Wots d use of installing JPA when there's no Apps Market i the ROM. Just installed it and nor google market app came with the ROM.

There is no way you were getting 14 linpack in JM9. Except if you had SetCPU to 2000KHz.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ascottuk:
you are completely correct, iv just checked what i wrote down last night, ignore the JM9

this was JPK

it was late, and i had drank an extensive amount of Stella

[Galaxy S I9000 General] milsjg:
Sitting in my room (it has windows to the east) and looking at my GPS (albeit the GPS has NO free line of sight to the sky). It is wandering a little bit but max 4-5 meters normally staying still on the spot. The 4-5 meters has to be the satellites and maybe weather (snowstorm). Even if I never have had some serious problems with my GPS this one must be a "fix". You cant ask for more and I am pretty sure that it is equal or better to any phone on the market.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] darkoroje:
The problem with GPS is not the initial lock but keeping lock and maintaing accuracy while running or driving. This has been explained many times on this and other forums
[Galaxy S I9000 General] andrewluecke:
Some people seem to have tested it though, and reports have been good, even with mytracks the accuracy is apparently fine..

But I haven't tested it myself yet :(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hinderbrus:
I tested gps today while driving to work and its totally unusable...

It locked in like 1 min and couldn't keep the lock for more than 500 meters. My position jumped around the nearby streets like mad, the speed was inacurate aswell. I am slowly loosing my hopes that there will be a serious fix for our gps...

And i am worried how my carrier will deal with the phone when i send it back for repairs ( need to check the costumer law abit :) )
[Galaxy S I9000 General] degry:
Hi, I've tried GPS on I9000XXJPM. That version still has some GPS limitations. The version seems better than 1 or 2 months ago (the position is more exact) but it makes long time to converge. It seems Samsung has added a kind of position smoothing/averaging (~30 sec time constant).

So, I would conclude that I9000 is still okay for GPS driving but not the best one (I drive often with it; GPS Navigation works fine but finds the wrong street 5% of the time in average, mostly in cities or crossroads). After some benchmark with other Samsung and HTC phones, I can say that I9000 is definitely not the best one.

Some more detailed info about my benchmark:

1- I camp to a certain location and observe that my Galaxy S Google Maps app finds my location with +/- 5m within ~20-30 sec (with the help of the GSM triangulation so-called A-GPS).

2- I move 20 meters away (it takes 10 sec to walk).

3- Every 5 seconds I see the blue arrow slowly moving in the direction I am going to, with a delay of ~10-15 seconds.

4- After 60 seconds my Galaxy S has found my new location with +/- 5 m precision.

5- When I move back to the original position, the same delay/smoothing towards the original position is observed; it takes again 60 seconds.

My two benchmark phones (HTC, other Samsung) don't show that smoothing effect. Every 5 seconds (10 seconds sometimes) my current position is updated correctly (still with +/- 5 m precision).

I'm starting to believe that the problem is a hardware design problem (maybe noisy GPS antenna, influenced by other RF signals, maybe GSM antenna), and Samsung implemented a kind of smoothing/averaging effect in order to compensate the imprecision and let the applications point to more exact location, at the cost of long time to converge.

What's the opinion of GPS experts around?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Xeon3D:
I'm gonna test the GPS on JPM when I go home (A 4km drive more or less) and report.

Now I just need to find that tracks application everyone speaks about.

Edit: I don't know if the My Tracks app is supposed to work as well while driving, but here's the result: Map here

And no, I don't have a flying car, nor am I a reckless driver... :(

Edit 2: Fixed map. :)

[Galaxy S I9000 General] NetCopAD:
The old bug where Cell standby shows 50% time with no signal is still there :/ although it seems this does not affect battery life as much as before.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Andyman10:
I've long suspected this was a hardware problem, too much noise on the PCB/power lines I suspect. Try turning the GPS off, putting the device into flight mode and then turning GPS back on again. When I do this on my 2.1 build SGS the GPS works fine..probably because there isn't the increased noise on the power bus and general radiation from the wireless components. Weird thing is that if I then turn flight mode off (so wireless back on) GPS continues to perform much better. Rather like it doesn't complete initial set-up well if there's lost of noise. GPS Test from the marketplace is a good tool to see just how much the SNR and lock on the satellites improves with flight mode on as well.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Carrr:
Immediate issues and solutions in froyo official

Issues:

------------

- Market is gone!

- Still as laggy as stock

- GPS still doesn't lock on low-SNR sats

Discussion/solutions:

------------

- A factory reset will apparently restore market. Are there other ways, maybe a market APK that can be installed, to avoid this?

- Is there a lagfix tested and recommended for froyo official?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cantIntoCode:
OCLF is ment to be doing wonders for people atm as people are awaiting voodoo for FroYo.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hipher:
After flashing JPM following the HOWTO thread I've found:

- Sidebar letters in contacts still are a mess (a changing mess indeed).

- Market not showing apps (fixed with SGS Tools by now).

- Also in contacts, if I use the "Set as default" button, I get a force close.

- Product code is KOR (but i suspect i was like that from a previous flash, I'm just not sure).

For Lagfix I've used OCLF 2.2+, and works well. I'm eager to see Voodo for Froyo
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xExisioNx:
How did u install oclf 2.2+ when i install from market, all the options are red so i cant do anything inside the app.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Rc-Blob:
1: Make sure you have root.

2: Install the EXT2 tools in OCLF

3: Apply lagfix

4: ???

5: PROFIT!!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mindtweaked:
So the official firmware doesn't fix the lag or gps and introduces new issues? wtf samsung?!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Snicke666:
Thats right :(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kirandeep:
could someone else please look at their calendar, mine seems to be chopped off from bottom in month view, is this normal?...

[Galaxy S I9000 General] oskretc:
Well,

Something I did correctly, because I can confirm that there is no LAG in my phone, it do run more smoothly, skype its working perfect now,

I didnt apply any lag fix,

I was running JM5 with the one click lag fix,

removed lag fix before upgrade, and i have to wipe out to recover the market

so far so good
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AsgardCurse:
no market

my own added words to t9 are gone

I think i got worse reception, but that may be 1000 other reasons.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] crabjoe:
Looks like GPS is a design or hardware issue ... Could be quality control, but I really thinking it's an issue with the design as in they placed the antenna to close to something else or the antenna is too small. I don't think Samsung will ever admit it because it would cost them millions to resolve this problem.

What I don't understand is why they just don't, at least, make a production change (bigger antenna or place it in a different place) so newer manufactured ones have the SNR issue resolved. Better SNR should fix all the Galaxy S GPS woes and they could still use all the old Galaxy S software, if they had to.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] apolas:
Anyone using K9-mail?? Can you tell me performance on official Froyo? And what about installing apps via market? It takes minutes for me on stock 2.1. My sister have Xperia X10 with stock 1.6 and download through wifi and install app took like 3 seconds.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] crabjoe:
How accurate is the GPS though? Personally I don't care if it only looks on 4 sats as long as it's accurate. I hate coming to an stop and the GPS doing a reroute because it things I've moved a few blocks away.

Thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] munwaioblivious:
how do i get the market back?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Adevem:
for those of you having lag issues. have you by any chance...

1. reformat sdcards

2. wipe cache

3. perform factory reset

4. then flash.

5. format sdcards again

6. wipe cache again

7. factory reset again

8. manually reconfiguring everything (no Titanium Backup and all that)

?

because personally with EVERY flash, I do that. I don't find myself needing a lagfix, yet. sure, it's a ***** reconfigurating everything but don't you feel "dirty" from restoring stuff? probably just my personal habit.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Chronos12:
Why didn't you backup?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mtelep:
Somewhere in this forum I saw that uninstalling lagfixes fixes no market issue.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] killfill:
Wasnt JPA for the arabic region?

Whats the difference with JPM/JP6?...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dakine:
From another thread:

Root ur phone...brwse to system folder and launch vending.apk from there and make a reboot

Try it see if that gets you your market back.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hipher:
When I was on JPK, Eris Market Fix (from the market) worked fine, or al least I could see the apps I had bought while on Eclair.

After updating to JPM tried the same, but it didn't work, so I went for SGS Tools (not SGS Toolbox, both are available in market) and it seems to have fixed it since again I have my paid apps back.

About lagfix, I haven't tried not installing it (first thing after rooting), but many people in the forum report lag problems as usual after some use. Quadrant reports over 1800 after lagfix. Don't think I'd get that without it.

However, I want to see how Vodoo for Froyo behaves once it's ready, it is supposed to be better than OCLG due to the use of EXT4 file system. We'll see.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] fabianoecjr@gmail.com:
Just did the update.

Phone is responsive and snappy, and market works alright.

No word on GPS yet, tought.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] majava:
Installed via Kies, too. The difference is pretty huge, I used to have JF3 or something, very old firmware anyways.

Lag issues are gone, GPS got a fix really fast. I lost market as well even though I have not rooted and/or installed any lagfix prior. A factory reset got it back though.

Remember to factory reset/clear cache on your phone after updating guys.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] K0v4L:
I just don't know what to do now. On every 2.2 rom when I'm trying to play music via music player my SGS is crashed, screen is black with keylights on. Then I have to hold a power button for few seconds to get it restart. I've tryied to flash jpk, jm6, jmp with odin, with wipe and factory reset and format of the internal and external sd each time. I've tried to flash jm6 via kies after regedit, and even now when my sgs is after fresh flash from kies with wipe and factory reset im trying to mp3 or flac with music player and still the same. It's start to play then after 10-20s there is a black screen and the story goes on once again. Seriously it's a one big question mark for me. If I'll go back to any 2.1 rom everything working tip-top. ...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mvenneker:
i went outside in my car and tested the GPS and i am very happy with the results. immediate pickup of the signal, no loss at all , rerouting if i change direction is immediately.. im impressed, its very useable now

for lag issues. it seems it improved a bit. i especially experienced lag when i was adding widgets etc to my homescreens, this has speed up a lot.

when i installed it, i had no problems with a market leaving btw.

overall. 100 % satisfied again for the moment :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Danvad:
Upgraded from XWJM8 XEE danish to XWJP6 yesterday using Odin.

Its still very smooth, market works completely

GPS locks very quick (10-15 sec) - still think XWJM8 worked better.

Sidebar in contacts is missing letters (G H O P X and danish Æ Ø Å)

When spelling contact names in phone part, only one phone number per person is available

In Maps searching for directions to contact persons, some contacts are missing

Compass can't decide if it works completely (still testing)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Harboe:
I went from I9000XXJPC, which for me was running ok except for a few short freezes, to the "official" (had to make Kies think it was sweetish or something) and how it's really smooth. Haven't had a chance to try out the GPS though, but in JPC that was actually quite ok.

Did a reset though, because like someone else stated, I find it's always best after flashing. LauncherPro is also running smoother it seems and the animations are now really smooth and I haven't had a single lag/freeze, but have yet to get all progs and widgets installed. But seems great so far. :-)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Harboe:
Btw before resetting, everything seems to be just the way it was suppose to. Marked and all. :-)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Chronos12:
I think it's the satellite problem.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ghosty_uk:
you must have really bad gps, as i have better results on JM1, infact besides the odd deviation when im stationary, and the odd bit on a fast corner, it tracks very acuratly.

see this map

http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=U...05142152500488.00048f22285a60b58f893&t=h&z=14

it is pretty accurate most of the time.

interestingly today i could not get the gps to work at all, so i did a reboot, turned the gps on via the topbar icon and then went into lbs test mode, where it fixed my position in 7 secs and was locking onto 2 satalites of 40 SNR, it had my accuracy at 5 meters, and was constently seeing 11 satalites but averaged at 10. yes i know this is based on my stationary position.

i have come to the conclusion that some SGS's are inherently fudged from the get go, as my mate who god help him has just got an SGS, cant even get his gps to work at all (similar to the first SGS i had), so he has asked for a replacement. another bit of info, i asked in the O2 shop about the update and got round to the GPS issues, they have had 90 - 100 returned due to the GPS problems, he declined to say how many they had actually sold, but if my theory is right i bet its only about 125 - 150 units total.

i think im one of the blessed ones who seems to have gotten lucky, that on getting mine swapped i have not had any major GPS issues with this one, and this is now 3 months after i got it replaced.

i will report the GPS findings when i can get the official froyo update via kies.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] crabjoe:
Please test your GPS periodically to see if it degrades over time. Degradation over has been one of the GPS problems because of the cache.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] _b_:
Located in norway, kies had the usual issues connecting to the phone..but when it worked the update to froyo took like 15 min total time..

Had the jf something when I bought the phone..and updated to the jm something last week...

Issues after update was the missing apps like market mentioned in earlier replies in this and other threads...the factory reset fixed this...and since a clean install allows you to rethink what apps and such you've used this allowed me to just get those apps from the market...for me at least this wasn't a bad solution..

GPS is now faster than earlier (google earth/maps and norgeskart and other GPS\map apps never seemed that slow...a few secs to load and find location!? ..anyhow they are and now a bit faster!?) AND more accurate.. now it will place me within 5meters of my 'real life' location compared to 50'ish before

Contacts with the nordic æøå letters will be placed e.g. Øystein is under O according to some weird rule...pity...but perhaps a later update will fix this..language and location is set to norway and typing messages or email these letters are there so....*sigh*...

My 2 cents to the thread :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hipher:
Oficial JP6/JPM update with KIES

After having upated to JPM with Odin, I decided to give the KIES update a try to see if things could go better.

After updating with the registry hacking thing from KIES I got:

PDA:I9000XWJP6

PHONE: I9000XXJPM

CSC: I9000XEEJP4

The old apps were still there after the update. I cleaned up everything from recovery, including formatting the internal SD:

- Market works fine. Paid apps recognized at once

- Bug in contacts sidebar still there. How can Samsung not fix this SO EVIDENT bug?

- Quadrant score: 976 Awful! The phone feels heavy, lag fix is a must.

- Product code not changed.

I hope Samsung releases a better rom, this official thing still requires a lot of modding to get a usable phone.

EDIT: After root and lagfix with OCLF 2.2.3, quadrant score is 1906. That's a lot better.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ghosty_uk:
just finished updating and holy feck is it alot faster than JM1, lovin the new settings menu coloured icons as well, didn't have to do a reinstall of any data, messages, phonebook, emails, all in tact, as were all my installed apps, market place works.

was abit bummed i had to reload all my home screen widgets, but small price to pay for a smoother, less laggy rom.

not tried GPS yet, cant find the lbs menu (does it still exist), but will give it a good test tomorrow.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kb909:
Does anyone know if Froyo fixes the three button issue and can one chance a Kies update with such a phone?

How is the overal speed? Lag?

Please only the ones that updated using Kies should respond.

That's an Android problem in general. Used to happen all the time to my Milestone and my Nexus.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Zvenn:
Well here's my list of goods and bads for JP6, I upgraded from stock JF3:

+ Data network mode disabler/enabler included in the operating system, works great!

+ GPS seems to be more accurate. Nearly instant lock-on. Haven't tested it while driving though.

- General user interface lag is identical, or maybe even worse than on stock JF3. I've only installed 50 apps with 2-3 running. Applications menu especially. :mad:

Hoping for some unofficial modders to cure some of this.

- Froyo browser is awful, no way to enable/disable flash support in the browser, scrolling lag is really slow and laggy.

- No way to uninstall bloatware like Diary, Memo or Aldiko eBook.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] compi_hu:

Theres anoying bug that I found. Stock music player doesn't support AVRCP, bluetooth remote control to play/pause/rewind/forward music. This bug also affecting JPK. 3rd party player such as TTPOD works fine.

I'm waiting for confirmation whether updating f/w to JP6 via Kies solve the problem.

Biggest thing that annoy s me, is the contacts restore isn't working from my backup pro... I get a google sync error, then it fcs when I try to bring up the contacts... Other than that though, it's been a really nice firmware! Recommended you go get it.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] BronzedDroid:
I had similar issues. The contacts would restore, but the phone reported that "too many contacts had been deleted". MyBackup instructed me to press "Delete all", which made the google service grind to a halt.

By 'stock' do you mean the stock android player or the stock Samsung player? My bluetooth headset's controls work fine with the Samsung player.

I had JM1 with a voodoo fix so my phone was very fast.

I upgraded to JP6 last night with 122 apps.

GPS is not accurate enough (100m range is poor)

Lag is bearable but VERY noticable.

Overall, for a phone such as this, the two issues above are not acceptable.

Bring in the lawyers :)
