Hi, I just brought my galaxy S to Samsung Service Center PJ as i noticed that when i tap on the chrome part near the volume button and noticed there is a tap sound and have some loosen touch feel.

First of all, i would say their technician is not so technically well versed and with a bad attitude as well. They told me that every galaxy S also have this and asked me not to bother about it. (well we paid rm1699 for a device and you asking me not to bother ?)

Then they brought out 1 galaxy S and show me that the device is exactly having the issue which i'm having. I'm asked them is it possible to check and replace the chrome part should there is a defect, they said its not possible cause the chrome part is comes together with the glass and Super AMOLED.

Guys, could you all check whether your galaxy S also encountering this issue ?
Thanks in advance.

Nope I don't have squeaky chrome problem nor the loose feel. Maybe it's subjective, but the light feel it has may have put you to thinking it's a defect cause it's not as chunky as the iPhone.



Hey guys, Froyo has the helicopter view in TWlauncher. Very nice! I got 1540 with Voodoo lagfix on JP6. Not impressive, but realtime performance seems a lot faster than the quadrant value.
General use is as fast as JM8/9 (w/2224 quadrant), but I see a tad faster performance in Froyo when it boils down to 100+ apps.

Battery life is good, I didn't restore my apps last night so I don't have batterylife, but when I woke up this morning (after probably 6 hours of standby) battery less by about 5% only. Not bad.

I flashed JP6 twice, the first time I lost market and I don't know how to restore it, tried factory wipe but still not there. So I flashed again.

Went through:
Flash ODIN JM8 (w/ repartition 512.pit)
Flash ODIN JP6 (w/o repartition 512.pit)
Flash ChainFire root (PDA only CF-Root-JP6-v1.2-Busybox-1.17.1.zip)
Flash Voodoo lagfix (PDA only Voodoo 5 pre6)

Here's the links if you guys wanted to try it:
*Note: The KIES method of flashing froyo will not give you froyo cause Samsung pulled off Froyo from the update already.

LOL, i've been flashing different firmwares for the past 3 days. I think I'll settle down on this.

I just realised I have been Voodoo free for the whole day (shows that Froyo has been a good girl so far biggrin.gif) Weird, I deleted "disable lagfix" file from Voodoo directory, how come still disabled? How to enable it? I need to Odin flash it?

I use it, not frequent. Nope no need internet. It's basically a program that lets you command the phone what you want to do with it like opening apps.

This would be good.  rclxms.gif

I wanted to compile something similar, but I'm just too lazy and busy at the same time. Besides, I don't bookmark everything that I read/went through. So it's gonna be a pain to dig them back up on the net.

A first page on a new thread called "Risky Stuff You Can Do To Your Samsung Galaxy S" would be nice, with all the information compiled together and reachable with 1 click.  laugh.gif

That would be nice, but I think hihihehe did a very nice outline already in the first post. I followed his Odin guide and got Froyo... hehe...

Desire HD was claimed to have a faster GPU than SGS.

Nope, actually Desire HD is with Adreno 205 which is about the same performance wise like the PowerVR SGX 535.
Hummingbird is equipped with PowerVR SGX 540. biggrin.gif

JPM quite buggy for me(maybe launcher pro problem)
when i exit apps(like task manager or browser), it will "blink" black screen like refreshing the launcher
*
I got that too when first flashed Froyo, JP6 to be exact. Very laggy, I was using TW and lots of folders. Everytime after closing an app I get black screen then blank home screens.
After re-flashing again and getting rid of Voodoo, weird it's super fast now but quadrant test scored 970 only.

We might own one of the best android in the world after this is accomplished.

They should also be going into GPS softwares and microphone softwares... Those are another big blunders in SGS.

im sure they will fix the GPS software. it has been told since the first froyo news, the new one i know is
fixing the camera software(really hoping for the mic for audio/video recording cuz i know its not a hardware problem)
and i read somewhere they implement a 3D sms software app.. still unclear how it looks like or how it works.
*
I imagine it will be like the 3D gallery in Froyo la... Hope they do what they plan to do.

Btw, Just sharing my home screens. biggrin.gif

First needs Desktop Virtualizer (to customise tiles on homescreen), launcher pro or adw launcher (to resize tiles), and photoshop to custom your personal tiles with pics.

I'm impressed with your work on the home screen.
You are very creative I must say. How much time u spent on it?

Thanks. Not creative la cos the idea wasn't original. Haha. I don't know but roughly about the a few hours to edit here and there.

You just have to backspace the label (that will label your app) until it's cleared. That should do. And also, I suggest you insert Touch Effect as None.

Arghhhh! Maxis gives people so much trouble! My line got barred again.
I've only used the phone for a week.

My data charges for the first 2 days was not under data plan and they charged me over 1k for it, suspecting me of using 230MB+? This is unbelievable!


Hey guys, in v5, there are a few people with overcharged bills from Maxis right? (emino and others...)

How do you guys solve this? And did Maxis overcharge again?
I am going to Maxis centre to settle this.
