you will need to enable show extension to do it.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] jaskiratsingh:
Thanks xensoul....It worked after 20 tries ... phew

Does this have click sound bug?

can user mute ringtone with vol up down key?

How is the performance?

Guys another thing.. I have this issue that i am facing and havent got the fix. I have posted a separate question but got no answer. I am in India and network provider is Vodafone. I have enabled VMC pack to access net on phone. My gmail and official mails are auto synced but the problem is that it automatically disconnects the call and my cell becomes unreachable. If i disable background data, it works fine.

Does any one know a solution?

Thanks

Nope. Odin v4.252 accepts Images in *.tar and *.md5 format.

I just flashed from JPB to JPF. Just connect Galaxy3 to PC with USB Debugging enabled and put it in download mode. Choose correct files in Odin (OPS, BOOT, PHONE, PDA, CSC) and flash. Wipe is done automagical so You don't have to do it manually.

Yep. It works fine ;)

So far so good :)

Just don't flash the bootloader und everthing is fine 'cause you can always access downloadmode...

I am not quite sure whether this a bug or i did just something wrong, but after flashing the firmware and rooting with SuperOneClickRoot 1.5.5 the performance was very bad. It took more than 2-3 seconds until a input was noticed.

After flashing again without rooting the performance is ok.

Someone an idea what went wrong.

Fala sambastrakan, eu tb sou do Brasil e gosto muito desse nosso cel, só tem um problema, a droga do GPS, já instalei o programa do OCTY, já configurei o GPS e nunca ficou muito bom...só conecta de vez em quando e nunca quando eu realmente preciso rsrsrs...mas eu nunca mexi nesse arquivo GPS.CONF. A pergunta é como faço isso e qual a melhor configuração de GPS pra gente aki do Brasil? Eu sou do RJ...abraços.

Ola,

Bem, acredito que o dono do site não vai gostar se a gente falar português ... Todo mundo deve entender o que se fala por aqui ... tb, sou francês e é uma oportunidade de lembrar e praticar o inglês ... :-)

So :

- have a look here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=778880

- your phone needs to be rooted

- I put this in a text file on my computer :

NTP_SERVER=south-america.pool.ntp.org

XTRA_SERVER_1=http://xtra1.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin

XTRA_SERVER_2=http://xtra2.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin

XTRA_SERVER_3=http://xtra3.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin

SUPL_HOST=supl.google.com

SUPL_PORT=7276

- Then you have to write it on the phone :

- Log into the phone with "adb shell" and type "su" to be root user

- Type "mount" to see what partitions are mounted and search for /dev/block/xxxxx /system

- then type "mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/xxxxxxxx /system"

- now you can follow the instruction on the link above to write the gps.conf file.

It's not easy to explain ... hope you will understand !

*EDIT* An other way to modify this file easily is using SGS TooBox (this app will mount system partition in rw mode and you'll be able to edit the gps.conf file).

After that, you have to enable the XTRA option in gpssetup2 (you will find the code to launch this app in this forum)

Then, install GPS Status app on the market. Enable xtra file downloading.

And ... you will have o working GPS ... I know, it's not very easy ...

Sorte ai rapaz, abraço.

I didn't care about voiding my warranty so I flashed all 4 .tar files with only a small problem; The version of Odin I have kept crashing when I loaded a file. But when you start Odin again it accepts the file and allows you to flash.

Battery time seems to have been improved because with JPB, at this point in the day, I would have about 75% left whereas now, I still have a 100% reading. So this is good.

But the phone is still slow when going in and out of apps and back to launcher. I used ADW and sometimes the phone sits on a black screen for a long time. Then I have to press home and it comes back.

Still testing
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] odarcyjr:
Hi Guys ...

Performed yesterday that the installation of JPF and came to some conclusions?

- The battery is still not very lasting, reaching a 10 to 12 hours

- GPS is better, but the cellphone crashes kill the process everything is back to normal. I installed the GPS and GPS Fix Booster Lite and it works a bit faster, nothing extraordinary.

Sorry my English ...

Incidentally, when a firmware that will come out the Brazilian Portuguese dictionary interface and Swype?

Original Stock Android Lock by made?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] sambastrakan:
So, about battery management :

- After a little bit more than 24h, I'm with 50% (says Froyo). But, light use of my phone during this time... Without a doubt it's better than JPB version but worst than Eclair version I think.

- For the battery use details, Froyo says that Galery app used 43% ... and I used it about 3 minutes ! Arrrrg, if it's true it's better to not visualize photos on this phone ...

Others details of battery use : Display: 32%, Cel stand-by 12%, Phone stand-by 6%, vocal calls 4%, Android System 2%

Conclusion : Not so good but not so bad and GPS works. I stay with this version; waiting for the next one ...
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] FadeFx:
Try replacing the gallery with the sgs modded gallery using sgs tools... that fixed the battery problem earlier, but will have graphical glitches at the background.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Saka911:
Not a Good Firmware this JPF

I had been Might satisfied with normal JPA earlier because I dont Use GPS much and that was by far the only problem irritating in that. now that I have gone to JPF lots of problems have arised:

1)Everything, from market to gallery(mostly system apps) have a habit to force close when used for more then 5 mins

2)Battery drain is much more significant then JPA

3) Call Clicks have arisen in this firmware. :(

This is very bad from samsung. Honestly I know while we are not paying for these firmwares, we have a right to demand the best software from samsung because we did pay a price for the hardware...
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] LePeR1898:
Don't know whats up with yours but i know i haven't charged mine for almost 24 hours now with light use and its at 80% still.. with JPA by now i'd be close to dying so i'd have to say its an improvement by far

energy management

Hi,

Opinions about battery life differs (Same comments in a french forum), and it's normal : we don't have a test+configuration protocols that can waranty we've done the same things with the same configuration in every FW we test ...

For example, I'm using my phone with Datas network disabled. perhaps someone not happy with battery life is using datas transfers in backgroung, without perceive it ...

Other example : I would say that the black point of this JPF version is the Gallery app : it drains a lot of energy ! But ... I can't remember if I used it testing JPA ... Impossible to remember everything, there is a lot of parameters and App on the phone, there are also the Apps we add, different versions ...

Anyway, my phone is yet with 50% after 34hours. Impossible to be formal in saying how much it's better or worst than JPA/JPB or Eclair. But it's "usable" with my configuration and kind of use.

The fact is : Gallery app have to be improved !! or not ... who knows if it's not a bad information (battery used for this app) given by froyo ? :o

Note : Froyo is now saying that Gallery used 51% of my battery ... yesterday it was 43% ... and I didn't use it since yesterday ... so we can doubt a lot of battery usage informations given by Froyo ...

We need a Samsung developer to know about this ! :)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] s3th.g3ck9:
Looks like the bug with the sensors in the gallery is still there... install the modded gallery from sgs tools.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] stubborn_d0nkey:
i know its not ideal, but do a reboot (not reset) if you (constantly) have the gallery (or anything else) shown as taking up a hefty chunk of the battery, dont wait for the system to kill it, it most likely wont (:

you do realize that this is not an official firmware form samsung? wait till that comes out before blaming samsung for the bad firmware. Right now, though, you can easily blame em for being so freakin slow
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] sambastrakan:
Hmmm, Gallery doesn't appears in tasks list neither services list. So I think it's not running ? or it's hidden ??? if hidden it's very pervet !! :D

Experience with using JPF...

Hi guys,

I tried this FW JPF about 24h and i can say is better than JPA/JPB I think . I can use GPS without any GPS fix . It take about 1-2 minutes to found satelite but after that work well . I tried 5x and only for onetime doesn't found location because I use it less than 1 minutes .

I found bug when I use GPS with NAVIGON aplication and tuch centre buttom to do call or any other thing . After that and going back to NAVIGON my mobile become very slow . So I think when anybody want use GPS must use only GPS when you do somethink else mobile will be very slow after that and nothing can help you . Only restart...

Someone told about galery I found this bug in JPA/JPB too . This when appear battery drain is big and only restart help .

I do some Linpack and Quadrant test with Lag-fix and without but I didn't see any change . With Lag-fix V2 I get results Linpack = 2,879 and Quadrant = 359 and without anything I get (I reflash JPF) Linpack = 2,989 and Quadrant = 359 . Linpack I did about three times and get different results but isn't so big differences .

Call bug disappear for me and I did about four call's .

What about battery drain in this FW I don't know yet... But someone told that in this thread... It's better for all turn off 3G/EDGE I do that in JPA/JPB and battery life improve and I can use phone for 3 days . Simply touch and hold power bottom and when appear menu chose VPN off...

Sorry for my english...

Gallery and battery

I think gallery is running for wallpaper. If you use a picture as wallpeper it is presented by gallery application. This causes higher battery usage for gallery application.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] drh123:
click problem

Do you experiences click during call when all feedback (audeible selection, vibrate etc...) is disabled in settings-sounds menu?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] stubborn_d0nkey:
its not due to setting a custom wallpaper. I have one and gallery is not showing.

I just checked and it seems that im not getting the gallery bug, so maybe you should disregard that.

thats why you should reboot.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] naganumolu:
Yes i am also having this problem after flashing JPF
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] soulstaker:
which problem ?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] lilica:
Let me get this straight, I write what you said in one file, txt notepad, then I change the extension to .conf .... after I copy the file to the folder system etc?

Well, if so, did not work .. .. i did and he finds a lot of satellites but does not connect .. other day I got the motorola defy of a friend and I turned on the GPS inside the house, only stood by the window and the GPS phone connected!!! I think the Samsung does not do gps very good hehe.. I had the same problem with my other one the omnia ... anyway ... you would have any other cluea? Thank you for your help and thanks for teaching me some stuff .. I'm kinda new in the world of android ...Abração!!!
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] sambastrakan:
Before copying the file to /system/etc you have to put it first on your sdcard.

Note that your phone have to be rooted.

You have to put the partition /system in read-write.

Then, as a root user you will be able to type : cat /sdcard/gps.conf > /system/etc/gps.conf

--> Reboot the phone !

Note : to copy the file form sdcard to /system/etc, you can make it from your PC with adb command but also with Terminal emulator (available in the market). Same thing with terminal emulator : type "su" to be root, then mount /system in rw mode, etc ...

Strange you have visibles satellites but not connected ...

verify the gps.conf with : cat /system/etc/gps.conf (you don't need to be root to do that, use Terminal emulator !)

verify that you have XTRA selected in gpssetup2.

install GPS Status from the market.

I'm new in the Android world too but I have an IT background, that helped ...

Anyway, GPS sucks on this phone ...
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] shajumohamed:
OK battery is draining really quick. i think even quicker than JPB. gallery used 73% of battery and i havent opened it even once.

is it safe to uninstall gallery app. is there any gallery replacements.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] munio1000:
could someone send an screenshot with odin settings when flashing JPF?? Did I must change bootloader when flashing this firmware?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] jaskiratsingh:
Hi guys

Its been over 24 hours, I am using this ROM. Here are my comments:

1. I charged my phone to 100% on the morning. After 12 hours of usage in which more than 4 hours with music, data connection active, google latitude running continuously in the background, my battery is 20%. I feel it is comparable with ddj6, though I never kept data connection ON in ddj6 due to issues with voice calls.

2. I have used gallery but it doesn't show in my battery usage. My display uses over 90% of the battery.

3. I have heard clicks during calls but it happened only in two calls. Twice on one call and once in another call. rest of the calls were perfect.

4. No application crashes as earlier experienced in jpa or jpb or hybrid, no offense guys. Though I feel the ROM slower than these two.

5. Ringer volume doesn't with volume key which is bad

6. The signature in email, not gmail, doesn't show line break, which is displayed in original ROM

I dont use GPS on this phone soo cannot comment on its performance.

I will try to keep the data disabled with no music and them see how long does this battery lasts
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] jaskiratsingh:
Don't choose bootloader. If anything wrong happens you might end up bricking your phone.

Uncheck one package and choose all files individually except bootloader. I was having issue with odin crashing time and again but after 20 tries it worked. Try not connecting your phone, load the md5 files and then connect the phone. I don't think loading order matters, so

Hit and trial different combinations
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] munio1000:
thanks for that, so I must choose 3 files - PDA,PHONE,CSC?

Question: Is it normal to flash your phone in 2minutes? In my last phone HTC touch pro with WinMo it takes about 10-15 minutes ;P
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] sambastrakan:
you're right !

I just downloaded Advanced Task Killer and put it in low security level. then I reboot the phone and launch ATK ... Gallery app is running at startup !

As it represent about 50% of battery use ... it's important to find a way to prevent it to launch at startup !

Others app are launched at startup : Gmail, Android market even if wifi and data network are disabled. is there a way to prevent this ?

I restart one more time, this time process running are :

- Gallery again (after choosing a default wallpaper, that sucks !!)

- Gmail

- market

- Titanium backup ---> why ???

- Skype ---> why ???

Where can we select the app to be launched or not at startup ??
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] lilica:
Sambastrakan Thanks again! with your tip i could see that the file gps.conf was written wrong .. I used a program called super manager, its very good , it is free in the market and everything can be done with the system, copy, paste, edit system files and so on...I rewrote gps.conf and copied to the folder etc in the system. I hope everything went right this time, I will test soon and then I'll let you know, abração e muito obrigado!!!
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Wild Thing UK:
Ok my view

1 battery life very good 80% after 24 hours

2 phone ringer does not work all the time hence lost calls

3 poor signal strength

4 calls fail

5 gps rubbish no lock

other minor niggles

not great going back to eclair

Gallery

Hi guys,

about gallery . I have applications call QuickSetting.apk and in this applications you are able see which think drain battery most ! When gallery appear in this applications in battery section is it bad for battery life . I saw this gallery here only for several times . So I think that is some bug becouse after restart disappear and battery life is better until appear again...

Hi Guys!

Has anyone problem with the Camera on this FW JPF? When I'm takin' photo once is OK, but the next picture causing Camera error and then I can only touch OK. Has anyone any idea how it could be fixed?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] sambastrakan:
Yes, I think that Gallery is the guilty for poor battery life. To be shure I'm going to make a test : full battery charge, kill Gallery process. If battery level is good after 2 days then Gallery process is responsible for draining battery ...

See you in 2 days ! :)

Hope there is a way to disable Gallery when we don't need it ...
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] sambastrakan:
I don't have this issue ...

If you installed JPF without hard reset / wipe data/cache before ...then try it now ?

ok for me the new firmware is fine without any bugs so far but the battery back is not that good after 12 hrs withot aything in use it drained almost 40% of batter used for just few mins but the reception out here is not that good so it might be cause of it too will keep updated gona use this for som more time

XXJPF Usage Experiance

Used the JPF for past 48hrs.

Its stable. Usable for daily use. Battery is stable than JPB. For my usage, it withstands for 36+ hrs without issues.

No issue of the 3s blank in phone call.

Gallery is still causing battery drain, but I don't use it, so it is not severe.

Rooted with Oneclick, took some time, but successfully rooted.

Camera works fine only if GPS is activated. Else the camera crashes when storing the captured image.

Installed FasterFix, changed the ntp to asia. It crashes at the end, but successfully updates the gps.conf (/system/etc/gps.conf).

After this GPS is working fine without any additional supports...

Muting the incoming call still doesn't work with volume keys.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] mobile9999:
Flashed the JPF two days back. Here is my summary report on JPF version

- Battery usage better than JPB, but i think drained faster than JPA

- GPS works fine, after adjusted gpssetup2 and edited gps.conf

- No click sound or break during call

- Proximity sensor working

- Signal strength in settings normal, no longer "0"

- Camera working fine, even without gps on

- Rooted easily with super one click

- No more double telco operator sign at the notification bar after HP weak signal

Overall, the touch screen quite responsive, gallery and my file open up fast.

Minor issues,

- HP number input in keypad showing the "-" separator

- Application size in "Manage application" shown without unit , ie kb or Mb

- 1 or 2 times turned sluggish after FC

- No newer JIT
