Yeah, OK...I'll wait til mid November, only a couple of weeks away...

Until then, what can I do to get the best/accurate/most reliable 2.1 (UNBRANDED) that will still work 100% on the 2100/850MHz bands? I want to be able to delete ALL the crap that is apparently "system locked" apps from the phone...

i have i9000t latin america versión

and i have made this flash "[HOWTO] Froyo FW I9000XXJPM: Upgrade via Odin, Root, Recovery 2e, Lagfix!"

with a unlocked csc from canada

first of all I made a backup with the rom manager, because i cannot find anywhere the galaxy s firmware of my t model

maybe you can do the same

so whats the optus ones? just i9000? funnily enough im on jg3 with optus.. where as the op is on jh3.. my phone was also delivered in mid oct 2010.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] roosta:
So maybe I'll just try rooting the phone to de-brand it (keeping on 2.1) then when a stable official froyo 2.2 comes out, hopefully MID NOV, just update to that?

[Galaxy S I9000 General] roosta:
Rooted the phone using auto method from the tutorial on these boards with ease, installed Titanium Backup which downloaded the latest or most compatable busybox (1.16 for me). I have managed to delete some "locked" apps, but a lot of Telstra's BIGPOND apps remain (downloads, movies, sport, etc) - they are much harder to find when browsing the list appLIST in TBackup - I jsut got the free version, but impressed with how much easier it has been to customise even still, as a branded phone.

@roosta...im a noob, plz can u tellme the step to step guide i soo wanna get rid of telstra apps and i wanna completely debrand the telstra galaxy s phone without installing any lag fixs like voodoo etc, i just want to instal the original eclairs or froyo from samsung for its galaxy s i9000, but im not sure how to go about because i have the 850mhz next g galaxy s from telstra. Can you help me , thanks in advance
[Galaxy S I9000 General] roosta:
Hi mate, as the reply I made above states, i used the galaxy S "root" tutorial,. i havent debranded hthe phone, but i have been granted rights or access to delete specific apps I dont want, so follow that. I won't FULLY debrand the phone only because I havent got the telstra stock firmware to download and REINSTATE at a later date (if i needed to for warranty purposes)

[Galaxy S I9000 General] sub7er:

[Galaxy S I9000 General] glennr:
Hi mate,

Is there any chance you can upload your stock rom, I stupidly flashed my i9000t without fully understanding the 850mhz network and now I am stuck with a custom rom and no way to access the nextG network.

If there is a way and I just missed something, please let me know.

Kindest regards,
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ickyboo:
All you need to do is root the phone which you did, and then get hold of Titanium Backup. Use that to uninstall the junk that Telstra pre-installed. But before you do anything use Titanium to make a full Backup just in case. From what I gather your phone is exactly the same as the American AT&T captivate so whatever roms/fixes they use you can use on your phone. If you notice a lot if not all phones from AT&T usa work fine on telstra as they both use 850mhz (NexG rebranding) while the rest of the world like Optus/voda/whoever uses 900mhz. 850mhz is actualy better as it penetrates walls and buildings better but problem is that only 3 Telcos that i know use it is AT&T, Vodafone NZ and Telstra so they can be expensive for data. But on a better note you can use your phone on any network as it also has 2100mhz(very congested) 3G too.

Hey Roost,

Just wanted to check in and see whether you had any luck mate? As far as the GTalk thing goes I had absolutely no idea about that, but sounds like your only choice here is to flash back to stock Telstra 2.1 and then redo your modifications and reflash to your custom ROM.

I agree with you completely in that the delay for Telstra updates is ridiculous, but this has always been the case. Even right back to WinMo 6.5 on the TP2 and TD2, they've always been three or four months behind the trend. To best of my knowledge there's still no news on Froyo yet, which is just ****ful.

I'll keep checking your post to see if you turn anything up. Hopefully you do and it's manageable. Good luck mate.

Hey all,

Just updating: As per another thread on this board - Telecom NZ have released Froyo 2.2 available via kies. Using registry, i spoofed Kies into thinking my phone was i9000T from NZ, so have since updated to 2.2 wiuth no issues;

For me, no lag fix needed, swype works perfectly, all gps/maps work fine with accuracy and 850 band fully functional. I'd also recommend doing this ahead of Tesltra AU since i've gone from about 15+ useless LOCKED system banded apps to TWO on Telecom NZ; one being internet and the other for 'account status', so very happy with the recent update...

[Galaxy S I9000 General] auldar:
I think TNZ have pulled their 2.2, at least that's the last update I read a few days ago.

I've got an I9000T as well, and am on Telstra. I've flashed Docs V4 JPU ROM and it's working great on the 850 band.

So it looks like the JPU CSC does support the NextG frequencies :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gmckenzie82:
Do you think you might be able to list some of the useless telstra branded apps you removed? im having trouble knowing whats what the way its itemised and named in Titanium Backup.

auldar could you link to the ROM you are using at please.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] auldar:
I don't think it's available on the thread anymore, but I was using V4 of Doc's ROM here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=817703

It was based on JPU.. His ROM has since been updated to JPX, and I'm sure will soon be JPY now that it's released..

If my phone worked fine with JPU and JPX and JPY are just refinements, I can't see why they wouldn't work on the 850 band..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ickyboo:
So far you have been lucky, Sometimes roms update the modem files too which disables 850. I rememeber reading someplace people had to find old modems and flash it. No big deal. But the real question is are you ACTUALLY using 850? As 2100mhz is still being used on Telstra. You'll have to find some service codes to see what radio is on in some of the 9000T threads. But anyways if its working for you then enjoy it :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gmckenzie82:
so what ROM would you guys recommend for a Telstra SGS? That Doc ROM? or is there something better?

Sorry im still learning things here, and can only read so much, sometimes its better to ask :)

Hey mate,

I also purchased a Telstra branded Galaxy. Wiped everything Telstra from it by rooting. I am running 2.2.1 firmware version

Baseband - 19000XXJPY

Kernel Version 2.6.32.9 Hardcore@speedmod-k12f-500HZ #74

Everything Telstra-wise works fine except for the fact they 'know' that you have somewhat modded the phone and I cannot access/downlaod Bigpond Apps/Games or view video via the Bigpond site. Big whoop. Better apps and games to be found out there without Telstra ripping you off and charging you every which way they can.

Hello, I am writing this on a Vibrant, I am using it until the HD7 launches, only thing is, as I use it I say " oh I'm gonna miss that".

Is anyone regretting the switch? Are you happy you switched?

However, it can be just like Android, where they boast about numbers and the majority of the apps are pure garbage.... help me out please and thank you.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prjkthack:
As I recall, the context-sensitive toolbar at the bottom of the screen is the equivalent of Android's "Menu" button. And what's in that menu/toolbar is dependent on the application developer. Its not that you are missing these 'extra settings', its that the application developer has not created any extra settings for you to play with.

Some apps will have tons of settings, some won't have any. Its the same with Android apps. You've just gotta wait for the developer to add these extra settings (if they even want to).

Yeah it's like iOS, it only shows settings when there are settings, and menus when menus are needed only it looks better than iOS

If you pre-ordered it over the phone you'll have to call, if you bought at the store just walk in and tell 'em what's going on.

I am 9 days in on my fourth G2 and until this morning i believed I had a keeper. By a pure twist of luck I did not have to get up at 5:30 am so as to arrive at the tennis courts to give lessons. Upon arising at 7:20 am I found that my battery had gone from 100% to 1% and turned itself off. The phone was in standby when I retired to bed and had not been used the entire night.. Obviously the alarm had not gone off and the phone was unusable. Upon plugging it into a charger it still would not boot up. After waiting 15 minutes and letting it charge I tried again and it did boot up and showed 60% of battery. I have never ever had a battery charge to 60% in just 15 minutes. Upon checking battery usage I found the following: Android system 27% Shop Savvy 23% voice calls 35% Display 11% phone idle 4%. I had not made a phone call and had not launched any apps. I certainly had not used Shop Savvy and the display had been off. I have noticed recently that upon waking the phone up I would be running various apps which I had not launched. I use my cell as my alarm so I cannot keep it if it is not dependable or is acting erratically. Has anyone else had this scenario happen? I have been reluctant to give up on this phone but after 4 units all with issues I guess its decision time. NOTE it just dropped 19 % in less than 3 minutes while in standby, with no apps being launched by me and the phone just sitting there in sleep mode. Just tried to access the market and no go. I am experiencing only G or E where I normally have good 3G or H. Perhaps this is T Mobile and not the phone but this happens way too much and does not occur with my Vibrant or Nexus One.
