[Galaxy 3 Android Development] pp63.1:
I totally agree about monitoring apps and no task killers.

But inactive processes don't eat any CPU. Android has its own way of handling process termination (the user can't close the application, as we do on a PC), but an application which is not running (= not in the foreground) does NOT use the CPU. However, ill-devised apps with background services always running despite the application not being in the foreground DO eat CPU...

From the user point of view, it's of course easy to say an opened application drains battery... But from a technical point of view, it's wrong IF the app is well-conceived.

So to be clear, a "good" application can be in the background, not running, with a big or small memory footprint, it does not drain the battery. BUT a faulty application, which does not stop its background services when it's not in the foreground, can drain the battery...
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] xenixas:
look what I found :]

Today we found this on the twitter of SamsungMobileUK:

Froyo update: Testing’s on schedule & UK customers should have it by end Nov, inc. a solution to the Froyo Android Mkt issue being discussed

This means Samsung delayed Froyo update again.

We tweet this for you:

- Galaxy S update again delayed. Thats really good for all new android phones NOT. Very strange XDA fix everything Samsung fix NOTHING!

- A company with more than 150.000 people can't fix a froyo update for one phone what will happen if Samsung start selling more Android phones.

- How long we have to wait? Why no good press message? We know you watch us Samsung! Come with a good message to your people!

[Galaxy 3 Android Development] tgunator:
I don't know why it's so difficult to update phone operative system, Google has to work on it, it's ridiculous.

There are millions of Galaxy S in the world, and have problems with froyo upgrade. What about i5800? Maybe it will be even worst, sure.

Google has to work on updates independent on the hardware, and other specific updates for specific phone models.

Sorry for my English, I'll hope you undesrtand me.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] rex4u:
Google does not release updates manufacturers does. In our case Samsung.

Seeing their rate of updates probably next time I will go for HTC :(

hi everybody. i have a mini galaxy GT-I5800

i'm tryin' to root it....but when i run the "one click program" and from the recovery i select the update.zip it seems to works. but on the screens appears a signal of warning /!\. Maybe the process done all the work but when i try to use, for example, live wallpapers... the app tell me that my handset doesn't support the live wallpaper feature.

Also when i try to run ROM manager..it tells me that i need to root my phone and the app can't find Superuser into /system/bin/su and /system/xbin/su...

but superuser is here, in my application menu...

why i can't root it? in the archive i still have the update.zip file

How i can have the recovery menu?

Hi,

Have you scan through this thread (roughly 70 pages) ? In the first pages there are many walkthrough posts to help you.

Anyway, without any relevant data (error message, current firmware, what did you do exactly, firmware to flash, etc.) about the issue, I guess we can't really help you...
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] xenixas:
I can :) just read first post, take you phone and do it :D and if you don't understand anything, just put your phone where it belongs to be :D in trash bin :D :D
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] tina333:
If you can't help or at least be nice its probably best to say nothing!

I used "universal androot" on a i5500 and it worked instantly :-) it also worked on dell streak & se x10i so I would always try that one first now!

Good luck :-)

I succeed root my I5800.

But Root Explorer can't access /system/bin (be force close) so I can't apply adhoc fix :confused:

Hey guys,how is the wifi signal reception on your phone?Actually i have observed that in the same room the wifi signal on my laptop is excellent and on my phone it shows fair or sometimes good.Anyone else observed the same?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] pp63.1:
That's not really surprising, as the wifi antenna is smaller in the handheld than in a larger device, such as a laptop.

However, you can try to use a different radio channel (thanks to the web admin interface of your wifi router) so that the wifi should use a less used channel ; there are 13 channels available for the wifi networks (if you live in a building, and if most of your neighbours are using the same wifi channels, it could be useful to set your wifi on a different channel)

I done all the passages in the first post with the one click root. without copying the root.zip (update.zip) in the SD.... i thought that the app will made automatically a update.zip in my sd.

now i'm trying to copy the zip in my SD but my macbook can't recognize the phone.... (is still in debug mode).

Previously i have put some files into sd without problems....but now on the phone there is the battery icon that show "in charge" but there is no connection for putting files in this sami....

How can i make a factory reset of this phone?

Ps. my phone is I5800XXJG3, i have to upgrade it? i can use the tutorial in the first post with mac osx?

best regards

[Galaxy 3 Android Development] 4ourMor:
how i can have the recovery menu without a computer?

You can't wipe the root off, its embedded. You will need to use universal androot or similar and select "unroot" :-)

Is there anything specific requirement to launch the one click root program? i have the .net 4 and when i launch the "Galaxy S I9000 One-Click Root.exe" i get an error the error Mem is (0xc000007b) is there anything that i need more? im using Windows 7 i tried it on Windows XP and get the same problem. And if i use the rootme.bat? Any other way to root?

PS: About GPS fix i downloaded the GPSoptimiser and Booster by Octy but they dont help i still dont get any signal, maybe some1 else had this problem? anyway to fix it?

Thank you
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Ano59:
Both launchers don't use much battery. However, if they run together, the battery drains incredibly fast. If this happens, you have to kill TouchWiz like I did and prevent it from launching if it isn't enough.

I was using a noname Android previously, with crap hardware (but nice price :) ). Its Wifi antenna wasn't good, my I5801's is much better. I didn't compare it to a laptop's though.

Has anyone upgraded to the latest North American version yet? and how does it perform?

I have the Telus model i5800 running i5800LTLJI1 .. But debating on upgrading or not.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] panaliu7:
Is it North American? I tried the JG8, but it comes with another language other than English, although you can change in settings.

So I thought it was South American, so I installed Europe version.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] precurse:
Yeah Telus = Canada.. So basically USA.

I can't really find this firmware anywhere, so that's why I'm hesitant on upgrading... Since I can't fall back to this firmware if anything goes wrong on the new flash.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] panaliu7:
You're right, I tried to find it also, but I couldnt find it anywhere. Im currently in US, and using Europe firmware, and that is what everyone is recommending, so I would recommend it too.

Edit;

Oh, and I meant in the first post, about the firmware not Telus. It says the firmware is America, but Im not so sure if it is North American firmware.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] precurse:
Which one are you using? The one with the memory fix? Or a different one.

Also, what benefit did it have over your original rom?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] panaliu7:
Im using JI2, some people chose this over the JI4 saying its the best...

And yea, the one that says (no memory problems).

I rooted my phone thanks to these guys here, and my firmware was the stock one, so the one I have now is newer, and with root, I have more things to do.

BTW, my phone is unlocked, just fyi...

Welcome

Welcome Galaxy 3 users,

First of all, I would like to say thank you for this thread. Now I have a rooted, updated phone with the latest European firmware and wifi fix.

I plan to upload a modified root utility, which will do the following in one step:

root the phone

enable live wallpapers

wifi adhoc fix

Anybody else having this issue?

I tried hooking up my phone to Kies, but it doesn't prompt me to select "Kies" or other choices - USB Mass storage, etc..

Also, when I turn on Debugging mode, it doesn't tell me my phone's in debugging mode. Thus ADB doesn't work, and I can't get at any files on my phone.

I'd rather not do a factory reset if I can help it.

"Android 2.2 Update for Galaxy Apollo. Release will come after the 2.2 for Galaxy S!"
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] rmagyar:
You can use it on an already rooted phone. Wifi fix is for enabling adhoc network connectivity for Android. (Adhoc networking is not allowed on Android by default)

Can't wait! :-)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] davidmat86:
Awesome. Not. Older tweets from samsung indicated it was supposed to be released at the same time, not after.

What the hell does "after" even mean? The release of 2.2 for galaxy is spread out from now to end of December... Sammy will start working on our Froyo only then? By then we'll be begging for Gingy :S

It's hard being optimistic with this kind of message...

Please help, what can I do?!

NOTE: I still get the 4 options (reboot, install update, wipe ..., wipe ...), even though my SD card is removed!

Samsung has confirmed the release of the Froyo update for South Korean Galaxy S users. The update which was delayed previously due to optimization issues will be available from next week. Froyo is said to make Galaxy S’ application processing speed 2-5 times faster than the phone running Android 2.1.

so that means next week then galaxy s gets update we will get it to? or they just starts to optimize issiues on apollo?

To those who already have rooted their mobile,enabled live wallpaper still need internet via ad-hoc(from laptop)

extract wpa_supplicant in root.zip from rmagyar's post

people who need their mobile to use internet from laptop replace the wpa_supplicant file using root explorer in system/bin folder restart your mobile.now that it can see ad-hoc network but couldnt connect to it,struck in obtaining address thing....

First Configure it as a computer-to-computer (ad hoc) wireless connection, then press add in the wireless network window.

Please note if your wireless network is open, you should choose open network for the WLAN security mode, otherwise you have to enter your WEP key as you entered above.

When this has been finished, go to the advanced settings. Choose IPv4 settings, specify the IP address as 192.168.0.3 or others other than your modem's ip and laptop's ip. And enter ip of your laptop as the default gateway. Now click on start, and choose RUN, enter CMD and click ok. Enter ipconfig/all when a CMD window appears, wirte down the primary and secondary DNS addresses of the network that connect to the internet.
