[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] Reptilez_DK:
Have been following this thread for quite some time now, and yesterday, I decided to flash the 2.0.6 and do that ext2-thing.

Took me about 25 min of installing Odin, sdk, java and all of that.

All went smooth, and I didn't have any problems, except my apn needed another name. Which make sense, considering that it needs to be in English. :-D

My conclusion is that it is easy to do, even for a noob like me, and it work like a charm! Couldn't be any happier.

Thanks for all your hard work!
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] martorul:
Hi all,

I have a i5500 with 2.0.6, it is great. I have two questions:

1. How can I use flash player on this phone? I tried to install 10.1 and I failed.

2. Can the phone connect to a wirelless hotspot from a laptop with windows xp? I maked the connection on my laptop, a nokia n80 it's working but my phone it doesen't find the wirelles connection. With any other routers it's working with no problem.

Thank you.

ps: sorry for my bad english.

i do't know that i flashed my mobile now my touch screen is not working what i have to do now please provide me a solution
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] nikhilsamre:
u must be kidding... 1131 is way up than Galaxy S..

Awesome dude.. :D:D
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] Mino_32:
Oh my god people you are all exciteg because of some high number. Get real. It's just statistics. Even though it says it's above Galaxy S it really isn't. Most of the points received is for I/O. I/O!!!!!! That means no better video, no better battery, maybe just a little faster responses.
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] neolode:
Than by all means, use your superior intellect and improve the performance. I know M is looking for help.

Needs more gingerbread
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] Mino_32:
I knew someone like you would misunderstood what i was trying to say. I never said anything bad about motafoca's work. I respect him for doing it. I just said that some stupid people look at quadrant, they see taht it's higher than galaxy S and therefore Galaxy 5 must be better. Guess what? It's not and will never be.

Oh and BTW it is possible to improve performance by modifing kernel to allow overclock, but that could cause serious damage in amateur hands

I would like to help him but i'm afraid of bricking my phone. I don't have money for a new one
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] motafoca:
Odin flashing doesnt brick your phone on anyway

The worst cenario the phone wont boot

THen you just flash again with a working rom
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] steelbreeze:
I have installed the 2.0.6 version along with the ext2 conversion. But the phone is eating up almost the same amount of battery as froyo was. Is it just me? I also have mobile data internet switched off all the time. I use it only when needed. Also I have configures Advanced Task Killer to autokill every 30 mins. I dont understand what is going wrong. And my cell usage is the same as on eclair.
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] Reptilez_DK:
You need to calibrate your battery. Use it all up, then charge it all up. 3 times, is what I've read. Then it should be fine. ;-)
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] Mino_32:
That's what i thought. But if flashing with ODIN doesn't brick then what does? Because i have read many cases of people bricking their phones and flashing is the only way i could think of. Plus You are not only flashing but alfo formatting and resizing partitions (at least that's what the original lagfix did)
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] curiouso9:
the black hearted people.. begone. you aint nothing but a trash.
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] AbdelH:
I tried all and i just dont understand.

My friends have older and low performant phones but their wifi connection is better than mine.

And the wifi distance is very insufficient so i think that there is a real problem.

Can we know the model of wifi receiver of G5? Maybe it is the same that on other phones. In this case we'll be sure that this problem can be solved with software adaptation.
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] Mino_32:
If you have problem with wifi signal, return your phone. It's obviously broken. Mine wifi runs great and i'm also running froyo
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] AbdelH:
Ok thanks you for your help i will see that with my phone operator.
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] motafoca:
People brick their phones with odin because the use wrong odin versions on wrong phones

The odin 4.28 for I5500 works perfect, it doesnt touch the partitions and all is good
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] vinokirk:
Anyone tried this new firmware. Is it Froyo? I will update my sisters' phones when I see them next

This is a major problem and should be fixed by updating your firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] hazzacanary:
sadly this update isnt froyo but it does fix the repeat sms thing. i might email samsung about it - want me to post the email link?
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] myshu:

[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] John000:
Hi there,

Im having the american version froyo installed on galaxy 5 .

I'm un rooted . Can somebody tell me whether rooting voids warranty?

Is it possible to unroot a rooted galaxy 5 for the purpose of warranty.

It seems like there is a problem with the wifi, so need to send for warranty, but I can't wait to try rooting. So is it safe to root and then unroot back while sending for warranty.

Also there is problem of battery draining too fast in froyo .

Regards

[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] neolode:
If you are running the default leaked froyo the only way to root is androot's soft root witch resets after reboot. So you are ok :)

As for the battery you can either flash M's froyo or after rooting install setcpu and fiddle with the profiles and frequencies. There is info on that in older posts on this thread.
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] neolode:
Flash won't install on our phones, It considers our 600 MHz processor puny and unworthy :(. As for your hotspot problem I have no idea.
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] John000:
I'm running i5500 LUYJP2 FIRMWARE 2.2 downloaded from samfirmware.

So its safe to soft root without loosing warranty.
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] hazzacanary:
hi

can anyone do a versus comparison between android eclair, the leaked 2.2, and the motofoca batfix version, as in whats the battery life like, performance, and any glitches/bugs. Also, how risky is it updating firmware via odin?
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] John000:
You can install flash .

Just download the apk to pc and then copy to sdcard and then install using astro. When you download from market installation fails.Still you can't play flash.its just that galaxy 5 doesn't support flash.
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] neolode:
I don't know about performance comparisons, well except for quadrant scores witch are not the best yardstick, what I can tell you is that both the leaked froyo and by correspondence motofoca version might get a soft reboot once in a while witch you won't notice :).

As for updating via odin,as long as the firmware is ok and the odin version and ops files are compatible with the phone the worst that could happen is a failure to boot the os, in witch case just remove the batt to restart and reflash.

But be careful, ok, there was this guy who tried to flash a galaxy s firmware and failed miserably, to the point of needing to use the warranty.
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] John000:
What is advantage of motofaco other than battery fix
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] gokhandroid:
Can we make swype or slideIT keyboard as default keyboard? every time i write message, i must choose slideIT again and again... is there a solution for this?
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] John000:
Try this .

goto settings - language and keyboard and check slideIT keyboard. Then goto messaging and select input method as slide IT .
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] gokhandroid:
i know that. but when i write with slideIT and finish, it returns default android keyboard. (after clear memory or reboot the phone) what i want is making the slideIT keyboard default. I wanna use everytime slideIT keyboard, not select input method as slideIT always.

sorry for my english.
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] rozyid:
hello all

how enable JIT on Bat_fix 2.0.6...???

thanks
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] John000:
I think jit is enabled by default in froyo .
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] motafoca:
JIT is enabled by default(1)
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] John000:
Does installing bat.fix 2.0.6 voids the warranty. Will I get back the warranty after flashing back to the stock eclair rom from bat.fix 2.0.6.
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] hammerv2:
Thanks Motafooca

Hi Motafoca,

I wasn't sure how to get in cntact with you, but I just wanted to say a huge thanks for batfix 2.06!

I'm using it without ext2 and am finiding it fast, reliable and the battery goes forever.

Anyway. I think you did a great job.

Thank you very much.
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] John000:
Hey hammerv2

Can you tell me about how good is batfix. I really want to try it.

But I'm confused about warranty

Now battery lasts only 1 day on leaked froyo.
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] edmundasl:
Hallo. Im glad that someone like motafoca is modifyieng roms for our phones, but tell me please, why you need this on beta firmware? I can understand if these modes where based on official firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] alvis_do:
try to use Root Explorer go to data/system on your phone and delete file batterystats.bin, then fully discharge and recharge your phone for 2 - 3 times. It's help my phone last over 2 day with normal use on leek Froyo ^^".

I don't want a fix for GPS, Compass, languages etc.. Why? Because I wont need it...
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] anant kandpal:
Another workaround for apps on sd going missing frm screen is to open the froyo task manager->ram manager->ram mnagement->select both level 1 and level2->clear memory

The sad part is.. my compass is broken after froyo update...and still all apps cannot be moved to the sdcard

[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] hammerv2:
Hi John000,

from a "normal" user's perspective batfix is the same as the leaked froyo (it has a few extra bits and pieces) but the battery lasts forever. I think you void your warranty by flashing your phone, but it seems as if you have already flashed your phone so you have nothing to lose!

Do it.

then also it just fails:confused:

can anyone suggest what to do
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] relaxis:
@motafoco

great job on the new release - really impressed with the constant updates.

Just a few suggestions -

1. Zeam launcher is orphaned at the moment - launcherpro i find is by far the best.

2. An issue that bothers me is that the battery time is usually usurped by the phone searching for signal - mainly when searching for 3g and hsdpa networks. Must be something to do with inefficient code - could this be fixed?

3. I use a great program called green power to automatically switch off wifi and 3g except for mms reception while the screen is off. Could this be integrated into the system to conserve app run-time ram and battery?

GOOD NEWS!!

Hey guys! Am new here, but I bring you good news!! I recieved an email from Samsung regarding an OFFICIAL froyo update for the Europa (I5500)! They basically said that it has been released for O2 branded phones only at the moment but that means that anyone else should be very soon! Wish I could provide pictures for proof but I cant :(
