This really doesn't have anything to do with the sd card disconnecting momentarily. You can completely pull out the sd card with the phone running and it won't shut down. My guess is instead that it was either coincidence for you or your G2 wasn't making proper contact with the battery. Let me know when you start having shutdowns again ^_^
[G2 and Desire Z General] luis86dr:
Technically you can't remove the sd with a shutdown.you need to remove the battery to get to it.

flash stock ROM over SD.

1 Go on the HTC site, and select your aria. (if you have a branded device go to your operator website.)

2 select support > device selection > HD2 > ,ROM updates.

3 enter your S/N and download your ROM.

4 open that file with WinZip.

I worked as a service provider for Bell Canada for many years. This is their mentality, even though they are such a small drop in the bucket compared to the big wireless companies like Verizon or TMO.

I'm actually quite disappointed that Bell even has a say in the matter... Samsung, as crappy as their service is, should be the drivers. This means we can almost forget about any future 2.3 upgrades after the SGS drops off Bell's sales radar.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yiannisthegreek:
As I understand it from reading around there are about 500,000 sgs i9000m devices in Canada however... I tottaly agree that Bell should NOT have any say in the firmware upgrades and I hope Gingerbread will officially make it to us here in Canada but my hopes arent too high.

I have never flashed an unofficial firmware before but in this regard all I can say is THANK GOD for xda and the talented developers who will no doubt have many flavors of gingerbread for us canucks to munch on when its done baking especially since the galaxy tab WILL be getting it and the 2 devices are so similar.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dm-digital:

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brunes:
In Froyo if you use Outlook Email and do not enable Push (ie tell it to sync on intervals), AND/OR use an app like Juice Defender that shuts down and starts up your data connection, outlook will enter a partial wake lock on the device which causes your phone to never fully suspend - resulting in a large battery drain even though your CPU use is low. It's a known issue in Froyo.

I can tell you there is no correlation and it is not the issue. How do I know? Check the threads - I was one of those whose SD card died. I also thought it was due to the ROM but when I got my phone back from RMA, and they replaced motherboard, I noticed many things

- Phone felt faster

- GPS was totally fixed compared to before

- Had 3BR enabled

I was thus fully convinced that a large number of early Bell phones have shoddy hardware. They have shoddy GPS, shoddy SD card. If you have one of those then is only a matter of time before it fails, has nothing to do with the ROM. In fact I am glad I excersized the SD card a bit because otherwise I may not have discovered how busted it was for months or maybe even after the 1 yr warranty is up, and now I have a better working GPS to boot.

Sucks how we are not getting this sooner ... as if the Acer got the update before we did. You'd think with Samsung trying to push the TAB people would see how terrible they are with updates.

I bought one yesterday, pick it up today from Bell. It already has 2.2 on it. :)

Seriously though, since I had to switch to a Telus Fascinate while my I9000M is in for SD card failure, and I'm back on 2.1, I do not miss 2.2 at ALL.

It's stable as a rock and runs smoother/faster overall, no IT policy police making me enter a PIN to unlock it, it just works. About the only thing I even sort of miss from 2.2 is the improved Market functionality.

Hi All,

Ok... I am from Edmonton and am in Toronto for work. I have just connected my SGS to KIES to see the latest and I am getting a strange message that I dont believe has ever been reported here before so perhaps someone can tell me what this is supposed to mean. I am running STOCK JH2 firmware, not rooted, no lagfix, etc. When I click update firmware I get the popup box titled FIRMWARE UPGRADE and the message says...

Model Name - GTI9000M

Current Version - PDA:JH2 / Phone:JH2 / CSC:JH2

"Cannot connect to the latest information for this device."

Does anyone know what this could mean? Is it because the servers are busy perhaps?

I have tried 3 consecutive upgrade attempts and I get the same message everytime. Thanks in advance for any help you can give...

Samsung Mobile Canada

We’d like to acknowledge the tremendous interest in the Froyo (Android 2.2) upgrade for Galaxy S series smartphones in Canada. We are working diligently to provide a tested and secure upgrade experience in Canada. Android 2.2 will be released for Vibrant from Bell and Captivate from Rogers in mid-December, and for the Fascinate from TELUS in early 2011. We’ll post further details as they become available.

So no point in getting your hopes up now, it's not coming anytime soon.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lightarrow:
Well, in my experience, i would say don't do it ! i've bricked 2 phones when on froyo. 1st worked flawlessly (except lag) for 1 month, i put froyo, 3 days later ... dead. Got my replacement (motherboard replaced), put doc's rom, 7 days later ... dead. I can't say for sure that the phone was not defective in the beginning but i def think that there are differences between the i9000 and the i9000m. In the repair order, they put a i9000 motherboard in so maybe the hardware is the same but some bootloader software is not.

Some other users didn't have any problems falshing custom roms so it's basically your call. Make sure to read lots before making up your mind :)

Yeah, just follow the instructions and you'll be fine. The instructions are a little long winded, but please make sure you can access 3 button recovery first - this is the number uno newb error that people make.

Also, make sure you have I9000UGJH2 from samsungfirmwares handy and a copy of Odin just in case you bugger something up. All you have to do is flash back to ugjh2 (assuming you're using a i9000m) and you're back up and running like the day you took your phone out of the box. I have a folder on my PC that contains odin, stock firmware, a clockwork backup of my original setup, Docs rom, and my efs folder. I'd suggest you do the same.

Just a note, step 11 talks about installing a lagfix and whatnot. I skipped that step, and haven't had any lag problems at all, so my suggestion would be to run without it first, and if you decide you want to run a lagfix, you may do so later.

Just out of curiosity....whats with the serious rage at the lack of an update?

It's not like Eclair (2.1) is crap? I've got a number of friends with Froyo(2.2) phones and of them 2 have downgraded to 2.1 for one reason or another, and the rest really see no major need for the upgrade even though they have it. Almost nobody I know uses the voice stuff , wait make that nobody uses it, flash 10 was in the words of one friend "cool for the first day." And as of yet, no other app that's exclusive to 2.2 has made anyone I know so excited that 2.2 is a must have for them now.

Don't get me wrong. I want 2.2 for my phone, but..I'm not getting bitter raging mad about it.

If you have 2.1 and your phone works...whats the issue with another month of wait? Not trying to incite hate and anger, just really perplexed at the amount of frustration and unhappiness I'm seeing.

On a side note, I'm using 2.1 with OCLF root and lagfix 2.0+ and Launcher Pro and for me with these in place the phone has been great. It runs fast, faster then my friends Nexus One on Froyo, faster then two different Milestones, and more lag free then another friends Captivate. It even walks all over the SE X10 with the new 2.1 update it just got, and compaired to the iphone 3GS it's a butter smooth multitasking monster. The two other people with this phone that I know have both used roms to upgrade to Froyo one kept it and the other went back to JH2 after 2 weeks, in both cases the speed difference with our phones side by side was negligible.

And at the end of the day it's got the nicest freaking display of any phone I've had the pleasure to play with.It runs everything I throw at it since I got it in August, and the two hiccups i had with it were.

1) A popped battery buggered my partitions somehow, forcing me to reapply JH2.

2) A driver issue with Win 7 that had it unmount my SD card every time I plugged my phone into my PC for charging. Reformat and reinstall of Win 7 and that issue is gone.

Fingers crossed it's sooner then Mid Dec, but either way I want it to be stable and non SD card destroying. :)

Everyone has their reasons. Mine are for better Exchange compatibility. I need to sync with multiple Exchange servers and I need it to do contacts/calendars/email for both.

Really though, I think people get frustrated because it's out there AND it's been promised yet we don't have it because companies drag their feet - either on purpose or they don't care.

When the modding community is able to put out nice, stable releases so fast, yet multi-billion dollar companies take months to do that same thing there has to be something wrong. They either refuse to dedicate the resources or artificially limit the devices for the chance of more profit.. I think it's both.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radeon_x:
From everything I've read 2.2 is still full of limitations / bugs when it comes to Exchange sync. Sounds like you'd be better off with a 3rd party app instead. I use Moxier, but Touchdown supports multiple accounts...

Anyway Orillian is right. 2.1 with a lag fix seems pretty fast to me. I can understand the frustration at not having 2.2, but the reality seems to be that it is pretty over rated. Unless something goes horribly wrong with my 2.1 JH2 + OCLF, I'm in no hurry to upgrade...
