[Q]Froyo on Galaxy S with arabic

HI,
I installed froyo on my galaxy S recently and i was wondering if there is anything out there that lets me view arabic in full (with connected letters etc) right now they are all disconnected and the words are left to right not right ot left. In 2.1 i installed an update.zip in one of the roms and that bought me arabic support is there anything similar i can do for froyo?
Thanks

Could you please point me to the site where I can get that update.zip and also instructions on how I need to do the update?
I would really appreciate your help here.
Regards

Strange issue really

You mean you had a problem after the upgrade? If so, what was it? Or what problem are you referring to?
Thanks.

I did see that page before. But my arabic is not strong enough to understand the instructions there. I am still learning. Do you know of any page that shows those instructions in English?
Thanks.

[Q] Cant update using kies?

Can anyone help me. I updated to jm1 a while back using odin and now want to update my phone using kies. The latest kies says is that my software is the latest and doesn't need updating. Any ideas whats wrong? Thanks

What would you like to update? Do you want to update your Galaxy to Froyo? Froyo is not available in the UK (I am not sure if you are from the UK, but I guessed that from your avatar) so far, it will be next week. Unless you want to use the reghack - you can find more information about this here on XDA dev forums...

Thanks for the info.
Updated the phone to froyo.xwjp6 with kies by looking at the sticky that was put up today. Quite impressed!!!

good stuf! froyo is wayy beter than eclair lol

Nothing. It is correct.

[Q] Rollback to 2.1

I have a Samsung Galaxy S which would have been due it's Froyo update.
A mate said he would update it for me manually.
My phone on the whole works (except the clock is never right, pinch/zoom on home-screens doesn't work) as it should but would prefer to have the official update when it is ready.
Will I be able to get the update when it is ready or will I have to rollback to 2.1?
If I need to rollback could someone give me a link (or step by step instructions) please?
My phones details are as follows:
Android Version 2.2
Baseband Version: I9000XXJP2
Kernel Version: 2.6.32.9 ([email protected] #1)
Build Number GT-I9000-eng 2.2 MASTER 332 test-keys.332
My friend isn't get anywhere near my phone again.....

Stuck in the same situation here mate.....

Type *#272*(the phones imei number found in settings about phone)# the select from the list xeu (if u live in europe otherwise select the one u need) . Then update via kies.
If u want to have ur operaters firmware u will need to download a emulator and root ya phone and hack the phone. I think theres a post on xda for it

Thanks for that but when I key in *#272*IMEI# I get "USSD code running" and then "UNKNOWN APPLICATION" and then nothing.
Any odeas?

Instead of typing imei could try typing current time on the phone in 24h format like for 14:51 it would be 1451

If u cant get that to work just do the the reg hack.
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Samsung\Kies\DeviceDB\4]
"SoftwareRevision"="I9000XXJF3/I9000OXAJF3/I9000XXJF3/I9000XXJF3"
"ProductCode"="GT-I9000HKDXEU"
"HIDSWVER"=""
"DEVCONINFO"=""
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Samsung\Kies\]
"LocalVer"="1.5.3.10103.100"
Ya might still want to check your phone is on the correct region after and if not use the *#272*imei# trick

No, you have to type imei but NOT A WORD "IMEI" but your imei number found on your telephone box.

Don't bother mate. I was in the same boat, installed the older version of Kies, hacked the registry, and it updated to JPO. But trust me, it's garbage. Look for one of the popular custom JPOs instead, that's what I'm off to do now.

I'm needing a bit of help with this also I'm afraid. I got fed up waiting for my upgrade so decided to take matters into my own hands. Flashed my phone to JM1 which was them same version of 2.1 as my friend who has an unbranded phone was running. I assumed that I would get to update to 2.2 just as he had. However, it says my device cannot be updated. Now my service provider has released my update but I can't find the JM3-JM4 files on Samsung Firmware site to get me back where I was in order to receive my upgrade.
I'd be really greatful if anyone could help.

Wow this is the first time I hear the 2.2.1 firmware is official, because you say you have it on a new Galaxy..
Anyway, on my JPY I used superoneclick and it worked like magic.
Just search this forum for SuperOneClick, and follow the instructions in the author's thread.
I just downloaded program, put my phone in USB debug mode, connected phone, launched SUperOneClick, pressed Root button, and that was about it...

u use odin? try using hardcore's kernel K12A. Flash it with odin, and go into recovery. One of the option is to install superuser (root).
Er, just curious, what's your build prop? Can let us know?

Yep. got my phone today from virgin and I can't root it either!
Just ran benchmark score @ 1232

really? xD the two persons that have the "JPW" only they have writen 1 message........... I think they are trolls, but...

[Q + solution found] [ICS] Carrier name in lockscreen and notification

Searched but probably did not know what to look for exactly...
I flashed OneCosmic's ICS RC2.11 a few days ago and since then, my carrier "name" does not appear anymore in the notification menu nor does it on the lockscreen.
I only see it's "number" ... 302610 which stands for BCM - Bell Canada Mobility
The question : what do I need to edit so that I no longer see a number in there?
EDIT : If there's an app that would do the trick, that would be even better!
EDIT 2 : Solution here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=916738
Thanks in advance

Anyone ?

I used the carrier name app since i have the same issue on Telus..only added to the existing though.

Where did you get that app?
Can't find anything by that name on the market...
Do you have a link or can you post the app here please ?
Thanks

I swear I got it from the market the other day... not there today. Check your pm

This problem happened to quite a few people. Check the threads for cm7 and Onecosmic ICS. I've read the same question and answer there.

I flashed teamhacksung's ice and the carrier name shows correctly AND is changeable using this

Wish I knew more about how/why but it's totally doable.

Any definitive way to fix this on Onecosmic's? I know it didn't show the right carrier name on CM7 either.

I'm not willing to give this a try unless someone can confirm me that it worked for him on OneCosmic's as it clearly states not to try it on any other ROM than Team Hacksung's.
Still searching for a solution...

I tried to change the apns-conf.xml and eri.xml, tried an alternative ICS settings app and carrier name app but nothing works, I still have 302610 instead of Bell. If someone has a solution, please post it in here! Thank you

Here You Go mate. after changing carrier name you will have to restart your phone.

It doesn't work, nothing changes... thanks for your help!

I finally got it to work on Team SGSICS RC3 but it should work for any CM7/CM9/ICS builds for as far as I can understand.
