I'm in Canada, on Bell. using the baseband version i9000UGJL2. Its not rooted or anything.
it started yesterday, but I can't connect to twitter, through apps, or even through the web browser. It will work if I have the phone on Wifi, but it won't work on 3G/HSPA. All other apps and websites work fine.
There's appearantly a new firmware out, but Kies won't let me update to it. I tried using the registry editor to force the update, but when the process starts, it stops and says its not available for my firmware version.
I had to use Kies (older version back around the new year) & the 1.7 reg editor to force update to froyo. Is there anything else I can do with what I've got? Or do I need to look into rooting it? I'm kind of new to all this, so any help would be appreciated. TIA
What new firmware ??
Most likely a Twitter/ your Twitter account /settings problem as its both an app and web problem .
Rooting will not help that's only gaining administrator rights over your phone .

Hey everyone, first post here.
I recently bought a NEW HTC Dream off eBay. After receiving it, i tested out with my sim card, and found out that it does indeed work with my network (3 Australia), and everything else functions as normal (google sync, sms, internet).
However, i know that the firmware is 1.1, and i want to upgrade it. After trying to "Check for updates" in the normal settings, an error occurs and force closes the settings, not allowing me to upgrade.
I checked the info, and this is what it is (see text file attached as i cannot post "links")
the phone IS "T Mobile" branded, yet it works with all of my settings in Australia, except for the upgrade.
I tried to download 1.5 various times, and tried to upgrade manually, but it will not work.
My question - what is going on, why can't i upgrade to the latest firmware ??
Thanks everyone in advance

please guys, need help !
How important is it to actually have Kies recognize your phone? I recently upgraded Kies to the latest version and now it doesnt recognize my phone at all. Instead of tinkering with this issue for hours, I'm wondering whether its even worth it?
Suppose 2.2 comes out, couldn't we just use Odin to flash the phone with the new firmware?
Also, looks like there's a workaround to getting the Kies firmware upgrade WITHOUT actually having Kies recognize your phone! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=758429
Thoughts?
you don't really need Kies at all
i only use it to check for official new ROM release, that's all
for everything else i sync with my gmail account and via AppBrain
Hi All,
I recently bought a i9000 galaxy s from Turkey, phone doesn't have the market app by default. I want to make the minimum changes to my phone so that I can access the android market. I looked through the previous posts but I am lost. Hopefully someone can point to the right direction.
Here is the version info:
pda i9000jvjh1
phone i9000jxjg2
csc i9000trcji1
Here is what I attempted so far:
- I can access recovery/download modes.
- Rooted the phone. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=739304)
- Running system/app/Vending.apk gives a parse error.
- Installed the market-enabler app
- Found a vending.apk on another website and copied it to the sd-card, I was able to install it but when I try to download an app it says: "The application Market (process com.android.vending) has stopped unexpectedly, please try again." Also when I look at the downloads tap of the market I see that things are stuck at "starting download..".
What should I do next? There is an update to Froyo available on Kies for my device, but I learnt that update doesn't have the market app either.
P.S.: I am on a Mac and have limited access to windows.
Thanks a lot.

Is this the correct section of the forum for this kind of question or should I repost somewhere else? Thanks.
Why dont you flash a whole new firmware, it comes included, you will also be stock and have no unnecessary modifications

I have been working on this issue for the past couple days but couldn't resolve it. It seems like flashing to a new firmware is the way to go. I wondering if flashing would void any warranties? Also how do I decide which firmware to use? I'd appreciate if someone could suggest a firmware. Thanks a lot.

Hey samsunghgt,
Have you found a solution for the market issue? Did you flash a new firmware? If so, whiich one did you flash ? And is it working well?
Hi
I have a Samsung Galaxy S and I want to back it up and update it to the latest version of software.
I have download Kies, but when I load it, the Firmware Information area says the following:
"This version of the devive cannot be updated"
"Current firmware version: PDA:JF3/PHONE:JF3/CSC:JE5 (ORA)"
I have tried Googling for an answer and tried Samsung's useless support area on their website but cannot find a solution.
Can anyone help? I seem to be able to backup my contacts, but not apps, or upgrade the software version.
I have various glitches and bugs when using my phone that I would hope this software would iron out. These include, phone not loading some apps, screen freezing, blank screen appears and only way to reset is to take battery out, loses connection to SD card so wont load gallery, wont allow an extra Google account to be added...
It seems to have some serious problems. Can anyone help?
Thanks

Thanks for this
Why would there not be an update of Android for the Galaxy S? There has been news about it being out so this doesnt make sense.
Thanks for the other link - looks far too complicated for me to start tinkering with this. Is there no other way for me to get an update?
Do you know anything about how to back up apps?
Wont a factory reset clear everything I have on the phone, so I will lose everything?
Thanks

I said and Kies says no update for your branded phone whoever you bought it from has not yet updated the firmware .
Pointless now as 2.3 due for release soon .

yes

I think Im unfortunate enough to have one of the first batch of Orange UK Galaxy S's which have issues with the Kies software and are, according to Orange "un-updateable".
Samsung are working on a fix but its a Kies issue apparently.
If I factory reset, I will lose everything. I have backed up contacts, I can sort images, videos ect easily, but how do I back up apps? There is no option for this in Kies?
Hi
i tried to download an app but that didnt work - i was able to download payed apps and update the apps. So i followed all the help and forum advices but still could not download free apps. I have now done a soft reset and it is still not working - it got worse to not installing any apps or updates. I used the Sony Update Service Tool and did a reinstall of the newest Firmware, still i cannot download any apps!
thanks for your support
Does it show any error message?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
no thats the thing, it shows nothing...it just displays the Blue bar and downloading. I now rerouted the phone to connect through the USA via my own VPN tunnel i have, and it works. So it must be something wrong with the Swiss or German Play Servers - or my settings registered at those servers.
I also noticed that even after a reset not everything is deleted on the phone. For example my phone still lists all visited access points under the wifi tab. I wiped it, flashed it, rooted it and it still has those settings there...so strange. Also the backup tool from sony is crap
