I tried the I5500WJI2 that seems to be a corrected I5500WJI1 version (the WJI1 file has a wrong file into it).

You need to make new tar files adding the contenct of the WJI2 version on a working one. I started from the WJH4 firmware.

I haven't found differences until now only the necessity to reinstall all applications again :(

I didn't find any log file helping about differences anyone have it?

Hello.

I have a problem with WIFI on Galaxy 5 (i5500)(Europa) too. They have already changed my phone with new one, but the issue remains. So, for the second time now, I was able to connect my phone to my router for the first time, but after the first interruption or disconnection of WIFI I could not access to wifi anymore.

When I enable wifi in the phone starts ''connecting'' but then reports ''interrupted'' eventhough the signal is recognised as strong.

Firmwire version is the latest available. Router is encrypted with WPA2. Also I can access to router with my HTC Tattoo (Click).

Does anyone know the solution?

I have a decision to make(today), becouse If there is no solution to this I will change to another phone as I still can (Galaxy Spica).

Advise please.

Thanks a lot

Audio settings

Hello,

I have one issue with I5500 - the way the handset sound is tuned from factory makes it hard to understand what the other person is saying. Compared to my previous phone the sound has low treble. This issue is very annoying especially when the other caller is male. I noticed in the service menu that there are many handset audio settings but I have no idea what they do. Does anyone have any knowledge of the service menu audio settings?

I have a Telecom NZ GT-I5503 and have upgraded to the 2.2 Froyo rom and it works fine
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] pjl3dm:
Hi Everyone,

I have a GT-I5503 and I was able to flash it to Froyo 2.2 (I5500L).

As some users were reporting there seems to be a problem with the battery life and I have no idea how to fix this.

I have recently charged it to full 100% and I went to sleep. After waking up I can see that the batter is already at 56%. This is not true before, I checked the settings and the duration since it was last plugged is only 8 hours 30mins.

Draining 44% on idle isn't really a good thing, is there anyone out there who has a solution for this?

Thanks. :))

Can you tell me for solution.

After a rom upgrade you have to do battery recalibration and you can also try to wipe battery stats.

My battery problems just solved themselves by doing full discharges and full charges.

Try to reboot after a huge battery drain, in my case the phone corrected the battery readings value.

[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] weirskynet:
For anyone having problems with battery i stated before and this works fine for me i use widgets for weather and news etc

Download Advanced Task Killer Pro from AppPlanet app store

set it to auto kill apps every 30 mins aggressively but ignore things like alarms and widgets etc

this works fine for me , also brightness level lower if if u dont have trouble viewing screen, also download wifi keeper to make sure ur wifi signal gets kept on (when in house or connected to wifi) and not close over whe screen logs off as then it will try to use 3g/hsdpa and that uses more battery than wifi

but the major thing to do it make sure u download and install advanced task killer pro then set it to auto killer apps every 30 mins and the level of auto kill to aggressive

this has worked fine for me and im using froyo happily:p
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] pjl3dm:
I'm not sure why you'd want to set your phone to auto-kill apps, I'd want my phone to be always online to some internet-related apps like meebo, facebook, etc.

I've been using froyo firmware for about 4 days now and the battery problem still isn't solved yet, as suggested by other people in this thread, "calibrating" the battery is the best thing to do and to do this you have to drain battery life until the phone shuts down thne charge it to max. Since then I have done this, I've drained my phone 3x in a row now and charged it to 100% in a span of 3 days.

So far I've been getting mixed results, at first my battery lfie went up to 20 hours unplugged after I first fully charged the phone, then now it lasts up to 13, and now its at 55% at only 11 hours unplugged.

The battery's been really erratic for me, is this a bug on this version? Or is there a better way to "calibrate the battery". I've seen some steps involving the use of the adb in order to do this.

Can anyone post a guide to do this?

Thanks. :)

[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] weirskynet:
Well as i stated earlier in a post i have no battery issues wot so ever i have installed and run the advanced task killer pro and kill set to kill apps every 30mins

And in response to previous post u can also set it to ignore apps such as widgets or facebook so saying i dont want to kill every app is dumb as u only kill wot u arent using as alot open in the background
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] pjl3dm:
I think you misunderstood me here, the purpose of the background processes, are well... to be processes that are ran in the background. SnS services, calendar, facebook, etc. -- these processes are all vital and need to be run. Android doesn't run the apps when you're not in focus of it -- that is why the only running apps are background processes.

Besides what you are saying here is not a fix or solution but rather a workaround in exchange of killing apps. I like my phone to run apps in the background even if they're not in heavy use, widgets, sns, etc. -- this is to ensure that I can readily access them when I use my phone.

There seems to be a real problem with the battery not being calibrated or either this froyo version is just not optimized in battery usage yet. I'm planning to switch back as I type this -- maybe an official froyo version would be better optimized.

But as we are still waiting for a better version -- would anyone have an alternative fix for the battery problems? (Battery calibration, etc.)
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] sinilill:
I also had the battery problem, now i'm on 1d,4h and have 52% left.

The extreme battery drain is an issue if you change ROM's or kernels, that's why you need to recalibrate your battery.

I had to do 5 full charge and drain cycles and also a 2nd hard reset.

If that doesn't give any results, then search google for "wipe battery stats".

Or on youtube "battery calibration" the second result ABC: Android battery calibration - video guide.

Also you have to be absolutely sure, that your newly installed programs aren't causing the battery drain, try to run the stock froyo for couple of days.

For those of you who downgrading to 2.1, let us know if it solved the battery problem.
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] pjl3dm:
Interesting results. :)

This was my 3rd full charge and right now my phone died, it had a total of 19h 34m uptime before it turned itself off. Its still draining too fast, I'm using it minimally, most of the time its idle.

I'll still give this a few more days or perhaps even a week just to be sure the battery gets calibrated.

Thanks for your inputs friend. :)
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] weirskynet:
Also i may be worth while noting that iuse a different home screen launcher i used both ahome (current) and launcher pro as my alternative to the twlauncher as that wouldnt show apps on sd card after a restart as was very slow .

so it might be worth while trying to change ur stock standard home launcher and testing it out with advanced task killer to kill any apps u dot want to open like browser and multitude of background apps ..

but set it to ignore the apps and widgets u wants keeps on such as sns alarms facebook meebo etc and it wont kill them doesn't effect background checking for apps if u keep that enabled. all it will do is once the background app has finished and is still loaded but not needed it is killed . u still get the fresh data there

i think from the replies alot of people see this as a work around for a bad battery issue but to be honest the response i have had for telling people to use a task killer was very negative, so it really aint suprising that these people complain about a bad battery or massive drain.

its a smart fone with lots of things it does in the background some of the stuff u wont need or want it to do or open randomly but it does, so unless u have something in place to kill this then it will stay open and drain battery using data all the time

like for instance if ur on 3g/HSDPA and have it for sns etc and facebook or meebo it will use data charges and a bit of battery , but if it inturn opens up say bbc news or sky news, and other apps that use data then ur 3g/HSDPA connection will be used more and drain more battery than normal, all along u still think it wasnt opened to start with.

all i ask is for folk to at least try what im saying for a week or so then report back. i have tried and continue to use it without a flaw i have also rooted 2.2 and have the install sd card app soi can move even system apps to the sd card .

my widgets and psn widgets news ticker etc alarm are all ignored and update as and when required my battery doesnt drain like the rest but i have the task killer to kill background apps i dont use or need loaded every 30 mins. I dont lose any functionality on my mobile and everything works great.
