Information/ Help / Faqs / review for froyo

Like every1 with galaxy 5 , i had issues but it seemes to be solved after upgrading to froyo.

Stock information :

Device info : samsung galaxy 5 i5503 (india)

OS : android 2.1 ecliar

os details : i5503DDJG5

internal memory : 174 mb

Upgraded Information :

Device info : samsung galaxy 5 i5500L

OS : android 2.2 froyo

os details : i5500LUYJP2

internal memory : 173 mb.

Issues i had with eclair :

1. Apps cannot be installed to sdcard.

2. Unable to do a factory reset after 2nd restart after reinstalling, to clear data i had always had to hard reset the device.

3. Frequent automatic restarts.

4. Cannot go to recovery mode.

Issues solved with froyo :

1 . Apps can be installed to sdcard after rooting and using mod install location app (its very is to do trust me) .

2. can perform factory data reset.

3. No automatic restart till now.

4. May be now i could go to recovery mode, would test this post later.

Users say they have a battery drain with froyo but i dont have any issues till now and i guess those who are having issue should perform a hard reset or atleast a factory data reset .

Rooting froyo

i used the universal androot to root get this first from 1st post of this topic.

when i first used androot it didnt rooted, i got freaked and thought that users are saying true that its not getting rooted with androot with froyo, but then something striked me and i used advanced task killer to kill all process, then hit the root button, and magically its says its rooted.

it got rooted coz the process needed for rooting was available after killing processes.

How is Froyo :

Froyo will amazingly good with new features, gadgets , UI.

I love the new User Interface(UI), Icons are lil-bit changed, We get Portable hotspot, etc.

So what are you waiting go get froyo.

If any1 has any issues upgrading or rooting contact me !

Thanks for reading .

I am already at my 5th drain-to-full charge cycle, and I have tried this method. Unfortunately it does not work, battery drain is still fast. With average use, I only have 24% left with 7 hours of uptime.

I hope there would be Froyo version soon, preferrably an official one without bugs.

Thanks for the suggested solution, though. :)

And then.... Follow the bellow instructions , it might help

This steps might help who have his battery draining fast

Go to Settings --> Wireless & Networks --> Mobile networks

there is an option called (( Enable always-on )) , this feature/option I used to get it enabled and faded which is it can't be changed/clicked or whatever you call it

What I did , I removed my SIM Card and I put another service provider SIM Card then I switched on the phone and I found the option (( Enable always-on )) enabled but not faded , i removed the tick mark then I put back my main SIM Card , and the battery back to its stable

I been testing this for couple days ago , and im getting 40Hrs+ to 48Hrs without charging the phone and Wi-Fi in always enabled and using EDGE and i dont have data plan on my line

There are other ways you can do a factory reset:

1. Install android sdk, connect to pc, then

adb reboot recovery

2. Root device, get terminal emulator, then

su
reboot recovery

3. Settings app -> Privacy -> Factory data reset

Choose any of the above, not all.

Hi i have a I5500, which i upgraded to 2.2.

It's working just fine.

I wanted to know the advantages of rooting my phone.
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] weirskynet:
there is plenty of advantages such as being able to fully backup ur rom

but biggest one for me is to use "install manager for root users" this along with super user ability allows u to install and move any app to ur sd card so u ca free up that vital space needed

works also with apps that show as not movable from froyo settings menu

hope this helps in ur choice to root :P

i think there was problem with the sim card now i removed that and again did the process..hope it should work now...
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] nikhilsamre:
hey thank buddy...

the problem was my Indian Sim card was in there when i first did the upgrade. Which caused the hard reset to not work properly.

Now i removed the sim and did the same and it worked..

tun.ko needed for Samsung GT-I5500L froyo 2.2 2.6.32.9-perf

GT-I5500L

Android 2.2

Baseband Version: I5500LUYJP2

Kernel: 2.6.32.9-perf

Build number: FROYO.UYJP2

Hello folks,

I upgraded successfully my GT-I5503 from 2.1 to froyo GT-I5500L. Everything works like a charm.

So I need a tun.ko for this device and kernel.

I have downloaded many tun modules from this board, but I have message errors

insmod /system/lib/modules/tun.ko
insmod: init_module '/system/lib/modules/tun.ko' failed (Exec format error)

I linked the tun.ko file with the correct kernel version

just like recommended

vardyr.insocada.com/2010/06/24/tun-ko-for-sprint-hero-2-1-stock-kernel

ln -s /system/lib/modules/tun.ko /system/lib/modules/2.6.32.9-perf/tun.ko

but still comes the error message:

tun: version magic '2.6.32.9-perf preempt mod_unload ARMv7 ' should be '2.6.32.9-perf preempt mod_unload ARMv6 '

I assume, I need a tun.ko compiled with ARMv6, but I cannot find such a file in this board.

Can enybody help to compile or compile this for others?

Thanks a lot!

Sorry for my English!

I found something strange.

Before the update to 2.2, the CPU frequency would go from 248Mhz to 600Mhz.

Now on 2.2 it can go from 122Mhz to 600Mhz, but it stays on 600Mhz all the time.

I used this app: http://www.appbrain.com/app/android-system-info/com.electricsheep.asi

Maybe that's the cause of the shorter battey life?

I'll root my phone and use setCPU app.
