Hi,
do you have same problems as me with Froyo build? I tried JPC, JPH and now JPK and on each one my data connection is really "choppy". I mean when i launch speedtest the speed goes for 2-3 secs to about 3mbit (in some places) and after these few second it just stops until upload test starts. With upload speed test the same situation. On JPH Mobile AP was not working, on JPK it works pretty well. I tried changing bands etc but everything is the same after that. Any ideas?

I want to know the same thing and also, if the official Kies JM1 firmware update is the same with the one from samsung-firm ?
I'm using JM5 now, updated from stock via samsung firmwares and it seems to be a lot faster with the lag fix.
I found JM5 was better - especially for memory leaks. Startup on JM5 i have around 160mb free, but with JH1, only 130mb, and it drops to 99mb pretty quickly even after closing apps with ATK.
Without a lag fix, there was still lag.
The CSC only has 6 localities, 4 of them are chinese, and only UK and USA, where as JM5 has loads more including Australia
I found wifi and 3G/HSDPA stronger on the JM5 radio as well. Had major issues with wifi dropping out similar to JF3 with JH1. GPS was ok, but not on Cell triangulation. JM5 was much more accurate.
I also had issues flashing back to JM5 after flashing JH1. I worked out that if I had partition checked, and included the 512 PIT file, odin just hung. Flashing back to JM5 without these worked fine.
There's certainly nothing new in it, Quadrant scores have been lower than the base JM5 as well (from another thread), so if you're on JM5, just stick with it.
Hope this helps.
My phone is from Singapore. So is there a problem for me to flash jm5 which is an euro version? Thx. Noob here.
JM6 running awesome here! I found it better than JM5.. Haven't used JH1 due to poor reviews..
I flash from jg4 no problem at all, gps is way better in jm5

JH1 only has English UK/US, Korean and 3 chinese locales.
But it is very smooth and bug free. It doesn't contain the default number app when you try to add a default number for multiple contacts (Reason for my choice of JH1 over JM5.)
JH1 contains a native task manager which shows my memory over 175MB ram after a day use, after a reboot or "fast reboot" app another good 20-30MB is freed.
I am using the JM5 modem file though as I find the GPS is stronger and somewhat usable for walks (after changing the gps.conf to use 4 uk pool time servers as I am in London, I find this fix assists the picking up of signals ie more sats, faster locks.) JM5 also picks up the signals stronger and holds on to them for longer.
JM5 PDA was a little jumpy at times for me and the memory showed less.
Both tested after OneClickLagFix. GPS were both tested from the same spot outside my flat window (after giving both modem files a 5 mins warm up time through LbsTestMode Get Position Test.)
Anyone know of a good firmware with better GPS than JM5 (Modem file is XXJM3)?

I am using JH1
I am from Malaysia, currently using I9000ZSJH1 with mimo lag fix quarant 1.4k but phone still lagging, I dont think it's firmware tho mayb it's something wrong with my device or external sd card?
Read some post before that one said I9000XWJM5 with CSC I9000XWJM2 is the best. Any issue to use this mix different firmware? Is that ok to use Europe firmware as I am staying in Malaysia?
I am going to try this out then apply Tayutama update.zip lag fix. Wonder will it solve my current lag issue.
Hope to get more advice or oppinions on this. thank you
Hello,
Last night I found available through KIES the firmware update to Froyo, I got JPA from TMN Portugal.
Phone had some problems with my google account, so I did a Factory Reset, everything seemed right after that, phone was real fast, no lag, I finally got rid of that stupid voodoo color fix wich made screen look to darn saturated....
When I tried GPS, it didn't work at all, couldn't get a lock on anything, I left it trying to stablish a connection for several minutes and nothing happened, usually, it wouldn't take more than 30 secs to get my position even with WiFi off.
Phone is working perfectly, only problem now is GPS, can't get it to work. before upgrading to JPA, I had JM8 from TMN Portugal too... and I had great GPS performance.
I have been thinking about flashing to JPO, but I'm really not sure if this will fix GPS.
Anyone here could help out?
Thanks.
GPS never locks, i was on KK1 baseband, then changed to kk6, then KL1, and now im on UGkk7, and still the same....
Im with franco kernel 14.4 and AOKP 21... dont know whre is the issue...
I will try UGKL1 radio...im in Mexico.
EDIT: Now im on UGKL1 and the GPS never locks : (
Try GPS Test, then settings, update A-GPS. This will load the current and future locations of GPS satellites to speed up GPS fix.
You will also be able to see if it is listening to any GPS satellites.
hey everyone, i flashed version 1.0 of andromeda recently and i have noticed that my data speeds (especially market downloads) are very slow. i couldn't even complete a download of speedtest to actually determine my data speeds. over wifi i'm fine, but on att's network i can not finish market downloads. to fix this, i did an odin flash back to stop and a master clear, but even on stock now my market downloads are extreeeemely slow over 3g.
i dont see how this has anything to do with andromeda because after 2 stock flashes and 2 master clears i still have trouble with the market. just wondering if anyone else is having this problem or if there's anything else i can do to fix it.
ETA: ive used several other roms/kernels and have not had this issue until i installed andromeda. stock flash + master clear should negate any effects of a bad install, but i figured this might be relevant.
Not experiencing same issue but running andromeda 2. Have you considered flashing a different modem
that was my next step...but im getting these problems now even with the stock modem on JF6. no idea what's going on.
I experienced something like this on another rom once before. Have you checked if there are service issues in your area? Its the problem on wifi as well?

could be possible, but it would have to be a fairly widespread issue because i had the same issues this morning about 70 miles away from where i am right now.
How is data on wifi
Hello:
I need a list with all the gps related files.
I'm triying to make a CWM update with the JI6 gps files.
The reason I'm triying to do this its because JI6 was the only rom at the moment wich gave me acceptable GPS.
Thanks in advance.
Whipon.
EDIT: I forgot to mention, I have a rev 1006 Captivate.
Usually I see from 6 to 8 sats, but never get a lock.
I've tried several roms (rogers froyo, JPY, WSJ3, Adromeda) with the same results.
I can't get a lock.
With JI6 I got a lock in seconds.
gps is funny and i think the files you are reffering to are the same on several roms since ji6. actually ji6 would crash the gps daemon on my phone if i changed the lbs test settings. and as far as i can find ji6 jj4 and jm9 and many other i9000 roms all have the same libraries. whatever the other differences may be it might be hard to find the files and they might not work on x rom
if i where you id try the gps restore app. i can tell you it doesnt do what the description suggests because i have used it and it doesnt set lbs settings to stock. my lbs changes remain after i run the app. also it clears gps data that lbs test mode doesn't. a gsm reset or factory reset can fix some gps problem if the problem is in data. the gps restore app seems to have a similar effect but you dont need to backup your apps to use it like a factory reset. if it doesnt work youve wasted 2 minutes to install and run it.
read da_g's first post in his thread and then read it again. try all of his fixes and make sure the lbs settings match the config and jupiter files for each fix. i find that the control plane version works the best for me.
also have you tried the ji6 modem on those roms? the modem is critical. some modems get better reception and may also pickup more noise. you may need to attenuate the signal, noise may be preventing a fix, the signal can be attenuated in jupiter.xml. or you may need a stronger signal, maybe ji6 modem is giving you better reception.
Well, it seems it worked
Well, I'm editing the post, because it worked.
Changed all settings in LbsTestMode to the default Darky ones.
Cleared gps data.
Then loaded Gps Restore and it successfully completed all tasks.
Got a gps lock in seconds with 25 meters accuracy.
Its far better than nothing.
Thank you very much for your help .
Its not working well
Well, tried the gps with LbsTestMode and I get a lock as I said with 25 meters accuracy.
However Ndrive can't give me my current position. It shows me in at least 100 meters from I really am, in some random street.
Google Maps has a 1500 meters accuracy.
All is left is tweaking jupiter.xml.
I don't want to use JI6 modem because it doesn't support HSDPA.
Currently I'm using JK4.
It seems its fixed
Well, did some tweaks to jupiter.xml and after a reboot I got a lock in around 5 seconds with a 10 meters accuracy.
I noticed my jupiter.xml had the spirent supl server instead of the google one.
All tests were done in my house. I have to test it tomorrow in the street.
I will post my results tomorrow ^^.
Hi all,
I've had SGS for over 8 months now on O2 Contract, UK. Currently running on Darkys Rom. Everything was great until yesterday morning the mobile internet has suddenly stopped working!
I've tried everything; Re-setting the correct APN manually, Switch on/off, Taking battery out. Called O2 & and tried to reset with their assistant but none of it worked. The network seems to be up and running fine on their side.
The symtoms are; I do have the 3G icon on the bar (Displaying 'H'), since I usually get a good strong signal in my area. The problem is, when I start the browser, the google.co.uk webpage works ok-ish. But for any other sites, doesn't work. Can't access email or facebook or anyother internet related apps. All connections fail.
I have other O2-Simcard. And when I try to use internet on my SGS, the same problem occurs. (Websites load less than half and everything stops) The sim cards work fine in my other phone.
Could this be a hardware problem?
I didn't drop or anything, I've been taking a real good care
Somebody please, please help!, Please.
You say Google works therefore internet works .Errors are possibly elsewhere in settings .
Worth doing a factory reset after backing up data to see if that clears the problem .
As its yet another Darky rom problem i suggest asking Darky if above fails .
Hardware probably not blame the rom or settings first .
You will have to remove the rom if you need to make a warranty claim .
jje
I agree with JJ, this sounds like a ROM/Settings problem. If you can get Google, then your hardware is fine. An Antenna failure is usually all or nothing.
Maybe check in Settings/Wireless and Network/Wireless Network Settings/Network Mode and make sure it is still in Auto mode, or switch to 3G only?
As a last resort, flash to a stock rom and see if the problem goes away.
Thanks, guys! JJEgan & rschenck.
Network mode has always been Auto mode & I tried all options but no luck..
The thing is, the 3g internet has always worked fine with Darky Rom. It's just that this happned all of sudden.
I guess I'll try factory reset first, if it doesn't work, I'll then flash to stock rom.. Glad to hear it probably won't be the antenna failure.
I'll keep posted after I try!
Hi guys, I'm still at work so haven't had a chance to do anything.
But magically! I've just put my other (PAYG) O2 simcard and the internet now works! However, still not as good as before. (Slightly laggy)
I was using Darkys 9.3 when the internet stopped working properly, so I upgraded to 9.5 hoping that it would fix the problem, but no help.
Since that it's working now. It seems internet connections is slower than when I had 9.3. Well, at least it works now. (Kind of)
