HI GUYS, please do not burn me if this has been asked before but i have recently just moved from htc desire for 12 months to a galaxy s 1900.
i bought a new galaxy s with froyo 2.2.1 on-board but was crashing badly from loading apps.
basically looking a good samsung stock rom either froyo or gingerbread that will work fine on 3uk network
i hope to keep it stock for a month or 2 then flash a custom rom when the device has bedded in.
whats ur stock rom of choice for a 3uk user, so many just want forum users thoughts
http://www.samfirmware.com stock galaxy s firmwares
I flashed the XXJPY firmware from samfirmware and also added the speedmod kernel for added snappiness. That one worked brilliantly for me, but I have since.moved on to miui and am loving it.
I'm also a 3uk customer, and I have no problems accessing any of their services.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

I recently updated my SGS to android 2.3.3 from samsung service centre. i know nothing about its program control n all. call m a noob.....so heres my problem..

plz help me out with all d steps..... coz i dont know anything regarding this..... n i want my battery to last longer. plz plz plz help...... it goes down within 4 to 5 hours.
Maybe try to flash with ODIN one 2.3.4 ? I get no battery drain with this one
Hi guys,
I met the same problem on my GT-I9000, please see the attach configuration:
GT-I9000
Firmware version: 2.2.3
Basedband version: I9000XXJVK
Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-I9000XXJVK-CL75655
[email protected]#2
Build number: lidroid-sgs-2.3.4
I charged the cellphone in the evening and played for a while, the battery was left 60% and I fell asleep and turned the cellphone into a flight mode.
4 o'clock in the morning, i was woke up by the low battery notification, only 10% left, what is going on?
Thats a known bug! try to flash 2.3.4!
Try Juice defender
My Galaxy S, after having installed 2.3.3, had the same battery problem.
Waiting for 2.3.4 (expected 3. Q 2011) I installed Juice defender 3.5.6 (free version) and now I have a big improvement in battery capacity !
After switching to "fly modus" in the night I have in the morning the same charge as one day before.
Please try and let me know
Thanx franco, but i tried that too, n i cant keep my fone in flight mode at night, coz i get calls all d tym...... If u can , plz tell me abt wat CMW/CMV is? i hav no idea abt it, n dont even know how to get it. reply apprreciated.

Thanx for ur advice, but i dont know how to do dat. i mean how do i "flash"(wats flash?) odin into it.hod do i get odin n 2.3.4?
This will help
I too had this problem after upgrading to GB...
After searching thoroughly on internet i found that it is a bug in 2.3.3
The solution(temporary) to this problem is that after playing games on ur Galaxy S just turn off and turn on ur device(reboot)..
And do this before sleeping at night.. this will bring back normal usage of ur battery( which is actually better in Gingerbread).
If u don't know much about flashing(like me) just stick to this method till samsung gives an official update. ( i read 2.3.4 is going to be released in this quarter).
hope this solves ur problem(it surely has solved mine)!!!
I also experienced same problem in 2.3.3. Solved now after flashing Ficeto's Jvp rom. you can search for the rom by googling Ficeto's Jvp or darky rom website. Detailed and simple procedure for flashing is also described there.
one thing more i forgot to mention, always flash/ update with 100% battery to avoid battery calibration issue.
Battery draining depend in the kernel too, try semaphore or galaxian then uv it you will be happy with your battery.

I have a 0622 baseband and my phone is from Korea, but i live in Brazil, and i'd like to know if i need to change the baseband because im having some issues with my phone network, like sometimes the phone loses the signal and then it nevers come back and when i go to settings/wireless&networks/mobile/set network
it still lists the operators signal.
And if wanted a factory reset for my phone, how should i do it? Is there anyway to check the original baseband of my phone?
I'm using CM 7.2 with the latest etana kernel.
You can simply install the lastest brazilian LG's FW with its baseband using Smartflash or KDZ You can download all you need in the development section

there are a few things to check before you do anything/flashing:
1) try to check a suitable RIL...use GetRIL app or LG RIL Version app from the play store
2)I remember seeing something about the auto time selection in Temasek's Kang thread...try disabling the automatic time sync.maybe that is a solution.
3)tr changing to Temasek's Kang which is surely one among the best ROMs for O2X. HE ROCKS with his tweaks and cherry picks.
4)try using SU-660 Basebands....some of the devices dont respond well with normal BB.check tonyp's thread for a suitable BB and RIL combo.
going through a NVflash or kdz methods might be reserved for the last.
This is my opinion. but, take ur decision mate
Hope this helps

There is no BB/RIL combination at the moment that works with build version #5. All BBs show the same pincode error. Use build #4, that's working really well. Or have a look at a different ROM like Owain's.

Hi guys!I read this forum for a very long time but I really,really can't find exactly what I need.
So I got my first Android phone and it's Samsung Galaxy S-i9000.Now I really know more about android phones and RAM and CPU for Android phones.However,now I think the better choise is Galaxy S 2 because of 1 GB RAM,it's faster and it has flash for camera(But I don't really need flash ).
The problem is RAM and I really like games like Subway Surfers,Temple Run,Ski Challenge,Real Racing.
I own Samsung Galaxy S GT-i9000 2 months and when i bought phone,firmware was Gingerbread 2.3.3.It was smooth and fast,but I had a battery drain problem.After charging and playing games,Android OS was draining my battery,so I had to reboot my phone after every charging and playing game.I searched a solution and i found that draining battery is bug of firmware 2.3.3.So I updated it via Kies to 2.3.4 XXJVQ and draining was still there but less than with 2.3.3.I didn't know what to do,so I searched forums and found that I should update to original Gingerbread 2.3.6 JVU.I bricked my phone,because Odin stuck at setup connection.There was just image of phone-!-computer when I booted.I was able to go to download mode and I immediately took my phone to repair service.Repairman installed to me 2.3.6 JVU and it is bit slower,slower for some games.I am sad.I don't know what to do.It is only 320 MB available.
-What should I do?
-I think I should take my phone to repairman and say him to install new firmware but I don't know which firmware.Can you tell me please?I want fast firmware without bugs and battery drain and I really want to play games like Subway Surfers and Temple run without lags like I used to play wit Gingerbread 2.3.3 and 2.3.4.
-Is there simple solution to change firmware?
-Why did I bricked phone last time when I tryed to update it.Is it because I maybe don't have USB 2.0 port.
Please reply.
P.S. I don't really like Custom ROMS because I think they are slow and unsafe.
Sorry for bad English

You should better use USB 2.0 to update the firmware, Samsung USB driver must be installed and Kies process killed by the Task Manager (it loves to work in the background and can block flashing via Odin)
BTW, if you have used incompatible Odin version for your i9000 that also could be a reason for soft brick.
I fail to understand your point, as custom ROMs are actually faster and less laggy (especially when BigMem enabled: 407MB of RAM)
But for gaming is probably recent GB firmware a better choice. So all after JVT are fine, maybe JW7 would be best for you, it was released for Portugal and you can download it from sammobile.com
If not sure about something, check my i9000 guide

I am sure that I closed all Kies proccesses,and I used Odin 1.85 which is compatible with my phone,so I think the problem is USB port.That computer was old.Do you think it is because of old computer?
Wait,it is based on Android 4.x and my phone has to be rooted.I realy don't want to root my phone,and this Gingerbread JVU 2.3.6 (currently on my phone) is value pack too and it is slow.Very less RAM available.Is it about Kernel maybe.My kernel is [email protected] #2. Can I change and how?My phone is not rooted.Thanks!

I don't understand why wouldn't you root the phone....
Root would give you so much more options. Stock ROMs are full of bloatware that slowes the phone incredibly down.
With root access to your firmware you could uninstall all useless Samsung apps and it would boost the speed of your i9000.
Flashing a Semaphore_2.5.0bm.tar kernel would grant you full root access, CWM recovery and you could enable 409MB of memory on your phone, what isn't imaginable now (on costs of 720p video playback that wouldn't be possible anymore)

Because I want to took phone to service and tell them to install me new rom,beacuse I'm scared after first brick.And I think they won't root my phone and install custom roms.That's the reason I want Official Stock Firmware for GT-i9000 which is fast for games.I just want to tell them which firmware I want.And I am so confused about kernels.I don't even know should my phone be rooted to change kernel...
So,please if you know some fast Official Stock Firmware without bugs and lag,tell me. :highfive:

OK, I understand.
So, the latest one is JW9, not many people know it as it came very late and only for very few countries. But I remember people were saying it was awsome. Try Portugal one and if CSC works in your country stick with it (screenshot attached)
If no, this one will ceirtanly work (as it has multi-CSC) is this JW4 release:
Code:
United Kingdom / Ireland: 2012 April GB 2.3.6 I9000XXJW4 csc: I9000OXAJW5
I know that one, quite smooth, not very fast (compared to JB or KK roms) but stable and with excellent battery life. Best you can do is to download both, check that the zips aren't corrupted (download error) and give them both into your service and tell the guys to try first if JW9 works in your country. It should, actually.
Good luck and let know later if you like them

Allright,I think I'm will download just JW4.I googled,but there are many opinions.
Have you tried it yet?Tell me is it fast for games.That's most importan to me.
Also,people say it has 364 MB avaiable,BUT i'm little suspicious.Some peole say that 200-220 MB RAM is already unavailable when you turn on your phone.Is that true?I'm sorry if I'm boring but I really want to know all these answers before I took my phone to service.
THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR HELP.

BTW, you know, I got so curious about the JW9 as I really didn't know it and I've just flashed JW9 today and: I must say I am bit shocked how good it is! It is far the best gingerbread I ever tried, incredibly fast and smooth., much better than the CM7.x (2.3.7)!!

No problem mate
Yes, it is all together 364 available as part of 500MB is fixed (reserved) for some system functions.... actually, with only 500MB capacity, the RAM of the i9000 is already around 60% full / used before you start any app or game.
Go for JW9, it is amazing! It is obviously better, faster and smoother than the JW4.
It will be no problem about signal I think, basebands in Europa are so similar.
I just showed it my wife and she wants that I install it for her instead of the CM11...... she prefers GB's layout and design..... Oh, yes: it just flies with SpeedMod kernel k-17-3.... but it is also very fast with its stock kernel

I changed my mind.Then,I will probably tell them to install JW9.I don't care does it include my language,but I just need english language.Is english avaiable in JW9.After 1-2 days using tell me,please,is that good firmware.I just wanna know some basics:
-Is battery good? (I gotta admit that battery on 2.3.6 JVU (now on my phone) is very good,no Android OS bugs,but performance is bad)
-How much RAM is avaiable and how much is unaviable when you turn on phone?
-Is Temple Run lag?
-Is that Value Pack? (I hate to lose RAM on that kind of firmware,I don't even like new features,I really don't care )
If I finally make my phone stable and fast,you're the best!

LOL, it is not about language pack, but Baseband / Radio- frequences for mobile networks that can vary in different regions of the world
Comparation: I know JVU well from before, IMHO, the JW9 is better in all terms. Faster, smoother, great.
It also looks much nicer, I've attached you few screenshots, I only couldn't make it fast enough to open the drawer before screen was printed (releasing of back+home button makes a shot, but also exits from laucher drawer)... it is my cat as wallpaper
My wife has liked so much the JW9 that she asked me to de-install her CM11 and flash JW9 on her i9000 today!
By no apps running, I had 42% RAM free, what is very good for the i9000
But you will also need some day root access, if nothing else just to uninstall Samsung's bloat apps that you'll never need and they slow your phone down. With root apps, one can hibernate many processes and

How much MB is avaiable.On jvu is 320,and on JW9?

Don't worry about baseband. It will work with your country's network. The guys in service will take care of it.
I will check later about RAM, but it will probably be about the same like with JVU.
I know you need more memory, that is why I suggested you to flash a custom kernel, Semaphore enables up to 384,5 MB on stock GB roms and up to 409 MB with KK roms.

Hi,
I've checked the firmware for Portugal from sammobile.com and it is totally bloated with stuff for some portugese provider.
Here you have a clean- non-branded XWJW9 firmware for your i9000, best Gingerbread I ever tried:
I9000XWJW9_I9000OXAJW4_I9000XWJW1 download link
It has open Europe-CSC so it will ceirtanly work also in your country. If your language keyboard is missing, just install free app MultiLingual Keyboard
So, good luck and lots of fun- happy New Year with your new i9000

Can I flash either the Portugese or German XWJW9 firmware on my SGS? The one I'm currently on right now is the XXJW4 UK/IRELAND with multi-csc. Wifi signal is weak but when the phone is right beside the router, the wifi signal fluctuates.
I'm in the Philippines by the way. I'm a bit worried that the baseband and CSC for the XWJW9 won't work in my country.
Thanks.

Yes, JW9 will work. If the baseband isn't working, you can replace the modem later with any root file browser. Sometimes changing the region in the Wi-Fi settings can really help. You should try. Maybe no need for JW9.
