[Vibrant Android Development] rbcamping:
Well, my phone was rooted with the lag fix and I updated some of the apps. this caused the phone to keep going to sleep like it did when I first rooted the phone. The app that caused this problem was Set Cpu which was one of the apps that I updated. I uninstalled the app to reinstall it and the phone will now only go to the boot screen and shut off. I figure I might as well install this update. but before I do, tell me. Will the 2.2 update still show up on the phone when it comes out? Where is the best info on using Odin for doing this install as I originally used the one click root with the lag fix done only on the phone. I don't know how to use to move files from the computer to the phone.
[Vibrant Android Development] jonathan3579:
I'm actually very satisfied with this update. Here's a few changes I've noticed in no particular order:

-GPS and compass fix (FULLY WORKING FOR ME)

-Market does a better job of downloading and installing (And finds more apps for me now such as Angry Birds Lite Beta)

-Media Hub now works

-Phone can actually work while doing media scanning/media scan time has decreased

-Swype now has voice integration

-New TouchWiz widgets

-Task Manager (Can be accessed with long press of Home button)

-Launcher is much much smoother

-Ability to now choose "WCDMA only" in Mobile Network Settings

-Music player has quite a few cosmetic updates

-Browser now has settings rearranged (Much better in my opinion)

I'm sure there's more but that's what I have noticed in these past couple hours of running.

those are kept on your sd card, flashing does not erase the sd card files, so those are safe

My GPS is worse....

8 satellites in view and zero locked. I wanted to see if this flash reset my GPS settings but this firmware does not have the GPS test mode either. :confused:

Can anyone tell me how to flash back the old lbstestmode app?

If only there was an update.zip for those of us who have macs and thus cannot use ODIN
[Vibrant Android Development] thedarkpassenger:
+1

I don't know if I want to risk trying to flash under vmware
[Vibrant Android Development] grennis:
Who cares? The update will be posted here on XDA before anyone gets it OTA. Just flash it then.
[Vibrant Android Development] NexVision:
Bootcamp.......
[Vibrant Android Development] thedarkpassenger:
Yeah, it might come to that. But I REALLY don't need a whole partition for windows, I already have a separate one for Ubuntu
[Vibrant Android Development] gothdroid:
You can't get ODIN to recognize the Vibrant while in vmware. And for the boot camp, my hard drive for some reason won't let me partition it to be able to use boot camp (I get some weird error that even the people at the Apple Store don't understand). So I guess I am just SOL until someone comes up with the update.zip file.
[Vibrant Android Development] thedarkpassenger:
Yeah I'm glad I didn't try ODIN then, I had problems with drivers flashing my HD2 under vmware, and I figured there may be similar issues here.
[Vibrant Android Development] gothdroid:
I'm actually planning on buying a cheap netbook with my next paycheck just so that way I can work with ODIN and get various other things working that I can't do with Snow Leopard
[Vibrant Android Development] rajendra82:
Missing market apps with new firmwares is always an issue because the market does not recognize the fingerprint. You need to be rooted and should open the file /system/build.prop in a text editor. Scroll down till you come to the section titled # Do not try to parse ro.build.description or .fingerprint. After this are two lines, on which the name of the firmware will be stated as T959UVJI2. Change the last three letters in the name on both lines to JFD. Then save the file and reboot, and then go to market and download and install a couple of apps. After this the missing apps will show up again and won't go away until you install another unofficial firmware.
[Vibrant Android Development] oswade:
question. can you install this firmware (or any vibrant fw for that matter) on the international galaxy s i9000?

Help!! downloaded the all in one zip and followed the instructions and all went well until I opened odin and went to select the 512 pit file and there is not one and the phone is connected and is in download mode and I have not started anything. The file I downloaded does have the new firmware and all seems to be okay except no 512 pit file. Where can I download this? Sorry for the questions but this is my first time and I am a complete noobie. can i exit odin and turn off my phone so I can try again later after getting the 512 pit file and will it redboot as usual? Any and all help will be GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!!
[Vibrant Android Development] amd_203:
No. Not unless someone modified it to do so. Like Sense on a Nexus One but I doubt anyone would go through the trouble of moding a T-Mobile ROM to work on a international Galaxy S.
[Vibrant Android Development] zimphishmonger:
Yes, all the previous battery mods will NOT work, and will causes FC city if you try it. Its because I used the stock framework from the original Vibrant build, and they seemed to have changed something in the firmware. When we get update.zip versions of this build (as I hate ODIN only releases), I will put together a working accurate battery mod.
[Vibrant Android Development] aohmer:
Btw ... I have this up and running, but I can't make/receive calls or send text messages anyone else having problems?
[Vibrant Android Development] scrizz:
I love this update!

My GPS works Great now!

i had tried all the other GPS "fixes"

but they didn't work.

I flashed this yesterday night

and tested today.

I lock onto 7-9 sats withing seconds!

accuracy is good too!
[Vibrant Android Development] aohmer:
Doing a factory reset to see if that helps, if not I will go back to stock :(
[Vibrant Android Development] aohmer:
Yeah that didn't work, going back to the stock firmware .. this sux! GPS was working awesome!

im getting 2191 quadrant score with this update and using the lag fix!!:D
[Vibrant Android Development] scrizz:
I was getting some FCs in the settings(EDIT: they are being caused by MobileAPv2)

I read a post where someone had updated with all the lagfixes and had problems.

They Odin'd back to stock JFD and the updated to JI2 and were good.

And this is much much better that the original stock JFD

GPS works great
[Vibrant Android Development] Relikk356:
Installed new firmware, works good. Not great.

GPS is for sure fixed for me. Locked on to six satellite's in like seconds, in doors.

Also connects to 3G very fast; I normally had to wait for 30 seconds or longer to switch over.

Reading through all of these threads, people are saying that the update makes their overall system seems faster, but to me it seems slower. I'm noticing more lag now then ever before. It's very minimal and I will deal with it for the GPS fix.

update

When you open the app drawer then go back to home there is a transition i've never seen before. its possble Ive never noticed but this is where im seeing the lag. Especially if you go to apps, then hit the hardware home key.
[Vibrant Android Development] jonathan3579:
I'm steadily getting over 900 on quadrant now. However, I noticed that when you click applications, it doesn't show the market so no cache to clear. I'm wondering if this is final firmware.
[Vibrant Android Development] gasketman:
Put this on via odin last night. Installed easy (does wipe everything in phone memory - DOES NOT wipe anything from your internal sd or external sd). Quad score of 835. Installed "RyanZA" One Click Lag Fix (installed perfectly) and scores jumped to 2240 (expected). I then installed from TBackup 465 apps - no lag at all, GPS locked 8 of 11 (before 2 of 8) and did not lock up any program using GPS (CoPilot, Maps, Ndrive, etc).

Overall - seems to be a winner until Eugene comes out with Hybrid R4 (which I'm sure will use the GPS fix and other good stuff from this ROM).

Now we just wait for 2.2 ...........

I cant get odin to work phone went to boot screen and shut off today when I updated some apps (phone no worky) so I decided to put the new updated rom on the phone with odin, and I cant get it to work (I could really use some help here) I have the pic file in place and the rom inplace with the phone in download mode and this is all I get.

[Vibrant Android Development] bobofosho123:
I've done EVERYTHING I can think of to fix the gps issue on my phone, installed this update, applied that gps fix.zip, and no dice. It still locks me on more than a mile away from my location, I can't figure it out for the life of me. Any one else STILL having problems with this phone. I've had SOOO many issues with this damn phone, not to mention the hd2 before that. I'm thinking of trading this damn for a nexus one.
[Vibrant Android Development] scrizz:
A word of caution to my fellow XDA members.

If you flash the update ontop on the update it is going to cause the download mode to freeze and the phone will go into pc-phone mode!

If you're stuck, try this: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=8120186&postcount=33

if u want to start clean on the new, flash the JFD first and then flash the JI2

don't apply the gpsfix.zip on top of this

I cant seem to get odin to see my phone. when I plug the phone in oden does not light up. I have the drivers installed for windows 7 and have rebooted the computer. any suggestions?
[Vibrant Android Development] bobofosho123:
ODIN won't "see" your pc, without you holding both volume up/down keys on the vibrant. This is how it should go.

1.) open ODIN

2.) Make sure vibrant is off and plugged-in to pc

3.) then without doing ANYTHING else, hold ONLY the volume up/down buttons

4.) ODIN should see the phone and if you've setup odin right, your good to go, the phone will install the rom, and then reboot to the homescreen.
[Vibrant Android Development] p()()pypants:
You need to flash the original stock first through odin then come back and flash this alone without the other files. My guess is that's your problem. If that doesn't work flash back to stock again, flash eugenes vibrant 9 rom. Honestly my gps has been "fixed" for some time now. I just turn on use wireless networks to help it and I get a solid 10 meter lock within 10 seconds. No need for plain with settings in lbs test mode, no need for separate flashing of other gpsfix.zip, nothing. Just works.

I plan on flashing this just to play with n everything but you best bet my nandroid back up for vibrant 9 with all my customized launcher, modded battery and notification bar and no lag (without a lag fix)...

Really just waiting to see what all the devs can steal from this for us and throw into their new roms.

[Vibrant Android Development] rbcamping:
Odin is on the desktop and open the phone has its down load screen on and is plugged in to the computer the computer goes tada to let me know the phone is plugged in. Odin does not change in color or anything. If I try to use it nothing happens.

wtf am I missing
[Vibrant Android Development] bobofosho123:
did u insert the two files, the .tar file and the other one, into the PDA and some other sections of odin before you booted into download mode?
[Vibrant Android Development] rbcamping:
No

this is what I get on odin

osm all threads completed succeed 0 failed 0

and it just sits there and does nothing

when I plug the phone in as I said odin does not change

I have had odin all loaded and ready to go before hooking the phone up and I have done it the opposite way. Some one has got to have run into this problem. Most likely a Microsoft problem
[Vibrant Android Development] ransome7:
Flashed the new rom , no pit

I just used Odin to flash this rom update , I just loaded the tar file , didnt load the pit file. Everything works fine. Is that going to be a problem?

Or maybe you don't need to use pit with this rom update.
[Vibrant Android Development] VICosPhi:
Can you connect the phone via ADB? that way we can isolate the issue better...
[Vibrant Android Development] bobofosho123:
that's odd, it worked for me, i would flash back to your original rom through clockworkmod and nandroid, and simply try again from there. If that doesn't work, honestly, I was just using this new rom, it kinda sucks to be honest, there's nothing great about, the gps is ok at best still, at least for me, and there's not much else to rave about. It's still NOT FROYO, which means no flash, etc. Anyway, imo, just flash to a great rom like vibrant9.zip until either a dev or samsung comes out with an update. later. i'm going to bed.
[Vibrant Android Development] vikramdhani:
I am very happy with Eugene`s Hybrid rom but i am still looking for the GPS Fix. Is it possible to extract the GPS fix from this rom or that is not possible
[Vibrant Android Development] rbcamping:
Thanks for your help. this phone is stuck in boot mode from updating apps earlier today so I cant really just load a rom with out getting somekind of access to it. I am not familiar with clockwork. and if it works like odin I'm screwed and this phone is going back to TM. as is, All I did was update some apps.

What really gets me pissed is that these phones are defective and TM continues to sell them and sigh contracts with full knowledge. can anyone say fraud.

They should pull the phones and stop selling them untill the repairs are made.
[Vibrant Android Development] bobofosho123:
before going through the even bigger pain in the ass of sending your phone back, why don't you start a thread thoroughly explaining your problem, and maybe even upload and post a video explaining your problem on youtube, always works for me. anyway, good luck ;)

I hope I'm not just imagining more things fixed with this Update, but on my ride to work it seems that the Bluetooth audio streaming has greatly improved. There was actual mids!!!

Also, where I normal got no 3G connection at work I now get 2 to 4 bars.
[Vibrant Android Development] krichek:
I stream Slacker Radio via Bluetooth all the time in my car and never noticed a problem before. In fact everyone who has been in my car comments on how good it sounds and are amazed at how well it interfaces with the radio.
[Vibrant Android Development] Relikk356:
I've never tried slacker radio. I just run straight MP3's. There are threads dedicated to A2DP streaming issues, so I know i'm not the only one. It does seem much better since the update.
[Vibrant Android Development] lp894:
so....anybody have any clue why i get stuck on the "modem.bin" in odin?
[Vibrant Android Development] heygrl:
There was an A2DP update for Korea back in July so yes it was a problem.
[Vibrant Android Development] rbcamping:
I figured out the problem, for some reason the drivers are not installing properly on 64 windows 7

anyone have a suggestion on how to make sure I have the right driver and how to check if it is installed or how to make sure its installed properly. I unpacked the zip files to the c drive, now what?
[Vibrant Android Development] Novek:
so is it worth the install when we know 2.2 is just around the corner? =)
[Vibrant Android Development] krichek:
Could it be something with .mp3's? I don't have any, so I've never tried one (all my music is stored in lossless format). I also noticed in another thread you had mentioned really low volume which is something else I don't have a problem with. In fact I have to set the media volume to about 3/4's or it is just way to loud when I turn it up on the radio. Maybe it's more an issue with certain devices? I don't have anything else I could stream to, to test sadly.
[Vibrant Android Development] boodies:
yeah add me as well. for the first time, I am getting over 4 connections. Now it's normal for me to lock on to 9 or more. for all you guys who said this is hardware EAT IT
[Vibrant Android Development] gothdroid:
Someone who has already flashed this should post a nandroid for this ROM so that way those of us without ODIN access can flash this to our phones
[Vibrant Android Development] boodies:
I guess it's really up to you. We should be getting 2.2 in less than a month. But this is a really easy install and helped with many of the "issues" with the stock stock rom. Can't go wrong either way.
[Vibrant Android Development] boodies:
yeah, I am also getting couple more 3G bars. Instead of only 1, I am getting 2 to 3 bars. This is in my room.
[Vibrant Android Development] Silrocco:
I installed the new UVJ12 firmware and found that the GPS works much faster now, it connects to 11 satellites oppose to 4-5 satellites before the firmware. Also, the GPS locks much quicker too.

Though I did notice and can confirm with others that some apps are not available through the Market i.e., Sling. Thank God I did a Titanium backup and was able to install all my apps that were no longer visible through the Market.

In other words, I highly recommend doing Titanium back up before you upload this firmware to your phone.

Performed update using Win 7 64x

Thank you very much for grouping all required things to perform the update. 1st Class all the way!! :)
[Vibrant Android Development] Novek:
does nandroid backup just system, or userdata from internal memory also? If just system I'll make a nandroid for peeps to flash :)
[Vibrant Android Development] grennis:
What makes you think that 2.2 is right around the corner, given that Samsung and TMO are obviously still working on this Eclair build.
[Vibrant Android Development] Novek:
Because Samsung has said that all Galaxy S phones will get 2.2 in late september 2010 :)
[Vibrant Android Development] boodies:
do you really think Samsung only has 2 people working at the software level for this phone? They probably have numerous divisions working on many different things at the same time. stop whining, we are really sick of it.
[Vibrant Android Development] jdkackley:
It happens sometimes. Dont know why. Just unplug the phone, pull the battery for like 15 seconds, put battery back in, plug phone back in to usb. That should do it.
[Vibrant Android Development] Essien:
Had one issue with odin locking during cache but I've always gotten the on anything but the stock image. Used a different download but same version of odin and it worked just fine.

Installed and works great thus far. GPS actually locks while I'm in my office at work. TouchWiz is still a little too laggy for my tastes so I'll be goin back to LauncherPro.

Now to remove the crap-ware again.
[Vibrant Android Development] phr00t:

[Vibrant Android Development] gothdroid:
You can set the nandroid options to back up only the system. The best way to do it is to do a Titanium Backup first then when you go into Clockwork just selected wipe data/cache then perform the nandroid back up. When that is finished just boot back up into your phone and then restore via Titanium

Anybody having battery issues with this new build?
[Vibrant Android Development] dex1701:
Well, if flashing Android ROMs is anything like flashing ROMs on other phone platforms, flashing a new ROM will reset the battery usage tracking mechanism. This means that it's no longer calibrated.

If that's what's happening it should calibrate over time. You can also let your battery run down completely and charge it fully with the power off once or twice, as this seems to speed up the calibration process. Some people call it battery conditioning, but it's not...you don't need to "condition" lithium batteries.
