I have upgraded from stock 2.1, and I have found that it works well. Kinda glad that Samsung and Bell took a while to work out all the bugs and what-nots that made a smooth 2.2. I've noticed that battery life is better, and they've also added an option to turn off Data. When you hold the power button you have that option to turn it off and the battery lasts even longer. For someone like me that doesn't have apps that Auto-update and doesn't use data during the day while I'm at work, it saves battery life so much. They've also changed the icon sizes slightly, I've noticed.

HOW

How do you do that?

My phone got what seems to be the internal SD failure, and I'm getting the dbdata error, unable to mount E:, etc.

I can't even format internal memory in the recovery mode because of this error. How would did you format it?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rod90:
My phone locked up on the black screen the other night, and would boot into the black screen on resetting every which way possible. only way to recover was booting into recovery and doing a factory reset.

After reset I managed to update to JK4 through Kies but really is quadrant only supposed to score 980? a 100 point increase from 2.1 with added lag? its dissapointing because on 2.1 with lagfix it would score 2200+

Is there a one click root for JK4 yet? to get lag fix installed? or is my internal SD dying?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] shadoslayer:
Quadrant scores does not reflect real world performance. There are many posts on this in the forums. My phone is snappier now with jk4 than it was with 2.1 stock with voodoo, even though I had a higher quadrant score with 2.1.

As for root, z4 works I believe, do a search or install a custom kernel.

And as for your sd, it doesn't sound like the usual symptoms.

Don't know about you guys, but my GPS no longer works.

It was sorta ok with JK3, but I'm unable to get a lock at all with JK4.

Ever use a lagfix?

[Galaxy S I9000 General] wang1chung:
if you really want to update to froyo, but kies isn't showing an update, uninstall kies, reboot, and re-install kies. mine had the same issue, even when i flashed to jg8 it wouldn't even show jh2 as an update.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] billypg:
Ok so I called Samsung and they tell me I have to bring the phone to Bell because the GPS firmware needs to be updated. Problem is I'm out of Canada for a month :(

Can you try and post back if you get the GPS firmware version that needs to be flashed?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] wang1chung:
use the "secret codes" to get to the gps tester menu, and run the test (can't remember which one as my phone is in for repair!), and give it about 5-10 minutes to get a solid lock on 8 birds, then you'll be fine.

i had the same issue.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tony604:
My gps wouldnt locj either. I just left the maps open for a LONG time. It finally got a lock and now locks pretty quickly whenever I need it
[Galaxy S I9000 General] billypg:
I just called Bell and they told me to update the GPS Navigation software through their mobile web page (which only works on the Bell network apparently). I'm not sure this would update the "GPS firmware" and I'm nowhere near the Bell network.

When I go to the secret code *#*#3214789650#*#* and run the "Get Position Test" it can only lock 3 satellites. Was this the test you were referring to?

EDIT: getting 9 sat's now .. it magically fixed itself hmmm

However the GPS started working after launching Bell's Navigation app, quiting and then launching the GPS test using the secret code. I don't know if launching the Navigation app had anything to do with it, just telling what I did when it started working.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] urself25:
Oddest thing happened to my phne during lunch. After messing with Google maps to get a GPS lock, which did not happen. I shutdown my phone and restarted it again to check if a reboot would help. I may have hold the power button for too long but once it rebooted, all of my apps disappeared. My Sd cards workes properly. But it seems that my phone reseted itself without my doing. Has it happened to anyone of you?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AvatarReborn:
Yeah the guy at bell had no clue what I was talking about.

However he did tell me the self serve is down.

Nah, i just bailed out before the charges. And using other carrier's 3G so it was asking for a username :D .. different carrier and a non Bell SIM
[Galaxy S I9000 General] p0gsss:
Hi all, after updating to official bell froyo, its like a night and day experience. I was about to give up on my phone with a 2.1 in it because it was so laggy i had to wait like literary 20 secs for each action that i do. But now everything just seems so fast and snappy!

Inspite of all this great new experience, I notice that the google map/navigation could no longer get my current location. It always says "Your current location is temporary unavailable". Am I the only one having this experience?. Because before I updated to froyo, everything was working perfectly fine. I didnt even have to turn on the GPS, just the 3G and it will lock on easily. Before I did the update, I wiped everything off and did a clean factory reset so everything should work. ODD..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] utsmaster18:
Wifi

Is anyone having WIFI problems? My wifi seems to just disconnect at random and sometimes will not even connect to my home router. It does this randomly and not all the time but enough that it is annoying.

I don't have any other problems and Froyo's been amazing to my phone. Just this wifi issue

Anyone else have this or find a way to fix it?

i tried thejk3 and jk4 leaks and the jk4 was very slow and even crashed on me one vibrate then 3 vibrate rolled back to jk3 and i have no problem since
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Singhman:
today, i plugged my phone in and put on a mp3 track to listen to...after about 20 seconds, the phone vibrated, and then a few more really fast vibrations, and then the mp3 turned off. I tried to turn on screen, but it was just black. I started pushing buttons randomly and then the pre-home screen came on (where it says sweep screen to unlock),and it said "no service", and started doing the 'scanning media' stuff... It basically sort of "re-started" the phone, but without the the samsung logo screens.

is this a sign that my phones about to go bye bye? I can't stand this phone...keep trying to love it, but it always lets me down. (its like having a really hot girlfriend who keeps letting you down, has mood swings, and treats you like crap, but you stay with her because shes sooo hot!)...hopefully i have my phone for christmas.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] belayson:
yes this has happened to me! A little disappointing as I thought it was a nice surprise to see all my apps still there, lots a lot of the high scores in my games to unfortunately lol.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ryanjj2000:
I agree, I am officially on my 5th one. I have had 3 with bad internal sd and 1 that was my fault. I have no lag fix, not rooted. Its to the point that I am scared to touch this fragile phone. I no longer like this phone. It had so much promise. I will never purchase anything samsung again. Their quality control is the worst. I love the android os but I will just have to find another hardware provider.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Zb134:
I had no problems installing Froyo, but now booting if I switch off the phone takes longer than before.

Also, while Froyo is much faster when it comes to installing apps, I find that scrolling through the homescreen and application screen is very laggy compared to before.

This I fixed by using LPP instead.

I am also, having trouble with WIFI not switching on at times. I have to go to setting and select it for it to work or toggle airplane mode.

Overall, I am very happy with the new text selection and the flash support. Also, I am able to connect to Kies everytime now, whereas before it was very unpredictable.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dunxxt:
I'm having this problem too, about 24 hours into froyo. I actually had this problem too with 2.1 but instead of taking a screen shot upon pressing home, it would open a search menu (depending on the app). Wtf is going on here? Does a reset actually fix this?

So far everything else looks good (minus GPS :( )
[Galaxy S I9000 General] urself25:
Got the GPS workig today after trying for 24h. It was seeing 5-6 sat with locking into them. After 5-6 minutes it finally did and now it's locking up in less than 60 sec. The first time it locked to sat was during a GPS Position Test in the service menu. I'm using it Ms Based, cold Start and 30m accuracy.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nemethb:

[Galaxy S I9000 General] n0th1ng:
This exact same thing happened to me the other day. I went to play a song in Poweramp and the phone went black. I kept getting the force close vibration sequence. I eventually did a factory reset and everything is fine now...but what a pain to have to deal with.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] urself25:
I just was to report a bug with froyo. If you place app on your home screen that are located on your SD Card, if you shutdown your phone and boot it after, the link will have disappeared

Remedy: Transfer the app on your phone memory.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] devonblue4u:
nemethb, thanks for recommending the factory reset. It's been about a week and things work quite well with minimal freezes (hey, you can only do so much with 512 megs of memory..). Even the app screen runs smooth. Good call.

Just got my Galaxy back from repair today - tried to install JK4 in Kies right away, but it says no upgrade available (it came back with JH2). Did they pull it?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] BlackDino:
same issue here..

looks like it has been pulled.

maybe they were overwhelmed by the amount of internal sd repairs
[Galaxy S I9000 General] got_milk:
We think JK4 on Kies has been pulled. In the Internal SD poll thread, an ambitious user called Samsung and they explained that as of today new policies are being implemented regarding the internal SD issue.

They have a service center (we're not 100% sure on location or name) that's specifically handling these particular phones. The rep claimed that their repair method is a low level reflash...the issue is software-based, which we were discovering after users found they could use adb to push and pull files off the "dead" SD card, but Android wouldn't mount it. Estimated turnaround time is 5 days.

While there are devices dying due to malfunctioning hardware it appears many more are dying to the software, which is throwing off the polls right now.

It appears that Samsung is acting fast on this one, a small Facebook announcement was made: http://www.facebook.com/samsungmobilecanada/posts/166184006757332

Hopefully we'll see a new and improved update fixing this soon. In the meantime, I don't know if I should rollback to JH2 or if I should stay on JK4 (I've had no issues so far).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lxfontes:
So options now:

Stay with jk4. factory reset every time it crashes

Downgrade to jk3

Downgrade to jh2

Go with Doc / Idan Bell rom 1.3

my phone had the same problem yesterday, turned off and got stuck at boot screen vibrating like crazy.

flashed jk4 via kies ( was still available ) and it's back to life again.

I might give another 4 hours for jk4 to behave, after that I'm going with Doc's rom.

I was using Doc's Bell rom (1.1 -> 1.2 > 1.3) and had my phone die this week, after weeks of perfect operation. I was not using any of the lagfixes.

So, I wouldn't consider that to be particularly safe either.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] HiKsFiles:
Funny (well, not that much!) how mine bricked itself today after posting the update from Samsung Canada's Facebook page. :mad:

It's on its way to the repair center now...

I updated it to Froyo on the morning the update came out and it's been running like a charm since then.

It just went dead without any notice whatsover.

Never rooted it, never lagfixed it, never used Odin or any other flash tool... it was plain stock.

What a perfect timing, just a few days before Christmas. I'll be lucky if I get it back within a month! :mad: :mad:

SD Card failure. Send it in for repair or replacement
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Ifligus:
I'm having the exact same issue on Bell and it's really annoying me. Actually, it's getting worse - pressing the Home button doesn't always unfreeze the back button. I did a factory reset as part of the upgrade process to be sure there were no bad leftovers from 2.1. I rooted my phone with Super OneClick Root, and used Titanium backup to restore some of my apps and user data (but NOT system data/apps). At this point, I'm not sure if I'll wait for Samsung to release an updated firmware or just do a plain vanilla reinstall with no rooting / restoring.

I don't suppose you've found a magical solution in the meantime?

EDIT - The number for Samsung is 1-888 not 1-800. Their email box responded within an hour and after a 20 min phone call I now have my UPS Shipping label to send the i9000M off for repair to St Laurent/Que. I did not need my original receipt (whew... )

How can i downgrade to jh2?

Hey guys my sgs is running on froyo and so far so good; however i need to unlock the device and i know how to do it with JH2 firmware and not on JK4, so here is my question, how can i roll back to the original jh2 from bell? also i want to stop using jk4 before my phone dies.

cheers.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] shadoslayer:
If your 9000m is going to die, it will die, no matter what the firmware.

Regardless, if you want to flash back to jh2, just download the tarball from samsung-firmwares.com, get Odin, and flash the tarball in PDA along with the 512 pit and click repartition to ensure a clean flash. If you're still not sure, search the forums, there are all kinds of threads on how to use Odin.

You'll have to add your apn after the flash, but the instructions are on bell's website for the nexus 1, same deal.

If you are on FRG83 (not FRG83D) you can use VISIONary by Modaco. It can be found here:

http://android.modaco.com/content/software/320350/19-nov-r14-visionary-one-click-root/

First things first, place a ROM (I recommend CM modified that removes the hboot require for 0.33.0012 check found here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=VLBH27Z0) on the root of your sdcard, along with a zip of gapps.

Next, open up VISIONary, and make sure Temproot on boot and Set system r/w after root are checked. Then click Temproot Now

Next install via terminal the Amon_RA recovery 2.0 found here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=611829

After rebooting into recovery, wipe cache/data, flash the ROM then the gapps you placed in your sdcard earlier.

That's it!

*note that if you install CM, update ROM manager through the market, and make sure you flash recovery version 2.5.1.4 (found under "All ClockworkMod Recoveries")
