[Q] Are GPS and lag problems fixed by installing Froyo ?

Time to replace my old HTC Diamond isn't ? On paper, the Galaxy seems by far the best option. However, users complain about GPS, which is very important to me, and lag which is quite annoying.
Are those problems solved when installing Froyo ? I don't mind modifying the phone as I have been doing it for a couple years with the Diamond.
The next best option seems to be the Nexus 1. I really don't know what to do !
Comments ?

The GPS problem is not fixed (at least for me) in Froyo JPK. If GPS is a key feature for you I would advise to wait for official Froyo to see if the GPS is fixed, or, alternatively, buy a different Android phone.
The lag problem is not fixed either, however you can root the phone and install Voodoo or one-click lag fix and that does fix the lag.

I love my Galaxy S but if GPS is really important to you then it is not the phone for you.

for me neither of the lag fixes actually impact on the day to day use of the phone, it still lags.
Yes my quadrant scores are a hell of alot faster but in real life the homescreen with widgets open still stutters
I am in the same boat currently, im impatient, but luckily in the position that if when froyo arrives it solves the issues, i can always go and purchase another SGS
There are numerous users who have experianced hardly any lag and good GPS performance, i unfortunatley am not one of those people no matter what rom i use

as for lag, real lag fix eg voodoo makes it fine for me, but froyo currently does not fix lag. Maybe final.
With the Galaxy Tab Froyo released and open source code as well we might see better fixes.

GPS not fixed in JPK.

GPS is fixed with JPK.. it locks in less then 3sec. even got a look inside in about 5sec.. big improvement.

Problem is not the fix but the accuracy.

Keep in mind, everyone is testing with beta releases. The final release might change everything..

But realistically, we have no way of knowing for sure..

GPS works like a charm on jpk here, I've been to several addresses this week already!
Lag, .. what lag? oh the occasional 1 or two second waiting for an app to open that happen once or twice the week? Not a real turn-down though =/
And within the -4 weeks of abusing jpk i had maybe twice or trice that it was very sluggish, pretty much locking up or freezing up,.. while acting normal later on.
Happy about it, but it's missing the finishing touch i had in the original rom (certain options)
jpk+oclf

Thank you all for your interesting comments. Mike, your GPS tracks convinced me. I understand that not all SGS have the GPS problem but I don't want to take the chance and get a bad one. I ordered a N1, which is back-ordered for about 2 weeks - if a fix comes for the GPS before I receive the N1, I'll cancell the order to get a SGS.

[Q] video / audio out of sync

Has anyone else noticed that audio and video aren't in sync? Or is it just my phone?! Literally, in every video i play audio is a fraction of a second out of sync when compared to video. Tried with 720p, brrips 720p, dvdrips, and even ordinary hdtvrips, and it happens in every single one of them. Also happens when playing games. Is there a fix?

experiencing the same problem

Yes I have the same problem like you. They aren;t synced on froyo, but in eclair was everything ok. Any solutions?

So far, i haven't found a solution... It really sucks, can't watch anything.

Same with mine. All Video worked perfectly with Eclair. Now with Froyo almost every video I play the Audio goes out of sync. You can actually hear the audio is slowing down and the voices sound stretched.
Also found no sollution yet. Must be a bug with this release of the firmware.
Very frustrating!
BTW this is what I have:
Firmware Version: 2.2
Baseband Version: I9000XXJPP
Kernel Version: 2.6.32.9 ([email protected] #1)
Build Number: FROYO.XFJP7

Here is what I recorded with my phone:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qsRzM_w0SZ0
Low quality setting to verify that the hardware can cope with the video acceleration. Still this problem occurs.
this is s%$$%^

same problem. could any pros here plz enlighten us?? i loved watching movies on my sgs...now...sigh T_T

Having the same issue on my Samsung Galaxy 3 (Eclair: I5801DDJG6).
Tried various encoding tools but no success...
Still looking for a solution.

Still nothing? I have same problem on my Galaxy 3 i5800... There has to be a solution...

Anyone found a solution to this ?
Seriously planning to sell my brand new galaxy s now.
Its unbearable.

I have the same issue. At first I thought it was just avi files, but then I realized that it was a problem with all video, including youtube. Really wish there was a fix...

really interesting!
I just tried myself and there is a lag (out of sync).
it could be:
1) A codec issue (depending on wich rom???)
2) A sound treatment issue (maybe something like vodoo sound???)
3) Kernel?
4) Rom?
Let's investigate a bit more, would you mind to give full detail?
Mine:
Doc's Kitchen JS5 9.6.6 - speedmod K13C
2.2.1
I9000XXJPY
2.6.32.9 [email protected]

I don't believe the rom or kernel matters. I have this issue sine day one. And I've used many roms and kernels and I still have the delay.
Samsung engineers are stupid to say the least if they haven't noticed it themselves. And Samsung is stupid to release this phone with this bug.

To do a fix you need to get some informations to target the problem, the more data/background you give, the faster it'll probably be fixed.

Is this affecting all the camera software found from the market or just the stock camcorder?
This is really annoying. Last night I was filming a a live performance by a band and the music is noticeably out-of-sync. This was not the case with Eclair
Anyone asked if SuperCurio can help with this?

I asked supercutio about this but he didn't have time to think it over. He is busy with nexus kernel.
I didn't find any camcorder app in the market so I don't know if its a stock app issue.
I'm sure it's Froyo's fault and not a hardware issue but I doubt Samsung or Google will ever address this annoying bug.

I have the firmware related sync issue which was not present in Eclair. This makes.me really sad as I'm on my way to visit India and would love to take some HD videos there. Now I don't have the time to go back to Eclair to fix this issue so is there anything I can do after the trip to fix thesync? For example, if the sound is constantly lagging 200ms I could easily fix it but if the lag is varying in time I don't think there's much I can do. Anyone know better?

[Q] A2DP and Mobile Data problem with official ICS ROM

Hey guys! This is my first post on XDA, though I've been using it for quite a while.
I'm not exactly looking for answers/solutions, but rather sharing my problem and see if someone else is having them too.
I have a Latin American version of the I91000 (TTT). I recently upgraded to ICS using the official firmware from Samfirmware (UHLPE). At first everything looked great. The performance improvement was noticeable from the first bootup. Not only was it faster, but the intro video was far smoother and looked nicer. The general UI changes are very nice, and I did notice an improvement in battery life.
However, I've been experiencing a couple of glaring issues that really mared the experience enough to make me want to go back to Gingerbread, which I will probably do.
These are the problems:
1. The mobile data connection is very unstable. Sometimes it just doesn't load anything, and sometimes I lose the signal altogether. The 3G/H/H+ icon disappears and all. I never had this problem in GB during the 6 months I've had this phone.
2. The Bluetooth audio connection also has problems. It's now more unstable and susceptible to interference, and the lag is also much more noticeable now. It was about .5 seconds before, but now it's more than a full second.
But that's not the worst issue. The media remote control functions just stopped working altogether, namely, the |<< , >>| , >/|| buttons on my headset. I have a Nokia BH505 Bluetooth headset, and I didn't have any of these problems before either.
So that's it. I would like to know if someone else is experiencing one or both of these issues. I'll also check the Samfirmware forums to look for replies on the matter. Thank you for your feedback.

[Q][ICS 4.0.4 / MTD] AOKP for P1000/L/N - Camera App

Hello!
I have been using the ICS 4.0.4 [MTD] AOKP for P1000 ROM for sometime now and am on the latest build B#36 (as on 17/05). The Camera App with that build is not stable and does crash randomly. This is mentioned in the Bugs List. However, in the following post --
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25102133&postcount=876
I have installed the 'CameraUpdates.zip' and have not faced any issues with the Camera App after that. Further, the GUI is also different from the Camera App present in the B#36.
My question is why not update or include the Camera App listed in the link above with the next build of this ROM?
(Unfortunately, I cant post in the Dev Thread due to the number of posts.. Could someone look into this and pass it on to the Dev Thread -- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1523174)
Thanks.

Yes I mentioned that and Stimpz0r will fix it in the next build, it was included in the previous build. Thanks

Couple things:
I would've posted this in the dev thread, but, you know the rules about new accounts :/
Just one day since coming from build 35 to 37, have noticed significant power drain, still quantifying it, will keep my eye on it, but initially lost 30% over the course of 5 hours in idle mode, constant drain, 3g off, wifi off when screen not active, BT off, GPS off.
Also, the whole app rotation on home screen thing comes up when trying to move/delete/uninstall, even with allow 180° rotation turned on. After activating rotation, one has to restart before it takes affect.
More importantly, the main camera still acts up quite a bit for me. Quite a few fc's, which is to be expected, i guess. Strangely if i turn off the shutter sound in settings, it crashes, every time. Like, always and without fail. Panorama and video, front camera all working well, just the main camera. Tested with stock camera, instagram, vignette, and procapture, same effect, fc's with shutter sound off. I did a factory reset/wipe and went through settings systematically, so I'm reasonably sure this is the problem. Wonder if anyone else has encountered this, or has a work around. I hate that shutter noise.
Don't know if it's intentional but when i try to turn off menu button in top right corner through menu location in rom control settings, the button isn't removed, and the nav bar back/home/recents/menu buttons become larger and more spaced out instead. Not a problem, just weird. Resetting nav bar options and rebooting reverts it back to smaller keys again.
Finally i just want to give some recognition to devs like stimpz0r, humberos, cdesai, dizgustipated, alroger, chainfire, and sbrady, who seem to consistently add to and improve these builds tirelessly, as well as take the time to answer questions and field comments from noobs and more experienced members alike with a degree of patience and humour. And of course thanks to all the aokp and cyanogenmod mates, my sgt works so far better than when i bought it. The teamwork and support is amazing to see. It's impressive, what all of you guys have been able to do. I thought we were all well and truly screwed by Samsung, i couldn't believe it when they left all of us early adopters out in the cold, but you have really come through for all of us. This is a seriously nice piece of work.

By batt hasn't been great, but yesterday I downloaded Battery Calibrator by Damo Software and did calibration according to its instruction and seems to improve.
Shutter sound is a known bug, I thunk mentioned in the known bugs, did you read it?
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA

Now that you mention the camera thing, yeah. But I'm a johnny come lately to aokp. It takes a serious time investment to read through all the posts with the issues scattered throughout, it's easy to miss one. And while there is a lot of info in the op and changelog posts, particularly about mtd/non-mtd (which is great) these common problems seem to be under-addressed, so i thought to just gather them together here for someone to find. I know it must be a pain to update the changelog posts thoroughly after every new build.

Nova HD Rebuild Problems

HI guys. I flashed the latest Nova HD build last week, and up till now it has a few problems.
Speaker not working (the normal one not the in-call speaker)
I tried playing videos on youtube and games and even my music but it does not work at all, I checked and all the volume settings are full. I have tried many solutions like rebooting the phone, reflashing the rom, blowing the speakers. It's worth noting that the sound works on my headphones when they are plugged in. HELP?!
Glitch-y notification bar
Sometimes the notification bar toggles cannot be seen and the whole notification drop-down is blank. For this one I have no idea what is going on but when I open an app or something like that and then exit the notification bar comes back. This one is just irritating, nothing much though.
Battery life isn't as good as claimed but small issue, I lived through a short battery life on my Motorola Atrix before the screen got smashed after I unbootlocked it.
Thanks in advance!!

Also..
It's worth noting that it's not a hardware issue I believe as the speaker was working on the MIUI Rom I flashed on it when I got it as a gift and never touched it until recently, and the headphone icon in the notification bar does not show up when the headphones are plugged in, and I can't remember if this is supposed to happen.

In cwm made ​​three and flash ROM format. in aroma intaller not reformat and install the basic version (no custom). so try to find out if you have the same problem. What's important not to restore the system app with titanium backup.
Sorry for my English.

I'm sorry I didn't really get you. Are you suggesting that I flash a stock rom without backup and then switch back or flash a basic version of the rom without backup? Or flash cm9 stock without mods before switching back?

I dont have any bugs like you. Just try full wipe before flash the rom again.

Actually you need to format 2 cache and not the third (date format / factory) that will also clear the rom.In this condition do not lose anything of your information. From there, install zip from sd / sd choose zip and flash rom nova. In aroma installer asked you to select rom based (you choose the first three options) and install.
Inviato dal mio LG-P990

Sorry
Hi guys, sorry for the late reply, I've been busy at school lately. Well I've basically redownloaded the rom, completely wiped the phone, including the dalvik cache, installed the rom free of any tweaks, before reinstalling the desired rom, and both have no effect on the speaker. I'm really lost but I can't really be bothered to unroot my phone and send it in, and still have to pay for it.
p.s. I have another problem. Sometimes while scrolling, the scrolling isnt smooth esp. when trying to add widgets etc. or change the app operations. Like the words all blend together for a while like it's laggin before returning to normal. Is this normal?
Thanks for all your input!

Did you try to match RIL? Download getRIL (search in google play) and see if your RIL is matching. I'm new here, so I'm not sure if what I'm saying is correct, hehehe.
