for those looking for a copy of our region's firmware for safekeeping or whatever, the file at samsung-firmware is corrupted. here's a good copy...courtesy of our friends down south. (goondu from hardwarezone.sg) looks like it's copied from a kies download smile.gif
please read his instructions carefully first, ok!
For those who wants the DXJG4 software, I have downloaded it and just flashed it. Please read this before you flash.
You need 7z to unzip.
There are 4 files in it; the CODE, MODEM, CSC and PIT513 file.
There is no necessity to put the MODEM into phone and CSC into the csc of Odin3, because CODE tar file already included these 2 items.
Please use PIT513, with Re-partition checked.
If you use PIT512, it will fail.
The link is as follows:
i9000DXJG4 This is taken from a Thai website.
P/S: Swype contains bahasa indonesia and melayu. useful for our malay friends.
Locale we have english us and uk, bahasa indonesia, melayu, tieng viet, thai, koren and mandarin. would be useful for those who knows viet and thai.
Now you can flash to your heart's content, because we have stock firmware from singtel!!!

some guidelines to prolong li-ion batteries :
1) Avoid frequent full discharges because this puts additional strain on the battery. Several partial discharges with frequent recharges are better for lithium-ion than one deep one. Recharging a partially charged lithium-ion does not cause harm because there is no memory. (In this respect, lithium-ion differs from nickel-based batteries.) Short battery life in a device is mainly cause by heat rather than charge / discharge patterns.
2) Batteries with fuel gauge should be calibrated by applying a deliberate full discharge once every 30 charges. Running the pack down in the equipment does this. If ignored, the fuel gauge will become increasingly less accurate and in some cases cut off the device prematurely.
3) Keep the lithium-ion battery cool. Avoid a hot car. For prolonged storage, keep the battery at a 40% charge level.
4) Avoid purchasing spare lithium-ion batteries for later use. Observe manufacturing dates. Do not buy old stock, even if sold at clearance prices.
5) If you have a spare lithium-ion battery, use one to the fullest and keep the other cool by placing it in the refrigerator. Do not freeze the battery. For best results, store the battery at 40% state-of-charge.
hope this helps, still trying to understand the nature of li-ion batteries but of course the control of a battery also depends on the settings in the firmware, so later firmwares should by right give better battery management on the device
@hihihehe
can i request you put these advice and the firmware on the 1st post? cause the firmware is corrupted at the samsung-webs, so its better to keep the alternative link
