hey there fellas
(i'm sorry to post my problem here in the development section but i guess it might be related to the lag fix)
My SGS is acting weird lately , dunno if its related to the lag fix ( [UTIL] One Click Lag Fix 1.0 - 2.0 ) ever since i got the phone with normal use iv never seen anything funny like this. it all started with lag fix version 1 , the phone was fast and with that fix even faster , the phone was all good started with the root as step 1, then it was the market fix, after that i was tempted to try the lag fix which was amazingly effective, went from version 1 to version 2 of it and then it started.
the phone took long to respond 'sometimes' when the screen was off and after a day the phone simply didnt want to get out of standby ( black screen ) so used the boot mode and formatted the phone , once the phone started i formatted the internal sd and rebooted and applied the Root-market fix-lag fix ver 1.0 in that sequence, now the phone seems a little weird . by weird i mean strange things r happening like when i goto the apps menu the icons move by them selves in a random way after a reboot. I set it up to show apps in the first couple pages followed by games , now its all messed up and i didn't mind it at all.
with my internet provider i really have to keep an eye on my 3g usage, and have been using 3g watchdog to keep track. now i notice everytime i restart or switch off / on the phone, the counter goes back to 0 which really gets on my nerves.
now to track the problem would someone point me in the right direction ?
could it be the lag fix ? could it be the program itself ? should i switch to another ? would i need a fresh flash ? my phone is working on eclair 2.1 version I9000JXJF1 , using kies since day 1 there has been no firmware update for the U.A.E and i dont want to risk updating to anything unless its official from samsung.
any help is much appreciatted ^_^
it's interestingly weird case.
i'll start by suggesting to wipe the cache data, and data in recovery mode or
*2767*3855#
WARNING! FACTORY RESTORE, DATA WIPE AND RESET TO FACTORY STATE, as soon as you enter the last # use it only if you want to clean wipe your phone
i started with the first and then was like WTH and went with the second only to find out its the same procedure hehehe..... anyways phone is fresh now , started with rooting then off with lag fix 2.0 ( hope it dont get that same problem again ) . Now i notice there's no bootup logo when starting the SGS ( the swirling S ) but the sound still plays , is this normal ?

I had this exact same issue when I was using SetCPU. Uninstalled it and the problem was gone. Also some of the custom kernels are having wake-up lag.

Are you using LauncherPro? If so, this is common behavior and might also be so with other launchers. After booting up it will sequentially load your apps and that's why they will seem to popup in a random order bouncing about in the menu. After it's finished loading everything it will all be back to normal.

Seems to me that you had a problem with applying your lagfix and that the phone doesn't store your app-data properly.
My recommendation is to update to the JM5 firmware. It's the version that's been most tested with the lag fixes. I'm running JM5 with RyanZA's Lag Fix 2.0 and SamSet 1.9e (except kernel). It works like a charm and have done so for the past week. No wake-up lag, crashes or other weird behavior.
Hope this helps, and good luck

First boot will always take longer time and might also affect the sync between the sound and animation. It's normal!

thank you very much for your informative reply
let me start replying to what u just told me
#1
I had this exact same issue when I was using SetCPU. Uninstalled it and the problem was gone. Also some of the custom kernels are having wake-up lag.
i dont have SetCPU installed as i have tried it for a few days and found it useless , since i dont have the 1.2 ghz tune i dont see why i should even keep the app, yes i saw how the app messes with the phone so i removed it.
#2
Are you using LauncherPro? If so, this is common behavior and might also be so with other launchers. After booting up it will sequentially load your apps and that's why they will seem to popup in a random order bouncing about in the menu. After it's finished loading everything it will all be back to normal.
no im not using Launcher Pro and i could see how it would affect the arrangment of the programs but it wasn't that. My guess is it might probably be 1 of 2 , either titanium backup or Mybackup pro after restoring the data and not the apps.
#3
Seems to me that you had a problem with applying your lagfix and that the phone doesn't store your app-data properly.
im guessing a maybe here since i dont know how it would affect my 3g watchdog's app or make it reset the counter, i switched to Network monitor ( not as good as 3g watchdog but it does the same job ^_^ )

just like i said id love to go that way but can wait a month or 2 till froyo joins the fun.

i hope its just a sync problem , but the phone gave up on the animation , after a couple of tries yea the logo simply isn't there anymore just the sound but i did notice a little faster boot up time this way with only a small vibration to indicate the phone has started.
i'll redo everything again 1 step at a time 1 app at a time , i'll delete my backups as i could do it just this time to get a good fix after a clean boot , and i guess i'll just stick with version 1 as i didnt see anything wrong with it so no need to jump to version 2 of the lag fix
could anyone tell me what app will back up all my sms/mms/call log without any trouble ? does titanium do that coz i looked everywhere and couldn't find anything regarding that
Thanx to everyone for your help ^_^
now to find a fix for that gangster game after redoing everything
ok new discovery
using mybackup pro to backup all the sms's and mms's restarted after the restore and boom
what i see now is the old background from before the *2767*3855# method and the apps linked to homescreen from before , could it be the trouble maker ?
ok now im not gonna use it and test the whole procedure all over again
ok i guess thats it... even after a factory reset the logo wont show up again T_T
any tutorials on how to flash the original FW safely ? where could i find my original FW ? thing is i need arabic lang and doubt the JW5 has it built in anyways im off for now....... ~ spends the night googling~

Much appreciatted ^_^
last but not least
everything downloaded and ready for the flash

my file JPJG8 has got OJP_JG9 and the files in it are
zImage
param.lfs
modem.bin
factoryfs.rfs
dbdata.rfs
cache.rfs
where do i go from here ?
B U M P . . . . . . .
Anyone knows whats the deal with those files
I'm new to sgs and android,so hopefully this is a noob problem and easily fixed and not something more complex.I've searched and read alot of posts and not found another problem similar,so maybe someone can help.
Got the phone recently and flashed Darkys v7.0 and very impressed by the rom.
Basically my incoming calls dont show up,when an incoming call happens,i get a vibrate and some sort of notification flashes on the screen for an instant then disappears,then my network signal drops out.
I've tried another sim and different service provider,same problem which indicates some issue with phone,have triple checked all my settings in call settings,answering is enabled.
I can make calls,sent and recieve sms messages and connect to net/mail via my 3g,so cant figure out whats going on.Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Hi!
Unfortunately, same thing here with me. First, I flashed 7,5 and the problem appeared. This mornig I put new rom 7.6 but still problem remains. Everything works, but incoming calls dont. Im trying to capture message that flashes quickly, but with no sucess...
SOLVED!!!
Factory reset did the thing. Calls are incoming as they should. (setings->privacy->factory reset)
Hope it will work for you.

Hey i have tried this and have possibly bricked my phone as all im getting is the Galaxy power up screen and nothing else,tried to get into recovery and nothing,ah well my android fun maybe over,might just get an iphone,seems a bit simpler for a knuckledragger like me
I really doubt that factory reset coud brick phone. Try to boot in recovery/download mode with 3button combination (hope you have it) and flash new ROM.

try to flash speedmod recovery on your phone, do the most recent stable version, once you get into recovery you can see if it truly is bricked, if you get the common SD error then it is bricked but if it's complaining about some data missing your still in luck.
check out what to do here....i posted about this a while back also if you want to look at my past posts.....

I had exactly the same problem; installed Darkys 7.5 after which I couldn't receive any calls anymore, did a factory reset and got bricked. 3button to recovery didn't work on my phone, but luckily I live close to a Samsung service center where they reflashed my phone.
I am curious what was causing this. If it is solved I would like to try the rom again, cause it looked great.

Hey currently all im getting is the yellow triangle sign with the android logo cleaning up and it says ''Downloading'' and on the bottom it says ''Do not turn off target'' that just stays like that for hours and nothing
Now i never had the 3 way download button working or checked,i pretty much did CWM and flashed darkys right after buying the phone.
When i try to get into CWM all i get is the Samsung Galaxy S gt i9000 start up screen and nothing.
Thanks for your help
I have the same problem excecpt I flashed "leap in the dark". Will factory reset erase all my data? If so are there any other options
Its really pissing me off.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
i now decided to flash darkys 7.7
same problem
Now just had a little problem. I updated to Darky's 8.1 no wipe version. It updated fine but the first time it booted, it froze. Now it keeps doing a boot cycle over and over again. I see the i9000m screen but I do not get to the S logo screen or in this case the transformer screen because it reboots. Can you help me plz? Thanks.

try a re flash of another ROM preferably a stock ROM then start all over again, similar thing happened to me earlier, i am quite new to all this but i dont know if its the kernel or lagfix i had what caused this...
i re flashed back to froyo and then installed darkys ROM then re installed my kernel last.. all is good (for now)
worked for me first time but when i went to sgs tools to upgrade your apps ie gallery, camera, it said no busybox installed but went ahead and done fine in v8.0 and i see that cwm changed from red to green too went to market for busybox to download it but when it goes to install phone just reboots all the time mmmm...
Easiest way out of cycling boot:
pull battery
place it in
bring phone in download mode (not recovery!)
prepare Odin with a stock ROM
connect the phone to your PC and give it a kick thru Odin
When done feel free to switch again to Darkys (8.0) with wipe (you will loose data) and afterwards upgrade to 8.1.

YES !!! i agree, it is a pain.. but we love our phones and we would do anything for them its always best to flash back to standard FW if you ever get a problem...
I myself experienced this. Whenever I installed a new software, it would just boot. I got fed up because darky's forums are also down and there is no discussion. flashed doc's rom. Now everything is fine.
...mh... but it's not caused by Darkys ROM. This cycling boot feature may appear at all ROM, at all lag fix actions and so on. It depends how proper you interact with phone- and ROM-features while configuring. A lil disturbance during your session (by you or battery issue or whatelse) or a not so well prepared basic from where you start and your unlimited-feature-wishlist-and-paint-it-golden-one-click-action is enough to interrupt the whole thing and run into trouble.
It was and is all the same - since DOS or C64. And it will be the same, even when iPhone is on level 12.x or Android will be able to beam you elsewhere thru the barcode scanner.
It's a game. Nothing more. And game means lot of fun - and in the beginning a certain thrill when your phone stuck first time and you are thinking: "... f*ck... bricked..."
yup same for me
cycle boot thing
didnt enable download mode before that....
can get into debug screen thou but wiping it doesnt help
anyone with a suggestion on what i can try? warrenty = off so im screwed otherwise

Thanks guys for all the replies. Now I did try flashing a stock rom but with no results. Was still having the same thing happening to me. If you guys can give me the link to the files you used to solve this problem, that would be great. Also just for your information I have a Bell i9000m unlocked running on fido. And NO its not an sd card failure lol.
As for DarelSteilz85, I did make one of those JIG usb for myself. It easy, just get the micro usb and strip it bare to the point you can see the pins on the usb which usually are connected to the wires and get a resister to connect one pin to another. Now for which pins, I remember it was 4 and 5 that you had to connect through the resistor but double check as I am not sure. Also the resistor has to be a certain level which I forgot so double check that also. Good luck.

Try reflashing the rom.
yess !! For all newbes ====>>
after flashing your phone with CUstom rom or stock if you have problem reflash if CWM work or if dont work try with odine in download mode if doanload mode work is great for you past any Stock rom you wont [VER example 2.2,2.3 etc...etc] after this if all work fine and phone reset like factory you are free to past or not a custom rom is simple for all question about how to flash via CWM or odine searche in the XDA forum for [TUTORIAL] thanks and good luck !!! ^^
No no no guys.. don't bother with reflashing and stuff, that's not the problem.. I had the same problem and I googled it for months until I've learned its a Samsung wifi hardware related problem and mostly Galaxy devices are affected. Something is wrong when phone goes in standby. It continues to work but you can't wake it and you have to reinsert battery to get it on again.
The solution is to install a tiny app called Wake Lock, it's there on market.. it keeps phone awake even when you lock screen. My phone doesn't shut off anymore and I can finally rely on it. I don't have to think anymore and check all the time if the phone is off and if I'm going to miss a call...
The alternative is to turn off wifi before you lock screen but I think that most of us need wifi on all the time to get mails and messages on time
true, this is a samsung prob it gave me a hard time many months back.
but also make sure u've wiped data before flashing.
but seriously why is this in accessories?!
I flashed many ROMs and wiped data but my Mini was still shutting down.. the Wake Lock is the real fix, I had no shutdowns for months now
I have the same problem!
Me too have the same prob.. ny sgm also runs in rc5.4 shuts down itself

Alright so the short story of it ...i was on darky`s rom then decided to go on MIUI, after that i decided to install my apps and games and all that , after installing backstab game it give me a Force close and i deleted the game, after reboot i still got the FC (but i dont think that has anything to do with the problem) then my phone after boot when hes doing all the SD scanning and stuff got stuck in the SD card scan process i think and then freezes, at first i thought its bc of the MIUI rom and after several tryes whipes and allot of that i changed to a JVT stock rom (and installed root and cwm) but still after i start my phone, the screen freezes and doesnt do anything.. but when i press home button or back button they both light up or when someone calls me it works ..onlly thing is , nothing happens on my phone i cant even see if i`m getting a call or anything, i hope somebody can help me with this and sorry for my english and for the unecesary information ..i just tried to explaine everything that happend. Ty!
well i never realize the problem can be this simple and a memory card can do all this ....the problem was the card....all works fine now
I had a similar problem with the cell of a friend, after changing the external memory, no longer occurred
