[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
unfortunately in Canada it has never worked out like that, all phone carriers are charging for the "feature"

even for land line they charge $5/mth

same for cell phones

it was on the news, in the recent International survey about cell phones Canada has the Most Expensive services, for the least feature, and the Worse Service world wide, and that is only for the voice part of it, the story is even worse on Data side of the service.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Daemos:
Actually when I lived in Canada my phone plan wasn't too bad...but TBH mobile phone service in Australia is much better.

However, although there are many upsides to Australia (including mobile phone service) there are plenty of downsides as well.

I will say though, reception with Rogers seemed to better for 3G service inside buildings than it is with Vodafone AU, although I'm getting much more bang for the buck here...even with the high AUD, mobile phone service is pretty much the only thing here that seems to be cheaper compared to Canada.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmanaudio:
I'm with Rogers and I get the following:

500 Min day.

Free after 6pm and weekends.

Incoming calls free.

Rogers to Rogers free.

2500 out going text and unlimited incoming.

Caller ID, 3 way calling, call forwarding, VM.

6 Gig's of Data with teathering.

All for $48 including tax and all. You telling me you getting a better deal with Vodafone AU? I doubt it!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
when i lived in the USA i got way better deals than what we got here in Canada

Caller ID + voice mail were standard features even for the least expensive package
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Daemos:
Yeah...much better.

Basically this is what I have

Unlimited national calling (mobiles, land lines, 1300, 1800, 13 etc) no prem numbers but includes 3G video calling (which the galaxy S has a front facing camera)

Unlimited international/national sms/mms

caller id

voicemail

Confrence calling (I'm not sure what the max is, but I've had more than 4 people on one call)

Call forwarding

3GB of data with tetheringe

$99 AUD a month....although the AUD is quite high right now. I use up quite a bit of min as this is my primary phone.

Not to mention at the time I got a free brand new unlocked iphone 3GS (almost a year ago) on a 2 year contract which I resold...for quite a bit. But if we subtract from my costs it's drops my actual spending to around $50 AUD/mo

Then I use skype to go (since I get unlimited national calling) for $30/yr and get unlimited north american calling :)

But all in all my bill comes out to be $99/mo + $2.5 = $101.5/mo for well unlimited calling to Australia and North America...pretty sweet IMO.

Hell if you don't need the international text you can go with optus or virgin mobile and get even better deals (less money, more stuff!)

Essentially this isn't even a 'retentions' plan which is what I was on in Canada, this is a plan any one can sign up for.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AER0:
How the hell did you get that?!

I was thinking of going with the Student plan (being a university student and all)

but after seeing that... wtf...

I txt more than I call so your described plan is just awesome for my needs.

Any idea how I could manage to get such a plan for that price ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
my guess, he got it grand fathered from previous promos that are no longer available

i'm on something similar with Fido, for 2 phones only paying $100 + change, tax, and usual crap fees
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ickyboo:
Damn and all this time I thought AU had one of the worst deals for mobile plans. I was thinking of migrating to Canada too.. Dannggg
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Daemos:
Why would you migrate to Canada?

Cons:

I mean if you are not in Sydney/Melbourne, for the most part Canada has better food, but the weather is worse, pay way is worse, taxes are higher, lifestyle is more work hard, play lesss mentality, health care system is far less efficient.

Pros to Canada:

Government is better, overall cost of living is cheaper, many things are cheaper, resturants are way better, huge push towards post secondary education (huge thing IMO), not nearly as many drunk people at 9 am on a tuesday (:p)

I moved from Canada to Australia, Although there are many Cons to Australia, I figure if you live in Melb/Syd then many of major cons are avoided.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greeced:
Sorry, forgot to add quotes, this is in response to rmanaudio's Rogers plan post.

I find this plan incredibly hard to believe.

Didn't Rogers/Bell just introduce the 6gb plans? Like a couple of months ago? Cheapest just for data is $30, which would mean the rest he would have to get for $10-12.

Maybe its true, but I have a great corporate plan with bell that rogers corporate said was impossible to match:

For $52.00 BEFORE tax, I get:

250 daytime minutes

6pm	- 8am weekdays free

Weekends free

Unlimited incoming minutes

Unlimited texting

Call display

Call Waiting

Call Forwarding

Conference Calling

Voicemail

Detailed Billing

6gb Data with tethering

($22.00 for the voice/text stuff, $30.00 for the data = $52.00+ tax)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewluecke:
I'd still say complain to your local consumer affairs board. If enough people complain, they might be required to make caller ID free (which it should be)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greeced:
This rarely works. If it does they'll just increase the cost of the plan to offset any loss a ruling would cause them.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lokhor:
You guys would hate nz. Vodafone nz has for 61.30 nzd a month 600 texts 250mb data and 60 anytime minutes. I'm on a 2degrees prepay plan with 1gb data for 20nzd a month, 1000 texts for 10 nzd a month and 44c a minute calling
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] compuse:
€35,- here

25,- for calling and payed services and I safe up what i'm not using unlimited as in true euro's

10,- for unlimited datatraffic

And got my i9000 for free with a 2 years contract.

Caller ID is standard since gsm is available in holland! :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dusante:
Ack! Man how the heck do I get a plan like that? I'm paying bell up the wazoo for a plan that barely touches that!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slc334:
You can't get a plan like that anymore. I'm on Rogers and pay ~$80 for way less than that.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
in USA and UK it's some what common to see good price plans at current market offerings.

but in Canada any great deal you read here are mostly from grandfathered accounts with a slapped on data plan, for which are no longer offered.

Most current active market price plans deals are rather horrible, usually more expensive than any grandfathered account deals.

people mentioning their great deals should also tell how long they have had that account for.

in my case i've been using that for the past 9 years, the deal is no longer offered anywhere

every now and then they constantly "harass" me to "try" new "features" but they do warn "blah blah blah...after switching to these new option,

you will not be able to go back to your previous plan

" ... no thank you... and they continue on and on...

why, well simply put it the same plan i'm using right now, at todays rate my bill will be around $200+ but i'm only paying $100 for 2 phones!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AER0:
Tried talking to a Rogers rep and got the following:

400 Minutes

Unlimited evenings and weekends (after 6PM)

Unlimited Extreme Texting

1GB of Data

ETC. (Call display, forwarding, voicemail, etc.)

$53 before tax :confused:

Not sure if that's an ok deal or not.

The only thing I cared about was Unlimited Texting and at least a Gig of Data.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aridoasis:
*begin rant*

I was, in no better words, shocked when I came to Canada and found out how the postpaid plans are.

I'm from the Philippines and there we got this:

free incoming calls, incoming sms, caller id, call waiting, call forwarding, call conference for both prepaid and postpaid

unlimited calls and sms good one day for as low as 25 Php (less than 50¢), unlimited browsing for 10 Php per 30 mins (less than 25¢) for prepaid

unlimited calls and sms for a month for 350 Php ( less than $9) and unlimited data for 1200 Php (just about $30) for postpaid

and no long distance charges

and a prepaid sim will cost you an average of 50 Php, no activation necessary and it already has credit!

so yeah, it just blew my mind a to how expensive the plans are here and how seemingly backwards it is.

*end of rant*

Not quite sure you can get on it, it's the Region of Yorks corporate plan. I think teachers get the same plan too, but I can't verify that as I am not a teacher. But if you work in the public sector it should be no problem.

Keep in mind though, the corporate plan was only the $22.00 part of it, I got the $30.00 6gb data during the promotion bell had that I believe ended on sept 30th

Possible fix for bad internal SDCARD?

Would this restore the internal SDCARD at the same time? I'm currently using my phone without the internal 16G SD because it stoped working after trying a Lagfix. Since there are no phones left in any Bell store, I am using it as is without the internal SD. Would this by any chance fix this sort of problem? :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
No, this is NOT a fix for the Internal SD problem, it just puts you back to stock JH2 and future Froyo 2.2 for the I9000M
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TriC_101:
This will not work with the latest version of kies.. so you will have to downgrade kies to a version before they disabled test mode.

Hi

Thanks for this -

I moved over from Iphone and am wondering is there a way to restore/recover the Samsung Galaxy if in case you screw up a future update (i..e Froyo 2.2). From Iphone, you put it in recovery mode and plug it into Itunes and do a restore. Is there some similar functionality in Android through Kies or otherwise? i.e. - a foolproof way to recover/restore if you screw up an upgrade?

cheers

[Galaxy S I9000 General] bossman74:
@AllGamer

I had updated through ODIN to JH2 since Kies wouldn't detect a new update, will Kies recognize my phone as "stock" and allow me to update to the new firmware once it's released for the I9000M?

Kies detects my phone like this :

PDA: JH2

PHONE: JH2

CSC: JH2

Or should I just install a older version of Kies and follow your instructions in the 1st post ?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lgkahn:
not in latest fring they broke it agian.. it works fine in previous version.. let my know if you cannot find it...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lgkahn:

[Galaxy S I9000 General] xxgg:
It did not work for me.

Here is what I did and what happened.

I had the latest version of Kies, so I uninstalled and installed the previous version.

1. Launch Kies

2, Plugged in my Bell i9000m

3, Selected Samsung Kies USB mode from the phone

4, Kies program detected my phone.

5, I merged the registry file you provided

5, Clicked Firmware Upgrade

6, List of Devices Requireing Firmware Upgrade shows Current Version: PDA:JPK/Phone:JPK. This device's version cannot be updated.

7, Crlt+Alt+U+P (Testing Mode On)

That is it, I guess something went wrong somewhere ?

Registry failed to trick the software?

I am on Windows 7 64bit, current firmware is JPK root/lagfix.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] xxgg:
I decided to uninstall again, and reinstall and did the exact same procedure again.

Still nothing, same result.

I said, what the hey~ uninstalled Kies, reinstalled, did my steps again,

this time it worked.

Only thing I did different this time was that, once I clicked Firmware Upgrade and before it detected what firmware version I had,,, I quickly did the key combo to turn on Testing Mode. Maybe that was the key?

I don't know but it is working now.

Now it is downloading JH2 firmware, let see if it will upgrade it properly and/or run properly... crossing fingers.

Update: JH2 is up and running. Cool. I just had to input Rogers Wireless APN.

Tried rebooting, every kind of wipe I could find, airplane mode, inputting APN manually, using Kies to install latest OS.... and nothing

Problem started (I believe) after using Odin to try to return my unit to stock :rolleyes:

Problem might be that I didn't have the proper files for that? I used what I believe are central Canada Bell files, whereas I'm east coast Canada (the time was, and is, still off by an hour despite entering the correct time zone and everything into the phone)

I've been researching a lot to find out how to disable HTC Messaging & get the older WM style back with working MMS. During this, I've found that it's kind of difficult to find a good version of Arcsoft MMS Composer & getting it all set up & stuff since there are a lot of different threads that are vastly scattered.

After reading through numerous threads & messing with my HD2 & TP2, I've put together a few CABs to get stuff working. I'm making this thread to finally put it all together in 1 post so people don't have to go through 2823497234987 different threads to find the necessary stuff like I did.

Here is what each file does:

the Arcsoft client pulled from the TMOUS TP2

Set your MMS profile to the TMOUS HD2

Automatically put in the TMOUS MMS settings (only use on HD2, not TP2)

Set your MMS profile to the EU HD2

Set your MMS profile to the Telstra HD2

file to disable HTC Messaging provided by zenkinz that's been slightly modified**

Notes:

**Modified to add SMS shortcut to Start Menu that goes to MS Inbox & 2 registry edits so that if you click a new SMS notification in the notification manager it'll go to the MS Inbox as well.

Send limit will be set at 1MB

SMS counter gets out of wack sometimes. Someone will have to ask zenkinz to update that. I just get it to reset by resetting Sense. In fact, it seems to always mess up.

The Messages tab seems to not update with new messages unless you go to a different tab & then back to it.

If you'd like an easy CAB for your specific MMS settings, please post the data located in HKLM\Software\Jataayu\MMS\Profiles\000 & I'll make one. Let me know what carrier you're on as well.

If there is another version of the HD2 besides the T8585 (EU), T9193 (Telstra), & Leo 1.5 (TMOUS) please let me know so I can make a CAB for that as well. That data would be located at HKLM\Software\Jataayu\MMS\SP
