[Galaxy S I9000 General] AXIS of Reality:
Agreed. I was on XXJM1 (rev3) + Voodoo and it seems quite laggy and buggy. Scrolling through lists is stuttery, and often results in my accidentally selecting an item because it can pause.

And yes, this is with OCLF installed.

Testing LauncherPro, ADW and Zeam there's something quite strange. Sometimes, the run just as fast and fluid as on JM1 + Voodoo. This may happen for several minutes, and gives me hope of JPM + Voodoo being much better. However, for the vast majority of the time it become unbearably slow and jerky when going between homescreens or selecting things.

These moments of perfect speed seem entirely random.

I'm afraid the Froyo benefits for me are so far not worth these issues, so I'm restoring to JM1 Rev3.

I have heard JPA may be much faster than JPM/JP6 though....?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TNStrangelove:
Upgraded the firmware this morning, and the phone feels much MUCH faster. The lag is still there in places but even then not as bad. Feels like a very smooth experience 90% of the time.

Bear in mind I haven't tried using a lagfix so I can't tell you if it's as fixed as the Voodoo (or others) fix. I suspect it isn't but it is a vast improvement.

I haven't tried the GPS yet.

Overall I'm pleasantly surprised, from early reports people were giving I was expecting far less improvement in speed.

Official Froyo issues

Hi There

I updated my phone through Kies and got version: I9000XXJPM build FROYO.XWJP6

I did a factory reset so marked would appear and so I could start on a fresh.

Everything seems to be working okay, but my email client (not GMAIL), lags a lot, and I’m unable to delete mails using IMAP. When I delete a message and refresh, the mail just appears again. This worked on Android 2.1update1.

I tried to root my phone, hoping I could fix the lag issue, but I can’t make the 3 bottom download mode trick work. Then I looked at this fix http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=785201 but got stock at step 5 and 6. I don’t know what to do and where.

Does anyone else have problems with the email client using exchange and imap? Can you guys delete imap messages?

And regarding the root issue: I only need this, so I can change my default homescreen to number 3, so if there’s a better way to do this, please help. And also if it can fix the email problems.

Thanks

-Michael

[Galaxy S I9000 General] ghosty_uk:
right guys its not looking good,

my sumation of JPM,

rom itself is faster, new touch's here and there make it look nicer, the lag compared to JM1 is almost none existent, as said by another user, there is still some lag but talking a few seconds at most not 10-15 as with JM1.

now the biggie, the GPS.

what can i say i never had any real issues with locking on etc when standing still, and for the most part it now seems to keep a lock-on while moving as well.

the lbs test menu seems to have gone ? ? ? , so i had to use gps test to see what the satalites were doing, and it was nice to se it obtain as fast a lock as JM1, in fact it achieved something abit better as it managed to lock onto and hold 2 sats under 20 SNR, one at 14 SNR the other at 10 SNR.

on an actual in motion test, my tracks seems to have a serious issue as it keeps telling me im teleporting from one location to the next etc, and missed off the end of my travels, so on the way back i thought id test google navi - how can i put this nicely it is fukced, in a major way, it managed to do about 5 yrd before it started jumping to nearby streets, on reobtaining a lock it was about 250yrd behind where i actually was, telling my to turn right at a roundabout i had long since passed, and then trying to reroute me to a longer route than was needed as i got closer to home (some 1.2 miles, out of my way), if this is how samsung call the gps fixed, i'd hate to see there definition of broken.

i for one am extreamly pissed about this as this update (all be it not quite the release date but supposedly official) was supposed to fix these little glitches, and in fact it has made them a hell of alot worse.

i will e emailing samsung directly, with my findings (althought i dont expect them to do anything about it, bar the usual crap response), and let them know exactly what i think of this new firmware. im also going to leave a nice message on there facebook page so everyone on there can see it also.

RANT OVER.

I'm also on JP6, upgraded with KIES.

Is anyone else experiencing massive increase in network traffic??? I killed all apps with "advanced task manager", but the traffic just kept on going. Consumed 95% of my monthly quota in one night :D ...

My prime suspect is the exchange sync, it's behaving very strange (re-syncing all the time even though I have it on manual sync)..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mvenneker:
i will test GPS more today. if i get any different results: positive or negative i will post it

ps: can anyone tell me how to clear the cache? ive been looking around in applications but i cant seem to find the option to clear anything.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] huxflux2003:
My only problem is the browser performance, which is awful.

Lag is ok without lagfix and almost inexistant with OCLF. Voodoo will be even better. Every software based device (especially if it can be loaded with third-party/custom applications) experiences lag sometimes.

I can live with the GPS. It is accurate enough for my guidance use. I don't plan to control a cruise missile with it.

Hey! I've flashed JPM and got problem with FLAC. After few seconds of play, phone went into black screen with no response. Only restart helps. Same with JP6 :-( Could someone confirm this bug? Or has anyone solution for this? Thank you!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] :
Update with factory reset and complete re-install off all apps.

Works as good or better than the JPC I had prior.

One notable thing. I used to have lot more apps that could be moved to SD but now, even though I have installed the same apps plus a couple more I only have seven that can be moved.

Anyone else notice this?

[Galaxy S I9000 General] markdj57:
After updating to 2.2 via Kies (the registry edit fix) everything seemed ok but there was lag in scrolling the installed apps and the Android Market was missing.

I can confirm that after do a Full reset, the lag disappeared and the Market app was available again.

Thankfully, I had the AppBrain app installed so I just went online and copied my list of previously installed apps to the new sync list and now all my apps (almost) are back on and working.

So far, everything is running fine.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] carlo.ldp:
anyone experience problems with RAM? With Eclair I had more then 200MB free. With Froyo less than 170MB. Is it normal?

I also use Task Killer but some application will start again in few seconds..

I find that device speed is generally worster than previous version JM3 :(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] darkoroje:
The lag is small after a fresh install but gets worse over time. Whether it is due to the nature of RFS or just a bug in Samsung's code I don't know but fortunately lag fixes work and improve performance considerably.

The GPS unfortunately has not improved from JPK. I 've had exactly the same experience as you. It gets a lock but when driving it loses lock and is not reliable. Unfortunately it is now looking almost certain that this is a hardware problem of some kind, otherwise Samsung would have fixed it by now. Samsung will probably never come clean about the true nature of the GPS problems since any admission of a hardware fault would cost them a lot.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Cooki3s:
Finally decided to take the dive and downloaded the "dutch service centre" froyo, since it includes the XENJP2 CSC and not the Nordish one. Rest is the same (JP6 PDA, JPM MODEM). I'm happy with the froyo features and the phone seems snappier overall, yet the lag is still present when I'm doing some multi-tasking :( .

Like the others said, the gps is still bad. Wait, it's not bad, it's horrible! While driving around in the car, google maps navigation showed us on parallel roads or even as much as 25 meters down a side-road. While we were on, or close to, a crossroad, we just jumped between the roads every 5 seconds or so till we were about 50 meters away from it. This is totally unacceptable as the app has to recalculate the road each time, and while it's doing that, we're obviously without guidance.

I made a track using my tracks to show it, hope it comes through, if you can't see it, I'll upload a screenshot. You can clearly see the confusion at crossroad, us "driving through buildings on the side of the road" and the many times it just lost signal...

My tracks map:

http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF&msa=0&msid=115629363108952678816.000492bb2d7025951040e

Real route:

http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF&msa=0&msid=115629363108952678816.000492bb45ddf97401756

I'm afraid this update just proves that samsung is not capable of fixing the issues. Sure they changed some colours around and added some buttons, but maybe they should have contacted the devs here @ xda instead to have some voodoo in their froyo...

I'm lucky I don't really need the gps myself, but I feel sorry for the people who bought this (partially) because of the gps

Try pressing the down arrow, you should get a small pop up window of the contact, then press the photo or where a photo of the contact would normally be, that should pop up another small window with a list of numbers for the contact.

[HELP] Froyo on Spanish I9000 Movistar

Just updated to Froyo(JPM) using the registry hack with Kies.

Had to make a factory reset because the phone was randomly vibrating and slow and unresponsive. After the reset the phone seems slightly more responsive than with the JM1.

Now I'm facing that, as this is the Northern European release, it doesn't have an Spanish Swype keyboard!! XD

Can anyone tell me how to install more languages for the new Swype keyboard?

Thanks in advance ppl!

Answering myself, I would need a Froyo compatible multi CSC. Anyone knows starting in witch versions should I try?

Note: The updated Froyo version comes with I900XEEJP4 so I would be great to get a multi CSC(OXA or XEC) version JP4.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] seltaeb:
Seems ok so far

I upgraded to JPM via Kies (using the registry hack) and all is fine, except a few teething problems that I encountered -

1. Exchange mail stopped working ("Connection Error"). The mail client also prompted me regarding server side security policies (remote wipe etc) which needed to be accepted. However, one reboot later the "Connection Error" issue resolved itself.

2. My APN settings were missing and had to be manually entered.

3. The phone was somewhat unresponsive immediately after upgrade (especially while scrolling and zooming in-out), but a data wipe and reload fixed that.

Now for the good part -

1. The GPS is definitely working better for me. For the first time, I managed to get a lock inside my apartment (near a window though) - 20 mtrs accuracy. Need to do a road test-drive tomorrow.

2. It's nice to have Flash support in the browser, videos on Metacafe etc seem to work perfectly.

3. I haven't noticed any lag (even without a lag-fix), but let's see how well it continues to work after a few days.

Cheers!

Ive got JPM running on my phone and the gps is excellent on my galaxy i have done a couple of trips of around 90+ miles and it hasnt missed a beat but then again ive had my phone for around 7 months and i have never had any issues with the gps whatsoever and i use the gps a lot .

The only issue i ever had was with the compass which is very erratic and still is !

Observations so far

Model: I9000 international euro version running on Att network in Southern california

Coming from:

PDA: I9000XWJFB

Phone/CSC: I9000XXJF5

OCLF applied

Avg Satellite Viewed/Used:4-7/3-5

Max GPS accuracy ~32ft

Upgrade Process

Factory wipe back to stock, cache cleared, than update through KIES

Now at JPM, stock

Results:

PROS:

GPS

- driving for over an hour running "GPS Test" throughout....quicker lock than before, consistently viewed 7-10 satellites, using 5-9 satellites. Accuracy from 16-98ft, averaging ~32ft 85% of the time. SNR 25-37 Avg ~30

i) An improvement from before in: Viewed/Locked satellites(+3.5) and accuracy

ii) I did a side by side comparison with a Verizon Fascinate(Galaxy S) and it had a Max GPS accuracy of 9ft. I was hoping Samsung could get the I9000 to that level but I've yet to see +40SNR on any satellites and suspecting that it may be hardware related (intolerant batch of GPS chips perhaps?)

Overall feel and responsiveness

- Improved feel and responsiveness coming from a user who consistently has 100+ apps

Other

- Swype improved text select entry point

- Flash browser support

- Smoother transitional affects

CONS

- Browser: double tap for quick-zoom and auto-format text width for mobile view removed (perhaps bc of the Flash support and the browser doesn't know what to do with the flash content in context with text on a page)

- Some FCs I wasn't experiencing before

- Possible phone reception sensitivity issues

- I used to be able to use Samsung Messaging with Handcent. I liked samsung's messaging list because I could get gtalk status, quick slide left to Call, quick slide right/tap to Handcent TXT. Now, "quick slide right/tap" can't default to use Handcent.

Pros/Cons depending on how you look at it:

- Missing every 3rd(English-US) letter in Contact Address Book scrollable index list. Easier on the eyes. Maybe the thought was to change user perception and their usage of using the side letter scroll list to browse to the general area of their contact list versus getting to the exact letter area. Samsung might have been getting too many complaints from people fat fingering and not being able read the side area clearly. Or maybe changed to make it easier to adapt for alphabets greater or less than 26 characters. who knows... doesn't really bother me.

Theres confirmation of the same happening to someone else in that thread. And its not limited to that link for me, its happened on xda too. And sometimes theres a series of vibrates before it happens.

Same thing happens to me. I flashed to JP6 this morning using the registry hack. I'm on an unbranded phone using Vodafone. So far things look good, gps seems a lot better, I like the new text selection and cursor movement helper, flash played well on the seesaw tv site (but not on some other sites).

I can't seem to get anywhere with voice actions (although this may be user trouble as I haven't spent much time on it) and the phone doesn't seem all that much quicker. Still this is only day 1 so I'll have to wait and see how things are after a few days.

So is everything still quite laggy? I'm still using jf3. With voodoo on its own its fine but still stalls, only with autokiller set to aggressive does it seem to have no issue of lag. This leads me to believe that the problem with lag has as much to do with RAM than it does with the file system.

I had read that there is "missing" ram on the sgs, has anyone figured out why or if we would ever be able to regain that ram? Is this "ram problem" fixed in froyo? Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TravUK:
Like others have noted, GPS is a steaming pile of stink on JPM.

For those that sit in their apartment and claim how great it is when they get a lock from the cupboard under the stairs, that's nice, but try getting in the car. As you drive towards Paris, the GPS wanders off towards Berlin.

More seriously, I don't need to reset the thing any more, but the lock is appalling, it bounces around all over the place while driving. This is not the GPS you'd want to be relying on in a crunch.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dakine:
Then maybe it's time to take some action on the issue since Samsung clearly is not owning up to its responsibility. Maybe we should setup a central point that collects tracks and other proof documenting the issue. With enough evidence proving how widespread and serious the malfunction is we might be able to either force a recall or take legal action. Would it be possible to create something like a wiki that could collect that info?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ghosty_uk:
how true are these words, VERY. travuk good to see you posting even if it is under bad cercumstances.

well im more than happy to post tracks, good or bad. and display my results, now i know how to edit the maps to show the actual route i should have taken.

one thing i would like clarifing first, is MY TRACKS, what data does it actually use, i get it takes the gps data, but could it be that my tracks is not calibrating propely, hence the out of sync, errors on fast corners etc, we need to establish if this progam were using is bullit proof, that way should legal action be taken, it cant be dismissed as programming errors.

as for google navi, how hard would it be for them to i dont know say after its plotted the route to force the arrow to stick to that marked out route, wouldn't that stop it wandering all over the place ? ? ? , and only re-route if you are at a known corner of said route taking a different turn (i know what i mean, even if its not clear on here).
