[Q] The New Official Froyo Experience - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey Guys... So after updating to official froyo how is the new experience for everyone?
Few for my part...
1. MTP Application Error seems to have been fixed even with a file extension of length more than 16
2. The Mass Storage option while connecting to a computer has changed
3. But speed hasnt changed on a scalable level from previous
4. Still some Applications need force closing
5. Many more applications starting automatically

I think theres a big improvement on my device. I have a ton of apps and lag is very minimal. GPS was really poor at first but recently using the google nav app its been REALLY good. I really don't know why though. Even when I change route it takes like 2 seconds to recalculate and show where am going.

Ok so that means the update does fix the GPS yup sammy does it again....
But samsung must provide update faster... Or else we will end up getting Gingerbread in 2012

I wouldn't say it's 100% fixed but for me it's a big improvement over Eclair firmwares

The lag is really a big minor ยก
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

immediately after i flashed it was fast as hell .....i was thinking maybe no lagfix needed .....untill i installed a few apps, then it became unuseable, maybe even worse than eclair ....or rather, most of the phone is quite fast, but certain apps are veerrry slow

Yeah. I have also installed a lagfix. Without it would be nearly unusable.
Too bad.

its first realease of Froyo. Still samsung need to work on performance tuneing and more stable version of froyo......

i have just discovered that the camera firmware is MUCH better on JPO than it was with JM2

I went from jm9 to jpo yesterday. I am still wondering whether to stay with froyo or go back to eclair. Eclair is definitely faster and the gps fixes were in the latest releases of eclair, I had no problems with the gps in the latest eclair versions, it still wasn't what I would call a great phone gps but was good enough for most things.
The memory usage for the browser is horrific on froyo and the browser crawls compared to the eclair one, a bit disappointing.
Market in froyo is super fast, nice.. but not a big thing really because I dont spend that much time in the market. I'd prefer having a faster browser.
Froyo does bring a few nice things but its definitely not wow like I was expecting after hearing so many people moan about it being delayed etc.
Flash? its so slow its not even worth it. Maybe when dual core cpu's come out flash might be better but I can kind of see why apple didn't bother with it now heh.
Hopefully we are going to see Samsung keep releasing new versions of froyo like they kept doing with elcair and they will get better and better but for now.. Im seriously thinking of heading back to eclair.

I dont know how the hell the samsung company can t make a froyo that has no bug or problem, and the guys from htc did that with no problem. I have a htc desire with froyo updated via ota and i have no problem very fast and stable.

How so? Faster picture taking? Less noise? Do share...

After the update, everything was quicker, but the email app which is link to an exchange account is really slow.
Then I did a full wipe/factory reset, everything is very fast now, no lag at all.
with Stock JPO firmware.

Can anyone please confirm if the mic recording has improved when recording video ( loud noises ) ?

better focus, better compression settings, resulting in higher quality, sharper images
......although vignette still takes images at twice the quality with less noise, (tradeoff being the very slow speed)

As experienced in the Accessorie section, loud noise limitation are more likely hardware related.
There's a workaround (external microphone) wich will give you results way ahead of any phones (original's mic)

Slow exchange gmail
Hi
After my update to froyo my exchange email has become very very slow.
CPU is using more than 40 o/o to run the gmail app. ( no sync.)
Anybody els facing the same problem ?

Hi
I installed JPA ... and I must confess that's the worst experience I ever had with a FW.
I can't count anymore the number of FC and the lag has reach some level never reached before.
The mail is so laggy that once ... after waiting for the refresh I tried to go back ... .nothing .... nothing ... and my account was gone. I had to recreate it.
I installed the DOCRambone 7.6.rom and the lagfix no RFS + ext4 and it doens't really change my feeling about the lag. For instance when I open my mail it takes few second to appear and when it appears it is forzen for 5 to 10 sec more ( I can open a mail , I can scroll the folder bar on the top ...)
I didn't try yet the GPS , I installed cardio trainer so next time I run I will do a quick test. I don't know why but I'm pretty sure it won't be nice to see

Wow, that's one MOTHER****** of a long sentence.
You should flash the DOC_KALPIK FROYO JP6/JM6 V6 custom ROM. This ROM is the best I have tried so far. Instructions are on the 2nd or 3rd post and follow them to the letter!
Major credit to Docrambone and Kalpik.
You'll thank me later!
FroYo sucks bigtime for me as well. I've got a fresh jp6 with voodoo and everything still seems slower than jf3 with voodoo. Especially the browsing.. Samsung messed it up, again.

Well benchmark results of oclf are way higher than the ones of voodoo. But voodoo fixes the things u really use. Benchmark is just a stress test 4 ur phone but its far away from really using ur phone.
Did u check repartition while flashing? Coz what ur telling sounds like there is some bad software running in the background. And belive me i know what im talking about i had to do factory reset today after trying to download galerians rom for psx (downloaded @ rombuddy psx) and i wasnt able to locate the malicous file on my phone.
Im on jpm with voodoo and it works perfectly. Psx4droid and all.the gameloft games (asphalt hd, nova and gangsters) are running without problems. Just some psx roms are not but thats problem of the rom amd not froyo.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk
so jpm runs more smoothly even with a lower quad rating and yes i repartitioned and lost like a 100 and something apps lol i will try jpm for a bit then see how that runs if its not great ill try the custom jp6 see how that runs. last time i installed jpm after jp3 using "JPM_JPM_U_JPM" as pda it worked but is this the right way.
thnx for your replys
Yes it runns more smothely (in my oppinion) but still ive put voodoo on coz there is some lagging. And jp6 isnt really different from jpm (at least I cant feal any difference between em)
@phandroid
There is a fix for the browser coz samsung really did mess up with that. Just search the forum for froyo browser fix
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk
I reckon reason why froyo is slow for some is that Samsung put in extra bull**** startup process's. Hence giving you less ram. Disable them with startup manager and install 336meg free ram kernel as froyo comes standard now with only 300 megs readable. Also I am seeing lag after installing jfs lag fix via the universal lag fix kernel. Starting to think all lag fixes screw up after a week. Prob due to fragmentation. I have to reformat every 3 weeks due to data corruption with lag fixes. But without a affix the damned phone is slow as a freakin Nokia phone. Screw you Samsung
Sent from my GT-I9000
Yeah it's a shame that Samsung is able to deliver such great hardware but screw up such a great operating system.
Too bad voodoo won't work with the 340 MB kernel...
Well, let's just hope for another FroYo release.

I don't recall Samsung EVER saying that, and that sounds like an assumption.
And forget about quadrant. It doesn't test realistic workloads. You might have a I/O write speed of 6gb/sec, a read speed of only 1mb/s, and for all we know, Quadrant might treat them equally (even though the phone might barely perform any writing at all). Use it as a guide, but unless you know EXACTLY how it tests the hardware, and the workloads you need, the results can be deceptive.
Also, I messed around with an iPhone 4 2 weeks ago and it was laggier than my SGS even without lagfix in JPM. Sure the scrolling was smoother, but switching between apps was a joke.
Give JPO a try, and wait for stock mods. But personally, I recommend against using filesystem conversion mods.
The ram is a problem for some people I guess, but I'd imagine it depends on what you are using your phone for..

Uhh, help with lag, please.

So i'll keep this simple. My captivate is less than two months old and it's become VERY slow. I get lag of at least five seconds every few minutes. Frankly it's starting to piss me off; I know this is a fast phone. I have the J16 froyo ROM. Could it be my ROM? What do you guys recommend as a rom? My iphone 3GS was MUCH faster. (the lag on my captivate ia usually from typing or pressing the touch sensitive buttons at the bottom. Tabs in apps sometimes as well.)
Please help!

It could be a few different things. Easiest would probably be to just flash a rom like Phoenix 3.0 or Perception 10.1
I don't think its a rom issue. Just try to get rid of Widgets, live wallpaper(if u have one), and non-needed apps and see what happens.

If he is using just a leaked froyo rom. it probably has no lag fix. So installing a rom like i mentioned will give him the lagfix.
only widgets I have seen that make a lot of lag are ones that constantly use sensors, like compass widgets, etc.

I've used them all, and these really stand out!!
You can use the kernels that come with them or flash your own kernel and modem.
Thanks all for the replies. The only Widgets I run are the Task killer, and the power saver one to quickly enable wifi when in range, etc. No live wallpaper.
I don't have any hard evidence, but my experience is that having alot of apps slows down the phone. For me, when i have more than 10 or so apps, the phone begins to get bogged down. 15+ it becomes very noticable. 20+ i flash a new rom haha.
It was the rom. Im now running phoenix 3.0 and I now get H! Thanks man!

Need input on how G2X functions as a phone

Considering buying the G2X in 3 days although I am having serious misgivings after reading some of these threads which list the serious issues this device seems to be plagued with. I would greatly appreciate any feedback on how the device functions as a phone such as call clarity and volume through headset and speaker phone clarity and volume. Also apparent signal strength etc. Any and all help is warmly received.
I had the 2x for a month nov. And i will say that the phone have some problems.but its a great phone, and many people are working on it, so it will be a very good phone. I will recommend it to every body. Sorry the bad english.

The sound is god. Also with speaker. I had a desire hd before, muts better sound on the 2x. I think the small problems with this phone, will be fixed. And we will end up with a fantastic phone, and very very fast.

Thanks again I probably will
I have the phone since last friday (Vodafone Germany tho) and it looks like I got a good one lol... I also read all those threads here weeks before getting it and actually made sure that I wouldnt have any issues getting a new one from Vodafone if I had lots of problems.. turns out I dont. Had a few forcecloses the first day (even F-Secure crashed but I never ever launched it so far) but since then not a single one. Also no reboots or major laggs or something similar as reported in that other thread.
The sound quality is actually pretty good, way better then the Nexus One, the speaker is way better.
GPS is fast enough, didnt experience any trouble at all.
But I am going to install a Custom Rom as there are a few lagg spikes when launching apps and stuff but nothing really bad. I just want to see how fast this phone can really be
Also, keep in mind that the device we'll get in the US will be different in build and software from the international version. The speaker/mic combo will most likely be similar, but things like GPS and call quality can vary drastically because they're based on software.

Good point! I use GPS a lot every day and most of the day. I have a Vibrant now and the GPS leaves a lot to be desired. Teetering back and forth as to whether to pull the trigger and get it or not. Probably will though. Been waiting for it to come out for awhile.
I had a Nokia N8 at home, it could find satelites really quick. The LG2X can't.
The speakers are really the worst hardware part of the device.. really bad sound it's the biggest negative. Overall it is a great phone , the best phone I've ever had, and enjoyed the most.. just too sad the soundquality + speakers is really bad imo.. but my contacts told me that they can here me very good.. so its just you suffering on that not the callers -_-
I can just recommend it. But with the sidenote you to check those things by yourself first live, if these attributes are really that important to you, so you don't get disappointed after.
Would like to hear your thoughts of it when u use it, i believe they could have improved G2x compared to the LG2x, cause it has other messsurements and vanilla android so i guess they reacted to the feedback which was given by the buyers.
Sorry for this long text xD
PS. Just tested GPS again.. and it found within 30 seconds within the building =) GPS is fine!
Every phones has its problem. Nothing is perfect. The o2x as a phone is good. No major issues about it. And after installing paul's MCR, it became a lot lot better.
GPS works fine for me. It just depends where am i. There are places where i can only get a fix after 30-60 seconds but most of the time i can get a fix for 5-10 secs only.
Hey guys, thx for the opinions.
At this moment I have an HTC HD2 and after having owned a numerous number of HTC's I am fedup with them. It seems they make models that always have some issue either batt wise, speaker wise etc.
As I use my phone mainly for gps is there someone who can upload a video on youtube showing the startup with gps status or something?
Also my HD2 has/had a quick lock but the receiver fails in other departments like having jitter on the output making the gps go in crazy steps or circles.
I would also love to see a video of how the screen looks in sunlight and how the speaker sounds when you are using the device as navigation in the car.

Thanks so much for your kind input. This is just the kind of feedback I need to make a prudent decision. My only phone is a cell phone so I need the phone part to be first class as well as the GPS which I use on a daily basis(also hourly). Still undecided oh well I guess I still have 2 more days to make a decision.

[Q] Touchscreen Lag IncS

Hey folks,
I'm experiencing with my IS, as mentioned in the title, an input lag of the touchscreen. It is not really disturbing, but the fact, that my friends Wildfire recognizes the input better, with Stock 2.1 ROM installed, bothers me really
In the moment I'm S-off on Android Revolution HD 1.1.2, which has a slightly better input than stock 2.3.3, but it is still there. Please tell me, if you are experiencing similar problems.
thanks Max
Only thing I've noticed so far is that if you drag slowly In some applications (like the browser, doesn't matter which browser I'm using) it doesn't scroll at all... but in the settings menu I can swipe downwards as slow as I want to, so I guess what I'm experiencing is software related...
What I really want to know is if I'm alone, or if there has noticed the same thing
Sent from a dumb phone
with my IcS... ive noticed that certain parts of my screen at the randomest times will stop recognizing input.... for me this happens exactly at the O and N key... after leaving it for a few seconds... it starts working again so not much of an issue to me...
there is an app in market place called touchscreen booster... maybe apply that and see if that helps u change the sensitivity...

thanks for the advice danial.aw. I tried your method, but the only touchscreen booster app i found in the market was for SGS, so that hadn't had any effect
Keeps annoying me buying a 500$ phone that has such a crappy touchscreen...
Sounds to me like you might have a faulty unit if it's bad with both stock and custom ROMs. Never had any issue with mine.

Not a clue I'm afraid. Always worth asking them I suppose.
well yes it says thats its for SGS only... but the app worked on my Atrix when i had it... so im assuming it might actually help more phones than that... try it out and see...
Doesn't make any difference no matter what i set in the app. I will drive to a store today to see if it might be subjective but I don't think so.
Edit: well it's not only subjective, I'll give the warranty a try, lets see how the will react

God WP7 is woeful, the mango update had better fix/add a lot of features...
No I've tested the one from my sister for already two months and I'm very content with WP7. A Phone should be fast and I'm not really into Apple's politics.
You will be in microsofts politics though. WP7 is as closed down as ios. At least with apple you get a good warranty service.

g1 to slow

I know the phone is old but its really unusable. Its so slow even the time is about 8 mins slow. I restarted the phone but after an hour the time keeps going back 8 mins. Using apps are really slow.
I am using cyanogenmod 7.1.0
Its just to old bro, like an old dog. I sold mine for like $50 and 3 J's hahaha

What do you expect? At least you should install the 0013d/2708 combo to get additional 15MB RAM, otherwise Gingerbread ROMs will be slow, especially when you enable swap. If you would like to try out a GB ROM on your G1 you should go with ezGingerbread or one of it's variants. Just my 2 cents.
i might get rid of the g1. I saw on youtube peoples were running fast but mine is unusable except to text and make calls and even those apps are slow.

Have you tried updating your SPL/radio and ROM? Froyo ROM is pretty fast.
the phone is posted for 10 times .
and I find that the cyanogenmod 5 is very fast .
you can try.
the android system is 2.1 .
well if you have the time you could solve your problem quite easy.
root, change firmware and radio, and install a newer and tweaked rom like Laszlos' rom or froyo for trout. these are quite reliable.
This phone really isnt slow. It all depends on a persons needs as a cellphone user. For me its perfect. I dont play games, or run ram intensive apps. As long as i can make a call, send text/mms and browse the web every once in a while im a happy camper. Not to mention Laszlos Rom is so fast, i feel like im on a newer device anyway.

yep. its fully enough for me as well. now that theres DreamTeams' Froyo 2.2.2. based ROM, it even more snappy and fast than was with Laszlos' ROM, except there's not yet notification powercontrol and reboot option at Longpress-Powerbutton, but they are working on it.
so should one do nandroid backup and try that mod as well!

Blazingly fast for me. I also use it to play games that are power hunger, but it does not even slow down as much as I thought.
I am using Froyo Melt latest version (AKA: DreamTeam 2.2.2 : Same build with mod)

for some reason both of those Roms we're acting up for me ... I think you were in that thread BeenAndroidized.. Froyo Melt had tons of FC issues for me. DreamTeams Froyo worked great, except when i imported contacts from SIM or Sdcard they would not show up on contact list, but they would show up in text message app..very weird. So Laszlos for me right now lol
I also enjoy the features Laszlos has like Magpie and overclocking built in. Makes my life easier lol

I am in both threads, both Dreamteam and Froyo Melt ROMs has the same build. I am not sure why you have a lot of FCs. I have not had that issue there.
With the import from SIM card, I do not know what to tell you.

I thought about Laszlos ROM, but end up not using it. Don't know why.
