I just tried doing a factory reset both in froyo and with recovery, it acts like it's doing it, but when it reboots everything is still there? what could be doing this?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kinghorsey:
Anyone notice if it was downloading as jk4 then? Today was the first time I'd been able to get Kies to download it.

Using the Kies Registry Patcher to back it up, it saves as JK3.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Samdroid_G_S:
The file decrypted was JK4 but had JK3 inside.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mad2x:
well after trying a couple more times to do a factory reset it worked. I'm actually doing the upgrade through kies now right over JK3, it's still downloading, I don't know what it's going to do, but I'm trying anyways. I wish kies would of work the other day, instead of using odin. I did clean and format absolutely everything before trying this upload. I will let you guys know if it did work or not. Anyone knows how long is the warranty from bell on the galaxy?

One year..
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xedd:
I simply do not understand these comments.... How are you going 3 days on a single charge?!?!?! I use my phone pretty much 2 hours per day, mostly web browsing or playing Dragon's Poker while commuting (train) and I am basically charging two to three times a day... Fully charged by morning, leaving for work at 7:30, arriving downtown Montreal at 8:30, I am at 80% charge.. By lunchtime I was at 70% charge with very little usage and had already put it on the charging with my work laptop.

I've even gone to the Bell store to demand a replacement of the battery after 30 days purchase. They gave me a new one and while I do think the battery consumption is slightly better with Froyo 2.2, no way in hell could I last 3 days and make it to 50%.

I have the following apps running constantly:

Clockr

BatteryLife v1.3.3 - widget that displays accurate battery life

Talk (Gtalk)

SystemPanel - monitor my consumption and manually kill inactive tasks

And I have Autosync enabled for two Gmail accounts, one is personal and the other is for my consulting company. Also I keep my brightness setting at "Automatic" since I've sometimes noticed (in Eclair) that it gets set very bright at times without my intervention and with it on Auto, I know that there is some attempt to manage the contrast. I also try to keep GPS and WiFi off during the day since I do not use these.

I was fully charged shortly after lunch today (around 1pm) and arriving home now at 6:26pm, I am again under 47% charge.... I've tried messing with erasing the Battery stats in Clockwork Mod but I can no longer do that with Froyo since it refuses to execute the update.zip due to signature problems.

So I am like what the hell am I doing so badly to have such poor battery life!!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mad2x:
where can i get the stock eclair 2.1 rom so i can put it back with odin and then use kies to update with kies?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Samdroid_G_S:
Just failed or you stuck in a boot loop now?

Btw theres no difference between flashing with odin and kies.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mad2x:
I thought that maybe with kies my phone would of worked better then with Odin.

It just failed saying that it could not finish the update, it was in download mode and everything for a while but could not finish. The phone still works. I figured out now that only the same 3 apps, angry birds, pocket legends and raging thunder keep disappearing from my wall. The only 3 games that are installed on the SD the rest is always ok.... It was doing this before and now after i wiped and factory cleaned and even formatted everything.... besides that the phone works ok for now I don't know I guess it must be my SD that's doing all the trouble.

As for xedd about the battery life, it's about the same as your story for me. I get about 5-6 hours of use per charge, I mean of really using the phone, I don't even think I could get 3 days not touching the thing, unless it was on airplane mode hehe.

I noticed that when I turn the phone off it buzzes once, and also when I turn it on, is this normal?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vortexion:
The way that I get mega battery life is by disabling 3g when I'm not using it. With 3g disabled I lose maybe 1-2% per 12 hours or so while in standby. Phone can still make and receive calls while in this state...

With 3g active I lose about 25% doing nothing over 12 hours...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Samdroid_G_S:
Yup, 3g kills the battery quick. Turn it of by holding the power button for 3 sec.

If you playing games you dont need it anyway, manually check your mail.

My battery only drops 1% every 6-8 hours on standby. Btw you can still send and receive texts and send/receive calls with 3g disabled.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kewjoe:
How does that disable 3G? all that does is bring up the menu to power down, turn airplane mode on or go to silent :confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frandromeda:
If you're on Froyo there's a fourth option in the power menu to disable network connections.

Hi folks, This is my first post. I love my SGS but have grown tired of my "iphone killer" to start being able to kill an Iphone.

I have a dumb question. Several people mention thier 850mhz or another working or not working and that they check thier settings to find out.

I have played with my phone extensively and cannot find out how to see what bands are working and which are not. Is this a #1234# type of settings check?

Please tell me how to look, and since I'm a bit dense, tell be which bands I should want to see and why.

Can't wait for Froyo. I get the phone shutting itself off 2-3 times a day. I like to use my phone as an alarm clock but can't trust this one yet. Hopefully Froyo saves the day.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AV8R1:

It sounds to me like DK_Digital has had great success with his JK3 upgrade. Could you post detailed instructions on how to do it. Thank you for the time it would take but I think their are many lurkers who would like to lean on your expertise.

Get APNDroid from the Market. It's an app/widget that can disable 3G only.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Samdroid_G_S:
@av8r1

Root your device install a app called SGS tools. Use Z4root to root.

Sgs tools has all the codes and auto dials them for you.

And before you do that try factory resetting your phone to see if.that fixes your shutting down issue, I never had that issue on any firmware so.somethings not right.

And really for your 3g question if it aint broke dont fix it and if your not sure if its broke or not then its not broken.

I also think i'll try and wait a few more days for Froyo. The frustrating part is i've put off really orgaizing my phone since Sept because it was going to get wiped anyway, plus I bought a new 16GB card and thought it will be nice to start all over fresh.

If you are still running stock then go into the registry and delete the keys under HKEYCU - Software - Samsung - Kies - DeviceDb. Delete all those subkeys that are numbers. Reopen kies and reattach your phone. See what you get then.
