Its good to see that Samsung intends to fix the issue. They obviously use these leaks and quasi official releases instead of properly beta testing but I can live with that if in the end we get a properly working product. I hope they just switch to a mature filesystem instead of trying to fix rfs because I think the latter will take much longer to accomplish.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Oletros:
People expect that thigs work as announced by Samsung.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Valeo:
I doubt Samsung will swap RFS out for a more mature filesystem (like ext3), because that'll mean upgrading to Froyo will require a complete wipe of the phone instead of an in-place upgrade. Plus they've probably invested silly amounts of money in RFS.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Karupan:
I'm not sceptical, but unless anything is official, its difficult to believe. If they are indeed working on something better, good for us users. I anyway feel that they rushed up the Froyo release without proper testing and with the same old issues (GPS, LAG). Fixing the lag can be done without their help, thanks to the amazing devs here. But GPS needs a proper fix ASAP.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ikanikolai:
Hey man!

What are you talking about? Tab browsetr lib? voodoo lag fix?

We are talking about the f.ckin stock phone. I don't want to create - with voodoo - an ext4 partition instead of the stock ext2 because the bootloader doesn't recognize that. It's cool that some people can write a hack for SGS to use ext4 partition but I don't want to. And I also don't want to hack my phone.

I think there's a lot of customer as me, we just want to buy a phone and we loved if it is just _works_. No modification, no hacking, no odin. Just working without any lag and fc.

Do you think we want too much? I don't think so. If Samsung says it's an iphone killer, then _please_ show me. The SGS is bleeding. This is the best hardware on the market but the software is awful. The support is awful. And the f.cking stock launcher named Touchwiz is awful as well. And I don't wwant to use an iphone copy UI. That's why my first move was to buyin the LauncherPro Plus.

I read a lot of topic, thread. People, plese don't say it's not laggy and it's good with voodoo cause we don't care. We want Samsung made a software w/o any lag. That's all.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nCoder:
What if it was your brand new car?

You are right. Can you imagine if it was a car? if "sometimes" your brand new car couldn't go faster than 30Km/h?! Or if "sometimes" the lights switch off? ... Sure you can go to the mechanic and make it faster by adding some stuff, but, this is not what we expect from a brand new car, right?

BTW: Just keep in mind that a lot of people don't have Lag issues (I don't have lag).:eek:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ikanikolai:
Excellent example. Think on it, maybe an airplane. Sometimes the engine is just not working. For 1 sec or two 2... That would be funny...

Yes. If I don't use slideIT, my live wallpaper and the most SW on my phone, it's not laggy, maybe a little bit, for a sec sometimes. But if I had a phone which had 2GB memory for apps, I will install apps and use them. I think it depends on how many app is used.

Anyway I think the lag issue is a software problem. And that's still there if someone use the lagfix but the more quick filesystem hide it from people. That's not a solution and that's a hack.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] juamiso:
Keep in mind that the Automotive branch and the telco have almost nothing in common. Quality standards and development times differ from moon-to-earth, as well as funding and available resources.

Also, the Galaxy S is a high end HW piece, comparable if you want with very fast track/road cars, which probably for everyday use are buggy.

If you buy a mainstream Ford Fiesta, probably is much more reliable than if you buy a BMW M3. You expect little from a Fiesta, and that's what you normally get, same with a low/medium end mobile terminal.

However, if you use a more capable thing, normally people tend to abuse it so find out where their limits are.

Still happy with my Galaxy S. At the end, it is smart-phone, not a little laptop with 3G/GSM capabilities. Let's not forget that.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nCoder:
Don't get me wrong. I'm very satisfied with my SGS. Besides, I don't have the LAG problem (with ~120apps installed and no lagfix).

Anyway, you cannot accept these kind of problems (that affect to many users here) neither in a car nor in a "top-model" phone. Even if you buy a cheap fiat punto, you'd never accept that it looses drastically performance "sometimes", or the equivalent problems....
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Taomyn:
Err.....not true. If Voodoo can in-place convert RFS to EXT4 (and back again) why can't Samsung....wait, that's right, 'cos they're sh*t!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] pele78:
Lol, if samsung were that shoddy, why did you buy a phone from them?

Samsungs only flaws are:

Software related

Poor and inconsistent communication

They still produce some outstanding pieces of hardware in all categories.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Roy Ngan:
if that sh*t is that simple,straight forward, supercurio won't spend so much time to do development and handling countless of support post in the thread.

can't you see there are still lot of issue reported?

theory is simple, to put it as practical, not paint across all SGS is not an easy task.

and i bet there are user out there can't accept voodoo battery drain issue. if Samsung were to adapt Voodoo, there will still complain saying that Samsung release "sh*tty* firmware that drain the battery power, shorten battery life and their target is to sell more battery now, bla bla bla.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] EarlZ:
As long as RFS says the Galaxy S wont be as fast as it is intended to be ( just my opinion )
[Galaxy S I9000 General] t1mman:
There's plenty of recalls for the automitive industrie

http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/recalls/recallsearch.cfm

The only reason you don't see it is because they usually fix it when you go for servicing (oil change and the likes).

Guys check the NTT docomo's galaxy s to be released on 28th october on you tube....running froyo with most of the problems fixed...atleast the major ones such as gps and lag
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gatesmarch123:
Wow that's to bad. My phone FLIES on wifi...it's actually stunning me how fast it is. You tube videos load faster than my notebook...that's no joke. I use my sgs more than my computer now.

Doh, other date I fed up with dates.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] darkoroje:
So in your opinion it is OK for Samsung to advertise that the phone has GPS even though it does not work properly. In any case GPS is useful for more than just car navigation there are many location based services such as local weather or search that do not work properly if phone's location cannot be established.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gatesmarch123:
Hey If I get froyo within the next 3 months I'll be happy. When I bought my Moto Cliq...almost a YEAR AGO, I was promised 2.1. within "the next month or two" Guess what? Still waiting! There are Cliq users still actually holding their breath for an official release! Screw Moto...and their love making with VERIZON!

[Galaxy S I9000 General] pele78:
hmmmm, does gps work on a fresh out of the box sgs ? Just a question...

Cause im pretty sure user settings/apps used for gps plays a part. I dont really us ethe gps much so i dont have an issue with what i use it for, but i hear some random reports that certain apps give a better reading than others ?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nandihno:
Ever since the jm# releases gos has work fine
[Galaxy S I9000 General] crabjoe:
I really don't get what you're saying here because 1st you say they have nothing in common, then you try and make comparisons with high-end cars/phones to low-end cars/phone.

Personally, I when it comes to development and quality, I'd think it would be easier to build a phone then a car. You can get cars that can do everything that the SGS does, other then the cell phone part.

Regardless.... If a company advertises a product to do something at a given price, their product better do what they say it will. Lag, GPS or anything else a developer does outside of the manufacture should be done for play, not to make the product do what the manufacture says it should do already. The best part about fixing your own SGS, while leaving Samsung off the hook, is that Samsung will void your warranty for you to fix it yourself!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] crabjoe:
Might the GPS be fixed because they made a production or slight design change to get the GPS antenna working properly?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dreamtheater39:
Loving my froyo experience :) Battery life has insanely increased in jp6! :)

What SUCKS MONKEY A$$ is the god damned GPS....the hardware is surely fcked. Its got terrible accuracy, hopeless update frequency. All my earlier phones used to be sooo damn flawless and I miss them :( The crummy Samsung i780 worked brilliant on the GPS department. Whats worse - I cant even hook up an external bluetooth based GPS unit because the OS doesnt support it...now that sucks

The rest of the hardware though, is spot on - awesome display!, great hardware and performance (could have used a little more RAM though)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Oletros:
Why always the one to blame is the user?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] pele78:
Because sometimes that is the case unfortunately and nothing wrong with that.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] fatdogcat:
I totally agree. But samsung sucks at doing software.... hope they will improve
[Galaxy S I9000 General] android.francis:
Now that we are back on the topic, let us chill out and relax a bit while we wait for Samsung Froyo release around November.

So what do we do now guys? Angry Birds anyone? LoL

Anyways, I am using JPM/JPM/JPM with voodoo 5 (pre6). A few lags here and there but no "annoying lag".

Only complaint is the WIFI reception. I am now searching the vast pages of XDA for any quick fix that might resolve this. Once I fix this, my SGS would be near perfect to my standards.

:p
[Galaxy S I9000 General] pele78:
Don't even getting me started ! The worst thing about angry birds is when those pigs smile at you! Imma go deal with em right now!

P.s. Two weeks left til new froyo.

any luck with this?

I too find that the wifi reception is awful.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TheBenzinator:
few questions...

1. How do you know the new rom will be FAST? (I did not see any commitment for this from Samsung).

2. Do Samsung intend to finally fix the lag issue caused by FAT32 internal memory (will they move to ext type like 1-click lag fix does?)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tytanowy:
1. It's suspicion based on SamFirmware tweet.

2. Nobody knows.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TheBenzinator:
Isn't there any comment from Samsung support regarding their lag issue??
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xan:
Samfirmware got different now.

I consider stopping following them/him.

Their twitter is plagued with unrelated information with little sense.

Not that I care, but it makes me sad.

They create rumors just for popularity and use their rank for advertising and benefits. They got a large amount of SGS owner's email addresses. (the site is restricted, you need to register).

Because of all of that I stopped considering them as reliable source. Talk about soda water.

I know these are harsh words, but i just couldn't hold it.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mike.sw:
finally someone who said it. thank you xan.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dakine:
Just flash the Universal Lagfix kernel and get a fast rom now. Who wants to wait for something that may or may not happen.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] android.francis:
Not yet but hopefully, Samsung's second release of Froyo should fix this issue..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Hydrostatic:
Yeah, WiFi reception is worse than with any other device I have ever owned. I have the latest JP6 firmware and WiFi is as bad as before. When other mobile phones show five networks with good signal, Galaxy S only shows two of them. When other devices show one hundred percent signal, Galaxy S cannot even connect anymore. This really is awful.

I believe the problem is on hardware side and it will not get any better. Also GPS has same kind of problems and both, WiFi and GPS, are integrated on the same chip. Samsung has really screwed that up.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] andrewluecke:
We don't have actual confirmation JP6 is final..

But what you need to do is check the db's, not the bars. Because bars can represent anything
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Hydrostatic:
Yes, I have been checking decibels. Signal is 20 to 25 dbm lower than with other devices. Galaxy S doesn't even show all networks that other devices show, because its reception is so low.

Hey guys,

I dont know if you saw my previous post a few days ago asking if anyone could creat a vinyl record as a clock

well a kind member over at droidforums did this for me and packaged it up in a .zip file except he thought it was for a d1. Now when i install the .zip it says it installed fine but the analog clock is not changed. I tried just installing the .apk and it said it could not install

would anyone mind taken a look at the attached .zip file and seeing if they can find out why its not workin with the X??

Thank you
[Omnia II General] thethingx:
Hi,

I have tried every arabizer i could find on a wide range of roms (official and customized WM 6.5.3 for Samsung Omnia2 I8000) and it will show arabic but with bugs (Mushaf al madina will display arabic as squares in menues, samsung messaging app will display arabic letters abnormally).

The only time everything worked was when i installed aldurazy-TSD-mobidiv 416 on a custom Energy ROM and after that install 2 fixes(downloaded from the wiki) provided by Energy, I couldn't do that again sadly. But the ROM i used literaly EATS battery even when idle) so this is not a practical solution, but an evidence that arabization works somehow and samsung's messaging application arabic problem can be fixed without switching to the original system's sms app.

I'm using JH2 WM 6.5.3 ROM. And i wish to see some definitive solution and i'm willing to take as many formats as i can to get it working, please help.

PS: i have used

mobidiv 416 and 454

Microsoft Arabizer

installing tahoma arabic font

aldurazy arabic for omnia2 (both full and lite)

(AR_Mobidiv_OMNIA2_aldurazy-TSD- 24-12-09.cab)

(TA_MOBiDIV_416_AR_Eng.cab)

:confused:

So you see i have tried, any help is much appreciated.
[Omnia II General] Cyrax-001:
hello friend , i am new to the omnia 2 ... i used to have sony ericsson X1 ...

may i know if you found a solution to the arabization problem ? and does it work well with every thing else but the Moshaf program and the samsung messaging ? ... cuz i care a lot about the internet browsing and the messinger issues
[Omnia II General] thethingx:
There's an issue with internet explorer refusing to show arabic characters, and in one case (some custom firmware) it showed english characters as squares while showing arabic charecters (the reverse of the default).

Didn't try messenger though. And still no solutions, i'm starting to give up, i don't want to keep formatting, i want to start actually using my phone!

I hope this gets solved once and for all.
[Omnia II General] Cyrax-001:
well friend , no need to give up or to be sad , i used the same arabizer wich i used before with the x1 experia and every thing is perfect .... messaging , browsers , messingers ( im+ , parlingo ) .. its all perfect

it is the arabizer (454-EN-6.1-6.5-20100329-TSD)

and i used the mobidiv xtype keybord .... its all fine ....

try them pal
[Omnia II General] Cyrax-001:
it seems that u have problem with your ROM , its not the problem of the arabizer , try to flash another one ....
[Omnia II General] thethingx:
Thanks for the reply, as for the ROM i have used many and now i'm using the original so the problem should not be there. (I'm using the JH2 official ROM WM6.5.3).

As for the arabizer the only link i could find after googling is not valid, can you share it here please with the keyboard?
[Omnia II General] thethingx:
I have found the files, but why did you choose the 6.1-6.5 version and not the 6.5-all version? what ROM are you using?
[Omnia II General] Cyrax-001:
sorry for being late ... but my device stopped while updating the rom for 2 days and now it came back to life ....

well freind , pervious rom i used was ( pdaviet ) cooked rom , every thing was ok with it .... messaging , messingers , web browsers ... etc .

but when i upgraded to the official ROM jh1 ... there was a problem with the web browsers , wehre the arabic symbols is displayed as squares or it wont be displayed at all :-(

i think that u r using the same official rom , but any way i will try a lite rom based on this official jh1 ... and i will tell you the result as soon as i flash it
[Omnia II General] thethingx:
I'm using the official JH1 release, with the XEUJE5 CSC, and with the arabizer you mentioned there's no problems with arabic support, which leads to a simple conclusion:

"Arabization using mobidiv/arabware IS NOT WELL SUPPORTED ON WM 6.5.3, a simple reason being that the arabization is extracted from WM 6.5 HTC LEO (usually) so blame microsoft for not supporting their products as they should)"

hope things work for you too. I'm thinking about devoting some of my time in the future to learn how to cook my own rom with the kernel i choose.
[Omnia II General] mahdiit:
Hi,

You can use Farsi CSC (Also support all arabic character) from microtel company that solve all problems in OMNIA ii I8000 for arabic and persian support:

View Complete Arabic/Persian character in SMS and Messaging

View Complete Arabic/Persian in Browser like Opera and IE

View Arabic/Persian Subtitle (STR) in TouchPlayer

What is you need is: A Omnia II I8000 with Win 6.5 ROM

you can hard reset before using this CSC files.

Use octan downloader and load onto your device.

Note:

1-Please Clean all Arabic Solution like Arabizer and other arabic pack before using this CSC (You can hard reset your device)

2-Please bakcup of your device content before using

3-Use only with WIN 6.5 Roms

Thank you very much, will it give farsi&arabic type/read support only? because i like every other thing to stay in english.

thanx again

Thanks mahdiit. the csc contains farsi keyboard, but after analyzing csc config files i knew how to mod the csc from official arabic rom to get only effy arabization (without actual arabization for programs and widgets).

Ok so my friend rooted his droid x and said he had it rooted for 10 minutes, then he said he deleted somthing he shouldn't have and he totally bricked his phone. So he brought it to me and asked if i could fix it so after about 6 days of having the phone i got around to fixing it. I had to do a ton of stuff but i finally got it working. Well instead of finding out if i fixed it or not, he went and put a claim on it and said it was lost. And so he got a new one for 100$, well my wife has verizon but i have sprint but she loves this phone so i was wondering if anyone out there knows how to get this thing unlocked. Anything would be apprieciated. No this is not stolen! I will explain step by step what i did to get this thing unbricked.

Donate it as a dev phone. It may not be stolen, but it is flaggged in the Verizon system. You won't ever be able to use it on their network. You may be able to use it on another carrier, like Cricket, but that's gonna be about it.

is this phone capable of getting unlocked to use on the tmobile network?
