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

The lag fix may potentially ruin your internal SD card, no?


Added on August 12, 2010, 12:13 am

You haven't included the shipping, the shipping costs a good portion of the case.

Turion and I have combined to order from gmarket before. Nothing out of the ordinary, except you need to choose international seller and note the shipping costs.
*
actually i have included the shipping cost into it.

the item, SGP leather case only is 40,000 won, and i check the fee for international, malaysia = region 1, item weight estimate 0.33kg, 10,400,

so is that correct way to estimate the full cost?


EDIT: how to choose international as the shipping delivery and how to add the address?

I see a few questions have popped up:

Q. Does this lag fix cause any damage to my phone?
A. No, zero damage! This fix is buffering the I/O operations to the actual hardware. This means that this fix is actually increasing the life of your internal SD card (barring any bugs) as it is writing to it far less.

Q. I hear EXT2 is unsafe! Will I lose all my data?!
A. This fix can make you lose some data if you pull out the battery while the phone is running. However, since the underlying system is journaled, your data cannot become corrupted, and you should lose at most a few minutes of data, which has not yet been written to disk. Since most people are not pulling out their battery while their device is on, and that this fix really makes the phone much smoother, I think the fix is worth it. As with every fix you see here, these are all community fixes, and there is no huge QA department running tests. On any of these fixes. You are that QA department! Samsung is hopefully working on fixing up the device themselves which will make this redundant before long (please please). The other lagfixes (including the external SD lag fix) also have the chance of causing you problems, so there is no silver bullet.

Q. This new update.zip method should be in the first post!
A. YEAH!

Q. I think you should do improvement X.
A. Working on it! All suggestions welcome! And feel free to try it yourself, all you need is ADB and a bit of time. If you find anything, let us all know!

SAUCE

there is one guy that on v2 thread that have theory the same as the question. so i guess the myth totally busted eh

Yes correct, if you factor in then alright, it is the full cost.

International shipping is selected after you put it into basket.
If you don't tick 'domestic shipping' it automatically becomes international shipping.

From the shopping cart you complete the order in english.

thank you thumbup.gif

Emm very interesting. This seller is from Malaysia with 100% rate. Since he state Samsung Warranty, is it Malaysia now start receiving 8g SGS?

So noobie1, are you get your phone from this seller? Or you just comparing your box with his? Want to know if Malaysia really start having 8gb SGS.
*
maybe because he has a reason, as far as i know, only maxis hold the ORI set, and ori set supposed to be 16GB. and all other shop outside only have ap set, ap set 8GB,

maybe that set is from outside malaysia but got international samsung warranty. just my theory

brut map is another variant of google map, with voice navigation. It's just an app, like the original stock map app.

Anybody using I9000XXJP3? What's the feedback so far?
*
JP3 is the most i love using, but right now i am on DXJG4, just want to feel how it is on an official firmware.

i can say i miss the flash 10.1 support on JP3, but DXJG4 i do encounter less lag. (note: i apply lag fix on both firmware).

but DXJG4 have less problem with application cause JP3 is just a leaked beta firmware. so still got some application that is incompatible with it, but not much apps that have problem.....
