Hello XDA community. about 2 weeks ago i bought a samsung galaxy S. the store i bought the mobile from had a weird version of the samsung galaxy S , it had an android logo on the back instead of the google one. after telling the "store" that am not gonna buy this version and i want the European version , they asked me to come in an hour and the european version of the galaxy s will be here, so i did what they asked for and i came by after an hour and i found that they got me the European version with google logo on the back. i was happy , i doubled check that it's made by samsung in Korea, and i found it right under the battery. here is what i found out when i went home and starting exploring
1-Arabic user manual with the mobile and on the back of the mobile package ( box )
2- no android market ( Slide me application manger instead of the market "SAM")
3-Defult language is arabic ( found that out after doing a factory reset )
Conclusion: they just replaced the back cover of my mobile and put a European one... lol !
i suspected they would do that anyways and i actually knew they would do that , but as long as the mobile is made by samsung in Korea, the quality should be equal to that of the European version , also i don't have any kind of lags, the mobile is fine. i live in Egypt
i would like someone to help me flash an european frimware , ROM ,
or install apps that are not included on this version of my mobile. i feel very horrible after feeling that i can't get any app directly from the market , i did searches for days on google and after fighting with search results i finally installed the market on my mobile but i have only one problem , whenever i click install i get ( starting download ) and it gets stuck forever , i can't cancel as i get a crash error ( android.vending.apk stoped responding, ) and i force close it
here is the list of STOCk apps that came with the mobile , i hope someone could compare it to their version and tell me what am i missing
1-Aldiko Ebook
2-allshare
3-daily briefin
4-Gmail
5-Layar
6-Maps 7-layar , 8-SAM3.4 , Samsung apps , social hub, google talk , thinkfree office, youtube, calender,navigation, calculator,clock,voice dailler, memo, email , FM radio, write and go , taskmanger, mini diary ,voice recorder,Musicplayer, video player , sim toolkit
these are the apps i got with the mobile ( stock ) phone specs are
Roaming: Not roamed
Model Number: GT-I9000
frimware version: 2.1Update-1
Basband version : I9000JXJG2
kernal version: I9000 2.6.29
Build number: ECLAIR.JPjG8
i hope someone could help me Pimp my mobile as it is very boring , and i will be using this mobile for YEARS and i want it to be the best. btw i don't think i have 3 Botton recover enabled.Pressing Vol. Up + home+ power seems to do nothing but keep showing the ( galaxy S I9000 ) logo and it boots normally as soon as i let go.
the reason of me not installing frimwares or rooting / installing froyo Or doing ANY thing related to boot , as being afraid of Bricking mobile as the mobile hasn't been released YET officially here. so samsung technical support wouldn't do anything if i brick my phone and i don't own a Rjfbox to reflash it after bricking. :S
Thanks to every one who put time in reading this threat. iam really looking forward for someone with experience to reply or guide me.
Thanks every one , waiting for responses
sry for double posting btw
It does not look like you are really missing anything there, application wise. Just Market missing?
In the telephone dialler typ in the following where HH is the hour and mm is the minute on the clock in the status bar
*#272*HHmm#
It should show a screen with a three letter code, and potentially a long list of other codes. I am not entirely familiar with the use of this but my phone came from Portugal and had no voice search by default. I changed TPH to XEU which is supposed to be general European and my phone suddenly had the voice input.
BE AWARE that if you change the code and say INSTALL it will WIPE YOUR PHONE with no questions asked. And I really do not know anything else about changing this code. Mine used to be TPH but that is long gone as an option now.
first thank for the reply
2nd . i don't have XEU , or any thing that looks europian lol, shows codes like
EGY , JED , KSA, MAT, MED , MID , MMC , MWD , PAK, THR , WAN , XSG , Xss
Egy , sounds like Egypt
Jed sounds like Jeddah
Ksa is Saudia arabia ,
Mat is i don't know so for the others lol , i wonder what these codes there for ?
i think i need a flash for this mobile ?
BTW i read on some blog that i should have the market back when i select XSG.
the thing is...... i have the market lol but it gets stuck on Starting download . i don't think if i do the XSG thing the market would work but i will give it a shot and post the results

Did you by any chance insert a us/canada sim on the device?

You should consider a lumia device for the full potential of windows phone ...
On proximus network lumia 620 for only one euro

Hi guys ,
I'm new to android and this forum . I was an apple user previously . Last year I gifted my mom with a Moto G2 , unlocked variant . It was working fine . She rang me before 3 days and said the phone misbehaves . It heats a lot and suddenly battery drops to zero , when I connect it to the port it reads "100%" . I factory resetted the mobile and it booted normally with usual battery info . Suddenly sim 1 (I had Vodafone ) went offline , while sim 2 (BSNL ) was alive and sound . So I swapped the sims so that BSNL was working fine in both the ports and Vodafone works fine in none . I thought it's a problem with sim so that the next day I stepped into the store and I purchased a new sim . Now the mobile has turned evil . It's not accepting the new sim too . I have tried with multiple carriers , but it's not accepting in either of the ports . But it works fine with BSNL alone . Can you guys help me to overcome this ? Because this was my first ever gift to my mom .
Note this too :
With BSNL sim , I went into to about>sim status I could able to see those readings
With other sims , It shows zero in all the port .

Go back to stock kitkat and then upgrade till lollipop. Insert sim , turn off the phone and leave it like that for couple hours..Turn it back on and you will see it detected sim.

You can try flash a modem according to your software version , might solve your issue.
