Well after some busy days where are always leaked a new fw, in the last days that stopped.
It's an indicator that the official rom should be on Kies at any moment ?
What's the leakers oppinion ?
Until now several one appeared, and in my point of view there are a couple questions:
- Radio is still mono
- Lag is terrible! In other part of the forum someone had answered me that Galaxy Tab still continues using RFS filesystem, so i think it will not change
- Battery drain is awesome...last two days battery didn't survive from 8AM to 11PM ... ouch
- TwLauncher in JPK still in sometimes stopps.
When the official froyo? What will change ?
The official release should be really close to JPK, so don't expect miracles

Your battery drain sounds like a nasty program or widget.

People over at the Captivate forums are reporting pretty good GPS reception with the leaked Froyo they got today. Maybe there's something to it after all.

That's what happens all the time - at first everybody are so excited they get a lock in 10-15 seconds, when they start using it they realize it's still a piece of worthless junk - you'll see lots who already realized it in that forum.
I'll bet the GPS just can't be fixed, it's a hardware problem.

Stop complaining about GPS. It is already fix from XWJM7 FW. i am using JM8 and GPS locks good and stable without jumping.
Relax.

Hah if you're gonna buy a phone based on GPS you've already lost the battle. Get a real gps device already! They're dirt cheap and will get much better reception than a cell phone. I don't get people buying a cell phone based on GPS... call quality sure, but GPS?! Hahah stoooopid!

I have been using JPK for days already and the GPS works fine. Only battery drain is a bit high, last night after some quite intensive usage my battery died on me after 5 hours :O. This was with eBuddy, latitude, internet radio for about an half hour and some internet browsing. I don't know if I really asked too much of the battery but I think the Eclair firmwares are indeed better in battery life.

eBuddy is a battery murder! Try Trillian.
If i'm at work

Thanks for the advice, I shall give it a try . I already noticed that eBuddy can indeed be quite a battery eater indeed, but not that bad as last night.
Currently about 90% of the variants have been given an official JM -level release.
This was the goal so far.
Froyos will start popping like mushrooms at rain.

Hi Vibrant owners!
I made a post over in the Captivate forum about how we can configure the GLGPS daemon in our phones (this is used to control the GPS behavior)
Attached are some update.zips with a new glgps daemon pulled from the Nexus S, secgps.conf and a jupiter.xml configuration inside. The GPS chipset is common among all SGS models, so this should work for you. Please try it, feedback is appreciated!
Sweet!
Sent from the helm of the vibrant Galaxy S!
I thought the vibrant does not use the jupiter.xml
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I know at least one model of Vibrant does (Bell), not sure about the others (CDMA does not I believe)
With the vibrant froyo leaks, we now use gpsd and jupiter.xml Samsung decided to make it the same across the board. At least for the i9k, cap and vib. Not sure aboit the epic and fascinate though

i really don't understand these "fix your gps" threads. Hasn't it already been fixed a while back with the newer 2.2 roms? Mine is just fine now.

Wow. Your like saying that people doesn't have to fix their gps if yours has been already fixed.
im saying if you've upgraded to a new rom like most here then it should have been fixed. what kind of fix are you expecting a 100/100 Sat lock the instant you turn on the GPS app?

Yeah it should have been fixed, but to some it isn't. Maybe because of the hardware or other issues.

I'm not expecting that, we all just want it to be usable like having a better accuracy.
sorry it's getting late and my brain is not fully functional ^_^ though it is sorta confusing how the same hardware can produce different results with the newer 2.2 roms.
It's not the same though.
The antenna got revised in October 2010. See the post about the gps fix in the Vibrant general forum.

It seems the newer antenna did fix it - the older design is unreliable so "identical" hardware can have different GPS performance depending on how much the connection has worked loose.

if you compare to HTC model like HD2, you will see that vibrant is very slow altough gps is fixed...I once use htc hd2 with MDJ mod for android GPS is real fast, never more than one minutes from start ( case compared when u totally delete gps data) I don't know how HTC did it...just for your guy to concern
My GPS has never worked and I've tried every ROM and every fix. Sure I can get a lock on 8 of 12 satellites, and I can easily get 10 foot accuracy. As soon as I try to use Navigation, it sucks. It'll jump around by a few feet here and there, and that's enough to totally throw off the navigation. All of a sudden it thinks I'm the wrong street and its telling me to turn around.
im sorry guys, that sucks. mine has been fine for a while now. and i navigate quite a bit as I am new to Cali. Initially it truly pissed me off when I was on 2.1, telling me i'm staying on the highway when i infact took the off ramp etc... lol. I'd get a replacement.
Can anyone ever say the word GPS without sending everyone into a pissing frenzy?
BACK ON TOPIC:
OP which one do you recommend starting out on for us Vibrant owners?
I highly.. very highly recommend Sombionix' Nero 3. I've used a lot of roms and this one is very very fast. And I usually refrain from saying "fast" because most phones are initially fast when new roms are installed but this one definitely deserves it even after massive app installs and use.
I tryed out the google version and it killed my GPS it sees 12 birds but won't connect to any.
Which do I install? I have a Tmobile Vibrant. You have 3 files listed. Thanks.
Hello!
I'm gonna buy a new phone, but idk when. I think I'm gonna buy the LG O2X, though after reading all the problems with it, I'm not sure.
I have heard troubles like:
Shuts down and reboot randomly.
Shows wrong battery percent left.
WiFi stops to work when you turn it on after sleep.
I also heard about 2 people who had their LG out in the sun, when it was like 20-25 degrees and it started to reboot every 2 minute.
If the phone didn't have all these problems, I would definitely get it. But that's apparently not the case.
Damn, this is driving me crazy, I can't decide whether I should get it or not. Please help me.
All the things you've listed are software, the first CM7 nightly is currently building. That said I've not had mine's been mostly fine. No wifi issues, only had odd battery behavior when trying new kernels. Have had a couple of overnight reboots, but not for about 5 days.

I know that the problems I listed is problems with the SW, and can be solved. But the problem about their phone did reboots every 2 minute when they had it outside in the sun. Is the problem I most worry about, since it doesn't sounds like problems with the SW.
I'm not gonna change ROM or something. Since I don't wanna loose my warranty.
And LG doesn't seems to solve problems that quickly, correct me if I'm wrong.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=997705, I read a few pages there, so many seems to have trouble with it. So I really don't know what I should do.
Every 2 minutes? Weird lol. My o2x was right next to me while I was lying in the sun all the time during the easter holidays. No such probs here, actually none of the probs you mentioned. If you get one with constant freezing you can always get an exchange, you know

Sounds like your friends' phones could have errant processes running in the background and the extra heat from the sun could have pushed the phones into instability.
Ask them to install "Watchdog Task Manager Lite" to monitor the processes running on their phones. If they can track down which app processes are the culprits, they should try to delete or modify the app settings to quieten down their errant behaviours. This should help with the "every 2 mins in sun reboot" issue.

I read about this problem in a forum. But thanks for the "Watchdog Task Manager Lite" tip, I guess it could be handy when I get a android phone. If it will be LG O2X, we'll see.
If you are a non-hacker type person, and just want to use the phone straight out of the box, it might be prudent to avoid most, if not all, of the dual-core phones for now. I think the designers and programmers are still trying to iron out the kinks with the new dual-core phones. IMHO, a fast single-core Android phone might probably be a more fuss-free phone straight out of the box than dual-cores currently.

Well, I don't change phone that often, so I wanna have future proof phone that isn't too expensive. And I believe this is that phone.
I'm pretty sure I can root it and change rom. But... I'm too afraid I might mess it up.
In forums like these you will mostly read about the issues that some are having, because people tend to seek out these forums when they disover isues - the wast majority may not have any issues and dont post in forums like these. So regardless of which device you get, you will allways find alot of forum posts dealing with whatever bugs some users are facing. The number of issues and error posts for the LG isnt really that big, nothing out of the ordinary, and nothing you wont see just as many or more for ANY other device out there - single core or dual core.
Basically dont get scared off by these but only use it as a guide to perhaps seek for specific bugs which you would not be able to live with untill they get fixed by the manufacturer.
I have 2 LG optimus - one for myself and one for my teenager son
Both bought on the same day 6 weeks ago.
Mine has run completely stable and "errorfree" since day one - not a single random shutdown or lockup bsod - no issues with wifi, 3g or anything - has worked with every single app I tried, no batterydrain (easily get 2 days worth) etc. etc.
They are running completely stock with the only change being a different laucher (GO launcher) to solve the micro stutter in swyping between homescreens which the standard LG launcher has (just a very minor software issue).
The only issues I have left are 2 known issues - which for certain will be solved by some new LG update. One is the lag that happens while installing a new app from market - the other is the memory management which isnt completely optimised causing free memory to sometimes run a litle lower than wanted.
If you arent unlucky and get hit by the random shutdowns and bsod that some users are facing - then you do get a very nice future proof phone that isnt too expensive, and does most things pretty good allready - and will only get better as updates arrives
Imho, rooting and new roms arent really needed, allthough a nice possibility for those that like to tinker and tuning their devices as much as possible - but even without doing so, you will get a nice phone.
I'm planning to get one too so I just started to visit O2X threads. Currently on Motorola Milestone, but I'm sick of it's low RAM. Every new game is force closing. I'll wait for it to get cheaper in my country .

You're probably right. I've read alot of threads. It's so weird, some have many problems with the phone and some have not. I really don't wanna have problems with reboots and wifi.
I'm still not sure if I should get it or not. I don't really see any other future proof alternatives in the same price range. The SGS2 is too expensive.
This is definitely not easy, maybe I should wait and see if they fix all problems. But IDK which phone I should get instead.

I've seen some reviews of SGS2 and it seems laggier than O2X. First I noticed that in Shrek Kart video (I've seen SGS2, than compared to O2X), after that it seemed that SGS2's launcher is laggy too -.-' ... maybe I just watched fake/bad reviews ^^.
Well i had phone for around 2 weeks and have not had any of the reboot issues as for batt draining if u ture of back ground data then this reduces it massivly, the handset is on of the best around. As for LG not doing update to solve problems i think that is unfair they do seem to be listerning with in a few days of me gettting hand set went from 10b to 10d. So i would say that if you want future proof device then this is the one and if you want game then its a no brainer

Alright. I think I'll get the O2X then. Though, I'm not gonna get it before they fixed these problems.
I read in a review that the OS takes about 300 mb ram.

So I have about 200 mb free for my apps. That doesn't sound much, but maybe it's enough? Well, this is going to be my first smartphone, so I don't really know how much RAM app takes.

don´t worry about that this phone has more you need..
Hi,
I'm seriously considering going out and buying this phone but I'm really not sure after seeing all the threads with people saying that they go back to their phone and it's switched off and requires a battery pull.
This seems to be a fairly serious problem but I was just wondering if it is happening to everyone who owns the O2x?
Please let me know if you are unaffected by the problem!

It really is a great piece of hardware. I'm not that fond of LGs software, but that can be solved with a custom ROM.

So, how do you get on Rusty, you seem like a very experienced XDA member.. how is the O2X treating you?
i am not the best guy to talk to . i just got the phone used yesterday for very cheap. i figured that if i dont like it, i can sell it for the same money or even make a little more and get the SGS2.
but so far. no crashes/reboots.. been more than 24 hours. using custom rom as well.
i got the phone for 300$. the stickers still on it. i figure if i decide to sell it. i wont lose at all..
so far. i am really loving the phone. i love the UI of LG. but its slow. it laggs. i wonder if there is a custom rom with the LG UI but smooth one.
right now i am on modaco. with 3000 quadrant. if i switch to google launcher. phone is smooth. if i switch to LG one, it laggs a little in the home screen. i tried the Tmobile version 2.3 on my optimus. its super smooth. but i cant make phone calls on it lol.
and i had a screen problem with the cayanogen rom. for some reason my screens dims and go bright on its own.
oh yeah. i also have a screen light leak/bleed. but it doesnt bother me much because the only way i can notice it if the room is dark and i have a black wallpaper.
Mine went slow once on stock, once isn't bad though. The froyo Rom does seem rushed in truth, (I have random battery drains from my Dialer which makes no sense) but I'm sure Gingerbread will have everything sorted.

Pretty well to be honest. I use CM7 nighties (I bought the phone specifically because it was going to be supported by them) so I cannot expect a bug free experience at this early stage.
I am enjoying it though, I came from a Nexus One that had bugger all internal storage and a poor digitizer, so proper multi-touch and 1.5GB spare for apps is fantastic.
The IPS screen is great if you can overlook the associated backlight bleed (it's not just the 2X, look at iOS devices as well, same thing), the GPS chip is excellent, I can get locks in place that my N1 couldn't.
The stock ROM is turd, frankly. It's fast, until you install something, then it becomes unusable for a bit until it's finished with the app... quality coding
fine
i have my lg optimus 2x now for over a month, no problems here.
i stil have the stock rom.
first v10a. no problem
later v10b. no problem
I have had 2 O2x now for litle over a month
one of them has had BSOD and restarts randomly - the other had none, atleast for the first month - but these past days this one has now also rebooted a couple of times.
Both are completely stock - not rooted and not using any custom roms.
Only using a different launcher which do help make the BSOD and Reboots less often.

I been over there as well. Most of the problems on the SGS 2 are either software or can be solved with apps. My O2X had so many problems that I could never use the phone and wifi at the same time. Bleeding, constant reboots/freezes crashes even with Custom ROMs. Since Im in afghanistan now I need a phone that will work not just when it feels like it. I will say that when the O2X was working it was a sweet phone. I just dont see the same problems with the SGS2 and Samsung tends to be better in the service side instead of LG leaving us pissing in the wind waiting for a "possible update" that might fix things or not.
guess i´m a lucky guy, too!
i have no crashes/reboots and absolutely NO backlight bleeding
Mine is also working properly.

I'm sorry if this is a noob question, but even the omniscient Google failed to give me a satisfactory answer to my dilemma.
I've waited, prayed and even made some ritual sacrifices to the Gods of the mountains under the sea to make Samsung update the I9000 to Gingerbread. And all that for this one feature: to use integrated SIP calling.
But when I updated to Gingerbread this morning and looked in the "Call Settings" menu, I couldn't find the "Internet Calling" option. With a sinking feeling that the mountain Gods have failed me, I decided to turn to the Tech Wizards of the xda-developers for help.
I saw in a few sites that it is possible to enable the option, but I couldn't understand anything as i'm a total noob in these matters. My phone's details:
Model: Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000.
Firmware version: 2.3.3
Baseband version: I9000DDJV4.
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7-I9000DDJV6-CL198883
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.DDJV6
Please help me out here. I'm desperate to the point of doing something crazy, like getting a Nokia.
Sorry for bumping this up. Somebody please help me out here.

lol That's TOO crazy! Personally, I never used SIP or Internet calls. But if it's that important to you, you can try flashing CM7 on your phone. It has this feature implemented extensively in the settings. Besides, you won't come back from CM7. Everything else is pretty much inferior!
Or find another rom like XWJVH or XWJVO they have all the stuff

Okay, but is CM7 stable? I read that some features are not working properly. Anyway, i'll try it out.
I felt that using inbuilt SIP instead of Skype or Fring would lessen battery usage. I also liked the idea of dialling from the dialler and video calls over IP.

Wont that change the product code? That happened to me when I flashed a froyo leaked ROM. My phone had the product code as "KOR" instead of "INU".
And thanks for your replies, guys. I had almost given up hope.
I looked into CM7 and some of the bugs are a bit scary. Esp, the issue with the phone unable to charge when it is powered off. I routinely run the risk of a fully drained battery, even with daily charging. Besides, the gingerbread update has speeded up the phone considerably. So, I'm quite happy with it, except for the SIP thing. I'll have to consider it more before I make the jump.

That is not a bug, just operating according to CM7 spec. When you plug in the charger, the phone boots up. You can then turn the screen off and go to Airplane mode if you wish it to charge more quickly. No big deal.
As for the rest, there are very few standing issues left with CM7, and those tend to only occur on a case by case basis. However, it is an acquired taste, and rewards people who enjoy tinkering and learning about their phone and Android. Since it is so easy now to install CM7 and then return to Samsung ROMs if you need to, it makes sense to try it out and see how you like it.

I didn't know it boots up completely, even in the case of a low battery. Some person said that as soon as it powers on, it finds out that the battery is low and hence powers off again. It keeps going on through it cycle and hence never powers up.
Still i'll look into it. Thanks.

Nope....untrue. It just boots up. The behavior is similar to the iPhone / iPod touch.

After a 21-hour marathon session of flashing and re-flashing Eclair, Froyo, Gingerbread and CM7 on my phone, I finally managed to get CM7 working. After using it for a couple of days, I haven't found anything useful to justify the effort. Though the fact that devs are going into so much pains to develop this ROM is astounding. So I finally bought ROM Manager premium this morning to support the movement. Also I am planning to stick with CM7 for the predictable future. BTW, your guide for installing CM7 is amazing, rschenck. Thanks a lot.
As for the SIP feature, I tried it and found the results to be under-whelming. Quality is poor and implementation is half baked. I found Skype to be better. Also all my contacts are on Skype and none are using SIP. Finally battery drain was much higher than using Skype. Hence i'm not returning to SIP anytime soon. I feel Skype or Fring is better suited for my purposes.
Thanks for all your help, guys. And also thanks for introducing me to CM7.
