i tried that, i put my phone in download mode, and odin worked :) however after it installs the new version, the phone just get stuck in the intro screen saying "GT-I5800" (the usual screen at startup) but it doesnt get over that, keeps on saying that, no matter how many times i reinstall the software(using odin), im starting to think it will be necessary to send it back to warranty.

do you have any idea what i should do to get it to function?

can i install another version to see if it works?, i already tried one of the latest 2.1, like XXJI2 and the same thing happens, can someone tell me any hard reset combination that i can use when my phone is turned off or something else i can do to solve this?

plese if someone help me i dont know what to do
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Gsam101:
Yes, it works for me ;)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Gsam101:
You should do it anyway. Always risky to flash your bootloader.

[Galaxy 3 Android Development] shlamber:
thanks it really worked :D :D but i tried many diferent roms, both 2.1 and 2.2 and the only one that run without any program or features breaking down was the original i had, one of the firsts 2.1 more especificly xxjg2. after installing that one the phone started normally and from then i could install any version with no problems, but the only one that ran and everything worked well was the inicial version jg2.

many thanks for the tip :)

edit: i tried the jpa and after i did a factory reset and is working fine :)

Is it safe..?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] sirtbhopal:
z4root is not working on JPA/B/8/9

Use SuperOneClick....

its working for all above.. :)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] addicted2088:
Download the attached Superoneclick.zip file. Extract its contents. Then follow the steps:

1. From the extracted contents, run the file named Superoneclick.

2. Turn off your phone, then connect it to the computer using the USB Cable. Don't turn on the phone. Keep it off but connected to the computer.

3. In Superoneclick, click on the 'Root' button. After a few seconds, it'll say 'Waiting for device'.

4. Now turn on your phone (while it is still connected to the computer). Superoneclick will detect the phone.

5. Now the phone will be rooted, while it is starting up. When it is started, it'll be rooted.

6. After rooting, download and install busybox on your phone. It should take care of any slowing down of your phone after rooting.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] addicted2088:
It is a work in progress. You can give it a try at your own risk.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] HSaber:
@addicted2088 Thanks! bro for the quick reply but I have tried and SuperOneClick just stopped on Waiting for device... and nothing else happened, I follwed your steps but I guess there is something that am not doing right !!!
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] addicted2088:
Are you following the step of turning on the phone after clicking on the Root button? And does your computer make a 'hardware connected' sound when the phone is turned on?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] ed_vollegas:
then maybe you should buy another phone ?

I think you can't expect to buy a budget phone and get top-end features.

It's normal samsung is putting more effort in its more high-end devices.

I had the chance to compare my SG3 to the Galaxy S of a friend, and my conclusion was that the S is indeed better, but its not 2,5 times better, while it is 2,5 times more expensive.

I didn't want to spend the money for a galaxy S of high-end HTC device, so I'm still happy with my decision and for what I paid, I think it's still a very nice thing with a lot of nice features !
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] yogi9115:
it worked for me :-)

Hey, does anyone know how to backup your contacts? I know there is a way to create a backup on the sd card in android itself, but I need a backup so my facebook, google and twitterfriends are still there too + linked to the phonenumber in my contacts...

What app did you mention to make a backup of your text messages?

Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] ashrith:
Can someone tell me what is included in the custom rom? And also, is it Froyo or Eclair? Thanks :)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] toondewachter:
Try doing it like this, it worked for me:

1. Type *#*#3214789650#*#* (= enter GPSsetup2) in dialer

2. Go to settings --> parameter settings --> SSL

3. select disable above and google server below

4. go back twice and click commands

5. click get position and press start gps

6. you should get a signal in less than 30 seconds, probably in 10 to 15 sec

7. run any program that requires gps signal

In JPA I only had to do this once, in JPB I sometimes need to do it again in order to work. But then again, apart from the few flaws of JPA, I seem to like that firmware better than JPB: for the battery and the GPS
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] rcoliveira:
I have a problem that has not been adjusted, where do I turn off my data connection for a long time he did not care when I need to restart the phone.

I'm with the latest version XXJPB.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] toondewachter:
There is no custom rom, but I think you are talking about a modified tar file from one of this forum's users.

What he did is he removed the boot.bin and spbl.bin in order not to overwrite the boot partition. This supposedly prevents your phone from being bricked.

He also added a datafs.rfs file that creates a new partition when you flash firmware. That should prevent you to get stuck at the samsung logo.

This file is Froyo I5800XXJPA.

However, I must warn you: one user got a bricked phone due to the datafs.rfs (it got stuck flashing at that point and he stupidly pulled out the usb cable). It is not proven to be a safe way to flash. Nobody actually knows whether it is a good idea to flash that file. On the other hand there have been a few users reporting that they finally succeeded in flashing.

What I would do is flash the original file. If that doesn't work out too well, first flash the original firmware version that came with your phone and try again to flash Froyo (a method that seems to have worked for a few members too when they got stuck).

Only in the end when that didn't work either, I'd try this one.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] ravenious:
how have you installed live wallpapers?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] sketch.droid:
yes.. verrrrry stupidly "turned off the phone".. But just to be fair on the hard work on the edited JPA .. That augrade was the first I used/tried and it worked like a charm.

MY incident happened by ADDING the datafs.rfs to a earlier firmware. Which is what another thread suggested to do.

I cant confirm for certain that this does not work...as I only waited about 11min before turning off the phone... :( :(

BUT.. the patched JPA does indeed work.

GPS

Hi.

I'm new to Android.

My problem is related to GPS.

I've read the initial post regarding to GPS fix.

I did what Octy said to do with his automatic option, "FINAL" GPS FIX By Octy: Fully Automatic.

The question is, it is necessary root to apply this fix?

I'm asking this because i still cant connect to satallites. I've turned on the GPs and waited about a hour and nothing... no satelites...

Can you help me?

no improvement in the quadrant score but it was a little smoother..

wifi refused to work and a few other issues :-(
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] toondewachter:
I'm sorry I didn't want to mock you! Just wanted to warn someone else... in the end the datafs.rfs is what made your phone hang, isn't it? As I understood, it was not much of hard work, but a datafs.rfs from another firmware that he put into that tar file. Just as you did...

I'm glad that you're going to have a new phone :D

Samsung eventually can't find out that you tried flashing can they? I recall to have had a Nokia that was bricked by me too (due to the usb port of the phone's fault) and Nokia didn't bother either, they replaced the phone too.

I wouldn't bother about the lagfix though... I don't think it's worth it. Froyo on the other hand :p

If they only came out with a good working version. Take the good from JPA and JPB and it should be perfect!

[Galaxy 3 Android Development] gazski:
Well, after running JPB for a good few days now i have come to the conclusion that the battery life is probably the worst i have ever had. Samsung really need to pull all the stops out to sort this MAJOR problem with the 5800. it is getting to the point that i am thinking of buying an emergency charger because i need to charge my phone every day!!!

Infact i am thinking of getting a new phone and one thing is for sure it will not be a samsung.

How can a company like that release a phone with a battery life as it is, they must have known it would be this bad and yet they still did nothing about it.

COME ON SAMSUNG, THIS NEEDS SORTING ASAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] wesley29:
Yeah battery life on the froyo firmware JPA that I'm using is not good at all. Worst thing for me though is the proximity sensor that doesn't work properly during calls, really irritating. Definitely needing a lot of charging with this firmware.

Eclair firmware JH2 that I was using before gave amazing battery life. The most I got was 5 days with medium use. Maybe you should try that and wait for a better functioning Froyo build.

The thing I hate about Galaxy 3 is the tiny space for installing apps. So far I have 26 apps installed in sd card while I'm running Froyo, but still it sux to get a notification that I have no more space to install apps;(

Also in UK Samsung gave away 3 extra back covers (not made by Samsung)that you could order online. All 3 of them cracked in the top left corner, so were useless.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] doritos93:
Come on guys, you are complaining about one of the cheapest Android phones on the market. What did you expect from beta firmware releases for a low end phone?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] sketch.droid:
Ohh dont worry, mock away, I deserve it. :D

Yeah it was the datafs.rfs that caused the download to hang, I was just mentioning that the JPA fix that someone (sorry I forgot your name dude) done works fine.

I saw your reply to another member who was asking about that same JPA fix, and just wanted to share my experience with it.

I dont know if they can find out, but i think it was addicted2088 who assured me enough that they can't find out, as the only way to fix it would be to flash new firmware to it....so I made sure to take out my sdCard before I sent it to them. :D
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] p_san_p:
Thanks, but wud it be safe to update froyo 2.2. using the shared firmware? I was going thru the forum nd hav seen people who r trying to upgrade, r facing some or the other issue.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] braveBuddy:
Upgrading your firmware is not too risky untill you do something wrong in the process. Read the forum and get an idea about how those issues were resolved plus you can easily guess the no. of successful upgrades.

Has any one of you noticed that the battery drains quickly on JPA??

But when I reboot it, it goes back to 50, and lasts long again.

What I really don't understand is why people are complaining about these beta firmware. They have NOT been released by Samsung. Okay, so they are leaked and come from Samsung, but no one is supposed to use them on their phones yet.

So let's just stop complaining about what's wrong in these beta firmware, and wait for the final official release from Samsung (which I hope will be soon).
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Szaby59:
Default (stock) i5800 firmwares have lot of bugs, I think these firmwares aren't so different than the final release...
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] addicted2088:
The fact that each Froyo release fixes something and messes up others shows that Samsung is working on it, although maybe they could work harder. They definitely are not as good as the Eclair firmware..
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] braveBuddy:
Yes we should not complain about them but its our way of telling others what issues we are facing and may be others can be alerted.

But yes we also should not cry about them.

Yeah, I totally agree that this tells people about the bugs and problems in each firmware, but some people comment as if these are final releases.

Even I have a 5801 running Froyo. I never had a battery problem on either the stock firmware or the Froyo firmware. It at least runs a whole day no matter what, which is enough for a smartphone. And many people also think that the battery falling from 50% to 15% is a sign of poor battery life, when it is just a software problem.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Pinak.ahuja:
Anyone knows of an app which can use the backlight of buttons as notification led.

[Galaxy 3 Android Development] toondewachter:
I agree on that, however in Eclair (original JG3) I used to get more than 2 days out of my battery, in JPA even more than 3 days... JPB is only giving me 1.5 days 2 tops, while in JPA I managed to get 4 and even 5 days if I was careful with what I did.

One will have to admit something is wrong. Also the fact that battery stats report to spend more than 70% on display while it is in stand by most of the time... makes me wonder... I guess they've made a mistake somwhere that needs fixing.

I was thinking about rolling back to JPA, but I'll wait for JPC this weekend. If that sucks too, JPA will probably be the firmware I'll go with, or perhaps I'm even willing to go back to Eclair in which everything is working properly. What Eclair version would be the best saving battery? JI2, JI4 or JK1?
