I believe it's something to do with the way samsungs plugs work. I connect mine to my amp at work to listen to podcasts and only get sound out of one speaker. I've heard that nokia headsets work well with the samsungs, and that if you want some mike functionality then there's a Nokia adapter which you plug into your galaxy, and then plug your normal earphones into it. The adapter has the mic built into it. Been meaning to buy one for ages now.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] beaver2233:
alright thanks heaps ill try have a look at the Nokia adapter then...I bought a belkin adapter (with remote built-in as well but that did nothing). Do you know if its a specific Nokia adapter or....?

only thing i can manage to find is http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Headphone-Ca...AU_MobilePhoneAccessories&hash=item3eff5643ef ...not with mic though ? :/

Since when do kids do what their parents say. Root that phone!

You can get 2.2.1 another way (i haven't needed to do this so can't help) by tricking Kies into thinking you are in a country where 2.2.1 is available like Sweden for example. Search for the Kies region hack.

How did you go with CSC selection?

Also - As far as other Android developer's 2.3.3 ROMs are concerned - they appear to have the stuff I want already built in ie. CRT lockscreen and such. Anyone reckon they're worth a go or just go for the stock and mod the framework.res file yourself?

Advice for Australia

Hi Guys,

Hope somone can give me some advice. I recently upgraded my wife's Optus phone to 2.2.1 as the lag on 2.2 was driving her nuts.

I used odin and flashed:

I9000ZSJPJ|2.2.1|2011 March|Download Link1 or Link2

from:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=846913

Since upgrading, the lag has all but disapeared, but she has had issues both making and recieving calls. Sometimes she can't make a call. Sometimes no one can call her. Sometimes the other side can't hear her for about 10 seconds.

Kies tells me the following info: PDA:JPJ / PHONE:JPG / CSC:JPG (XSA)

What do you guys recommend for Optus in Australia? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I used JS5 and now JVK on Optus and both performed normally, not sure why yours would go funky.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Bonta768:
The modem JPG is what I use for Optus, and its fine.

Go into "Settings/Wireless & networks/Mobile networks" and:-

- manually set "Network operator" to Optus, so it wont go anywhere else, and

- manually check "Access Point Names" to only have the two from Optus listed http://ausdroid.net/apns/

Then retest.

Return to Stock 2.2 ROM - Optus Warranty.

Hi guys,

I've got an I9000 which I bought from Optus back in August last year that I want to return under warranty as the WiFi range has dropped substantially in the past few days (plus other issues such as GPS still not working, laggy performance with stock ROM).

How would I go about returning the phone back to stock Optus 2.2 ROM?

I'm currently running Darky's 9.5 with included Dark Core Kernel that was flashed as .zip files via CWM.

Also, has anyone returned their phone back to Optus for repair? If so, how long did it take?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Ging.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] thisisludachris:
good to see an aussie section here, thanks.

I just received the i9000T from Telstra and been reading quite a bit from this forum and googling as such. So far i have root the phone, got titanium backup installed and done a backup, rom manager installed. Although I download the stock rom from whirlpool (thread 1541361), I also wanted to take a back up of the rom on my galaxy.

so i select "backup current rom" and it boots into recovery mode. Am i supposed to see nandroid or some option to backup here? all i see is

reboot system now

apply sdcard:update.zip

wipe data/factory reset

wipe cache partition

not sure what to do from here...

i'm using rom manager 3.0.0.7 and cwm 2.5.1.2

OK, coming from a HTC Desire HD on Vodafail, due to some serious issues I am now moving to Virgin and getting the SGS :)

I have done all the goodies to the HTC, ran 3 different roms to see what I liked, did my own framework with the UOT and generally got to know how to do what pretty well, inc adb and the likes, def not noob :cool:

So... all change on the SGS for how to do things :() I like a challenge.

? what difference do these references make XFJS2 XWJS3, is it country related?

I will probably go for the darky rom first off and see how that goes.

I am reading as much as I can here in the SGS section and hope that the Aussie post will be free of the tards posting in the DHD sections.

Sorry to go off topic, but it looks like the nexus s is coming to australia via vodafail... I mean vodafone.

Any thoughts?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] silashack:
For me, I wouldn't entertain vodafail until they get the 3G network issues sorted, shame they push adverts and stores and fail to say the issues they have, the service is poor and the support is even worse, IMHO you end up hating the device when it is nothing to do with it, it is the carrier.

Look to get it on a n other carrier would be my suggestion.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] icejagans:
Agreed. How about their latest ads where they are sponsoring 5 people up to 60k to work for a charity of their choice. Wouldn't it be wiser if they just donated the while lot directly to those charities instead. One wonders ...

Anyway 3 isn't much better. I've been offered to move to voda free of charge but don't think I'll take up the offer. I've heard too many horror stories regarding billing issues, data speeds and the infamous "you're free to leave vodafail" and 2 years down the track there are debt collectors at your door claiming you owe a large sum of money.

Funilly enough my cousin has a desire hd on voda and claims good coverage as well as great customer service. Go figure.

I tempted to try and have a day of barely using my phone just to see what battery life I get, but it's so hard to leave it alone!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] redcraze:
If you don't browse on the net much try changing your network settings from auto to gsm only.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] BlackMY01:
First of all its awesome to find an Ausie Galaxy S thread.

I have been spending some time on the Darky's ROM forum and have found some excellent info and advise there. But it's great to have some feed back from people who are using the same hardware on the same networks. Especialy in regards to modem choice.

After Rooting and installing some custom roms I am stoked by the performance of my Galaxy S. Prior to this I was very disapointed with the lag/slugishness of the phone. The fact that Samsung and the phone carriers have not resolved this issue yet is really quite poor form in my books.

Not everyone is tech savvy enough to Root/Mod their phones. And they really should work better than this out of the box.

Sorry. End rant.... :p

I would like to ask some advise though.

I am getting terrible batter life (well I think it is) 12-13hrs with only moderate use. I have read people reporting up to 72hr battery life! And was wondering what advise you would have to try and improve my own battery life? I'm not expecting 72hrs, but only having to charge my phone once a day would be nice.

Currently running Darky's ROM 9.5, Dark Core 1.2 and the XXJVE modem.

I have read conflicting reports that battery life on Darky's 9.5 is much poorer than on previous releases, ie 9.2 9.3 ect. In light of this, I might look at trying the leaked 2.3.3 Galaxy S ROM or some other leaner/more efficent ROM's that might be sugested.

Many thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] electrotune1200:
Have you tried the stock JVK Gingerbread build?

I have to put my recommendation forward on this build. Battery life has been great for me. I get anywhere from 36 to 72 hours, depending on my useage. The JVK modem that I'm using is doing a great job on the Optus network. You may have to manually edit a few APN settings though, but only takes a minute or so.

Give it a try.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] BlackMY01:

Directions and link are in the first post. Download the rom with the bootloader.

Edit:

Coming from a custon rom, it would probably be wise to use a 512 pit with re-partition. All this is explained in the directions. Factory reset your current rom, then when 2.3.3 is up and running, give it another factory reset. Just to make sure things are clean.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bunnybash:
OK I purchased a Galaxy S from a guy on another forum - the Optus banded one - anyways before he sent it he flashed Darkys Rom on it.

When the phone arrived, it won't recognise any sim card that is placed in it, either Telstra or Amaysim (Optus). When I try to pull up the IMEI number it is just blank - nothing. The phone won't let me access any settings to do with the sim card and thinks that none is in there.

Something tells me that I am going to have to take it to Samsung and pay for them to reflash it or something... currently it's not working. I am located in Perth, cause I didn't buy it off Optus what should I be looking at doing!?

If someone in Perth thinks they can fix it then I would gladly slip them $50 if they were able to reflash or something. I can work on the HTC Desire - it is way easier for me! Can someone please please please help!!!

Thanks!!!

I would flash a stock eclair rom, and hopefully the imei is noticeable. If not, well, it needs to go to the service center. You don't want to send it in with Darky's rom regardless.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] me_ashman:
Hi, if you have 3 button download nothing can happen so don't worry you can go gingerbread.

Read the install instructions(very easy) if going 2.3.3 use odin. Do a factory reset before starting and use pit and repartition. Just make sure you have 100% charge and let it run its course while flashing.ie don't unplug too soon.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] beaver2233:
Yeah that would be fine upgrading to jvk. I think there are two options to backup your current rom, first you could just download it from samfirmware or you could apply a custom kernel such as speedmod and make a nandroid (full backup of the phone). But as me_ashman stated if you have both download mode and recovery mode it is VERY difficult to brick your phone.. :)

hmm ok, how does one go about getting it "fixed"... I know what the IMEI is because it's on the box and behind the battery - but the phone doesn't know what it is... he doesn't have a backup of the IMEI or the /efs partition though, and when he installed Darky's 10 rom he didn't nandroid. (Side note - ALWAYS NANDROID!!!!!) Anyways do I need to take my phone to Samsung or something.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] electrotune1200:
Flash back to a stock eclair build. If you take it into Samsung with Darky's rom on it, they will just hand it right back to you.

The imei might become noticed after a flash to stock. So either way, whether it works or not, you need stock 2.1 DTJG4 on it to return.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sxi200:
Back in the days when I was new to flashing I also corrupted my imei. Been like that since September but not had any problems with the phone. Just a little odd that nothing shows at all for you.

First thing is to flash stock with Odin and check again. If at least it shows as 004999.... or whatever u should be ok after that.

Sending it to Samsung without original invoice and you'll be paying for it out of your pocket and maybe a couple of weeks wait. Unless you go to a Samsung service centre direct.
