Hey mate i've just updated to 2.2.1 using the asian ZSJPJ firmware from samfirmware and have no trouble connecting to kies. (the new 2.0.0.11032_12 version) So if that is your only concern i wouldn't let it hold you back. JPJ is also the first firmware that ive been able to use windows sync centre with flawlessly so i would highly recommend it. Anyway good luck.

I used SGS tools to get to the GPS test menu and changed the accuracy down to 20 metres. Seemed to make a difference in performance for Navigon.

I also downloaded GPS Aids. Although I didn't apply any for the fixes/settings from that app. I figure I'd keep it and use it one day if it calls for it..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Callumgw:
ok now I am getting confused.

I've been told that registry patch will let me use KIES to upgrade, and therefore keep the KIES compatability....but I also read that the latest version of KIES kills that off and it now doesn't work, as of March 2011. Can anyone confirm?

Windows Sync Centre working with Android? really? thats the first mention I've seen of that one. Definately worth looking at because KIES is 'average' but I couldn't find a better option.

I'd like to keep my warranty, and don't have the time to play around with custom roms, backups, re-loads.......etc. So I want a simple solution thats reliable and keeps the outlook sync option open (which means KIES at this stage).

Thanks for the help so far.

You can't upgrade to a rom that your carrier has not given you and keep your warranty. You could always flash back to your original rom though if you needed to do a warranty repair. Just upgrade it to a new custom rom. Although the new version will not likely make any difference to the trouble you are having with those apps, and the dev most likely used it as a scapegoat. And there would definately be other programs that would sync your phone with outlook. There's probably apps that do it wirelessly too. GOOGLE.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sambo89:
may be a n00b question but i ahve spent time on google etc trying to look for the answer and still ahve not shed light on it. I want to root my phone and get rid of telstras bloatware but i dont exactly know which would be the correct firmware. Eg asia, usa europe? Also darky's rom what is that like is it better than the standed samsung os? any info on this or just pointing me into the right direction would be great thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 General] silashack:
Darkys is a good intro to a full custom rom, the thing to be wary of, is the modem, you need to ensure you get a modem that works for the nextg you have.

A build is basically three parts

Kernel

Modem

ROM

The kernel is a personal choice, darkys is heavy on settings and options that can affect any other builds you may want to try.

The Modem is VERY important for you as a telstra user, check previous post in this thread for suggestions specific to your carrier

The rom is again a personal choice, depends on your needs, speed or feature.

I prefer to use the romkitchen to make my own up, I then 'tweak' it with my own sounds and software before I install it, for me, it is easier to work with than a full darkys.

Any build you make will remove the bloatware, but make sure there is nothing in there that you NEED ;-)

I myself use virgin and did not have issue with bloatware, but wanted to customise my own experience, I tend to cook a new rom nearly weekly due to the fantastic changes going on in the SGS scene, I am NOT going near gingerbread till they get something a lot more stable, I need to use the phone as a phone now and then :)

maybe not the full answer you wanted, but opens the door to more ? for you

Hi

Anyone tried XXJVK on a Optus phone. I am on XWJS7 which has been quite stable and bug free. How does this update compare with 2.21?

Thanks

Using now on vodafone. Very smooth but jvk modem drained a lot in standby... I use the jve modem now.

Or you could try a doc rom beta jvk and select the bujp5 modem

I'm using JVK on an Optus SGS.

It's running quite well. A few small bugs need ironed out yet, but doesn't really affect my phone and how I use it.

All you will have to do is manually adjust a few APN settings, and you'll be good to go until the official release, which doesn't seem so far away now.

Edit: And my battery life has been great.

Issue with Contac history

Only just noticed a problem with my current set-up and was wondering if anyone else has had the same issue/knows how to fix it. Im on 2.2.1 Doc Rom JPJ hardcore kernel. Everything is sweet except when i try to go into a single contacts history, it appears for one second then goes away and says no history. This is despite the fact that if i look at the combined contact history section all my message/phone call history appears.

(On a side note im from illawarra and changed my modem from ZSJPG to XXJPY and am getting much better 3g speeds however there is also higher batter drain, which doesnt bother me. Would recommend for anyone wanting the extra reception and doesnt mind sacrifising some battery)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] electrotune1200:
If you want to ease the battery drain a bit on the JPY modem.

Go to Settings>Wireless & network>Wi-Fi settings.

Uncheck Network notification.

and then hit the menu button in that same section, tap advanced.

Set the Wi-Fi sleep policy to when the screen turns off.

You'll get much more battery life.

@Rlorange

i had similar drain

installed jvk last nite

i had noticed a lot of stuff running in back ground clearded memory

but made no differance (was expected ) but needed recharge

standby most of day

ffs friday n league on soon

temped to change kenel

but nutha beer

lol

just know somethings not right
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rlorange:
Forget the kernel mate... I tried everything and ended up being the modem. You can easily change it with no hassles either a cmw update via zip or use odin pda slot no pit. Jve modem is the best but try bujp5 as well. just put modem.bin file in odin and flash away :)

Edit can't post the modem file easily from my phone sorry! Um go to darkys rom thread he has heaps, of modems in a link somewhere get bujp5. If you dont have cmw recovery with stick jvk kernel just, extract the, modem.bin file from the, zip and use odin pda slot no pit. Promise it will fix the drain issue,:)

Hey, I was having (still am) a battery drain issue and have tried both those modems currently still on JVE but ill still seems to drain quickly.

Running Darkys Rom 9.5, was originally running the Dark Core Kernel but noticed it wasnt saving my Wifi Sleep policy settings so i switched to Speedmod which seems to have solved that problem.

my phones has dropped 2% while typing this response.

Any ideas? I have ran it completely down to nothing and fully charged it but no effect.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Rupert_Murdoch:
Hi All,

Pretty bewildering selection of ROMs, modems, themes etc. :) I'm currently on JPY Stock 2.2.1 with an i9000t on Next G network. I'd like to look at GB but not sure if it's ready for every day use. I use my phone pretty damn hectically (is that even a word?? :)) and it needs to be reliable. So I guess I'm asking

Is GB as reliable as Froyo day to day? If so, which GB ROM should I flash, along with which modem?

Is battery life better or worse? I generally have to charge my phone after 6 - 10 hours depending on usage and I'd hate for it to be any worse than that.

Does everything work with GB? I've heard of the Gallery being missing etc.

I've tried reading a number of threads here and on whirlpool but there doesn't seem to be a general consensus - some people are saying GB works fine and others saying it doesn't.

I'm happy to read other posts to stop people having to repeat themselves, just point me in the right direction.

Edit: Can someone explain why you would want to flash GB without updating the bootloaders? Aside from the whole "If the bootloader flash craps out you are left with a brick" issue....

Cheers. :)

Stock jvk us nearly perfect! With the i9000t tho will have to flash a modem that supports next g... try jl2. And use the supercurio hack kernel so you use cmw updates :)

[Galaxy S I9000 General] :
Rupert,

Download ODIN and flash the latest 2.3.3 JVK thats floating around the forums. You must flash it WITH bootloaders (GB has corruptions without these updated bootloaders - there's no reason not to upgrade them - you can always downgrade back to 2.2.1 if necessary on these updated bootloaders)

I'm on Optus and always had issues with the standard JPY modem that everyone was raving about for a while. The new JVK modem in the 2.3.3 release works excellently for me - best yet.

Batterly life on JVK is amazing - best yet. On 2.2.1, I would hardly get 1 day. On JVK, I'm getting 2 days+ per charge.

Now is the time to upgrade to gingerbread.. the JVK 2.3.3 release is great. Fast without any lagfixes, good modem, stable.

Upgrade it with the bootloaders, don't look back mate :-)

EDIT - sorry, missed your question "why would anyone want to update without the bootloaders?" --- updating the bootloaders can be risky; if its done and something goes wrong, you have a brick. In saying that though, unless you suddenly rip out the USB cord during the 2 split seconds when ODIN is doing that part of the update, you're fine mate.

When I first flashed 2.3.3 through ODIN, once booted and actually in gingerbread, everything working 100% fine, I played with system files trying to get the screen-off animation to work and wrecked the install and got stuck in a boot-loop like 4 times. I reflashed through ODIN with bootloaders like 6 times everytime I messed up the install. Its safe, just make sure you're careful with that USB cord :P
[Galaxy S I9000 General] :
Just in general for all the aussies out there, the JVK 2.3.3 release on XDA is perfect! I reccommend the upgrade for everyone.

Its faster than any optimised 2.2.1 cooked ROM (ie, darkys). Battery life kills anything before it, I'm getting 2-3 days when I was getting less than a day on Froyo. Screen-off animation is soooo cool. I'm actually liking the stock TW launcher now that its not so laggy in gingerbread.

All I've done since flashing JVK is installed the screen-off animation, the gingerbread keyboard and rooted with CF-root.

Only issues reported so far... the bottom soft-buttons are always lit up when the screen is on... isn't a major issue. And no shutdown sound. Thats all folks.. and those aren't major issues to me.

Make the update through ODIN w/ bootloaders, don't look back. The instructions on the JVK thread in the General forum are more than comprehensive enough for a noob to follow.

For those on Telstra Next G, you'll have to reflash the JVK modem with a modem that supports next g.

I don't reccommend those without a technical mind to try install the screen-off animation (replace the framework-res file). I stuffed my phone 4 or 5 times trying to do this and finally got it working by using ADB is CWM mode rather than whilst booted into android itself.

Hope this helps some of you...

hey guys

when i updated my galaxy to 2.2.1 i had not removed lagfix and root. after update i saw that oclf did not let me do lagfix or anything.

my question is, now that i have a 2.3.3 update available on kies, is there anything i should do before updating to fix this problem?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] :
Oh, and one final note - IMHO, just flash the stock JVK 2.3.3 firmware (here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1011901 ) for the time being...

Don't worry about cooked ROMs found in the Android Development threads. For ages these ROM cooks were trying to make 2.2 and 2.2.1 into gingerbread. We now have gingerbread - just enjoy it. There's not too much these custom ROMs can offer at the moment.... install the stock JVK and sit back, watch the Android Development forum and wait for one of the ROM cooks to come up with something cool to really expand on 2.3.3. Give darky a couple of weeks.. I'm sure he'll have something to rock our socks. Until then.. enjoy stock 2.3.3, its awesome.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sxi200:
To those worried about losing their apn settings after flashing a new rom I recommended you download 'apn backup & restore' from market.

Simply run the backup once and all your apn details are saved to your SD card.

After flashing any new rom, just re-download apn backup & restore from market and select restore. No need to manually enter them again.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Bonta768:
That app will save all APNs you have on your phone. Does it let you set which APN you want active? Does it at least save and restore which APN you already have active?

The market has "APN Manager" which, in my 2 minutes of looking at it, seems nicer and can do all those things.

That website which you can check your APN settings against is http://ausdroid.net/apns/
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Rupert_Murdoch:
I take it that the only extra thing required to flash bootloaders is to select the "Phone Bootloader Update" tickbox in ODIN? I can't see a separate bootloader file in the GB ROM download, so I am assuming you don't have to select a bootloader file when you select the Phone, PDA and CSC files...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] electrotune1200:
No, No need to check bootloader update.

Just download JVK with the bootloader.

Just add the PDA,Phone, and CSC as normal.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Rupert_Murdoch:

And if for some reason I want to go back to JPY for example after installing JVK, I could just flash I9000XXJPY_XSA using PDA option in ODIN and that's it? Will it downgrade the bootloaders or leave the new ones? I understand it is cool to run froyo/eclair on the new bootloader anyway.

Hope you gys don't mind me asking here, but since we're talking about it....

Update to jvk and installed supercurio's hack kernel. I downloaded superuser from market then Ti backup but it's failing to get root access. It asks me to verify that my rom is rooted and includes busybox.

I've checked and busybox is on my sd card. Can't as such tell if it's rooted, but I can enter cmw via 3 button combo. Do I need to do something there first.

As a test, I tried cf's kernel and it was fine. Went back to sc's and again no root access.

Just wondering if anyone has any ideas?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rlorange:
Yeah super curious kernel doesn't actually root the phone so....

Flash this kernel, it will only root the phone not try to load android. Let it crash after you boot. Battery pull may be required at this point.

Now flash curious hack back and you should have root :)

Fugitive root kernel :

Edit: sorry you already tried this root kernel method.

Ok its mounting issues. You can use root explorer to set / root directory up re. Now leave root explorer open and install busybox installer from the market. Install busybox while root explorer is mounting / dir rw

For some reason my mounting settings dont stick either.

hey i upgraded to 2.3.3 last nite and wondering how to install this gingerbread keyboard and how u got the tw launcher. tw launcher is the gingerbread launcher rite?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] :
STxza - just downloaded it from the market. Was a dodgy version but anything is an improvement over that stock samsung keyboard.. can't stand it. This is where darky's ROM and that will be beneficial in the coming weeks, when they integrate stock GB keyboard and the stock gingerbread 3D launcher etc.

Rupert - it won't downgrade the bootloaders, but this isn't a problem because as you said, the new bootloaders are compatible with Froyo/eclair :-)

John - modding the framework-res file, look at the stock 2.3.3 JVK thread, the first page has the instructions. Pretty much, flash JVK. Install the CF-ROOT. Then boot into CWM, connect with adb (adb shell), type rootsh to request root, then run the commands to copy the original framework-res file, then the commands to replace it. PM me if you're having problems getting it working off the instructions in that forum and want a more detailed rundown :-)

Hi everyone,

I've got an Australian SGS running 2.2, and before getting it repaired, it was sooooo.... slow. Still testing it to see if it's any faster. Does anyone know when or if the stock android 2.2.1 update is coming soon? Apparently it fixes the lag issue with 2.2. It's out in so many other countries, I can't help but be a little frustrated at Samsung.

And my parents are paying for the contract (:D), but they won't let me root it, which is fair enough.

Can't believe I haven't noticed this thread until now!

Just a quick (and somewhat shameless plug) post about MIUI! I'm sure some of you have seen the MIUI thread in the SGS Development section, it is a great ROM, with a slick UI, nice features and is Based on 2.3.3! For those that have noticed this, but were not sure on if it will work with an australian SGS, I can tell you that it works great with my SGS on Optus.

Haven't had any SMS/Data/Phone toruble, just follow the instructions in the thread (i'll give the link below) and have a go at it, you will NOT be dissapointed!

One thing to keep in mind however, is that it does have bugs (largest bugs for me personally are the camera - it's a bit choppy and that it can't record 720p video at the moment.

So if your interested in trying it out, go here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=992251 and get started!

It has been working alright few days ago after I upgraded to 2.3.3.

Anyone experiencing similar issue ?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Bonta768:
Well technically you are not allowed to root it, but that means you could still install a custom kernel that does not automatically apply root.

If you do install a kernel, which will solve many but not all lag type issues, you could install the stock kernel back again later.

I suggest hardcore's speedmod kernel installed via Odin. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=822756

Goto the Recovery menu and be careful about what options you select. Go into speedmod tweaks and select the first 2 or 3 options. Then back out of the menus and reboot your phone. Very minimal changes there but you should notice a decent improvement.

Try leaving the market app running for a while, and let it update itself. If that fails, find a more up to date "Vending.apk" on these forums somewhere. After installing it, the market should be able to auto update when necessary.

ok this is a hardware related question (I think). I own many pairs of headphones and many have remote/controls on them (Klipsch S4i inparticular). The problem is when playing music (or any sound I guess) through the headphones they are of extremely low quality and only come out of one ear. When I press and hold the play/pause button on the remote the sound is like it should be; of good quality and both ears..however this is inconvenient having to hold the pause button when wanting to listen to music. I know this is a problem with all SGS' and have researched the problem but have failed to come across a solution. I was wondering if any of you guys have any suggestions? (I don't care if the mic doesn't work, as long as the headphones produce the sound they should, an adapter or something?).

Yep, that dreaded market problem again. This happens about every month or two and it's a pain in the ass. I had this happen 5 times (including today).

It happens when Google is bringing out an update for the market and mostly (not always) affects those with corrupted imei.

It is not necessarily rom related and the best thing to do is wait for it to fix itself. Can take a day or more however.

The first time it happened to me I tried everything (flashed more times than I could count) but nothing worked. Then, all of a sudden it fixed itself.
