You mentioned Bell, which means you probably have the i9000m so you are posting in the wrong thread, you should move your post so you don't confuse the issue of this thread. This thread is for the i9000.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] SpaceCaseDave:
Do you have the i9000 or the i9000m this is the point of this thread so update your post and and read what it is about before you post something.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] SpaceCaseDave:
Please people use your brain and read what the thread is about and clearly state in your posts which galaxy s model you are using, don't expect us to assume you are an intelligent person and are posting in the correct forum. We are trying to determine whether this internal sd failure thing is an issue with all galaxy s 16gb devices or just the i9000m galaxy s devices.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] SpaceCaseDave:
Which phone model!!!!

I am really getting angry with all the stupid people who don't even read what this thread is about.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] zurchpet:
I use my Galaxy S GT-i9000 since October 2010. Used it with RFS only first then using OCLF, later etx4 advanced and now ext4 on /data only. Works fine for me.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] M3tic:
I bought my Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000 thinking I got the best Android handset available in the market. After reading through the forums and learning more about "recovery mode", "download mode" and "root" and was shocked that my 16Gb version of SGS will not get into recovery mode using the 3 buttons combo, neither will it connect to kies and I've no plans on using Odin.

I believe I'll never be able to upgrade into Froyo or any possible upgrades.. I hate this!

And btw, I implemented a 4Gb external memory card into my mobile and had it working for a couple of days before it got damaged and replaced it with a current 16Gb card for now. So far its working fine. No lag fix yet since I can't perform any of these yet. Bummer!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Mortify1:
I had a problem with SD Card not mounting when upgrading to JK3, and after searching I was sure that my SD Card had died.

I tried the HowTo that formats your SD Card from Windows and flashed back to JH2 and my phone worked with no problems. I flashed back to JK3 with EXT4 lagfix and everything is working again. GOOD LUCK!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
If you plug the USB to the phone, and turn off the phone

does the battery shows charging?

if it shows the battery but not charging then the PCB is dead.

if it shows charging then it was just a SD corruption and your method will fix it

if it's a PCB problem, it'll need to be replaced
[Galaxy S I9000 General] eizyark:
Running froyo with lag fix, no problems whatsoever. i had this phone for like 4 months now i think.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] __Miguel_:
Fully stock 16GB International SGS with Eclair here. Owned it for one month and one week as of today. No problems until now, though it is a short lifespan for a phone...

Now, I sure am thankful for the standard (read: mandatory) 2-year warranty on all consumer products sold in the EU... I don't use the NAND all that much (at least for now, I'm still getting to know the phone and playing around with it), so accelerated wear is not on my mind right now, but I sure would be p****d if my phone's memory would go the way of the dodo right after a short warranty period (sub-1 year seems rather common in the States...)

Good luck to everyone, and does someone know if Samsung has said something about this issue?

Cheers.

Someone in the bell thread said a bell manager told him that Samsung admitted the problem with the I9000m to bell.

Well, good to know apparently Samsung is aware of the problem... I do hope my 16GB SGS isn't affected, it's a lousy way to loose a phone...

Thanks for the input, C.Flat.

Im from philippines also had a problem regarding internal sd.rooted only.last night im transfering files tru bluetooth when suddenly it hanged. Cant reboot it so i remove the batery.and turn it on again..the mp3 file that i transfer says invalid type.transfered files tru kies a lot of files. When i disconnect there are empty file in the internal sd..so i hard reset my phone.but the application didnt remove.try to unmount the sd and reformat.didnt work either.

When i install apps and restart my phone its gone and memory turns back.

mange to go in samsung service center..they told me im going to change the motherboard. and it cost half the price of this phone..my my..

just 1 week old.

ive tried to flash different rom but even if i factory reset and hard reset the files are still there..boot up and several force close appears..

check the system and android system not working.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Qazz~:
Been using my phone for close to 6 months.

Have used most of the lagfix created.(Voodoo for eclair, voodoo for foryo, OCLF and ULF)

Heck, i even used beta oclf which was a batch file you ran on your pc while your phone was attached to it.

My phone has been running lagfixes almost as soon as i got it and no problems yet.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] appelflap:
Hey are you Canadians running your own party here?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] D.C1986:
Ok. I am pretty sure my phone is screwed but just wanna double check.

Long story short. It start to reboot itself through the samsung screen. Recovery mode does not work. Download mode does. after that I flashed with Odin. which doesn't work.still rebooting.

So i guess my internal SD is screwed then ?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] doartest:
Mine did the same thing... I could flash 2.1 (JM8, JM9, JM1) and it would work, but all Froyo ROMs would be stuck in a boot loop. I sent it to Samsung service, and they are changing the internal memory...

I suggest you try to flash 2.1 and remove any traces of lagfixes (mine had a Voodoo folder on the internal SD, which had corrupted files in it, which could not be deleted; therefore I reformatted the internal SD through Windows). Otherwise, you might not be covered by warranty.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xxgg:

So non i9000M Galaxy S' are still alive and kicking, eh ?

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] davel23:
I've got Android 2.1 running on my HD2, works pretty well aside from the occasional app crash. However, not matter what I try I can't log into my Google account. I enter my (correct) username and password, then it sits for a few minutes and comes back with "can't establish a reliable data connection to the server". Data seems to be working, I can browse the web and the maps app works ok, it just won't connect my Google account. I know we're in highly-experimental territory here, but does anyone know of a way to fix this?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] boss.king:
I had the same problem. Make sure background data is turned on, that should fix it.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] davel23:
Hmm, background data was already selected. I tried turning it off and back on again, still can't log into Google. Any other suggestions?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jelliottz:
Connect via wifi the first time while you set up and sync. After that you should be good to go on your normal data connection.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Archer:
I've had this problem on DesireHD or Evo ROMs, but never on a Desire ROM.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] davel23:
I can't connect to Wifi either. It gets as far as "Obtaining IP address", sits there for a few minutes then reports "Unsuccessful". I can connect when booted into Winmo, so it's not a problem with the AP/password.

Maybe I'm just using the wrong Android release, can anyone suggest a good one (with download link if possible?) Thanks!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jelliottz:
I have very much enjoyed Bangsters ROMs. They are based on Cyanogen and everything works, including accurate camera flash. If stock android is your thing then go with this.

Ah, downloaded and installed the latest Bangster, everything seems to be working properly. Thanks for all the help!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Gingerbred:
I don't what terrible things Samsung has done to it but it´s very nasty downgrade from 2.1.

Everything lags, scrolling isn't smooth.. back to JM9
[Galaxy S I9000 General] vinclar:
Do a full wipe, and wipe cache in the recovery mode.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Zvenn:
Completely agree. Browser lags -A LOT- while trying to scroll.

And there seems to be no button to disable flash from loading (flash seems to be what is slowing the browser down)

I did a factory reset + reformatted SD cards before installing JP6.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] huxflux2003:
Browser is worse than Eclair indeed. Something must be done about this.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] pmos69:
Back button is the same as before: simply use the standard back button on the phone.

To make Flash content load only after you click on it: go to settings, choose Enable plug-ins and select On demand.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Zvenn:
Alright, thanks. That actually smoothened the scrolling experience a bit too, it's still worse than on 2.1 though. :(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] DSF:
Try this:

- close the browser

- open pocketnow.com

- after it loaded, scroll a bit

- now look in task manager

With plugins disabled the browser took only more than 130 mb for just one opened page.

Of course launcher, live wallpapers, etc were killed due insufficient ram.

Free available ram + browser = perfect combo. Gg google & samsung. Great relase :angry:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] android53:
That...is absolutely ridiculous, I just tested on jpa, 124mb used for pocketnow.com followed by a fc and memory dump

This froyo is not release worthy...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gerelee:
wow, so it's a froyo thing? My droid X browser with froyo is NOT smooth at all while my vibrant and fascinate running 2.1 are smooth as silk!!!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cba1986:
It's strange pocketnow in JM9 only used 29 Mb. The problem must be flash related.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] topshelf95:
There is a memory leak in the leaked version of 2.2 for the Captivate which is what was causing the browser lag. I'm hoping this is not the case for your I9000's as this was supposed to be fixed before release and does not bode well for the release version of the captivate. However, it may be something to look into.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Will.1:
comfirmed, huge memory leak with the browser.

experience not smooth at all on JP6 with the stock browser (pocketnow.com)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] andrewluecke:
How did you confirm it.. In my experience, most people who "confirm" memory leaks have "confirmed" it using VERY sketchy evidence. It reminds me of the time a bunch of people "confirmed" firefox was leaking, and showed "proof". Problem is, it was wrong (and every developer knew it). Unfortunately, the crowd these days seems to hear the word "memory leak"., and be instantly biased.

Firstly, people should set addons to load "on demand" (its in settings). Secondly, ensure you have wiped the caches and reset to factory settings (if you aren't using Kies to upgrade). Because it's certainly fine here.. After you have done both of these things, then return, and comment on how they went.

I find it impressive how effortless it is to set you guys off though on angry rants, without having all the facts.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] DSF:
Man.. I've already wiped right after update. Also I've tested with plugins off and on demand. with flash always on is worse.

Just try it.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tameracingdriver:
The browser in my n1 seems quite sluggish at times too... don't be so quick to blame Samsung for that IMO.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] andrewluecke:
How much crap are you running in the background? All I'm running is Launcherpro, Jabberoid.

And the Froyo browser feels to me as fast as the Eclair one.. Neither are blitzing, but it isn't bad here..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] topshelf95:
Funny, sounds like you just went off on an angry rant and also didn't seem to have any facts showing that there isn't a memory leak. :D

If you read the stuff from the developers in the Captivate section, it is widely known that there is a browser leak with the new update. Granted, ours was a leaked version, but it's real none the less. I'm not saying that is definitely the problem here, but based on the facts of what we have with the captivate, it is certainly something to look at.

Yes, everyone has already tried setting addons to "on demand", even turned them off completely and wiped the caches and reset back to factory settings, all of that is old news. There is even a thread posted specifically trying to address this problem.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] DSF:
Even without any apps opened the browser is simply awful.

also it takes extra cpu too. Try listening to music while browsing.

... Very annoying :(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] titooo7:
andrewluecke you must have a different sgs than the rest of us. No matter if we speak about gps, lags or browser problems, you always come here to say that the problem isnt so bad,people tends to exagerate or samsung is not doing things so wrong.

Sorry but are you working for samsung or u just have a Samsung Galaxy S 2.0? Because its really difficult to find someone that deffends so much samsung or question so much the complains of the users...

[Galaxy S I9000 General] squyerkul:
it works fine on the mobile version of pocketnow.com

But on the desktop version its quite laggy on stock browser, I read over 100mb in the built in taskmanager.

However with Mini opera, its only 30mb, and its smooth as silk :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] borchgrevink:
How do I wipe the cache? Is this done when I do a factory reset?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] DSF:
Haven't tested yet but someone posted that the high memory problem is still there. This makes the SGS multitasking useless (opened apps are closed, even the Launcher).

@borchgrevink via Recovery Mode (with phone off: vol up + home + power, keep pressing the first 2 buttons )
[Galaxy S I9000 General] almaalma74:
I guess it is related to Touchwiz.

Under tw the pocketnow.com in browser is 27mb, under launcherpro it is 80mb. why? lp is not compatible fully w/ i9000?

FWIW, just tried it on JH2 and TK is showing 16.9mb being used. Bad froyo bad!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] android53:
It seems to run a little faster when using just stock touchwiz, probably because there is 15mb more ram available till it starts having trouble.

This seems like a memory leak, although strangely it only sometimes leaks into a fc
[Galaxy S I9000 General] n1kon:
i have no issues with the browser. Im running. JPM/JPM/JPM
[Galaxy S I9000 General] andrewluecke:
I was simply asking how they knew. And now, the "confirmation". What you are confirming is that a bug was confirmed for ANOTHER device, and MIGHT apply to this one. And that was the specific reason I asked for proof, so that people don't quote what he said, when it might be wrong.

I said I didn't test the GPS in Froyo yet, and I'll make up my mind when I do. I said CLEARLY, that there were reports it was fixed, and that I'd test it myself.. I used my browser for a VERY long time today whilst waiting. And whilst I'll now agree scrolling is a bit jumpier, it doesn't seem to have absolutely any impact on productivity whatsoever. Sorry if I'm not a drama queen though, who doesn't freak out at every tiny problem.

And apparently, people who take Faynman's advice and question things (to prevent rumors being turned into fact, and I have discovered a lot of that happening here), are fanboy's. Well, lets be honest here. Who ACTUALLY believes the slight slowdown in scrolling affects their productivity? Because after using the browser for ages today, it didn't seem to here... You'd call it a disgrace if it constantly crashed, froze up, etc, not because the scrolling was less smooth. It's not worth slitting your wrists over..

And yes, in regards to my other claims, a lot of it is exaggerated (and a lot of it, if real, would mean that nobody could use their phone). I'm simply asking for a little bit less soap opera, and less drama queens running around. Lets be curious about responses, and see how conclusions were drawn. That's all I'm asking. *sigh*

PS. Not all flashing lights are UFO's, and not all people who disagree work for Samsung. Despite my signature, you'll notice I question BOTH sides of the discussion if evidence is missing. My signature is an experiment, and I'm actually neutral in regards to this phone at the moment, at least until I test the GPS myself, which will be a deciding factor. Notice, future tense..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] titooo7:
I'm kind of happy with my sgs,otherwise i would try to sell it.Of course the phone works good (the gps just works but not really good,its worst than my nokia 5800 gps: 2 years old phone), but things doesnt work as they are suppose: gps, browser in froyo and lags.I really have to claim if other devices with same or worst hardware can win my sgs on that.

Some people say "now with lagfix my sgs is bettr than ........ phone".Well thats the problem that we have to use patches from users like you and me in order to have it working as it should be.

For now i feel kind of embarrase to switch screens in front of an iphone 4 user. Its obvious that they can do it in a much smoother way,and thats not because apple did a great job,its because samsung didnt.

But why would samsung fix those things? Most of the users dont care and dont use the forums to find solutions,while others users like you recognize some problems but "its ok because the phone is still usable"...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dyallo:
Nah I still get the same force-close using TouchWiz.

Try loading pocketnow using Opera Mini (using 19.34MB), it takes like 4 seconds. It's childsplay.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] DSF:
How much RAM does the browser take when opening pocketnow.com?

@ghosty_uk red = high cpu consumption

@andrewluecke it affects the phone if you leave the browser in background (because it's still using CPU, can be seen in task manager). Mine starts to be more laggy. So please don't hide the truth. It simply ruins the joy of using the phone if you want to browse the internet.

This puts you on the leaked Froyo files (The last 2.3.15 leak is the same as the OTA Froyo update, just a slightly different boot loader and radio)

Many of us stayed on the Leaked version (I did) because the 2.2 SBF wasn't available until just a couple of days ago.
[Droid X General] Anderdroid:
The issue with that method for me won't work is because I'm not on .604 I'm on .516

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] J_Bone:
I am thinking about flashing CM6 this weekend just to see what it's like. I have been on Vaelpak 2.2 and been very happy with it. I tried some of the sense roms first (Baked and Myn mainly) and didn't think I would like a non-sense rom but I am digging Vael w/Launcher Pro and haven't really missed sense.

I know that the ultimate test will be to try it out myself and I plan to. I am also not trying to start another blanket "which one is best thread" but I would like to hear some thoughts from some of you Rom Warriors that have spent some decent time with both to see what I should expect as far as these two are concerned.

Other factors: I am not in a 4G area, HDMI isn't important (right now anyways) and I never listed to the FM radio anyways. I also have one of the Chinese batteries on the way, so as long as the weight of it don't scare me off, I hopefully won't have battery issues with either rom.

With those factors in the mix, can some of you offer your informed opinions of what I should expect to see/miss if I flash CM6?

I think both have new versions cooking (see what I did thar) so just give me your thoughts on the current versions.

Thanks a bunch!
