I use the froyo rom and im having problems with it. One of them is that i'm losing icons. Homescreen AND 'list-with-all-apps' (dont know the correct term). The apps are still there, just no icon to start them. I did hard-reset after the flash.

Also since today i dont have internet connection thru 3G anymore. Its just totally greyed out and im not able to enable/disable it.

Anyone have any ideas/solutions.

ps. rebooting doesnt help.

Updating from 2.1 to 2.2

Hey guys, me new to android, just recently brought a i5503/Galaxy 5

I downloaded the odin and ops stuff, followed by the froyo package.

followed as per the instructions, went to the downloading menu, ODIN detected my phone, and i pressed the start.

But there was no progess in the process.

I waited for around 20 mins

Please suggest Guys,

Thanks :)

hey...did u rooted the phone??

[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] zimzoid:
Hi, I think there are area specific settings that are wiped when the new ROM is applied, as for the 3g settings the same thing happened to me and i had to re-enter the apn settings and 3g was restored, found them by doing a Google search in my area.
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] sinilill:
You can get APN settings from your service provider, call them or look it up at their homepage.
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] schlemiel:
Great guys, i managed to enter the APN info again.

Weird thing is tho that after i flashed/reset the phone everything was working just fine. For some reason the APN was wiped.

Same for the missing icons. I installed all the app AFTER the flash/reset and they worked fine for 2 days, then they started to disappear.

Could it be an SD-card issue?

Thx all
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] snkmad:
Not rooted yet. Gonna do it later, and report back.
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] schlemiel:
@snkmad

rooting is very easy. just download 'universal androot' from this threat, install it and root it. its just 1 click...
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] desigabri:
why need the hard reset?

hi, I upgraded to froyo 2.2 and my phone seems to work well like a charm. May be I'll have problems but until now it worked fine. More then this I have all previus software installed and configured on froyo 2.2 without the need to reinstalling all softwares

And I would like to know if anyone knows how to switch to the ITALIAN version. I have 4 languages only but not italian :).
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] weirskynet:
The missing icons can be solved by installing a different home screen such as launcher pro

the stock one doesn't like the apps installed on sd card that much but i switched to launcher pro and it works a treat and well better than the stock one

doing this should solve the missing icon issue

:P
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] schlemiel:
Thanks for the reply. I will try it.

Did the icons also disappear from the 'place where all the apps are' (the 4 squares logo between phone and contacts) ?

EDIT: installed launcherpro and works great.. the icons from 'that place' are back! thanks alot!

EDIT2: APP DRAWER was the name i was looking for, finally!! :-)

I just flashed my i5503 with the I5500LUYJP2 (Android 2.2 - Froyo) firmware using odin. I was holding my breath till the end figuratively. What I had trouble was making a backup of the stock ROM. I tried many key combinations but the device wont boot into recovery mode. I haven't tried recovery mode after the update.

I also tried anreboot and rom manager with no luck. Pressing volume up and down with power button loops the first splash screens several times and the nothing happens until I let go of the keys. When I let go of the keys the OS loads normally.
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] schlemiel:
@desigabri

there is no Italian version yet, only the latin one...
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] schlemiel:
@andho

there is no need to make a backup of the stock ROM, you can always download it from samfirmware.com in case you might need it again some day.

Google Account Problem and Slow Internet Connection

Hi everybody,

I have just flashed my 5503 to froyo today. AT first it gave an error all the time about a kind of text process. Because of the old language selection i guess. After hard reset, its solved.

I didnt have internet connection at first but i set the APN settings and now i can connect the internet.

The problem is, I cant add a google account. It says, "Can't establish a reliable data connection to the server."

Another problem is my internet connection is slower than before. It is really very slow then it used to be. I didnt make a speed test but planning to do.

I will appreciate any kind of help about both google and internet connection speed problem.

Thank you all.
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] schlemiel:
@kingofthecats83

maybe the 2 problems have the same origin, your bad connection.

are the APN settings ok? or did you maybe put in settings for wap connection or smth

[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] desigabri:
is the i5500 so ungry?

Please, about i5500, can anyone confirm the low endurance of the battery?

My i5500 is very ungry: at this moment for example I've 20% of the battery capacity and it is unplugged from 14h only. Starting from a 97% of the max charge, the percentage of the battery utilizations are:

cell standby 47%

phone idle 42%

wi-fi 5%

display 4%

(the total is not equal to 100% I think for calculation errors)

This should means that

cell standy consumed 47% of 77% (97%-20%) = 36,2% of the battery level

phone idle consumed 42% of 77% = 32,3% of the battery level

wi-fi consumed 5% of 77% = 3,9% of the battery level

display consumed 4% of 77% = 3,1% of the battery level

I tried don't using the i5500 waiting for the discargement and it lived 18h

(next to the full standby 18h only?!!!)

The system says to me that the battery is good

I haven't seen anybody bottering about this trouble, so is it possible that these are the normal endurance of the battery carge?

[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] zirkwander:
Some battery tips:

-use only 2G

-turn off bluetooth and wifi when not in use

-put the brightness level to 60-70%

-use DARK wallpaper

-set the timeout to 30secs to 1minute

-turn off Background Data under Accounts and Sync

right now,my battery level is still 90% and it has been ON for 60hrs already although I barely used it for calls, occasional text messaging, often browsing the net via wifi/3G.

[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] zirkwander:
Then why buy the thing in the first place?

Of course it performs below par compared to a Desire. It's cheap, it's doesn't have all the things we want from an Android phone, the very reason why it was intended for the masses as it's a unit made to introduce users to Android without costing them a kidney.

Don't expect too much from it.
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] desigabri:
I was speaking about a i5500 without any mod or new software on it, without any application you can see opened in the task manager, with the percentages I wrote: so only stand-by, idle, and 5% of display and 5% of wifi... of the battery use. Compared to you I only lacked setting 2G... but I've brightness setted to the minimum level.
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] zirkwander:
What task manager are you using? 'coz in my unit, I don't have a built-in task manager, that's why I downloaded from the Market Advanced Task Killer. Maybe you should try that.

Google Account Problem and Slow Internet Connection

Hi everybody,

schlemiel,

My internet connection speed gone back to normal speed somehow.. I deleted APN settings and set again several times, and now its fine.

However, google account problem hasn't been solved. I searched google and found out that some people come accross with this problem several times with different phones, like Galaxy S. Solutions are, trying to add google account through WiFi connection, or trying to add a youtube account on youtube application (the youtube account should be linked with the google account that you want to add) and although this process will give an error, they say that you can find out your google account is added automatically. I mean after you get the error, you go and check your google accounts on the phone and find out it is added. I know it sounds weird. I tried the second option since I dont have a WiFi connection right now, but it was unseccessful. I will try Wifi option today.

Thank you schlemiel, and everybody of course.

battery drainage

For me, after updating to the custom Froyo build available in this thread, my battery drains overnight and was about 18% remaining.

So I drained my battery all together and charged it to 100% percent and then used it for 9 hours and the battery drained on upto 86%. Then before going to bed I set up the alarms and when I woke up the battery has drained to 20%. Then I snoozed:D and when I woke up again the phone was dead.

So I think it is safe to say in this situation that the alarm clock is causing the drainage as it was on the previous time also.

Just for any one else who might need this info.

Battery Issue Resolved.

Hey guys with Phones of model I5503. I had previously upgraded to 2.2 but had a battery issue. So I degraded to 2.1 again.

But now I have found the solution for Battery Drain Problem. Try these steps and see if it works.

1. Before flashing your phone remove your SIM card and SD card (Memory Card) from your phone.

2. Flash your phone

3. Do a Hard Reset to your phone as per the 1st Post in this Forum

4. After the Hard Reset. Insert your SIM and SD card.

Try all and see if it works.

I am from India.

just re-flash ur phone. go to the 1st page of this thread and just follow the instruction on how to flash it. even if it's brick, u can still press & hold the following: volume down, center button, power button... until the android logo, holding a shovel appears. that's the downloading mode. then hook it up to ur usb cable. just follow the instructions in the 1st page.

so.. did it fix the battery issues on ur phone?? how many days before it drains out and charge it??
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] jasrij:
you can try this method. I did this everytime.

after every reboot, wait until your SD is connected

go to task manager(long hold home)

select RAM manager, select level 2 and clear memory.

exit

after a while u'll get back all your shortcuts but it won't be organize.

hope this help.

Google Account Problem and Slow Internet Connection

Hi everybody,

I couldnt resolve my problem with google account.. I couldn't add a google account and finally flashed my phone onece more and hard reset it. After this I made APN connections again and i can connect to internet..

However, when I tried to add a google account again, i was unseccessful once more.. Then I tried to connect internet through a WiFi network and I managed to add my google account to phone.. I entered my gmail, I entered market and downloaded applications. However, although I have added my google account, when I tried to use 3G to enter my Gmail or Market. I can't reach Youtube either..

Apparently there is something avoiding me to reach google services over my phone 3G. Through Wi-Fİ it's ok but when it comes to 3G i cant.

Now I think about the possible reasons. This firmware is for USA and I live in Turkey. Is this might be the problem?? And if it is so how can i fix it?

I will be very grateful for any kind of ideas.

Thank you everybody.
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] snkmad:
