Hello friends,

Something really strange has happend today, I connected my SGS to KIES and got a message saying "new firmware upgrade available"... You all can guess what was my first thought.

But no, it wasn't Froyo ,it was the same firmware that I previously had??? I really don't get what's going on, I live in Mexico, my phone was bought on UK online, and my phone CSC is from TMN (Portugal).

Not using any custom firmware, I have only rooted and installed voodoo lagfix, absolutely nothing else.

Any one else having same "upgrade" available?

By the way, this is the upgrade:

Model Name: GT-I9000

Current Version: PDA:JM8 / Phone:JM4 / CSC:JM1

Latest Version: PDA:JM8 / Phone:JM4 / CSC:JM1

Just wanted to let you know about this since I didn't found anything related in the forums today.

Cheers
[Galaxy S I9000 General] t1mman:
I got exactly the same thing :|

Only this is a canadian SGS on canadian soil, no reg was done and it's all just the same JH2 all over the place :|

Minor fix maybe?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] shreeindia:
I confirm the same in India but should we upgrade or not??????
[Galaxy S I9000 General] smcshaw:
Same here in the UK.

PDA:JM1 / PHONE:JM1 / CSC:JM1 and I'm offered the same thing...

Really To update or not to update, that is the question...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gtluis:
I tried to upgrade, but my workplace's firewall keeps blocking download...

maybe it's some kind of minor update before being able to move to froyo?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] shreeindia:
tried it again and now it says latest version is installed
[Galaxy S I9000 General] smcshaw:
Very strange. Same here.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gtluis:
That is strange, sounds like a false alarm... or some kind of testing from Samsung.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] shreeindia:
testing i suppose

Got this as a work phone a few weeks back, am on the Bell network in Canada. I had the same upgrade message this morning, and did upgrade.

Do not see of feel anything different, if anyone has any specific info they want me to search on the phone - let me know

Regards

GT-I9000HKDXEU e GT-I9000HKDITV donìt work
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Deleted member 804010:
FWIW and should anyone be interested

As noted - have had the phone for about three weeks now, and it is a bone stock phone - being used on the Bell Network. I grabbed the details from the phone, as after a few hours of use, the unit does appear to be much more responsive and "quick". This of course could just be a placebo effect.

Model: GT-I9000M

Firmware: 2.1 update 1

Baseband: I9000UGJH2

Kernel: 2.6.29 darae.ahn@sep-20 #2

Build: Eclair.UGJH2

I did not catalog the details before the upgrade - so do not know if anything has been changed.

Regards,
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gtluis:
I don't think much has changed on your phone details, maybe you just got some system files overwritten. Did your phone language change after installing update? ,or did you loose any configuration you had previously set?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] daft.71:
Doesn't KIES basically nuke the phone and put the new firmware over, minus the internal and external SDs? As in you lose your apps and configs?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Deleted member 804010:
All installed apps were gone - all email settings, etc were gone as well. Seemed like a new flash, had to reset my Google account info as well.

language did not change

Regards,
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gtluis:
when I updated from JM1 to JM8 through KIES I didn't loose anything, my phone kept all apps, and configurations, but my language and other configurations got lost...

Seems like you flashed "same" firmware again, hopefully a better than you previously had, your phone's performance improvement might be due to loosing all apps.

Apart from that, everything is the same? did you loose any carrier customization? or get new apps you didn't had before?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Val3r10:
What's the status you received ?

No update available or this device couldn't be updated ?

I guess it's somewhat different...

Thanks

I had same offer on kies few weeks ago.. but only with “test mode on“... on the latest version of kies im not able turn test mode on anymore..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ilbulgaro89:
with XEU Kies give me only JM1
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Deleted member 804010:
Everything is the same - did not loose any carrier customization, no new apps. As noted, it does "seem" a bit quicker, and I do not think the two apps I had installed make the difference ( APNDroid and Vizbattery widget ) I have since re-installed the two apps, and the phone feels just as quick.

The one complaint I had from the start was the low volume on the ear piece for incoming calls. At full volume - I was having trouble hearing the people on the other end. That appears to be a bit better. I will keep an eye on that - as noted, has been my number one complaint to date.

Regards,

PS - doubt anything has really changed - probably just the fact of an update makes me think it is different / better in some way.

Anybody know how to put animated flip clock on The New Guy Rom
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] NilsP:
If I remember correctly it is an EVO based ROM so it will probably not work. It won't hurt to try it just do a NAND backup just in case.

any way to animate fancy widget so it actually FLIPS, like the new desire HD clock?

If someone can walk me through it or something, ill try it myself.

Thanks
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] wes342:
you can get them to work if im not mistaken but there are steps (cant remember if animated ones work or just the non animated ones)

before you flash you have to have the clock widget on home screen

then flash it in recovery

you cant remove widget or it wont be modded anymore and you will have to do this all again.

I work in a large warehouse where I get great signal on the docks around the buildings perimeter but nothing in the aisles. my phone is dying every day while searching for signal. is there a way to change the frequency at which it looks for towers? or am I stuck with putting it in airplane mode and getting yelled at by the old lady for leaving it on and missing her texts?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FIT-Performance:
Menu->Settings->Wireless & Networks->Mobile Networks->Roaming->Sprint Only

Won't go on any other network and instead will connect when you have a Sprint tower to connect to. So no service and no battery drain while in the aisles, connects and gets texts when on docks and perimeter.

If she has a problem with it ask the old lady if she wants to be able to text you every couple of hours or have you stranded with a dead phone. Then tell her to get back in the kitchen.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drmacinyasha:
In all seriousness, one option is do forced roaming, which will make your phone connect only to the 850MHz Sprint/Verizon signals. You won't have 3G, and Google Voice won't connect incoming calls (if you even use it), but you will get better reception.

If you have CyanogenMod, you can open the wireless settings, go to mobile networks, system select, and choose "Affiliated Networks".

On Sense ROMs, the ability to force-roam isn't built in, but there are apps which will let you do so in the Market.

Hello there,

The Streak has a large enough screen for note taking, and I am wondering if there is a decent inking app out there. Any recommendations are appreciated.

Cheers,

Fernando
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] undrwater:
Hey Fernando,

Were you thinking of doing this with your fingers? Or do you have a stylus? Something I'm definitely interested in as well.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] orinoco:
I was thinking of inking with a capacitive stylus, such as those being used by some with the iPad. One of them I have used and is quite good on the iPad is the one made by Boxwave.

http://www.boxwave.com/products/universalcapacitivestylusindex.htm

But we need a good app to make this work.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] Kohawk09:
MyScript. Didn't find this app after searching the market - maybe outside of the market? But this looks like it may be what you want? Just some little searching around (this interests me as well) and seems like there are several people working on handwritten text input... there may be more of a push for this (for android) once more tablets hit the market. If you think about it, most android devices are sub 5", so the demand probably isn't as high as it woudl be for for iOS (ipad) support.

Here's a video of it in action. Called MyScript

So last night I installed the new virtuous Rom and custom kernel from Rom manager bc its supposed to have great battery life, well after a full bump charge overnight my phone is already down 5% in just an hour. Anyone know what might be going on, should I find a new Rom/kernel combo?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dpwhitty11:
Are you sure you bump charged the right way?

Also, try the newest leaked HTC kernel.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XideXL:
For one, I believe the Virtuous posts states that since 3.1 is based off of a newer leak of sense, that the newest v4 stock kernel is recommended as the custom kernel is based off the previous release, so that may have some effect.

Secondly, is that really that bad? That comes out to about 20 hours of battery life, which is more than a lot of people get (with a stock battery at least). Of course, if you haven't been using it at all in that hour I guess that's a different story.

The tweaks for battery performance is it has perflock disabled so you can set custom profiles in SetCPU.

Title: Why my Galaxy S locks up?! (Comatose Syndrome on going investigation)

Section:Galaxy S i9000 Q&A

Basically limits reception to only 850 band. I have not comma'd since and have not IMO lost any reception quality. And it is reversible if it doesnt help.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Dusante:
My i9000M on JH2 does the same thing when I go into strange buildings that are likely shielding the signal, movie theaters, parkades, basements. I can predict when my phone will crash it's so consistent, but if I'm not in any signal attenuating areas my phone is fine for weeks without crashing. I'm in Calgary, I will try the "limiting to 850 band only" trick and see how it works:

If that doesn't work or I find my reception sucks, I'll work up the courage to try the experimental [BETA] SuperPower app and turn off 2G or something?

My phone crashed in the same places the same way before I did OCLF and root, so I doubt the lagfix is responsible for this; except maybe your phone is now faster and therefore finds more opportunities to crash? :P
[Galaxy S I9000 General] collin128:
Thanks, ill give those a try. I believe the lag fix was a seperate issue as the phone has been otherwise free of those smyptoms since I un-rooted.

After reading the posted thread, I've decided to disable my email (i use the gmail apply anyway) and keep wifi off. Ill test it for today and report back.

So I have an interesting story for all my fellow HD2 lovers.

I was in class today and I went to stand up, thinking my phone was in my pocket and NOT in my lap. Needless to say, it took a nice tumble and when it hit the ground, the noise was clearly audible. One student in the back of the class asked, "Who dropped a brick?"

I laughed, picked up my phone- scared to see what happened- and examined it. It has emerged unscathed and unshaken from this. I am more broken about the situation than it is.

I love you HD2! Glad I don't have an Evo.

-Hopefully they build HD7 with same quality.

I see the download icon in the notification bar, but then it never installs

I don't see anything at all, and it never installs
