Hey guys in my earlier thread some ppl told me that i could update from asian firmware to european firmware. I would like to knw if there would be any problems by doing that, and would like to know ur experiece after flashing.. Thanx for ur replies. I don mind waiting an extra month for asian firmware release if u feel flashing can be problematic, if not i'll b happy to flash.
Ps: I knw a thread like this is available but there are no conclusive answers there. Thanx.
I like to know too. I hope no issue here other than losing the Asian keyboards. I assume one could still get a third party keyboard for say, chinese characters input.
Ya i recieved a reply in hardware zone forum, ppl have upgraded their firmwares from dd or dx to xx, xw (european). No problems were found, infact performance increased a little bit. One of the guys told me not to update cause firmwares released in europe tend to be buggy like beta versions, only final versions are released in asia and other places thats why updates are few. So if i were u i'd wait for firmware to release in my region.. Wat's u take on this? Do u still wanna flash ur phone or do u wanna wait a month extra......
I personally haven't had any issues with the euro fw to speak of. Like doomsdaycs mentioned I definitely experienced performance increase and even more once i installed the modaco rom. I ran the latest JG3 for a few days and it was great then i wanted the modaco rom so I reflashed with JG1 and it's still had no problems. Hope that helps...

That's utter rubbish.
Went from APAC to Euro firmwares, and never looked back.
Let me ask you guys who have gone over to the European firmware a few questions:
1) Has it fixed the 3G/wifi connection problem? (I hope you do not dispute that there is problem )
2) Has the lags/pause gone away? Or just minimized?
3) Has your GPS started to work accurately yet?
4) Does your email still takes ages to load? Or just become less slow?
5) Does the music playing still pause/freeze once in a while?
6) Anyone still able to install stuffs like Chinese keyboards from the Android market place after adopting the Europe firmware?
7) Do you have problem with the market place like what these people say?

Thanks for sharing.
Let me ask you guys who have gone over to the European firmware a few questions:
1) Has it fixed the 3G/wifi connection problem? (I hope you do not dispute that there is problem )
Answer: You need to create a new APN in order to use the 3G network. As for WIFI.. I am able to connect to any WIFI as long as I have the password.
2) Has the lags/pause gone away? Or just minimized?
Answer: Kinda but you will still experience it even with the JG5 firmware.. rumor has it that samsung will release an official fix for this on the end of july but there is no official word from samsung.. all we can do is cross our fingers and hope or best alternative.. use modaco's fix.
3) Has your GPS started to work accurately yet?
Answer: Yup, compared to the stock firmware, it is able to identify my location within a 5 meter radius.
** upgrade to the latest google maps version.
4) Does your email still takes ages to load? Or just become less slow?
Answer: Google.. first time setup.. yes. But now, depending on your location and signal strength.. takes about 8 - 15 seconds.. longer with 2 bars on my phone.. about 30 seconds or so. [GMAIL]
5) Does the music playing still pause/freeze once in a while?
Answer: When I am playing Let's Golf with very low volume then listening to music using the default player at level 6 - 7 volume. I do experience it sometime..
6) Anyone still able to install stuffs like Chinese keyboards from the Android market place after adopting the Europe firmware?
Answer: I am able to install Google Pinyin.. the qwerty keyboard still shows ABC but when you press each letter.. it will show the chinese character equivalent.
7) Do you have problem with the market place like what these people say?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7232231#post7232231
Answer: Weird case, never experienced that issue on my SGS after doing 3 firmware upgrades.
And no, I haven't rooted my phone yet.. hoping to hear from samsung by the month's end to know if they finally release a firmware fix for the memory transfer issue [NAND].

I second that.
The ASIAN version to be honest.. is full of crap from the TELCO's which renders the phone perform slower.. and I'd like to add that, my phone starts and loads faster now without the singtel crap.
Thank you M3keni. I'm glad it looks so positive.

You are welcome bro.
Disclaimer though.. other users may have a different take on my experience with my SGS.. hehehe.
..seriously, samsung should fix the NAND issue with an update firmware soon.
..but we have hardworking developers to go to for MODS.. iLike!
Before you decide and buy the SGS, visit your nearest telco showroom to try and feel the phone. Will help in your decision.
Have a good weekend!
Thanx for the info i'll be flashing madoco rom too.. cheers..
I'm waiting for the Froyo that's supposedly 3 times faster than iPhone 3GS. As it is now, it is a lot slower than even iPhone 3G. The black screen and long pauses is beginning to get to me.
I'm hesitant to root now as I'm uncertain about the hardware aspect of GPS, and my fear that the process might not be fully reversible, hence voiding the warranty potentially.
i have a question that how to upgrade the firmware from Asian to EUR use kies without root??????
i want to change that but have no idea, thx
yes please, even I need to know how to flash my Singtel FW to the eu version like the friends above mentioned. Mainly I want to do this without rooting...!!
And once after upgrading, will it allow me to upgrade to froyo when it is officially released!!! via Kies or OTA.

Can you suggest the fw number of the official euro firmware that you are using now so I can install as well.
No problem at all dude.
Flashed from DDJF3 to XWJG1 (Indian to some European country)... JF3 had major issues... JG1 is good... not great though. Most of the problems of the stock firmware were resolved by Modaco's Custom ROM... try it out!
You guys should give the new firmware JM1 or JM2 a twirl. The difference is night and day...no joke..and that's before root and any modifications.
@netboyhk I initially used this as my starting point http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PpWcM44On88
Note that in the video he says it HAS to be on a specific com port....ignore that part. It's all relative to how many usb ports u have and how many devices plugged in etc etc. From my experiences it's REALLY hard to brick this phone but your mileage may vary
I think you mean JM1 and JM2 - unless Samsung's moving faster on firmware than I thought...

I can confirm that it IS FULLY REVERSIBLE. You just need to reformat using ODIN while putting an official ROM.
I find it BEYOND strange that samsung hasnt addressed this as an issue, well get froyo but will froyo fix this? i dont think so , in order to fix ALL THE GALAXY S phones samsung would have to format the phones, and how would they achive that? i dont think an update will fix this
I was just thinking about this today. We have seen that the main issue with the lag is that the filesystem sucks, so to fix it they would have to change the whole filesystem to ext or whatever, this means wiping the phone as I don't think there is a reliable way of changing the filesystem without deleting the data inside.
I doubt Samsung would release and update that requires users to delete all the data in their devices, so....who knows. As far as I know they haven't even acknowledged the lag problem yet.
who knows , maybe they'll recommend a "keis backup " (with a few extra HA HA HA's on the side) before wipe.
Do you guys not read other SGS sections? :/
Go to the SGS Android Development forums, you will find 2-3 threads with lag fixes that people have used and have found to be very helpful, almost completely removing the lag.

It's not about the fixes that we have available now, but about seeing if Samsung officially fixes the issue. No matter how good the community fixes are, they are "hacks" that are not as good as Samsung actually fixing the problem, hopefully in the same way, but changing the phone's filesystem to ext.
it's fixed already in the latest firmware official JH2

Is that from Samsung or a community firmware?
from Samsung Kies
but you can get it from samsung firmware .com as usual as well
I have never been able to get Kies to see my phone and gave up on it. So is this a whole new ROM?
I notice running quadrant my phone sits on the i/o test for about a min or more.. its pretty sad a phone this powerful is gimped so badly in that way.
that's part of the new fix in the full new rom

I can't find JH2 on Samsung-firmwares.com nor can I see any post on the forum confirming it has been fixed. Any hints?
that' s for Captivate, and as the I9000 and Captivate are not 100% the same thing i don' t recommend flashing this.
Spybreak That's for Captivate, don't flash. A new firmware will be out in less then a week for SGS , probably the same firmware as the captivate only for sgs.

Yeah, I just realized that looking at the Captivate forums. Good to know it seems to have been officially fixed. Now let's see how long it takes them to release that firmware for Europe.
it's not for captivate, it is for the i9000m
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Samsung_Galaxy_S/Vibrant_GT-I9000M
which is the same as the i9000
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Samsung_Galaxy_S/GT-I9000
it's in the development section
Ok, I got Kies working this time. And it says there is a firmware upgrade. JH2.
Is this safe?
NM I found the other thread about it. Installing. Weee.

They're quite happy to do that actually, I got a brand new i9000 on Bell on Tuesday, I got an update today (their method of delivering these updates leaves a LOT to be desired) and it factory reset my phone.
That's because it was a full flash not just an update.

Yea it did wipe the phone. Not a huge deal.
Phone is definetly smoother, I'm happy.
Phone is smoother for sure. Quadrant is not much faster but it does not hang on the i/o tests like before.

thats the point why do we have to try different methods , we want it to work perfectly out of the box, or at least some minor bugs not bugs HUGE like this , btw this "design flaw/software flaw" only affects the galaxy s or affects the captitative,vibrant, epic 4g?
Just to air my frustrations about the I9000. I have had this handset since it was released and its time to get rid.
I have been very patient with firmware updates and such....and it packs some brilliant hardware in theory but it just does not cut the mustard. I had the I8000 (Omnia 2) prior to this phone and it was exactly the same (except windows OS) because every time samsung brought out a new firmware it was still littered with bugs.
I know people Root their Handsets (I have done all the hacks and speedmods,etc) and rave about the speeds customisation,etc but i still get FCs and apps resetting themselves to default every so often with or without modding.
For example today i had no music showing in my music player but thought oh well....wait......wait. It appeared 10 minutes later. Recorded a video...or so i thought but nothing was saved. The Ringtones i have set are gone and i have to go through everything from scratch. This happens randomly maybe a few times a month. There is always something wrong somewhere and then i have to boot the I9000 down.....Everything is then fine for a while but always raises its ugly head at some point........WTF.
Now i hate to say it but i find myself drawn more and more to the iphone but feel like cutting my hands off or committing suicide for thinking these thoughts...they are blasphemous. I cannot help it though because i have grown to dislike the galaxy s and do not know any other handset that reviews say are better. Maybe its just the Android OS being generic and having to cater for a million different models of handset but surely then this is samsungs fault for not incorporating universal fixes.
If you read this and are deciding to get the galaxy s i would advise not to..... wait for something better now.
Well I have to say that JPY is a very decent firmware. I didn't have any major issue with it, it's fast (without any kind of lag fix) and it's stable . I rooted my SGS and got rid off Samsung's bloatware and I really like the phone now.
There's only two things that bother me, but it has nothing to do with software: I hate speaker position (international version) and also lack of flash/light.
So maybe you should buy a W7 or Symbian phone.
I don't know what to say to you, except you're doing something wrong if you're getting so many FC.
About the ringtones: I've experienced this problem when I deleted thumbnails from gallery (DCIM/thumbnails), at least I think it was because of that. Rebooted the phone and didn't delete the folder since then and never got the issue again.
So I would still recommend this phone, but it still depends on the person who gets it and for how much money.
Peace out.
dude ur phone has a virus. mine had one too exactly the same symptoms as your phone. did a reflash of 2.2 + factory reset phone is working like a charm now.
Im with the original OP. Way too many issues to deal with - I love what the device has to offer - but if I have to worry everytime go I to turn it on if it will work - its not worth it.
If I could have my SGS with the dependability and build quality of an HTC - that would be perfect (I use HTC as an example because all of the ones I have owned have been solid devices).
Yeah thanks opica.....should mention that only really get FCs with some apps that are obviously on the market but not meant for or tested properly on this handset...... overall i should clarify i dont get that many at all. Its mostly just the other things i have experienced such as recording a video and then the handset telling me that the MP4 file is unsupported, i reboot it still does not work so i record another video...this is also an mp4 file and plays. Its just **** like that constantly. I am on JPY but even that firmware gets confused every so often. Like i said i have had 2 samsung phones now both were flagship models at the time but both have fallen short because something this hyped should be the dogs bollocks. But they are not. Whoever says otherwise is kidding themselves IMO.
guys I totally sympathise because I have the voda 16GB SGS and it is fu**ing awful SW im not kidding Eg bbc news app takes about 3 mins to load plus it feezes up all the time to the point where it is unusable. I am unable to answer calls as it just shows the answer call screen but the screen is frozen and this is on the official 2.2 updated from sammy after a reset AHHHHH
However after speaking to and getting no where with samsung i decided i had a phone thats unusable and samsung are not doing a thing so my options were sell it and get an IP4 followed by shotgun insertion to mouth or just bite the bullet and flash a custom rom
WOW I installed darkys v8.0 and its is like a whole new phone that bbc news app now loads instantly no freezing no lagging no issues at all so far. Well besides battery life since I cant put the thing down now. Even WiFi connects in a second now. So amazing work by Darky and team.
Im not promoting this rom go choose our own but im just telling you guys i was in the same boat and now i love the SGS if your out of options and you love the hardware get a new rom.
Someone once said "buy a phone for its hardware capabilities then customize the SW to your specifications, then you will have your perfect phone"
Flash a custom FW? As someone else said, Darky's is a fine one to try.

Exactly... There is loads of custom ROMs posted here on xda.
I had a feeling that the software will be pretty ****ty at the beginning, but I kinda hoped that some decent custom rom will come out, if samsung wasn't able to build one.
My first choice would be nitr0's Insanity, but when JPY came out, it was good enough for me.
Again, I have NO problems now when I sorted everything out, it's merely playing with the looks of the desktop
Give Darky's V8.0 a try

Good Afternoon Sprint Tab users,
I have seen a lot of use wanting more from our tabs and haven't been able to get it. Well I have a plan now. We have a super smart DEV willing to work on getting some stuff out there for our tab. A454Nova and Bauxite have worked on some stuff, but they need help w/ this stuff. I have asked noobnl to help us out and he is willing to get CM6 on the tab, here is the catch we need you to donate to help get him a sprint tab.
This is a huge opportunity to get our tabs to the same level the GSM tabs are at. I am tired of setting at the stock level and want more out of my tabs. With all this said please click on my donate button and lets take the CDMA tab to the next level. Please click on noobnl link in the post below.
Thanks for taking the time to read this.
V/r,
Jkurl
not worth it since the galaxy tab 2 is coming out
all your money is refunded
ok i just donated. Check your e-mail and you are halfway to your tab. This is how serious I am about making this tab kick a$%.
Awesome! I'll put some in on Monday, I have to move funds around.
jkurl, I knew you meant business when your where PMing me. lol crazy guy!
Thanks noobnl!
We might edit the topic to show the cause.
We also nee to get our own section soon.
yep, I do mean business. This is going to be awesome. i am excited to get this going. Take that GSM tabs.

Yep it looks like the t mobile tab is the way to go.
I really hate to say it but... I feel sick that this only had a life of a few months. TAB2 is going to awesome and I feel like samsung just ****ed over on all our Sprint ppl. If I where you guys. SELL them now while you can get some money for it. I played the double 30 day game. Thanks God!
Im gonna keep mine sense i did get a good deal on mine and im ony paying payments and also agood 3year warrantty which even if i spill something on it or kil it somehow its covered
and even if there isint gonna be no mods its really not a big deal to me the tab does everything i want it to do anyways.
Sill sucks tho that a new tab is coming out aready. . But than again thats how tech goes and after the tab 2 comes out there might be a tab 3 months.down the road again llol
Another thing is its not gonna come out for another 3 or 4 months whichi cant be with out my tab that long.
I still hope there will be some dev worked on these tabs tho by someone even tho not much a big deal to me but stil would be nice, And hopefully it will get honey comb ported to it because i was reading that they got the nook color to boot honey comb. . . Lol so if that can run it than this tab can run it better. It is getting gingerbread atleast for now tho not sure when. . . .
But ya im still happy with the tab.

Please be careful how you word things, I saw you posted this in another thread too. before everyone ups and flashes this please PLEASE wait until someone who has already lost gps from flashing tests it to see if it fixes gps. I only say this because there is already an "almost stock" flashable ROM with that name on this forum that has the Epic 4G modem in it. it is just a ROM to help folks recover their Sprint Tabs as a last resort but you lose gps.
can someone please with a Bricked GPS Sprint Galaxy tab try this and tell us if the GPS works after?
UPDATE !!!!!!!!!!!!!! EDIT!!!! IMPORTANT READ!!!!!!!
I emailed the guy and this is what he said:
"I'm using this firmware more than month, but i'm not from USA, so i cant say anything abut working 3g, but guys, who create this firmware, said, that it should work.
GPS doesn't work, but i don't flash it again, because I'm afraid to make it brick again.
modem.bin file from some Sprint HTC device.
All that I can say- this firmware works, and its better, then "gold" brick."
So the above link with the stock sprint rom is the same one that bricks your GPS and uses a different MODEM.BIN and no way to get your GPS working again unless you send it into samsung!

try and flash overcome and see what happens
You'll need balls of steel to do it though.
Given this post, I think you can safely say that a WiFi Tab subforum isn't going to happen!

Not really, just some common sense. For example, if you DO NOT have the original firmware FOR THE GIVEN DEVICE that you can flash in case of emergency and a flashing app that works in emergencies, DO NOT flash anything to that device, period. Unless, of course, you're ok with quite possibly staring at the download screen forever. It takes a lot to kill these things but if it's waiting for good firmware you don't have and you can't get, you may as well have killed it.
We just recombined GSM and CDMA, why split for Wifi only?
Actually, I'm indifferent. I'm just trying to get my post count up so I can talk to DEV's.
Good point. Now that I look at things again the Tab itself is all in one area anyway. Ill just keep my eyes peeled for wifi specific stuff.
