I've read in some threads that samsung is removing their JPM/JP6 firmware from KIES update... Is this true?
I live in Canada, so I technically dont have the update yet anyways, but have any of the europeans on this site noticed this?
Also! Supposing that samsung isnt removing their froyo firmware, is there any harm in me doing the regedit hack to get the froyo update NOW instead of waiting for it to be "officially" released in canada?
better wait mate!
i tried froyo ... phone was slow, bunch of google apps were not working and after the first reboot the phone stopped working

I had to do a factory reset after updating to Froyo to make the phone run at normal speed. Samsung screwed up the update, especially with the Market also vanishing.
(After the reset, it runs just fine though - almost no complaints!)
Looks that way, chap. I just tried the erg hack and still no f/w available to download...
this is good news then! seems like they want to address the issues
[Q] downgrade from froyo to eclair
Hi all new member. I have an unlocked galaxy s on o2 from the carphone warehouse in uk. I used the reg hack to upgrade to froyo and all is well exept my product code has now changed from xeu to xee. I have decided that i want to return to my original 2.1 firmware and wait for the official uk froyo release. Would i be able to use the original hack (with a few changes)that we used to get froyo to trick kies into giving me my old firmware back???
My old firmware was xxjm1 for all 3 files
If the answer to the above is yes then i am just wondering what to change for the hdswerver? i know that i will use xxjf3 but there is a part that says "swc" what would i change this to?? Hope somebody can help
Woo hoo! Back to JM1 I go then! I'll give them another chance to get it right otherwise it's an iPhone 4 for me for Christmas!

Root your phone
and download a root file explorer
go to /EFS and delete the files nv_data.bin and nv_data.bin.md5 simultaneously
that should fix it

They removed it this morning, It's not possible to update using kies to 2.2 at the moment. Only way is to use odin to flash it.
I also have it from bell canada and I decided to wait after hearing people loosing 850 band. I dont want to take a risk. I ve been waiting for 2 months and can wait couple more weeks.

Hi, I'm not so clever with linux and android and I've the same problem: I want to roll back to 2.1 JM2 italian version because not satisfied with froyo
What should I do after deleting the two files?
Thanks
I find it hard to belive that froyo runs slower than 2.1. If you do a facyory reset after upgrade it.s quite fast and responsive. much faster than 2.1. Vodoo is also gonna set up a new version of their lag fix to run on 2.2. just wait. I updated using kies and regedit.

I'm happy to hear that your experience is fine. Mine looks very different.. the SGS with froyo is slower than eclair also with OCLF. Free memory is less than 160MB instead the 200MB or more with eclair. Some apps are always running even when I kill manually or automatically..
And more I can't see important features that wasn't on eclair..
But that's my opinion..

Really? Wiped too right after flashing. And I can confirm that Froyo is laggier than Eclair (at least in some aspects). Here are some examples:
- laggy keyboard input (eg: on market, when writing a long post on the browser, etc)
- laggy app drawer. if I slide fast between apps pages it start lags. I have 6 pages of apps. Also pinch to zoom out in app drawer it's extremely laggy.
- laggy browser, consumes a lot of RAM and CPU. Try for eg pocketnow.com. Go and watch RAM/CPU usage in Task Manager. (tested with plugins off and on demand)
- even less free RAM available
And that's with voodoo lag fix applied.
And that's just not me. It's global. I bet you have those issues too, maybe you haven't used the phone too much.

Why I'm not surprised to hear it also from other people?!?
The question you're asking ought to be directed to Scandinavian as they're the only ones that can tell for sure. So here's mt crack at it.
Are there any Scandinavians out here who have a Galaxy s on the original elair 2.1 and can confirm that if they check for an update none is showing where KIES used to indicate a Froyo update was available?
If the answer is yes then the update got pulled, if no it means Samsung is proceeding as planned. There is also a small possibility they want to fix stuff before releasing it outside Scandinavia. I really don't think that's very likely in this case, it's inconsistent with leaking the regional firmware for Arabic and African countries.
I guess only time will tell. I'm going to wait for a one of the cyanogenmod as I have lost all faith in Samsung ever getting this firmware right. Actually jm2 with voodoo is not so bad.

I will explore more, it's wierd, the keyboard input seems to be one of the most succesfull improvements in the 2.2 on my galaxy s.

The lag everyone refers to the RFS file system and how it affects the phone by slow degraded performance over time; this effects the phones ability to do simple tasks like open applications or run smoothly (a lot more than just the UI and launcher).
Getting a new launcher (like Launcher Pro) will 'cover' the effects of the UI smoothness since Launcher Pro just feels smooth but after awhile, the RFS file system will just barf and degrade your phone to a crawl (if it gets that bad).

Hi there. I just updatede my speedmod kernel from k12t to k12u. And after that apps like barcode scanner and goolge goggles doesnt work. But my camera første... any solutions?
Sent from the Galaxy
Same here, but I experienced this with former kernel too.
Switching back to other kernel didn't fix it.
So I don't think that this belong to the kernel itself.
I switched a lot forward and backward, like cam FW or cam- and barcodescanner-apps, SGS Tools with cam hack and so on but still no clue.
I'm now on Doc's ROM without any failure before JS3.
So, now the cam is working for taking pictures but as soon as I switch to video it FCs. Same with all scanner apps.
EDIT: switched several times between 12t und 12u and between that to hacked cam app (SGS Tools) ... and just right now its working again. so, absolutely no clue but waiting for next impact.
EDIT2: seems that others before had similar impact: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11036914&postcount=12152
EDIT3:
AAARRRRGHHH ... fixed... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=822756&highlight=camera&page=806
Read from post#8059. It's the email.apk...
I formely switch to the new email.apk from Galaxy Tab and I can enforce same issue again and again when using the new email.apk.
it doesn't occur with old 2.2.1 email.apk.
Someone need to teach Google and Samsung the idea of "Modular".

You are the Man!!! Restored the stock email and everything is working again.

Pst... let me tell you a secret... I did this 9 times.
To be honest: there was a slight feeling that it could be the email.apk because I switched that many times too - but I tought that it is too idiotic to talk about.
So, your request helped me too because before I wasn't searching seriously.

hi guys , is there any way to fix the lag while scrolling on stock 2.3.4 v20x? i have this kind of lag on contacts menu , settings menu and others... on 2.2.2 froyo there was no lag on scrolling , also in cm7 the same , no lag. But i dont want to flash this ROMs again because cm7 is very buggy has sound problems and camera lag. So is there any way to fix this lag on stock 2.3.4? Thanks in advance

If you wanna stay on stock rom i suggest you flash v20e. If you insist on europe version i suggest you flash v20o. These are latest stock roms. And i think this is the quickest and the best solution to your problem. Rooted ones can be found here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1480392 (look at the latest pages)
If you are open to using custom roms and if you are all about performance knock on Huexxx's door and install Zeus v6 : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1454274
If you are all about looks then look for the achyut's roms Prada, Sapphire. There is also a great ROM, tantrum's Marvel v6. I gave you a sneak peak. Rest is in your hands. Look for them in the forum make up your mind.
And for a future referance a friendly suggestion: Questions should be posted at Q/A section.
I had both german roms, N and now O, and there was no lag in any menu... maybe your problem is elsewhere, a bad app or maybe too many messages (SMS)??
Try to install WatchDog and look for a bad app... too many CPU cycles...
I have more than 800 contacts... (From '97 and it's still growing), including facebook contacts, a vast array of apps and games and there is no problem, no noticeable lag! The new Gingerbread is way faster than Froyo, so it's a little awkward that you have lag problems.
If you have badly cracked apk's that could be a problem too (try to buy them, google has a very good discount policy), or different add oriented apps, because a lot of them are running constantly and it's no wonder that your phone lags! I had the same problem with GLU's Games... all run in the background and are impossible to stop... STUPID if you ask me!!!
i have lag on the contact list too, froyo was noticeably much much smoother.
its so weird, i havent found a solution yet so i'll be waiting for further new LG firmwares.
(tried both v20n and v20o)
its the same on any rom even zeus v6 , marvel , and v20x its just a 15 fps lag on scrolling , and i dont like it , it isnt smooth enough ... maybe there is a fps cap?
I agree with u guys I have lag too, the only Rom I used without lag was cm7
Sent from my LG-P970 using XDA
so is there any way to remove this 15 fps cap ? it would be nice if is a way
I have recently installed the AOKP GalaxianSoup Rom, and I was really happy with it because it is really smooth, however I found an issue which forces me to use Honeycomb rather than ICS. When I use the stock browser after a while it becomes unresponsive. It doesn't load pages and even if I force close it still I can't view any webpages. I tried to figure out what causes this and it might be related to Flash content. I also observed this problem with AOSP and CM9 Roms too. I am asking everyone: is this a common issue or it can be only found at me. What can be done to resolve this problem? Thanks for the answers in advance!

There is a common browser issue similar to what you described, but Force stopping the browser fixes this issue every time. To prevent it happening you can set Plugins to On demand. And yes, it is related to Flash.
