[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Patsecord:
this version cannot be upgraded

I'm Bell in Ottawa. When i connect my to Kies and go to upgrade option it says this (JH2) cannot be upgraded. Anybody with the same problem ? Anybody with a solution.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Videonut:
Download Kies Registry Patcher, set Spoof=True, Provider=BMC, Click Write Registry then go into Kies and the upgrade will be avilable to you.

can't get a proper lock with stock 2.2 (upgraded through kies). tried various settings as well. the gps on 2.1 worked better; it may not have always been accurate, but at least I could get a lock...

GPS lock

Yesterday after update got fast lock on 7 satellites, today, after factory reset I'm seeing satellites but very intermittent lock. Must be cloudier tonight >> nope, just got 5 so it was taking its time.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3rdcoast:
So does this nail the theory that the GPS hardware is crap? Mine went back and forth between being usable and being too slow to be practical. "Hold on a few minutes honey, I have to wait for GPS lock". Roms do seem to make a difference but you'd think they would have placed special focus on this.

To that, mine got the SD corruption and turned to brick on the night before the update hit. So mine is back for repair or swap for the 3rd time. I won't know for two weeks at least.

Meanwhile I'm back to an old HTC. And guess what, it simply works. No lag is making up for being half as fast. The GPS works much better than the Galaxy did even on a good day. I miss the big screen and CPU but this little thing is a lot better than I thought it would be. Why the Galaxy continues to get such high marks is beyond me. Specs mean little when it has so many other problems.

You might need to go into the registry and be sure that the phone type is i9000M and not i9000

Look around

In USA with Bell i9000m running JG8

Hello Guys,

I am new to this forum and android community. I just purchased this phone from person in California and it was already unlocked for use. However I would like to update to froyo. What is the best route to get to froyo! :) Also, if I get froyo, will I need to find a way to unlock it again? I dont even know if I have lagfix installed on this phone because I see people are having big issues upgrading with it.

Can anybody help?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarkI9000:
Silly question, but do you notice any lagging with 2.2?

More/less than with 2.1?

Haven't done any upgrades yet to my 2.1

Is anybody having any problems with their update to Froyo?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] climb:
I've had 2.2 for a few days on my Bell Galaxy S

So far I love:

the text caret ui element that lets you easily select text and move the cursor

having flash has been really useful on a couple occasions

auto-rotate toggle in the top drawer

it's nice to turn off 3g data by holding the power button (Data network mode)

the battery seems to last longer

Chrometophone is really cool (and useful!)

What I don't like:

The phone feels slower. Could be because

I used to have the voodoo lagfix installed under 2.1 and haven't re-applied it under Froyo; or

I didn't do a factory reset after upgrading

it can be annoying to interact with a flash-heavy page (and sometimes painful to try to get a video to play in the youtube player instead of inline)

I haven't yet rooted the phone, nor applied a lag fix. I'm waiting to see how it goes for everyone else first :p
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] climb:
I decided to root the phone (SuperOneClick by ShortFuse), then run the following speed-ups from RyanZA's OCLF app:

Alter minfree

Change Scheduler

I used the recommended settings for both of those.

The phone is snappier! I'm still going to hold off installing a lag fix, but for now I'm pretty happy :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lokks:
How long have you had this set up?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Patsecord:
Well that's it my phone has gone back to Samsung (via Bell) for repairs. All i did was change the bat (yes i did wait for that last vibration before pulling the bat) and the phone went back to factory settings. Then it kept popping up force close messages (sometimes a lot). I did a factory reset and even format the internal card ...same thing. After that it just would not boot past the logo splash screen. I think it's bricked. :( I phoned Samsung and the guy tells me that i should not change the bat so often, that it was better to plug the phone in then to change the bat. For a phone that is such a bat pig that is not very convenient. This is the second time i take it in and the supervisor at Bell said she was going to email Samsung to see if i can get a new one...and good luck with that. I'm beginning to think that i may have made a mistake going for this phone. Twice in the shop in less then 4 months..not good.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3rdcoast:
Oh my, sounds like mine. Mine is currently at Bell which itself was tricky since I bought the phone outright and don't use Bell. Tip, I use it as a "tablet" ;) and I sweet talked my way into a good experience with them. I shouldn't have to go through this however.

But damn, two trips back to Bell and two factory resets in 4 months is too much.

Here's what I'm going to ask next time and before my warranty is up; by then the phone is never going to last so I want a Tab or Nexus or something that actually works. I'll pay them $50 max for a direct swap. I won't commit to a contract, I want to walk away and simply use it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] climb:
I've had this exact set-up with Froyo for just over a day. I was using those tweaks on 2.1 for a couple months (in addition to the Voodoo lag fix)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neiu:
Maybe we should start putting together a class action lawsuit for all users who have bricked their phones because of the firmware upgrade. Ridiculous if you ask me that this is a mass issue and bell is also charging $25 for a loaner because of it.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fablife:
connecting to Vista

Hi All,

I recently updated to froyo (Bell Stock) - all is well however I noticed now that when I connect my vibrant to my Vista computer the device says its connected to Kies, however it does not appear to be connected at all. I get the "connected to kies, press the homekey to quite" screen but I am not able to see my device in my computer or in windows media player.

I did a hard reset and it fixed the issue, but now its back again.

has anyone else experienced this?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Patsecord:
The Bell store manager where i sent my SGS to be fixed says that in two days she has received 7 SGS with the same problem. She said that the rumor is that Samsung are not fixing them but replacing them. Also heard that Samsung has pulled the 2.2 update for Bell Vibrant.

Bell telling me need Proof of Purchase?

Anyone running into this?

I have a Bell SGS Vibrant, bricked due to the internal memory issue. I don't have a Bell contract, and the store is telling me I need a proof of purchase to send it in. (garbage.. its obviously in warranty, it hasn't been out for a year)

I didn't buy from Bell, and the buy on Kijiji didn't provide a reciept lol.

Anyone have luck calling Samsung direct for a service???

Let me know your service success stories...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hiwiredjuice:
No that is right the only way you can send it back is with the bell dealer. I went through a lot of trouble and couple days on the phone to find this out but the only way for warranty is through the bell store with original receipt.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t1mman:
If you go on an official bell world (not a franchise) you might get it sent out, they have access to all the informations with the IMEI.

If you are in Mtl, there's a post for the Samsung repare center there, some users had success going straight there.

Can you tell me 2 informations:

What is the build date behind the battery (something like 10.08)

How long did the phone lasted before failing?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seeARMS:
That's not true. You're able to send it directly into Samsung. See this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=871592

All we need is the I9000m modem file. Don't need the Bell rom, it will be the same as the rest just with Bell junk on it. The Bell rom will only serve useful as the "rom to install prior to sending your device in for repair". The cooked roms available here will greatly out perform any Samsung roms IMO.

The good thing is that if Nexus S is tru and it is the same hardware with Galaxy S

then the updates will be extended well beyong of Bell's vision.

Google will be supporting Nexus S and maybe after minor modifications will be having

Also dont forget that I dont think Google will use the RFS. All these problems will be gone

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t1mman:
It shouldn't delete everything, but you SHOULD hard reset before and after the update, and hard reset erases everything.

Hard reset will prevent weird behavior or weird bug (nothing like installing on fresh)

Although you can chose the 850 band in the service menu, I could not actually get a signal on the 850 band so I ended up downgrading. Not worth the upgrade if you cant get a good signal inside a building. I would just wait for the official release.

If you go to samsungmobile.com, where the ROM is supposed to be available at 8pm, it is for all regions EXCEPT North America which you need to be redirected to samsung.ca or com.

I dont think it's going to fix my crapshoot GPS so I'm not holding my breath for 2.2. Besides, it would mean I'd have to back everything up and hard reset then load it back up. I'm too lazy today for that.
