Thanks for reply. that means i can upgrade my phone with OTA updates even if it is rooted. I need not to unroot it before upgrading with OTA updates right?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] addicted2088:
No, you don't. The update will unroot your phone itself..

I5801 Froyo 'd

I was successfull in upgrading my I5801 (India) to I5800XXJPB for I5800 EUROPE.

Followed the same procedure as given in first page of this post.

But, It was stuck at samsung logo.

after leaving it for long enough time (3 mins) to boot, I double pressed home (OK) button which brought up my home screen.

Then factory reset is done and rebooted the phone by removing battery...

so far so good except a WiFi issue. When phone sleeps Wifi is getting disabled even though WiFi Sleep policy is set to Never. Trying to fix it...
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] kiekefreak:
thanx, I installed it ;)

But when I tested my gps, and it couldn't find sattelites :confused:

I used FasterFix to change the gps.conf...

My current server is europe. Do you have an idea?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] abhi0n0nakul:
you would e able to update....

but samsungdoes not provide ota(over the air ) updates....

its thru kies...
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] addicted2088:
Was gonna tell him the same thing, but then I thought that even the Kies updates are over the air.. :p

Problem with JPB

Hi

I've updated my phone in 2.2 but i've some problems : :(:(:(:(

1° I am forced to restart my phone if I already connect to Kies in the day

2° Communication, my phone hatch words.

3° My battery does not last more than 12h

4° The default software for sms crashes all the time. I am obliged to use SMS Handcent.

Have you the same problems ??
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] michup:
I have:

1. an issue with battery- it couldn't last more than 24 hours.

2. GPS doesn't work(but maybe it's my fault), I use GPSopt by octy

3. During the call I don't hear the other side for 1 sec - sometimes you just don't know what is someone talking about because of that. Conversation stops for 1 second every 5-10 seconds.

Upgrading problems

Hi everyone,

I have following your instruccions for upgrade my i5800 but

I have problems with Odin.

I launch the Odin software and set the options like this thread says

but my phone is not detected. No COM port mapping is selected

and the phone is connected to USB port.

The connection between PC a the phone is ok because I can

see in My PC and access to the folders of de SD card

Thanks and regards.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] addicted2088:
I think you didn't read the instructions properly. Are you trying to root the phone or upgrade to a new firmware? To upgrade, you need to turn off the phone and enter Download Mode.

Disconnect the phone from the computer. Enable USB Debugging in Settings>Applications>Development. Then turn off your phone. Now, to enter Download Mode, press and hold the Home (center) key, the Volume Down key, and the Power on key, all three together. After the phone turns on in Download Mode, connect it to the computer. Then start the ODIN Process.

[Galaxy 3 Android Development] prodced:
I have the same problem and it's very very boring
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] jfrade75:
I did,I puted the phone in Download Mode and then the Odin detected in serial.

After that, I've upgraded the phone to version I5800XXJPB, the messages in

the Odin aplication was ok like in the I5801_flash_tutorial shows.

The phone rebooted and apered the samsung logo but after that the phone

is hanged. I have tried with the I5800XXJPA and the I5800XXJP9 with the

same problem. All the times I can put the phone in Download mode but after

the upgrade process and the logo appers the phone hang.

What can I do now.

Thanks
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] precurse:
Did you factory reset the phone?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] kyrillos13:
JPB have lower battery backup and if you talking with someone every 3 secs the call is paused for 0.5sec..

WHY ?????????
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] vilnius:
GPS fix

I have read here a lot about GPS fix, but nobody tells about symptoms. What exactly is bad with that GPS????

If to open gpssetup2, there are a lot of unclear settings, does anybody know how it works and what theses setting mean if to change one or other?

According to post my settings look good: supl.google.com:7276

Why that URL should be set for GPS, like GPS receiver should get signal from satellites?

Anyway I had noticed issue with I5800XXJPA. After some period of time (several hours) of using phone inside buildings and when connect it to car's hands free device via bluetooth, GPS does not catch signal from any satellite. Only phone's reboot helps. Is that related with GPS issues written here???

I do not imagine how to catch what is exactly wrong, why does only phone's restart help to start working GPS again. But it is not the solution to reboot phone before every time you sit to drive.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] kyrillos13:
BECAUSE !!!!! (its beta)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] jfrade75:
I'm sorry precurse ,I forgot that when I upgraded to I5800XXJP9 and the phone tried to executed the update , the execution fails a then show me something like a recovering menu I selected an option that erase something in the phone I don't

know if it's an factory reset.

Do you have any idea about it's happen?

Can I solve the problem?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] jfrade75:
Hi precurse, at last my phone is alive!

I've update to I5800XWJH2 for I5800 EUROPE and oala!! the phone boot sane and alive.

Uffff I don't why the FROYO UPDATES crash in my phone like this way. Myyyy god

fellows be carefull with the updates.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] STaRMaN_Gr:
For me, problems in JP9:

- Wifi, after a while, doesn't work. I have to turn off phone and turn on again, to make it work.

- Screen is black after a end a call, the phone takes 4 - 5 seconds to turn on screen.

- Gps works after the fix published here , but sometimes not, solution is reboot phone.

[Galaxy 3 Android Development] PlayPlus:
I have 2 questions for those who are running FroYo.

1. JPA firmware seems stable and least problematic of the lot..is it still a beta release?

2. Is there any realisable performance difference between Eclair and FroYo..for example, while running Angry Birds??
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] addicted2088:
1. Yeah, it's still a beta release.

2. There are improvements in the phone's interface performance, plus the biggest advantage of Apps2SD. Don't know about Angry Birds, but there's a game Speedx, which ran very bad on Eclair, but runs perfect on Froyo.

after a week with JPB i am fed up. pathetic battery life. going back to JK1 . will wait for JPC.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] gigahurtzzz:
hmm... i just have a small doubt. they say we have to remove the boot.bin before update as it changes the logo from i5801 to i5800. but i forgot to do that. my phone originally came with i5801xxbjoh . will reinstalling make it i5801 again?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] vilnius:
Yes! Exactly. (Not sure about WiFi - for me works good, I have the same with GPS).

The worst thing is that after call you see black screen and can't switch off the line. You are not sure, you ended call or it still goes. I do not understand why was developed possibility to answer call with "home" button, but not developed to use "home" or "back" button to hang up the phone. :(
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] bioniclizard:
Well, I've been using JPB for a while and it's pretty stable, althought it gets really slow sometimes and the battery is pathetic. It lasts like 7h/8h...
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] pokosik:
so when we will get JPC?

Does anyone got a Froyo with russian localization?

my phone's info is:

Summary

Hi everyone,

I've just bought this phone for my daughter, and I wanted to upgrade it before give it to her. I myself have a HTC Desire so I'm used to root flash and so on.

But well after going through this topic things appeared no to be so easy than with HTC.

So I've got a few questions :

- What's difference between firmware and ROM ?

- I've understood Froyo isn't stable yet so I should stick to Eclair ? Which firmware is the best ?

- Flashing a new firmware will remove all the operator customization ? Is there a way to backup my firmware first ?

Thanks !
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] lordragon:
hi, what is the more stable firmware for i5800? I update to JPA and I have a problems with the calls

thanks
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Benjamin_L:
Why do you install beta firmwares when you want the most stable one. I don't get some people.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] tamacqua:
hi people,

I just wanted to tell about my experience with froyo JPB on the i5800, I tried it for 3 days, and I'm quite happy about the changes it brought to the phone. Better settings menu, faster memory scanning, faster menu, task manager, faster keyboard and applications on SDcard.

But there are still 3 major problems I had with it...

- Battery doesn't last long, like you said.

- GPS didn't work.

- When calling, every seconds the connection cuts for a fraction of a second, really disturbing when you miss words from what the other person says.

I now got back to Eclair JK1, it works fine, I do see the difference in speed...

I'll have to be patient ^^
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] addicted2088:
People aren't supposed to test any Froyo firmwares. These are all leaked releases, which is to say Samsung has not released them to the general public themselves.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] mobile9999:
Well, it do make sense for me, as i know that samsung engineers also need to enjoy their X'mas holiday. Give them a break, maybe the next release we have a more happy( less bug ) FW don't u think so ? ;)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Benjamin_L:
As I said, release before christmas, let people here find the bugs and the engineers relax, and after holiday they can fix the remaining bugs.

addicted2088: Come on, this is most certainly open beta testing. What better ways could there be for Samsung. Free testing without warranty.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] rex4u:
Absolutely right ;)

changing the wifi scan interval

hi guys did anyone find a way to change the wifi scan interval in this phone.

in phones like motorola droid there is a file named 'build.prop'. which can be used to edit the scan interval.i cant find the build.prop in this phone

what i want to do is to extend the wifi scan interval(to about 5 min) and add a manual scan widget,so that i can leave the wifi always on without much battery drain.

i read some where that the default scan interval in android is really short like 30s or so.

please help guys .

edit: found build.prop but still not able to do it( tried adding the code'wifi.supplicant_scan_interval = 120' as it was mentioned for droid) still doesnt work
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] addicted2088:
Yes yes, I know this is an unofficial way of letting people test it, so that even if they brick their phones, Samsung can't be held responsible. :p But still, not exactly a top priority for Samsung..
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] stubborn_d0nkey:
Dunno if anyone mentioned this before, but it seems that jpb is a port of Galaxy s's froyo, or at least a part of it. Go to touch.facebook.com and to the buttom, you'll see that it identifies ur phone as a galaxy s
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] addicted2088:
It's the same with JPA. And it's not surprising that Samsung are porting the Galaxy S firmware to Galaxy 3 since both the Galaxy S and Galaxy 3 are very similar in terms of software. Galaxy 3 is just a low end hardware version of Galaxy S.. Almost..

no risk no fun :D

I don't know if you can recover it but i try to answer your questions.

Odin doesn't backup your firmware!!

I don't think that u get your IMEI back if you flash to a firmware which is for your I5801 but i don't know.

Gingerbread? Even the official Froyo is not out yet. JP9 is beta. Samsung is still undecided on releasing Gingerbread for their flagship Galaxy S. I5800 will probably never get Gingerbread..
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] stubborn_d0nkey:
You do realize that the screen isnt turning black, that it was black during the call? It's due to the proximity.

Oh, and gingerbread for i5800? I wish. Very unlikely. England will win a world cup before that happens

I thought spain never could win an Eurocup and now has an Eurocup and a World Cup.

won't boot...

I tried to install froyo I5800XXJPB on my i5801 with stock firmware (Asian stock firmware, some 2.1 from mid-2010) using ODIN. After installing, however, (I don't really know if it was successful or not...)

I was presented with piles and piles of errors about crashing applications and was unable to do anything except click on a recurring error message, presumably caused by the code that creates the home menu.

I then read a bit and found that perhaps not enough of the data was overwritten by the update, and tried adding an older (probably not a good idea...) datafs.rfs file into the firmware tar, but that resulted in the update process freezing for over 20 mins on the datafs.rfs file. After this, I was unable to use Vol- + Home + Power to get to the firmware download mode, and also unable to even turn the phone on at all. Holding the power button and many combinations of Vol-/Vol+/Vol-+ and home/power yielded nothing; not even the logo showed up, nor did the capacitive touch buttons at the bottom of the device illuminate.

Btw, I have the HK version of the i5801.

Could anybody please help me?

Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] jackass888:
Thanks for summing it all up!

Installing I5800XXJPB went very smooth.

But everything else fails. Cant root with z4 or 1click. z4root just quits and crashes. 1click - install update.zip = acces denied/unable to or something. Octy-s gps fixes dont seem to work, takes 4 minutes to find gps.

And the most depressing... usb almost never works. With latest Kies and Win7. Kies mode = nothing happens, mass storage = "please insert drive". USB debug off.

Any ideas?

i know it could be dangerous 2 overclock but still just bumping it 2 700mhz would be cool......froyo has boosted performance in this phone but the hardware is capable of much, much more.....if we could fully use its power it should handle 3d games perfectly many other things......
