Why does 2.2 takes much longer to shut off compare to 2.1 ?

2.1 powers off almost as soon as screen goes black.

compare to 2.2 where it takes few seconds after screen goes black to shut off? + short vibration to confirm power off.

Is that just how 2.2 is ?

anybody have problems with the MMS ?

i used the same APN i have before upgrading but it just won't work. whenever i try to send an MMS, it won't even try to connect (no data icon on the notification). is there a "switch" to enable MMS ?

i have no problems with the internet though.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] AllGamer:
hmm... don't really want to jump to conclusions, but it sounds like the exact symptom of a dead internal SD

can you flash back to any other ROM? and boot all the way into the OS ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] danial.aw:
hey anyone know any good froyo custom roms? that dont cause internal sd problems... ive got this one with speedmod kernel running... but everywhere i find im reading that perople are getting sd problems with other roms?

If you are worried, you should stay with Bell's Official Stock Firmware.

just looked at kies jl2 is up

i have to wait till i get home to try it
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] montrealguy:
JL2 for Bell? Or for another provider??? What are you talking about?

I tried logging on to Kies but it says "JK4- This device's version cannot be upgraded."
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] AllGamer:
you can use the registry patch posted on page 1

and set it to make Kies believe it's a JH2 or JG9 then it will let you download the new ROM
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] montrealguy:
Done- thanks. I upgraded and all my apps are still in place. As the past problems have to do with SD card errors, should I do a factory reset, wipe the cache and format the internal SD-card? I can then restore from Titanium Backup.

Will this help avoid any problems?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] montrealguy:
Another update: JL2 will kill your GPS. I've tried numerous settings and it doesn't lock onto anything.

So far, the best combo is auto-config + secure socket and even then it will detect 3 satellites and not lock onto anything. JPO would detect 10 satellites and lock on in 6 seconds!

Is there any way we can flash just the GPS files from JPO to JL2?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Aqua1ung:
@ AllGamer, OP: Thanks for the info. I for myself I think I'll wait for SuperCurio's Gingerbread. One question though: you talk about the SD in various places (as in "mount your SD card" for example). Would that be the internal SD card, or the external one?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] xedd:
I noticed the same thing when going from JH2 to JK3 and JK4. Give it some time and also download the sat. tracker helper files using the GPS Status applicaiton.

One thing I have noticed that helps to get a GPS lock on this damn phone is to actually turn it upside down so the back is facing the sky. I believe this is because the antenna is on the backside or there are less electronics/screen in the way so it locks on faster.

Regardless, I don't think the GPS will ever work well on this model.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] billypg:
I have a dead Vibrant with the internal SD card issue. I'm still far away from Canada and won't be back until mid Jan. If I want to give JL2 a try what would be the options in Odin to try to format the internal SD in the process?

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] cloudrainstar:
Here's some interesting experimentation...

I was on XXJPY PDA and UGJK4 Modem (With UGJK4 SBL), and I decided to flash the SBL and Modem for UGJL2...

After that was done, my phone went on, then off, then on, then off... ad infinitum.

I thought the SBL might have killed the XXJPY PDA, so I reflashed that, only to find that it's still doing the same thing...

So I flashed the UGJK4 SBL, and the phone booted... but goes into recovery and tells me it can't find mmcblk0p1...

I flashed a kernel with adb enabled and checked: mmcblk0, mmcblk0p1, mmcblk0p2 were all missing!

Since I have access to download mode anyways, I decided to flash the entire UGJL2 Rom...

At first boot, it booted, then kinda rebooted itself again, going into recovery, then it said something on the recovery screen about wiping cache, and "verifying filesystem"... Then it was able to install the CSC!? After that my phone booted into UGJL2 without a problem...

I wonder if this means phones with dead internal sd cards have a fix now?... Or if someone would be able to extract whatever it is in this ROM and fix sd cards without having to flash this ROM too? (Like the three button fix?)

Edit: This doesn't seem like the proper thread to put it in, so I've posted it in the ChainFire thread about UGJL2
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] danial.aw:
so any big differences between jl2 and jk3? ... worth it or no?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] BlackDino:
Probably not,

Other users were saying that JL2 had the ability to resurrect a bricked i9000m.

My guess JL2 will just be a rom that will never brick a device or can fix bricked devices.

I doubt samsung is doing anything other then trying to fix the sd card corruption
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Zb134:
did anyone with the jk4 upgrade to jl3, without using the kies reg hack?

any changes, I am using jk4 and don't have any problems except TouchWiz is lagging a lot, but Launcher pro works great.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] montrealguy:
I think you mean jl2, not jl3?

Or is JL3 out already??
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Zb134:
oops..sorry JL2 is what I meant!

Alright, so now we got JL2. How do we root it though? z4root ain't workin'.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Sweet_Lew:
I read in another JL2 (Bell) thread that SuperOneClick should work, have not tested myself though.

I had a brick after JL1 and Samsung gave me a refurb within 2 weeks. Will flash JL2 later this weekend and report but I'm thinking because I got the refurb I shouldn't run into any more hardware issues...yet...cross fingers :o

to get titanium backup to work just go into it and click problems at the bottom, it will let you install busybox. should work after that, may need to reboot.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dehugin:
has anyone tried any lag fixes yet?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] asicman:
I don't get it. Why are people still upgrading to 2.2? It will accelerate the damage just like the previous 2.2. Its a HW problem...

Anyway, I'll be holding off for a week or two and see if there are any complaints.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Samdroid_G_S:
If its hardware its gonna die anyway so im not sure what you dont get.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dehugin:
because i want my $100 bucks :)

i've flashed the last four roms and had issuses like everyone else, but never bricked it. everytime i start getting lots of force closes i just factory reset and everthing if fine again. which makes me beleive it is not a HW problem, and this new rom is appearantly supose to fix all that. so i have confidents that the problem will be fix, i'm happy with this rom so far, gps is better at least for me.

I tried using Titanium Backup (TB) to move some of my apps to the internal SD, and even though it said it did it, it didn't. I tried it several times, and even rebooted afterwards, to no avail. Has anyone had success with TB? Running JL2 on a rooted and lagfixed I9000M.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] radeon_x:

At least JL2 is a quality rom in the meantime. Compared to JH2 it's smoother, better gps, and great battery life so far. As long as the sd card doesn't die I'd say Samsung has finally done something right with the i9000.

Also I've been going through forums for the last couple days getting my head wrapped around this, but is there a wiki or device model compatibility matrix somewhere that I'm missing? I'm trying to figure out how people know about what roms go with what hardware or where they are supposed to be localized to.

Has samsung given a technical explanation as to what was done differently in JL2?

I assume I can use this method to go back to JH2? I want 2e recovery so I can load Darkyy's 7.0 Rom
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dannyphones:
you will need to flash jh2 if you want 2e recovery i think.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Kewjoe:
Right, I know. I'm asking if it's safe to use this method to downgrade from JL2 to JH2. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dannyphones:
Does anyone have a problem when the contact app doesn't close?

If i end it with the task manager when I close the task manager I have no icons for a couple of seconds.

Done factory reset/data wipe/cache wipe. Had this with JK4 and JL2 but not with JK3.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Kewjoe:
If anyone is interested. Trying to downgrade back to JH2 did not work for me. It bricked my phone. I then went back to JL2 and flashed the Speedmod Froyo kernal (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=822756) and went from there.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Idan73:
so basically, we have to tick update bootloader when flashing with odin?

or we just use kies.

anyways im back.

santa gave me new phone from service and im not happy. it has signs like random soft keys not responding bug like the old one before dying. pointed it out in store as i was pickin it up and told them ill be seeing them back in a few weeks. flashed docs yesterday and had some weird bugs with permissions (adw said it could not make backup and yet it did, ireader unable to restore backup etc).

flashed this an hour ado with odin with efs clear and update bootloader checked, the phone booted.

so im off to try other roms now assuming updated bootloader will prevent sdcard dying unless i overwrite bell fixed sbl.

everything smooth, no permission bug, gps sucks though (not talking about initial lock but the subsequent ones).

got some readin to do now to switch my mind back from symbian.

n8 great and meh at the same time (being torn right now having to sell one after new years. need it for pics and videos and fm transmitter).

well actually i know im keeping this peace of crap (speaking fondly), just like how it feels in my pants.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ekinskofer:
bricked my phone using these instructions.. not sure what went wrong, odin said setting up connection.. for about 20 mins.. decided it was probably f'd and powered down.. bad idea. I get the "!" connection of death screen when I boot.. can someone point me in the right direction to rectify this? I bought this phone off craigs.. no receipt/waranty.. not on bell either. where can I send this thing if needed.. please help. man.. 4 hours of reading.. 3 mins to pooch my phone..

edit.. ya it's done, can't get into recovery mode or download. anyone with next steps links would be greatly appreciated.. otherwise I'll spend some time in the am looking for alternatives. frustrated..
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] AllGamer:
just the Home made JIG (follow the instructions to make one), and that will get you back into the download mode.

then you can flash again.

use another computer, something on that PC (Odin) is not talking properly to the phone via the USB ports, you need a PC with a good working USB port

make sure all USB devices are unplugged, and reboot the PC only keep mouse and keyboard
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] AllGamer:
if it's really a hardware problem, wouldn't you want to have your phone fixed, or changed meanwhile you still have the warranty?

it's only a 1 year warranty, and we already lost 4 months
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] xedd:
Incorrect, you can flash Hardcore k10k and have 2e recovery in about 60 seconds.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Kewjoe:
Ya, learned that the hard way. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ekinskofer:
Eric - Thanks AllGamer, I'll check out the Jig, at this point, I got nothing to lose I guess. I found a couple things wrong that I did.. 1) sim card was left in 2) I had my wireless mouse put up.. I'll keep this in mind next time I flash. How long should I wait.. I guess the "setting up connection" step was messed up due to the wireless mouse?

should I be flashing JL2 still with the jig method or should I go to JH2 to go to the standard baseline? thanks for your help again.. botching a 400$ device isn't the greatest feeling.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lgkahn:
hardcore ,, voodo, bln kernel ro cw root kernel all add 2e recovery.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Samdroid_G_S:
Forcing it into download mode using heat worked for some people as well. Just remove the back plate\battery and heat it with a hair dryer till its fairly hot then try booting into download mode.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ekinskofer:
is this safe? I'll have to hunt for this on the forums.. currently focusing on making a jig or buying one.. looks somewhat straight forward.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] got_milk:
That is NOT safe at all! Lead-free solder (which must be used in the phones as per government regulations) can melt at a reasonably low temperature - a hair dryer may heat up the solder internally enough to melt and possibly break connections, resulting in a permanently bricked phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ekinskofer:
thats what I figured.. thanks. working on the jig.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Samdroid_G_S:
Flashing roms is not exactly always safe either but we do that ;p I'm just telling you that some users have been successful with that method. It is not something I have personally tried.

Help :(

hi guys,

a noob question from a noob himself,

i updated to jl2 via kies a few mins ago, i wanna flash a froyo rom now.

im on samsung recovery 3e, is there a way to flash roms on this? is there a way to downgrade to 2e? please help thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Samdroid_G_S:
JL2 is a froyo rom, if you want to install a custom froyo rom then you will need to use odin to flash a Kernel that has 2e recovery, check out hardcore's speedmod kernel in the developer section it has recovery 2e and uses CWM as a default recovery and CWM is what you use to flash most custom roms.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Dhruv94:
thank u!

i did a flash with the k10 version in odin and when it boots up it shows i9000m but changes to i9000..

i cant get into recovery mode only download mode.

what am i doing wrong?

Hey, is there anyone else whose GPS stopped working after installing JL2?

Mine can see satellites but can't get a fix. Was working ok with JK4.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zeroculture:
yup ... mine doesn't work at all... When it does see satellites and decides to show my location it is off by an insane amount
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Zb134:
I wonder how some users are able to get perfect gps connection on the JL2 and others don't.

I used to get a fix in 20 seconds with the JK4. Now, even when I can see 8 satellites it doesn't fix.

Can someone post their GPS settings please?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ssj2miguelx:
You guys actually might need to wait about 10 mins to find a GPS signal for the first time. Once when its found, it should take about 5 seconds the next time (meaning that its faster then on).

This is what I am hearing from a few people in threads.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Aqua1ung:
Yes, this is my experience too. JL2 is actually surprisingly good from all points of view ... which isn't to say that I won't jump on Supercurio's Gingerbread bandwagon as soon as it's available in a reasonably stable/usable state:p

(Edit: actually, the only thing that I've found annoying about JL2 is that, so far, I haven't been able to move any user applications to the internal SD.)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] alkalain:
I run JL2 since yesterday, flashed it with Odin, but there is one thing i dont understand with the SBL.bin file.

In Odin, if "Phone Bootloader Update" is not checked, is the SBL.bin file is ignored?

Because Odin have read it while flashing.

In recovery mode, it said recovery 3e.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] que3jxp:
I went straight to JL2 after getting my new hardware replacement (Dec mfg date) on the 24th and it has been rock solid. No issues at all and the GPS locks in no more than about 15 seconds and that is from inside a building but near a window.

All settings are at default after the flash as far as the GPS settings are concerned.

Regarding GPS.

I have a handhelp Garmin GPS 60CSx.

If I haven't used the GPS in long time and had my batteries replaced, it would take few minutes to find and lock down satellites.

But if I were to use the same in same spot say... next day... it would find and lock to GPS well under a minute.

Should visit the GPS type of forums and how it works.

Than again... SGS GPS seems very random..

if someone know how to fix this i´ll really appreciate

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] AllGamer:
Are you able to go back into the DOWNLOAD mode?

if you are able to, just flash the JL2.tar file again in PDA

if you are having trouble you can troubleshoot to flash back JM8.tar or JH2.tar in PDA, and then flash back to JL2.tar and see if it boots

if you can't get past the black and white Galaxy S logo, then most likely the internal SD is toasted

to confirm, go into the RECOVERY MODE, then try to do a format

and it will complain with the errors about the SD card

then

JL2 has the new SBL.bin file in it, which prevents going back to JH2 (2.1), does anyone know howto remove the SBL before flashing?

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] cloudrainstar:
Just open it with 7zip and delete the Sbl.bin file inside

I have winrar would that do the same thing? Also thank you for answering ^^ Do you happen to know if this harms the rom in anyway?

EDIT:

If the rom is ok I think i could also replace the kernal with the one from speedball or voodoo as well?

Sent from my GT-I9000M
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Samdroid_G_S:
This is not true. It does not prevent you from going back, you just have to find and flash a full JH2 rom that has the .SBL file in it to flash back. I have seen a full version of JH2 on the forums and even have a copy myself and I went from JL2 to JH2 without issues.

Personally I would use the SBL from JL2 if your planning on using any custom 2.2 rom , Flash JL2, Flash a Kernel such as Hardcore's Kernel that has CWM built in and then from there flash what ever custom 2.2 rom you want.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] windraker:
My sdcard started acting up so bell gave me a new phone with JH2 on it. As cloud said, if I use 7zip to remove the SBL does this mean if I update to JL2, I can go back to official JH2 since neither would have the SBL? also would that cause any issues :)

thanks to all :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Samdroid_G_S:
Why would you want to go back in the first place? Froyo is an upgrade.

Anyway since you do not want to look here's the link for the full version of JH2 that will allow you to flashback to JH2 from JL2 even if you flashed the .sbl from JL2.

Full JH2 including .sbl

Edit.....

Just download it keep a copy on your PC and flash it with ODIN.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] windraker:
I actually found that in another post after looking through cloud's posts, but my question still remains :( In going back to JH2 (which came with my new phone I have in hands now) I can easily install root and clockwork(without using a new kernal first) and then install a custom rom. I also want the ability to get official ones from samsung as well, but if I don't like them, returning to my original state.

I did a nandroid backup as well with clockwork just in case so I can restore IMEI/CSC and anything else I need.
