came from a windows then apple and when i got the apple iPhone wow big difference...but then..unless you jailbreak you cant customized it...so then it became boring...was waiting for the iphone 4..but it looked the same...no real multitasking..plane the same...so moved to the gs and yes i got the jf3 firmware...yes gps issue...tried all the methods found...and some it worked...but then i was able to update via flashing my rom to M2 and gps issue has been solve...the lag is solve..the phine is faster..the android community is more vibrant than the iphone and that's because apple don't like ppl tweaking with their device...

So i can say that galaxy s is ideal if you are a power user..as you can customizer it to your hearts content
[Galaxy S I9000 General] aurelm:
No real issues except the gps one (which is HUGE). The rest is nothing serious.

And the phone can be tweaked in so many ways, used like a pc, download torrents, watch movies directly without reconverting, copying music and photos without sync (I hate apple so much because of this). Also went from iphone 3g and my choice was between iphone 4 and galaxy s. Iphone 4 has a load of fun games, but the device is from Big Brother, no flexibility at all.

And as a artist/photographer the huge super Amoled was just wow.

Again, the gps issue spoils it all. I do hope Samsung fixes it because it is a pity to sell it and get the Iphone :((
[Galaxy S I9000 General] RyanZA:
Most people with this phone don't really have any problems. We have a lot of people on this board with what appear to be faulty GPS units (can't get a lock at all) who are very stubborn and don't seem to want to return their faulty devices, so they spam away on here. If you read through the complaint threads, you will see that it is mostly the same 10-15 people posting over and over how terrible their GPS is, and how horribly their phone lags.

That aside, if you buy a device that has an old (JF series) firmware, then you will have to flash it to a newer one if occasional lagging bothers you. Another alternative is to wait for an official firmware release before buying your phone, but that doesn't seem to be an option since you've already ordered it. ;)

Either way, don't take the complaining on this forum as any sort of proof of widespread issues without first trying the device yourself.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nafem:
Totally agree with the above. It is not as bad as some make out. I use my GPS all the time without any issues at all. Lags are minimal with later firmware. I hope you enjoy your GS.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Roy Ngan:
Frankly, I do not have the issue with GPS, I use Google Maps Navigator a lot.

Lag issue has been addressed by JG1 or newer test firmware.

PS: I had at least 2 WinMo phones in the past, and I have to say that I love android phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Roy Ngan:
do you need all 100 apps to do work? that's the real problem.

I believe none of the WinMo (6.5) phone can takes 100 apps in 1 single phone and still working.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] borchgrevink:
I do not need all, but they are not running all at the same time. So it should work just fine.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tameracingdriver:
When I got mine it was between the iphone 4 and the SGS, I had an iphone 3G before, and did have a good play with the iphone 4, but ultimately it felt the same, and I felt I would get bored with it.

So I got the SGS.

At first I regretted it - it was slow and unstable, and with terrible battery life.

I've since updated to JM2, rooted, done the EXT4 hack and installed Autokiller and use optimum settings on that. I installed launcher pro instead of touch wiz, and a few nice little widgets and a few apps and games.

Now, I'd almost go so far as to say I now prefer it to the iphone 4. Yes, perhaps you shouldn't have to do all this, but I bought the phone, and I was damned if I'm going to waste my money selling and buying an iphone 4, I was determined to make it work, and now it does work, I put all the tweaking to the back of my mind - now I don't try and keep up with all the latest firmwares, instead, I am just enjoying the phone and the Android OS. The only time I will now change is when a good, official Froyo firmware is released.

The positives for me are, sheer speed (when all of the above patches / hacks are performed), the customisation options that are simply not there for the iphone - you can change virtually every aspect of your phone to your tastes - try that on an iphone. You can literally make your phone unique from any other. The screen size - yes the iphone is sharper, but you have to virtually hold your eyeball to the screen to notice - for me, the benefits of having a larger, more colourful screen are immediately apparent. Much better media support, no more converting most videos to play on it.

The downsides - well the GPS is a reported downside - Google Navigator simply didnt work for me when I tried it, but that was with stock firmware, I've not tried it since I performed my above fixes (and tweaked a number of GPS settings too). The camera is pretty rubbish IMO, imagine a 3GS camera with a few more pixels and a few more options and you're not a million miles away (but on the flipside you get 720 video recording)... no flash either. The battery life still isn't amazing - it's still very poor compared to an iphone, but ultimately, its no worse than any other android phone.

Personally, I think the SGS is up there with anything out at the moment. I wouldn't go back to the iphone at the moment - before I'd reconsider this, I'd be wanted a 4+ inch display for starters, and a lot more customisation options...

Heck... I even rediscovered the art of bluetooth file transfers again the other day!!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Dopedangel:
do you use samsung default widgets try disabling them. Many people have found their phone stopped lagging so much once they disable the samsungs default widgets
[Galaxy S I9000 General] BA_Flash_GOD:
Yeah see that's what a lot new users say. The whole point of linux though is customizing on a kernel level. Literally everything can be customized, and changed, tweaked, and even ported to other devices haha..

I don't get how there is even a comparison between Apple products and the new lines of Linux based phones already out and will be releasing in just a mere 3 months. What about Microsoft as well, check out metro UI, they're something to think about. Apple is done, they give their users nothing, like I said before, you have 1 billion people with an iphone and EVERY single one is the same hah.. where's the diversity?!

If you want to ditch the lag,why don't you just get launcher pro and call it a day, worked like a charm on my old captivate with the STOCK rom hah.. so yeah
[Galaxy S I9000 General] borchgrevink:
Exactly what are they all called?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nricci:
Let's clarify one thing.

I tested 7 (seven!!!) of these phone.

They were ALL broken, with a miserable GPS.

It's not spam. It's the reality. You're probably have no idea what you're talking about.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] RyanZA:
I can open google maps navigation, put in a destination, and drive whole following the maps/prompt and end up at my destination, with the prompts being completely accurate.

I can post/geotag my location with any program and it gets it instantly within 50m or so (This would be AGPS I think).

What exactly is the problem? What are you trying to do with your GPS?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TravUK:
The BCM4751 should be able to resolve and maintain a position down to nearly 2m. What you think is working, is actually the broken.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] RyanZA:
The 50m is from before the GPS has even started up - As far as location goes, I am personally more interested in it getting the job done, rather than telling me if I have moved the device from my left hand to my right hand. ;)

I understand that some people want to use the device this way, but they should probably have got a device with an amazing new technology GPS chip then. The SGS's GPS chip is mainly designed to save battery and be very small. I personally much prefer my GPS to be using as little power and weight as possible as long as it can get the job done - which it can - Navigation works perfectly on my device.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Ziostilon:
also coming from a winmo device

There is just no match. i got the galaxy S for its hardware, less for its software since Android is so customizable.

The problems will be fixed soon. Just think about it this way you're not going to change the hardware but you can mod the software.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TravUK:
The BCM4751 is the state of the art, its the successor to the chip used in dedicated GPS systems. Its not working properly I promise you, right now its broken, you just have a good tolerance level :) It will get better when they put the right driver config out.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
the fact is, people are just picky

[Galaxy S I9000 General] dakine:
I like my sgs, it does an ok job with car nav, but anyone who says that the gps works properly has their head in the sand. People shouldnt make any conclusions until they have run mytracks and have gone for a drive.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] RyanZA:
But it's so small! :o ;)

I'm probably not making myself clear here.

My conclusion has nothing to do with mytracks or the gps giving accuracy down to the nanometer. My conclusion is that I need a GPS for 2 things:

1) Navigation.

2) Geotagging/location aware applications.

The current (apparently) broken GPS does both of these things perfectly, so my conclusion is that the GPS is fine! I can't really see any practical uses for a GPS in a phone outside of these 2 things, but I guess stuff like mytracks has some kind of novel value. ;)

Does anybody know if the drivers for the GPS are open sourced anywhere?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] boomerbubba:
Much testing on these threads shows that one property of the underlying problem is that in a rapidly moving vehicle, that movement tends to mask the GPS errors by some kind of interpolation or smoothing algorithm. Then, dedicated street-oriented navigation apps mask it further, and are in some ways the most apparently working, because they tend to snap to the nearest street. So they usually seem to work to naive end-users -- until the tipping point, when the app inxplicably snaps the cursor to the street a block or more away!

Other geotagging/location aware apps may be much more sensitive, especially those designed to be used by pedestrians or users who are just stationary. The GPS performance in such situations is quite appalling.

Describing a strawman of "I don't need nanometer accuracy" is just fooling yourself. No one is expecting nanometer accuracy or miraculous GPS performance. But what we can reasonably expect from this expensive, new high-end device is the state of the art in Android cellphone GPS performance, and the Galaxy S is far from that. My now-ancient G1, the very first Android phone ever sold to the public, performs much, much better than the Samsung Galaxy S variants -- especially in stationary and walking tests.
