Found Gpsopt by octy in market for JPB...worked for me..also tried GPSbooster lite, got a fix within 10 seconds with gpssetup2..too bad can't backup these apps, something tells me i am gonna be flashing a lot..(something like weekly builds :p)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dwarfuy:
cannot update from stock image to JPB directly.

Hi everybody :)

I'm new in here and new on the android platform in general (I'm an iphone/ipad developer who became tired of apple's limitations on the platform).

So I just wanted to share my experience with updating the firmware of the samsung galaxy 3.

First of all don't try to use ODIN it in a virtual machine, it just doesn't work, i tried with vmware, parallels and virtualbox without success.

Secondly I could NOT update my brand new samsung galaxy 3 directly TO I5800XXJPB.

I tried to do it and it got stuck looping on the samsung logo (even if odin told me "PASS")

I had first to install I5800XXJPA then I5800XXJPB in order to get it working !

(maybe I did something wrong)

So finally i have I5800XXJPB running and it's pretty smooth :) Thanks to everybody in this forum for the help !!

and do you have to switch off / on the phone with GPS enabled ?

I have tryied this: http://www.themobileblog.in/2010/11/25/how-to-solve-gps-issue-on-samsung-galaxy-3-i5800/
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Aj264:
No nothing of that sort was required.. Google navigation isn't available in my area or so the app says..i think a network connection for the first fix speeds up the process since its a-gps and all...got a fix using gpssetup2 and the location was correct in navigation...i can use only the directions feature.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] nastyba:
could you please tell me what did you set in gpssetup2 ? I made some settings (I've found on the internet) but I'm not sure that they are correct. May be I did wrong settings and that's why I have problems :(
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Aj264:
didn't do any settings manually...i just used Gpsopt for optimisation..and then used gpsbooster for a faster fix.. without the booster it took me around 350 seconds to get a fix on my position..i don't know what octy's secret is but it works..:eek:

i suggest you reset the settings..and use gpsopt..some people have mentioned editing gps.conf to put in the ntp server of your region..don't think that is really required but you can try that..

i don't use gps much..it was just to check if it works or not..

P.S. i just use the get position in commands in gpssetup2 to get my position, then i can see my position in navigation on the map pretty quickly...Also wanted to add that the first fix takes longer than the ones following after..shows around 9 satellites, connected to around 6 of them to get a fix (the ones with [*] infront of them)

Can we use Kies to update our phone with the official release if the phone is rooted?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dwarfuy:
Hello guys .. just to say that I'm having exactly the same issue with JPB (when I make a phone call, the lines drop for 1/2 second at random times).

Do you have any idea on how to fix this ? I tried factory reset from settings menu and clear data/factory and clear cache from recovery boot but It doesn't change anything ... I'm considering going back to JPA or even a 2.1 rom if I can't fix this. Maybe this has to do that my operator is 1800MHz instead of 900MHz ?

Thanks for any help ... (I'm really new to android so excuse me if my question seems stupid ..)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] samc-:
i think we must wait for new fw:)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] manubadboy:
Even I have the same problem..The line just drops for 1/2 a second and it is quite annoying..I am thinking of going back to JPA too if there is no solution.. Please help if anybody knows why this is happening... :)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] nastyba:
I have the same problem,

the line drops for 1/2 sec. and I hear a "click" in it.

Had someone resolved this problem ?

If there will be no "jpC" firmaware till weekend, I will go to "jpA".

Weird.. Please is here someone who doesn't hear a click or 1/2sec drop in jpB during the call ?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] venkat_9099:
Hi,

After much consideration, I finally flashed my Galaxy 3 half an hour back. Market crashed once till now.

cannot connect to KIES. Did factory reset, but still no use :(
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] celiocalves:
I have exactly the same problem. During calls the speaker sound stops during ~1sec. And this bug happens repeatedly...

We need to solve this problem fast. With this bug the voic calls are simply "a misery"...

So does everyone else have ****ty battery life with JPB?

I won't use my phone at all during the day, but still end up at 50% battery life.

I'm disabling data now to see how it works.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] shajumohamed:
JPB is weird. now it asks me to disconnect the phone from charger. but the phone wasnt plugged :mad:

also the operator name is shown twice in the notification bar.

the application manager says angry birds is just 2 MB. also i have few apps with 0.00KB size:confused:
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] FadeFx:
it looks like...
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Aj264:
And also sometimes i can see the homescreen in landscape orientation..and it vibrates at odd times..:p the haptic feedback is messed up i think occassionally
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] FadeFx:
how was battery life on other froyo roms? maybe we can solve this by flashing an other baseband...

at the other hand, when i look into dmsg log i see really wired things there, like headset connected and disconnected when there never was one and so on...

Can we just flash i5801DDGJ6, so we get i5801 bootscreen, then flash Gsam's pre rooted rom since it does not have boot.bin so we will keep the i5801 screen?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] venkat_9099:
I flashed back from I5800XXJPB to I5801DDJG6 but boot screen is still showing as I5800
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] nastyba:
I had migrated to JPA - this is the best FW for now @ i5800(1)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] earthquake36:
hi to all 5800/5801 users,

yesterday i flash my 5801 with JPB and now i can say tht its fast much smooth and more function...however i am getting FC in market couple of times and no doubt battery life is very poor icant eve go to 24 hr with full charge so that is something very poor.

another thing is as ppl said i not faced any issue regards to call drop or silent for 1-2 sec as i used a long talk also. so may be i am lucky in that sense.

All in all good update for surly not for heavy user becasue of battery performance...
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] JoHnNy08PL:
For market - wipe

For battery - let the phone die because of low battery. Turn it again let it die again, after ~15mins again, and after that plug in charger and load it for about 5h. The phone must be off

After that battery life is muuch longer :D
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] deepakbshetty:
Lot call drop... other than that everything is gd

Just rollback to JK1... After all these adventures with JP8, JP9, JPA and JPB, I almost forgot how a real phone is supposed to work. Now I have a pretty much stable phone, with good battery life (three days with lite use of wifi-1 hour/day, abot 30-40 minutes/day calls, and maybe another hour of playing with the phone or GPS), Linpack=3074, Quadrant=365, unrooted... I'll wait for JPC
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] pmapma1:
Hi all.

Just installed jpb yesterday..

I'm not experiencing any of the problems you guys mentioned..

Call is working fine now.

Had clicks at first but then I did a factory reset..

No battery drain a well....
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] chandradithya:
Just press the power Key,

The screen shuts down and the call is silenced :cool:
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] chandradithya:
Yeah, its the same for everyone,

I noticed that the notification bar turned green for a sec everytime i got that break,

So i just pressed the home button and made it completely green (As you know the greens just for notifying there's an ongoing call)

After that i never heard the break in that call alone,

so Just try that out and let me know if it works for you too :)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] chandradithya:
This firmware is the latest bro.

Dated December.

Kies isnt so state of the art :P

And plus this isnt an official firmware.

So we just have to wait for a couple of months and use google sync in the meanwhile.

Android's rolling out updates to the market app to all froyo devices,

Thats why it crashes,

Just connect to the internet let your market app sit for a while,

It'll get updated,

I never got any crash after the update.

[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Chefkoch_81:
Hi,

For me this firmware is great, only the battery drain.

Interesting, at first battery life was great, after 1 or 2 days its very bad. When I looked at the Information -> Battery Information (dont know the exact english translation for this), I see that an App called "Gallery" uses as much Battery than the display. This cannot be good and is probably the cause for the battery drain. Interesting is also, I have never started the Gallery, also Advanced Task Killer does not show this task.

Bye
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] JoHnNy08PL:
Yeah, the same bug is on the SGS. We can install modded gallery from SGS, but it's a little bit slower, and sometime when loading images we can see artifacts. But it doesn't eat battery :D

Install SGS Tools from market, and go to upgrade stock apps, and select Gallery.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] FadeFx:
Is the sgs gallery app really working on the g3? Could be true due to not containing any graphics to get problems because of lower dpi.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] JoHnNy08PL:
Yes, fully working. It's just slower than normal

And you can see here artifacts

BTW. Warcraft 2 makes milion of folders with graphics. Can I put .nomedia file at root of W2 folder, or I need to copy this to all folders?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] FadeFx:
Root folder is enough, .nomedia is like a stop sign for mediascanner...
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] FadeFx:
Btw, gallery is slower because the moded version loads the images in higher resolution to have better quality when zooming in. This has the effect that they use more mem

I have flashed JPB yesterday night and the phone was ok. No battery drain as described in above replies. But today morning, it freezed in "Samsung" logo screen when rebooted after Launcher Pro installation.

So I moved to JG6 (old) version. I would like to move to JPB if it does not freeze. Any suggestions?

Few observations:

The signal strength is less in this JPB (-56dbm) version when compared to JG6 (-81dbm). So I assume the battery will drain quicker.

I see the ASTRO file manager is also not working. (Any body has this issue?)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] FadeFx:
I think this is solved by flashing the firmware with a datafs.rfs you can get it here:

http://www.multiupload.com/HR8U1C2LH5
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] balaji.admin:
Requesting datafs.rfs only

Hi FadeFx,

I have the datafs.rfs of I5801DDJG6. Can I use it with I5800XXJPB?

Does every version has a different datafs.rfs?

If yes, then can you upload only the datafs.rfs
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] FadeFx:
I don't know what exactly is in the datafs.rfs, since i can not mount it to examine the content. But i think you can use any. However we could try using different ones to test if we get different effects. The firmware i provided contains one from xwjg7 i think...

To inject the file into the tar archive you need to use izarc or total commander, other tools will produce invalid tar files.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] balaji.admin:
I used the datafs.rfs from JG6 and flashed the XXJPB. Its working fine. 18hrs no issues.

So I guess the datafs.rfs files can be mixed with other versions.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] xxx_xx_xxx:
Any suggestions.

I flashed my I5801 with JPB, obviously it boots up with I5800 ... :(

For now I have flashed back to DDJG6 and yeah still it boots up with I5800.

Is there any way I can get my 5801 boot image at startup ??

When Samsung releases Official Froyo, Is there any possibility that it will fix this issue ?

Any help or suggestion.. ?? :confused:
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] xensoul:
If you were to look around this section. I think you can find a guide to get back your bootloader.

[Galaxy 3 Android Development] FadeFx:

Well, I guess I should have known this before flashing JPB. :(

But I have already flashed with JPB, and lost my I5801 boot.....

Just wondering if there's any solution for this. :)

Went through this thread, but couldn't find a solution.. or maybe I couldn't get it.

[Galaxy 3 Android Development] precurse:
For those of you who are getting terrible battery life on their JPB setup...

Flash the JPA factoryfs onto your phone.. It should give the same battery life that JPA gives, with the driver fixes (the ambient light sensor mainly) that JPB offers..

Plus, only flashing the factoryfs.rfs file means there is no risk at bricking your phone.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Gsam101:
Or just flash JPB kernel on a JPA rom ?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] precurse:
Yeh or that.. I wrote that based on the fact that they were already running JPB.. So flashing the JPA factoryfs would be easiest. If they were running JPA already, then simply flashing the JPB kernel would suffice.

Anyone notice a bug that cuts your phone signal when you get an incoming call?? The signal strength bar when my phone rings the first time just completely dies for a second and cancels my call

using I5800XXJPB
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] stubborn_d0nkey:
just to report a possible bug.

With rooted jpb i couldn't recieve calls. I didn't get the call screen, and the call would end prematurely (signal loss or something similar). A reset solved that (and left me rooted). I still have rooted jpb but i dont have that problem problem anymore.

lol, didn't even look at the posts, seems like the same thing as the guy above

Hi Guys,

After going through entire thread, I have finally decided to upgrade my G3 to Android 2.2. I have few questions which i will appreciate if answered:

1. Apart for Android, there are many custom applications installed by Samsung. So if i want to revert back to DDJ6 and flash my phone with that ROM, will i get all the custom applications back?

2. Samsung has came up with a new phone Galaxy 5510 which has same hardware configuration but with sliding qwerty keyboard but with Android 2.2. Since this is a released version of android 2.2 by samsung, wouldnt it be better to flash with that ROM considering all the issues with JPB?

Thanks
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] FadeFx:
You could just try it, remove the bootloader files from the 5510 rom and you are perfectly safe, if it does not work you still have download mode to flash back

The Samsung apps are there for sure, eventually you could loose provider specific apps if any.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] jackass888:
XXJPB mostly works fine, but there are some annoying errors.

1. When voice calling there is a second of silence every ~5 sec. Speaker is totally muted. Makes it very hard to understand the other person.

2. Battery level indication is behaving strange. 1 call results in 50% -> 5%. Then the phone works for ~1 day more with that 5%. And plugging in the adapter the level goes instantly to 50% again. And with 5% camera& other stuff is disabled.

3. Gps is still slow even after all these fixes.Entering gpssetup2 seems to help.

Guess an the offical froyo is still "when its done"?

[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Techie87:
I think that wouldn't be a good idea. You'll possibly brick your phone.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] jaskiratsingh:
You are right. Also the ROM is different. It is not a tar file. It has different .tar.md5 files
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] FadeFx:
then it is for odin3 but you still could open the archive using total commander or izarc and move the content to a i5800 firmware tar. i dont think you can brick the device if you do not flash boot.bin and sbl.bin
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] stubborn_d0nkey:
I had something similar on eclair too. to solve the disabled stuff turn the phone off and on, when it turns on the battery should show 60% or 50%. If the battery was truly at 5% it will fall rapidly, if it was higher, or really at 50% it wont (i remember once i did that in the morning, it soon fell to 50% but kept at that level till the evening/night)

I used to use it as a joke to show the "power" of android. You just let the phone "sleep" for a bit and it recharges itself :P
