Yes I have! I have a Belgian Mobistar (Orange) Branded i5801. It worked perfectly. I was a bit worried that something had gone wrong though, since I had to wait quite long before the phone would start. But no IMEI loss or MAC change, actually.

I did notice terrible lag after rooting the phone. This got better as I installed busybox (through Titanium BU) and restarted the phone.

I seemed to have the same problem. What I did was switch off the phone, restart it in recovery mode (press home+ both volumes somewhere in the middle when you switch on the phone). Then I wiped cache and restored factory settings. After that I rebooted the phone, waited a little more on that flashing samsung logo and everything was fine. It does take a while as it seems...

Hope this helps!

I have a question about using headset while calling.

If you use headset without speaker, ie like stock headset, can't the receiver hear you? I notice that IPHONE works even with earphones without speaker.

Is there a way to use phone's speaker and earphones? Or somehow talk using earphones?

I don't like taking my earphones off to answer a call while listening to music, and having to plug the earphones again.

Any ideas would be great!

How can i do a hard reset with froyo??? thanks

@Rex

I've never experienced any battery problems with any FWs on samfirmware. I'm beginning to believe that this may be a problem with specific hardware revisions, and not software revisions.

hi, any suggestion for gpsfix of this jpa firmware?

the only way is rooting (with superoneclick, z4root and others didn't seem to work) and then use fasterfix ?

thanks

ps: jpa is a good fw in my opinion
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Cygnuss:
i used one click root 1.5.5 but busybox and fasterfix do not work though setcpu does weird... i am using JP9

I've downloaded the superuser ap, but I can't get any apps in the allowed apps field :(

So in terminal mode, I keep on getting (after typing :

$ SU

SU: not found

$

So it seems I need to do something more to become SU on this baby.. :(

Anybody any idea?

How do I get terminal emulator into SU mode???

The standard headset has a microphone built in...
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] toondewachter:
Press home + both volume keys (in the middle of them) when you switch on the phone: that's recovery mode. There you can select restore factory defaults.

in dialer type *#*#3214789650#*#* then settings, parameter settings, SSL --> disable and change to google server. Works like a charm for me!

Hey again. The camera also seems to have a massive bug! Both on JP8 and on JPA, after I open the camera and wait for it to focus, as the photo's being taken, it vibrates once, then twice and says "Camera failed".

Don't know if that's just me. I also don't see an option to disable geotagging. On JP8 it would fail sometimes and work others. On JPA I only tried once and it failed.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] b888ke:
worked, after rooten the galaxy and running sup.su :)

thanx
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] panaliu7:
Yes, but I don't use the standard headset, so I guess it wouldn't work without the microphone ...
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Pinak.ahuja:
Yeah that bug has been there since jp8 not fixed till jpa btw you could use third party camera apps till then.

Well, in fact, GPS system doesn't require any data to be sent from the device to satellites. Satellites simply send their own signal that GPS devices can use (it's a "public" signal, there are other "private" ones).

That's why a "pure" GPS chip costs, maybe 10$ for a good one ? I saw lower prices. When you buy a GPS device, you don't pay for GPS signal (which is free), you pay for the hardware (lowest part) and for the maps & software (biggest part, because it costs a lot to make them).

When performing a "cold start", normal GPS technology requires data to be downloaded from satellites (they send it with public GPS signal), it may take some time. That's where the aGPS (assisted-GPS) technology helps ; it enables downloading this data through Internet (much faster) and provides a fast cold fix. This technology is often used on smartphones.

I wonder how softwares manage it, though. I saw a lot of people saying that most aGPS devices need an Internet connection for at least the start (except some devices like the Nexus One which have a sort of special aGPS chip), even if I couldn't check it.

I'd like that Internet would only improve performances without being a need, this would be nice for people without a data plan. However, even if 3G is needed only at the startup, it'd be ok for me. The worst would be 3G being needed during the whole GPS use, because I'd like to buy a navigation app for my phone (with preloaded maps of Europe) to travel with it, but in France (and probably elsewhere), you may lose 3G when driving with highways. And battery performance (and use of data plan) would be better without 3G use. This 3G use would be pointless anyways, because once you downloaded those "additional" GPS data, they're still valid for many hours. But software may require 3G, like it converts 4+ SMS to MMS without asking the user what to do...

I'll do tries when I'll have some time. Got busy with my studies atm. :)

What is the internal memory difference between i5800 and i5801?

I have i5800, and internal memory of 194 mb. Am I seeing something wrong?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] divinesahil:
my poin out here to focus is that when we do not have the service provider at som places y cant we use gps there though we have inbuilt gps why cant the maps be downloaded from the satellite. i am an electronics engg. i know the difference bout the gps and the agps, but all i wanted my gps to work even if there is no network.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] braveBuddy:
Your point is correct but i am afraid that does our devices are capable of directly receiving from satellites.

Correct me if i am wrong.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] rex4u:
JPA also has wake up bug. It needs 2-3 key presses for device to wake up.

Expect JPB soon.

Yes, I Swyped it from my Galaxy 3
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] pp63.1:
Sorry, but obviously all your questions about using your i5800 and its aGPS with no 3G network leads to a rather stupid question : why don't you buy a REAL gps device with a REAL gps chip (which may work better behind new wind-screens) ? Since aGPS has never been designed (and won't be updated) for downloading map data...

Tomtom gps are not expensive, have country or continent maps, and the fix is immediate ;-)

[Galaxy 3 Android Development] braveBuddy:
i know this but still hope that we could get 2.3 on our device.......

Samsung will never release 2.3 for our device. They are still to officially release 2.2.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] divinesahil:
Even i know bout that bro buying a gps was not the issue ever. And even I got sound knowleadge of the limitation of hardware. But it is a software call as mention before there are software that download the entire map and i was just searching that.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] divinesahil:
Bro they are still stuck with froyo and still the roms are buggy hope they launch fix rom before xmas.i switched to jp9 then jpa but tje bugs got m the proximity senser sucks they need to write proper code for it as it somtime works and sumtym dsnt but i never had issues upgrading either of firmware. Just got my 5801bootloader yo 5800:-{ but froyo is quick and smooth like it.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] rex4u:
Hi Sahil,

I agree with you on GPS thing.

Regarding bugs in Froyo, they come due to tweaking of OS by manufacturers like Samsung, HTC, etc. Samsung removes Default launcher and adds TouchWiz(copy of iPhone, shame Sammy), puts restrictions in Messaging, new

keyboards, etc. They make so many changes to the default OS that it tends to bring bugs and slowness compared to original, many a times. I really want to test how Stock Android looks and runs like ;)

Have you been able to restore back I5801 bootloader ? If yes, would you mind sharing ?

Thanks...........
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] braveBuddy:
Agreed why they need so many customization when something is good in itself.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] addicted2088:
You should try downloading NDrive or Sygic. They download the entire map on the phone. And they use Mapmyindia maps, which are pretty detailed.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Pastorelli:
There must be some camera bug.

After making a few photo's it vibrates once then twice then says camera failed. I switched from jp8 to jpa and also and have the same issue you discribed. I had kiss music player installed, now uninstalled. After the camera failed message, it started automatically playing tunes, really annoying.

I don't have any taskmanager installed. It even happened after i killed the music player app. I use the program monitor widget to kill active aplications, clear memory level 2 also didn't help. Phone is not rooted.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] addicted2088:
Customizations are done to make the experience more user friendly and more pleasing to the eye, although some of the customizations often don't work the way they are intended to..

I'm using Launcher Pro. It's much better than TouchWiz 3.0, but I do miss the big and colorful icons of TouchWiz in LauncherPro. That is one customization I liked in TouchWiz.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] addicted2088:
This Music Player bug happened in my phone too. I plugged in my audio system's cable into my phone to listen to some music, and the Music Player started playing automatically. At first I thought it was a new feature to automatically start playing music when a cable is inserted, but it was actually a bug. :P

Camera bug doesn't seem to be troubling my phone. Took 20 photos to check, but didn't force close.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] braveBuddy:
I did faced the camera issue it takes few pics and then suddenly goes for failed.

Also when listening to Radio it sometimes looses reception and comes back again.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] rex4u:
+1 and moreover it looks very elegant compared to any launcher available. If Samsung could make a few changes in it I will never use any other one :)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] braveBuddy:
Ahh have to say TW is okay but why they delay our froyo release just to include there Launcher etc cant there launcher be just like another app install and done.

Well but then its not launcher thats causing issues its the drivers they need to fix and apps to work with Froyo. Take a little bit more time but give us best of Froyo.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] divinesahil:
hey rex whats up man. and yes i almost got it done but been busy for few days and will be till January got my mtech exams ;-) initially when i started i got the samsung boot i.e 2nd boot changed to my custom boot and phone booted but when i tried with 5801 boot the phone didn't booted so flashed it back with original one, another things holding me back is Infinitesimal knowledge bout abd and the samsung warranty cas this phones gifted dont wana screw up totally. but let my exams get over will then play with nand.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] addicted2088:
Main reasons I use Launcher Pro are that it allows more stuff to fit on the homescreen vertically, it allows removing the text from the under the icons on the homescreen, and the vertical scrolling available in the Applications list. It's also much smoother than TouchWiz.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] rex4u:
Good Luck !

Wish you ALL THE VERY BEST for your exams Sahil !!! :)

problems

hey guys i've got i5800L.

Just flashed it with JPA version. and after reebooting it won't turn on.

First Samsung animated logo appered, afterwards Samsung Still Image Kept on screen.

Then i re-flashed once again. this time after reboot and animated samsung logo the screen keeps lid but black.

Any thoughts what i shall do?

First time i flashed the phone was connected all the time. ON second one when ODIN msg "close the serial connection" appeared i've disconected the phone.

Please help!
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] precurse:
Where are you located? I also have the 5800L..

I put on JP9 on mine, and haven't had very many issues.

You made sure to factory reset before and after flashing right?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] toondewachter:
Your first time, I think, everything went pretty fine. It takes quite a while to install the firmware apparantly. What I did after 5 to 10 minutes was to reboot the phone into recovery mode and wiped cache + restored factory settings, then rebooted again. Then after a first very slow reboot everything turned out fine.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] rex4u:
Hi dimitex,

Try these steps :

1. Enter recovery mode (press middle volume button+Home+Power)

2. Wipe data and cache

3. Reboot system or else take out battery and re-insert it.

4. Reflash and don't disconnect till ODIN says PASS.

DO THESE STEPS AT YOUR OWN RISK.

I have not tested this method myself so can't guarantee anything.

Good Luck !
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] toondewachter:
What I also noticed in JPA is that I can't find all of the apps in the market I used to find using Eclair... Is this the same for you people?

As a guitar player I used Jambox, which isn't found in the market anymore and the new google book reader isn't found either.

I also noticed the bugs you all were referring to. Probably there will be a new version in a few days or weeks... hope the final version will arrive soon.

BTW does anyone know a good way to backup your contacts in that way that facebook accounts, google accounts and phone numbers don't have to be linked anymore afterwards? How do you backup your text messages?

i flashed to xxjpa...

everything went great...

changes i noticed from xxjp9:

1. faster....

2. wifi works great uptill now(touchwood).. in jp9 wifi sucked..

3. xvid ,avi files like jp9 play but there is little/negligible interval bw the sound and action ...

4. dialer ,contacts, gallery everything loads faster...

5. power on is definately faster

Which wifi problems did you have with JP9?

Would wifi randomly say "failed" for you?

Does anyone know when AMERICA firmware with Android 2.2 FROYO is supposed to come?

(^-^)/
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] addicted2088:
No one knows when even the Europe version will come out. But it'll surely come for Europe first, then for other regions. So the end of the month is a pretty good guess, or even January.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] toondewachter:
No defenitely not...

If I were you I would try to reflash it.

Follow the steps on the first post of this thread. Check the protect, choose one package and don't forget the OPS file. Then wait for the blue PASS box in odin and wipe cache and reset facory settings in the recovery menu.

Keep us informed!

How to flash with gingerbread keyboard zip

Hi,

How do you flashed with gingerbread keyboard zip to galaxy 3,

I tried to go to recovery mode and apply update.zip(renaming keyboard file to update.zip) but didn't work..
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] abhi0n0nakul:

and wont connect at all/ or after dozens of try.......
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Pinak.ahuja:
Unzip the file, from system/lib copy the file libjni_latinime.so to your phone in system/lib using root explorer. Then instal the apk in the zip file. After that open your phone's data/app folder using root explorer look for com.android.inputmethod.latin-1.apk and move it to /system/app .reboot your phone go to settings locale and text and enable android keyboard.

Enjoy btw swype is way better.

You should remove the cable when odin displays the msg rebooting and your phone is rebooted and displays "GT I5800".

i stay stuck at the Samsung logo.

:(
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Fakirr1:
For everyone, who want to flash with JPA:

In my case, the only working metod : in ODIN DON'T protect ops file.

When I protected, then my phone lagged a lot, most of the times didn't start, stuck with the samsung logo, sometimes the logo moved upper on the screen, sometimes was only black screen.

In my phone's case: wipe data cache, after that: factory reset. Then flash with ODIN 4.25( with older ones it not worked for me).After flash: wipe data cache and factory reset.

The memocard and the simcard was taken out before the process.

One more thing: I clear the memocard (save the data's and MP3 to my computer), formatted the card, and after flashing and the factory reset things, I put inside the phone.

Then rooted the phone with superoneclick( it worked only 2nd or 3rd time.For first time, it was looping). I don't use busybox at my phone. I use only ASTRO fm; Ndrive; Live wallpapers and my favorite solitare :)

With JPA: the wifi is much better, then withJP9.Now it is stable.At JP9 sometimes it sad: faile, restarting wifi.

GPS: I live in Hungary. At my home, the first start was horrible. The first start was 10 or 15 min !!!. But for 2nd and 3rd time: it started about 2 or 3 sec!!!.

At my work, I can test GPS( I working with electronic testers ). With my old Fujitsu Siemens T830(sirfstarIIIchip) I find 10 satellite.At the same position, with I5800 it was 8. The starting time was allmost the same.So the gps in my phone is not so bad afterall :)

Battery: In my work, I use WIFI and GPS.I started with full battery at morning.The phone was take down from the charger at 8 AM yesterday.I looked the battery at 1aM in this morning: the phone sad: 76% charged. In that time: I heard some music (about 2 hr), in my work, I used the phone about 1 hour speek, I used the GPS and the WIFI.

So I think that is not bad :)

Sorry for my bad english :)

OPS files are for some sort phone profile or hardware info files required in our case for flashing. Now we have GT I5801 and GT I5800, the OPS files we are currently using is of I5800 although these 2 phones are identical but there might be some difference.

Thats why i guess its gets stuck some where while flashing 5800 firmware to 5801.

Sorry dont have much detailed info but will surely post as soon as i get.

Hi guys,

Regarding keyboard, no I could not try it :(

Update.zip did not work and I did not want to root my phone as RATC exploit is creating problems.

People having problems with flashing PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE hard reset your devices before flashing as it avoids conflicts during flashing.

Those who are stuck at Samsung logo plz use recovery mode and clear data and cache. Reflash K1 or any other Eclair version. Then again hard reset and flash JPA.

Good luck !
