hi ,
i have sgs from some months ago ,
before like 1 month ago , i update my phone from android 2.1 to 2.3
then i start have problem in my battry it is dont stay more than 12 hr ( if i dont use the phone ! )
i was think it maybe from my battry so i bought new one but same problem
i flash my phone back to 2.2 , but still have same problem for now
so what best thing i can do it for fix this problem ?
and im using offical rom from samsung not custom rom
hope i find answer , thx
I suggest you first to make a full wipe.
If you want to stay with original Samsung ROM that's the only way, or turn off wifi,data and google synch.
I think the best solution for you is to switch from stock Gingerbread to CM7 for example (just because ISC 4.0.3 is still in beta...)
Hope this help.
Cheers
Which Gingebread Version you had on your Phone? 2.3.3 has the Batterydrain Bug!
So maybe you had 2.3.3 on your phone. What Version you get with Kies now?
Actually, don't flash a custom rom (it'll void your warranty) and take to to samsung service, your phone may be faulty since that shouldn't happen.
yes i was using 2.3.3
but i went back to 2.2 now
but still have same problem
and idk what to do
Hi everybody.
I just bought my very first tablet- a GT p1000.
Now, in the past few days I've been watching vids about CM9, which I find extremely cool.
As I gather, it is nowhere near completed yet tho.
So, in the meantime, could you suggest some decent looking and 100% working rom for my tablet?
You gotta admit, this forum is not very search friendly.
I have official Froyo installed as of right now, which is not very nice.
Thanks in advance and sorry for bothering ya'll.
Cheers.
just go to the dev thread and see the most popular posts there.
I think Overcome 4.1 is most popular.
You can try Hyperdroid and Accudroid too. All are GB ROMs.
Hi, I'm a newbie as well. Flash mine with Overcome 4.1 and then Hyperdroid a few days later.
My suggestion as a newbie is to use overcome 4.1 if u don't want to use stock rom.
I use Hyperdroid coz using Overcome, I have wifi disconnecting on it's own same like when I use stock GB 2.3.3
PS: Should u choose to use Hyperdroid, mind u it's a very slim rom, many of the standard app is not installed by default. But you can always install the removed applications manually. Hyperdroid has a zip file containing all the standard removed applications.

Thanks both for the suggestions.
I checked both out already.
I also checked aestethic only personalisations via apps and themes and I have to say they're pretty nice too (might just do that while waiting for CM9 in a few weeks).
Is it true tho that official GB has wifi problems?
That's worrying, since I'll be using wifi most of the time.
Wifi issue is hit and miss.
Maybe it is wifi router dependant. Maybe 10%-20% has it.
I am fine using overcome 4.1 with 3 different wifi router.

wifi issue was 100% caused by belkin router.
If you do have belkin router, see this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1441040&highlight=wifi
If you have different router, there shouldn´t be problems with wifi

Thanks for the info.
I have Netgear both at home & workplace.
Not a pressing matter after all anyway as I found out:
I managed to get a 3gb/month with no overlimit charge (only slower speed) for 5 euros/month. That'd should be plenty.
Pretty nice.
Sorry again, but what is the maximum size micro sd I could use on the P1000?
Is it 32 or 64gb?
Thanks.

Hi
Here is a good starting point http://www.teamovercome.net/p1000/?page_id=21 and you dont need to change the CWM it works fine.
Cheers
thanks for the reply ..
I'm downloading all the neccesary files on the link above, still waiting for completing ..
the problem is I never flash this gtab before so it not containing any cwm recovery yet , so if flash with overcome would it gives cwm recover to my gtab ?
just notice few things on the link above ;
1. it contain gingerbread rom , my gtab already on gb , should I still do this ?
2. it have No_wipe & Wipe versions , which one should I use ?
is this just to get cwm recovery ?

Hi,
If you flash the gingerbread safe and the overcome kernel as descript in the how to you will get CWM.
Cheers

I can't say, read the threads and take your favorite rom and flash that one first and try others as well before you setup your Phone to use it everyday so you will know what is available and works for you.

Hello people!
I own a SGS I9000...ORANGE...BOUGHT IN SWITZERLAND...
I made the update to 2.2.1 Froyo when i was in switzerland on december 2011
Later..when i came in Albania (my country) i flashed via ODIN with 2.3.5 (about 1 year ago)... since that time i have checked via Kies for new firmware versions but ..nothing new. Now ..i want to ask you..Can i upgrade to a newer version of firmware...upper than 2.3.5 even if kies tells me that there are no new versions for my device???Because i've seen surfing on the net...people that use SGS 1..that have upgraded it to 4.2.1 Jelly Bean or 4.1.2 for example.
I repeat...its ORANGE
Thanks
AW: [q] need some advices
You can always upgrade, but 2.3.6 is the latest Samsung release. Everything about like 4.x.y are custom Roms that can be installed with custom recoveries like cwm or twrp.
Nearly every rom thread offers an introduction on how to do it or take the YouTube way.

It's safe, but Cyanogenmod has different build versions. The nightlies are untested version, compiled directly from the github source. The monthly release is sometimes a working daily use build.
Try it out, in the worst case you must flash back to an old rom like 2.3.6 with Odin, it's a nearly unbrickable device, just read or watch the guides carefully.

Hi All,
First i am a new comer for this community and new user for an android device .
I bought a new Samsung galaxy S Advance(GT-i9070). It came with Gingerbread. It was actually a phone with 768 RAM-I clearly verified this with the shop when I bought it. Last day I upgraded my phone to Jell bean with official Russian firmware (XXLPZ) and reset to factory default settings.
But now i am getting following issues on my phone.
It seems my devices is very slow and Stucks.Specially contacts,Media player,Messages. Also full RAM Capacity seems 521 MB at Application manager. All applications are now consuming memory from total 521 MB memory.Where is remaining memory? How can I obtain the remaining memory to speed my phone?
Mobile-networks---->Access point does not show any settings to setup APN to mobile network.
Some people on web says to root the phone , install ROM manager will solve these kind of problems. But i have called to shop and verified that rooting will void warranty.If i rooting is the solution ,Is there any possibilities to back it to Unroot when i need my warranty?
I saw there is a custom ROM also available to Jellybean 4.2.Is it possible to restore stock ROM later if i upgrade to Custom ROM?
What is /are ultimate solution/solutions all of my above problems.I hope all friends from this forum will guide me to sort this out
Thanks in advance

1. Root + install custom kernel. It will fly. :laugh:
2. Never had need to look for access point setting.
3. On JB you will not increase binary counter with rooting, like on GB. You can remove all evidence by flashing JB over again. "SU" file that provide root will be wiped.
4. Yes, you can use custom ROM, and then go back to stock by flashing stock firmware with Odin.

I guess you do not realize that Samsung has launched three versions.
LPY 7th January 2013: A very bad rom.
LPZ 21st January 2013: A bad rom.
LQ4 7th February 2013: Very good version. Stable and perfectly functional for everyday use.
Consider LPY and LPZ as a big mistake. Should never have been released.

Yeah, only thing to check is that you didn't increased binary counter before. GB have method to root that increase it. But you can reset it now, there is Shaaans method in developer section of our phone forum.

It is not location related, you will get updates from country that your phone firmware is. So if you use Russian, the you will get update when it come for that country.

Yeah. Just when you want to go back do not just use your firmwear, first flash things from guide how to downgrade. You have it on general forum I think. And rooting JB do not increase binary, like it was early on GB untill that other method.

That is the case if yoh do not use custom kernel with custom recovery. If you do, do not do that. You will soft brick. And you will have to flash firmware with Odin anyway.

Yes, Root + install some custom kernel.
Hi above solutions are worked for me.But it still seems the phone is slow for me comparing with original gingerbread.May be it is because i got bad experience at first release of jellybean russian version. It is difficult to change first impression So i downgraded to original gingerbread.Ginger bread is very stable and running on more than 50% of devices in world.so i decited to use gingerbread for 6 month untill jellybean become stable

Hi Guys,
I am a Galaxy S user. My Galaxy S was bought in Finland and still running (basically stuck with) Ginerbread 2.3.6 (I9000xxJVU). The phone's hardware is just fine (except slow GPS) but it has become paninfully slow and sometime shutting down/restarting on it's own.
Is it a good idea to reset the existing GingerBread 2.3.6 or get a different ROM?
I am a total novice and have not tried any other ROMs on it. I did some research about the alternative ROMs but there are so many options it made me really confused.
Could you guys suggest any stable and fast option for my Galaxy S i9000?
Also, if you could guide how I could migrate to that particular ROM from present Gingerbread, it would be really helpful.
Thanks in advance for your support and for this great forum.
Cheers

No reply?!
Could anyone please help?
Hi,I'm not going to be much help as I'm a noob myself but I can say I had same stock laggy gt 19000 which through like u said a lot of confusion about rooting and ROMs researching XDA and YouTube you can do it my galaxy s is like a new phone so stick with it,one tip is always stick to you model and kernel version and write things down and I hope it goes as well as it did for me. Btw I used Odin 3.1 and clockwork to root and Flashed ROM with Cm 10.1 stable.

if you want to stay to 2.3.6 you can just factory reset your phone
Try this
Shut your Android Galaxy S down (Power off) or remove Battery.
Now press Volume up, Home and Power together.
If the Samsung Symbol is coming up leave the Home Button.
Then there is a boot Menu
Volume Up and Down to Navigate , Home to select the chosen option. ( factory reset )
---------------
if you want to upgrade to ICS or JB rom
root your firmware , choose the right cf-root from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108
download ICS rom ( i suggest this one )
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1687727
install it via recovery
if you want to upgrade to JB
go to development section , chose any custom rom you want
and install via recovery

Thank you mistrp74 and The Tox for the help.
I am still a bit confused, I cant seem to locate the right cf-root [Ginerbread 2.3.6 (I9000xxJVU)] from the thread you mentioned.
One more thing, how is your experience of running the Custom Roms, is it much better than the Samsung Firmware? Does all the function work fine?
I will need a bit of spoon feeding in the beginning for the update... as I have never tried it before and I am scared of bricking my phone.
So, please don't give up on me

The right CF-Root is in the seond to last post on the first page I believe- if you can fnd the one for XXJW4, the one you need is right above it
Custom ICS/JB roms are definitely smoother in many ways, although bear in mind because stock Jelly Bean don't include them, both FM Radio and 3G video calling won't work by default (two features of stock roms, I guess AllShare is another if you use it like me). Otherwise every other function is stable and rock solid. Except for the CM10.2 builds, which are still in an initial stage, the JB roms here should have everything working fine.

Thanks a lot guys!
I finally managed to do it.
I installed the CF-Root without any problem but RemICS-UX v1.3.1 (Team Remics) didn't load. It was stuck at the boot screen.
I thought I bricked my phone... but then I installed Ginerbread 2.3.6 (I9000xxJVU) using Odin and then installed plain vanilla ICS 4.0.3
Coming from Ginerbread 2.3.6 I find a lot of new things and the phone is also snappy and responsive... my old Galaxy S is acting almost like a new phone! So I am really happy.
Now that I am familiar with the process I am confident to tryout other ROMs...
I would like something simple, lightweight and fully-functional/bug-free.
So please let me know if there is any other better ROM I should try.
Thanks again guys!

Just one more question, what's your backup strategy that you guys use?
Or else it a lot of work to update each and every app... one by one... also what about the SMS, call log etc?

Because I'm a person who 1.) doesn't use too many apps and 2.) tries to be as economical as possible, I don't have a large amount to backup. My contacts and calendar are always through Google, and for SMS I use SMS Backup and Restore on Play Store. Call log I don't keep, because I'm not a person who really cares for call logs. I only have one other app, Colornote, and that's cloud-synced as well.
Everything else I need is in internal storage :3

More or less similar situation as TS
Hey guys,
Im in a more or less similar situation as the topic starter. My Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000 has gotten slow and unresponsive with time.
I would like to update to a custom ROM, and got a little curious about the Slim Bean. But I feel a little unsure about how to proceed.
I'm currently running a custom Gingerbread 2.3.3 ROM, my device is rooted. I flashed this ROM from the Froyo that came with the phone about 2 years ago. It's been so long since I flashed this, I need some directions, as Im afraid I will brick my device.
When I go to recovery mode I see it runs ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.1.3 - Voodoo lagfix.
Can I just put a Slim Bean 4.2 android version on my internal sd card and run "install zip from sdcard" in ClockwordMod? I would prefer to flash the latest stable version of Slim Bean, which would that be 4.2.2.build7-OFFICIAL?'
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Bootism
Best way to update from gb or even older to jb is imo the way over cyanogenmod.
Follow this tutorial for 10.1: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_galaxysmtd
And then you can upgrade via cwm to the very good slim bean.

Thanks for the answer!
I recall reading about lots of issues with the lagfix and flashing ROMs. My file storage system is in ext4 instead of standard rfs, I think I should somehow undo this if I recall correct. Is this true?
Do you have an option to unlagfix in recovery?
Sent from my GT-P3110 using xda app-developers app
Yeah, I can choose "voodoo lagfix" in recovery.
It has the following options:
- disable lagfix
- enable lagfix (default)
- /system lagfix on (default)
- /system lagfix off
- debug off (default)
- debug on
Enter disable lagfix and reboot

Ok, so I got Cyanogenmod 10.1.0 running! so far so good
Good job. Now you can flash a zip in cwm.

Yeah, it's a whole new world opening up. Old phone runs relatively smooth, at least way better than before thanks for helping. I will stay on this Cyanogenmod for a bit and explore. Can I just flash in any of the ROMs as .zip in CWM later? I will look for a lightweight ROM for my old phone, any suggestions?
