So much news about Froyo release in Europe. US expected to release Froyo in Nov but I couldn't find any news for poor Canadians....

Any one? please share some reputed news for Bell users of Vibrant....
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ca7846:
We have two hurdles. First, Samsung mobile Canada is still working on Froyo for the I9000M (it seems like it but I am not too sure). Second, Bell has to approve the firmware and put their app that works on 2.2.

When will those be done? Well, all we can do is cross our fingers. What I have realized while living in Canada for 15 years is that everything is REALLY slow here.

Just a heads-up to anybody thinking of using the international JP6 firmwares: don't do it if you're on Bell's network!

You'll lose the 850 MHz band. I learned the hard way.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lightarrow:
And it bricked mine, or maybe it accelerated the bricking/ corruption of the internal SD Card

Yeah if Samsung would also just fix their Kies program too that would be good... it shut my phone off and wouldn't let it turn back on until I pulled the battery. What gives?

850Mhz Band / SD Card Issue?

Hi there,

I am on Bell and I am thinking of doing some customization of firmware for this device (i.e., 2.2 if it is available).

What is the 850Mhz Band issue/SD card issue you refer to? Is there any firmware you recommend I should try that might actually work okay with Bell?

(sorry for the noobish question.........)

Thanks in advance!

My friends, friend wants to know when the 2.2 update is coming to Canada, can anyone help please, thank you
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Valeo:
Come back when Samsung has properly rolled it out throughout Europe. Until then no one really knows...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dm-digital:
Got a message from Samsung Canada and there are no release dates as of yet. They said they were still working with the carriers to finalize a date.

I'm guessing they will be releasing country by country and Canada will be near the end of the list. Typically we see leaked ROMs some time before an official release and so far there hasn't been anything for north america. Canada needs a different radio then the rest of the world and because we are a smaller market we won't be as high a priority.

I never have problem with wcdma 850 on froyo with bell i9000m, all u need to do is flash the jh2 modem and change csc to bmc, then u have the original bands back, the only problem im having w jp6/jpm is battery drain, when i ran the spare parts battery info, showing my phone is running 100%, any anyone know how to fix that let me know
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Electroz:
This is the problem with using the JH2 modem in Froyo. it is not designed for it, which is also why you cannot see the signal status numbers in the settings menu on Froyo as well.

We know it's possible to get Froyo working on an I9000M, but MANY people have lost their internal SD and there is no Froyo modem available that supports the 850mhz wcdma band.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ccage:
the carriers need to just say ya sure update it. You don't even get it through the carriers you get it through ****ty kies. It's late october the update better be coming in the next 11 days.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MKVFTW:
There is some miss information in this thread. I am using a bell i9000m with froyo on it. And so is my girlfriend. We both live in an area where 850mhz 3G is the prominent band and still have 850mhz 3G signal.

I flashed doc's JPM RomMod and it works 100%. No sd card issues (internal or external) or problems of any kind.

Offical froyo wont be out untill december is my guess. Bell has to load it up with their bloatware before they even release it and its not even finished yet.

I have seen a lot of complaints on this but all the hacks and mods I've tried have the same issue. It seems like another thing to get used to (like no notification led and no flash)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dani897:
i think the kernel has been modded to use as a notification led, but anyway if you touch the screen the lights come back on and how long does it take to learn the buttons any way?

we can hope that an experianced dev can work that into there busy schedules i wouldn't count on it
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ozy944:
They can be changed...atleast they can on the i9000 which means all you need is patience...quite a bit of patience ;)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=772672

If the backlight notifications can be used based on calls to notifications, a call can be created to something related to screen/power/time etc to keep the lights running.

Ive managed to get used to it but the button press area is quite small too, meaning sometimes it takes a couple of tries to press it right, esp when you are holding the phone at funny angles.

Wish phones would come with real buttons again. I loved the layout and buttons on the Topaz.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dino.:
Isn't there a kernel update or something that had this update? (unless your running Froyo) You can at least use them for notifications lol. This:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=762171

And yea, as much as i know where the buttons are, I still fail at exactly hitting them every now and then too lol.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dani897:
just touch the screen first, they'll light up!

But now , i want i phone that i can flash with any rom i want , so can you tell me which of the samsung or the htc is the more complete for that? Plus the samsung got a dam good screen !can i have a 'washed' customised rom i mean without touchWIZ ? I hope to not botering you if i posted on the bad section sorry for that and thamks for the answers.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] evilkorn:
I don't know about the European version but I don't think they have a stock 2.2+ rom working on the US versions. But I'm pretty sure that you can have a stock rom on the Desire. So I would say Desire for customizing and Galaxy for hardware.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] moussm:
Thamks for your repli ! You have the desire or the galaxy ? Which one you prefer?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] zephyri-xr:
I love HTC Sense so desire 1 galaxy 0

Galaxy has easier root so 1-1

Galaxy's CPU is better in graphics (in a test i read) so 1-2

Desire has more ram 2-2

So theyre equal for me but it changes according to your prioities. So i say choose your destiny :D

Edit: you can disable Sense UI

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxsydenxX:
So my contract will soon end, and i shall say good by to my Sprint Hero. I'm really hoping to get a new phone., namely an epic 4g or an evo 4g.

There are a few things that attract me to the evo over the Epic 4G.

I'm and HTC Fan Boy :D

DAT SCREEN -coolface.jpg-

I dont like these slide out keyboards.

But as always im hesitant.

There are a few things in which make me extremely nervous about the EVO...

Battery Life

Glass displacement

Rooting Process said to be hard!

Now I must ask you all this... How much battery life would one get assuming he has the evo settings as this.

Stock CPU Clock, Bluetooth off, Wifi off, gps off, 4g off, mobile data always on Off, Screen brightness around 25%, Rooted, Running CM6, launcher pro.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themassofthesun:
I'm getting around 10to 12 hours with that set up
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bizdady:
1. Battery Life

I get about 15 hours with moderate use, longer with light use. This consists of wifi during the day streaming Pandora, ESPN radio, web browing and 3g on drives to work and at lunch time.

2. Glass displacement

No issues here

3. Rooting Process said to be hard!

Unrevoked 3.21 does all the work with 1 click root.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxsydenxX:
So you'd say battery life is less of an issue these days with the EVO? Honestly?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bizdady:
If you have your data on always refreshing it can be lol My wife had her phone trying to sync everything every hour so her battery kept dying by 5pm, she of course has a backup battery though. I have a usb charger at work just in case but on weekends I do carry a spare battery just in case I get crazy with the battery. Got 2 spares on ebay for 10 bucks and they hold up pretty well.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aerodynamix:
Yeah in all honesty my battery can pretty much last as much as I want it to. Depending on usage. Like in idling the phone could probably last 30+ hours, it's just all the games I play and stuff brings that down to like 12. But if for some reason you needed it to last more you could underclock a little and just use it less.

Also, the Epic was said to have same/worse battery life. It's a tough decision though. Personally I went with the Evo, and I've been glad I did because of all the activity on here for the Evo. I don't think the Epic has a root method yet for 2.2.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxsydenxX:
I'm thinking i will likely choose the evo then... I cant stand sense though so it's i'm going to root and install cm6 on it. any advice for that guys?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] catdeerduck:
I have the seido battery and it's worth it. I can go two days with moderate use without needign to charge it. Im running CM6 with snap turbo with the new acerlauncher.apk
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khov07:
I may be in the minority here, but the Epic's screen really doesn't impress me. It is bright, but the colors really just look oversaturated, and to my eyes, it looks like a cheap trick. I prefer the EVO's screen, but that's just my preference.

Also, the Epic is much fatter, and after using an EVO for a while, the Epic's slide out keyboard feels like I'm using an old WinMo Pocket PC.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aerodynamix:
I couldn't agree more. I was looking at the fascinate yesterday and I thought it looked cheap as well. Evo has more realistic colors in my opinion.

also, cm still isn't available on a galaxy s phone.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxsydenxX:
Well that settles it...the evo battery minus sense..and lobotomizing features has decent battery.. so im going to get it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aerodynamix:
Have you used them both? Hands on? If not, I'd do that first. The epic is in no way a base phone. It has some features of it's own.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stajdanley:
I only use my phone moderately throughout the day, checking facebook, gmail, some texts, one or two phone calls. With a full charge at 1PM I am anywhere from 30 to 20 percent battery life when I get home from work at 11PM. That is with 4G off. With 4G on (which I don't have anymore running Cyanogen MOD) I had to put my phone on a charger by about 6PM.

Buy an EVO and a car charger. You will love it, but don't realistically expect to make it from wake to sleep on a single charge.

As for rooting, it couldn't be easier with Unrevoked 3.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crossrocker:
I don't think there's any screen issues with the new ones..

Rooting is easy as hell unless ur stupid. And battery life is same as epic anyway so yeah..

[Vibrant General] mtburner:
I got the OTA this morning, and it soft bricked my phone... so I used Odin and went to JI6 (from the stock ROM). Phone was rooted and unlocked before.

Now when I try to root, I place the update.zip in the root directory of the phone (not the sdcard), reboot into recovery using the volume buttons, it says it flashed.

But, when I go to use any app like Clockwork Mod, that requires root... I get the same error msg every time "The application Superuser Permissions (process com.noshufou.android.su) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. [Force Close] button.

I've tried to root repeatedly, same results.

What am I doing wrong? It was so simple the first time around.

Thanks
[Vibrant General] chichu_9:
Check to make sure, you have latest release of busy box installed.
[Vibrant General] mtburner:
Do I need busy box? I didn't need it the first time I rooted.
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
Did you rename the update.zip file that was already on your internal memory from when you flashed clockwork recovery the first time?

Are you sure you didn't name it update.zip.zip because your pc was hiding the file extension?

Check the general sticky. I odin to ji6 and routed no problem and put my steps in the sticky.
[Vibrant General] mulcahyd:
Try the OCLF by Ryan. I used that to re-root my Vibrant after successfully updated to JI6 via Kies Mini last night.

OCLF - One Click Lag Fix. That app is in market and it will root your phone so no pc is needed. You need to run it on your samsung vibrant phone once than reboot it. You should see super user permission icon in your apps.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silverballer95:
Actually, when you do a wipe, as soon as you're back into your phone just go straight to the market and go to your downloads, it always seems to save them there. I wouldn't recommend doing this if you're changing to a ROM with a different version of android (I.e. going from Fresh to Cyanogenmod).

Ok, So here it is. The FFC for Vibrant is a HARDWARE mod, it replaces the	Vibrant's camera with the Korean Galaxy S's Camera, so obviously there will be issues. There are only two choices. I'll spell out the Pluses and Consequences of the two camera modules.

Original Vibrant Camera:

+'s

1. High-Quality Pictures during the the day and night.

2. Minimal Moire and Banding "effects"

3. No need to flash a custom ROM to get full functionality

-'s

1. No FFC, therefore no video chat, checking your face for any blemishes on-the-go, etc.

Korean Galaxy S Camera:

+'s

1. FFC, therefore videochat is available (with some hacks)

2. Awe your friends that much more, and make any EVO or iPhone 4-owning friends shut up.

-'s

1. Severe Banding effect in dark and/or nightime areas, less severe in daytime.

2. Slight moire effect in nighttime/dark areas

3. Overall reduced image quality

4. Hardware modding, if done wrong, can result in a irreparable paperweight

5. Must flash a custom ROM in order to get the FFC functioning.

6. Expensive

Well, take your choice and please stop complaining. The image quality, banding and moire effects will probably never be fixed do to the cause probably being grounding issues. Is it worth it? I can not decide that as everyone has their own personal opinion.
[Vibrant General] oka1:
2 things

1. If you need video that much get a mirror (small compact) This works

2. a external cam that attaches or is bluetooth I am looking but have not found yet
