[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Auzy:
Guess what, I've been double checking whether your claim is provable, and I now have clearer evidence now than ever that it isn't (unless you own an oscilloscope and dismantled your SGS at least).. You seem to have made one huge mistake! You assumed that schematics WERE available what you didn't realise, is that the only ones which seem to be available at this time were botched. Samsung seems to have forgotten the Memory controller diagram. If you had read them in detail, you would know that (unless the ones you used aren't available on near-to-top-links on Google).

To reproduce evidence that DamianGTO is possibly wrong/lying

Firstly, "Like i already say you need to look in the electronic schematic to see what things is and read what they used for."

Ok.. So firstly, google i9000 schematics. ALL links I can find point to the service manual. So get the service manual.. Please note, he said schematics specifically.. There are a few diassembly's, but they can only act as a guide.

After downloading the manual, flip through it quickly to get a feel. If you are Damian, you are done at this point.

You can either use a teardown and then compare the images to the chips on troubleshooting (8-2-1) to identify where the memory chip is, or the Electrical part list. Either way, the flash memory is designated as UME301 on diagrams. The "sec-code" (1107-001876) listed isn't googable, and appears to be a generic service part number (in google using "1107-001876", there doesn't seem to be any correct links).

Firstly, go to 8-6. Notice how almost everything is on a capacitor (even the battery)? That's probably because unlike DamianGTO seems to believe, caps aren't really a battery replacement.. They might both store power, but simply the fact that they store power doesn't mean a capacitor can replace it.

Notice how it doesn't mention at all the farads and that if you look the caps up on the electrical part list pdf you can't google them? That's probably because those codes aren't manufacturer ID's..

Lets assume all of those guys disassembled their units completely though to get proper part numbers/farads or have such awesome eyesight that the disassemblies were visible enough.

One item of notice, the memory would need to draw less power or/and have a more powerful capacitor to shut off after the CPU and rest of the system if there was any truth to this rumor. If they shut off simultaneously, the memory controller would still receive data as it was shutting off.

Lets also assume all of these guys have oscilloscopes and dismantled their SGS (as I assume that would be required).

Now for the interesting part.. In Troubleshooting, try finding a schematic with UME301 directly.. NONE EXISTS!!! In other samsung manuals they had that. So this makes it a bit harder.. Look at the final page and a pinout for UME301 exists.

Hmmm. So where do Vdd and Vss come from? I've been trying to find a schematic which says, but am having serious trouble. Unless I'm going blind (I checked 3x), the manual has a missing link at the memory controller! Oh noez. If it's from the same power source as the rest of the chips, then I wonder if it has a unique capacitor?

Note, Switching between Foxit and Adobe Acrobat don't seem to change the way the document is rendered. So it seems the only schematic on the internet I can find simply seems to be missing it, and it probably isn't a PDF rendering bug.

I'm happy to eat my words, but you said to use the schematics, I did, and the seemingly only one available (the service manual) is missing the section required to prove your claim. But from my (amateur) research, you sir, don't seem to have proven anything. If someone did test it, it wasn't yourself, because you are not only unable to provide information, but the way you obtained it seems incorrect... That doesn't mean the claim is wrong, but it does strongly suggest that the claim was never actually tested (at least by yourself). So, HOW did you personally prove this (just so we can all learn). Do you own an oscilloscope, and what are the specifications for the capacitors? I don't think you do, which makes debating with you, a waste of my time. But if you really are being honest, state how you tested it accurately, I'll disappear from XDA and stop adding disclaimers to everything you post. But from what I see here, those disclaimers appear to have a lot of credibility...

Btw, you noticed how I produced a procedure, for others to replicate so the group can tell me if I'm doing it wrong? Well, that's how you create facts. Just remember, Steve Jobs is top man at Apple, and he stood on stage and told everyone the iPhone 4 antenna wasn't flawed. "Top developer" means very little. It doesn't suddenly prove a claim. The top QA guy at Intel also approved the release of the P67 chipset. HELLO RECALL!!!
