Then i checked the firmware, it is android version 2.2 aka Froyo. I was happy at first , but then i realise my phone lag badly! i cant pull down notification drawer, the drawer will stuck and in order to use my phone, i have to click the back button, so that the stucked drawer will close, and i cant type properly, lag lag and lagggs! WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED GUYS? CAN ANYONE ANSWER ME PLEASE? IS THERE ANY WAY TO FIX THESE LAGS? should'nt Froyo be faster and better? please please i need help... should I use Anvanced task killer or anything?

maybe boot into recovery and clear cache/dalvich cache and factory reset.
Just instal a lag fix like voodoo 5

First thing you should do is a complete factory/data reset. The upgrade process isn't very good
@tragusman: erm how to boot into recovery, sorry im clueless ...

I think the things he is experiancing is more than lag its as above mentioned upgrading can leave things slow and reseting clearing cache etc is recomended.
Turn phone off then hold down power volume up and the middle button till it goes into recovery also you could use quick boot from the market its free and it will boot into recovery if the 3 button mode doesnt work.
No it wont put you back to 2.1 but may wipe contacts apps etc but the plus is a clean start.
@Gadget Check: alright thanks I shall search it up ...
@Tragusman: ok ok, thanks alot ! shall search up quick boot from android mart ...

Hello everyone.
i had very weird situation yesterday.. i forgot my phone inside my car for few hours playing music, when i came back for him, his battery was dead and it was turned off.
when i charged him and turned him on, he started to vibrate for every app started and closing it automatically, including pro launcher and every possible common app, even the market.. all my data was erased, my phone numbers sms etc...
i tried to re boot the device by holding power, volume and home but it keep leading me to a yellow screen says "Downloading... don't turn off target"
I'm kinda newbie so be gentle =]
how do i get rid of this screen and flash new rom?
either after the reboot the market app disappear

i'm sure, i forgot it in my car.. when i realize i dont have the phone on me, i tryed to call it and it was turned off.. i came back to my car and fount it there as i left it..
soudns like you need to flash back to standard firmware with Odin.
the download screen is...well the download screen, holding those buttons does not reset the phone, it allows it to enter doanload mode.
try searching on here for a guid on how to flash standard firmware using odin. that sould sort it.

Have you not seen this all over the news ?? there is a crazed lunatic going around, stalking galaxy s users, waiting for his opportunity to sneakily wipe their phones without them knowing.. he is a man of mystery and is yet to be caught.....
YoU hAvE bEeN wArNeD !!!! BEWARE !!!
really
look i know there is those stickies but i have no clue where i should start and exactly i need to dd.. im reading those threads all day..
Kies is unable to update my firmware..
i disabled voodoo's lagfix through clockworkMod Recovery hoping that will work.
is that yellow screen says "downloading... do not turn off target" is normal?
why after i did reboot my Market disappear?
i lost in those stickies, anyone?

Try reflashing the rom.
yess !! For all newbes ====>>
after flashing your phone with CUstom rom or stock if you have problem reflash if CWM work or if dont work try with odine in download mode if doanload mode work is great for you past any Stock rom you wont [VER example 2.2,2.3 etc...etc] after this if all work fine and phone reset like factory you are free to past or not a custom rom is simple for all question about how to flash via CWM or odine searche in the XDA forum for [TUTORIAL] thanks and good luck !!! ^^
No no no guys.. don't bother with reflashing and stuff, that's not the problem.. I had the same problem and I googled it for months until I've learned its a Samsung wifi hardware related problem and mostly Galaxy devices are affected. Something is wrong when phone goes in standby. It continues to work but you can't wake it and you have to reinsert battery to get it on again.
The solution is to install a tiny app called Wake Lock, it's there on market.. it keeps phone awake even when you lock screen. My phone doesn't shut off anymore and I can finally rely on it. I don't have to think anymore and check all the time if the phone is off and if I'm going to miss a call...
The alternative is to turn off wifi before you lock screen but I think that most of us need wifi on all the time to get mails and messages on time
true, this is a samsung prob it gave me a hard time many months back.
but also make sure u've wiped data before flashing.
but seriously why is this in accessories?!
I flashed many ROMs and wiped data but my Mini was still shutting down.. the Wake Lock is the real fix, I had no shutdowns for months now
I have the same problem!
Me too have the same prob.. ny sgm also runs in rc5.4 shuts down itself

Thank you "jonpaslim" for your prompt reply.
Actually I didn't.
Because I'm worry about getting bricked by factory reset.
And also I'm not sure that I can do it the right way.

Im glad to help you. Thank you also.
this problem is called kernel wake lock.. you must downgrade to gb, do a full wipe then install a fresh ics via kies or odin, after booting up in ics go into your recovery mode holding volume up + home button + power key and clear your cache 4 time in a row this will solve your issue and maybe increase your battery life if you having any problem on ics related to battery backup

Take out the battery, and put it in. Press volume up the home button(hold them both) and then press the power button(now you should hold them all three, until you see that Galaxy S i9000 blabla)
You will get into recovery mode. To navigate use volume buttons. Go to factory reset, confrim by pressing the home button and let it work. when done reboot the phone(i think it will do that by it self)
Did that. Did it in the normal settings aswell it just keeps returning to the setting that my sister had

Get stock firmware from here and flash back to factory with Odin. You may even want to take this opportunity to upgrade firmware.
