Well I'm pretty convinced its that, cuz the same thing happens to me, it freezes and sometimes restarts randomly, cause I guess its running in the background.if you're using latitude then it most definitely is running in the background. And I do not think its a phone problem coz this is my 2nd phone and even my previous one used to do the same thing! Though its much less frequent on the new one...

This bug is not widely documented online but I read about it on the google maps page in the android market.

try uninstalling the update and see if it still restarts...

Regarding your battery issue I feel something is not letting your phone sleep properly as I get really good life on mine, I get a day easily with 30% still remaining even after a good amount of usage at times... You should easily get 18-20 hours...

Try *#*#4636#*#* and under battery history check what keeping your phone awake.

Usually for me it was the official facebook app, so now I don't even install it anymore. (it sucks anyways)

@zubin

Your posts are interesting.

Yes, SGSL is very capable on hardware front but lacks on software part as it's with most of Samsung high-end devices. Audio hardware is powerful but drivers are crappy. Same with Videos. XXKB3 has certainly improved the sound. Bass is deeper. Try it.

@tarun

XXKB3 should solve most of your problems. Indian firmwares are generally crap. Probably we don't pay for the phones.

I am testing a new idea for flashing my ROM. Stay tuned !

@Rex and Zubin

Is it necessary to apply Lagfix??

And Rex,Cant we change the drivers and make it a better device????
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] tanu_invincible:
Guys,We really need a seperate forum..why are this XDA guys not creating a new forum..even the less powerfull devices have one..!! :|

And What about GINGERBREAD for our phone...Galaxy Ace has announced but why our device is lagging behind..It certainly is more powerfull than the Ace..!!!

Bro google maps are updated to 5.4.0....I'm updating the maps now...Lets see now whether the shutdowns go or not..!!

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rex4u:
@tanu

Lag fix is not required on our devices.

Compiling/writing new drivers is not an easy task. It takes good efforts.

Asking for crack can get you banned here.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] tanu_invincible:
Bdw Rex.when do we expect your ROm to.release...cant wait.actually...before that do i need to.update to xxkb3????
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ybyb:
Rex's rom is based on xxkb3 itself
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] mzone1510:
Alright, cool man just saw it now, I'll do the same thing and re-enable latitude... Lets see if this solves the problem once and for all!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] tanu_invincible:
Yest I updated to 5.4 and it didnt give any shutdown..but Bro just at night I flashed xxkb3 firmware..so maps in that firmware are 4.5.0..im not updating maps as of now..you updated???
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] mzone1510:
Well version 4.5.0 is quite an old version, it does not have vector maps etc, but I would suggest that since you haven't updated it yet to see if you are having problems with this version. Just keep it this way for a couple days and see if the problem disappears, if yes then we know what the problem was all along!

I'll let you know how 5.4.0 is doing for me...

but one question, you say you get frequent reboots? In my case I didn't get reboots on the new phone (used to on the old one) but I do have the freezing issue, which renders the phone useless at that point.but its much less frequent on the new one (like once in 3 days or so)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sgsI9003:

Guys, all of the sudden from the morning the default music player is not working. It's giving error saying "Not enough memory." Also the widget which shows the running applications at home screen was also disappeared.

Is that a bug? I am unable to use the default music player and RockPlayer and others seems to big for me. So please help me.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sgsI9003:
Try rebooting & see if the music plays or not.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] furious_gamer:

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] tanu_invincible:
Go to task manager n check how much memory is utilisd when you open music player ???

My phone doesn't use to reboot..but it used to automaticly switch off when operating or when kept idle it just used to switch off never restarted.but with this xxkb3 firmware i haventt yet got any shut down..thankfully..do let me know about 5.4.0

Yes, we deserve a separate forum. But i don't know why mods hesitating to create a new section.

Also, yes, we can OC. Wait till someone post related to that.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] tanu_invincible:
Damn still once or twice in a day my cell switxhes off automatically..damn this is frustrating ..:-@ :-/..anyone facing such prob..I'm fed up now
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sgsI9003:
Yes it has happened with 2-3 times now this week cant figure out why is this happening I dont have any other issues with this as such. Yours seem to be just in a day 2-3 times.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] trip007in:
Did you guys try resetting the firmware to factory defaults? I have started using since two days and did not notice any problems yet.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] braveBuddy:
Yup i am but it happens to me in 2-3 days not everyday..............

i think we have some hardware issues here or may be these imperfect build we are getting.......
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sgsI9003:
Its happened with today in 24hrs twice it shutdown, once playing a game it restarted another time it was in pocket & got shutdown.

Some issue is surely there but cant catch a pattern as yet.

I use launcher pro , are others by any chance using the same I heard that launcher pro might be the culprit, i have noticed that for few moments it freezes sometimes.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] mzone1510:
Well this used to happen with my old SL but not the new one. It has happened only once to me in the last 13 days since I have it. I suspected it was Google Maps 5.3.1 doing it, now I've updated to 5.4.0 and haven't encountered it yet... (Touchwood :D)

Earlier phone used to freeze/reboot randomly, similar to what you guys are experiencing frequently. But this one seems more stable...

Old one was from Feb batch, new one is a March batch, what bout you guys?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sgsI9003:
Mine is build on 4th feb 2011

OCLF for GT-I9003

Hi

i have applied OCLF, installed v1+ lagfix.

when i have tried to undo the Lagfix i have received the error

"you don't have a /system/bin/playlogos1"

so i'm not able to undo Lagfix V1+.

i have post this in case there is a resolution better than re flashing the ROM

any idea??:confused:
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sgsI9003:
I don't remember exactly but I guess its hidden somewhere either in settings or may be I had downloaded some app from the market which showed me these hidden details.

If I remember I will let you know. :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] mzone1510:
Well my 'Gorilla Glass' seems to have gotten a small dot scratch... Hmmm and I thought it was impervious to scratches... Nothing very noticeable though only if the screen is all white then you can see slight color distortion at that point, like a pixel or two...

Thought gorilla glass would keep screen protectors away from me (I absolutely HATE using them!) I Love the way my finger slides over its naked body!:cool:

Hi all, actually i wanted to know which 3g plan are you guys using? i'm on vodafone! Would like to know if there are any good plans provided?

R Thanks!!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sgsI9003:
Most operators now have 3g plans in Delhi check their website for plans, I am using 2gb gprs plan from vodafone & have reliance 3g data plan too.

Tested vodafone 3g too but their coverage is not good as reliance when I go roaming. Vodafone offers 3g test plan for Rs 100/- you can try.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] trip007in:
Am using airtel in bangalore. Quite satisfied with the plan. Am spending 66 rs for 2gb plan.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] trip007in:
@sgs. Did you remove lagfix. That could be culprit for instability and reboots. I have not notices revoir problems with kb3 and launcher pro plus.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sgsI9003:
No I have not removed the lagfix.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] mzone1510:
Well my phone switched off today morning also, damn thing was off in the morning and my alarm didn't even go off! This happened to me 4 days back and I remember the last time it happened,i had an up time of approximately 4 days, lets see if this happens again after 4 days...

One thing I noticed was the phone was not really off as such, yes the display was off and it was not responding and acting like it was off but when I press the power button to restart it it doesn't come back on, holding the power button down causing a reset does the trick, so I have a feeling the phone is not shutting off but rather its freezing or something... What bout you guys?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] trip007in:
Its called SOD screen of death. Most probably I feel its bcoz of lag fix. How about you? You have lag fix applied?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] mzone1510:
Well I'm running bone stock right now,i have only rooted the phone using superoneclick...
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sgsI9003:
If that is the case then surely its fw related issue which only samsung can provide update.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] mzone1510:
I know its a silly question but could rooting have anything to do with it?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] kkrraazzyy:
Nope rooting only gives the superuser permissions it has nothing to do with it and today I have also faced this problem twice and It is the f.w. issue its niether a hardware problem nor the problem with rooting
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] trip007in:
I have not faced this issue yet. Lets see if its the fw issue. Then the first SOD must be on the way.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] tanu_invincible:
It must be the firmware issue ..i havent rooted my device..but in the last 3 days..phone didn't switch off thankfuly ..
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] tanu_invincible:
By the way guys. Latest.HD games run smoothly on our phone..cheers...now I'm downloading asphalt 6 hd..
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] tanu_invincible:
Our phone is not completely lagfree..sometimes the menu lags..and also while scrolling in music player and contacts..occasional freezing..
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] trip007in:
None of the stock roms are free of issues bro, I felt our rom is one of the good roms, I never had any issue. No lags and I mean it. May be it depends on the person and the perception and the content you want to run on it.

Still having a problem with random restarts and SOD's... The phone just does not give me more than 4 days uptime, it restarts or freezes when the uptime is in the region of 55-60 hrs... Temporary solution to this is to reboot every day or two.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sgsI9003:
You can have apps from the market which gives soft reboot, some have timer too inbuilt so at set time it will reboot on its own saving you from hardware reboot.

Try rebooter from the market, u will have to reboot manually.

What I feel you have some misbehaving app which is consuming the ram & thus creating this problem.

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] mzone1510:
Hey guys I have a question, I clicked some pics outdoors yesterday, and when I checked the geo tagged information it was totally off by quite some distance,i guess it was using wireless networks for location but I guess I had satellite gps turned on, though I'm not very sure...

So can anyone tell me if satellite gps is on then will it use that for geotagging instead of wireless networks? Assuming I get a fix that is... There seems too be no option within the camera app itself...
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sgsI9003:
How much distance?

It will depend on what accuracy in meters have you locked on to gps, if you lock on with 50mt your images will be off the mark upto 50mt. I get constant 5mt accuracy & my geotag photos have that 5mt accuracy too.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] mzone1510:
It was off by like 500 -800m! So I'm pretty sure that it was using wireless networks, anyways all I wanted to know was if wireless networks is turned on along with use gps satellites, then it will use satellites if available... So I guess you answered my question there!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sgsI9003:
Oh! that's way off for any kind of geo tagging of images.

If using gps satellites, don't use wireless network triangulation, gps are suppose to work without any support, i9003 gps has an issue if you read my post mentioned in my signature if will help you to get faster & accurate gps locks, I have tested gps & geo tagging extensively with great accuracy, planning to go on a trip of 1300kms & will be again using it full time.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] mzone1510:
Well I tried it again now with satellite gps enabled and it tagged it around 80 meters off! Funny thing is when I click on show on map, maps shows me at the right location but the tagged image is a bit off... Turning satellite gps off throws me way off the map! Maybe I should let the camera app stay on for longer before clicking so that I can get a better lock, google maps though gets it in seconds with 5m accuracy... Incase you are wondering why I have wireless networks for locations on is because of latitude...
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] mzone1510:
One more question guys, anyone out here using Alarm Clock Plus ? Well I tried it out especially for the shake to snooze function but somehow it wasn't working for me! Even at the most sensitive setting it still did not work for me even with rigorous shaking! Even a phone restart didn't help...

This working for anyone else?

Damn man it so speedy, and u have to hold it to believe how light it is and also how slim it is, I was highly impressed, only thing that I was disappointed about was the screen, It wasn't that great to me at all, in fact I prefer my Super LCD over the Super Amoled Plus, cause of the greenish-bluish tint, I love mine cause Its neutral...

My SGSL is the 4GB version btw.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rex4u:
May be try different region firmware (European or Asian).
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] trip007in:
Root on your phone only help you to access the system partition with write permission. It helps run those applications like titanium backup etc., which requires access to system partition. It has no relationship with the video hardware or software acceleration:p. So rooting does not improve the media playing ability of your phone. You may try applications from market like Rock player or YX player which adds software acceleration and try playing those movies. AFAIK it can play some 720P files with coded medium/ low bitrate, try to keep the 1 hour video file below 1GB and see.

From my personal experience. I could not play 480P avi file with high bitrate. It was laggy:mad:.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] break130:
Thanks for the explanation.. I already have rockplayer and it works but it's slow.. I guess I'll need to convert everything with Kies, with that, it works.. thanks :)
