[Q] Software Update? - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So, I've been pretty much off the forums and updating my software for a good year now. I'm still on 2.2 JPP and using Doc's ROM. Has there been any improvement to the GPS since then? Or any other improvements that are upgrade worthy? My GPS is still taking at least 5 minutes to actually locate where I am..:/

My phones needs 10 seconds, them I can use the navigation without any problems. But I didn't have any problems with Froyo too.

2.3.2 good or bad?

what do you think about 2.3.2? it's better than 2.2.1 or wors? i mean perfomance and powersave
have you bothered to read any of the posts.. general consensus is that it is bad.. because it is not even a beta build but an alpha build with lots of issues.. recommend you wait for released version... not much benefit over 2.2.1 anyway.
Well as its beta at mo i say worse as kerrnel panic and lots of issues but im hoping finnished rom will be better

The only issue I had with the rom was the browser. Slow, FC a lot of times and general unresponsive at the best of times.
As above I hope that when the Official one (not beta) launches all this will be sorted. For the time being however I'll stick to using MIUI..!
Install the latest opera and ditch the stock browser. 2.3.2 has not once fc'd on me today with the latest browser.

I'd suggest waiting for the full version but you can't help being curious.

Stupid question, but hey, why not

Hi all,
Any logical reason why Froyo would be smoother, faster, etc, than gingerbread on my particular hero.
I have tried most if not all the variations. Fresh installs, etc.
Currently using AOSP Froyo.
Not a big deal, just curious that's all.

I think it has to do with the gingerbread builds not including as many graphics and general performance tweaks as the final froyo builds. I think devs are still working on overall stability first. Once it's stable I think we'll start seeing performance get better.
Aosp froyo probably ran the best on my phone to date. I'm currently using CM7 and am enjoying it, but have had a few minor issues; blank black screen coming up, though not lately, market issues and my battery life doesn't seem as good as it was on aosp froyo. Aside from that it really does run well. CM recently released CM7.02 which I put on my phone this morning. I haven't been using it long enough to notice any difference. My wife's phone still has aosp froyo on it and I may or may not update it to gingerbread.

Thanks, I was just wondering if many other people were seeing this.
Can't really see that GB has any significant advantage on the hardware limited hero. Although, it is fun to run something that was never ment to run on our phones.

[Q] Gingerbread 1-3 sec call answer delay!?

Hello all,
I have been trying several Gingerbread ROM's lately (JVK/JVB, both, stock and custom). All of them seem to have call answer delay. That means when I answer the call, other person can't hear me before 1-3 seconds. This is really annoying.
I have read a lot of GB ROM threads and it seems that its not reported much. How can it be? Making phonecalls should be essential when we are talking about phone.
Or maybe I have done something wrong or just tried wrong ROM-s?
Please post here with which ROM-s you don't have this issue!
Thank you !
I have stock jvb and the same problem. It is really annoying. Is it possible to use another phone.apk that wouldn't have this problem?
Looks like i'm not the only one ...

I confirm that I have the same problem with JVK.

It's most definitely a Gingerbread issue as other phones (on 2.3.3 and even 2.3.4 apparently) are affected.
It baffles me that Google would let such a bug unfixed for so long. In my opinion it's a very critical issue that needs to be resolved ASAP.
Custom ROM (DOC's) and same problem here...

Same problem.
Bloody annoying!
Also on custom Rom (Cold) and same ****.

Hamsterbread 1.1 -> same thing.
Try searching in market: call delay patch

On GoaTrip 1.7 & 1.8, also on stock, but even on Juwe 4.1 & 4.2 - exactly the same issue.
It clearly is a Gingerbread thing. Not sure it rests with Samsung, it could be from great Google itself.
Already tried "Call delay patch". Din't help much
I have the same problem on JVB, DebusROM. It lasts for 1 second and it's really annoying, damn it
Had this problem on every GB I tried. That is one of the reasons of my return to Froyo.
Doc's beta - same thing.

Same here (SGS with JVB)
Same here (SGS with JVB)
same here jvb stock
This is a reported and known bug in Gingerbread.
It is already under inspection by Google devs, so there is no need to say "same here". It won't change anything.

Rooted stock 2.3.3 extreme instability problems

About a month ago I was running cog5v2 but kept having problems with my phone not ringing and getting media, Android, and wssyncmlnps failures. I couldn't take it anymore so I went to I897UCKF1 and then rooted. That's it. Initially I didn't have any problems but after a week my phone freaked out and i'm back to where I started with the same failures.
maybe this will help but it looks like the reason my phone isn't ringing is because it can't access media inside my phone. If I try to select a ringtone the phone reboots.
Thanks so much for any help possible,
Kraig

Try kh3?
10 char
The kf1 build was pure crap, full of random reboots and charge bugs. The new ke3 is full of redemption. The devs here finally have something decent to work with, so give them shot.

I'm running KH3 and its very stable, much better than kf1.
I'll have to give one of the other builds a try.
hopefully I'll get to it tonight.
Thanks, Kraig

[Q] ICS - is it worth the upgrade?

Hi Guys,
I want some feedback regarding ICS update. Is it worth it? I am on Rogers (Canada). Any one experience ghost call/sms? How stable is it?
I would appreciate any feedback?
Thanks
A lot of users are having difficulty with the base band working. There's a thread about it in the optimus forums. My son uses mine to play angry birds. Wifi works well. I think someone mentioned problems with Bluetooth connections. As with most things your mileage may vary.

Mine runs ics great a little lag at times but pretty good working it all out though

From my experience MMS sucked, the camera was buggy, and there's a lot of Korean bits left in it. I think GB Prometheus ROM has it beat by a long shot to be honest. If you like working on Android you'll enjoy it cause you will be doing a lot of it.

It charges the phone a lot faster, battery's charge lasts longer than before while not using the phone.
Once you have flashed the baseband with the fastboot procedure (because once you have flashed the ICS rom you lose the GB download mode) and once you have deleted all the Korean T, Nate and SKT bloatware, it runs pretty great...HOWEVER!!!
You ARE NOT going to be able to adjust the brightness while watching 3d videos or movies while using the stock player...
You ARE NOT going to be able to use the 3D Converter as you used to with GB because IT DOES NOT TRANSFORM ANY GAMES TO 3D!!!
The CAMERA PROBLEM!!!
Some games are not running like they should (ocassional slowdowns not present while using GB) even if they are in 2D and you have most of the telephone's ram free.
Everything else appears to be working fine.
So far I've had great results with wifi, sms, and phone on straight talk in USA. Wish I could say for Rodgers. There is a thread here that discusses working basebands for the O3D and the Thrill. you should check it out.
