[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DSF:
In short:

The new official froyo experience, the same ****ty "leaked" froyo experience.

Many people defend Samsung/Galaxy S because "it's a leaked release, you cannot comment on that". Now this is official. The performance issues weren't resolved.

First, got more than 170 apps. Official JPA flashed via Kies a few days ago. Didn't tried voodoo lag fix on JPA since I realized it doesn't fix the performance issues on JP6 (yeah, had too that placebo effect that.. but that's it)

So here we go (regarding the following list, it really doesn't matter if you have EXT4, RFS)

- pathetic browser perfomance

- same under performing flash (Steve Jobs was right.)

- not optimized app drawer (see for eg: helicopter view)

- laggy swype input in market (words appear character with character)

- when an app FC the whole system is unusable for a few good seconds (10-60+)

- apps (even small ones, few hundreds of KB) takes a lot of time to install and the phone starts to be sluggish in this time. This is NOT normal for an 1ghz phone.

- laggy google search (web suggestions deactivated, etc)

- no real improvement in terms of general performance from Froyo (2-5x speed boost via google false advertisements)

- more Wifi random disconnections than on Eclair

- even less RAM (304) in comparision to Eclair. This will affect dramatically multitasking if you use the browser. It happened so many times foreground/background programs to be closed. Android apps (Java in JVM) consumes a lot more RAM than natives one (eg: if we compare to Windows Mobile)

- device unusable/unresponsive when syncing gmail when you got a lot of emails (I've got around 1000)

Really dissapointed of this official Froyo s*it. I really like the Samsung UI customizations and its hardware (CPU, GPU, camera, speaker, display, etc) but the OS/platform in the actual implementation really sucks..

Haven't tested the GPS in this firmware so I cannot comment on that.

froyo+lagfix with problematic instalation of lagfix

1700 pkt and system speed is barely acceptable

so froyo that was installed on my phone yesterday is painfull experience ,

RyanZA's OCLF 2.2+ , rooted with use of different app suggested in OCLF thread, a bit complicated because of strange errors during ext2 instalation , "broken pipe" error for example,

anyway , rooted ,system cache wiped, OCLF installed, and is acceptable now but reffering to quadrant benchmark new system is slower than eclair+OCLF by 10-15% and is is visible
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] penfold:
well i just installed oclf on JPO to try it out, quadrant score 1900, the phone is flying, pretty much as it was on 2.1 with oclf, although my quadrant score then was 2350, but it feels pretty much just as fast.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jutezak:
Try a benchmark like 'caffeinemark' that tests program speed. It is 4 times as fast.

Of course the 3D has not improved. And I do not know what Quadrant does. It does some I/O test that takes a lot of time, and probably has some relationship to real life, but I think normal apps perform less I/O than quadrant.

Use benchmarks you can understand. But I agree, the I/O on the SGS is not so good. I'll keep hope, it is still a device that makes me happy.

Really?? :O
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DSF:
Thanks. Some reasons are:

- you get flash even it has a ****ty performance (me thinks has to do smth with android, a below half gigahertz symbian device may do a better job handling flash)

- auto rotation button in status bar which is very handy for me

- better input text selection

- better copy text from sites

- stereo fm radio

- more apps

One more extremely annoying thing:

- Got around 1000 emails on Gmail. Phone started to sync, I was in a game that time. The phone started to be extremely unresponsive. Actually unusable.. I've deleted the emails on PC, waited about 5-10 minutes, still the phone was unresponsive.. Turned off/on the phone. The phone still shuttered.. Disabled gmail sync, re-enabled..the same. Then I cleared data. I hardly could do those operations, phone laggin a lot.. Pathetic. Piece of unreliable android junk :mad:

This is the second time that this happen to me.

Poor Battery life

Upgraded my O2 UK galaxy s a few days ago, seems better than 2.1 in most respects, faster, no FC's, etc.

However the battery life is terrible in comparison to eclair. Same usage of voice, text and media, same installed apps (nothing extra running in the background) but a decrease from around 20 hours to around 12. Taken off charge each morning, it now dies on the way home from work if I'm staying late, as opposed to starting to moan about battery usage just before going to bed.

Overall a much better experience, just need to get the car charger out more often.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gonsa:
maybe you've got the gallery sensor motion issue.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bezeq:
Can`t say that i`m happy with froyo.

The battery usage is much more then 2.1, one day without using it, (of course everything turned off) battery used ~ 20% when in 2.1 in same time used less then 10%.

In my everyday use: 1 hour mp3, 1 hour video, 30 min talk time i had by the end of the day ~ 65-70% of battary, now with 2.2: 45-50%...

Speed of device i guess even slower then before, clicking on menu its open slow

(have only 3 games installed and wifi manager that all )

The gps always worked great so nothing to say about it.

If i open video in youtube in browser, the whole phone starting to lag like hell.

Will try factor reset, hope after it I will see the difference.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blubxd:
Have you ever thought about the possibility, that when installing new apps makes it unusable, it's the fault of the app, not hte firmware? Apps can influence the rest of the phone as well, not just be slow themselves.

I never EVER have any "lag" with my phone, unless I install the experimental mumble client - if I *start* that client, after a few seconds the phone becomes unusable, which only makes me think "java", "memory hog", "constant swapping" :P not that that's necessarily the case, but whatever... (unusable after closing it, too - wich again makes me think "java", "does it ever free memory?")

Maybe after playing angry birds for a while it takes a second to load back the rest of the system or something, but when using the phone normally, there's no lag...

I have 2.1 though. But I'll happily get back to you when the update is finally available for me.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] piemmmm:
You're not seeing Torque running because the Android battery monitor has a bug in applications that use System.exit(...) to exit. If you use System.exit() the battery monitor never realises the app has actually quit (it has actually properly quit at this point) and proceeds to nail that app as a high battery user.

Had a number of people complain about this, did some testing, realised it was a bug in android (it's not actually using any battery, the battery app is just hopeless at reporting usage levels when the bug gets triggered)

As a result, the System.exit() was removed so it only quits when android tells it to. As a result, no more high battery use winges from people seeing the bug in the battery monitor manifesting itself.

Hi there,

The last few days I used the GPS a lot, in combination with Google maps I had a Sat/fix in like 20 sec. and it proved for me to be very much stable. This combination I used in metropolitan area, lot fly-over bridges and high buildings. Love Google SatNav. I wish they'd go ahead and made a version with stored maps on the SD card like TomTom and others. With updates on the fly and over the air. That would be great.

Besides that i bought Navigon SatNav software, for the reason of the stored maps on local memory. The first sat fix took a while... But from that moment forward it worked smooth and the software reacts quit well. I wish that the interface was a bit easier to navigate.

So for that purpace it is functioning well.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HMartinK:
It's a great idea but unfortunately this wouldn't work for me. The new Gallery3D.apk still uses a lot of battery once started. What would happen if I renamed an entirely different program to Gallery3D.apk? I guess the solution isn't that simple but who knows? I'm too scared to try.

Any other idea how I can get rid of this crappy Gallery3D.apk completely and replace it with something else?

I'm sure it's a good program but I don't think installing it will solve the problem.

The default app (Gallery3D.apk) will still run as fast as I plugg in the USB or use the camera. It doesn't matter how many additions image viewers that are installed.

One option is to remove the Gallery3D.apk completely, but I don't know the consequences of that. So I don't dare trying it.
