My battery is draining like an absolute ***** at the moment. I don't know what's doing it. On doc's JVH with cf and JVK modem. Down to 34% from full in 4hr 10mins, the most usage is by display with 47mins on.

Edit to say sorry, just saw the thread about battery drain on gingerbread!

Check what services and apps are running in the background and uninstall some.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] goughymachine:
Problem is I don't know what half the apps and services do, and if I remove something I want. Most of them are pretty low %, but some like google services have been pretty high. At the moment it's been on battery (from full) for 3.5 hours. Display 30% at 8mins; Cell standby 23% at 3h 35min; Android System at 10% (with a tonne of apps, but cpu usage 43s, cpu foreground 32s, stay awake 3m 20s); Phone idle 10% at 3h27m; Wifi 8% at 55m38s (have it set to not while screen off); Android OS 7% at 1m20s; then google services, sns account, sns and some others all 2% and under.

I really don't know what I need turned on and off etc. Bit past my understanding. Flashing phones I can do, I can follow directions. But understanding what things are doing, and what I need enabled for the phone to do what I want is another thing altogether.... I ain't that bright ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Bonta768:
Your %s seem ok. Maybe the battery stats are actually at fault. Boot to recovery and zero battery stats - then watch it for the next two days.

Oh and get an update.zip with JVO modem.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] goughymachine:
Been having fun today! Two different kitchen roms failed to flash, one with cf and one with voodoo. Then tried to odin back to a stock froyo to try cm7 out and every time I tried to flash it failed md5 test. So now tried stock jvh again and that worked and flashed voodoo and alls back. Maybe it's time for me to stop flashing and playing with this phone and use it as, say, a phone!! :)

Telstra Sim in Galaxy s

I'm having problems with my Galaxy s. Purchased on Vodafone and unlocked. now using telstra sim.

Problem is when receiving MMS the pictures received are very poor quality. even if i save them to the phone they are still poor quality.

If i insert a Optus or Voda Sim card the pictures received are fine.

However if i put the Telstra Sim in my iphone the pictures received are very poor quality.

So it seems the problem is not the phone or sim themselves but when the 2 are used together.

All the received pictures are also very small and usually only 49kb when using the telstra sim.

Any one had this issue or have any ideas??

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 General] BlackMY01:
Many thanks!

What modems are people finding to be the best in Australia? Preferably for optus in Victoria.

I am currently on JVE but am think of switching, I have heard that in general ZSJPG seems to be good but I do not know is this also applies to us here..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Bonta768:
Try JVO......

Im currently using telstras official release DVJP9

any newer/better ones that will default to 850?

I've upgrades to XWJSD today. I put the XXJVE modem and speedmod kernel. No lagfix applied. Added a circle battery mod & appwidgetpicker and the rest is stock except for Go Launcher EX.

It flys!! But then again most times you install a rom it flies. But it seems amazing! :)

Ive just come across a strange bug in contacts that was never there until today.

I entered a new contact and saved to sim ...then pressed back button and noticed that I had a program showing in active applications ...so I opened it and noticed the contacts program in there .... so closed it and went back to main screen and all the icons (but not drawer icons) vanished for about a second.

ok ...no problem I thought.... so I went back to contacts and checked My number had been saved ....all good it was there.

then when I pressed back again it reappeared in active applications....

Now every time I use contacts it appears in there and I have to close it again ...never did this before.

Ive tried force closing and everything but it keeps doing it.

anyone had the same problem and found a cure ?

Im using a cooked 2.2.1 rom from the rom kitchen and its been fine up until today

*EDIT*

Found the problem .... apparently there is a bug in the latest task manager from samsung apps - for some reason it keeps showing contacts as an active application even when you have exited out....just uninstalled the update and it stopped showing contacts as still running.

Hi all

I am having a wierd problem,i cant get any modem but TLJL3 to work on 850 telstra...its driving me crazy now...

The last 2 weeks i have been trying roms..and experimenting with modems and battery usage...i have tried darky,juwes,cm7,miui,criskelo,goatrip,simplyhoney and now i am on GingerReal....In that time i have experimented with modems JVE,JPY,JVK and JVO,and found JVO probably the best...

the whole time they all worked with telstra....Untill about the time i changed back from CM7 and MIUI...since then i am having problems with going on 850,,,,even when i change the APN manually and settings using *#2263#,it defaults to 1800 or 2100 with 3telstra...

each rom change i start with a fresh JVB or JVH base via odin,even tried JVO..

cheers mark

sorry about the novel...lol

edit...ok.finally worked it out

It should be able to update without any problems...but who knows when the 'official' update will be released in Australia...that's why majority use Odin ;)

1. Does anyone have a copy of the original telstra rom so that i can revert back if needed. I cannot seem to find any on the net. there is a link in the whirlpool forums, but it is dead.

2. I am going to use JS8 rom, but wanted to know which modem will work with nextg, i have heard that JL2 works.

thanks in advance

It varies depending on your location and is different for everyone, try jpg or jvo(not sure if that's in the kitchen tho)

Just wondered if anybody can help or guide me in the right direction , I flashed my wifes SGS with 2.3.3

PDA JVH

PHONE JVO

CSC JV3

The issue im having is that she gets lousy signal whilst in the house (no bars) when she goes out side she gets 2 bars we live in Albion Park Rail NSW.

Shes on the Virgin Network.

I have the Samsung Galxy Tab with a Telstra sim and i get full bars .

Whats the best modem for for the SGS ? and is there a way back to 2.2 if i wanted to go that way ?

Any help would be muchly appreciated.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] beaver2233:
Try the many different modems available and you should notice a difference, its different for everyone so try em until you find one your satisfied with...there is no need to go back to 2.2 if the only problem is the reception, as that is due to the modem; but it is possible through odin, yes
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sovi3tss:
Where can i find a link to compatible Aussie modems?.

Many thanks

Also would i have to flah the rom again or can i flash just the modem (sounds like a stupid question im sorry)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] beaver2233:
All modems are compatible with everything (assuming you don't need an 850 band or whatever). The modem itself can be flashed by itself. Just one question for you, are you using stock, or a custom rom, and if so do you have custom CWM/recovery ? (such as speedmod kernel etc?)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sovi3tss:
I have a stock rom no CWM/Recovery , however i have both 3BR and dowload .
[Galaxy S I9000 General] beaver2233:
Hmm I know it's possible to flash modems through Odin but I'm not sure where to find the appropriate modems which are flashable via Odin..you can always download the whole stock rom from samfirmware if your unable to find odin packages...one sec I'll find out for you ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] beaver2233:
Ok go here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=876391

Now, note that it states, cwm, don't worry. Choose your modem of your choice (for starters I would recommend ZSJPG).

Now once downloaded, unzip the package and find the file named modem.bin. Extract it somewhere on your computer (desktop probably easiest).

Now open up Odin, place the modem file in Phone. Make sure everything else is Default, with repartition UNTiCKED. Put phone in to download mode, connect to pc and press start, shouldn't take Long at all :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Trinnity66:
I live in Albion Park and flashed JVO with XSA csc (Australian modem). I notice that you are on Telstra and will need this modem to get the 850mhz band 3g.

If you already have odin and the jvo files, I can email you the CSC as it is only a little over 1.5mb.

Cheers,

Michael.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] beaver2233:
Might want to re-read what he wrote...he is on telstra on his tab, he's talking about his wife's phone which is on virgin... Also the CSC has little to do with reception/signal
[Galaxy S I9000 General] JarradDD:
Although in general flashing a different csc wont effect reception some do. Some csc's contain additional code that tailors reception and gps to the carrier/region. Although i have never noticed it to impact on reception much, i have noticed that having the wrong csc can mean GPS is complete rubbish. For example i flashed a rom with XEU and the GPS didnt work at all, i just flahed OPS CSC back over it and GPS was back to normal again.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Trinnity66:
True, however the XSA CSC has Telstra, Virgin, Optus, and Vodafone pre-configured for Australia.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] JarradDD:
True, so back to sovi3tss , at the moment he has CSC JV3, this may have something to do with the poor reception. I would suggest that as well as trying different modems also flash XSA, which as you just stated, has all the carriers pre-configered.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sovi3tss:
Thanks everyone for the recommendations so where can I get this xsa from and again is it as simple as during up odin and just flashing ,i take it the csc is totally different to the modem. Out am I on the wrong track.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] JarradDD:
Yes its as simple as flashing with odin again. Just put it in the csc section where as the modem goes in the phone section. No repartition.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sovi3tss:
Pm sent thanks , if i open a tar which of the following is a csc Cache.rfs, Factoryfs.rfs , Param.ifs or zimage

I know the tar is a one stop flash file for odin but if i was after just the xsa csc which is it lol Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 General] JarradDD:
CSC is contained in cache.rfs. You'll need more than just the csc file i think, also need cscversion.txt sw_Configeration.xml and cscfiles.txt. However ive never tried just pushing in those files so i dont know if it would work, it seems to easy if it does. In fact im pretty sure it wont. You'd need an emulator or iso disk or something. Beyond my knowledge level
[Galaxy S I9000 General] maark11:
have you tried any other modems?..i think virgin is on 900 and most modems will do that...try JVE or JVK...just flash via CWM

small world mate..i am from shellharbour...

mark
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sovi3tss:
Strange ... but true ha ... Thanks mark for your recomandations i ended up just flashing the JVK , and i have come to the conclusion that perhaps having a silver lining inside my roof (something to do with keeping the heat in ) and the fact that perhaps on my street the Optus tower maybe somedistance away that the signal is crap.

I tried the handset in Oak flats and in Kiama and i get full bars but in my house i get crap. The fact that my SGT on the Telstra network gets full bars in the house must mean that there must be a Tower closer than the optus one (shrug i dont know).

anyway thanks guys
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MrIwik:
Grab Perka's File Stash from the market and you can download modems directly to your phone that can be flashed through recovery, try afew until you find one you like.

Quick and easy, even flashing only takes afew seconds. I'm just trying out JVO modem now, so far it seems much better than JVE..

does anyone know what the best csc and modem for australia on rom kitchen
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MrIwik:
I would assume XSA or OPS would be the best CSC for Australia.

For modem just pick any like JPG, JPE or JL2, it doesn't really matter because chances are you are going to have to try a few until you find one you are happy with (user experience varies).

I recommend getting perkas file stash from the market as you can download them straight to your phone and flash through recovery. It also has modems that aren't in the kitchen (like JVH/JVO) and unlike CSC you don't need to wipe when flashing modem so there is no need to stress if the one you choose doesn't work too well.

Let us know what you choose and how it goes.

hi guys i want to get a few questions answered i want to flash my phone from 2.2 DTJP5 to a european firmware like PDA XWJVB,CSC XEE-JV3,Phone XXJVK with 512 pit file.. PDA file has a sbl file behind does that mean its the bootloader file and will this setup work....i am using odin V1.82 to flash....

Thanks in advance for any help.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] JarradDD:
Yes that is fine, might i suggest getting a newer PDA though, JVH is the most up to date. No point flashing older stuff. However if you want to stick with jvb yes sbl is your secondary bootloader, and if this is your first time flashing to gingerbread you'll need it. But yes that set up is fine.

hi there wondering if anyone can answer my question?

I have had my phone for less then a week, i have updated the firmware to 2.3.3 baseband version is i9000xxjvo and the kernel version is 2.6.35.7-i9000xwjvh-cl184813 root@dell101#2 and the build number is gingerbread.xxjvo after doing this my phone loads but then asks me to put in my sim pin, i enter my pin number that came with my sim and it does not acknowledge this i have also tried the puk number but this doesnt work also. I am now on my last attempt. What i want to know is why has this happened? the advice i have been given is to unlock my phone from the telstra network, hopefully this will solve my problem.

Can anyone answer why this happened, how i avoid it in the future and is unlocking the phone going to solve my problem?

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] theltusexige:
have you tried installing another rom, maybe a 2.2.1 rom from romkitchen, turning off the pin code, then reflashing the 2.3.3 rom. i did it before i flashed it and have had no probs
[Galaxy S I9000 General] JarradDD:
There usually isnt a problem flashing over a sim locked phone but every now and again it can apparently cause troubles. Use *#7465625# is the dial pad to check whether the phone is locked. For you situation try flashing another firmware or back to your original one. Then before flashing again get rid of your sim lock. This isn't an easy task in itself, theres a thread floating around on how to do it. I used the app myself, but its been known to cause some efs problems but it does a back up so you should be okay. Just go into the market and look up galaxy unlock. it has a little unlocked padlock as the symbol.

Try to remember the one you had set. FYI, you don't have to worry about the 3time limit. You can try unlimitedly. Got a problem then turn it off and on.

I have not picked up the phone yet but I am sure there is nothing I can do with them. I never dropped the phone in water or anything but at the same time I don't really make sure it never get close (Like I would job with it outside in an armband).

Anyway, all this to ask where can I find a Brisbane phone repair. I live in North Lakes and work in Inala so any suburb near those 2 would be perfect. I found a few in google maps but they are not in my path.
